An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Wei Lian looked down at this sentence, his long eyelashes were lowered, and his eyes were calm.

"Wei Lian, Wei Lian!"

A hand waved in front of him.

Only then did Wei Lian regain his senses, the words in his hand had already been taken away by someone.

"What's so interesting? I can't even hear Gu's words." Ji Yue quickly threw the script away, "Don't read it."

Wei Lian raised his eyes: "What did you just say?"

"..." Ji Yue repeated, "Gu Fang just said that the envoy of Chu State will arrive tomorrow."

Wei Lian thought for a while: "Oh."

What does that have to do with him?

Seeing that he was indifferent, Ji Yue stopped talking.Thinking about it, Wei Lian was not valued in the Chu State, and it was the utmost benevolence to become a hostage and enter the Qin Dynasty, so what care could he have for the Chu State?

"Recently, the envoys from the five countries came to Qin, and most of them stayed in the palace. I will leave this matter to you to arrange." Ji Yue said.

Wei Lian lost interest: "It's so troublesome."

"Lazy fox." Ji Yue tapped his forehead, "You have the Luan seal, you have to make a show."

Wei Lian raised his head, with a hint of hope in his eyes: "Can I not?"

Ji Yue said coolly, "No, I can."

Wei Liansheng leaned back helplessly.

Bixia Pavilion.

"Aslan! Aslan!" Melna ran in from outside the house, jingling the silver bells all over her body, making clear and pleasant sounds.

She had already forgotten the unhappiness in the morning: "I went out today and found someone! He looks so good-looking!"

Aslan immediately warned: "This is not a place for you to mess around."

Generally, people who Myrna says are good-looking will appear on her bed in the end.

But where is the palace, the ghost knows whether the person Melna is looking at is a dignitary or an eunuch.

"Oh, that's not the point. The point is, I think he's the one who stole my Resurrection Pill." Melna said firmly, "I've inquired about it. He's the proton sent by Chu State. He's the male favorite of the King of Qin. It's him—" She turned her head and saw Aslan looking at herself like a fool.

"You don't have a fever, do you?" Aslan folded his arms, "Since he is King Qin's male favourite, how could he appear outside the palace last night?"

"I doubt it too, but he has the same voice and the same outline, so my intuition can't be wrong!" The more Mierna thought about it, the more something went wrong, and she still felt that Wei Lian had a connection with the man in the blue shirt.Her intuition has always been accurate, and she believes this time will be no exception.

"Do you have any evidence?"

"……No."

"Don't speculate without evidence." Aslan warned, "King Qin's people, you can't move."

Melna pursed her lips and said nothing, but she never gave up the idea of ​​verification in her heart.

"Oh, that's right." Melna suddenly remembered something, "He also told me not to wear purple clothes, saying that King Qin didn't like this color. Why did he tell me this? Is it just out of good intentions?"

Mirna was in a tangle: "Will I blame him? But he really looks like the person last night..."

"...Then change your clothes." Aslan closed his eyes patiently.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, envoys from Chu State arrived in Qin Dynasty.

"My lord, where should I arrange the envoys of Chu State?" the female officer bowed and asked.

Sitting in front of the window, Wei Lian looked at the newly blooming flowers, and said casually, "Floating Cloud Pavilion."

"Also, Yan Kingdom is arranged in Ningyue Tower, Lu Kingdom Yulong Pavilion, Chen Country Tanxiang Pavilion, and Xia Country Shenshuiwu. You don't have to ask me about it later." Wei Lian made the arrangements at once by the way.

The female officer was about to break out in a cold sweat after hearing this: "Sir, don't you think about it anymore?"

In 200 years, most of the seven countries had civil wars.Among them, the state of Lu and the state of Chen are feuds, the state of Yan once attacked the state of Xia, and the state of Liang and the state of Chen have many quarrels.

As for the State of Chu, which is also in the Central Plains, it has always been the opponent of the State of Qin.

Yulong Pavilion and Tanxiang Pavilion live next to each other, facing Bixia Pavilion in front, and Shenshuiwu is behind Ningyue Tower.

Young Master, I'm afraid they won't fight.

"Don't think about it, just do it like this." Wei Lian turned his head.

It's good to fight.

He pointed to the fun.

"...No, I'll do it now, sir."

"Wait a minute."

The female officer stopped: "Master, have you changed your mind?"

Wei Lian asked, "Who came from Chu?"

He finally showed a little extra concern for his home country.

The female official replied: "The envoys are Prince Yan and the Taiwei of Chu State."

Wei Lian paused: "Understood, let's go down."

"promise."

After the female officer retreated, Wei Lian sat alone in the palace for a while, then got up and said, "Go to the Fuyun Pavilion to have a look."

Floating Cloud Pavilion.

"What kind of place is this? It's so small that people can live in it?" A handsome young man in Chinese clothes looked at the interior furnishings in distaste. "Is this how Qin treats guests?"

Another man with a resolute and handsome face said in a deep voice: "Ninth Young Master, we are not guests in Qin, please take your temper."

The son's mother is Concubine Yan, and the favor has not faded for ten years, so he spoiled the son to be lawless.It's okay to make trouble with him in Chu State, but I don't know what kind of bedside talk Yan Concubine blew to coax the King of Chu to agree to let the son be an envoy to Qin State.

It is indeed a great achievement to complete this matter, but it will be a disaster if it fails.Concubine Yan wanted her son to win glory, but she didn't think about how much he weighed.There is no doubt about this trip, if there is no mistake, the credit is all due to the young master, if there is anything wrong, it must be the Taiwei who accompanied him to take the blame.

The more Qiao Hongfei thought about it, the worse his mood became. In a country, from the king down to the son, they couldn't figure out the big things. What hope could there be for this country?

Of the many sons of the King of Chu, only the seventh son is a sensible person... It's a pity.Thinking of that handsome son, Qiao Hongfei couldn't help but sigh.

If the seventh son is the parent and son of Concubine Yan, why should he have to suffer the fate of Qin as a hostage.

Especially recently, it has been heard that the seventh son has become King Qin's prostitute... Even a bystander can't bear to see such a fairy figure being molested by others, let alone the younger brother whom his wife cares about.

Thinking about the situation of the seventh son, and seeing the arrogant and domineering ninth son in front of him, Qiao Hongfei felt a burst of depression in his heart.

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came, like a spring breeze, dispelling Qiao Hongfei's faint depression.

"Master Qiao, long time no see."

The young man in white leisurely entered, and it seemed that the room was brighter in an instant.

Wherever he went, he was radiant.

Qiao Hongfei was stunned for a long time before saying, "Seven, Mr. Seven."

He cupped his fists and bowed.

Wei Lian gave him a hand: "Lord Qiao, you don't need to be too polite."

This humble and polite attitude is very different from Wei Yan's bossy attitude along the way.

Qiao Hongfei took a closer look at Wei Lian. He didn't notice him just now, but now he realizes that the young man is graceful, good-looking, and surprisingly beautiful.

There is actually more freshness than in the past in Chu State.

Did King Qin treat him well?

"How is your son?" Qiao Hongfei said hoarsely.

"Everything is safe." Wei Lian replied warmly, "Where is sister? Is she all right?"

Wei Xiang married Qiao Hongfei at the age of 17, and it has been five years since then.The reason why Wei Lian and Qiao Hongfei are familiar is that on the eve of Wei Xiang's marriage, 14-year-old Wei Lian broke into Qiao's residence at night, put a broken knife on his neck, and said softly: "If you treat my sister badly, then Such a blade."

It was only then that Qiao Hongfei realized that the most hidden person in the palace was actually Young Master Lian.

After that, Qiao Hongfei really loved Wei Xiang in every possible way and never took a concubine.

"Princess is fine, but she misses you very much." Qiao Hongfei said.

Wei Xiang and Wei Lian were childhood playmates. Before Wei Lian was six years old, his best friend was his second sister Wei Xiang.However, after Ziwei Lian was adopted by Concubine Yan, his identities were different, and Wei Xiang and him only became acquaintances.

They belong to the same royal family, but their mothers have different identities, and their children are destined to be unequal.Wei Lian could not care, but Wei Xiang, who was bound by ethics since childhood, could not.

Even so, Wei Lian is still the younger brother that Wei Xiang misses the most.

It was her younger brother who built snowmen and released paper kites with her when she was young.

Wei Lian went to Qin State, and Chu State missed him the most, not King Chu, Concubine Yan, or Wei Yan.

It's Wei Xiang.

