An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Melna sat on the tree, looking at the tragic pig slaughtering scene below, and turned her eyes away without interest.

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a white skirt.

The whole person immediately cheered up.

It can be regarded as being caught by her, so I must try again!

Melna performed lightness kung fu, and her figure passed through the branches extremely quickly.

The people below didn't notice it.Even if someone looks up occasionally, they can only see the rustling leaves, as if they have just been blown by a gust of wind.

Wei Lian originally wanted to go back to Zhongling Palace, but suddenly heard the soft rustling of leaves, paused his footsteps, turned around and walked straight to a secluded place.

Walking to a place where no one was around, Melna jumped off the tree suddenly and appeared in front of Wei Lian.

She was wearing a red dress, with a crescent-shaped blood jade on her forehead, and her veil fluttered in the wind, which was very exotic.

Wei Lian pretended to be surprised: "Miss Mai?"

"...What Miss Mai!" Melna almost lost her footing, "My surname is Wu Ruolan, and my name is Melna Wu Ruolan!"

Wei Lian said politely, "Miss, what do you want me for?"

Melna's fingers dyed bright red Kodan wrapped around the braid hanging in front of her body, her beautiful eyes flickered: "I'm here to thank you."

"Oh?"

"Thank you for reminding me yesterday." Melna tossed her braids, picked up the skirt and twirled around in front of Wei Lian, rippling layers upon layers, like a bright red flower.

"Is it good?" Melania asked.

Wei Lian: "...it's pretty."

But what does that have to do with him.

"You said not to wear purple clothes, so I changed them specially." Melna smiled brightly, "You are such a good person."

The good guy said: "..."

So what does this saintly woman want to do?

Wei Lian soon knew the answer.

"His-"

Two brightly colored little snakes with tongues sticking out wandered out of the grass and approached the two of them silently.

Wei Lian had already heard the movement, but still pretended not to notice.

He is "without the power to restrain a chicken", how could he have such a keen insight.

Seeing that he did not respond for a long time, Melna rolled her eyes, her face turned pale, and said in horror: "Ah! There is a snake!"

She was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Wei Lian: "My lord, save me!"

It's time like this, it's time to protect yourself, right?

If Wei Lian was the man in Tsing Yi, with such high martial arts, he would definitely not sit still.

Melna felt that the plan was very ingenious.

But when Wei Lian saw those two snakes, his reaction was bigger than hers.

The young man's face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly hid behind Melna: "I'm sorry girl, I'm also afraid of snakes!"

Myrna was dumbfounded: "Why are you hiding behind me? You're not a man anymore!"

Wei Lian's voice trembled a little: "I was bitten by a snake when I was a child, and I really dare not see a snake. Girl, you block it here first, and I'll call the guards!"

Myrna: "..."

Do you speak human words?

Melna quickly moved her fingertips slightly, and the two little snakes retreated quietly again.

"Hey, it's all right, those two snakes seem to have left." Melna looked back at the handsome young man with a pale complexion, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

Well, she's sure, this is definitely not the same person as Shang Yuan Ye.

That person is so capable, how could he be so...so soft and weak.

Since she recognized the wrong person, it is really not kind of her to scare him into such a state.

Wei Lian asked cautiously, "Are you really gone?"

"It's all right."

Only then did Wei Lian heave a sigh of relief, and instantly moved a few feet away from Melna, and said gently, "Sorry, I'm sorry."

Myrna: "...You're welcome."

Wei Lian bowed again: "Then I will go back to the palace."

Myrna: "...walk slowly."

Watching the back of the young man flying away, Melna fell into confusion.

"It's so annoying!" Melna kicked the stones on the ground angrily, and scratched her hair frantically, "Which bastard stole my Resurrection Pill!!!"

And Wei Lian, who was stamped by Melna, was weak and weak, after walking a certain distance, he pinched the two little snakes that came out of the rock crevice without changing his face.

The little snake was wrapped around his wrist, hissing out the snake letter, and looking directly at Wei Lian with its icy snake eyes.

Wei Lian squatted on the ground, holding Qicun tightly with one hand, and resting his cheek with the other.He scrutinized it carefully for a while, then said softly: "Snake control, witchcraft, resurrection pill...Liang country is a very interesting place."

He got up and flicked his sleeves, threw the two snakes on the ground, and looked up to see the warm sunlight piercing through the clouds.

He narrowed his eyes.

"But Qin Palace is not so boring anymore."

In the next two days, the states of Lu, Chen, and Xia arrived one after another, but only the state of Yan was still on the way.

The country of Yan is a country in the sea, and traveling needs a fleet of sailing ships.The wind and waves at sea are unpredictable, and it is understandable that it will take more time.

Wei Lian had already arranged their respective residences, and he didn't care too much after that.As for the friction between the envoys of various countries who have always had grievances, he doesn't care even more.

He nestled in Zhongling Palace, leaning comfortably on the imperial concubine's couch, drinking freshly brewed scented tea and eating cakes newly made by the Imperial Dining Room, feeling very comfortable.

This is called a fairy day.

Changshou told him interesting stories that happened in the palace: "Prince Yeludan of Lu had a fight with Prince Chen Huyan Kemu as soon as he arrived. The fight was earth-shattering and destroyed many flowers and plants in the palace."

Those two countries are feuds, and the enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, so it's strange if they don't fight.

Wei Lian arranged the residences of the envoys of the two countries next door, which can be described as... sinister.

Wei Lian picked up a piece of pastry: "Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs send them the account books, and count all the damaged things, not a penny is missing."

