An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Another day, lunch was announced in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The dishes are rich and dazzling, making people salivate when they hear it, and sigh a good taste.

King Qin was used to enjoying these things, his expression was normal, and he could pick and choose.

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

Hearing this, Wei Lian put a piece of fish in his mouth and tasted it, but he didn't feel any strange smell: "I think it's okay?"

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

Wei Lian: All right.

You are king and you are right.

Wei Lian knew that King Qin was outrageously picky about food, and if he thought it was not good, he would die forever.

"Take it away and let the imperial dining room make another one." Wei Lian ordered to the palace servants.

He gained face in front of the King of Qin, and he was able to command the people in the Palace of Mental Cultivation.

The palace servants left at the sound, and came back after a while, instead of bringing freshly cooked fish, they brought a person instead.

Looking at his clothes, the man should be the cook of the imperial dining room.

Ji Yue smiled: "Does this mean that you can eat people alone?"

The cook met Sheng Sheng for the first time, and he was already trembling, but when he heard the words, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot, shaking like chaff: "Your Majesty, spare me!"

He had only heard the rumors of His Majesty, that he was murderous and had a tyrannical temperament. If he gave an order, he might really be thrown into the frying pan and fried.

Ji Yue was expressionless.

What are you afraid of doing?He doesn't eat human flesh.

He killed countless people, except for the eyeliners of assassins from various countries hiding in the palace, as well as some people below who committed misdemeanors. He had never really killed innocent people indiscriminately.

There is no need to embarrass a cook.

Seeing Ji Yue's smile gradually disappearing, Wei Lian couldn't help laughing.He covered his lips with a chuckle: "Get up. Your Majesty doesn't eat people."

The cook didn't dare to raise his head, he could only hear a clear and warm voice, like a breeze blowing on his face.

It should be the young master Lian that has been widely rumored recently.

Young Master Lian is indeed favored by His Majesty, it is audacious to let him get up without His Majesty's words.The cook slandered, but he didn't dare to really listen to Wei Lian's words.

Young Master Lian is favored by His Majesty, and His Majesty will not pursue it if Yue Zu acts on his behalf.But if he got up without His Majesty's order, he might die in the next moment.

Seeing that the cook didn't move, Ji Yue said in a cold voice, "Didn't you hear what you said?"

The cook was startled, and then got up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Young Master."

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

Wei Lian didn't care about the cook's ignorance of him just now, everyone cherished their lives, and the cook couldn't believe that he was human.He asked, "What do you want to report here?"

The cook no longer dared to answer Wei Lian's words, and bowed and said, "I am Wang Shou, the chef of the imperial dining room. Your Majesty cooks fresh fish, but the ingredients in the palace have to be bought every day to ensure freshness. Today's The fish... is already the freshest, and there is really nothing left in the dining room."

Even if there were, they were given to the palace people to eat after a long time of death.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 condemned if she went back empty-handed and returned to her life, so they brought him together to confess the crime.

After Wang Shou finished speaking bravely, he lowered his head and waited.He had no choice, but the people above couldn't understand the difficulties of the subordinates, and he could only accept any punishment.

After hearing this, Ji Yue didn't say a word.He is not a monarch who can make things difficult for others, who wants to make people retreat with a wave of his hand.

However, Wang Shou thought that King Qin was waving his hands to ask someone to drag him down and execute him. His complexion turned pale and his heart felt ashamed.

Wei Lian suddenly said: "I know that there is a place that has fresh carp."

Ji Yue looked sideways: "Oh?"

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

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

Wei Lian: "No."

The two left as soon as they said they would, and the cook immediately stayed where he was.He hesitated and didn't know what to do, Li Fuquan turned his head and gave him a wink, which meant, "What are you still doing here? Why don't you back off quickly."

Wang Shou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again, and hurriedly withdrew, Fang Jue survived the catastrophe.

I really escaped from the gate of hell... Thanks to Mr. Wei, he saved his life by opening his mouth.

