icebreaker

Another day, lunch was spread in the Palace of Yangxin. The dishes were rich and dazzling, making people salivate when they heard it, and sighed.

The King of Qin was used to enjoying these things, and his expression was just ordinary, and he was still picky.

"This fish dish is not very fresh today." Ji Yue put down his chopsticks and commented on the food.

After hearing this, Wei Lian picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth to taste it, but he did not feel any odor: "I think it's okay?"

Ji Yue: "I feel it's not possible."

Wei Lian: OK.

You are the king, and you are right.

Wei Lian knew that the Qin King was outrageous in his ability to eat, so he felt it was not good, so he refused to verbally.

"Take it away and let the imperial kitchen make another one." Wei Lian ordered the palace servant.

He was able to use the people in the Palace of Harmony in front of the King of Qin.

The palace servants responded and came back a while later, but did not bring the newly made fish, but brought one person.

The man looked at his clothes and must be the chef in the imperial kitchen.

Ji Yue smiled: "Is this meant to be alone and eat people?"

The chef was trembling when he first met the Saint, and he was so scared that he knelt down on the spot when he heard this, his body trembled like a sieve: "Your Majesty, please spare me!"

He had only heard the rumors about His Majesty, and heard that he was murderous and violent in nature. With a command, he might be thrown into the oil pan and fried.

Ji Yue had no expression on his face.

What are you afraid of doing this? He doesn't eat human flesh.

He killed countless people, except for the assassins from various countries hidden in the palace, and some people who committed misconduct, who have never really killed innocent people indiscriminately.

There is no need to make things difficult for a chef.

Seeing that Ji Yue's smile gradually disappeared, Wei Lian couldn't help laughing. He covered his lips and chuckled: "Get up. Your Majesty will not eat people."

The chef did not dare to look up, but could only hear a clear and gentle tone, like a breeze blowing on his face.

It should be the recently rumored young master Lian.

Young Master Lian is really favored by His Majesty. Before His Majesty can speak, he dares to let him get up without authorization. He is so brave. The chef complains in his heart, but he dares not really listen to Wei Lian's words.

The young master is favored by His Majesty, and he will not pursue the matter by interfering in his duties. But if he gets up without His Majesty's orders, he may lose his life in the next moment.

When Ji Yue saw the chef not moving, his voice was cold: "Didn't you hear the young master?"

The chef was startled and then stood up: "Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Young Master."

It seems that he underestimated the importance of the young master in His Majesty's heart.

Wei Lian didn't care about the chef's ignoring him just now. Everyone cherished his life. It was normal for the chef to not believe him. He asked: "What's the matter for you to report?"

The chef dared not to respond to Wei Lian's words and bowed and said, "I am Wang Shou, the chef in the imperial kitchen. Your Majesty wants to make fresh fish, but the ingredients in the palace are purchased every day to ensure freshness. Today's fish... are already the freshest, and there is really no extra in the kitchen."

Even if there is, it will be the same night, and I die for a long time, and I will give it to the palace servants. How dare he present it to His Majesty?

When explaining the situation to the palace servants of Yangxin Palace, the palace servant was afraid that she would be punished if she went back empty-handedly and reported her life, so she pulled him to sue him.

After Wang Shou said with a tough bullet, he lowered his head and waited for his speech. He had no choice but to understand the difficulties of his subordinates. He could only accept any punishment.

After hearing this, Ji Yue ignored it. He was not a monarch who was forced to do something, and he waved his hand and asked someone to retreat.

Wang Shou thought that the King of Qin was waving his hand and asking someone to drag him down and execute him. His face turned pale and his heart was ashamed.

Wei Lian suddenly said, "I know there is a place where there are fresh carp."

Ji Yue looked sideways: "Oh?"

Wei Lian smiled and said, "I will take Your Majesty."

Ji Yue raised his eyebrows: "What are you waiting for? Take the orphan to take a look."

Wei Lian: "No."

The two of them left as soon as they said that, and the chef was left alone without anyone caring. He was wandering and didn't know what to do. Li Fuquan turned around and gave him a wink, meaning "What are you still doing here? Why don't you retreat quickly?"

Wang Shou was stunned, then nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly retreated, only to realize that he had survived the disaster.

