Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 21
Chapter 21
“What?!”
Song Liqing thought he heard it wrong.
“I said, you abandon Jun Qiyu, and with me in the future, I will definitely not let you down.”
Song Liqing looked at his seriousness and thought it was absurd.
“Don’t make fun of me, how many times have you seen me? Do you know who I am?”
“Who? I don’t know, but I have plenty of time to get to know you for the rest of my life. It doesn’t matter whether you are the prince’s attendant or whoever you are, just now in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, after you said that, I have confirmed one thing.” Pei Xingxu said earnestly. Bai Bai said, “You, Song Liqing, are the one I’ve been looking for in my life.”
“Shut up!”
Song Liqing didn’t want to listen, and didn’t want him to continue talking.
“Please take back these words, there are many people in the palace, be careful not to pass it to His Highness’s ears, it will kill you!”
“I’m not afraid of Jun Qiyu.” Pei Xingxu said persistently, “I’m not robbing him… You are not favored as his prince’s attendant, are you? I think you are thinner than a few days ago, Jun Qiyu only loves the one who flaunts his head and poses, and it hurts me to see it.”
This hit Song Liqing’s sore spot.
“What do you know? He just lost his mind for a while and went astray. One day he will change his mind.”
Pei Xingxu didn’t know why he was so annoyed, and he tried his best to protect the person who hurt him.
“Jun Qiyu flaunted the rarity of Hu Nu’er and rejected the real treasure. It’s ridiculous! Do you know how I felt at the time? Jealousy, yes, I’m not jealous of his power and strong background , I’m only jealous that he can have you by his side…how can he make you so determined?”
“he……”
Song Liqing couldn’t tell, because his love had already been deeply rooted and he couldn’t extricate himself.
“My fate with him is not what you shallowly think.”
“Fate also has an end.” Pei Xingxu said stubbornly, “Our fate has just begun.”
Song Liqing felt unreasonable: “What fate do we have?!”
Pei Xingxu raised his wrist and smiled brightly.
“At least, we are considered…patients now?”
“…”
Song Liqing was at a loss for words.
“Then I have a pockmark, don’t I want to find people who have had pockmarks all over the world? Can I follow? Stop pestering me.”
Song Liqing got into his carriage and lowered the curtain to cover it tightly.
“Go! Go back to Qilin Mansion.” Song Liqing urged the groom.
“I am serious……”
Pei Xingxu watched helplessly as he walked away again.
At first, he thought that Song Liqing was like those young men who were prostitutes, and he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. But after getting along a few times for the first time, he discovered that there was a galaxy in his chest, and his inner beauty was indescribable.
It’s a pity that every time Song Liqing is afraid to avoid it.
Back at the banquet, Pei Xingxu’s heart followed suit. The food and drink were bland and tasteless. Song Liqing was like a fascination, attracting him to explore and speculate, and he was so pitiful. Just thinking about his cold appearance, lonely Eyes, Pei Xingxu was extremely worried…
He is entrusted to no one now, and he may be his salvation.
“Prince Loulan!”
“Um?”
When Pei Xingxu came back to his senses, the eunuch beside Emperor Xuan was looking at him.
“oh oh.”
He got up quickly, took the gift box held by the attendant, and delivered it to Emperor Xuan himself. The eunuch took it, opened the box, and showed Emperor Xuan.
Pei Xingxu clasped his hands at the right time and said: “The Loulan Kingdom presents a pair of ice jade pots, five thousand cattle and sheep each, and one thousand horses. Congratulations to the Jing Kingdom for its eternal prosperity and the longevity of His Majesty the Emperor.”
Emperor Xuan signaled, and the eunuch read out the gift list.
After Pei Xingxu thanked him, he didn’t understand what kind of return gift he had at all.
He was hesitating, should he open his mouth at this time…
“Is Prince Loulan still busy?” Emperor Xuan asked.
Finally, Pei Xingxu couldn’t hold back his impulse.
He knelt in the hall and made a big salute. According to his status, he didn’t have to kowtow to the emperor of Jingguo all the time.
“My nephew has one more request, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will fulfill it!”
“Huh? Tell me.”
Emperor Xuan didn’t express his opinion immediately, and he didn’t know what request he would make.
Pei Xingxu nodded sullenly and said, “I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince for someone.”
“People?” Emperor Xuan was puzzled, and asked with a smile, “Which official lady in Jingguo asked you to make such a grand request to me? I don’t have a princess to give you, ha ha.”
Pei Xingxu raised his head and said: “It’s not a prince or nobleman… What my nephew is looking for is only a seventh-rank official, and it is the prince who was in the palace just now, Song Liqing!”
As soon as this remark came out, all the officials of Jingguo in the palace gasped, and then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent.
Jun Qi stood up abruptly, glaring.
An old minister who was holding a wine glass and was about to drink it froze in the air. With old fingers, he dropped the wine glass to the ground with a bang.
The sound of wine glasses rolling down echoed in the hall.
“Bold!” The eunuch beside Emperor Xuan shouted.
Emperor Xuan raised his hand, and asked lightly: “I’ll ask you, what do you want Song Liqing to do?”
“Little nephew… I appreciate his talent, he is graceful, and my little nephew can be regarded as… falling in love at first sight.”
Pei Xingxu didn’t know why everyone was trembling, kept silent, and looked shocked, while Jun Qiyu’s face was full of frost.
Pei Xingxu said again: “I know he is the prince’s attendant, an official appointed by the court, so I dare not neglect, my nephew is willing to offer a great gift, please His Majesty the emperor bestow this good fate, I will look forward to the future in Loulan, this is our and Dajing is determined to marry Qin and Jin forever!”
The hall was eerily quiet.
Wan Guoyan snatched the princess in front of the prince, I am afraid that this is really unprecedented, this Pei Xingxu is almost emboldened…
In the end, it was Emperor Xuan who was experienced, he did not get angry, but half-jokingly resolved the embarrassment: “When you first came to Jingguo, you didn’t know that Liqing had been promised by me and married. You, I’m afraid you came a step late.”
“What? Already married?” Pei Xingxu couldn’t believe it.
The chief eunuch said sharply, “Prince Loulan, the crown prince’s attendant Song Liqing is the crown prince’s concubine of His Royal Highness, and the Holy Majesty personally bestowed the marriage.”
“The Crown Princess?!”
Pei Xingxu seemed to be struck by thunder, unable to get out for a long time.
“Prince Princess…he is Jun Qiyu’s Crown Princess…why…why no one told me?”
He stood in the hall, as if he had become a joke, his whole body was numb, his fingers trembled unconsciously, and his heart felt like a knife was twisted.
So… Song Liqing could never belong to him?
How did he know that although Song Liqing was granted a marriage by the emperor, he was not welcomed by the crown prince Jun Qiyu. Jun Qiyu has resisted since the beginning, so the officials and servants have kept the crown princess secret, especially in front of the crown prince. , so as not to touch the bad luck of Jun Qiyu, the overlord.
Pei Xingxu thought that with his own identity, he could save Song Liqing from the fire and water.
He also didn’t expect that his impulsiveness would almost bring disaster to Song Liqing.
