"You can speak louder so that everyone can hear you." The man replied coldly.

"Jiang Song, Jiang Shisan, you are despicable and shameless!" Seventeen covered his neck in pain, "A-choo——"

Last night, when he was kicked out of the Hot Spring Palace, he saw Jiang Song coming in. Before he could say anything, Seventeen was knocked unconscious by a knife.

“A-choo——”

"Seventeenth Noble Concubine, please move to the palace with me?" The eunuch urged with a smile.

Seventeen substitutes, all living in the Palace of Fairy Girls.

Here, not everyone has a single room, but a quad room.

Song Niannian didn't care about the harem. The meals sent from the imperial kitchen were of different grades and all needed money to be paid for.

Seventeen years later, she won the chance to sleep with the emperor and became a phoenix. How could anyone not be jealous?

"Hmph, your face is something that cannot be seen in public anyway. Jiang Song, you didn't kneel in front of His Majesty last night, covering your face with a pillow, and serve him in bed, right? If you were a woman, you would definitely have to lie down so that you can pique His Majesty's interest with your back?" Seventeen lowered her voice and spoke viciously in Jiang Song's ear.

He left leisurely.

"Jiang Song, what did Seventeen tell you?"

"You two have always had a good relationship. Jiang Song, did Seventeen tell you any secrets about sleeping with His Majesty? What positions does His Majesty like?"

"Your Majesty is so amazing! I don't even dare to look up in front of her. They say my lip shape is most like that of the Thirteenth Prince. But if I don't look up, how can Your Majesty see me?"

…

A group of men, wearing similar robes and having similar hairstyles.

Jealous of Seventeen who had just been favored.

He also poisoned the palace, competed with others, and used all means...

Is this really a man? How can he look so hideous?

This harem...ha!

Jiang Song closed his peach blossom eyes coldly, sat by the window, and dozed off, but his brows gradually furrowed.

His face was disfigured, but Jiang Song's back and under his clothes were covered in red scratches...

.

The next day, Song Niannian summoned Seventeen to sleep with her.

But he watched the man from a distance.

Song Niannian knew it was definitely not him.

She was reviewing memorials while Seventeen was grinding ink beside her, spending the entire night doing so.

On the second day, Song Niannian rewarded Seventeen with many more things.

Seventeen's eyelids were blue and his steps were unsteady, obviously he had not slept all night.

.

The Imperial Concubine Palace is not far from the Palace of the Beautiful Ladies.

Jiang Jiu got the news and gnashed his teeth in the Palace of Beautiful Ladies, "This Jiang Shiqi is just a little bitch! Doesn't she just look like the Thirteenth Prince when she bows her head? She sneaked into the Hot Spring Palace without saying a word, and His Majesty happened to be drunk!"

"Jiang Song, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"

"Oh? What do you want to do?" Jiang Song looked at him with dark eyes.

Jiang Jiu shrank his neck. "Why do you look like you want to kill someone? This is in the palace, with a bunch of imperial guards. Even if you kill Seventeen, His Majesty will not look down on you. Your face... if it weren't for the scar, you would look more like the prince in the portrait than Seventeen..."

"Yes, you are right."

Jiang Jiu looked at Jiang Song and saw his expression become calm again, like a still stone.

Only then did he muster up the courage to conspire with Jiang Song, "I heard that the young prince will be watching the moon in the Imperial Garden tonight."

"It's still the twelfth lunar month, and it's so cold. If the little prince fell into the water and we saved him, His Majesty would surely be filled with gratitude! I heard that the little prince is the only child of the Thirteenth Prince and His Majesty, and His Majesty treasures him like a treasure..."

"Alas, Jiang Song, if I were the Thirteenth Prince and received such love from His Majesty, it would be worth it for me to die immediately."

With a scoff, Jiang Song looked Jiang Jiu up and down. He was a jerk, vicious, and without any other strengths. Yet, this man had a delicate and handsome face, and he claimed his lips looked most like his. So, had Song Niannian kissed him? With lips that looked like his?

"Jiang Jiu, if you don't say anything, that means you agree. We'll meet tonight at 3:00 PM on the path east of the Imperial Garden."

.

It was really cold, and Jiang Song waited in the dark.

But Jiang Jiu didn't arrive for a long time.

The male favorite's clothes were thin, and they made him feel cold all over from the neck.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he suddenly heard the footsteps of the guards coming straight towards him.

Jiang Song jumped over the wall and hid behind the rockery on the other side.

Jiang Jiu, "Strange, my lords, Jiang Song clearly told me that he would be waiting here tonight for the little prince to come down, just waiting for an opportunity to push the little prince into the water... How come he's gone?"

"Hey, hey, I... I'm not lying, Jiang Song, Jiang Song, come out! Where were you hiding? I saw you!"

At this time, if Jiang Song still doesn't know that he is being plotted against, he is a fool.

He lowered his eyes and sneered again, mockingly.

Jiang Jiu was quickly dragged away.

The Imperial Guards were searching nearby again, their footsteps gradually fading away...

.

This harem is strange and ugly.

The ugliest person should be the woman who supports this group of men and imprisons them in the harem, right?

Jiang Song felt extremely bored. Even after all these years, he still felt something when he saw her.

So what? What she did now was so disgusting that he didn't want to see her again.

Turn around and prepare to leave.

"Daddy."

Someone suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

The little figure stumbled over like a cannonball and hugged him tightly.

"Is that you? You're here to see Fu Baoer!"

He was wearing a black robe, and his cloak was completely gone, but his small body looked up at him.

His peach blossom eyes were exactly the same as Jiang Song's, filled with tears. He looked at Jiang Song with hope, as if he had finally caught him. He hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, Jiang Song would leave.

"Your Highness," Jiang Song's body was stiff, and his voice was hoarse, like the friction of gravel.

"You've got the wrong person."

He lowered his head and slowly pried Song Jue's hands away.

"I am Jiang Song, the male favorite of the Palace of Beautiful Ladies. I am not who Your Highness thinks I am."

"Your Highness, the palace is dangerous. It's so late, so don't walk around casually in the future."

"Male lover?"

"Yes, male favorite."

"Jiang Song?"

"kindness."

Song Jue slowly let go of his hand.

The tears in his peach blossom eyes disappeared when he lowered his head and raised it again.

His soft little face was stern as he walked aside to pick up the cloak that had fallen beside him. Jiang Song thought he was going to leave.

Song Jue turned around and said coldly to Jiang Song,

"You are very good, I like you very much. From today on, you will go to the East Palace to take up your post."

"Today, I got lost and you found me. Please send me back. This rockery is a forbidden place for me. You are not allowed to come here again."

The little kid with baby fat on his face turned cold, and looked very much like the person with the phoenix eyes.

"I……"

"Your Highness, Your Highness? Are you not well yet? His Majesty will be here soon. If you don't leave now, we will not be able to explain to His Majesty!" The eunuch shouted outside.

Song Jue, "Follow me..."

Before he could finish his words, he turned around and saw that the tall, thin man with a scar on his face had disappeared.

Looking back, Song Jue lowered his head, took one step at a time, tightened his cloak, and went out.

On his tender little face, his peach blossom eyes were drooping, and big tears rolled down his face.

Liars, all of them are liars!
