An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Wei Lian had had enough of hard times.

Just because he can endure and endure hardships doesn't mean he likes to go on like this forever.

When he was in the Chu Palace, 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 a 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 saw the opportunity and deliberately bumped into the concubine's arms in the imperial garden.The palace man immediately scolded him for not being good-looking, and wanted to drag him out to beat the board.

"I don't know where the little eunuch came from, but he didn't teach the rules well, and dared to bump into the empress."

Xiaowei Lian raised his head, showing Yuxue's lovely face, and said stubbornly: "I'm not a little eunuch, I'm Young Master Lian."

This turned out to be a son.

Concubine Chong hurriedly asked people to let him go, and sent someone to inquire, only to find out that the child was the seventh son of the King of Chu, his biological mother died early, and he was alone in the palace.

This situation is similar to his own.The beloved concubine felt sorry for herself for a while, her mother's family background was not high, she had no one to rely on in the palace, only the favor of His Majesty.But how long can the grace last?The imperial physician said that she was weak and might not be able to conceive, and that she had no heirs in the palace, after all, it was not a long-term solution.

Seeing these Seventh Young Masters now, Concubine Chong suddenly felt some thoughts.

After that, Concubine Chong greeted Wei Lian with greetings and caresses from time to time.Wei Lian also just acted ignorant, showing admiration for the beloved concubine.The palace people followed suit, and his life soon became much easier.

Another month later, Concubine Chong was still not pregnant, and finally took Wei Lian to her knees to raise her on the grounds that she was "lonely in the palace and wanted a child as a companion".The king of Chu naturally agreed to the favored concubine's request.

So far, Wei Lian has completely escaped the life of bullying, teasing, hunger and cold.

Concubine Chong has no maternal love for Wei Lian, only what is needed for her own interests.She thought that this child knew nothing, but Wei Lian knew everything.

Back then, a six-year-old child already had a heart like a mirror, and the intentional collision in the imperial garden was a calculation of such a situation.

Wei Lian doesn't need a touching mother-child relationship.Concubine Chong needs a son to settle down, and he also needs a backer to improve his situation.The exchange of interests, everyone takes what they need, that's all.

He doesn't mind having an extra mother.

Unexpectedly, only half a month after adopting, Concubine Chong was diagnosed with a happy pulse, and she had her own son, and after that, she became more indifferent to him.Wei Lian didn't cry or make trouble, but made Concubine Chong feel a little pity.She regards this child as a lucky star, not to mention that since she has adopted it, she can't just kick it away to look cruel.

Wei Lian is still doing well.

It's just that when the Qin army came under pressure and Chu State needed to hand over a hostage, Wei Lian was still the most insignificant one.

She just gave up.

He knew how to fight for himself at such a young age, let alone now.

No one knows better than Wei Lian how snobbish people in the palace are and how much they look at dishes.Everyone can bully him today, because King Qin despises him.If it catches the eye of King Qin, tomorrow he will be free to choose delicacies from mountains and seas, and lychees from eight hundred miles away will be brought to him quickly.

Then the problem is coming.

He had to meet King Qin first.

According to the relationship between the two countries, it would be considered kind of King 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 concubines' tricks of competing for favor.He doesn't want people to be determined, to arouse the other party's interest, and it is enough to not be so difficult in the palace.

He had never met King Qin, but only heard rumors about him.

Qin Wang Ji Yue, cold-blooded warlike, cruel and heartless.His brothers all died because of the seizure of the throne. In the end, the empress dowager supported the nine-year-old Ji Yue to ascend the throne.

But when King Qin was 14 years old, he eradicated the foreign relatives, beheaded the prime minister, uprooted the foreign party, and exterminated the nine clans.At that time, blood flowed like rivers in Yongping City, and even the sky was weeping blood.

Later, the Empress Dowager was imprisoned for several months, and she was given three feet of white silk in spite of the world's disgrace.

He quelled the civil strife with thunderous means, and then set his target on the Six Kingdoms.

15-year-old Mi Xia.

16 years old Chen.

17 years old Zhan Liang.

Lian Zhan Yan, Lu two countries.

21 years old, attacking Chu.

Invincible.

Those who admire him praise him as a born god of war, the emperor of destiny, and those who fear him condemn him as hell in the world, a generation of tyrants.

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

All he knew was that this man was difficult to deal with.If you want to arouse King Qin's interest, you will die if you don't keep it.

But always have to try.

King Qin did not set up a harem, and never showed favor to anyone.Masculinity is prevalent nowadays, no one knows whether King Qin likes a man or a woman, let alone what type.

Wei Lian was thinking about what kind of personality he should set up for himself, so as to attract Qin Wang's attention.

Like that, the monarch who only sees conquering the world in his eyes should not be too sympathetic.

It is definitely not acceptable to be servile and flattering in every possible way. King Qin has seen such people a lot.Wei Lian himself hated such a gesture.

Noble character, narcissistic?

It doesn't work either.Since he is so pure and pure, why bother to go forward eagerly, this kind of trick of wanting to greet and yet rejecting cannot be shamed in front of the King of Qin.

So... sharp and evenly matched?

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

Wei Lian vetoed several proposals one after another, feeling very headache.