He really escaped from the gates of hell... Thanks to Mr. Wei's words to save his life.

Wang Shou was still scared, and he was grateful to Wei Lian again in a moment.

Ji Yue didn't know that he had taken the blame for some reason, because he was famous for being out of the question. Even if he had no intention of killing, others thought he was going to kill.

Ji Yue had no choice but to argue about this, and never thought of making excuses. In short, killing one person is killing, and killing one hundred people is also killing. From the first blood he got stained with, he had nothing to do with the word "innocence".

Only kings in prosperous times need the reputation of benevolence and virtue, which thousands of people admire; kings in troubled times need the power of iron and blood, and everyone is afraid of it.

He doesn't need to say much.

Wei Lian didn't know that his just right words made a good relationship for him and helped him a lot in the future.

At present, they were standing in the snow and ice. Wei Lian was holding a soup man in his arms, looking at the ice-filled lake in front of him.

This is Qinyuan Lake.

In spring, the water surface here is sparkling, and from a distance, there are pavilions and towers above. You can walk along the Jiuqu Bridge to the small pavilion. You can also raft on the lake, under the moon, and watch the koi swaying in the water.

However, it is winter now, and a thick layer of ice is formed on the lake. Even if there are swimming fish, they are hidden under the ice and cannot be easily taken out.

Wei Lian once heard from the palace people that the State of Lu paid tribute to twenty colorful clouds and koi last year, and they were raised in this Qinyuan Lake.

"As long as you dig the ice surface and fish out the koi underwater, will there be fresh carp to eat?" Wei Lian said.

Before Ji Yue could speak, Li Fuquan made a fuss first: "Prince Wei, this is a tribute from Lu State. A colorful cloud koi is worth a thousand gold and is rare in the world. It is used for viewing. How can it be eaten!"

Isn’t this a waste of resources?

"What a waste of resources?" Wei Lian saw through what Li Fuquan thought at first, his tone was gentle and his content was arrogant. "The carp leaped over the dragon gate for a lifetime. Entering His Majesty's dragon belly is their best destination, and it is worth it."

...The goddamn carp jumped over the dragon gate. I didn't ask if the carp was willing!

Absurd, too ridiculous!

With the lessons learned from the previous few times, Li Fuquan dared not refute Wei Lian anymore. He just looked at his own Majesty and his eyes were full of: Don’t you care?

As a result, he looked closely and saw that His Majesty was actually laughing.

It’s no longer the false and cold smile that used to be. His Majesty bent his eyes, and a thin layer of smile in his eyes could not be concealed, with a faint soft color, which looked very beautiful.

Li Fuquan was stunned for a moment.

...I haven't seen His Majesty smile so sincerely for many years.

He heard His Majesty smile and asked, "But the ice layer is so thick, how can Wei Lang break the ice?"

Li Fuquan is about to suffocate.

Your Majesty really considers this proposal!

In ancient times, King You of Zhou played the princes with beacons to capture Bao Si's smile. Now, for the sake of the prince, His Majesty can make a dish of koi worth thousands of gold. He is really... he is extremely willful!

Reason told Li Fuquan that he would not compromise like this. As a close servant, he should persuade His Majesty to be more disciplined and not do such things that are incompatible with etiquette.

But seeing the rare relaxed smile between His Majesty's eyebrows, Li Fuquan hesitated again.

Forget it, if you can make Your Majesty happy, it would be no pity to ruin a few koi.

Breaking the ice and breaking the ice, breaking the ice on the lake is not difficult, but the difficult thing is breaking the ice in His Majesty's heart.

If Young Master Lian really had this ability... he would be very grateful to him.

Li Fuquan was determined to make a little change to Wei Lian, and then listened to Wei Lian's lightness: "In ancient times, Wang Xiang, a native of Jin, lying on the ice and asking for carp. His Majesty took off his clothes and lying on the ice. Oh, by the way, Wang Xiang moved God with his filial piety, and ordinary people could not do this. Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor. Only the dragon energy can make the carp break the ice hard, so don't let the palace servant do it for him."

Li Fuquan was stunned and listened to Wei Lian's serious nonsense.

He took back the preface.

What kind of explanation is the young master who can conquer the sect?

That was Su Daji, who was in trouble with the court.

Li Fuquan looked at His Majesty in great horror.
