The Ugly Empress

Ruixue entered King Feng's bedroom, the curtains were drawn in the room, and the bed curtains were tightly covered.

She walked over and opened the curtain gently, Feng Ming didn't sleep, but lay face to face inside, looking at the patterns on the brocade quilt with open eyes.

Rui Xue said: "Your Majesty, do you want to get up, the master asked the servant to bring you some ointment."

As soon as Feng Ming heard Ruixue mentioning Zhao Lu, his eyes suddenly lit up, but they turned dark for a moment. Of course he knew what Zhao Lu was like, so how could he bring him some ointment?

King Feng didn't get up or move a bit, he lay down and said, "Princess Teng Guo will be in the territory of Xue Guo in a few days, right?"

"That's right, I heard that Xue Houyang, the Marquis of Ten Thousand Years, personally greeted you this time. The master has been very busy with these things... Your Majesty, don't blame the master for not coming. The master misses you very much."

Feng Ming laughed and said, "I know."

Just as he was talking, the servant was talking outside the door, and the left side asked to see him.

Ruixue frowned, "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well, and my maid helped you back off?"

"No need."

Feng Ming got up, asked Ruixue to wash and change clothes, and then discussed matters in the Nuan Pavilion with the left minister.

Zuo Xiang didn't sit down, but when he saw King Feng coming in, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Please resign and return to your hometown with your Majesty's grace."

Feng Ming sighed, helped the left minister on the ground, and said: "Why did Xiangye say that? Is there any dissatisfaction with the lonely king, Xiangye feel free to bring it up."

"The old minister dare not! It's just that the king told the old minister to say clearly that even if the old minister risked his death, he would not dare to deceive the Holy Majesty. All the ministers in the court have already complained about the Marquis Zhulu, and the Marquis Zhulu dismissed a group of officials this morning..."

Zuo Xiang was almost in tears, and kowtowed again: "The old minister knows that the Holy Majesty is very close to the Marquis, but he also begs the king to give us old ministers a way to survive, and allow us to resign and return to our hometown."

After Zuo Xiang finished speaking, his heart was still pounding. I don't know if these words offended His Majesty, otherwise he didn't hear anything for a long time, so he had to look up a little.

King Feng turned his back on his back, leaning on the table with one hand, and didn't know what he was thinking, when suddenly he heard Ruixue's scream.

Feng Ming tilted his body and fell to the ground suddenly.

Ruixue rushed up to help Feng Ming up, her whole body was hot from the hands, Feng Ming was already unconscious, closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was very uncomfortable.

Zhao Luben was meeting guests in the mansion, but Ruixue came back suddenly, and said in a hurry: "Master, please go into the palace and have a look, the king has passed out."

Zhao Lu's heart tightened, as if someone had pinched him, he subconsciously stood up from his seat, but stopped again.

All the ministers retreated wisely, saying they would come back when they found time.

Ruixue left when she saw everyone.Cai said: "Master, just go over and have a look, just now Prime Minister Zuo went to the palace to sue you, even if the king didn't say anything, he must be dissatisfied with you in his heart... Just coax the king, why not worry about it?"

Zhao Lu pondered for a while, "Prepare the horse and enter the palace."

-

The new concubine was about to enter the palace, and there were those in the harem who felt sorry for themselves, as well as disdainful. After all, Teng was a defeated country, and no matter how beautiful and talented the new concubine was, her status was not noble enough.

Since Xue Junliang asked the imperial hospital to dispense medicine to Teng Yun, Teng Yun obviously felt that his face had improved, and Xiuyao was the happiest. If the appearance of the empress improved, and with a romantic figure, King Xue would marry a few more brides. Concubine don't have to be afraid.

She is also a smart person, and she started to treat her mother's meals carefully, plus applying medicine and taking medicine, her improvement was very obvious.

The new concubine is about to enter the palace, which has already made the harem secretly restless, and now it is rumored that the ugly empress is a celestial figure, and several impatient concubines have already stepped across the threshold of Yunfeng Palace in the name of visiting patients.

Concubine De was quite calm, when she arrived at Yunfeng Palace, Teng Yun happened to be away, and the little prince Xue Pei was holding Teng Yun in the martial field.

Since Teng Yun passed by that day, although the little prince didn't say anything, he was more or less convinced in his heart. After all, he no longer thought that the queen was just a woman who talked about war on paper. Teng Yun didn't want to get close to the little prince. The crown prince is also the next King Xue. Teng State and Xue State have been fighting for more than ten years, and the enmity has been long. Apart from blood and life, Teng Yun doesn't know what else the two countries can use to offset it.

It's just that the little prince didn't know about this section, so he always got close to him and asked him to teach him how to read or shoot.

This reminded Teng Yun of many things in the past. At that time, they were very young. All the brothers studied and practiced martial arts together. Later, when they grew up, they formed cliques. Xue Junliang had only one son in his huge harem. good thing.

When Concubine De came, she saw the little prince pestering the ugly queen to practice riding and shooting.

