Song Song’s movements were a little clumsy, but his eyes held an urgency entirely different from his body.
Li Xiao’s expression suddenly became complicated. Song Song thought he was starting to regret again, so hurried forward and reached for his belt: “Your highness…”
Li Xiao held his hands still, looking somewhat hard pressed, almost as if an unacceptable difference just occurred between what he expected and reality. Song Song thought about the past life. What if… Li Xiao didn’t like forward people?
Understandable. A man like himself probably didn’t want to lose control under any circumstance.
Song Song suddenly felt a little awkward. He knew his reason for approaching Li Xiao was hard to explain. Luckily, Li Xiao didn’t know that he really could bear children. So his bold advances could be blamed on the fact that he was a male pet, just aggressively trying to curry favor that’s all.
Thinking of it like this, Song Song felt a little better.
“If your highness isn’t interested, then just pretend that I…” He subconsciously withdrew his hand while trying to relieve the strange atmosphere. But Li Xiao suddenly used strength and yanked him back into his arms.
Song Song’s heart leapt, but he quickly noticed that the man was busy measuring his waist circumference. Then touching from his waist upwards, he pressed against the protruding bones on his back with his hand, mumbling: “Still too skinny.”
Song Song felt very disappointed.
It’s not like he can gain weight all at once. He had to go step by step.
He unhappily lowered his gaze and sulked: “You highness, please let go. I still have to continue planting.”
The corners of Li Xiao’s mouth suddenly rose. His fingers slid down Song Song’s cheek and caressed his chin. Then he lowered his head and kissed him.
The greenhouse was a good place. Even if the day was cold, just staying inside for a little while, one will start sweating.
When Song Song opened his eyes on the bed, everything was very quiet. He was alone inside the bed curtains. From the light shining through the slit in between the curtains, he could tell that now it was already the middle of the day.
Today, Li Xiao went to court.
Feeling clean and refreshed, Song Song was surprised. He never thought Li Xiao could be so considerate.
If no issues occur, then the little guy should be in his stomach by now. Thinking about this, Song Song’s entire person felt energetic. He got up and seriously ate breakfast, making the decision to strengthen his body no matter what.
At the table, someone told him: “Wangye will be going to the army camp after court today. He might not return until the afternoon.”
Song Song gave a sound of acknowledgement. After eating, he went back to the greenhouse. Although it was too soon for the scattered seeds to sprout already, Song Song still had dirt patches that he didn’t finish turning yesterday. When done, he planted down a different kind of seed.
Such a leisurely time did not last forever. Qi Haoyun suddenly ran over, reporting: “Someone is here from the palace.”

Song Song blinked and asked “Who sent them?”
“Ktf fwqgfrr.”

However, since the person was sent by the empress, he couldn’t simply avoid seeing them. Song Song put down the hoe and walked out. Qi Haoyun followed him panicking. “Gongzi, gongzi. How about we don’t go?”
Song Song looked at him laughing. “If people knew that a small male pet from wangye’s estate dared to casually disrespect the empress, she will use it as an excuse to cause trouble for his highness.”
Song Song expected this to happen anyways.
That day when he stabbed Song Shi, one reason was because of extreme hatred, the second reason was because he already considered the result.
If Song Shi died, Madam Song would have complained straight to the ministry of justice and caused a scene. He wasn’t afraid of that happening. After all, in other people’s eyes, he was always meek, quietly accepting insults and abuse. If he pretended to be scared in front of the ministry, he might even be able to give Song Ge a bad reputation. But now that Madam Song had complained to the empress. It signified that Song Shi’s injury was getting better.
Song Song felt it a pity that he wasn’t able to kill him.
When he reached the front hall, Song Song immediately greeted politely: “This commoner welcomes gonggong. Not sure what gonggong is here for?
That eunuch examined him quickly from head to toe. His adopted father was the Empress’s personal eunuch. Overtime, even he was faintly aware of the ongoing events in the Empress’s sister’s house. He saw Song Song with dirt sticking to his feet, looking weak and delicate, and became certain that the rumors were true. This bastard son of the Song family was indeed a pushover.
That time when he injured Song Shi was probably like a scared rabbit forced to bite.
Today’s errand can be finished quickly.
He laughed once, speaking in a high pitched voice that made people’s ears hurt. “Per the Empress’s orders, please have Song gongzi come discuss family matters. Gongzi, the carriage is ready. Let’s go.”
He turned to leave, presuming Song Song to follow accordingly, but unexpectedly heard a gentle voice from behind him. “Before wangye left, he stated he wanted to drink the soup made specifically by this commoner. Looking at the time, he will be returning soon. If gonggong is not in a hurry, then why not wait for this commoner to finish stewing the soup before we go.”
That eunuch furrowed his brows, turned around and said. “The Empress’s imperial edict, you dare decline?!”
“Gonggong has mistaken this commoner.” Song Song said calmly. “This one is just a poor commoner. Eating wangye’s food and living in wangye’s estate… according to reason, compassion, and written rules, it’s difficult for me to disobey his orders.”
The eunuch finally realized that Song Song won’t be moved as easily as he thought, and immediately said viciously: “So what? You’re afraid to disobey wangye, yet you dare to disobey the Empress?”
“Gonggong, speak carefully. How could this commoner dare to disobey?”
The eunuch laughed coldly. “Don’t dare? I can see you’re plenty courageous. Wangye and the Empress, whose authority is higher? You better think carefully.”
