An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Wei Lian was halfway through applying the medicine to himself, when a maid came in with a tray.

Wei Lian raised his eyes and looked, the maid's footsteps stopped, and her cheeks were a little crimson.

She bent her knees, bowed her head and said: "My lord, these are the clothes His Majesty ordered your maid to bring to you, please put them on as soon as possible."

The palace maid blushed and lowered her head, thinking, Young Master Lian is really pretty.

The young man on the bed had loose blue hair, his white jacket was open in a mess, and his collarbone was delicate and deep.The faint red marks around the Adam's apple are even more attractive.

With a clear face and a perfect demeanor, no one can avoid a blush and a heartbeat when looking at her with a pair of eyes as gentle as water.

Your Majesty is also good-looking, but no one dares to look directly at Tianyan.Lian, the young master from Chu Kingdom, was a gentle gentleman down to the core.

The coldness in Wei Lian's eyes faded in an instant, and he said gently, "Thank you."

The maid hurriedly said: "It's the maid's job, you don't have to be polite, sir."

Wei Lian nodded, and took the clothes from the tray.

The maid asked: "My lord, do you want your servant to serve you?"

Wei Lian shook his head, and the maid stood quietly by the side.

King Qin did not treat him harshly in terms of clothing.He was wearing a plain robe inside and a white fox fur coat, which was thick and warm, but not bulky, which perfectly complemented Wei Lian's slender figure.

After changing clothes, Wei Lian sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed his hair with a comb.Before reaching the crown, he only tied a jade hairpin into a bun slightly behind his head, and three thousand green silks hung down to the back of his waist.The man was originally stunning, his skin whiter than snow, and he dressed up a little, which stunned the waiting maids.

Young Master is so pretty... Zhu Cui couldn't help sighing again.

The beauty of Wei Lian is amazing at first glance, and the more you look at it, the more charming it becomes.

Wei Lian smiled warmly: "I'm already the servant of the King of Qin, so don't call me a son. It's not good for you to let His Majesty hear it."

Zhucui was startled.Only then did I realize that I couldn't help myself just now, and actually whispered what I thought in my heart.

This is considered a faux pas.But not only did Young Master Lian not blame her, he even reminded her to change her address so that she would not be punished by His Majesty.

The son-in-law is also really nice.

Zhu Cui's affection for Wei Lian increased greatly, and she sympathized with his situation even more.Such a humble and modest gentleman wants to be His Majesty's male favourite... It's really miserable!

Seeing the unbearable expression on Zhu Cui's face, Wei Lian narrowed his eyes lightly.

It's okay if you can't bear it.This maid should be a regular attendant in the Palace of Mental Cultivation, and she knows some things about King Qin.I don't know anything about King Qin, so I have to pry out some information from the palace population, so I can decide what to do next.

Wei Lian is an outsider in Qin Palace.If he asked rashly, the other party might not say much.He was poor and poor, and all the things he brought from the Chu State belonged to the Qin State, and his pockets were too shy to manage with money.

Only attack the heart.

Nowadays, a woman who speaks a few words has a soft heart, so he can inquire about the news he wants to know.

"What's your name?" Wei Lian asked softly.

Zhucui's ears were slightly hot: "Maidservant Zhucui."

It's true that she doesn't care much about Young Master Lian, but who doesn't like to appreciate beauties?Who can refuse the beauty's inquiry?

"You are a maid in the Palace of Mental Cultivation, do you know anything about His Majesty?" Wei Lian asked again.

"This..." As soon as King Qin was involved, Zhu Cui's words hesitated again, so she was inconvenient to reveal.

They are slaves, how dare they talk about their masters.Especially since His Majesty is a tyrant...

Seeing this, Wei Lian lowered his eyes, and there was a touch of sadness: "I am a man, and I also have the ambition to rise to the clouds. I have a heart for the people, and I don't want to enter the Qin Palace..."

He forced a smile, "I have accepted my fate, and I no longer have any wrong thoughts. Now I just want to serve the king well, so as to live a stable life. Wei Lian is new here, and I don't know His Majesty's temper, lest I offend Long Yan. I am dead Xiao, if His Majesty angers you, I will feel uneasy under the nine springs."

Zhucui's heart trembled, she felt that the person in front of her was really Mo Shangren Ruyu, a son unparalleled in the world.

Such a person shouldn't have fallen into such a situation, how could she have the heart to watch him struggle?

Zhu Cui was about to tell everything she knew: "Young master... the guard, the servant girl has served in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for three years, and knows a little about His Majesty's habits. Your Majesty has picky tastes, and his favorite dish is crystal shrimp dumplings. Onion, ginger, garlic, Chinese prickly ash... Your majesty doesn't like purple, because the first queen mother loves to wear purple..."

Wei Lian listened and wrote down King Qin's taboos and preferences one by one.

At the end, he bowed and said: "Thank you Miss Zhucui, Wei Lian is very grateful."

"Your Majesty is going to go back to the palace now. Your Majesty is going to leave."

She thought for a while, and then said: "If you need anything in the future, you can tell your servant."

Wei Lian nodded in thanks.

After Zhu Cui retreated, Wei Lian sat back on the bed unhurriedly, and finished applying the remaining ointment.

When the marks on the neck disappeared, King Qin's figure appeared at the gate of the palace.

Wei Lian put down the ointment, got up and saluted: "Your Majesty."

Ji Yue glanced at Wei Lian's neck, and replied when he didn't see any scars: "Yes."

Wei Lian got up and stared at Ji Yue's expressionless face: "Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood."

Ji Yue was noncommittal: "Why, you also have to learn to guess Gu's mind?"

The lessons learned from the previous attempt at presumptuousness are still there.Li Fuquan, who is still bedridden at the moment, is an example.

Li Fuquan accompanied the King of Qin since he was a child, and even received thirty lashes.Wei Lian has only known each other for a day, so why should he think that he will be an exception.

Wei Lian lowered his eyes: "I dare not."

He said quietly again: "It's just that His Majesty's displeasure is written all over his face. Even if I don't guess your thoughts, I can still tell."

Ji Yue took off his heavy court attire, and his eyes were a bit monstrous against the black robes embroidered with gold and dragons in Sichuan.This face was even somewhat gorgeous, but the usual majesty and coldness suppressed his own appearance.

Putting prejudice and murderous intent aside, King Qin is also a rare handsome man.

Ji Yue turned to look at Wei Lian, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "What's written on Gu's face?"

The king of Qin was unpredictable.He smiles not necessarily happy, it may be angry.His gentle tone does not necessarily mean that he is in a good mood, but it may also mean that he wants to kill someone.

The palace people who have served him for many years know this, but they never know what he is thinking.

Wei Lian wanted to speak, but Ji Yue said calmly, "If you say something wrong, then give your tongue to the orphaned mastiff."

Wei Lian: "..."

What kind of obsession does King Qin have with his tongue?
