Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 72
Chapter 72 Hu Nuer’s Substitute?
A year and a half later, the Northwest has entered a new summer.
This year’s summer came very early, the snow-capped mountains had just melted, and the meadows grew wildly. It seemed that the last winter was too cold, so God gave special rewards.
Jun Qiyu never returned to the Jingguo capital.
Emperor Xuan, who was still in his prime, allowed him to open a new residence in the northwest and asked him to manage the affairs of the northwest.
The Northwest Army was dispatched to various places, and the war subsided. Regardless of whether they were Han people or foreigners, they lived and worked in peace and harmony. Jun Qiyu issued a decree that should benefit all people and reopened trade routes. The Northwest was thriving like a new vassal state.
“His Royal Highness, Mr. Xu, the prefect of Qinghai Prefecture, asks to see you.”
When the subordinates reported, Jun Qiyu raised his head from the green desk.
“Here he is again.”
Jun Qiyu said lightly, his eyes were calm, his childishness had long been stripped away, and his mood was calm and restrained.
“Since you’re here, let Master Xu come in and have a seat.”
Prefect Xu is also a frequent visitor to Qilin Mansion in Northwest China. He has been here five or six times in the past three months.
Jun Qiyu knew that he was working for Emperor Xuan, and invited him to take a seat without showing the slightest bit of impatience.
“Master Xu, who brought me this time?”
Jun Qiyu took the initiative to ask him, with a smile on his face.
Xu Zhifu rubbed his nose in embarrassment: “I don’t want to bother His Highness, it’s really… really…”
“It’s really the father who is urging me so hard, worried that I will die alone forever?”
“Hehe, hehe…” Prefect Xu smiled apologetically, “It’s good that His Highness knows, you’ve turned twenty this year, right?”
“Yes.” Jun Qiyu nodded and said with a smile, “I’m not old enough to worry about being alone.”
“Your temperament city… looks like more than twenty. The poor and barren northwest, where you can live and work in peace and contentment, is all thanks to your hard work, and they all praise you for being better than blue.”
Jun Qiyu remained silent.
In fact, he has no credit for it. The decrees he promulgated were all words that Song Liqing had told him many times before, or had written on paper.
Jun Qiyu is just implementing it.
Only now did Jun Qiyu know that Song Liqing had worked so hard to be a good king for him, without any selfishness.
Jun Qiyu didn’t say it because he didn’t dare to mention the name.
Never mention it.
Xu Zhifu brought the topic back and said: “Alas… poor parents in the world, since you left Beijing, you have neither remarried, nor concubine, men and women are not close, the emperor can not worry, you always have They can feel at ease when there is someone they care about.”
“Bring people up.”
Jun Qiyu took the initiative to order, but Xu Zhifu’s words of persuasion were silenced.
A young girl of the Hu nationality walked into the hall, with blue eyes and brown hair, and a slender figure. he looked a bit like Hu Nuer, but his skin was white, less wild and hot, and more charming and soft.
Jun Qiyu smiled helplessly, and Xu Zhifu racked his brains.
Even such a person was sent over.
This is… Hu Nuer’s substitute?
A year and a half ago, Jun Qiyu returned to Jingguo, and ordered Hu Nuer to be released from the prison, and sent an imperial doctor to treat him, but Hu Nuer was tortured every day in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He couldn’t be rescued, and he lost his life in a few days.
“I broke my promise.”
At that time, Jun Qiyu looked at Hu Nuer’s body and silently read this sentence.
Everyone thought that Jun Qiyu would forgive Hu Nuer for his crime of killing the king because he had no more love for Hu Nuer.
Otherwise, how could he feel so sorry after Hu Nuer’s death?
Moreover, he resumed his status as the prince of Yili, and ordered his body to be sent to his hometown in the Western Regions, where he was buried under the vassal rule.
Gradually, everyone in the world thinks that Jun Qiyu loves Hu Nuer after all.
Because Jun Qiyu never mentioned a single word about the inexplicably missing crown princess.
“Master Lao Xu is bothering you.”
“Don’t bother, don’t bother, as long as His Highness likes it.” Xu Zhifu tentatively said, “Then…keep his here?”
“Everyone is here, I will return it, and you will bring new ones next time.” Jun Qiyu paused and said, “Then you can pass a message to my father for me, just say that I am very satisfied, so that he can rest assured .”
“Uh uh, good.”
Before Xu Zhifu resigned, he whispered a few words to this Hu girl.
“Your Highness has a deep love for that person, and you are five points alike to him. If you can follow my instructions and have this blessing to capture His Highness’s heart, you will have endless glory and wealth in the future!”
Prefect Xu also thought like everyone else.
He is thoughtful, and every time the youngsters who are like Song Liqing are sent out, Jun Qiyu directly rejects them on the spot, while those like Hu Nuer, His Highness always tacitly agrees to stay in the Qilin Mansion, even though he was sent out again in the end. .
But this is enough to show that Hu Nuer is what His Highness prefers.
Prefect Xu thought he was the clearest.
Jun Qiyu was perfunctory, and continued to focus on the notebook in his hand, writing and drawing at the desk.
The Hu girl stood in the hall for a long time, until his feet ached.
he twisted his legs, and the gems on his clothes touched each other, making a small sound.
