An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Li Fuquan wanted to cry but had no tears.

He was serving here so well, why did the fire still burn on him?

"Your Majesty..." Li Fuquan wondered, "I don't know how to ride a horse."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see who Huyan Kemu really wants to make things difficult for.

"It's true. Why is Prince Huyan embarrassing an eunuch?" Ji Yue said naturally, "There are many generals in this hall, who is willing to take orders?"

When Xi Zhongli stood up, several generals raised their fists and stood up: "I beg your orders!"

It was so lightly resolved.

Huyan Kemu was extremely unwilling: "Your Majesty King Qin, I'm not talking about your eunuch."

"Otherwise, who else is beside Gu?" Ji Yue seemed puzzled.

Huyan Kemu gritted his teeth: "The one on your right..." Isn't he human?

What a big one!

"You mean Wei Lang?" Ji Yue was even more puzzled, "You said that there are many capable people in my state of Qin, and Wei Lang is not from Qin, but from Chu. What does this have to do with him?"

Huyan Kemu: "..."

After thousands of calculations, he didn't realize that the little boy was not from Qin.

As soon as Ji Yue finished speaking, Wei Lian couldn't hold back a chuckle.

With this smile, everything pales.

It is actually more touching than Princess Chonghua's dance.

Wei Lian could feel Ji Yue's protection of him, so he was very happy.

But he is not someone who only hides behind Ji Yue.

Huyan Kemu seemed to be a rough old man, but in fact, there were subtleties in the roughness, and countless traps were set in his words.

——The state of Qin has many capable people, so if you pick any one at random, you will surely be able to surrender.

In front of the envoys of various countries, Qin State was praised to the sky and held in the clouds like this, but at this time, the people Huyan Kemu picked out "randomly" could not complete this task. Wouldn't it be that Qin State was thrown away in public? face.

——Even my seven-year-old little sister, Huyan Tuya, can ride a pony on the grassland.

These words blocked Wei Lian's retreat from the very beginning.If he refused on the grounds that he couldn't ride a horse, he would admit that a man who was nearly grown up in Daqin was not as good as a seven-year-old girl on the grassland.

How can such a huge country lose face?

In this situation, he can only admit that he is incompetent without revealing the fact that he can equestrian.And what he recognized was Qin's incompetence.

If he and Ji Yue were just ordinary concubines and kings, it would definitely cause Ji Yue's dislike and fall out of favor.As soon as he fell out of favor, Princess Chonghua's opportunity came.

Huyan Kemu's goal of venting his anger for Princess Chonghua has also been achieved.

Except for Wei Yan's embroidered pillow, none of the people who can sit on the seats of the Seven Kingdoms today is good.

It's just that the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high. Ji Yue said "Wei Lang is not from Qin", and cleverly resolved the situation that Huyan Kemu had carefully laid out.

It's just that he doesn't need to.

This battle, Wei Lian can win more beautifully.

"Since I married Your Majesty." Wei Lian opened his lips, "Naturally, I will be from Qin from now on."

Ji Yue paused and winked at him.

What is Wei Lian doing?

Now is not the time to show affection.Wei Lian is a smart person, so he will not fail to understand that he is helping him out.He just fished him out of the vortex, why did Wei Lian jump back by himself?

Wei Lian just pretended not to see Ji Yue's wink: "After three days, I will tame the horse by myself."

Ji Yue: "..."

"Wei Lian!" Ji Yue let out a low voice, almost having a heart attack.

This is no joke.

Wei Lian doesn't know equestrian skills, even if he can do it within three days, he can just ride an ordinary horse with a gentle temperament, how can he control a strong horse?

This is playing with your own life!

Wei Lian only looked at him: "Your Majesty is a faithful minister."

Ji Yue: "..."

It's not a matter of believing it or not.In other matters, he naturally believed in Wei Lian unconditionally, but he could subdue the fierce horse?This is equivalent to starting to run before learning to walk. Ji Yue will not be blind anyway.