Changshou knew that his young master liked to watch theatre, so he only listened to the ones he was interested in: "Those two were fighting in the palace, so they were naturally persuaded by the guards. A truce was not enough. We don't understand their own language, so we dare not ask."

Wei Lian took a sip of scented tea: "Continue."

Changshou continued: "The two big men scolded evenly, who would have thought that at this moment the Holy Maiden of the Kingdom of Liang would suddenly come and help Prince Yelu scold Prince Huyan to the point of blood."

Wei Lian chuckled: "She's not helping Yeludan. The Huyan tribe used to be the grassland Tutar tribe. They once led iron cavalry to break through the twelve regions of the southern border. This feud is irreconcilable."

He asked curiously, "What happened next?"

"It turned out wonderful later." Changshou was dumbfounded when he said this, "Then Prince Yelu seemed to have fallen in love with the Holy Maiden of the Liang Kingdom. What's even more surprising is that the scolded Prince Huyan also seemed to have a crush on the Holy Maiden of the Liang Kingdom! Fighting for a woman and fighting again, the saint of Liang Guo sat on the tree to watch the fun, and said that whoever wins the fight, she will belong to him tonight... The two princes beat their heads so badly that even ten cows could not hold them back. "

Changshou murmured: "This saint is too...too profligate." Women in the land of Qin and Chu are reserved and gentle, how can they be so bold and bold?

As expected of Melna, Daliang's most charming and passionate witch.

Seducing men has always been a disadvantage, and he has suffered from Ji Yue and Wei Lian.

Wei Lian picked up another piece of plum cake: "Is there anything else interesting?"

"Interesting, interesting..." Changshou racked his brains, and suddenly slapped his head, "There is no interesting, but there is a happy event."

"I saw an imperial doctor rushing to the imperial study on the road today, son, is King Qin ill? Once he is ill, there is no time to bother you!" Changshou felt that this was a great joy.

Unexpectedly, the son of his family who has been listening to the good show, immediately put away his casual expression, stood up and said: "Is he sick?"

"Yes, sir—" Changshou noticed Wei Lian's solemn expression, and the joy on his face faded, "My lord, you, are you unhappy?"

Wei Lian threw the pastry into the plate, got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

"Hey, young master!" Changshou watched Wei Lian disappear at the door, and stared back blankly at the half-eaten pastry on the plate, "Why do I feel that young master is a bit..."

He shook his head violently and hypnotized himself: "An illusion, it must be an illusion."

Wei Lian rushed all the way to the imperial study room, and when he saw the door, he stopped abruptly.

...Why is he running here in such a hurry?

What can Ji Yue do.

But he has come here, there is absolutely no reason to return without success, and he is not happy to make a trip in vain.

Wei Lian slowed down and walked up Danchi slowly. The guards clasped their fists and saluted him: "My lord."

Wei Lian asked: "Your Majesty is discussing matters with ministers?"

The guard replied, "No."

Very good, you can go straight in.

Wei Lian pushed the door open without saying a word and entered.

The new guard's footsteps moved slightly, and he was thinking whether to stop him, when the guard on the opposite side gave him a wink.

The newcomer looked bewildered: shouldn't he be allowed to wait outside first, and I'll go in to communicate?

The eyes on the opposite side are full of "you don't understand".

That is the most favored nobleman in the palace, why should I stop him?Not to mention that there was a precedent for His Majesty to be lucky with the young master in the imperial study, the young master broke in suddenly two days ago, did His Majesty blame it?Not only did he not blame him, he even coaxed him into his arms for a long time.

When they came out, the lingering love between the two of them made even a guard of him want to get married.

Wei Lian went in without warning, Ji Yue didn't know what he was busy with, when he saw him, he immediately put the things on his hands aside, and took a memorial to cover it.

"You are becoming more and more unruly. Can you enter the imperial study room if you want?" Ji Yue scolded.

Wei Lian looked at him: "Can't I?"

"……can."

Wei Lian's eyes suddenly fell on his hand: "Your hand?"

He stepped forward quickly, grabbed Ji Yue's wrist, and quickly felt his pulse quietly.

The pulse condition is stable and very healthy.

Then... Wei Lian stared complicatedly at the small cut made by Ji Yue's fingertips.

If he had come later, the wound would have healed.

Did Ji Yue send the imperial physician just for such a small wound?

The previous worries seemed to feed Ah Meng.

Not really, really not.

The king of Qin is a golden and iron horse, and has suffered countless injuries, large and small, on the battlefield, so he will not be too weak to go to war.

"How did you do it?" Wei Lian asked.

Ji Yue said uncomfortably: "Cough... I was accidentally scratched by the memorial."

Wei Lian gave him a contemptuous look: "How old is he, yet he is so careless."

Just as Ji Yue was about to reply, "Aren't you still crying at your age", when the young man lowered his head and put his fingers into his rose-colored soft mouth.

The tip of the tongue licked the wound, itching slightly.

Still a little crispy.

Ji Yue's eyes flickered, and his face quickly turned red from his neck to his ears.

I'm sorry, it's not that he is full of confusion.It was really such a situation that it was too easy for him to recall the scene of the drunk young man putting his fingertips in his mouth that night.

Who can stand this.

So, Wei Lian let go of Ji Yue's fingers, and was surprised to find that there seemed to be... something strange under Ji Yue.

Can you tease people like this just by biting your fingers?Those who didn't know thought he was licking...

What does this usually have to be like.

Wei Lian felt a little sympathy.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then said softly, "I'll stay tonight."

... He actually.

Not too contradictory.
