An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 14: Dan Qing

Views:

As the King of Qin, Ji Yue has heard countless praises. Or wish him a long life, or praise him for eternity. Ji Yue never cares about true feelings and false compliments, compliments and hypocrisy.

He never thought that one day, he would be struck by a simple word.

- People are the most evil, and you don't take the same, why should I be afraid of it

King Qin never wanted praise.

is fearless.

This is what he's always wanted but couldn't ask for.

Ji Yue looked at Wei Lian with an unpredictable expression. The young man in white robes was elegant and let him look at it.

After a long while, Ji Yuefang said in a slow voice: "It is extremely vicious and vicious. The queen mother helps the solitary go up and destroys the whole family, which is ungrateful. The solitary is ungrateful to open up the frontier and expand the soil. It is despicable and filthy to be alone in order to achieve the goal by any means.”

He chuckled lightly: "What Wei Lang said is the worst in the world, and everything is complete. Everyone in the world is afraid of being alone, how can you dare to say that being alone is not accounted for?"

Wei Lian answered without hesitation: "The palace servants are guilty of bad words, and they should be killed. The queen mother controls the government without the king's law, and it should be punished. The six kingdoms are surrounded by wolves, and it is time to fight. , it should be done."

"What Your Majesty does is the way of the king. People in the world demand the king by the standard of a saint, but they don't know that in a chaotic world, they will be devoured by wolves and devoured by wolves. If you have no choice, the world will not understand.”

His answer was fluent, almost without hesitation. Ji Yue was surprised for a moment, and said softly, "But you understand."

Ji Yue's eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance, and he smiled slightly: "Wei Lian, I really hate seeing you so late."

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"It's time to let those ministers see what a real beauty is. If you are alone enough to convince them, how can those vulgar fans be as good as you. Go to court painters alone... No, how can casual painters describe your character?" Ji Yue never hides his favor for the person he likes. He quickly walked to the desk and laid out the pen and paper, "I will make a picture for you alone."

"Your Majesty wants to paint a portrait for your minister?"

"That's natural."

"Kechen heard that His Majesty never paints portraits." Wei Lian's eyes flickered.

King Qin's reputation as a tyrant does not mean that he does not understand elegance. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is a compulsory course for every nobleman.

The king of Qin was very intelligent since he was a child, and he was very talented in Danqing. It was also because of that painting that the late king noticed this unknown child and paid attention to him.

King Qin's painting skills are superb, freehand landscapes, flowers, birds, insects and fish are all consummate.

But as we all know, the King of Qin never painted portraits.

It is rumored that he is not good at this way, but it is only a rumor after all.

"No one is worthy of that." Ji Yue wrote and moved smoothly, "It has always been difficult to paint the skin, and the beauty is not in the skin. Gu is not interested in painting human skin, only a beauty like Wei Lang who has both skin and bone is worthy of Gu. Write down."

This is already a very high compliment.

Wei Lian stood in front of the window until Ji Yue stopped writing and asked, "Have you finished the painting?"

"Okay." Ji Yue put down the brush, "Come and have a look."

Wei Lian came over, glanced at it, and secretly thought in his heart, good skill.

He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Danqing is not bad at all. At a glance, you can see that where King Qin is not good at portraits, he is clearly the best at it.

Wei Lian was standing in front of the window, but the King of Qin painted him in the snow, and behind him was a heavy palace tower covered with white snow on black tiles. He stood under a red plum tree, embraced the snow-white fox fur, raised his eyes and chuckled, his features expressive.

"It's really vivid." Wei Lian looked at it for a long time, his eyebrows curved.

"Weirang might as well write another word." Ji Yue said.

Wei Lian pondered for a while, held up the wolf's hair, and inscribed the word "country" on the rice paper.

The strokes of the pen are restrained, implying sparseness and madness.

The handwriting is beautiful, just like the person, and there is a frivolous arrogance hidden under the warm jade.

Ji Yue sighed in admiration at first, but it was a little boring. He expected that Wei Lian's question would be auspicious words such as "Guotai and Min'an".

Unexpectedly, once again.

Wei Lian wrote eight words.

