Qin Louyue(1/2)
In the twelfth year of King Chang of Qin, winter.
Outside the window was filled with snow.
The air was filled with air conditioning. The palace ladies on the palace road were wearing heavy winter clothes to sweep the snow, rubbing their palms from time to time, and bursts of white smoke came out of their mouths.
The ice and snow lowered the branches of the plum blossoms a little, forming a layer of frost.
The room was not very warm, and the charcoal fire in the stove had been burned out. The cold penetrated the bone cracks, making the limbs and bones stiff.
The young man wearing a snow-white fox fur sat by the window, and the cup of hot tea he was holding was also blown cold by the wind and snow pouring into the window. His fingers were as slender as jade, with clear joints, and very beautiful.
Changshou walked up carefully: "Young master, it's cold outside, so let me close the window."
When the young man heard this, he turned his head and his face was graceful and beautiful.
Even Princess Chonghua, known as the No. 1 beauty in the seven countries, may feel ashamed of himself when he sees him. The beautiful and beautiful city is not as good as a man.
Wei Lian smiled: "The window is open, and I can still see the wind and snow in my hometown. Once it is closed, I can't see anything."
His voice was warm and as cool as jade, and his face still had a smile. Anyone who saw it felt like this was just a noble young man who was leisurely enjoying the snow and was crystal clear.
Changshou's nose felt sore when he heard it, and almost burst into tears.
The state of Chu is snowy. The young master misses homesickness.
But when he was in Qin State, the young master probably would never be able to go back for his whole life.
The young master is only nineteen years old, but he has to waste his time in a foreign country.
Changshou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, but he was already choked: "Young Master needs to take care of his body. If you are infected with wind and cold, I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid that even a medical officer in Qin would not invite the young master.
The young master was the royal family of Chu, but he ended up in such a state.
_
Today, Qin, Chu, Yan, Lu, Liang, Chen, Xia, and each became kings.
King Ji Yue of Qin Chang ascended the throne at the age of nine, and has been twelve years since then. He was a brave and war-making ambitious man, and he was famous for his tyranny and cruelty. He reigned for twelve years, launched nine wars, annexed countless cities, forcing the five countries to surrender and pay tribute every year.
The weakest Xia Kingdom is only one step away from the destruction of the Kingdom.
Chu is also a powerful country. He has been fighting with Qin for many years, and the other five countries have surrendered, but Chu has resisted stubbornly to this day.
Unfortunately, the battle of Yanling was defeated this time, and Qin broke through the three major defense barriers of Chu. Seeing that the country was in danger of destruction, the State of Chu hurriedly sent the Prince Lian to Qin as a property, and promised to show his surrender with gold, silver, jewelry, wealth, horses.
It is said to be a quasi-minded, but in fact it is a death. Qin and Chu fought for many years, and both sides hated each other to the core. A young man from Chu came to Qin was like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger. Even if he was immediately torn to pieces, it was normal.
He is the abandoned son of Chu.
Wei Lian's biological mother was just a palace maid, and she died after giving birth to him. Although he was the prince, he also experienced the warmth and warmth of human nature. He had already understood his destiny.
The envoy of Chu State entered the capital, but was not received by the King of Qin. He only received a message: "The young master stayed, and the rest of them returned home. I don't want to see him."
In this way, the envoy of Chu State left and Wei Lian was left. The only ones who stayed with him were Changsheng and Changshou, who served the two eunuchs who had been serving since childhood.
Wei Lian stayed in the inn for two days, but he did not wait for any summons.
He was calm and composed of flowers and tea, and Changsheng and Changsheng were so anxious that they were all around. Changsheng even said, "Young Master, let's run away."
These two confidants around him were quick-witted and talked happily. They were responsible for serving tea and water and serving each other with each other. Wei Lian often joked about him, and seemed to be closer to him. Changsheng was very skilled in martial arts, was serious and respectful to Wei Lian, and was never over the rules. However, Wei Lian could really give up the big things with confidence.
I'm afraid only Changsheng knows that the handsome and weak young master Lian is actually more skilled than him in martial arts. It is not impossible to escape from Qin.
"Escape?" Wei Lianman accidentally trimmed the branches, "Where can I escape?"
"The world is so great that as long as Yongping is out, where can you go, the young master be free and easy? With the young master's ability, you will never surrender!"
"All the king's land is the king's land." Wei Lian trimmed the flower branches into a beautiful shape and put down the scissors with satisfaction. "Even if I can escape from Yongping, I can't escape from Qin. If he escapes from Qin, as long as he gives the order from Qin, the six kings will help me, the sinner, and even my mother country is the only one. A single prince of Chu, and the other is the King of Qin with millions of troops. Changsheng, they know who to please."
After hearing this, Changsheng felt a sense of powerlessness from his heart: "But young master... If you don't run away, you will die... The King of Qin has not made any movement in the past two days. Who knows if he will issue an order tomorrow and execute you to calm the anger of the Qin people towards the Chu people?"
Wei Lianyun said calmly: "Then I will die."
Changsheng was stunned: "What did you say?"