Jun Qiyu was disturbed, only to find that the Hu girl was still standing in the hall.
“Oh, you are still…Xiaodi.” Jun Qiyu called out, and when someone came in, he ordered, “Take this girl to the mansion, and choose a room he likes to live in.”
Xiao Di took the lead.
“Girl, come with me.”
The Hu girl still refused to leave and looked at Jun Qiyu.
“His Royal Highness hasn’t asked my name yet.”
“Oh.” Jun Qiyu didn’t lift his head, “Then what’s your name?”
“Hu Yue’er.”
Sure enough, Hu Yue’er saw Jun Qiyu stop writing.
This was what Xu Zhifu asked his to change, in order to get closer to that Hu Nuer.
“Hu Yue’er?”
Jun Qiyu raised the corner of his mouth, feeling a little ridiculous.
But he didn’t take it to heart, so let them go.
Most likely, those people in Xu Zhifu came up with some bad idea.
Jun Qiyu’s gentle smile made the Hu girl’s cheeks blush.
So when he walked out of the hall, he turned his head and lingered frequently, unwilling to take his eyes off Jun Qiyu.
This mansion is a copy of the Qilin mansion in the capital, and Xiao Di is naturally used to living there, as if he were in his own home, so he took Hu Yueer to the backyard and introduced it to Hu Yueer.
“Over there is the study room. Your Highness is usually there. Under normal circumstances, he doesn’t allow people to disturb you. Let’s not touch his bad luck. This road leads to the back garden. You can go for a walk, but don’t get lost. You can choose any of these yards at will…”
Hu Yue’er didn’t care about where he lived at all, but was thinking about other things
“I thought the prince of Jingguo would be an arrogant and domineering young man, or a pampered idiot, but I didn’t expect to be so handsome and majestic, talking and laughing… so gentle and kind.”
Hu Yueer’s eyes showed admiration.
Xiao Di suddenly turned around.
“gentle?”
he couldn’t believe that someone actually commented on Jun Qiyu like that.
“Isn’t it? Look at him, he’s not very old, but he’s calm, he speaks in a soft voice, and he’s very gentle to me.”
Xiaodi blurted out: “He’s not gentle, he’s more brutal than Evil Shao, he’s more cruel than Evil, it’s just that someone took his temper…”
Having said that, Xiaodi shut up.
Fortunately, Jun Qiyu was not there, so he didn’t hear it.
Hu Yue’er was immersed in his own impression and didn’t take it seriously.
“Perhaps His Highness is gentle to those he likes, and cruel to those he doesn’t like.”
Hu Yue’er raised his chin and stopped in front of a yard. he stretched his neck and poked inside. This yard is the best in the mansion, spacious and bright. Although the furnishings inside can’t be seen, the flowers and plants are well trimmed. The floors and walls are clean.
“If you say gentle, be gentle.”
Xiaodi was too lazy to argue with his.
Hu Yue’er pointed to the yard and said, “I want to live in this room.”
“This room? This is not acceptable.” Xiaodi rejected his, “This is the main courtyard.”
“What’s wrong with the main courtyard? Doesn’t Your Highness live here? This courtyard is so nice, you can arrange any room next to His Highness’s room for me, so that I can be closer to him and serve him at ordinary times.”
Hu Yue’er has already imagined it for herself.
Xiaodi’s face twitched twice.
“His Highness himself doesn’t live here, and he only sets foot here for two or three days throughout the year.”
Xiaodi knew that Jun Qiyu would only go in once on their wedding day, Song Liqing’s birthday, and the occasional good night festival, and once in it would last a whole day.
“Huh? Why?”
Hu Yue’er was puzzled.
“Because it’s for others.”
Xiao Di said directly.
This was prepared by Jun Qiyu for Song Liqing. He was looking forward to his return one day, so Xiaodi cleaned it up at any time. The things inside were placed as before, even the tea on the table. Freshly brewed every day.
“other people?”
When Hu Yue’er heard these two words, his face became serious. Who else deserves to enjoy such a good place?
Is there anyone else that Prince Jingguo likes more than his?
Xiaodi has taken the trouble, refused and said: “Anyway, if you can’t live, you can’t live. You can choose another place.”
“No, I want to live in this courtyard.”
As Hu Yue’er said, he had already broken in.
To his, it was just a yard, no matter how good it was, it was for people to live in. Why did he give it up to that “other”?
he came to take the place in Jun Qiyu’s heart.
Don’t be inferior to anyone else.
“Hey! You stop!”
Seeing that Hu Yue’er was about to rush in, Xiaodi quickly stopped his.
“No one is allowed to set foot in this yard!”
Not to be outdone, Hu Yue’er said, “Your Highness asked me to choose at will, that is to say, in this mansion, I can live wherever I want, get out of the way.”
“no!”
Not to mention Jun Qiyu’s order, even Xiaodi himself would never let Hu Yueer run in here and mess around.
This is also what he thinks about Song Liqing.
Hu Yue’er was already sullen after being obstructed in every possible way.
With a snap, he slapped Xiao Di with his hands.
“Smelly girl, you, a low-level servant, dare to point fingers at me?!”
