An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

March [-]rd, Shangsi Festival.At this time, the girls in the boudoir would step out of the house and go for an outing by the water.Among the folks, this can be regarded as a relatively grand festival of the year.

However, for princes and ministers, the most important event in March is not the spring outing, but the annual spring hunting.

Every year at the beginning of March, His Majesty would lead all the civil and military officials to go hunting in paddocks on the outskirts of the city dozens of miles away.The six arts of a gentleman are there, the literati can also ride and shoot, and the generals are even more brave.Whoever catches the most prey will be rewarded by His Majesty.

If he is lucky enough to fall into His Majesty's eyes, his official career can be said to be on a smooth path in the future.

Therefore, countless young talents in Yongping started preparations half a year in advance, practicing riding and archery hard, just to seize this opportunity.

Spring hunting is a tradition handed down from the ancestors of the state of Qin, and it takes half a month in total to go back and forth on the road.In the past, when every king traveled, he would bring one or two concubines and concubines to wait in the tent at night.

In the past, Ji Yue would not bring anyone with him, but now it is different, he has Wei Lian.

The convoy started to set off on March [-]rd, and along the way, you could see many groups of outing girls, who cast their eyes here curiously, but were blocked by the forbidden army who cleared the way.

They gathered together, whispering.

"Look, it's the convoy coming out of the palace!"

"Why don't you see His Majesty? Last year, I saw His Majesty riding on a snow-shoeing horse. He was handsome and heroic. I thought I would see him again this year."

"Who's sitting in the carriage? It looks very dignified, surrounded by a group of guards."

"Should it be the legendary young master Lian? My elder brother saw him once when he was having a banquet in the palace. After he came back, he talked to me for a long time, saying that he had never seen such a fairy in his life."

"Why don't I see General Xie this year..."

"You are stupid, General Xie was sent by His Majesty to attack Chen Guo!"

……

In the spacious and comfortable carriage, Wei Lian was leaning against Ji Yue, eating melon seeds, feeling very comfortable.

Going to the paddock means that all members should ride horses. Based on Wei Lian's "wonderful" performance when he learned how to ride a horse last time, he decisively made a move that fit his personality.

"Riding is so tiring, I'm afraid of falling off." Horse trainer Wei Lian said so.

Ji Yue said in his heart that he believes in you alone, and at the same time waved his big hand and ordered people to prepare a luxurious carriage.

Anyway, the concubines of the first court also traveled in a carriage, and no one would object to Wei Lian taking a carriage.

Before leaving, Ji Yue lifted the curtain, got into the carriage, and wanted to ride with Wei Lian all the way.

Wei Lian was surprised: "You don't ride a horse, what are you doing here?"

Ji Yue said, "accompany you."

Wei Lian's eyes lit up: "Then you came just in time."

The corners of Ji Yue's lips curled up, thinking that Wei Lian missed each other as much as he did, and couldn't tell each other apart for a moment.

Wei Lian continued: "Hurry up and help me peel the melon seeds."

Ji Yue: "..."

Do you use Gu as a servant?

Ji Yue said with a straight face: "Do it yourself, and have enough food and clothing."

Wei Lian blinked: "Just help."

Ji Yue tried his best to maintain the majesty of the king: "Even if I jumped off the carriage, I wouldn't let you order me, don't even think about it—"

Two soft lips pressed against his lips.

Ji Yue's words disappeared immediately.

The young man leaned over, lowered his eyelids, and his slender and delicate eyelashes brushed Ji Yue's face lightly, tickling his heart.

Ji Yue's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple rolled.

Outside the carriage, the scenery along the road was changing, and the crowd was bustling with people, discussing and discussing in full swing.

Inside the carriage, the young man in black turned his back on the back of the man's head and kissed him until he couldn't breathe.

Ji Yue didn't let him go until Wei Lian's face turned red from the kiss and he leaned weakly in his arms.

Satisfied, Ji Yue started to help Wei Lian peel the sunflower seeds in a good mood.

Wei Lian rested his pillow on Ji Yue's shoulder, nibbling continuously, taking the melon seeds that Ji Yue handed to his mouth from time to time.

In the whole world, there is probably no second person who dares to lean on King Qin's shoulder and swallow the melon seeds that King Qin has peeled.

No one else has this honor.

The journey is long and tiring.After the excitement at the beginning faded away, sitting in the carriage all the time was also very boring.Gradually, Wei Lian's melon seeds became a little bit immobile, and he felt parched for a while.

He hung his head, sleepiness appeared in his eyes.

In order to start in time, I got up very early today, and I am a little tired now.

Ji Yue poured him a glass of water: "Sleep in the car when you're sleepy, and call you when you're lonely."

Wei Lian responded in a low voice, drank the tea in one gulp, leaned on Ji Yue's shoulder, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep within a while.

Seeing that he was in a deep sleep, Ji Yue even softened the sound of his breathing.

The road was bumpy, and the wheels of the wheels would be bumped by stones from time to time, and even the people in the car were shaken.Wei Lian almost fell off Ji Yue's shoulder several times, but fortunately Ji Yue was able to hold him firmly so that no one bumped into the small desk with melons and fruits in front.

Careful protection all the way, hard to let people wake up.

When Wei Lian's whole body slid down again, Ji Yue had no choice but to pull him back.His shoulders were a little sore from the pillow, so he simply let someone sleep on his lap.At this time, the convoy had already left Yongping, the roads were much quieter, and there was some coolness under the shade of the trees.

Ji Yue pulled out the tiger skin blanket on the side and covered Wei Lian so that he would not catch a cold.

Wei Lian lay on his lap, with red marks on one cheek, as if he had been bullied.His complexion is as white as snow, and suddenly a little red, like peach blossoms falling on his cheeks, is unbelievably beautiful.

Ji Yue looked at it for a while, but couldn't hold back, and leaned down and kissed the man's forehead.

So cute, you have to give it a kiss.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, there was a sudden commotion outside, Wei Lian's ears moved, and he woke up immediately.

Those clear and beautiful eyes opened, and when he woke up, he saw Ji Yue who was close at hand.

Wei Lian: "..."

Ji Yue: "..."

Wei Lian straightened up, looked at the blanket covering his body, and asked Chi: "You just..."

Ji Yue immediately said: "Gu didn't kiss you."

Wei Lian: "..."

Very good, once again there is no silver 300 taels here.

"Secretly what are you doing?" Wei Lian kissed him on the cheek without hesitation, "I'm awake, is it dawn?"

Ji Yue has black lines all over his head.

Wei Xiaolian slept so hard that he didn't know what night it was.

"No." Ji Yue said, "It's evening."

Li Fuquan said outside the curtain: "Your Majesty, the paddock is here."

"We're here." Ji Yue took his hand, "Get out of the car."

After getting off the carriage, the majestic king and the handsome and unparalleled son stood side by side, and it immediately became a stunning scenery.

A few ministers accidentally spotted the red mark on Wei Lian's face, they didn't dare to look at it carefully, and quickly turned their eyes away.

His Majesty Xindao has always traveled on horseback in previous years, but this year he stayed with Young Master Lian... Could it be that they were hanging out in the carriage?

It's exciting to think about it... No, it's indecent!

Of course no one dared to speak out.

Wei Lian subdued the red-maned horse and slapped Chen Guo in the face, which won him a wave of favor in Qin State.

It's just that he is the son of Chu State, but also the male favorite in the eyes of everyone. The former makes people hostile, while the latter makes life frivolous.Prejudice cannot be eliminated overnight.

Wei Lian didn't care what others thought of him either.

All he cared about was Ji Yue.

It was getting late on the first day, and the main thing was to set up camp and eat some dry food.When the hunt officially starts tomorrow, they can eat the roasted prey.

There is no need for Ji Yue to do such trivial matters as pitching a tent.

