An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

That night, Wei Lian moved into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the past, this was an honor that even queens did not have.The queen lives in the Jiaofang Hall, which occupies the first and fifteenth day of the king's first day.On weekdays, when the king summons his concubines and concubines, he usually takes a chariot to the concubine's bedroom.Those who brought concubines to the Hall of Mental Cultivation would send them back once the child's time had passed.

Those who are more favored can be allowed to stay until dawn to wait for the king to change clothes before going to court, and then they still have to go back home.The Hall of Mental Cultivation is the place of the emperor and the place of the crouching dragon. There is always only one real master.

It can be seen from Wei Lian's posture that he intends to stay here for a long time.This is clearly an order from His Majesty.

There are no queens or concubines in the harem of this dynasty, and there is not even a single person to compete with Wei Lian.

In the eyes of others, Wei Lian was lucky.With His Majesty's favor, glory, wealth, power and status are all at your fingertips?

Originally, Zizi was a humble master in the Qin Palace. Once he flew to the branches, some people envied him and others envied him.Many palace people thought to themselves sourly, companions are like companions to tigers, the one who lives in a beautiful place today, may roll out with his head on the ground tomorrow.

Wei Lian doesn't know how outsiders think, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is very warm, the meals are rich and the bedding is thick, Wei Lian is very satisfied.

As for King Qin?What is that.It's just a tool man who allows him to live a good life by taking advantage of the skyrocketing ladder.

The love of a king, whoever is stupid, asks for it, Wei Lian doesn't want it.He is a very pragmatic person, from the beginning to the end, what he seeks is prosperity and wealth, and he has no interest in love.

This is also the case with the King of Qin, so the two hit it off, each took what they needed, and became good partners.

At this moment, Wei Lian was serving this partner's meal.

In the evening, the meal was delivered in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and soon a maid came in with delicious dishes and put them on the wooden table.

Auspicious Ruyi Cake, Agate Sweet and Sour Fish, Eight Treasures Exquisite Swallow Wing, Jade Green Bean Roll... No matter how ordinary the dishes are, they should be named inlaid with gold and jade in the court, so as to appear royal and noble.

In Ji Yue's eyes, it was nothing but Wei Lian, who had eaten steamed buns and pickled vegetables for half a month, and was hungry for a meal last night - he wanted to overthrow King Qin immediately and sit on the dining table by himself, sweeping away empty.

But not.

According to the rules, not only was Wei Lian not allowed to eat, but he had to stand by King Qin's side and prepare vegetables for him.

Dog, emperor, emperor.

Wei Lian lowered his eyebrows docilely, and stood beside King Qin, trying not to let his gaze fall on the sumptuous meals.

The thick soup is delicious and steaming.The dishes on the table are full of beautiful things in eyes, and the rice is fragrant.

The servant used silver needles to test the poison one by one, and there were eunuchs waiting for orders.Wei Lian rolled his eyelids, thinking that there are many poisons that cannot be tested by silver needles in this world, and there are also many medicines that can kill you if you don't attack immediately.

Any king cherishes his life, but the means of taking human life are hard to guard against.As long as Wei Lian is willing, he can even poison them right under their noses.

By chance, Wei Lian once got a master who gave him all his money. He knew medicine, poison, and martial arts. He could talk about military strategy, poetry and poetry. , The art of five elements and eight trigrams.

Even the master is amazed that he is a person with extraordinary talent and amazing talents.

Wei Lian also knows how to win people's hearts and cultivate wings.At the beginning, the king of Chu was afraid of the powerful master and destroyed the generals who protected the country. Wei Lian crossed the sea and replaced it with a nest of death row prisoners, and saved the generals.

The tiger talisman that King Chu took back was a fake.The real piece is still in the hands of the General Protecting the Nation, under the orders of Wei Lian.

The master is an expert who can see the secrets of the sky. He once made a fortune teller for him, asserting that his life is extremely precious, but he needs to hide his strength and bide his time before he reaches the crown, otherwise he will look desperate.

Now he is nineteen, one year away from the weak crown.

Endure another year.Either he cheated to get the antidote to get rid of King Qin's restraint, feigned death and left Qin State, and the world let him be at ease.Or simply kill the dog emperor and become the master of the world by yourself.

What is distressing at the moment is the poison on his body.

