An Empire as a Betrothal Gift - Chapter 117
Imperial study.
Wei Lian sat in front of the book case and scanned the folded book at a glance. Without exception, he was advised to think twice.
There are only two sentences, such as “when a monarch gets married, it’s really not proper to slide the country’s great affairs.”.
After seeing a letter of advice, Wei Lian threw it away and rubbed his temple: “so many important things have not been dealt with. I can stare at this one.”
Little bit was held in his lap, his dark eyes staring curiously at the left folded paper, grabbed a roll and opened it.
Wei Lian bowed his head and asked, “little, can you read?”
Little bit blinked and didn’t seem to understand.
Wei Lian was disgusted and said, “how can you write poetry when you are only three years old
Little bit is still confused.
He’s a real three-year-old and can’t count on much.
“Stupid.” Wei Lian poked his head and said, “it’s lonely that overestimates you. It seems that there are some people behind you.”
He just walked in the middle of the road when he saw the little spot playing on the side of the road. He rushed straight to his arms and held his legs.
Such an obvious way of touching porcelain immediately reminds Wei Lian that he also deliberately collided with Yan Fei when he was a child, so he earned a noble identity for himself. But his collision method is much more hidden, it looks like an accident.
At the age of six, he did it on purpose and was quite resourceful.
And this little girl is three years old. If he knows how to make a future for himself, he is really a genius.
But at the moment, looking at the little bit’s simple and simple appearance, Wei Lian takes back this idea.
Not everyone can be as smart as he is.
Little bit does not understand the meaning of Wei Lian, but vaguely can feel that he is despised.
He felt a little angry.
Angry little bit bit angrily “hum” a, small short hand with a strong wave, the pile of petitions on the table your majesty to give up marriage memorials swept to the ground.
It’s very Regal.
After doing bad things, little dot raised his head and looked at Wei Lian to express his protest.
His head was soft and dry He did what he wanted to do but couldn’t do. After all, he had to give some face to those ministers who helped him a lot.
Xiaobu Dian: “it’s just
Qiao Hongfei, who had just come in and saw this scene, “is…”
Well, he knows that your majesty is very angry about these folding.
Qiao Hongfei came in and was about to salute when Wei Lian interrupted him: “don’t be so polite.”
He raised his chin slightly: “if you also come to persuade the orphan, turn around, the door is over there.”
Qiao Hongfei:
“I believe your majesty has his own discretion.” Qiao Hongfei frowned and said, “but should your majesty also make preparations. You have not made any deployment to the army, in case the king of Qin comes in… ”
“He will not.” Wei Lian is very sure.
Qiao Hongfei disagreed: “Qin people are treacherous. How dare your majesty believe him. Do you give up resistance and wait for him to occupy the state of Chu? ”
“Gu is waiting for him to come…” incoming letter.
Before finishing, an eunuch went into the study and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, the envoy of the state of Qin asks to see you.”
Wei Lian sat upright a little bit: “Xuan.”
It was a messenger from the state of Qin. After the ceremony, he presented a reply from the king of Qin.
Wei Lian opened the document and read it, but his unhappy mood was swept away and he became happier.
Little bit sat on his lap, leaned over his head and read, word by word, off and on: “with the mountains and rivers To marry It’s a good man who looks good… ”
He didn’t know a lot of words, so he skipped a lot. But the information disclosed is enough for Qiao Hongfei to fill in the whole content.
Wei Lian smiles and looks at Xiaobu Dian with a smile: “so you don’t know the words. You just say some lonely love to hear.”
“Captain, do you hear me?” Wei Lian closed the document and lowered his voice.
“Lonely is waiting for him to marry me.”
Frost Moon Palace.
The name of the palace sounds bleak, which is really not very auspicious. The scene inside the hall is just like its name. It is cold and cold like the moon, and the ground is covered with frost, and there is no personal shadow for a long time.
There was a slight cough from the woman in the bedroom.
“Madame.” An elderly maiden sitting at the head of the bed with a medicine bowl in her hand, whispered, “it’s time to drink medicine.”
It was the servant who took care of Xiao Wang sun last time.
Mrs. Du is not in good health and has been in bed for many years. Her only son, Mr. Su, is not filial. She has been resting in this palace alone. She didn’t like many people. She simply dismissed all the servants in the inner court, leaving only a trusted maid.
The woman sat up and looked pale and haggard. She was only thirty-nine years old, and she was like a woman in her fifties.
There are many women like her in the deep palace. She has no right to waste her life without being spoiled. She is depressed and becomes ill. She still has a son and grandchildren to help her, which is much better than those Ji concubines who don’t even have children.Mrs. Du drank the medicine weakly and asked, “how is lin’er in Xingyuan?”
The Apricot Garden answered quickly, “Your Highness Wang sun is very obedient. He really threw himself into his Majesty’s arms. Now he is taken back to the imperial study by his majesty.”
Mrs. Du nodded slightly and was about to speak. She raised her head and caught a glimpse of the Purple Corner. Her face was whiter.
The Apricot Garden noticed something wrong. Looking back, she quickly knelt down: “maid, see your majesty! Your majesty, what your servant said just now is just, just How can she take the past and not implicate his wife?
Wei Lian hugged little bit, hung his head and asked, “what did you just say?”
“……” At that time, the language of Xingyuan was blocked.
Didn’t your majesty hear that?
Mrs. Du saw the Apricot Garden in distress, and wanted to stay at the table to see the ceremony. Wei Lian stopped him and said, “Madam Tai is in a bad health. You don’t have to see anything outside.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Grandmother Little bit struggled to get down from Wei Lian and rushed to the head of the bed.