Wang Shou had lingering fears in his heart, and he was grateful to Wei Lian in an instant.

Ji Yue still didn't know that he was somehow blamed, because of his notoriety, even if he didn't intend to kill, others thought he was going to kill.

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

Only the king in a prosperous age needs the name of benevolence, which is admired by all people; the king in troubled times wants the prestige of iron and blood, which everyone fears.

He needs no more words.

Wei Lian didn't know that his just-in-time sentence formed a good relationship for him and helped him a lot in the future.

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

This is Qinyuan Lake.

In spring, the water surface here is sparkling, and you can see a piece of lake and water from a distance.There are pavilions and pavilions on it, and along the Jiuqu Bridge, you can lead to the pavilions and small sittings.You can also go boating on the lake, watching the koi swimming in the water.

However, it is winter now, and a thick layer of ice has formed on the surface of the lake. Even if there are swimming fish, they are all hidden under the ice surface and cannot be easily taken out.

Wei Lian once heard a palace official mention that the State of Lu paid tribute to twenty Caixia and Xiangyun koi carps last year, and they were raised in this Qinyuan Lake.

"As long as we break through the ice and fish out the koi under the water, wouldn't there be fresh carp to eat?" Wei Lian asked.

Ji Yue didn't say anything, Li Fuquan started fussing: "Young Master Wei, this is a tribute from the Lu Kingdom. A koi carp with colorful clouds and clouds is worth thousands of gold. It is rare in the world and is for ornamental purposes. How can it be eaten!"

Isn't this reckless?

"What kind of reckless waste is this?" Wei Lian saw through Li Fuquan's thoughts at a glance, his tone was warm and arrogant, "It is a lifelong wish for carp to leap over the dragon's gate. It is their best destination to enter the belly of your majesty's dragon. It should be said that it is worth the money." It is."

...God damn carp jumping over the dragon gate.Don't even ask the carp if it is willing!

Absurd, too absurd!

Having learned from the previous few times, Li Fuquan didn't dare to refute Wei Lian anymore, but just looked at his majesty, his eyes were full of: "Don't you care?"

But when he took a closer look, His Majesty was actually smiling.

It is no longer the false and cold smile of the past.His Majesty's eyes were bent, and there was a thin layer of smile in his eyes, which couldn't be concealed, with a light and soft color, which was extremely beautiful.

Li Fuquan was stunned for a moment.

... It has been many years since His Majesty smiled so sincerely.

He heard His Majesty ask with a low smile, "But the ice is so thick, how will Wei Lang break through it?"

Li Fuquan was about to suffocate.

Your Majesty really considers this proposal!

In ancient times, King You of Zhou played with the princes in Fenghuo, and smiled to win the praise.Now His Majesty can cook a plate of Chinese food with a valuable koi for the sake of the son, it's really... extremely willful!

Reason told Li Fuquan to be so uncompromising, as a close servant, he should persuade His Majesty to be more disciplined and not to do such things that are not in line with etiquette.

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

That's all, if it can make His Majesty happy, it would be no pity to ruin a few koi.

Breaking the ice, breaking the ice on the lake is not difficult, but it is difficult to break the ice in His Majesty's heart.

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

Li Fuquan was determined to change his mind on Wei Lian, when Wei Lian said lightly: "In ancient times, Wang Xiang, a man from Jin, lay on the ice and begged for a carp. Your Majesty took off his clothes and lay down on the ice. Oh, yes, Wang Xiang." Xiang moved the heavens with his filial piety, and ordinary people cannot do this. Your Majesty is the real dragon emperor, only the dragon spirit can make the carp break through the ice, don't let the palace people do it for you."

Li Fuquan listened dumbfounded to Wei Lian's serious nonsense.

He retracted his foreword.

What kind of son Hua Jieyu is the young master?

That is Su Daji, who is in trouble.

Li Fuquan looked at His Majesty in extreme horror.

Your Majesty will not even agree to this request!
