An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 2: See you for the first time

Views:

Wei Lian has had enough hardships.

He can endure hardships and endure hardships, but it doesn't mean that he likes to go on like this all the time.

When he was in the palace of the King of Chu, Wei Lian was a pitiful little man who was neglected until he was six years old, and his life was no different from that of the little eunuch in the palace.

At that time, there was a favorite concubine in the palace, who had no children for two years in the palace, and could not gain a firm foothold in the harem. Wei Lian took a fancy to the timing and deliberately bumped into the concubine's arms in the imperial garden. The palace servant immediately scolded him for not having long eyes and wanted to pull him out to play the board.

"I don't know where the little eunuch came from and didn't teach the rules well, so he dared to rush against the empress."

Xiaowei Lian raised his head, revealing Yu Xue's lovely face, and said stubbornly, "I'm not a little eunuch, I'm son Lian."

This turned out to be a boy.

Concubine Chong was busy letting him go, and sent people to inquire, only to find out that this child was the seventh son of the King of Chu, and his biological mother died early, and he was lonely in the palace.

This situation is similar to myself. The favored concubine felt self-pity for a while, her mother's background was not high, and she was helpless in the palace, only the favor of His Majesty. But how long can the grace last? The imperial doctor said that she was weak, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to conceive, and that there was no child in the palace. After all, it was not a long-term solution.

Seeing these seven young masters now, the favored concubine suddenly had some thoughts.

After that, the favored concubine greeted Wei Lian with cold greetings, always watching over him. Wei Lian also just acted ignorantly and showed his admiration for the favorite concubine. The palace man sees the wind and turns the rudder, and his life will be much better soon.

Another month later, Concubine Chong was still not pregnant, and finally, on the grounds that she was "lonely in the palace and wanted a child to be with her", Wei Lian was brought under her knees to be raised. For the request of the favored concubine, the King of Chu naturally agreed.

At this point, Wei Lian completely got rid of those bullying, teasing, hunger and cold life.

The favored concubine has no maternal love for Wei Lian, just what she needs. She thought that the child knew nothing, but she didn't know that Wei Lian knew everything.

The six-year-old child at that time was already like a mirror, and he deliberately bumped into the imperial garden to calculate such a situation.

Wei Lian doesn't need an earth-shattering mother-son relationship. The favorite concubine needs a son to settle down, and he also needs a backer to improve his situation. The exchange of benefits, everyone gets what they need, that's all.

He doesn't mind having an extra mother.

It was only half a month later that Concubine Chong was diagnosed with a happy pulse, and she had a son of her own, and since then she has been a little bit less to him. Wei Lian didn't cry or make trouble, but instead called the favored concubine a little pity. She treats this child as a lucky star, not to mention that since she has adopted it, she can't kick it away to show her ruthlessness.

Wei Lian is still doing well.

It was just that when the Qin army was overwhelmed and Chu needed to hand over a proton, Wei Lian was still the most insignificant one.

She will give up.

He knew how to fight for himself at such a young age, not to mention now.

No one knows better than Wei Lian how snobbish people in the palace are and how much they look at the dishes. He can be bullied by everyone today, because the King of Qin hates him. If he caught the eye of King Qin, he would be able to choose from the delicacies of mountains and seas tomorrow, and lychees from 800 miles away would have to be brought to him quickly.

So here comes the problem.

He had to see the King of Qin first.

From the perspective of the relationship between the two countries, it would be considered kind for the King of Qin not to kill him, let alone summon him.

There is no way to expect the other party to take the initiative.

If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain.

Wei Lian grew up in the palace, and saw many tricks of concubines and concubines to compete for favor. He didn't want people to give up and arouse the other party's interest. It was enough to not be so difficult in the palace.

He had never seen King Qin, but had only heard rumors of that one.

The King of Qin, Ji Yue, was cold-blooded and belligerent, cruel and inhumane. His brothers all died for seizing the throne, and in the end, the queen mother supported nine-year-old Ji Yue to ascend to the throne.