Unparalleled elegance, unparalleled national scholars.

Ji Yue's eyes twitched.

After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with these eight words, and they were very suitable for Weilian. But when I think of these eight words, Wei Lian wrote it by himself...

Ji Yue wanted to laugh a little.

Gongzi Lian seems to be a little narcissistic.

But Ji Yue likes this kind of attitude. There are too many people who are imaginary and arrogant in front of him, and they are tired of seeing them. Wei Lian is so reckless, he actually thinks it is real and cute.

It probably varies from person to person. He saw that Wei Lianzheng was happy now, and he had a very high tolerance for Wei Lian. If another stranger came directly to the King of Qin and said something "unparalleled in our country", Ji Yue would definitely smile gently, then drag the person out and behead him.

"Peerless elegance, unparalleled national scholar." Ji Yue read it out, and there was a smile that could not be concealed in his voice, "Wei Lang, you are very arrogant."

"Since this minister is worthy of His Majesty's own hand-painted paintings, he is naturally worthy of such evaluation." Wei Lian's expression did not change.

"Okay!" Ji Yue clasped his hands, "Gu likes your arrogance."

Wei Lian smiled but said nothing.

He understood. King Qin didn't like people being too flamboyant in front of him, he would be killed for being arrogant; he didn't like being too introverted, he would be bored for being dull and boring; he didn't like to be respectful and warm to him, and he didn't like to treat him either big or small. Lost measure.

Like Wei Lian, who grasps a precise degree like this, is respectful and Wen Lian is occasionally arrogant, and after knowing the book and rationally playing a bit of temperament, will make the King of Qin feel novel and reluctant to kill him.

Wei Lian's attitude towards the King of Qin seems to be casual, but it is actually the result of careful speculation. Every word, deed, and every move are just right, this is extremely difficult, and anyone else would have died eight hundred times earlier.

But he is Wei Lian.

Wei Lian was not complacent, thinking that he had captured the heart of a moody king.

The human heart is the most difficult thing in the world to understand, not to mention the king's heart.

King Qin is by no means a person who can be coaxed so easily, and his interest in him is only temporary.

He still has a long way to go.

The days in the Hall of Mental Cultivation are very pleasant. Now everyone in the palace knew that Wei Lian was favored and that he lived where the emperor stayed, and no one dared to despise him. The clothes should be the best, the food should be the most exquisite, the bedding should be prepared for the winter, and you must not be cold and hungry.

In fact, it is not necessary. He eats and lives with the King of Qin most of the time, and the things the king uses are naturally the best. It's just the case that Wei Lian should have, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not dare to be short. It was a world of difference from the days when people could be bullied as much as possible in the first half month.

Jinyi jade food fat powder paste beams are piled up, and even the pigs are already fat and strong enough to be slaughtered.

Wei Lian felt that he had gotten heavier recently, and he didn't look so slender. When he woke up one morning and saw that his belt was no longer loose, he immediately started to lose weight.

He still cares about his looks. Although the King of Qin would not be merciful to a beautiful woman, he would not be merciful to an ugly person.

More importantly, be prepared for danger. King Qin has been very kind to him these days. After a long time of comfort, he will tend to become numb. If a slack provokes King Qin, it is not very good.

As long as Wei Lian eats well and sleeps well, he has nothing else to ask for. But he also doesn't like tying his life to others. Not to mention the poisons he once took, just with King Qin's temper, he was chatting and laughing with you one second, and the next second he didn't even know how he died. It's too dangerous to get along with such a person, and Wei Lian still wants to leave early.

There is nothing more stupid than putting one's life on the soft heart of others.

Wei Lian always planned to escape by suspended animation—the specific implementation would be after his twentieth birthday. Not before that, the possibility of fake death turning into real death is too great. The look of desperation that his master said was scary.

He never thought of being trapped in a palace for the rest of his life. The bird who was born in the cage is willing to be raised, but he is a scorpion with a vast sky in his heart.

Be free or die.

The most important thing right now is a weight loss plan.

