Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 1
Chapter 1 Marriage Contract
May I ask, is there any greater happy event than ten years of cold window, once you become the first rank?
Three days ago, when the golden list was released, firecrackers were lit everywhere in the capital to congratulate, and today it is even more empty. Sanding Jia rode a horse, wearing sparrow feathers and red flowers, and paraded around the imperial city for a week, allowing the people to celebrate together and feel happy by the way.
The common people cheered with envy, and congratulated the three future upstarts.
But what attracts most people’s attention is neither the top pick nor the second place, but the Tanhua at the end. Men, women and children are eagerly looking forward to seeing the true face of Xinke Tanhualang.
“No. 1 in the list is only tested for talent, but Tanhualang is required to have both talent and appearance! Among the dragons and phoenixes, it is even more rare!”
The streets and alleys were crowded with people, and Tanhua Lang rode by on a white horse, and just a quick glance caused people to shout and scream.
On the horseback is a young man who is not as old as the crown, wearing a straight-legged headdress, wearing a green round collar official uniform, flat eyebrows and willow eyes, with a cinnabar mole on the center of his eyebrows, his eyes are light, his skin is whiter than snow, and his figure is beautiful. Straight and thin, the whole person is upright and clear and cold, only a small mole on the left side of his neck gives him a bit of inconspicuous amorous feelings. Kam.
“As expected of the Tanhua Lang handpicked by the Holy Majesty, this handsome little face is really a good son in troubled times, how many girls in Beijing have to steal the admiration of the heart…”
“Tanhua has always been married to the daughter of a prince or a nobleman, or married to a family with hairpin tassels for generations. The future is boundless…”
“It’s a pity that our sage doesn’t have a little princess, but only an only son. I heard that the crown prince is a mighty overlord…”
“The prince and princess are not in the way. The emperor also set a precedent by making a man the queen.”
“Shut up, let’s not be charged with talking about the royal family…”
“You don’t know, do you? Xinke Tanhua is the son of General Song’s family, from a noble family!”
“Song Liqing, the son of the Song family? But I heard that he has a young father who runs the Qinglian House, that notorious bustard…”
“Isn’t that right, Song Liqing is just their adoptive son, speaking of an orphan of unknown origin…”
“Shhh, here we come!”
Discussions were endless, but Song Liqing was unresponsive.
He grew up with gossip, prejudice and abuse, and he has adapted to these.
Song Liqing knew that his talent was mediocre, so he had to study ten times harder than others, studying hard day and night. Mosquitoes are sweltering in summer, and the wind and frost are biting in winter. Getting up early and being greedy for night, the eyes are boiled away and hidden diseases are left behind. No one knows the bitterness.
At least he’s already distinguished himself now, he’s a glorious family member, he didn’t embarrass his two fathers, he is worthy of this family that protects him from wind and rain and gives him warmth.
The folk customs in Beijing are open, and the women in the boudoir who have secretly promised each other threw their sachets and brocade handkerchiefs to show their favor. Song Liqing received a basket of confession tokens. On another matter, far more exhilarating than high school—
“Eunuch.” Song Liqing leaned forward and asked the young eunuch leading the horse, “I heard that the Northwest Army is going to return to the court these days?”
The little eunuch turned around and replied, “Yes.”
Song Liqing, who received an affirmative answer, had a thought, and subconsciously touched the faded yellow tassels tied around his waist.
Jun Qiyu is coming back!
That golden and precious prince, the little devil who is two years younger than him.
The little eunuch said kindly: “Lord Tanhua, don’t worry, General Song is sure to be safe and sound.”
Song Liqing couldn’t help feeling ashamed, his father had also been in command in the Western Regions for many years, so he was only thinking about that little devil whom he hadn’t seen in ten years, he really had no conscience.
He asked urgently, “Then when will we be able to arrive in the capital?”
The little eunuch replied: “Then who knows? It all depends on the prince’s mood to play along the way…”
At that time, Jun Qiyu was only five or six years old. Because of bullying men and women in the palace, he was expelled by his father to go to the academy to study etiquette, justice, integrity and shame.
As soon as the little bully arrived at the academy, he beat up his classmates and forced Song Liqing to do homework for him. He did a lot of evil things, but although he was domineering and moody, he treated Song Liqing well. He supported him as a backer. It’s a big fool who bullies and beats.
Jun Qiyu also gave the old master laxatives, took Song Liqing to skip class together, went to the scene of someone’s marriage recruitment to make trouble, snatched someone’s silk ribbon hydrangea, and led Song Liqing to run all over the street.
The fringed tassels that Song Liqing carried with him were given to him by Jun Qiyu from the hydrangea. Even though they were so old that they turned white, Song Liqing was always reluctant to throw them away.
The past is in front of us. Jun Qiyu lost contact after leaving the academy. He heard that he was severely restrained. After a few years, he went to the Western Regions to practice on the battlefield. Song Liqing also went to the south to study. See.
But Song Liqing always has a shadow of a dandy in his heart, and he has remembered it for a whole ten years. In the past few days, there have been an endless stream of matchmakers who have come to the Song Mansion to talk about marriage.
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”
Horseshoes burst out behind him, and the yelling disrupted Song Liqing’s thoughts.
“The prince returns to Beijing!”
The cavalry led the way, but the people avoided, even Song Liqing and his party led their horses to avoid it.
Song Liqing looked at the team entering the city with his head, and couldn’t help feeling nervous and anticipating.
The army was majestic. The Northwest Army held high the banners of the Dajing Kingdom and the Northwest Army. Columns of carriages pulled captives and trophies, demonstrating their illustrious military exploits. The triumphant return was welcomed by the common people, who spontaneously knelt down on both sides of the street to greet them.
Song Liqing soon saw the General of the Northwest, his adoptive father Song Qing, his face was weathered with years and a scar on his forehead, but he seemed to be in good spirits, Song Liqing resisted the urge to meet and greet each other, and when they returned home they would have their own Time to tell each other about the love between father and son, just be safe.
Beside Song Qing was a young man in a black shirt, and his mount was a hard-to-find maroon horse.
The young man showed no sign of fatigue from a long-distance march. He looked around in high spirits, with stars in his eyes, a wanton smile, and a natural arrogance and nobility.
With just one glance, Song Liqing can overlap him with the little devil in his memory: Jun Qiyu!
No matter where this little overlord goes, he is as dazzling as the sun god, standing out from the crowd.
Jun Qiyu held the rein with his left hand, and an iron chain with his right hand, but a person was tied to the other end of the iron chain!
This person is chained around his neck like a cat and dog plaything, and Jun Qiyu is the master of life and death. The five sense organs seem to be a prisoner of the Western Regions. The strange thing is that although he is locked without self-esteem, he can ride a horse with Jun Qiyu, and even talk and laugh at Yan Yan in Jun Qiyu’s arms. The two behave frivolously, The relationship is ambiguous.
Song Liqing couldn’t bear to look at it carefully, and his eyes darkened.
Jun Qiyu rode his horse through the street, laughed with the slaves, and then stopped in front of Song Liqing.
The old man is close at hand, Jun Qiyu has faded away from the childishness of her early years, her temperament is sharp and compelling, her sword eyebrows are raised like mountains, and her long and narrow phoenix eyes seem to be smiling but not smiling, looking at Song Liqing.
“Are you Tanhualang?” Jun Qiyu’s first words.
Song Liqing lowered his head slightly, his heart beating chaotically.
“I’m Song…”
“I know you are Song Liqing.”
He still remembers me…
Song Liqing had mixed feelings, choked up for a moment and lost his voice, forgetting to answer.
It’s just that when Jun Qiyu said his name, she didn’t have half the eagerness she had when she was a child, but mixed with…indifference and disgust.
Jun Qiyu stared at Song Liqing unscrupulously. Song Liqing had a slight sense of alienation, his face was clear and handsome, and his temperament was cold, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
The small mole on the thin neck is looming on the neckline, which attracts people to find out what kind of style is hidden under the white collar.
Jun Qiyu pointed at Song Liqing and blurted out.
“Take off your robe.”
Song Liqing was caught off guard: “What?!”
Not only Song Liqing, but everyone was shocked. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the crown prince’s behavior was too much for Meng Lang, and he even molested Tanhua Lang in the street.
Not only did this little devil not change his arrogance after all these years of experience, but he even got worse and became so… savage and romantic.
“I like you… this robe, take it off and give it to me.” Jun Qiyu teased, “Aren’t you willing to give it?”
Song Liqing knew that Jun Qiyu had stayed in Xihai Mansion for ten years, dealt with non-educated barbarians, was influenced by his ears and eyes, was arrogant and favored, and had developed such an unscrupulous temperament.