Seeing Song Song’s face look conflicted, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. The mad king’s estate really wasn’t a place where people could stay. As soon as he got here, he’d been feeling the chills. Song Song better hurry up and make the decision. After he finished this errand, he still had to go to a monastery to burn incense and pray to the gods for safety and health.
Yet, while Song Song was conflicted, he didn’t allow himself to be pressured, saying. “I can’t afford to offend either person. Still asking gonggong for permission, please allow this commoner to finish making the soup.”
On one hand, respectful, on the other still insisting on making soup. The eunuch was so mad even his eyebrows stood up.
The longer he stayed in the mad king’s estate, the shorter his life span felt. Not to mention, he had to interact with this favored pet in this kind of place, always feeling like the mad king will pop out of nowhere anytime and stab him with a sword. He yelled angrily. “You worthless commoner, we could have done this nicely but you have to choose the hard way! Come, take him away!”
The two small eunuchs behind him stepped forward to grab Song Song’s arms. Qi Haoyun knew Song Song didn’t know how to fight and hurried up to help, but suddenly heard Song Song call resoundingly towards the outside: “Wangye!”
Bang—- Several knees hit the ground, one sounding louder than the next. The eunuch that was throwing his weight around had immediately knelt down trembling with his head pressed into the floor, face full of cold sweat dripping to the floor. When he opened his mouth to speak, his voice sounded less like a duck and was instantly far more appropriate. “This servant greets wangye. May wangye live thousands and thousands of years…”
The lesser eunuchs also knelt on the floor trembling.
In the silence of the room, suddenly came a chuckle. In the end, Qi Haoyun was still young, so he was the first who couldn’t hold it in.
Song Song also looked at the scene with his mouth pressed closed, a hint of laughter in his eyes.
The eunuch finally realized he was being played with and jumped up. Unknown if it’s from feeling too embarrassed or too furious, his face continually changed several colors.
Song Song remained unperturbed, stating calmly. “Seeing gonggong like this, no doubt you are well aware of wangye’s illness. If he finds out that someone dared to use force in his territory… I’m afraid when the time comes, it might be hard for you to explain to the Empress.”
If Li Xiao returned and discovered someone used force in his house, then he’d have a legitimate reason to cause trouble for the Empress. Not to mention, what if he accidentally got triggered and lost control, injuring the Empress or something… It’d be his fault. He might as well kiss his head goodbye.
This stupid errand, whoever wants it. They can have it!
The eunuch flung his sleeve and turned to leave, but Song Song didn’t plan to let him go. “If you return empty handed, and the Empress starts asking, wouldn’t it look bad?”
The eunuch’s clenched teeth almost broke. “What. Do. You. Propose!”
Song Song smiled faintly. “Just sit and wait a while. When this commoner finishes making soup for his highness, I’ll definitely enter the palace with you.”
That eunuch shook all over, face taut as he sat in a chair. Song Song ordered someone to bring him tea, then brought Qi Haoyun outside. “Find two people to close the front door.”
Qi Haoyun followed his instruction, then ran back to ask: “Gongzi, why are we keeping them?”
“If they’re allowed to return empty handed, the Empress can say I refused to follow the imperial edict, then use the chance to openly ask his highness for my head, then what?”
Qi Haoyun froze for a second: “Wangye wouldn’t hand you over…”
“If that’s the case, then wangye will have to go against the empress head on. Such a big situation, the result would be hard to predict.” Song Song headed towards the kitchen.
Qi Haoyun with his head down, considered for a second, then suddenly hit himself on the head and said. “What a close call. Just now if they took the chance to leave when you first declined, using retreat as a way to advance, then that would mean…”
“Shh.” Song Song said. “Making soup is important.”
He just finished cutting the ribs. From the outside, a lively young servant girl ran in. “Gongzi, the eunuch left!”
Song Song froze: “What happened to the people guarding the door?”
“They…” The girl mumbled vaguely, but Song Song understood. His position in this estate was just a regular male pet. His orders entered the left ear and left through the right. They have no real authority. That eunuch realized this so quickly meant he wasn’t dumb. All he had to do was show the Empress’s command token and scare the guards a little, naturally he’d be released.
Song Song fell silent for a moment, then picked up the cutting knife again. “We can only leave our fate to the will of heaven now.”
If he sent people to chase them down, the situation would grow even worse.
Outside, as soon as the eunuch exited the door, he immediately slapped himself hard twice, one on each side of his face, shocking the small attendant next to him. “Liang gonggong, what are you…”
Liang gonggong touched his own red and swollen face, and laughed coldly “Didn’t you see? A nameless little male pet, dare beat up the Empress’s personal eunuch… how completely disrespectful to the Empress.”
Sneering, he just prepared to get on the carriage when he suddenly heard the sound of horses approaching. The man riding on a huge strong horse in the front gradually stopped in front of him.
15 minutes later, the escaped eunuch was mercilessly tossed at Song Song’s feet.
“A day out of my sight, Song-er already learned how to hit people.”
Li Xiao walked over to Song Song, picked up his fair white hands with exaggerated flourish and a face full of earnest concern, asked.
“Does your hand hurt?
The author has something to say:
Eunuch: …. Hand hurt. Face hurt. And stomach hurt from being stuffed full of dog food.
Thank You for the chapter (ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡
