bride price(1/2)
Imperial study room.
Wei Lian sat in front of the desk and glanced at the handed over ten lines, and he was persuaded to think twice without exception.
The remarks are just a few words, such as "The monarch of a country gets married and is really unconventional."
After seeing another piece of advice, Wei Lian threw the piece and rubbed his temples: "So many important things have not been dealt with, so I can stare at this one with great enthusiasm."
Little Buddian was held on his lap, his dark eyes stared at the thrown pieces curiously, and grabbed a volume and opened it.
Wei Lian lowered his head and asked, "Isn't you a little girl? Do you know how to read?"
Xiao Budian blinked, and seemed not to understand.
Wei Lian said disgusted: "I can write poems for three years old, why don't you even know a word?"
The little guy still looked confused.
He is a real three-year-old, and he can't count on too much.
"I'm so stupid." Wei Lian poked his head, "I'm overestimating you. It seems that someone is behind the scenes."
He was just walking halfway, and saw this little guy playing on the roadside. When he saw him, he rushed over and threw himself into his arms, holding his legs.
Such an obvious way of hitting the car immediately reminded Wei Lian that he was so deliberately colliding with Concubine Yan when he was a child, and he has gained a noble identity for himself from then on. However, his collision method is much more concealed, and it looks like an accident.
At the age of six, he did it on purpose and was quite scheming.
And he is only three years old. If he knows how to make a future for himself, he is really a genius.
However, seeing Xiaobudian's silly appearance, Wei Lian took back his thoughts.
Not everyone can be as smart as him.
Xiaobudian doesn't quite understand Wei Lian's meaning, but he can vaguely feel that he is being despised.
He felt a little angry.
The angry little guy hummed angrily, waved his short hand hard, and swept all the memorials on the table that petitioned His Majesty to give up the marriage to the ground.
It is very majestic as a king.
The little guy who had done bad things raised his head and watched Wei Guan to protest.
Wei Lian gently touched his head, and said with a pleasant tone: "Beautiful job." Xiao Budian did something he wanted to do but could not do. After all, he had to give some face to the ministers who helped him a lot.
Little one: "..."
Qiao Hongfei, who saw this scene just after coming in: "..."
Well, he knew that His Majesty was very resentful about these comments.
Qiao Hongfei came in and was about to salute him, but Wei Lian interrupted him: "No need to be too polite."
He raised his chin slightly: "If you come to persuade me, turn around and the door is there."
Qiao Hongfei: “…”
"I believe that Your Majesty has its own right." Qiao Hongfei frowned, "But Your Majesty should also make preparations. You have not made any arrangements for the army. What if the King of Qin attacks..."
"He won't." Wei Lian was very confident.
Qiao Hongfei disagreed: "The Qin people are treacherous, how dare Your Majesty believe him? Do you give up resistance and just wait for him to occupy the State of Chu?"
"I am waiting for him to come..." the letter.
Before he finished speaking, an eunuch entered the study and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Qin envoy asked for a visit."
Wei Lian sat upright: "Xuan."
The messenger from Qin State came, and after the ceremony, he presented the reply from the King of Qin.
Wei Lian opened the document and read it, and his originally unhappy mood was wiped out and he became more happy.
Xiao Budian sat on his lap, leaned over his head, and said intermittently: "With the country... I want to marry... I will be able to stay with you forever..."
He still didn't recognize many words and skipped a lot. But the information revealed was enough for Qiao Hongfei to make up for the complete content.
Wei Lian smiled and looked down at Xiaobudian: "It turns out that you don't recognize words, you just say something that I love to listen to."
"Master Taiwei, have you heard it?" Wei Lian closed the document and his voice lightly.
"I am waiting for him to marry me."

Frost Moon Palace.
The name of the palace sounds like a desolate feeling, which is really not auspicious. The scenery inside the palace is the same as its name, like the cold moon, the ground is full of frost, and no one can see anyone for a while.
A woman coughed lightly from the bedroom.
"Madam." An elderly palace maid sat at the head of the bed with a medicine bowl and whispered, "It's time to take medicine."
It was the servant who took care of Xiao Wangsun last time.
Mrs. Du is in poor health and has been lingering in sick for many years. Her only son, Mr. Su, is not filial and has always been resting in the palace alone. She is not happy with many people, so she simply dismissed all the palace servants who served in the inner courtyard, leaving only a trustworthy palace maid.
The woman sat up with her support, with a pale and haggard face. She was only thirty-nine years old, but she was as vicissitudes as a woman in her fifties.
There are many women like her in the deep palace who have no power or favor to waste their lives, and are depressed and become sick. She still has one son to help her and has a grandson to relieve her boredom, but she is much better than those concubines who don’t even have children.
Mrs. Du took a sip of the medicine weakly and asked, "Xingyuan, what's wrong with Lin'er?"
Xingyuan hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness is very obedient and really rushed into His Majesty's arms. Now he is taken back to the Imperial Study room by His Majesty."
Mrs. Du nodded slightly, and was about to speak, but she looked up and suddenly saw the purple horn of her clothes, her face turned paler.
Xingyuan noticed something was wrong, looked back and his expression changed drastically, and he quickly knelt down: "Maid, please see Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what the maid said just now is, just, just..." How should she take the sins on herself and not implicate her wife?
Wei Lian hugged the little girl and lowered her head and asked, "What did you say just now?"
"..." Xingyuan was speechless for a moment.
Didn't Your Majesty hear that?
When Mrs. Du saw Xingyuan in a dilemma, she wanted to stay for a visit. Wei Lian stopped him and said, "Mrs. Tai is in good health, so you don't have to see her."
Mrs. Du paused: "Thank you for your understanding."
"Grandma!" Xiao Budian struggled to get off Wei Lian and jumped to the head of the bed.
Mrs. Du touched him gently, and the grandparents and grandchildren seemed to have a good relationship.
After all, Xiao Budian grew up in the Frost Moon Palace when he was born, and his relationship with his grandmother is far better than that of his father.
Wei Lian picked up a chair and sat down. Mrs. Du smiled slightly and ordered Xingyuan: "Xingyuan, go and serve tea."
Your Majesty will definitely not visit for no reason. If you have any questions, you will need to pay the palace maids.
Xingyuan understood and retreated silently.
Wei Lianfang spoke, "The Grandmaster guided Wang Sun to hit him, is he trying to find a future for him?"
Xiao Budian collided with him twice. The first time was an accident, and the second time was obviously a premeditated plan.
The road he took today is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Frost Moon Palace.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your Majesty." Mrs. Du smiled faintly, "I teach Lin'er like this, not to plan a future for him, but to pave a way out for him."
"I haven't had much time left, and I have nothing to worry about in this life. The only thing I can't rest assured is Lin'er." Mrs. Du sighed softly, "Su'er is a confused person. Lin'er's biological mother favored her concubine when she was there, and then straightened the woman. How could I believe that she would treat Lin'er well? Lin'er is now protected by me. After I go, he will be helpless."
Mrs. Du's complexion was declining, and she was almost exhausted and she had no way to turn things around, so Wei Lian could see that.
"So the lady wants to be alone as his backer."
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Mrs. Du knew that the emperor was most disliked to be plotted against, and said in panic, "It's all my ideas. Lin'er doesn't know anything. Your Majesty should not blame him."
She was always worried about what Lin'er should do after she left, but she never dared to think about letting the new king protect her. It was when she came back from Xingyuan last time and told her that His Majesty had hugged Lin'er, and seemed to love him very much, which made her feel a little hope.
"It's okay." Wei Lian said, "I also like this child."
Mrs. Du was stunned.
Wei Lian chuckled: "I still lack a prince."
The royal family must be without descendants. He and Ji Yue are destined to have no descendants in their lives, and the heirs must be trained separately.
Ji Yue's brothers died in the seizure of power, and no descendants were left behind. However, Wei Lian had many nephews on the Chu State.
Qin Chu's ancestors were brothers from a family, and they all flowed with the same blood, which was not considered confusing bloodline.
It's just right for a little bit.
The children taught by him and Ji Yue since childhood will never be too bad.
Mrs. Du's eyes were shocked, as if she was falling into a dream. After a while, she suddenly woke up: "...Thank you Your Majesty."
She just wanted to ask her grandson for a talisman. Why do she feel that... is she asking for something amazing?

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is another year of the Chinese New Year.
The King of Qin visited Chu and carried two hundred and sixty-four betrothal gifts and a jade seal from Qin to Chu. The gongs and drums all the way were huge, and the real red makeup of the prosperous era was.