It was exactly the same as when he unreasonably announced that Song Liqing “belongs to him” when he first met in the academy when he was a child.
But Song Liqing is not angry, and outsiders don’t understand, in fact, Jun Qiyu’s nature is straightforward, and in Song Liqing’s eyes, she is still straightforward and cute.
He said gently: “His Royal Highness respects himself.”
“Self-respect?” Jun Qiyu’s arrogance remains the same as before. “Wherever you look, you can get whatever you want. What’s wrong with asking you for a piece of clothing? Don’t talk about clothing, it’s you…”
At this moment, the slave in front of Jun Qiyu smiled and whispered something to Jun Qiyu.
Jun Qiyu nodded and changed her mind: “Hu Nuer said that your red flower is beautiful, so you can give it to him to play with.”
Song Liqing’s heart sank. This ribbon and red flower was an honor bestowed by the emperor himself. To congratulate them on the gold list, how could they just give it to others as a toy?
Before he had time to refuse, Jun Qiyu had already unsheathed his sword neatly, the sword light was flying, and he picked up the red silk belt in an instant.
Jun Qiyu held the safflower in her hand and flaunted her might.
Song Liqing grasped the tail of the silk ribbon, and hurriedly said: “Your Highness, this is the first time I have entered the palace to face the Holy Spirit. Disrespect in front of the palace is a serious crime. Please return it temporarily…how about giving it to Your Highness later?”
“I don’t, Hu Nuer likes it, it’s your honor.” Jun Qiyu asked, “Are you going to let go?”
Song Liqing bit her lip and shook her head firmly.
When the stalemate persisted, the general Song Qing came on his horse and rescued Song Liqing: “The prince is used to doing whatever he wants, this is no longer the Xihai Mansion, but the imperial city, it is not appropriate to offend Xinke Tanhua in the street, it is the royal face that is being lost. ”
Song Qing is Jun Qiyu’s superior in the army, and also acts as a supervisor for the emperor. He taught him skills in the northwest and took care of him a lot. After hearing this, Jun Qiyu became domineering.
“Hmph.” Jun Qiyu turned her horse’s head, “Well, you asked for it… Hu Nuer, get down.”
Hu Nuer climbed off the horse obediently.
Jun Qiyu threw down the iron chains that tied the slaves, clamped her legs, and the sweaty horse immediately started galloping. Song Liqing was almost pulled off the horse, so he had to grab the horse’s bridle and run along with him.
When Jun Qiyu turned her head, she saw Song Liqing panicked and frightened, and her demeanor was completely lost, so she laughed.
“Hahaha, just as you are going to enter the palace, I will also enter the palace. Don’t break your leg, Tanhualang!”
Song Liqing remained silent, looking at the back of the horse and whip in front of him, and tolerated his misbehavior.
According to his father, when Jun Qiyu was one year old, he caught Zhou and hugged Song Liqing without letting go, gnawing up and down, maybe somewhere, the two of them had already established a fate.
Song Liqing was certain at this moment that his admiration for Jun Qiyu had never changed, it would only increase and not decrease.
But why Jun Qiyu teased him, he really couldn’t figure it out.
The person is green and red, the horse is pink and white, and the horse is red. Pulled by a red flower ribbon in the middle, they gallop into the majestic palace gate. The picture is beautiful and harmonious. It is a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse.
After entering the palace, Jun Qiyu was still running non-stop, rampaging in the palace. He is the crown prince of gold and jade, and no one dared to stop him.
Song Liqing’s embarrassment was seen by all the maids and eunuchs, and Jun Qiyu didn’t stop until he was approaching the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and handed the horse rope to the eunuch.
“The spirit horse who is so good at serving the Lord needs the freshest fodder. It is not used to the water and soil when it first came to the Central Plains.”
After Jun Qiyu gave the order, the eunuch respectfully accepted the order.
Song Liqing looked sideways, what Jun Qiyu recognized, even a slave or a horse cherished it very much.
Except myself.
Song Liqing withdrew her envious eyes, straightened her appearance, and prepared to face the saint.
“Song Liqing.”
Jun Qiyu suddenly called him, and strode closer, Song Liqing subconsciously stepped back half a step, Jun Qiyu was already a head taller than him.
“I won’t marry you. You’d better annul the engagement in public when you’re in court later.” Jun Qiyu said coldly.
Song Liqing went in without knowing.
Marriage… Engagement? !