If he was in the Chu Palace in the past, Wei Lian could practice his sword in an empty courtyard. Now it can't be done. The King Qin's palace is full of eyeliners from the King of Qin. As a son who is powerless, Wei Lian can only choose to diet.

The specific manifestation is that Wei Lian did not move the meat dishes brought by the King of Qin on the dining table.

Ji Yue was very thoughtful, and when he saw this, he asked softly, "Weirang doesn't have a good appetite?"

Wei Lian shook his head: "Recently, I like to eat light meals. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Li Fuquan immediately said: "Guardian, you are the servant, you should serve Your Majesty, how can you make His Majesty worry about you?"

Wei Lian looked at him and said nothing.

The palace servants showed sympathy.

Li Fuquan: "???"

Why does it feel a little wrong. If he didn't take care of the injury for three or four days, how did the whole world change when he came out

Ji Yue put the chopsticks down and said lightly, "Speak up."

Li Fuquan froze in his heart, not knowing which dragon beard he touched again.

He followed His Majesty for twelve years. There are countless eunuchs who have served His Majesty since childhood, and he may be the only one who can be the chief executive. Because Li Fu thinks about Ji Yue everywhere, this sincerity cannot be faked.

He had never seen anything that His Majesty truly loved. When His Majesty was a child, he loved a rabbit very much, and he would sleep with it at night, treat it like a human, and tell it his heart, and give it the best radish and vegetables.

But just because the rabbit took the initiative to run over when the queen mother arrived, she was picked up by the queen mother and praised her cuteness, and when the queen mother left, her majesty sent it to the pantry for stew.

When the Queen Mother comes back in the evening, Her Majesty asks the Queen Mother to stay for dinner. The queen mother felt that the braised pork on the table was well done, so she couldn't help but ask, "Yue'er, what kind of dish is this?"

The twelve-year-old boy curled his lips and smiled lightly: "It's the rabbit that the queen mother held during the day. The queen mother, does it taste cute?"

The queen mother's expression changed, and she immediately walked away.

The list goes on and on. Li Fuquan also understands that His Majesty may like many things, but it is only a temporary interest and will not last long.

Even when he heard that the Servant of the Guard was favored, he didn't take it seriously.

He forgot, whether or not His Majesty dislikes Wei Lian in the future, at least for now, Wei Lian can't afford to offend him.

He overstepped his place several times, and he really committed His Majesty's big taboo.

Li Fuquan, who was thinking about it, was in a cold sweat, and immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Slave overstepping."

"It's just three things." Ji Yue showed no expression, "Next time, don't blame me for not thinking about the past."

Li Fuquan stood up tremblingly: "... promise."

"Also." Ji Yue suddenly felt that the title "Servant Lord" was a little unpleasant, as if he had insulted the youth, "The order goes on, He Gong will treat Wei Lang as a son and treat each other with the courtesy of a wife, and should not be taken lightly. "

Li Fuquan bowed: "No."

When he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was no geothermal heat in the house, and the wind and snow outside immediately made Li Fuquan shudder, only to realize that he was stunned in a cold sweat.

He ordered the little eunuch to convey His Majesty's will, leaning on the door frame to wipe the sweat, thinking to himself:

It seems that this young master is really good at restraining his methods, and he doesn't know how long this honor can be maintained.

"Naturally, it took longer than my father-in-law thought." A soft and pearly voice came from behind, and Li Fuquan was so frightened that his back hit the wall, almost having a heart attack.

Wei Lian smiled: "Father-in-law be careful."

Li Fuquan shuddered again unconsciously, giving birth to an absurd illusion. He felt that even though this Young Master Lian had a gentle smile, the expression of hiding a knife in that smile was exactly the same as His Majesty's.

"Guardian..." Li Fuquan just spoke, remembered His Majesty's order, and quickly changed his words, "Why did Young Master Wei come out?"

"Come out and breathe." Wei Lianwen said.

Li Fuquan gave a salute and wanted to leave: "Then I won't bother you..." He didn't really want to deal with Wei Lian right now, and felt that this character was a little dangerous.

… the same danger as His Majesty.

"I also want to talk to my father-in-law." Wei Lian casually added.

Li Fuquan stopped.
