An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Wei Lian finally returned to Zhongling Palace at night, but Ji Yue did everything possible to keep him.

In the middle of the night, Ji Yue stayed in the vacant room sullenly, like a boudoir who had been abandoned by her husband.

How did things become like this.

It has always been the concubines who tried every means to make the king stay overnight in their own palace, but he was lucky, it was his way to let Wei Lian stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Haven't been successful yet.

Lose all the face of being a king.

But face is such a thing, if you throw it away, you will get used to it.

The next day, the racetrack.

Wei Lian changed into a strong attire that was convenient for riding a horse, and his black hair was gently tied up with a jade-white headband.

The young master, who was as cold as a fairy, showed a bit of youthful air in fresh clothes and angry horses.

"My lord, your Majesty will come right away." The palace man said respectfully.

Wei Lian nodded and looked into the distance.

He didn't wait long when he heard the sound of "cracking" horseshoes.Wei Lian looked back and saw a young man in riding clothes coming on horseback, handsome and heroic.

Riding on a tall and vigorous black horse, he is arrogant and arrogant.

It's another look from the calm and restrained in front of the minister.

"Woo!" Before getting close to Wei Lian, Ji Yue reined in to prevent the dust from the horse's hoof from choking Wei Lian.

Ji Yue didn't get off the horse, but slowly drove the horse up to Wei Lian, and stretched out a hand to him: "Come up."

Wei Lian glanced at him and reached out to put his hand on it.As soon as Ji Yue exerted his strength, he pulled the young man onto the horse's back.

Wei Lian sat in front of Ji Yue, who happened to be in his arms.

"Has your body recovered? Is there anything strange while sitting?" Ji Yue asked in a low voice.

Wei Lian replied softly, "No problem."

When Ji Yue got the answer, he felt relieved, shouted "Drive!", and galloped out.

In the ear is the whistling wind.

It was a little cold to blow on the face, but the embrace behind her was thick and warm.Ji Yue held the rein in one hand, and wrapped around Wei Lian's waist with the other, asking people to grab the rope in front of him firmly.

Sitting on the horse, Wei Lian felt the scenery on both sides receding rapidly, and for a moment thought he and Ji Yue were on the endless prairie.There, wild geese passed by in the sky, the sky was as blue as a wash, and cattle and sheep flocked.They rode their horses and swung their whips, galloping recklessly, and what they breathed was free air.

That was what Wei Lian had always wanted.

It's just that the racetrack of the palace is not as big as the grassland, and this imagination has not been extended, and the lap has already been completed.Ji Yue got off the horse and reached out to him again, trying to pull him down.

Wei Lian withdrew his thoughts in time, stepped on the stirrups and jumped off the horse.

"Are you afraid?" Ji Yue asked.

Wei Lian shook his head: "Not afraid. Very..." He thought for a while, "Very happy."

At that moment, he was happy.

"It's good not to be afraid. If you are afraid, you have to overcome your fear. I'm afraid it will be difficult in two days." Ji Yue ordered someone to bring Xiaohong, and of course, Ah Meng was also brought along.

When Xiao Hong came, she was still high-spirited, but when she saw Ah Meng, she instantly became listless, listless, and very melancholy.

In contrast, the black horse Ji Yue just rode had no fear of A Meng, and even bowed his head to greet A Meng very familiarly.

Ah Meng licked the black horse's nose with her tongue, her attitude was unexpectedly intimate and gentle.

Wei Lian was surprised: "A Meng and Xiao Hei seem to have a good relationship."

Ji Yue: "...it's not called Xiao Hei."

Wei Lian: "Oh?"

Ji Yue said: "It's called Xiaobai."

Wei Lian: "..."

"But it's a dark horse?" Wei Lian doubted Ji Yue's ability to choose a name.

Although he named Xiaohong a bit vulgar, but Xiaohong is indeed a bay red horse, worthy of the name.

And what about Ji Yue?He calls a ferocious dog Ah Meng, and a black horse Xiao Bai.

It is simply the highest state of talking nonsense with open eyes.

Ji Yue said: "Its four hooves are white."

Xiaobai's whole body is black except for his four hooves which are all white.

Wei Lian said, "You might as well call it snow treading."

