Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 13
Chapter 13 Prince Loulan
The palace gate was about to close, Song Liqing withdrew his long-awaited gaze, turned around and was about to leave, but bumped into someone else, and the man let out an ouch, and a piece of tooth wat fell to the ground.
During the collision, Song Liqing was scratched by Yahu on the back of his hand.
“Feel sorry.”
Song Liqing apologized with his head down, then picked up the Yahu and returned it with both hands.
“What kind of dog doesn’t have eyes?! Fortunately, it’s not in front of the palace, otherwise you will be punished for disrespect!”
The man cursed angrily, got up from the ground, picked up the black gauze cap and put it on.
Song Liqing took a closer look and realized that he was two first-class Jinshi in the same class as him. The number one scholar was a teenager older than Song Liqing.
“Oh… I don’t know who doesn’t have long eyes. It turns out to be Tanhualang.”
Zhuangyuan Lang saw that it was Song Liqing, his anger subsided a little, and he smiled, but there was less smile and more sarcasm.
“Brother.” No. 2 corrected him, “She is already the crown princess, she has already flown up a branch and turned into a phoenix, and she is so different from the two of us!”
“Oh yes.” The number one scholar cupped his hands pretentiously, “Greetings to the Crown Princess.”
“Hello, my lords.”
Song Liqing returned the salute in a dignified manner, these two were conferred five ranks by the emperor, they were upstarts in the court, they acted high-profile, and it was normal to look down on themselves.
Song Liqing didn’t intend to compare with them, but said: “Your Excellency is busy with court affairs, so I won’t waste your time.”
“Hey!” The number one scholar stopped him and said, “Tanhualang… oh no, the crown princess, we have a relationship in the same imperial list, we haven’t seen you for a few days and still want to catch up with you, is it possible that you are the crown prince?” Once the concubine soars into the sky, will she look down on mere fifth-rank officials like us?”
“Now you are precious and precious, but why are you alienated from us…” The second place also added fuel.
Song Liqing was not familiar with these two people at all, except for a one-time relationship on the day of his appointment, he had never dealt with them again.
“I see that the two of you are full of happiness. I think the new job is handy. Then I wish you both smooth sailing in the future and a smooth career in the official world.”
Song Liqing congratulated casually.
In the first half of his life, he was obsessed with books, and he was not good at both sides and flattering words.
The number one scholar chuckled, and said with concern on his face: “What’s wrong with the Crown Princess? How can you describe her as so haggard?”
Song Liqing forced a smile: “It’s just that I feel the wind and cold occasionally, Mr. Lao will take care of you.”
The second place in the list winked at the number one scholar, and said: “Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. How can it be so easy to serve the crown prince?”
“Tsk.” The number one scholar pretended to be emotional, “On the day of the title of the gold list, Tan Hualang, who is both talented and beautiful, was in the limelight. That scenery overwhelmed the two of us. It’s been three days since I left… It’s really true.” When you look at it with admiration, haha…haha!”
The number one scholar bowed his hands to the sky again, and said with a noble face: “I have been studying hard for twenty years, and I will be awarded an official by the heavenly family. In the future, I will definitely repay the emperor with a grass title.”
The second place patted Song Liqing on the shoulder: “Don’t worry about the crown princess, as long as you serve the prince well, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!”
Song Liqing knew that the reason they left him was simply to ridicule him, to show their superiority as a literati.
“In addition to being the crown prince’s concubine, I am also the prince’s attendant. We are both officials in the court. The two adults are familiar with the books of sages and sages. They must not be the ones who praise the high and trample the low.”
These words were neither humble nor overbearing, neither to overwhelm others with their status, nor to underestimate themselves, the two champions at the same time were stunned, unable to answer.
“Yes yes yes.” The number one scholar nodded first and said yes, “In the future, I will ask the Crown Princess to give you some good words in front of the crown prince. The two of you are all relying on you.”
