An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 119: dowry

Views:

"Wangsun, Wangsun, please run slowly!" The elderly servant girl hurriedly chased a pink-carved and jade-carved child, for fear that he would fall.

The child was only three years old, at the age of a toddler. He was running fast on short legs, which made people tremble with fear.

The little boy sprinted while shaking the rattle, suddenly bumped into someone's arms, let go of his hand, and the rattle fell to the ground.

The maid was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the purple hem, she knelt down in fright without even raising her head: "My maid, see Your Majesty!"

Wei Lian lowered his head and stared at Xiao Budian, who bumped into his arms, and Xiao Budian also raised his head, looking at him with Shui Lingling's eyes, not at all afraid.

The servant girl knelt down on the ground, and after a long while, she said cautiously, "Your Majesty, Wang Sun is young and ignorant. He bumped into you, Your Majesty will... forgive him."

Who knew that this new king came back from Qin as a pledge? Having abandoned his son for the state of Chu, it would be good if he didn't hate his relatives, let alone family affection. As soon as King Chu Xi came back, he imprisoned the previous king, abolished the former prince, and put his concubine into the cold palace. How much love could he have for a grandson who had never met before

Wei Lian and Xiaobudian looked at each other for a moment, but neither of them spoke.

After a while, Xiaobu nodded, hugged Wei Lian's leg and cried, "Wow!"

The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Wangsun, don't cry!" Be careful, His Majesty cut your tongue because he was too loud!

But how can the three-year-old child understand this, and still cry hard.

When Wei Lian saw the trembling look of the servant girl, he didn't realize it was funny. He thought that when he first saw Ji Yue, he knelt down so cautiously, listening to the man's cold words that he wanted to cut his tongue.

At that time, he thought that the King of Qin was really cruel.

...that's a big joke.

With supreme power in his hands, he has an aura that is not angry and mighty. Even if you don't do anything, you will be guessed by others. The so-called companion of the king is like a companion of a tiger, but sometimes outsiders regard him as a fierce tiger.

Wei Lian actually understood Ji Yue's feelings somewhat.

"Is it so scary?"

The maid became more and more terrified: "Your Majesty is majestic..."

"Okay." Wei Lian didn't scare her, "I'm not someone who cares about life, how can I care about the same child."

He is different from Wei Bang.

The maid was stunned for a moment, but with hindsight, she found that the voice of the new king was extremely pleasant, as clear as the ice and snow on the pine mountain melted.

Lingling is like a gentleman.

Wei Lian crouched down, picked up the rattle on the ground and stuffed it back into his hand.

Little Budian got a rattle, and the crying stopped abruptly, showing a childlike smile.

Wei Lian became more playful and pulled out the rattle again.

The rattle left his hand, Xiao Budian was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and cried again: "Wow—"

Wei Lian stuffed the rattle back.

The little boy stopped crying and smiled.

Pull back again.

Tiny: "Wow—"

Plug it back.

The little one burst into laughter again.

out.

"Wow—" Little Dot cried again.

It's like flipping a switch, as long as the rattle is pulled out, the little one will cry, and then put it back in, and instantly smile again. Wei Lian thought it was quite interesting, so many back and forth, never tired of it.

The servant girl lying on the ground: "..."

She still didn't dare to look up, she could only see the delicate and meticulous chin of the new king, but she could still see how she was playing with Wang Sun...

Wang Sun is only three years old this year, is it possible that His Majesty is only three years old...

Seeing that His Majesty was addicted to playing, the personal eunuch behind Wei Lian coughed lightly, reminding him to pay attention to his manners.

Wei folded his hands for a while, realizing that he was a little naive.

It must have been infected by Ji's three-year-old.

He retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, and returned the rattle to Little Bit.

Unfortunately it's too late. After being toyed with many times, Xiaodian finally got angry, closed his eyes and started crying, refusing to pick up the rattle.

Wei Lian picked him up, but the little guy was still crying and beating him on the shoulder.

Wei Lian smiled: "If you hit again, Gu will throw you down."

"Ugh..." Little Budian was instantly cowardly like a quail.

It seems to understand. Pretty smart.

After Xiaobudian calmed down, Wei Lianfang asked, "Which grandson is he?"