"Treading snow is too common. Nine out of ten snow-treading horses are called Treading snow." Ji Yue disagreed, "An isolated horse should naturally have a unique name."

Wei Lian was expressionless.

So, what makes the name Xiaobai so unique?

This is as rampant as there must be a dog named Rhubarb in every village.

If it's unique, it's true, at least give a dark horse Xiaobai, Wei Lian can't find a second one in the whole world.

"Then call it dark clouds." Wei Lian said.

Wuyun treading snow, called Wuyun is also very good.

Ji Yue pointed at Xiaohong: "Then why don't you call it Huoshaoyun?"

"..."

Wei Lian gave up on the name dispute with Ji Yue.

"Xiaobai is a war horse, and has been with Gu on the battlefield for many years." Ji Yue patted Xiaobai's head, "and Ah Meng are very close partners."

Ah Meng nodded immediately.

"But from now on, Xiao Hong will also be your partner." Ji Yue said again.

He had already made up his mind that when Wei Lian learned how to ride a horse, he would give Wei Lian the tamed Xiaohong as a mount.

Ah Meng looked at Xiaohong in distaste, and let out a ferocious "Wow".

Xiaohong was very angry, but she had no choice but to dig the soil on the ground depressed.

Xiaobai walked up to Xiaohong gently, rubbed its head, and told it not to be afraid, Ah Meng was just trying to scare it.

To subdue a horse requires both hard and soft tactics. Violence alone cannot really make a fierce horse willing, and it will go crazy and backlash at any time, hurting its owner.

Since it was decided to let Xiao Hong be Wei Lian's mount, Ji Yue of course would not leave this hidden danger to Wei Lian.

The first step is to start by arranging a small partner for Xiaohong.

Xiaohong was comforted by the same kind, and was moved to tears.

The two horses initially developed a good friendship.

Ji Yue is very satisfied.

Next, he can teach Wei Lian how to ride a horse.

Wei Lian originally wanted Ji Yue to see what it means to be a genius who knows how to read it once.

But then I thought it wasn't necessary.

Ji Yue's insight is really sharp, and his thoughts are meticulous. If he reveals his flaws, it would be bad if he finds out that he is actually very skilled.

If we follow the vine further and find out his hidden skills...

The risk is too great, it is better to keep a low profile.

At the critical moment, Wei Lian still chose to conceal it.

Ji Yue never gave him the antidote, and he would not take the initiative to ask.And if the antidote is not given to him for a day, Wei Lian will not be completely unreserved for a day.

This seems to be an unsolved problem between the two.

Right now, Wei Lian can only pretend to be unskilled.

But it is also very difficult for people to accidentally do something wrong that has already been handy.

If you are not careful, you will use too much force.

So in the next half day, Ji Yue saw what a fool is.

The specific manifestations are: as soon as Ji Yue let go of his hand, he stopped at stepping on the stirrup and did not dare to get on the horse, forcing Ji Yue to hug the person up; when he got on the horse, he did not dare to pull the rein and chose to hug the horse's neck, and Ji Yue caught him when he fell off the horse At least three times; after finally pulling the reins but not daring to swing the whip, the reason was that the horse would hurt too cruelly, so Ji Yue gave psychological counseling for a long time; after waving the whip, Xiaohong fell gently and didn't hurt or itch, and didn't move at all, Ji Yue was so angry Roaring and exerting force, like a midwife...

To sum it up in four words, exhausted.

In the end, Wei Lian finally "learned" to pull the rein to make the horse walk a few steps slowly, and when he got off the horse, he proudly asked, "I'm good!"

Against his will, Ji Yue said: "... Awesome, Wei Lang is really a genius."

Wei Lian was shocked by Ji Yue's standards.

Is this all genius?

Is he not pretending to be stupid enough?

In fact, this level is really quite powerful.A person who doesn't know how to ride a horse at all can ride a horse alone in only half a day, and the progress is already amazing.

But how did Ji Yue learn it in the first place?

He is self-taught.

So looking at it for half a day, Ji Yue was very desperate.

But no matter what, he couldn't say "Why are you so stupid" to Wei Lian.

Praise is over.

At this moment, Li Fuquan hurried over and whispered a whisper to Ji Yue.

Ji Yue's expression remained unchanged, he just raised his head and said to Wei Lian, "I have something important to go back to the imperial study, and I'll come see Wei Lang when I'm done."