Ah Meng followed the convoy all the way, and now she is running excitedly on a field from east to west, and then from west to east.

The whole dog was so happy that it was about to fly.

Ji Yue would bring it with him every spring hunting.Mastiffs prefer to run freely in the vast mountains and forests and hunt with their masters rather than being confined in the palace and carefully fed.

People still advocate freedom, let alone wild beasts.

Two horses, Xiaobai and Xiaohong, also came.Not to mention Xiaobai is Ji Yue's war horse, Xiaohong is the first time to participate.

However, the chances of Xiaohong being able to come in handy are slim.Wei Lian can only say that he "just learned how to ride a horse". Archery is a blind spot, and riding and archery is even more impossible.

As the mount of Wei Wei Dianxin Lian, Xiaohong can only be forced to be useless.

In Ji Yue's words, it is to bring it to see the world.

The guards were very efficient in their work, and the tents for the princes and nobles to rest were quickly set up.As a noble monarch, Wei Lian can naturally have an independent tent.

However, Ji Yue said that he didn't need it, saying that they lived together.

Everyone showed a tacit expression.

Your Majesty...they have to sleep at night, they all understand.

Even Li Fuquan thought so, and secretly gave Wei Lian a tube of ointment, asking him to wipe off the marks on his face.He also said that the ointment should be used sparingly. It is inconvenient to be away for half a month. If the body is tossing hard, it may not be able to bear it.

As soon as Wei Lian heard it, he knew that the chief executive had misunderstood, and explained: "I slept on His Majesty's body."

He didn't do that with Ji Yue in the carriage!

He does!

Those surnamed Ji do not cooperate!!!

Li Fuquan nodded, with a look of "You don't need to say, we all understand": "Yes, I know that you and His Majesty slept out."

Wei Lian: "...?"

"You save some time!" Li Fuquan was called away after leaving a sentence.

Liu Weilian was flustered in the wind alone.

He looked down at the tube of strange ointment, lost in thought.

"What are you looking at?" Ji Yue came over, glanced at Li Fuquan's hurried back, and then at the flushed young man.

Wei Lian was not shy, the marks from sleeping on his face were still there.

But it was much lighter than when it was on the carriage.

Otherwise, everyone's guess would not be "the young master was favored by the carriage", but "the young master was raped by the family while sitting on the carriage".

Wei Lian said, "Pharmaceuticals."

Ji Yue looked solemn: "Where is the injury?"

Wei Lian said, "As a spare."

Ji Yue must find out: "Where did you use it?"

Medicines should not be used indiscriminately, Wei Lian must use the best ones.

Wei Lian glanced at him: "You don't need to know." Then he turned and left.

Ji Yue: "???"

Ji Yue was very confused.

It's night, in the tent.

The conditions outside are not abundant, and it is impossible to create a pond as big as Tangquan Palace, but the king of a country obviously will not be neglected.There is no soup pool, but there is still hot water.

After Wei Lian took a bath, he put on a lewd garment, his long hair was loose and drooping, and his facial features were impeccably perfect.The clear moonlight poured into the account, reflecting people like jade.

With such a beauty by his side, no matter which king he is, he should have a spring night.

however.

Ji Yue had already slept very peacefully on the couch.

Wei Lian was very resentful, [-]% annoyed, and utterly speechless, and fell asleep next to Ji Yue.

He naively thought that Ji Yue had other meanings when he said that he slept in the same tent.

He was wrong, Ji Yue really just wanted to sleep.

For some unknown reason, this person suddenly entered a period of sexual frigidity.Wei Lian pondered.

He has to figure out why.

I slept so long in the carriage during the day that I couldn't sleep at night.

After tossing and turning several times, Wei Lian finally couldn't take it anymore, sat up and pulled Ji Yue.

Ji Yue opened his eyes vigilantly, and when he saw Wei Lian in front of him, he closed his eyes lazily, and made a vague nasal sound: "Huh?"

"Get up." Wei Lian said seriously, "hurt me."