Wang Sun is the son of the son. The King of Chu had ten sons, not a few of whom got married and established a career, and there were a lot of grandsons, so I don't know which one is the little one.

Just as the maid was about to answer, Wei Lian said again, "Get up and talk."

"... No." The maid stood up cautiously, and inadvertently saw the Majesty's face, such as thrush eyes and a high nose bridge, against the two pink lips, and she was shocked at a glance.

Her head was dizzy, and she hurriedly lowered her head: "It's the second son's direct son, the single name is Lin."

"Which Lin?"

"Gan Lin's Lin."

"It's a good moral." Wei Lian nodded, "After a long drought, the rain comes."

The maid dared not answer.

"It is the son of the son of the son Su." Wei Lian asked again, "Why did you appear in the palace?"

After the son gets married, he will give him a mansion and move out of the palace to live there. Wives, concubines and children should all be in the mansion, not in the palace.

After Wei Lian ascended the throne, he focused on cleaning up a few brothers who had offended him too much, leaving the rest alone. The rest also obediently hid in the house, for fear that the new king would set fire to his own head.

Wei Su is one of them. He and Wei Lian didn't have a deep relationship, and they never helped or bullied him when they were young. Although they were brothers, they were like strangers.

The maid replied in a low voice, "When the concubine and concubine gave birth to him, he had a difficult labor. As soon as the king and grandson were born, they were sent to the palace and raised by Mrs. Du since childhood."

Mrs. Du is the biological mother of Gongzi Su. The concubine was pointed to the son by Mrs. Du herself, and the husband and wife had no emotional foundation. Young Master Su has a beloved concubine and a concubine, and doesn't pay much attention to his descended grandson. Mrs. Du was afraid that her grandson without her biological mother would be raised by the concubine if she stayed in the mansion, so she was brought into the palace to raise her.

Young Master Su and the concubine Shuzi's family of three are happy, and they rarely think of this son-in-law.

In short, a little pity no one wants but a grandmother.

Wei Lian lowered his head to look at the little one. Such a small group of milk dolls was his nephew.

Of course, there were so many nephews of Wei Lian that he couldn't even recognize them. It just so happened that this bump into his arms today was also a fate.

Wei Lian didn't play with Xiao Budian for a long time, and put him down after a while.

He has more important things to deal with.

Wei Lian plans to leave for Qin tomorrow, leaving the Chu State to be handed over to Qiao Hongfei for the time being. Before setting off, he had to take a safe and sound plan, so that no one else would make a move once he left Chu.

After the last visit to Hua Ye Palace, General Zhao also compromised, but only proposed that Wang Weilian would allow him to return home after the situation stabilized.

The generals of Chu will never serve the king of Qin.

This is his bottom line.

Wei Lian agreed.

On the third day of the eleventh month, King Chu Xi took off his purple dragon robe, put on a white coat, and rode on a red-maned horse to leave overnight.

The long night was endless, but the white robe was like the dawn breaking away from the dark clouds. Just like Ji Yue's fresh clothes and angry horses disappeared in the sunset, she managed everything and went to Qingping alone.

He was going to find his King Qin Chang.

Xi means bathing in the sun, and Chang means the day is bright. They are a natural pair.

I roam in the city that never sleeps that you gave me, and I will give you an empire where the sun never sets.

On November 21st, the Qin army camp.

The sound of the hoofs of "嘚嘚" raised the dust, causing the soldiers who were resting and rectifying to be alert and grab their weapons.

Who is so bold and dare to trespass on the stronghold of the military camp

The soldier pressed the sword halfway out of the scabbard, and the sharp-eyed soldier saw the young man in white on the horse clearly, and pressed the soldier's sword back again: "It's King Chu Xi."

The son returned to Chu, first registered the crown prince, and then forced the palace to become king. Naturally, such a big disturbance could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of all countries.

Everyone thought that Young Master Lian was out of the control of the King of Qin and was going to be the enemy of the King of Qin. Goodbye is already a relative position, they are soldiers of the Qin state, and they should be killed if they see it.

But His Majesty King Qin only issued an order that if King Chu Xi came back, he should not be moved.

Soldiers have already entered the account to report to the King of Qin. Ji Yue had not yet taken off his uniform, and was waiting in front of the tent in armor, his gorgeous eyebrows and eyes were stained fiercely by the killings for days, like a general.