Wei Lian's smile faded away, and he bent down and saluted.

Ji Yue hurried away with a group of palace people.

When Ji Yue walked away, Wei Lian straightened up, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Fuquan's words were whispered, but he had deep inner strength and could hear them clearly.

What he said was—General Xie is back.

Ji Yue was able to sweep the six countries, naturally not only by his strength alone.After eradicating the party of foreign relatives, Ji Yue abolished the hereditary system, created the imperial examination, and recruited wise men from all over the world.There are many capable people in the Qin Dynasty, and all of them are confidantes who were promoted by Ji Yue and only obey him.

Xie Chen is a fierce general of the Qin State, a 15-year-old champion of martial arts, and now he is worthy of the championship. He has been fighting with the King of Qin for several years and made countless contributions.

This time Qin Lian broke Chu's three barriers of protection, it was Ji Yue's order and Xie Chen's soldiers.

Although the state of Chu sent protons to stop the war, the three lost cities could not be recovered.Xie Chen has been guarding the newly conquered city for the past few days, arranging defenses to eliminate future troubles, and now he has stabilized, and finally returned to the court.

It's no wonder that Ji Yue went to meet him immediately.

Wei Lian is not a person who doesn't understand the general situation, and understands that Ji Yue's business is important, but he is just talking about it out of selfishness, being left halfway is not a happy thing after all.The relaxation and joy of half a day faded away, and it became dull in an instant.

Wei Lian was so bored that he left his horse and left.

On the way to Qinyuan Lake, everything revives in early spring, the ice on the lake has melted, the lake is flowing, and the blue waves are rippling.

Wei Lian stood by the lake for a while, remembering that in winter he teased Ji Yue to lie on the ice and beg for carp, but Ji Yue grabbed his hand and pulled him to catch fish on the ice.

The thick layer of ice was shaken away by internal force, and he nearly fell into the water, but was pulled into Ji Yue's arms again.

At that time, the cold winter wind cut my face, but my heart was beating violently.

It's not the wind, it's the heart.

"Young Master Wei is also admiring the lake water?" Princess Chonghua asked in surprise.

She changed into a light yellow skirt again today, she was pretty and beautiful.

Wei Lian frowned.

How is she everywhere.

Wei Lian, who had just been abandoned by Ji Yue, was not in a good mood, and his speech was not so polite.

He said gently: "It's just passing by. The princess enjoyed the flowers yesterday and the lake today, don't you..."

Princess Chonghua thought that what the young man wanted to say was "Are you too elegant?" After all, Wei Lian seemed to be well educated.

However, what Wei Lian said was: "Have you never seen the world?"

Rewarding this and that every day, what's so good about it.

Princess Chonghua: "..."

She still had a slight liking for Wei Lian at first.When Wei Lian appeared on the stage, Mr. Pianpian was astonished as a man of heaven, with such a stunning appearance, it is rare for a woman not to be moved.

But Wei Lian is not as powerful as King Qin, and when he appeared on the stage, he would refute her face, and kept her from stepping down several times. He was still her rival in love.

Princess Chonghua now has nothing but disgust for Wei Lian.

No matter how godly and beautiful she is, as soon as she thinks that she is nothing more than a pet on King Qin's couch, she will feel sick for a while.

Of course, Wei Lian didn't like Princess Chonghua either.

He has a keen mind and can perceive the kindness and malice that others radiate towards him.Chonghua has no good intentions for him, so he will not repay kindness with kindness.

"Why is Mr. Wei so mean to Chonghua?" Princess Chonghua said aggrievedly, "It's not like a gentleman."

Wei Lian wanted to say that he could be more mean, but she was afraid that she would jump into the lake and commit suicide if she couldn't bear the humiliation.

But before she could say anything, Princess Chonghua saw something, and suddenly took a big step forward, Wei Lian was about to step back and say "stay away from me", Princess Chonghua fell headfirst into the lake.

Wei Lian: "...?"

He didn't say anything yet, why did she jump into the lake and commit suicide?

When he turned his head and saw Ji Yue and another young man standing behind him, he suddenly understood.

Frame him as a low-level frame-up for pushing people into the water.

Wei Lian had seen this method at least [-] times in the Chu Palace, how could anyone not get tired of it.

