An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 25: Break the ice

Views:

Another day, lunch was passed on in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The dishes are rich and dazzling, making people salivate and sigh with a good mouthful.

The King of Qin was accustomed to enjoying these things, and his expression was only normal, and he was still able to pick and choose.

"Today's fish is not very fresh." Ji Yue put down his chopsticks and commented on the food.

Hearing this, Wei Lian took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth to taste, but he didn't feel any peculiar smell: "Is this acceptable?"

Ji Yue: "I don't think so."

Wei Lian: Okay.

You are the king and you are right.

Wei Lian knew that King Qin's degree of picky eating was outrageous.

"Remove it and let the imperial kitchen do it again." Wei Lian instructed the palace servant.

He has a face in front of the King of Qin, and he can also attract people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The palace servant left in response, and came back after a while, not bringing the freshly made fish, but brought a person.

The man looked at his clothes, and it should be the cook of the imperial kitchen.

Ji Yue smiled: "Does this mean that it is called alone eating people?"

The first time the cook faced the saint, he was already trembling, and when he heard the words, he knelt down on the spot, shaking like a sieve: "Your Majesty, spare your life!"

He had only heard His Majesty's rumors. He heard that he was murderous and had a tyrannical temperament. With a single order, he might have been thrown into a frying pan and fried.

Ji Yue's face was expressionless.

Afraid of doing this? He doesn't eat human flesh.

He killed countless people, except for the eyeliners of assassins from various countries hidden in the palace, and some of the following people who have committed misconduct, who have really killed innocent people indiscriminately.

It's not worth embarrassing a cook.

Wei Lian couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Yue's smile gradually disappearing. He covered his lips and chuckled: "Get up. Your Majesty doesn't eat people."

The cook didn't dare to look up, only to hear a clear and warm tone, like a breeze blowing across his face.

It should be the recently rumored son Lian.

Young Master Lianguo is really favored by His Majesty. Before His Majesty has spoken, he dared to let him get up without authorization. The cook murmured, but he didn't dare to really listen to Wei Lian's words.

Young Master Lianyou is favored by His Majesty, and Yuezuo will not be held accountable for acting on His Majesty's behalf. But if he got up without His Majesty's order, I'm afraid he would be dead in the next moment.

Ji Yue saw that the cook didn't move, and his voice was low: "Didn't you hear what the young master said?"

The cook was startled, and then got up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Xie Gongzi."

It seems that he still underestimated the importance of Young Master in His Majesty's heart.

Wei Lian didn't care that the cook just ignored him, everyone cherished their life, and it was human nature for the cook to not believe him. He asked, "What are you here to report?"

The cook no longer dared to respond to Wei Lian's words, he bowed and said, "This slave is Wang Shou, the chef of the imperial kitchen. Your majesty wants to make fresh fish, but the ingredients in the palace must go out of the palace to buy every day, just to ensure freshness. Today's The fish... are already the freshest, and there is really nothing left in the pantry."

Even if there was, it would have been overnight, dead for a long time, and fed to the palace servants. How dare he present it to His Majesty.

When explaining the situation to the palace staff of Yangxin Palace, the palace staff was also afraid that she would be convicted if she returned to her life empty-handed, so she brought him to accuse her.

After Wang Shou bit the bullet and finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for the hair to fall. There is nothing he can do, but the people above it are always difficult to understand the difficulties of the people below, and if there is any punishment, he can only admit it.

Ji Yue listened without saying a word. He is not a monarch who is difficult for strong men, and he will make people retreat by waving his hand.

Wang Shou thought that the King of Qin was waving his hand to ask someone to drag him down to be executed, and his face turned pale and his heart was ashes.

Wei Lian suddenly said, "I know that there is a place where there are fresh carp."

Ji Yue looked sideways: "Oh?"

Wei Lian smiled: "I will take your majesty down."

Ji Yue raised his brows: "Then what are you waiting for? Take Gu to take a look."

Wei Lian: "No."

The two said to leave, and the cook immediately stayed where he was. He hesitated and didn't know what to do, Li Fuquan turned around and gave him a wink, meaning "what are you still doing here? Why don't you step back."

Wang Shou was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again, and hurriedly exited, Fang Jue lived the rest of his life.

Really escaped from the gate of hell... Thanks to Mr. Wei's opening, he saved his life.