But when King Qin was fourteen years old, he eradicated the foreign relatives, cut off the head of the prime minister with his own hands, uprooted the foreign party, and wiped out the nine clans. At that time, blood flowed into rivers in Yongping City, and even the sky was filled with tears of blood.

Afterwards, he imprisoned the queen mother for several months, and gave her three feet of white silk.

He calmed down the civil strife with thunder, and then set his target on the Six Nations.

Fifteen-year-old kills summer.

At the age of sixteen, cut Chen.

War Liang at the age of seventeen.

At the age of 18, he joined Yan and Lu.

Twenty-one years old, attacked Chu.

Invincible.

Those who admired him praised him as a natural god of war, an emperor of destiny, and those who feared him denounced him as a tyrant in the world.

… None of this has anything to do with Wei Lian.

All he knew was that this man was difficult to deal with. Wanting to arouse the interest of the King of Qin, Bao Qi is going to die.

But always try it.

King Qin did not set up a harem and never showed favor to anyone. Nowadays, masculinity prevails, and no one knows whether the King of Qin likes a man or a woman, let alone what type.

Wei Lian was thinking about what kind of character he should set up for himself in order to attract the attention of the King of Qin.

It seems that only the monarch who conquers the world in his eyes should not be very sympathetic to Xiangxiang and Yuyu.

It is absolutely impossible to be a slave, a servant, and all kinds of flattery. The King of Qin has seen such a person a lot. Wei Lian himself also hated such an attitude.

The character is noble and self-respecting

Neither. Since he is really high-minded, why bother to come up to him, this kind of trick of welcoming and refusing can't be humiliated in front of the King of Qin.

So... hard-edged, evenly matched

The strong can arouse the desire to conquer. It's just that he might have been dragged down and cut before that. King Qin would not keep a threat by his side. No king will.

Wei Lian rejected several plans one after another, feeling a headache.

He didn't know the King of Qin at all, so what was the strategy.

Wei Lian opened the window a little further, and the cold wind blowing in front of him woke him up.

The sky has become a little cloudy. The palace servants on the palace road are still sweeping snow, and there is a eunuch who looks like a boss urging people to work.

His heart moved.

Green Bamboo Pavilion is located in a remote place, and it is rarely visited on weekdays. This palace road is the only direction leading to the cold palace. It feels like a gloomy wind at night, and no one is going.

The snow has been falling for several days, and no one has come to sweep it, but today is so serious, it means that a big man will pass by here later.

There is no concubine in the Qin Palace, and it is impossible for a favorite concubine to go to the palace to ridicule a poor concubine with arrogance. Then the people who pass by will only be...

King of Qin.

Golden opportunity.

The whereabouts of the King of Qin are difficult to know. Wei Lian was still thinking about how to have a chance encounter, but now it's good, it doesn't take much effort to get it.

Wei Lian and the palace maids inquired about some news in the Qin palace. Although he was not popular with the Qin people, he was good-looking and gentle, and he could still make a bunch of little palace maids blush and say anything when asked.

For example, Wei Lian realized one thing.

King Qin's background is also not high, and his biological mother is Yun Ji, who is out of favor. He and his mother grew up in a cold palace when he was a child.

Yun Ji was insane in the cold palace. One snowy night, she threw herself into a well and died, leaving only a pair of footprints on the snow.

Later, when the King of Qin succeeded to the throne, he was held hostage by the Queen Mother a few years ago, and he never saw the dry well where his mother was buried.

It was not until the Queen Mother died that he ordered people to salvage the bones of the biological mother at the bottom of the well, so that she could be buried alive.

On snowy nights, the young emperor sometimes went to the cold palace to sit on the rotten and dusty cot.

Or take an overnight break.

Wei Lian felt that he and the King of Qin were quite sympathetic to each other.

The difference is that he didn't even have a childhood with a mother, and he didn't have any warmth to pursue.