"It may be lingchi, or the car is broken, or the King of Qin has given me a glass of poisonous wine with great mercy." Wei Lian raised his eyes and smiled, "If you die, why are you afraid?"
Changsheng lowered his eyes: "Young Master clearly...is not the one who sits and waits for death like this."
"Changsheng." Wei Lian smiled, "I can escape. But if I run away, what should I do?"
Changsheng said annoyedly: "The State of Chu has abandoned you, why do you have to worry about it!"
"I have no nostalgia. The palace of Chu is the same as that of Qin, and there is no warmth." Wei Lian shook his head gently, "Chu sent me here for a truce. If I escape, the King of Qin will be furious and start a war again. The one who died will be the millions of soldiers and people of Chu. I will exchange my life for their tens of millions of lives, which is worth it."
Changsheng was speechless. After a long time, he knelt on his knees and gave him a great gift from the State of Chu.
Wei Lian chuckled: "I'm not dead yet. Where is your appearance of seeing me off? Things may not be at the worst."
——On the third day, the Qin King's order came, not to be executed, but... he was granted the Wei Lian as the attendant and entered the palace to accompany him.
What is Shijun...
The King of Qin was twenty-one years old. Because of years of war, he was busy expanding territory and his harem was useless. Not only did he not enthrone the queen, but he also did not accept any concubines.
This is the first time I have accepted a man...
The harem is divided into two places, and there are four concubines and three ladies under the queen, and there are countless concubines. What is the purpose of serving the lord? No name or division, and it is equivalent to a concubine.
A concubine.
This is an absolute humiliation - even if it is the prince of Chu, so what? When Qin comes, he can only be a male pet or a thing.
The ministers of Qin obviously thought so, so they had no objection to His Majesty's entrust a man to the harem, and even applauded. Killing someone to kill his heart and letting a man lie down is even more painful than killing someone.
Your Majesty is really wise.
Changsheng Changshou heard the news and felt like a bolt from the blue. Changshou immediately turned red: "Young Master, the King of Qin is also bullying people too much, and he actually humiliated you so much!"
Wei Lian said: "Isn't this good? At least save your life."
Changshou cried, "It's better to die than to live in this world!"
Wei Lian: "...Don't do this, I still want to live."
Wei Lian still entered the palace.
Everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty appointed this as the Lord of the Lord, not favor, but humiliation, and naturally there was no good expression on him. After His Majesty had not summoned him for half a month, everyone became more convinced that Wei Lian's position was unbearable.
The palace servants who were not assigned to him to serve him were also free and easy. The food he sent was crude and could barely swallow as long as it was not rotten and cold. But this winter was really hard to bear.
In the winter, the weather was severe and cold, and the amount of charcoal fire in Wei Lian's palace was worse than that of the palace maids, and there was no thick bedding, only a thin quilt. If Wei Lian had not been skilled in martial arts, the man would have been unable to survive the severe winter.
Changshou went to the Interior Office to take charge, but was ridiculed and drove out.
Life is also difficult.
"Young master, the tea is cold, I'll change another pot." Changshou was only eighteen years old, but he was always worried. The tea sent to Qingzhu Pavilion is inferior to the inferior quality, and it is not just to drink it, but to cook a pot of hot tea and hold a warmer hand.
Wei Lian glanced at him and his eyes narrowed: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Changshou hurriedly retracted his hand into his sleeve, but Wei Lian held his wrist with a hand.
His ten fingers were swollen and he developed frostbite.
Wei Lian and Changsheng have martial arts skills, and are not afraid of the cold winter. Longevity cannot.
Changshou said anxiously: "Young master, it's not a big deal..."
"I still have some ointment there." Wei Lian's eyes drooped slightly, "You can use it in the third grid at the head of the bed first."
Changshou shook his head repeatedly: "No, young master, you should keep the ointment for yourself. The people in the Imperial Hospital do not care about us. Use a little bit of ointment, so you can't waste it here."
"Talk too much, this is my order." Wei Lian was unquestionable, "Go quickly."
Changshou covered his mouth and looked like he wanted to cry or not. He bowed and went to the inner room to get medicine.
Wei Lian looked at the pot of cold tea and was stunned for a while.
Then get up and close the window.
The room just recovered a little.
Changshou came out and saw that the window was closed, which was very touched.
The young master is taking care of him and can't stand the cold.
Although the temperature of recovery is nothing, the room is still cold.
Changshou feels warm in his heart.
_
As usual, dinner was eaten together by three people.
He was in a foreign country and was in a difficult situation. Wei Lian didn't care about the difference between master and servant, so he directly invited the two to have dinner together. Changsheng Changshou was quite restrained at the beginning, but he gradually relaxed over time.
In this situation, it is obviously impossible for them to be sent by a special person, so they need to receive it themselves. In the past, they received some steamed buns and cold noodles, which were not picky and were very comfortable.
Today, Changshou returned with red eyes.
"Why are you crying again?" Changsheng frowned, "Is the group of people in the imperial kitchen making things difficult for you again?"
