The Ugly Empress

Teng Yun felt extremely uncomfortable being held by the hand, and always wanted to pull it back, but Xue Junliang didn't realize it at all, and might feel that he was acting very gentle.

During the meal, she personally added vegetables to Teng Yunbu's meal, and Xiuyao felt flattered when she watched it, and even sent the imperial doctor to show the queen's face after the meal.

The scars on Teng Yun's face gradually fell off, revealing tender pink skin, but when the scars fell off, they were always itchy, and the sides of the scars would be red and dry. Teng Yun himself didn't feel anything, but Xue Junliang observed When we arrived, let the imperial physician prescribe ointment to apply.

The imperial doctor repeatedly assured that there would be no traces left after the scar fell off, so Xue Junliang let him go.

Xue Junliang applied the medicine on Teng Yun, and suddenly said with a smile: "My concubine is so fragrant."

Teng Yun didn't realize that the other party was teasing him, and said, "It's the aroma of ointment."

Xue Junliang sniffed the ointment decently, then shook his head and said, "The ointment is not as pleasant as Aifei's fragrance."

As he spoke, he even embraced Teng Yun and kissed Teng Yun's forehead lightly.

There was a burst of warmth on the forehead, although it was only a brief touch, but Teng Yun was shocked immediately, such a simple and gentle kiss was worse than the previous kiss on the mouth, Teng Yun frowned, leaned back, tried his best keep distance.

Xue Junliang seemed to be completely unaware, and said in surprise: "Did I hurt Aifei because of my heavy hands?"

Teng Yun couldn't say anything, so he pursed his lips and said, "Don't dare to work for Your Majesty, I'd better do it myself."

This time Xue Junliang didn't force him, he handed the ointment to Teng Yun readily, and said: "It's late today, so Gu will go back first, let Teng Shang come to the palace to see you in a few days, after all, I want to marry into Xue's family If you are a queen, you should teach him more rules, so as not to make people laugh."

After Xue Junliang finished speaking, he left, and Teng Yun felt a sense of irritability. He didn't know what Xue Houyang was thinking. According to King Xue, could it be that Xue Houyang still had feelings for Teng Shang?

However, Teng Shang and Wannianhou had no contact at all, and they had never even confronted each other on the battlefield. When Xue Houyang was a general, Teng Shang had already been recalled to the country by King Teng, and he seized the military power with some trivial matters. He never led the army again, and he was never allowed to go out of the capital of Teng Kingdom, let alone met and had any personal friendship.

Although Teng Yun was a little shocked by the fact that Teng Shang agreed to marry, he understood after a little thought that Teng Shang was loyal to Teng Guo, so he definitely wouldn't want to die.

In fact, as long as Xue Junliang lets go, it is indeed as he said, even if Xue Houyang is invincible on the battlefield, he must be inferior to Teng Chang in terms of scheming and thinking.

But thinking about it, I know how Xue Junliang let go easily, the reason of raising tigers is too simple, even if he loves his younger brother, he can't do this. I'm afraid he is still far away.

The matter of Wannianhou's wedding can be regarded as a major event of Xue Guo, and it has been proceeding in an orderly manner. Moreover, King Xue said that he must personally officiate the marriage, so naturally he cannot neglect it.

Xue Houyang and Teng Shang came into the palace together, and Teng Shang, as an "insider", was going to visit the queen in the harem, and Xue Houyang naturally chatted with Xue Junliang.

Seeing Xue Houyang's smug face, Xue Junliang couldn't help laughing: "That's enough, where is your ambition? Don't let people say that Wannianhou is a fearful lord."

Xue Houyang smirked and said, "Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me."

Xue Junliang said: "Although I agree to your marriage, you must know that Teng Shang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His thoughts are much deeper than that of a general like you. Whether you can impress him depends on yourself. Can't help much either."

Xue Houyang sighed, and said: "To be honest...my brother did not expect such things."

Xue Junliang said: "I think you get along pretty well, at least Teng Shang doesn't hide from you..."

He coughed and said, "Houyang, what do you mean when you say that a wife always avoids her husband? What can I do to make her not avoid you?"

"Ah..." Xue Houyang pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty...my brother is not married yet, these...don't quite understand."

Xue Junliang waved his hand and said, "Just ask casually."

But after finishing talking, I felt that there is no silver 300 taels here, and I wanted to say something about remedies, but Xue Houyang didn't pay attention, and continued: "Is there someone else in this wife's heart?"

Xue Junliang listened, his face sank with a "wow", Xue Houyang felt that he said something that shouldn't be said, and he couldn't speak directly.

Hearing this possibility, Xue Junliang couldn't sit still immediately, and suddenly remembered what Teng Qianyi said, that the queen and Teng Shang might be old acquaintances, and he just asked Teng Shang to visit the queen.

Xue Houyang stood anxiously, and heard Xue Junliang say: "It's almost time for lunch when I drive to Yunfeng Palace, I just have a family dinner."

Teng Shang came to see the queen. Although Teng Shang was going to marry, he was a man after all. Not everyone could see the queen, so he needed to be separated by a bead curtain.