He stood there and looked at Wei Lian's increasingly clear figure not far away, his phoenix eyes were clear.

The soldiers voluntarily gave way.

The beloved returned to his hometown on horseback, but he was still a young man when he returned.

When Wei Lian was still some distance away from Ji Yue, he reined in the reins and turned over and dismounted. In a matter of seconds, the young man who was full of dust flew over and threw himself into the arms of the general.

Ji Yue gently caught him.

"Fortunately, I caught up." Wei Lian complained in a low voice, "It's not worth my hurry, I almost died of exhaustion on the way."

He stuffed two things into Ji Yue's palm, intertwined his fingers with them, raised his eyes and said, "Ji Yue, the lives of the three generals of Yan Lu and the battle at Yanguanling are my birthday present for you."

"If you still think the weight is not enough, I will give you another me."

"As for the military talisman and jade seal of Chu State..." He lowered his eyes slightly, "It will be used as my dowry."

He can't be as red as a princess, but fortunately he can still play a mountain and river to marry.

Ji Yue lowered his eyes and looked at the young man's incomparable face.

He never said a word from beginning to end.

Wei Lian was startled, looking at Ji Yue's back with some distress.

Isn't Ji Yue angry

He returned to Chu State alone to plan this matter, and indeed never discussed it with Ji Yue. They don't like the other party taking their own risks and hiding it from the other party, but they are always doing such things.

How to coax this anger? Wei Lian was a little helpless, he had already given away all his belongings.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ji Yue came back.

Ji Yue came up and stuffed those two things back into his hands.

When I touched the shape, it was still a jade seal and a tiger talisman.

Wei Lian asked, "What should I do?"

"Is there any reason for me not to accept your dowry?" Ji Yue said slowly, "What you hold in your hand are the military talisman and jade seal of our Qin state."

"Take it." Ji Yue raised his eyes, "I gave you the dowry."

Wei Lian paused, then smiled: "Aren't you mad at me?"

"What are you angry about? Someone who ran back to Chu without saying a word and didn't tell me, and now you dare to run back without defense, it's just nonsense." Ji Yue looked at him, "I'm not afraid that Qin Jun will treat you as an enemy. shot directly."

"I believe you won't hurt me, that's why you dare to make such a fool of yourself." Wei Lian had no fear, "Just as I ran back to Chu without saying a word, don't you believe that I never betrayed?"

Ji Yue snorted coldly, "Only a fool suspects that you will betray you."

Wei Lian couldn't help laughing: "That's not to blame?"

"Who said not to blame?" Ji Yue clenched his wrist and said seriously, "His Majesty the King of Chu entered the enemy camp alone and threw himself into the trap. How should I interrogate you?"

Wei Lian cooperated: "I don't know, dare to ask how the Qin State treats its captives?"

"Others don't know." Ji Yue finally had a smile in his eyes, "But a beauty like His Majesty the King of Chu should be sent to the tent and serve the lonely king."

The two hit it off, and Ji Yue pulled Wei Lian into the tent.

Onlookers: "..."

Did they eat a piece of unparalleled dog food

With a stroke of his pen, Li Yushi recorded this piece of history that has been passed down through the ages.

On November 21, the thirteenth year of King Qin Chang, the king's birthday.

King Xi of Chu entered the Qin camp alone, dismounted and said, "The three generals of Yan and Lu will take the head and join the battle of Yanguanling to congratulate you on your birthday."

Then he put the two things in His Majesty's palm: "If you think the weight is not enough, I will also give it to you. This is the military seal of the Chu State, and it will be used as a dowry."

Wang said nothing, turned around and entered the tent, and after a while, he brought two things to King Xi of Chu.

King Xi of Chu asked, "What do you want to do for me?"

"No, your dowry, why should you not accept it?" Wang replied, "This is the imperial seal of a soldier of the Qin state, which is a dowry gift for the solitary to marry you."

Later historians called this "two kings changing the world", which opened the prelude to an era.

There is also a story of literati and writers who love the wind and the moon, and this is called "the marriage of the prosperous age".

Some people say that it is not only the prelude of an era, but also the beginning of a love.