Although there was no sincerity, as long as they stopped pestering and ridiculing, Song Liqing would be satisfied.
“The gates of the palace are about to be closed, won’t your lords go in?” (Laozi Yaoyao)
There was a voice next to him, his voice was clear and clear, but his articulation was obscure.
Song Liqing turned his head and saw a young man who was dressed strangely.
This person is about a few years older than himself, but his chin is full of beard greens, his hair is thick, his eyebrows are like black ink, his eyelashes are curly, his pupils are emerald green in the sun, his nose is high and his mouth is thin. Handsome with amorous style, with deep and sharp features, this appearance… is somewhat similar to Hu Nuer.
Look at him, although he is wearing a white robe worn by Han people, but there is a turquoise gem on his belt, and he wears a white crown with his hair in a bun. The Central Plains will never wear white on his head for no reason. In the center of the crown is a big Rubies should be worth a lot.
Song Liqing guessed that he was a barbarian, but seeing how he walked and stood, he was very personable, and he was not as barbaric as a barbarian at all.
The number one scholar saluted first, this time he was not hypocritical, his back was bent like a cooked shrimp.
“I met Prince Loulan.”
The second place also follows the gourd painting.
“Do you recognize me? I haven’t gone to your palace to meet His Majesty yet.”
“The person who was ordered to receive Prince Loulan the day before yesterday was supposed to be Xiaguan, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, but Xiaguan just took over, so the Minister of the Ministry of Rites took care of him.”
The number one scholar smiled flatteringly and made no effort to hide his good intentions.
“oh!”
Prince Loulan understood the situation clearly, and he and No. 2 also nodded, and moved their eyes to the silent Song Liqing.
“Then this is…”
“This is the prince…” Zhuangyuan took the initiative to introduce.
“The prince waits to read.”
Song Liqing grabbed the words and only nodded slightly.
He preferred to introduce himself that way.
“The prince’s attendant… is the prince’s book boy?” Prince Loulan laughed, “Do you, Prince Jingguo, need a…beauty to accompany you when you study?”
Song Liqing didn’t like being called a “beauty” by others, and was even disgusted.
The champion whispered something in Prince Loulan’s ear.
Prince Loulan looked at Song Liqing from admiration to disappointment, and became contemptuous.
“I know you people from the Central Plains have a story about red sleeves adding fragrance, but… a majestic man, but he does things to please the Lord by relying on his appearance. Being a man’s pamper is really not worthy of admiration.”
Subtle and straightforward.
In fact, he was right. Serving schoolchildren has always been recorded as serving the master’s private affairs, and literati and inkmen regard it as romantic.
Song Liqing didn’t bother to explain to him, a foreigner, this person was probably just a nodding acquaintance.
“Let’s go, it’s almost time, please invite Prince Loulan first.”
The champion and the second place were placed on both sides, allowing Prince Loulan to go first.
“A few adults, please.”
Several people walked towards the palace gate politely, Song Liqing closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
Prince Loulan took two steps, but stopped and turned around.
“Isn’t Master Shidu with us?”
The number one scholar immediately explained: “The rank of the prince’s servant is not yet qualified to go to the early court.”
“I see.” Prince Loulan paused, and said loudly, “My lord, if you have time, you should go to see a doctor.”
“Thank you for your concern.” Song Liqing simply replied, “The wind and cold will heal itself in a few days.”
How can everyone see his sick face? Song Liqing obviously used powder to cover up the scars and paleness.
“I don’t mean wind chill.”
Prince Loulan pointed to the back of Song Liqing’s hand. Song Liqing looked down and saw that he had been scratched just now, which was neither serious nor severe, but now blood was oozing out.
Song Liqing felt strange, the tooth wat was not sharp, at most it scratched a little bit of skin, why was there bleeding, and there was no sign of hemostasis and coagulation? They all dyed their sleeves red.
Just as he was about to ask, Prince Loulan walked away with a smile on his face.