Teng Shang was led into the hall by the palace servants, Xiuyao said that the empress was in the tea room, so she led Teng Shang to the tea room.

On the side of the main hall at the entrance of the tea room, there is a screen when you enter, and there is a table, bookcase and small case around it, with a bead curtain next to it, and a beauty couch inside.

Teng Shang lowered his head, put it down respectfully, and said, "Teng Shang pays respects to the empress."

Through the bead curtain, Teng Yun could also see the other party's expression clearly, especially Teng Shang lowered his head and faced the ground, so he couldn't see the expression.

It is not necessary for foreign ministers to bow on both knees when they have an audience. Kneeling can only worship the king of heaven and earth, and bow down to their parents. Monarchs of other countries generally do not bow down as long as they are not subordinates.

Teng Shang did not kneel down before seeing off his relatives, but at this time, he knelt on the ground because he is no longer a foreign minister, but will become the wife and wife of Wannian Hou Xue Houyang.

Teng Yun tried his best to keep his tone calm, and said, "Get up, Xiuyao will sit down."

Teng Shang's behavior was very respectful from the beginning to the end, and he thanked him before getting up and sitting down.

The two of them happened to be people who didn't talk much. Teng Shang didn't know that the other party was Teng Yun, so naturally he had nothing to say, and Teng Yun didn't know what to say.

Teng Shang is a man after all, in order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible to let Xiu Yao and the maid go out, there are so many eyes and ears in the harem, Teng Yun will not be so stupid as to make trouble for himself.And with others around, he couldn't say anything.

For a while, the two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xiuyao looked at the nose and the heart, and thought that the empress didn't like this Teng Shang, but in fact, it's no wonder, it's shocking for a man to be a concubine, who would like it, it's scary to say it.

Xiuyao took the opportunity to come out to refill the tea, just turned out of the tea room, before leaving the main hall, she saw Xue Junliang bringing Xue Houyang in.

Xiuyao didn't hear the transmission either, she was really startled, knelt down to pay her respects, but was stopped by Xue Junliang before she could speak.

Xue Junliang looked around, seeing neither Teng Yun nor Teng Shang in the main hall, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Where is the empress?"

Xiuyao said: "Your Majesty is in the tea room."

Xue Junliang did not step up to the tea room, but asked, "Has Teng Shang been here?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I haven't left yet, I'm in the tea room."

Only then did Xue Junliang step up to the tea room, which made Xiu Yao feel unbelievable.

Xue Junliang didn't ask anyone to notify him, and entered the tea room without a sound. Before turning the screen, there was no sound inside. When he turned around, he saw Teng Shang sitting on the side, and Teng Yun sitting behind the curtain, without any appearance of overstepping the rules. , Only then did I feel relieved.

Teng Shang glanced at Xue Junliang, but didn't see any big reaction, got up and knelt on the ground to pay his respects, but his calm appearance made Xue Houyang feel a little uncomfortable.

Although Xue Houyang had never met Teng Shang before, the two countries had been at war for so many years, and they had heard about Teng Shang's character to some extent.

It took a lot of patience for Teng Shang to ask Teng Shang to bow down to Xue Guo.

Xue Junliang walked over, the maid took the initiative to open the bead curtain, and Teng Yun also stood up to greet him.

Only at this time did Xue Junliang help Teng Yun up, and then said, "Teng Shang doesn't need to be formal, Houyang help him up soon."

Xue Houyang responded, and then went up to help Teng Shang, but Teng Shang did not refuse Xue Houyang's touch, his expression was still calm, and he didn't take it seriously.

Xue Junliang said: "Has the imperial doctor been here today?"

Listening to his unhurried question, Teng Yun said, "I've been here."

"Don't forget to apply the medicine. The imperial doctor said that the medicine must be taken continuously to be effective."

He was very concerned about what he said, and he didn't know if he wanted to listen to Teng Shang and Xue Houyang.

Xue Junliang cared enough about Teng Yun before he said to Xue Houyang: "After Houyang gets married, I still need you to escort the queen back to Fengguo to visit her relatives."

"The minister leads the decree." Xue Houyang said: "The minister will definitely ensure that the empress returns to the palace safely."

Xue Junliang smiled and said, "Naturally, there is nothing Gu trusts more than you, Houyang."

While talking, Jiang Yu came in with his head bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a secret report."

Xue Junliang said "Submit it", and Jiang Yu respectfully presented a note.

Xue Junliang took the note and glanced at it. The writing on it was very small, and the note was not too big. It stands to reason that even if Teng Yun stood close, he should not be able to see what it was.

It's just that Xue Junliang didn't know if it was on purpose, so he tilted the note, and Teng Yun clearly saw a row of tiny characters on it.

——Following the king is deceitful.

I couldn't see the signature below, and Xue Junliang pinched a corner.

Xue Junliang put the note into his wide sleeve after reading it, and didn't mention it again. He ordered Jiang Yu to serve meals in Yunfeng Palace, and let Xue Houyang and Teng Shang stay together, and everyone had a family feast.
