Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Mom Is Just a Legend
Itâs not that Song Ci is obsessed with conspiracy theories, thinking the worst of human nature, itâs just that sheâs seen too much, like the history of her own world, that whole "Nine Dragons Contend for the Throne" thing, wasnât that brutal?
Oh, according to the skeptics, the dynasty sheâs in doesnât even exist. Who knows, it might be a refreshing change in the palace intrigue world, where everyone is full of love and the Imperial Family is one big happy family, always yielding and polite to each other.
As if! One big happy family? More like building a group chat!
Judging by how Emperor Chu is adept at guarding against his sons and courtiers, you know the tradition of palace intrigue isnât far off.
Song Ci quietly took a bite of her melon. Thereâs no need to say more; just grab a seat and enjoy the show.
"Are you all having tea here?"
Song Zhiyu walked into the garden, beckoned a maid, and sat down beside Niu Panâer after bringing over a chair.
Niu Panâer: "Werenât you at Bao Datongâs birthday banquet having a drink? Why are you back so early?"
"Just had two cups of wine. They changed places, it wasnât interesting, so I came back." Song Zhiyu shrugged and said, "Anyway, with my relationship with Bao Datong, not having a cup or two wonât cause any grievance."
"Why wasnât it interesting? Are you feeling unwell or lacking Silver? Have Ying Hua get you some silver notes to go back?" Niu Panâer said generously.
Song Zhiyu: "..."
I know youâre so poor that all you have left is money, but donât act like Iâll die if I donât go out and play, okay!
I clearly want to be a good husband and a good father!
Song Ci watched with a smile from the side, feeling like a classic duo of a mature woman and a puppy. Perfect match.
Song Zhiyu, catching his motherâs mischievous glance, pretended to put on a frown, saying, "As if Iâd be short of Silver? Iâm just annoyed theyâre going to the pleasure boat, canât be bothered to go, itâs boring."
Song Ci: "You really are becoming a dad now, that discipline is good, donât set a bad example for your child. Being a dad, you have to set a good example."
"Naturally." Song Zhiyu said proudly, puffing out his chest.
Niu Panâer: "Keeping young men cooped up isnât good either, you should let loose a little."
Oops!
Song Zhiyu gave her a resentful glare.
Is there any other wife who encourages her man to fool around?
Song Ci was also shocked. This daughter-in-law is so generous, could she care less about the father of her baby?
Lin Qing: The Commandery Princess truly is no ordinary person.
Niu Panâer: "..."
Facing the varied expressions of the others, she felt a bit innocent. She wasnât tender and delicate by nature, and being older than her husband, she naturally had to yield more to him.
Men having romances outside is normal, let alone, their future child would take his surname. Even preventing him from being frivolous seems too harsh, poor Song Yulang is too constrained!
If Song Ci knew what Niu Panâer was thinking, sheâd probably spit out old blood, worrying for her son. This mindset clearly shows sheâs not in love with him.
Song Zhiyu gave Niu Panâer a few sharp looks, saying, "Right, while drinking just now, I heard thereâs an auspicious sign in the mountains of Jizhouâs Yecheng: a strange stone shaped like a blue dragon, with the quality of white jade. Itâs said that when it appeared, colorful auspicious clouds were seen in the sky, as if an immortal was passing by, prompting local people to worship and claim an immortal had descended."
Pfft.
Cough cough.
Niu Panâer and Lin Qing each spat out.
Song Zhiyu angrily.
Wiping his face covered in tea, he glared at Niu Panâer indignantly.
You must have some issues with me.
Niu Panâer exchanged a glance with Lin Qing, then looked at Song Ci.
Confirmed, your predictions are spot-on, you could set up a stall!
Song Ci looked as if hiding her great achievements and fame, calmly took a sip of her tea.
Donât worship, Iâm just a legend, everything I say comes true!