It doesn't feel good to be held back.Wei Lian was careful when he took the pill, picked out a little powder and hid it between his fingers, hoping to develop an antidote by himself.However, it is not so easy to understand whether it is the means of the royal family to control the hidden guards.Wei Lian had no clue.

He had to hold his breath for now.

This look of death, can't it be because of the poison?

After the silver needle was tested, there was no abnormality.Wei Lian took a quick glance and knew that there was nothing wrong with the food on this table.

When the tasting eunuch was about to hold the chopsticks, Wei Lian suddenly said, "Your Majesty, come and try it."

He spoke in a gentle tone, but it surprised everyone in the hall.

...There are still people rushing to die?

Who doesn't know that King Qin is hated by others, their Majesty is at the top of the assassination list of the Seven Kingdoms, and is very popular with assassins.

Trying to eat eunuchs is a high-risk job, and you have to change people every now and then because the predecessor is dead.

The palace people looked at Wei Lian as if they were looking at a fool, and they were still thinking about how such a good-looking young man could not have a bright head at such a young age.

Only try the eunuch and see that he looks like a savior.

...or like a scapegoat.

Ji Yue said "Oh": "Do you know that this food test is really a poison test?"

Wei Lian said: "I know."

"You are not afraid of death?"

"It's my honor to die for His Majesty." King Qin believed it or not, but Wei Lian himself didn't believe it.

Ji Yue smiled, thinking that I believe you a ghost.

You just want to eat.

Can't Danggu see that you've been staring at that agate sweet and sour fish for a long time?

"Why is Gu willing to let Wei Lang take risks?" Ji Yue said, "Wei Lang sit down together and have dinner with Gu."

Wei Lian said "I dare not", but sat down very quickly.

Didn't say anything about drug testing.His purpose was to eat.

Otherwise, after serving King Qin's meal, he would use the leftovers coldly. What's the point of putting himself in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?

Seeing that he was sitting neatly, Ji Yue saw interest in his eyes, which soon disappeared.

He just curled his lips indistinctly.

The process of poison testing is still not saved.The little eunuch tried the food tremblingly, and when he turned around, he was relieved to find that he was still alive.

Who would spare their lives?From the king to the servants, they all want to live a good life.

The same goes for Wei Lian.

The royal family of Chu has the rule of "eating no more than three chopsticks" when eating. No matter what dish is used, no more than three chopsticks should be used, and they must not show their preferences, in order to prevent being taken advantage of by those who want to.

But Qin has no such rules.

They did not forget the need for acting, and it was passed on to the ministers through the mouths of these palace officials.

They sat at the same table, and the King of Qin pampered him with words, and would give him a piece of agate sweet and sour fish from time to time: "Wei Lang is too thin, eat more fish to nourish his body."

Wei Lian also put a crystal shrimp dumpling into King Qin's bowl, and said softly, "Your Majesty, use more."

All this was seen by the servants in the Palace of Mental Cultivation, and when it was spread outside, it was how Young Master Lian won the favor.

He was only one distance away from the concubine Yao, sitting on King Qin's lap and feeding him mouth to mouth.

But Wei Lian asked himself that he still couldn't do that.He and Qin Wang were superficial, they seemed to feed each other affectionately, but they actually used serving chopsticks.

They both dislike each other's saliva.

Wei Lian didn't dare to randomly add vegetables to King Qin's bowl, lest he would suffer bad luck.

Zhu Cui sincerely does not bully him, King Qin's picky taste is outrageous.Not only does he not eat onion, ginger, garlic, sour, salty, bitter, spicy, meaty and greasy, and clear soup with little water, he can't touch any of them.As long as the taste is even weaker, it is impossible to swallow it.

Fortunately, he is the king of Qin.If you are an ordinary person, you will starve to death sooner or later.

The king of Qin has a peculiar taste.In addition to crystal shrimp dumplings, he also loves sweet cakes.Especially the soft, sweet and greasy pastries that look like little white rabbits.

Who would have thought that the famous and unpredictable tyrant was a young man who could be happy just by eating sweet cakes.

Ji Yue was satisfied after eating a book, Wei Lian looked at it expressionlessly.

Throughout the ages, whoever has been dubbed a tyrant is one who is not arrogant, extravagant and lustful, and there are even absurd rumors of swallowing human flesh alive?

This one is even more ridiculous.

Not only do I love sweet cakes, but I also want to eat cute ones.

What a disgrace to the tyrant world.