I saw Teng Yun holding a light bow in one hand, even if he jumped on his horse, fell to the ground, quickly took a long arrow from his waist, took the bow and aimed at a series of smooth movements, and the arrow he shot hit the bull's-eye exactly.

Concubine De walked over clapping her hands and said with a smile: "The empress is so good at it. People say that Fengguo is the world on horseback. My younger sister just learned it today."

After Concubine De concubine finished speaking, she saw Teng Yun riding back on horseback. As expected, the bruise on her face was much better, and the color of her skin was gradually revealed. It seems that the imperial doctor also paid a lot of money. The skin was like a newborn baby. She was sweating a little, and the faintly exposed neck at the neckline was dyed a light pink.

Concubine De's heart was greatly shaken. Although Xue Junliang usually likes softer beauties, which king doesn't like softer beauties, they are obedient and able to speak during the trial, which is the most suitable for the king's heart, after all, the monarch has been tired all day in court .

It's just that it is inevitable that His Majesty is also tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and the king's mind has never been guessed.

Concubine De saw that no one was talking, so she laughed again, looking very familiar, "Sister's face has really improved a lot, she is a real beauty, no wonder the Holy One favors her."

Xue Pei heard her yin and yang, and knew that it was because she was favored that she was confident. After all, no matter how much the queen's face got better, she still couldn't compare with her.

And the first sentence she said when she came, "Fengguo is the world on horseback", and praised the queen's kung fu, people with long ears can hear it, which means that the queen has a different surname and knows martial arts. Tiger infestation.

Before Xue Pei had a fit, Teng Yun sneered. He lightly urged his horse, walked up to Concubine De, and said in a cold voice: "Whether King Xue favors me or not is the same thing. If you are a concubine, will you kneel down when you see the queen?" Another thing."

Xue Junliang was watching the memorial in the Nuan Pavilion, when he heard someone crying outside, he called Jiang Yu in, and Jiang Yu said, "It's the maid next to Concubine De, crying that the Empress has hated Concubine De for a long time, and she is being tortured in the martial arts arena."

Xue Junliang couldn't react at first, but he just laughed. This ugly queen really always surprises herself.

He called the maid in, and the maid threw herself on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, please save Defei quickly..."

The palace maid was sobbing and crying miserably, she wiped her tears and said: "Your Majesty just praised the empress for her good skills, saying that Fengguo is the world on horseback, and the empress blamed the concubine De for her rude words...Your Majesty, hurry up Go save Defei Empress!"

No matter who Xue Junliang was, he naturally heard these words of avoiding the important and neglecting the important, but even though he didn't say it on weekdays, he also knew that Concubine De was favored and arrogant, but there was no trouble in the harem, so he didn't bother to take care of it.

Xue Junliang himself wanted to watch the excitement, but he was afraid that if he appeared on the stage, it would cause Concubine De to cry, and his ears were not clean, so he asked Jiang Yu to pass on his oral instructions.

Jiang Yu went up to listen to the order, and the maid thought that King Xue had asked Director Jiang to save Concubine De, so she kowtowed to thank her, and she couldn't help leaving with a happy face.

The maid thought that she had moved to save the soldiers, and when she returned to the martial arts field, she threw herself next to Concubine De to prevent anyone from being tortured.

Concubine De's arrogance had just been extinguished, and seeing Jiang Yu suddenly came back, he also thought that it was King Xue who came to save him, and pretended to be pitiful, hoping to love her.

Teng Yun asked someone to move a chair, the crown prince also sat on the side, looking very leisurely, Xiuyao stood honestly behind and watched the excitement, of course she knew what kind of temper her mother had, she was very talkative on the surface, and her temper was soft and easy-going , just don't make him anxious, just like the slap I got before, I still feel a little trembling in my heart.

Jiang Yu greeted Teng Yun and Xue Pei, and said with a smile, "This old slave is here to pass on the dictation of the Holy Master, so he will leave after speaking."

He said, facing Concubine De, and said: "Your Majesty has something to say, since the Phoenix Seal is in the Queen's hands, the Queen will be in charge of everything in the harem. Next time someone who trespasses on the Nuan Pavilion because of a trivial matter will be severely punished."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he knelt down to Teng Yun and Xue Pei, and retreated.

Liu Defei's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard.

Teng Yun actually didn't want to get to know Concubine De as well, but he was always annoyed by Xue Junliang's concubine these days. Every day, this concubine or other wife came to visit him to pay his respects, some tempted, some provoked, and some tried to win him over.

Concubine De didn't come at the right time, the new concubine was going to Beijing early tomorrow morning, which meant that Teng Shang was going to the capital too, and Teng Yun was very irritable, Concubine De happened to be a punching bag.

Jiang Yu's edict was terrible, the harem changed immediately, the concubine De had fallen out of favor, no matter how beautiful she looked, it turned out that His Majesty liked concubines who had both ability and political integrity, civil and martial arts.

That night when Jiang Yu came to ask King Xue for instructions on which concubine to sleep with, Xue Junliang threw the vermilion pen on the table and rubbed his forehead.