Can the palace fighting methods in the world be a little new?

"Help!" Princess Chonghua thumped in the water.

The young man beside Ji Yue frowned, and ordered "Save someone", immediately a guard jumped into the water and rescued Princess Chonghua.

Princess Chonghua was rescued and lay on the shore, dying.She was born beautiful, and the way she was crying was even more like pear blossoms with rain, which made me feel pity.

When she saw Ji Yue, she changed her kneeling posture and cried out, "Your Majesty! You have to decide for Chonghua! Mr. Wei, Chonghua knows his mistake and shouldn't compete with you for His Majesty, but how could you make it out of jealousy?" Chonghua pushed into the water and took Chonghua's life!"

Wei Lian watched her performance with great interest.

Well, a wicked person will report first.

"If His Majesty hadn't ordered to save me, Chonghua would have drowned at the bottom of the lake today!" Princess Chonghua cried more and more sadly, kneeling in front of Ji Yue, weeping and kowtowing, "Chonghua is a princess of a country after all. Although the country is a tiny country, it will never allow anyone to bully it! Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision."

She wasn't completely out of her mind, she knew that Wei Lian was favored, so she didn't directly ask King Qin to deal with Wei Lian.But moving out of the country of Yan and rising to the level of the two countries, every line in the words means that Wei Lian will be unlucky.

She was sure that she had grasped the angle extremely accurately, in the eyes of King Qin, it must be Wei Lian who pushed her into the lake, Wei Lian was absolutely unable to argue.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even the envoys of the Yan Kingdom have not left, can the King of Qin still cover it?

Besides, what King Qin likes is Wei Lian's weak and innocent appearance. If he knew that Wei Lian was a vicious, jealous, vicious person who took people's lives, would he still love him like that?

Although this plan is clichéd, it is useful.

At such a critical juncture, Wei Lian was not in a hurry to defend himself, but instead corrected her and said, "Your Majesty did not order you to be rescued. It was this general who ordered to save you."

If it was Ji Yue, Wei Lian felt that he might watch Princess Chonghua sink with him.

And the one next to Ji Yue, whose armor has not been removed yet, young and handsome, with a strong aggressive spirit, should be General Xie.

Xie Chen didn't know what happened, but he just let someone rescue him when he saw someone falling into the water, he couldn't let a life happen in front of His Majesty.

His Majesty did not speak, and he would not speak.

Ji Yue looked down at the woman who was kneeling in a mess at his feet. Princess Chonghua wanted to reach out and tug at the hem of his clothes, which made him frown.

One hand of water, don't stain his uppers.

Before he could retreat, a cloud shoe kicked her hand away.

Wei Lian knelt down and asked firmly, "You said, I pushed you?"

Princess Chonghua looked up and looked at him full of hatred: "Isn't it?"

Wei Lian looked at her for a moment, then chuckled, "Yes."

Then he got up, unceremoniously grabbed Princess Chonghua's hand and walked towards the shore.

No matter how "weak" he is, he is still a big man, and it is more than enough to drag a weak woman.

Princess Chonghua frightened: "What are you doing? How dare you act presumptuously in front of His Majesty, you—ah!"

Princess Chonghua screamed.

thump!

She was actually pushed back into the lake by Wei Lian.

Xie Chen watched coldly until now, and finally couldn't help it: "Your Majesty, this—"

This person is so rebellious in front of His Majesty, he should be punished.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yue smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about it."

Thank you: "... promise."

The general was shocked.

He hasn't come back for several months, what happened to His Majesty?How could people be so presumptuous in front of him.

Princess Chonghua choked on the water and was still struggling, screaming terribly.A few guards on the shore showed their faces unbearable, ready to move, Wei Lian said coldly: "Don't save me."

He never pleaded guilty to trumped-up charges.

If you dare to frame him, why not let him sit down?

The guard held back.

Xie Chen had just asked someone about the identity of Princess Chonghua, and now he was slightly dignified: "Your Majesty, if Princess Yan is allowed to die in Qin, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, she won't die." Wei Lian turned his head and nodded politely at him, "Did the general think that a princess from an island country would know how to swim?"

Born in the grassland, Huyantuya can ride a horse even at the age of seven.

Born in Haiguo, 17-year-old Princess Chonghua, can she still drown?