Seeing that Wei Lian responded, Huyan Kemu was afraid that he would go back on his word, and immediately said: "Okay! I knew that His Majesty the King of Qin is very courageous, and there will certainly be no cowardly people around him. I will wait for you in the racecourse in three days. The demeanor of a galloping horse!"

Originally King Qin defended it, but he thought it was a dead end.Who would have thought that this little fair-faced body is weak and his head is not working well, so he would jump into the fire pit by himself.

Don't do porcelain work without diamonds.This little boy probably doesn't even know how to get on the horse's back, right?If he could not subdue the red-maned horse in three days, Qin would be reduced to a laughing stock in private.

Wei Lian couldn't afford to lose.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant for a while.King Qin was in a displeased mood, and anyone could have noticed it.

Wei Lian, who was sitting next to Ji Yue, could feel it even more. Ji Yue's body was written with "unhappy alone, very unhappy alone", and the low air pressure lingered all over his body.

Wei Lian had no doubt that Ji Yue wanted to kill Huyan Kemu on the spot.

Just not on this occasion.

Although Qin is strong, it can suppress all countries one by one. If the six countries work together, it will be a tough battle for Qin.

The reason why the six countries have not united so far is because they themselves have many disputes.For example, Liang Guo and Chen Guo do not share the same hatred, and it is absolutely impossible to join forces unless they are pushed to a desperate situation.And there are not a few bloody enemies among the six countries, and there is a huge gap in itself. If they are on guard against each other and cannot trust each other, how can there be cooperation?

A plate of loose sand is nothing to be afraid of.

What is desperate situation?

It was the time when King Qin decided to completely destroy the six kingdoms.

Now is not the time.Qin has been fighting for many years, laboring people and money, and also needs to recuperate.

That's why Ji Yue couldn't tear his face apart in public and let the loose sand condense and turn into a sandstorm and sweep across Qin.

As a king, every move has his own considerations.

But also because of these concerns, Ji Yue could only watch Wei Lian take over the hot potato, and naturally his mood was not much better.

Wei Lian called out: "Your Majesty."

Ji Yue: "Hmph."

Wei Lian quietly tugged at his sleeve under the table: "Don't be angry."

Ji Yue turned to the other side: "Hmph."

Wei Lian picked up a grape from the fruit plate, peeled it slowly, and then handed the crystal clear and round flesh to Ji Yue's lips: "Taste it."

Ji Yue opened his mouth and swallowed the grapes. After swallowing, he still didn't forget that he was still angry, so he added: "Huh."

If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, Wei Lian would have laughed out loud on the spot.

Ji is three years old, are you naive?

"You believe I have a sense of proportion." Wei Lian said, "I won't embarrass you."

"What's the point of being ashamed?" Ji Yue glanced sideways at him, then turned back, and said in a low voice, "...you're fine."

He only hated the last time he said that he wanted to teach Wei Lian how to ride a horse, why he didn't fulfill it so long, so that now he only has three days to cram.

Even though Ji Yue was the reincarnation of Zhuge, he couldn't think of a way to solve this situation.He can tame the red-maned horse, but after three days, before the envoys from the six countries, it must be Wei Lian who mounts the horse himself.The red-maned horse could recognize him, but not others.

If the beast dared to throw Wei Lian off the horse, he would be the first to chop off its head.

The brilliance in Wei Lian's eyes flashed: "Are you not angry with me?"

Ji Yue immediately said: "Get angry!"

"Then," Wei Lian picked up a bottle of wine, "I have a full drink, and I have the right to apologize to Your Majesty."

A drunk solution to a thousand worries.You can not only skip the step of taking the medicine tonight, but also avoid Ji Yue's fate after the banquet.

He is so smart.

Wine is such a good thing.

"Don't!" Ji Yue turned around in horror, only to see that Wei Lian had already drank the whole glass of wine.