Before Qiao Hongfei left, Wei Xiang was still crying and snuggled into his arms, and said in a sobbing voice: "In the past when my concubine got married, A Lian wished, 'May my sister and my wife be of the same heart, raise their eyebrows together, have children around their knees, and live happily ever after'. Now my concubine is married. Well done, but he went to Qin State. I don’t know how many hardships he suffered. Husband went to Qin State, can you see how he is doing? If he is good, he will come back and tell his concubine, and he will feel at ease. If not Okay..." At this point, he was sobbing, and Qiao Hongfei was so frightened that he hugged his beloved wife in his arms and coaxed him.

Among the royal family, it is really rare to have such true love.

After hearing this, Wei Lian's heart warmed slightly. Before he could say anything, Wei Yan said in a strange voice: "Brother Wang hasn't seen you for a long time, and he didn't ask his father, mother, concubine, or me. Instead, he asked a servant. So it was in the heart of Brother Wang. , we can't compare to him?"

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, and his words became even worse: "I heard that Brother Wang has become King Qin's pet, what's the matter? How does it feel on the couch? Maybe King Qin will make Brother Wang happy?"

There are no secrets among the Seven Kingdoms, and it is not uncommon for each of them to place spies.The Palace of the King of Qin has the least number of nails, and some of them were deliberately left by Ji Yue to let them spread false news.

It was only later that Wei Lian learned that he was restrained by Li Fuquan's orders that day. Li Fuquan received thirty lashes, but those who obeyed his orders were executed with sticks.It was not to vent their anger on him, but those people were spies from a foreign country, and Ji Yue took the opportunity to get rid of them.

It is strange that the man whose tongue was cut off would scold "tyrant, Qin will perish if you are there" before he died.Ji Yue was called cruel only because he launched a war against the six kingdoms, but in Qin Kingdom, he was a beloved king.

How could the real Qin people scold him like this, and curse that Qin will perish?

Ji Yue is really... Outside of the battlefield, he never killed innocent people indiscriminately.

On the battlefield, no one is innocent.

Wei Yan made such insulting words, Wei Lian didn't change his face, but Qiao Hongfei was very angry.

If the seventh son hadn't endured the humiliation, how could it be your son Yan's turn to hide in the Chu Palace and enjoy peace!

As a young master, he disrespected his elder brother, and his words and deeds were vulgar. Compared with the seventh young master who was on the other side, he was really different.

Wei Lian smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's much better than your snap of your fingers."

Wei Yan is extravagant and licentious, and has been attracted to women since he was 13 years old. In the past two years, he often hangs out with women, but he is not capable enough in that area.There was a rumor that "it's over with a flick of a finger", and it was teased by the brothers for a long time.

It also became Wei Yan's lifelong shame.

"You!" Wei Yan was furious, but sneered again in a flash, "You can only talk about it. No matter how good I am, I won't be humiliated under a man's crotch. I don't know that you are serving others every day, Brother Wang. Does your butt hurt?"

Qiao Hongfei immediately said: "Young Master Ninth, be careful with your words."

Wei Yan scolded: "When will it be your turn to speak!"

Qiao Hongfei clenched his fists, restraining himself from making the next move.

Wei Lian remained calm, as if he was watching a clown.

He, the younger brother of the Ninth King, has been spoiled since he was a child, and Concubine Yan got a parent-child, so she naturally held it in her palm.Wei Yan got along with that group of cronies since he was a child, and a royal family came out of a group of dudes, and that was the dude among dudes.He doesn't have any royal etiquette, but he has learned a lot from the gangsters in the market.

As the elder brother, Wei Lian also warned him not to get close to villains.However, Wei Shengsheng was selfish and narrow-minded, always felt that Wei Lian had robbed his mother, and hated him very much.Since she was a child, she has been snatching and defending things everywhere, and abused them as much as she wanted if she didn't like them.Calling him a bastard, he came to snatch his mother when no one wanted it.

Concubine Yan has a little genuine affection for Wei Lian, but at this time she still always stands by her son's side.

After many times, Wei Lian no longer cared about the mother and son.

In the beginning, it was an exchange of benefits, and no one owed anyone.

He owes them nothing.

In the old days in Chu State, Wei Lian didn't care about Wei Yan when he thought about Concubine Yan.Now in the state of Qin, Wei Yan's nature has not changed, he will teach Wei Yan to be a man.

It's just that you don't need to do it yourself.

Now he has a husband, hum.

He went to cry with Ji Xiaoyue.
