Chapter 967: Someone from the Palace

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that the Song family could not see their injuries as if they were blind and were instead concerned about the person who hit them, Hong Qiao was furious. She was about to say something when a sharp voice sounded from outside the door.

“Wow, the residence is lively today.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in under the lead of a servant. The leader was Eunuch Li, the eldest eunuch beside Emperor Chong’an.

Noticing the injuries on the faces of Hong Qiao and the others, Eunuch Li was surprised, but he did not show it on his face. He only smiled and went forward to greet the three masters of the Song family. Then, he exchanged pleasantries with Old Master Song.

Speaking of which, Old Master Song had long passed the title to his son. He had also handed over his military power. Unless there was a war outside, he usually did not attend court.

Perhaps because he felt that it was awkward to neglect him, Emperor Chong’an would summon him to the palace from time to time. At the very least, he would send someone to the Duke’s residence every few days to take care of him to show his value. Therefore, Eunuch Li could be considered a regular guest in the residence.

Madam Li only thought that it was the same this time. As for why she did not suspect that he was here because of Princess Linghui, he did not even ask when she saw Hong Qiao and the others, let alone mention Linghui. It was obvious that he did not know about this matter.

With this thought in mind, Madam Li prepared to leave with Little Jiajia and Song Jingchen.

On the other hand, Eunuch Li stopped talking and said before Madam Li could speak, “His Majesty was inspired today and specially asked Her Majesty to prepare a small banquet in the Qiongfang Hall. I’m here this time on His Majesty’s orders to bring everyone to the palace to attend the banquet.”

He paused for a moment and looked at the three Song family members. When he looked at Little Jiajia again, there was a hint of unnoticeable respect. “And this delicate guest.”

The empress came from the Bulwark Duke’s residence, so it was reasonable for her to invite the Song family to a small banquet in the palace. However, there had never been a banquet as sudden as today. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be a spur of the moment.

Eunuch Li did not explain. He thought of something and said jokingly, “On the way here, I heard the commoners discussing the future heiress of the residence. Isn’t this delicate guest the future heiress?”

Seeing that he was so perceptive, Little Jiajia instantly forgot about the unhappiness she felt from being stared at. She smiled and was about to nod and admit it.

Song Jingchen spoke first. “Eunuch Li, you’ve misunderstood. I suddenly fainted because I wasn’t feeling well. She happened to see me and sent me back. For some reason, rumors started spreading outside. Speaking of which, she saved my life.”

He did not know where Little Jiajia came from, so he naturally could not introduce her.

As for the matter of saving his life, he deliberately mentioned it because she had just beaten up the princess. With this relationship, Emperor Chong’an would not punish her too much on account of the Bulwark Duke’s residence.

After all, Linghui was the one who caused trouble first and was not in the right.

Actually, he still found it strange. Why did everyone in and out of the palace know that he had a new wife in less than half a day?

And it was without his knowledge!

It was fine if he did not hear it with his own ears previously, but since he had come to ask, he naturally had to clarify. It had to be known that such rumors were really damaging to a young lady’s reputation.

Hearing that he had fainted, Little Jiajia felt a little guilty. If not for her collision, her little husband would not have fainted.

Hearing him deny it again, the guilt instantly dissipated. She glared at Song Jingchen angrily.

Song Jingchen pursed his lips tightly. An unnatural expression flashed across his face, but he was stubborn enough not to speak again.

Eunuch Li saw the change in their expressions and knew what to do. He tactfully stopped talking about this topic.

“Old Master, look, His Majesty is still waiting..”