Wei Lian raised his hand to wipe the wine stains on his lips: "Don't what?"

"..."

The wine at the banquet was not as strong as Ji Yue specially prepared last time, so Wei Lian was still able to stay sober.

"This wine...is pretty good." Wei Lian paused, and then wanted to fill it up again, "Have another drink."

Then he went and got the grapes in the saucer.

Ji Yue: "..."

He felt that Wei Lian was not very sober now.

Wei Lian took the grapes and wanted to put them in his mouth before peeling them. Ji Yue quickly snatched the grapes: "You can't eat them directly."

The grapes have been washed, so they can be eaten with the skins on, but in Wei Lian's case, Ji Yue was afraid that he would swallow the seeds along with the skins.

Wei Lian raised his drunken eyes: "Give me the wine."

Ji Yue: "...these are grapes."

"Don't take my drink."

"It's grapes."

"Why are you like this? You don't drink when you have wine, and you insist on robbing me."

Ji Yue: "..." What is he arguing with a drunk?

Ji Yue quickly peeled the grapes and fed them into Wei Lian's mouth: "Here you go, your wine."

Wei Lian chewed slowly for a while, then spat out two grape seeds into the plate, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why does this wine still have lees?"

Ji Yue's mouth twitched.

Not bad, I also know how to spit seeds.

Wei Lian finally couldn't hold it anymore, his eyelids were drowsy, his body tilted, and he fell asleep quietly leaning on Ji Yue's shoulder.

When the young man's head was on the pillow, Ji Yue paused, and gently supported Wei Lian: "Ah Lian?"

The young man closed his eyes and lowered his long eyelashes, sleeping peacefully.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall could not disturb his peaceful sleep.

Ji Yue raised his hand to signal for silence.

The music stopped abruptly.

"Gu is tired today, the banquet is over." Ji Yue said in a low voice.

Everyone: "..."

We are not blind, it is not you who are lacking, but the young master who has fallen asleep in your arms, we can see it.

Of course, no one would say it so blankly, they all stood up and saluted: "Respectfully send your majesty away."

Ji Yue carried Wei Lian out of the Golden Luan Hall, and ordered no one to follow.

He was really afraid that Wei Lian would do something when he was drunk, and it would be bad for others to see him.

Once outside the hall, the cold wind blew, and Wei Lian woke up again.

After waking up, he struggled immediately: "Ji Yue, let me down. I don't want you to hug me."

Ji Yue put him down with a dark face: "What's the matter? Gu can't hug you anymore?"

Wei Lian stood in front of him, tilted his head slightly, but his cold voice was soft and waxy: "I want you to carry me on your back."

Ji Yue was expressionless.

Every time Wei Xiaolian gets drunk, he dares to be ten times more presumptuous.

Wei Lian put his arms around his neck and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Are you okay?"

Ji Yue sighed, and squatted down with his back to Wei Lian: "Come up."

He doesn't like to show his back to others without defense, for fear that a cold knife will be swung behind him.

But if it's Wei Lian.

It doesn't matter.

Like a child who has eaten candy, Wei Lian showed a satisfied smile and happily jumped on Ji Yue's back.

His body looks thin, but he should have a lot of strength, and his back is quite heavy.

Ji Yue is naturally out of the question.

He adjusted his posture a little, and then lifted the person on his back.

The faint moonlight shone down, reflecting two pairs of long figures on the ground.

The young man in black clothes, the young man in white clothes, walked steadily step by step.

The young man in white clothes lay on the man's back and said in a low voice: "When I was young... when I was very young, I also fantasized about riding a big horse on the head of my father."

"But I found out later that I could only kneel down when I saw him."

"I thought kings were like this."

"Keji Xiaoyue, you are different."

Ji Yue kept walking, but the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Oh? What's the difference?"

Wei Lian thought about it seriously, then leaned his head down and whispered in his ear, "I only like you."

The vast sea of ​​people, all living beings.

I only like you.