Mrs. Du touched him gently, and his grandparents and grandchildren seemed to have a good relationship.
After all, little bit grew up in the frost Moon Palace when he was born, and his grandmother is much more affectionate than his father.
Wei Lian picked a chair and sat down. Madame Du, smiling slightly, told Xingyuan: “Xingyuan, go to serve tea.”
Your majesty will not visit for no reason. If you have something to discuss, you need to leave the maids.
The Apricot Garden will understand, quietly back down.
Wei Lianfang opens a way: “too madam points out Wang sun to bump alone, want to plan a future for him?”
He collided with him twice. The first time was an accident, and the second one was obviously premeditated.
The road he took today is a thousand miles away from the frost Moon Palace.
“You can’t hide anything from your majesty.” Du lady light smile, “this palace teaches Lin son so, do not plan a future for him, want to pave a back road for him.”
“The palace is running out of time, and I have nothing to worry about in my life. The only thing I can’t worry about is lin’er.” Mrs. Du sighed, “su’er is a muddle headed one. When lin’er’s mother was in favor of the side imperial concubine, she righted the woman. How dare we believe that she will treat lin’er kindly. Lin’er is now under the protection of this palace. When he goes to the palace, he is really helpless. ”
Duff’s popularity was declining. He was about to run out of oil and his lamp was dry. Wei Lian could see that.
“So Mrs. Tai wants to be his patron.”
“Your Majesty, forgive me.” Mrs. Du knew that the Emperor didn’t like to be cheated. She said in horror, “it’s all the ideas of this palace. Lin’er doesn’t understand anything. Your majesty should not blame him.”
She had been worrying about what lin’er should do after she left, but she did not dare to think about the protection of the new king. It was when she came back from the Apricot Garden last time that her majesty had held lin’er and seemed to love him very much, which gave her a glimmer of hope.
“No harm.” Wei Lian said, “Gu also likes this child.”
Mrs. Du was stunned.
Wei Lian chuckles: “lonely still lack a prince.”
The royal family cannot be without a queen. He and Ji Yue are doomed to have no children in their lives, and the heirs must be trained separately.
Ji Yue’s brothers were killed and injured in the process of seizing power, and no offspring were left. On the other hand, Wei Lian had many nephews.
The ancestors of Qin and Chu were the brothers of the family. They were all the same blood, not confused.
It’s just the right size.
The children who were taught by him and Ji Yue from childhood will not be too bad.
Mrs. Du’s eyes were startled. She fell into a dream. After a long time, she suddenly woke up Thank you
She just wanted to ask for a talisman for her grandson. How does she feel now What’s the best thing to ask for?
The fifteenth day of the first month is another year’s Shangyuan Festival.
The king of Qin visited Chu with 264 dowry gifts and a national jade seal. He came all the way from the Qin Dynasty to the Chu state. All the way, the gongs and drums reached the sky with great momentum, which was the real red makeup of the prosperous age.
On the main hall, he proposed to the king of Chu.
The room was filled with alarm.
No one expected that the king of Qin would come to the state of Chu to be hired. Look at this long list of gifts, each of which is priceless and can’t be finished for half a day. The more the ministers listened, the more silent they were thinking that the king of Qin paid too much attention to this
However, the value of all these gifts is not comparable to that of the imperial seal of Qin.
The marriage looks like It’s like that?
Before today, no one here took this marriage seriously. The power of Qin and Chu is very different. The so-called marriage is just a beautiful scene. Who knows the main reason is that the state of Chu collapses, which is fair.
But the king of Qin showed enough sincerity in front of the people in the world.
Nature is like one thing.
Every promise they make will go down in history, not just words.
Wei Lian listened to the list of gifts that he could not finish reading. He picked his lips and said, “the king of Qin is really willing to give up his blood.”
Ji Yue replied: “how can you marry your majesty if you don’t have blood? These gifts are so valuable that I don’t know if they can get into the eyes of his Majesty the king of Chu. “Wei Lian picked eyebrows and picked up a poorly made rabbit lamp: “is this also valuable?”
Last year, the rabbit gave him the lantern.
Ji Yue said: “if it is not valuable, why does his majesty of Chu hang it in the Zhongling palace for a year without taking it down?”
That sounds reasonable. Wei Lian also pointed to those unimportant red lines and small stones: “what about these?”
These are the things Ji Yue gave him in Jiangzhou.
“Marriage line and Sansheng stone are not precious?” Ji Yue asked.
Wei Lian hooked his lips and pointed to a bunch of orchids that spread their wings and wanted to fly: “so this flower is your heart for solitude, and it is also valuable?”
“Exactly.” Ji more nodded, “in fact, there is one more, on the king of Chu.”
It’s the jade pendant carved by fox.
Wei Lian seemed to smile: “take what has been sent back, you are too careful.”
Qinlou under the moon to change rabbit lamp, jade hall in spring to give white fox, qingpingle outside wrapped with red thread, full court fragrance in butterfly orchid.
This is the last piece of jade seal handed down to the state by Ji Yue. It is a piece of eternal life given to him by Ji Yue.
Ji Yue wants to tell him that every moment they get along with each other in the past, even in the present, in the future and in the future, is worth a lot of money.
Ji Yue smiles but doesn’t answer. She reaches out a hand to him and whispers, “ah Lian, I’ll take you home.”
Wei Lian lowered his eyes and put his hand up.
“Then I will go with you in my life.”
