Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 30
Chapter 30 Continue to be my princess
“Good? What’s good?”
Jun Qiyu was in a different state of mind, so naturally she couldn’t understand Song Liqing’s beauty that would eventually pass away.
Jun Qiyu ordered: “Come here.”
Song Liqing froze for a moment, subconsciously becoming nervous.
Now that he was called by Jun Qiyu, his first reaction was actually fear.
Jun Qiyu is moody, Song Liqing can’t predict what he will do.
Jun Qiyu also saw his uneasy expression and raised her eyebrows.
“What are you afraid of? Will I eat people?”
Song Liqing obeyed, his feet touched the ground, his limbs were sore and weak, he stretched his body, and when he walked to Jun Qiyu’s side, there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
Jun Qiyu saw him standing aside, silent, she was really dissatisfied with Song Liqing’s temperament, it was too boring, she was crying and making noises before, but now she is bored like a gourd.
“Why are you standing there? Sit down.”
“Sit…?”
Song Liqing was a little flattered. Since he and Jun Qiyu got married, let alone sitting so close together, they had never even had the rare chance to walk side by side.
Jun Qiyu is always far away from him.
Jun Qiyu stuffed the Langhao brush into Song Liqing’s hand.
“You write it.”
Jun Qiyu stretched her long legs, picked up a bunch of grapes on the table, raised her head and ate them one by one without peeling the skins.
Song Liqing took a look at these papers, they were all presented to the emperor by the ministers in the court.
“Qiyu, this is a memorial, I can’t write it.” Song Liqing said.
Jun Qiyu tilted her head and said: “Father asked me to learn to review memorials. He said that before governing the world, we must first understand the affairs of the world. Didn’t you pass the policy theory in the imperial examination? It just came in handy.”
“But the emperor asked you to study, it’s not good to let others do it for you…”
Song Liqing was only halfway through when Jun Qiyu threw the grapes back into the fruit bowl in dissatisfaction.
“But what is it?! Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, how big a deal can it be? It’s nothing more than a flood in the Yellow River, and a plague of locusts in the south. What can those ministers do? They don’t want money, they say it’s disaster relief, and they all relieve them.” It’s in your waist pocket, anyway, you just look at it, as long as you can do it perfunctorily.”
Song Liqing never refused Jun Qiyu’s request.
It’s like forcing Song Liqing to write homework for him back then.
“Qiyu, our handwriting is different, the emperor can tell at a glance.”
“This is actually…”
Jun Qiyu was on a crooked path, her mind turned quickly.
“In this way, you write it on paper, and I will transcribe it later.”
After finishing speaking, Jun Qiyu had already put aside, and went to tease a little animal he raised that was not like a mouse, and a rabbit was not like a rabbit.
Song Liqing had no choice but to open the first memorial.
He thought about it, disobeying Jun Qiyu’s wishes, Jun Qiyu would only be more disgusted, but he could read it out, Jun Qiyu was fascinated by it, and had a good memory, in fact, it was the same as reading it in person.
So Song Liqing deliberately read aloud: “…the eleven Zhuangzi fishing ports along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were robbed by pirates, and the people were in dire straits. How can this be good? Qiyu…”
Jun Qiyu turned her head and said carelessly: “Isn’t there always been an army stationed along the coast? It’s their dereliction of duty that they didn’t protect the people. From General Pinghai down to the soldiers, they should be punished. Think of their past achievements and let them make meritorious deeds and kill a pirate. The reward is ten taels of silver, there is no upper limit, and under the heavy reward, I don’t believe they are still full like they are now.”
Song Liqing pursed his lips and smiled, and wrote down what he thought.
“What about the destroyed villages and farms?”
“What else can I do? The imperial court appeases me, allocate funds…”
“How much is allocated?” Song Liqing then asked.
“Well… ten thousand… no, eight thousand taels.”
“Is it only 8,000 taels? Could it be a little less? You said that there are still officials filling their pockets, and the money distributed to each household is not much.”
Jun Qiyu sat up and said: “You don’t understand, people always favor and fight against each other. If they give too much at a time, they are too comfortable, and they will develop a lazy habit. They all rely on the imperial court to allocate funds. They may rise up and start making trouble. What’s more, do you think that if you allocate more money, the magistrate will give them more money?”
Song Liqing couldn’t judge whether he was right or not for a while, but what Jun Qiyu said was not unreasonable, so he wrote it down according to his wishes.
“The next note says…”
Xiaodi outside the house looked inside.
His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess sat at the same table, one recited and the other answered, unexpectedly harmonious like never before.
The candlelight flickered, and the two figures matched each other so well.
Xiaodi was happy for Song Liqing, and even postponed the dinner on purpose, so she didn’t bother.
For several days, Jun Qiyu brought the notebooks to Song Liqing for review.
Jun Qiyu finally stopped staring at Song Liqing with a smile on his face.
“Father finally praised me today.”
Jun Qiyu said cheerfully as soon as she sat down.
Seeing him happy, Song Liqing smiled secretly.
After all, he is a teenager at heart, and he is usually a fried hair, and occasionally strokes it, which makes him smile.
“What are you praising you for?” Song Liqing asked him.
“Praise me for learning how to deal with political affairs. The memorials reviewed are decent. He didn’t change most of the papers and sent them back to the courtiers.” Jun Qiyu said with a grin, “He said, it’s just that the words are a little bit wrong. ,hehe.”
“Then practice your calligraphy more.” Song Liqing poured him a cup of tea.
“Practice ass, so what if you write flowers?” Jun Qiyu gulped down her tea, squinted at Song Liqing, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, you’ve always encouraged me to learn this and that.”
It turned out that he knew, but he didn’t reveal it.
Song Liqing nodded, feeling a sense of warmth spontaneously, the so-called happiness, probably so.
“I just hope…you will be a good emperor in the future.”
I hope you are well.
Although I can’t see that day.
“Hmph, I must be a good emperor.”
Jun Qiyu is naturally confident and proud, and never doubts her abilities.
Song Liqing read the memorial as usual, but his eyesight was actually not very good, and he could only read clearly by candlelight at close range.
Jun Qiyu looked at his profile illuminated by the warm yellow light, the lines were clean and clean, without any excess, his lips opened and closed softly, his voice was clear and gentle, Jun Qiyu felt numb all over, and gradually separated God couldn’t hear what Song Liqing was reading.
“…Qiyu, what do you think?” Song Liqing didn’t get a response, and turned to ask, “Qiyu?”
“ah?”
Jun Qiyu hastily withdrew her demented gaze.
“Ah…well, just do what you think.”
Jun Qiyu felt a little ashamed, he had never looked at a person so obsessively, even though there were many beauties in the Western Regions, he had never caught his eyes.
“Song Liqing, you are also responsible for getting the affirmation of the emperor. How about you just…”
In fact, Jun Qiyu’s words have been brewing for a long time, but she just doesn’t want to let go of her face and say it.
Song Liqing saw him faltering, as if it was difficult to speak.
“Huh?” Song Liqing waited for his next words.
“What I mean is…you just continue to be my princess and don’t have to divorce.”
After Jun Qiyu babbled this sentence, she looked awkward.