The King of Qin was originally a chess piece from the Queen Mother Qin, but in the end, this chess piece overturned the chessboard and re-established the situation in the world.

Wei Lian is the abandoned son of the Chu State, and it is unknown whether this abandoned son will be able to regain its value.

Right now, Wei Lian closed the window, closed the fox fur on his body, and was about to get up.

Changshou couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, where are you going?"

Wei Lian pushed open the door: "Go and wait for the rabbit."

... In this world, I am afraid that only Wei Lian dares to describe the tyrannical king as a rabbit.

Changshou hurriedly said: "You add another dress!"

"No. You are not allowed to follow." How could he show a miserable situation without being thin and standing alone.

"Hey, Young Master! This—" Changshou looked at Changsheng in confusion, "It's cold outside!"

Changsheng stopped him: "Young master has his own opinion."

The snow is deep.

Even if the palace road has been cleaned up, it is extremely slippery to step on, and it will fall if you are not careful.

A few snow-sweeping palace servants had already finished their work and left, leaving the vast world in a vast expanse of white.

Wei Lian, dressed in a plain white cloud brocade gown, wrapped in a snow-white fox fur, stood in the snow. Brocade-like ink hair is draped behind her, her lips are red and her teeth white, and her eyebrows are picturesque.

His outfit was brought from the state of Chu. In the end, it is considered a tribute, and it cannot be too shabby. The state of Chu is still white, with long sleeves and white clothes, making Wei Lian more elegant and out of the dust.

Wei Lian didn't wait long before he carried a black dragon chariot from a distance. Twelve palace people followed, one eunuch in charge, several guards, mighty and mighty.

No matter how deaf people are, it is impossible not to hear this battle.

Wei Lian moved the tip of his ear slightly, and turned around as if he had just discovered it. The fox fur brushed the ground and made a nice spin.

He was stunned when he saw the top chariot, then lowered his eyes and knelt on the ground quietly.

Contrary to the state of Chu, the state of Qin is still dark. Black dragon-patterned chariots, with a 12-person honor guard, it is easy to know the identity of the visitor.

Bu Nian gradually approached, Ji Yue noticed the young man kneeling by the roadside.

There were countless palace servants who knelt up and down all the way, and none of them got Ji Yue's eyes. But this one cannot be ignored.

The young man knelt in the snow and did not block his way. He lowered his eyes, revealing a long white neck, and his side face was flawless.

The lips are gorgeous, like a red plum that greets the frost and proud snow in the white snow.

He has a frail demeanor.

When Bu Nian was about to pass by, Ji Yuefang said casually, "Stop."

Li Fuquan, the chief eunuch, immediately said sharply, "Stop!"

The chariot was put down steadily.

"Who is that?" Ji Yue leaned on the dragon chariot and asked Yi.

Li Fuquan hurriedly asked loudly, "Who is ahead?"

Wei Lian pursed his lips, touched the ground with his forehead, and gave a big salute. He got up and said, "Proton Wei Lian, meet the King of Qin."

Wei Lian.

The name is unfamiliar.

But Wei is the national surname of Chu State.

Ji Yue thought about it for a while, and finally remembered that Chu State came to negotiate peace for half a month and sent many treasures and a proton. In Ji Yue's heart, protons are no different from those dead things, they are all trophies.

The valet asked him what to do with the Chu country's protons. Ji Yue wanted to kill him, but then he said, "Let's put it in the harem."

The intention is indeed to humiliate, and he has a lot of things to forget in a blink of an eye.

She was a rare beauty.

However, Ji Yue was not interested in beauty. He is always moody, and if he is willing to ask Wei Lian a word at this moment, he can suddenly kill him the next moment.

Ji Yuezhi stood up: "It's freezing outside, why are you here?"

Wei Lian knelt down, not daring to raise his eyes.

But he could hear the voice of King Qin, young and sweet.

It is not at all different from the imaginary ghost.