Wang Shou had lingering fears, and in a flash, he was grateful to Wei Lian again.

Ji Yue still didn't know that he was inexplicably carrying a black pot, because he was so famous, even if he didn't want to kill, others thought he was going to kill.

Ji Yue couldn't argue with this, and never wanted to argue in the past. After all, killing one person is killing, and killing a hundred people is also killing. From the first blood on his hands, he had nothing to do with the word innocence.

Only the king of prosperous times needs the name of benevolence and virtue, which is admired by all people;

He didn't need to say much.

Wei Lian also didn't know that his just right words forged a good relationship for him by mistake and helped him a lot in the future.

Right now, they are standing in a world of ice and snow. Wei Lian carried a woman Tang in his arms, looking at the frozen lake in front of him.

This is Qinyuan Lake.

In the spring, the water here is sparkling, and a lake can be seen from a distance. There are pavilions and pavilions, and along the Jiuqu Bridge can lead to the small sitting in the pavilion. You can also go boating on the lake and watch the koi swim in the water under the moon before the flowers.

However, it is winter now, and the lake is covered with a thick layer of ice. Even if there are swimming fish, they are hidden under the ice and cannot be easily removed.

Wei Lian had heard from the palace servants that the State of Lu had donated twenty koi fish with colorful clouds and auspicious clouds last year, and they were raised in this Qinyuan Lake.

"As long as the ice surface is smashed and the koi fish out of the water, wouldn't there be fresh carp to eat?" Wei Lian said.

Ji Yue didn't say a word, and Li Fuquan made a big fuss first: "Master Wei, this is a tribute from the state of Lu. A koi carp with colorful clouds and clouds is worth thousands of gold. It is rare in the world. It is only for viewing, how can it be eaten!"

Isn't this outrageous!

"What kind of tyranny is this." Wei Lian saw what Li Fuquan was thinking at a glance, his tone was warm and arrogant, "It is a lifelong wish for a carp to leap over the dragon gate. Entering His Majesty's dragon belly is their best destination, and it should be said that it is worth the money. It is."

… God's goddamn carp leaps over the dragon gate. Don't ask the carp if it is willing!

Absurd, so absurd!

Li Fuquan did not dare to refute Wei Lian any longer after the lessons he had learned a few times before, but just looked at his Majesty with eyes full of: Do you care

As a result, he took a closer look, and His Majesty was actually smiling.

It's not the fake cold smile it used to be. His Majesty bent his eyes, a thin layer of smile could not be concealed in the bottom of his eyes, with a faint soft color, very beautiful.

Li Fuquan was stunned for a while.

... I haven't seen His Majesty smile so sincerely in many years.

He listened to His Majesty with a low smile and asked: "But the ice is so thick, how does Wei Lang break the ice?"

Li Fuquan was about to suffocate.

Your Majesty is really considering this proposal!

In ancient times, King You of Zhou played the feudal lords with beacon fire and smiled to win Bao Si. Now, His Majesty can make a Chinese meal for a thousand-dollar koi for the sake of your son, but it's really... willful!

Reason told Li Fuquan to be so uncompromising. As a valet, he should persuade His Majesty to be more disciplined and not to do such things that are incompatible with etiquette.

Seeing the rare relaxed smile on His Majesty's eyes, Li Fuquan hesitated again.

That's all, if it can make His Majesty happy for a while, it's not a pity for a few koi to be buried.

Breaking the ice, breaking the ice on the lake is not difficult, but breaking the ice in Your Majesty's heart is difficult.

If Young Master Lian really has this ability... he will be grateful to him.

Li Fuquan was determined to make some changes to Wei Lian, and then heard Wei Lian say lightly: "In ancient times, there was a Jin man Wang Xiang lying on the ice and begging for carp. His Majesty undressed and went to lie down on the ice. Oh yes, Wang Xiang. Xiang moved the gods with filial piety, and ordinary people can't do this. Your Majesty is the real son of the dragon, only the spirit of the dragon can make the carp work hard to break the ice, don't let the palace people do it for you."

Li Fuquan was stunned as he listened to Wei Lian's serious nonsense.

He retracted his foreword.

What kind of philosophical solution is the son's convergence.

That is Su Daji, who is in trouble.

Li Fuquan looked at His Majesty in horror.

Your Majesty will not even agree to this request!