He didn't understand King Qin at all, so he talked about strategy.

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

The sky has become a little overcast.The palace people on the palace road were still sweeping snow, and there was an eunuch who looked like he was in charge urging people to work.

His heart moved.

The Green Bamboo Pavilion is located in a remote place, rarely visited by people on weekdays.This palace road is the only direction leading to the cold palace, and it feels windy at night, and there are few people walking.

The snow fell for several days, but no one came to sweep it, but today it is so serious, it means that a big person will pass by here later.

There are no concubines in the Qin Palace, so it is impossible for a favorite concubine to go to the cold palace to mock a down-and-out concubine.Then the people passing by will only be...

King Qin.

Golden opportunity.

It is not easy to know the whereabouts of King Qin.Wei Lian was still thinking about how to have a chance encounter, but now it's done, it will take no effort at all.

Wei Lian had inquired about some news about Qin Wang's palace with the maid.Although he was not welcomed by the people of Qin, he had a good appearance and was gentle and refined, and he could still make a group of little court ladies blush and heartbeat, and they would say anything when asked.

For example, Wei Lian learned one thing.

King Qin's background is also not high, his biological mother is Yunji who fell out of favor.When he was a child, he and his mother grew up in the cold palace.

Yunji went mad in the cold palace, and died by throwing herself into a well on a snowy night, leaving only a pair of footprints on the snow.

Later, the king of Qin succeeded to the throne. He was coerced by the queen mother a few years ago, and he never saw the dry well where his mother was buried.

It wasn't until the queen mother was bestowed dead that he ordered people to salvage the bones of his biological mother from the bottom of the well so that he could bury her alive.

On snowy nights, the young emperor would sometimes go to the cold palace and sit down on the rotten and dusty little bed.

Or rest all night.

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

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 pawn of the Empress Dowager Qin, but in the end this pawn overturned the chessboard and re-established the general situation of the world.

Wei Lian is the abandoned son of Chu State, as to whether this abandoned son can regain its value, it is unknown.

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

Changshou couldn't help asking: "My lord, where are you going?"

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

... In this world, probably only Wei Lian dared to describe that tyrannical king as a rabbit.

Changshou hurriedly said: "You add another dress!"

"No need. You are not allowed to follow." No matter how thin and lonely he is, how can he show a miserable situation.

"Hey, son! This—" Changshou looked at Changsheng helplessly, "It's cold outside!"

Changsheng stopped him: "My lord has his own opinion."

The snow is deep.

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

Several snow-sweeping palace servants had already called off their work and left, and the vast world was completely white.

Wei Lian was dressed in a plain white cloud brocade gown, wrapped in snow-white fox fur, standing in the wind and snow.Her brocade-like black hair was draped behind her back, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her eyebrows were picturesque.

His outfit was brought from the state of Chu.After all, it is a tribute, so it can't be too shabby.The state of Chu is still white, and the sleeves are fluttering with joy. Wei Lian's white clothes make Wei Lian more elegant and elegant.

Wei Lian didn't wait long, and carried a black dragon chariot from a distance.Followed by twelve palace men, a chief eunuch, and several guards, mighty and mighty.

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

Wei Lian's ears twitched slightly, and turned around as if he had just discovered it. The fox fur brushed the ground and made a beautiful spin.

When he saw the chariot, he was startled, then lowered his eyes, and knelt quietly on the ground.

Contrary to Chu State, Qin State is still black.Black dragon-patterned chariot, 12-person guard of honor, it is easy to know the identity of the visitor.

As the chariot gradually approached, Ji Yue noticed the young man kneeling by the roadside.

There were countless palace people kneeling up and down along the way, and none of them caught Ji Yue's eyes.But this one cannot be ignored.

The young man knelt in the snow and did not block the way.He lowered his eyes, revealing a fair and slender neck, and his profile was flawless.

The lips are gorgeous, like a touch of red plums facing the frost and proud of the snow in the white snow.

It has an unbearably weak demeanor.

When the chariot was about to pass, Ji Yuefang said casually, "Stop."

Li Fuquan, the chief eunuch, immediately screamed: "Stop!"

The chariot was lowered steadily.

"Who is that?" Ji Yue leaned on the dragon chariot, supporting himself and asked.

Li Fuquan hurriedly asked loudly: "Who is in front?"

Wei Lian pursed his lips, touched his forehead to the ground as a salute, stood up and said, "Protonic Wei Lian, pay homage to the King of Qin."

Wei Lian.

The name is very strange.

But Wei is the surname of Chu State.

Ji Yue thought for a while, and finally remembered that Chu State came to negotiate a peace half a month ago, 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 attendant asked him what he wanted to do with the proton of Chu, Ji Yue wanted to kill him, but then said again: "Fill it into the harem."

The intention was indeed to humiliate him, and he had so many things to forget in a blink of an eye.

She was a rare beauty.

However, Ji Yue has no interest in beauty.He was always moody, and if he was willing to ask Wei Lian a word at this moment, he could suddenly kill him the next moment.

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

Wei Lian knelt, not daring to raise his eyes.

But he could hear King Qin's voice, young and melodious.

It is not at all different from the imaginary bird of prey.
