The Ugly Empress

Teng Shang didn't know who Teng Yun was, so naturally he didn't respond, he just saluted, only Teng Yun felt uncomfortable.

When the two of them entered the main hall, Jiang Yu shook his head inwardly. Judging by His Majesty's attitude, he must have suspected that there was someone else in the empress's heart. Although Teng Shang and the empress didn't know each other, Jiang Yu could tell when they met several times. Well, the king is actually very wary of Teng Shang.

After all, Jiang Yu also heard what Teng Qianyi said.

Although Jiang Yu wanted to help the peaceful queen, but he was also powerless, and the empress finally recovered her face, which caused rumors and gossip.

Seeing Teng Yun and Teng Shang coming in together, Xue Junliang felt a little uncomfortable. Although it is not true that an emperor has such deep feelings for his concubine, all emperors have a common problem, that is, domineering, and the world belongs to him. , let alone a concubine.

Xue Junliang asked Teng Yun to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "Why, did you come together?"

Teng Yun said: "I just met it at the gate of the palace."

Xue Junliang kept smiling, and glanced at Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu quickly nodded slightly, expressing that this was indeed the case, and what he said was true.

Although Xue Houyang has a relatively straightforward nature, he and Xue Wang are brothers since childhood, and they know Xue Wang's mind best. Seeing Xue Junliang's seemingly vague smile, he couldn't help shivering, thinking about finding a kung fu and Teng Shang said, don't touch Xue Wang's nilin without knowing it, it is very wronged.

The first emperor of Xue State passed away, and the mother and queen of Xue Junliang and Xue Houyang died young. Now the eldest brother is like a father, Xue Houyang and Teng Shang are going to offer tea to King Xue and the queen.

After serving tea, Xue Junliang didn't stop them, and let them go after saying a few polite words.

Xue Junliang didn't mention Teng Shang's matter again, just said: "It's rare to have time, let's go for a walk with Gu."

Jiang Yu immediately ordered the palace servants to bring two fur cloaks and put them on for King Xue. Xue Junliang took the other one and put it on Teng Yun himself.

Xue Junliang just walked casually without any destination, followed by many maids carrying wine and fruit plates.

Xue Junliang said: "The matter of Wannianhou's wedding has also come to an end. Counting the matter of Aifei visiting relatives has been delayed a lot, Aifei thinks when is the right time to leave."

"It's up to His Majesty to decide."

Xue Junliang nodded, and his mood was improved a lot by this sentence, but in fact he was not waiting for this sentence, he was waiting for the queen to express his intentions, as long as the queen said that he did not want to return to Fengguo, Xue Junliang would definitely not let him Walk.

But Teng Yun was waiting for Xue Junliang to let him go...

Xue Junliang said: "My concubine's complexion is not good recently, could it be that the old disease on her face has recurred?"

Teng Yun lowered his eyes all the time, looking very dutiful and respectful, "It's my concubine who occasionally feels the cold, and her face is almost healed."

Xue Junliang smiled and said, "It's almost better."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lift Teng Yun's chin, and narrowed his eyes slightly to stare at the other's face, "Ai Fei is really getting more and more beautiful."

Teng Yun suppressed the urge to slap the opponent's hand off, but said nothing.

Xue Junliang waited for a long time, and had no choice but to say again: "Gu heard that Aifei and Fengwang are twins, they must look alike."

Teng Yun had never met King Feng, so naturally he didn't know what he looked like, so he said vaguely, "Yes."

Xue Junliang said: "Then my concubine should tell Gu about what happened when you were a child."

Hearing this, Teng Yun felt a "thud" in his heart. He thought that King Xue had seen some flaws, and began to have doubts, so he asked him to talk about the things that happened when Lord Feng was a child.

"Return to Your Majesty," Teng Yun said in a nonchalant manner, "Actually, the life in the Emperor's House is almost the same. The concubines are afraid that Your Majesty will feel bored."

"Right."

Xue Junliang seemed to recall something, and sat in the small pavilion with his clothes lifted. The maids and servants filed in and put the fruit plate and wine on the table, and then retreated.

Xue Junliang signaled Teng Yun to sit down too, and continued: "When I was young, I didn't understand anything. I felt that there were not enough brothers and sisters, and they were always not lively and not close... Only when I grew up did I realize that not being close is not because there are not enough relatives... but It's too much."

He smiled and sighed: "Gu only has Houyang as a younger brother now, so Fang thinks it's a good match..."

Teng Yun listened, although he felt that Xue Junliang was hypocritical, but it was true as he said, his own country is also like this, I am wary of my son, fearing that the prince is too good to take his place, the older I get, the more afraid I am, and I send all capable people to him. Going out, sending out and fearing that there will be too much military power and rebellion.

And the princes have to form factions, and they will be suspected and excluded if they are alone, and they have to win over ministers to get married.

Teng Yun lived for 29 years in his previous life, and it was impossible for him not to have a wife, but when he died, he did not have a wife.

The prince's wife and family are all the daughters of the family, which pampered and spoiled lady of the family can allow her husband to leave for ten years, and even if he comes back occasionally and stays for less than a month, he has to set off again.

There is no backbone in the mansion, just like being a widow.

The first time Teng Yun came back triumphantly, his first wife cried and begged him to divorce her, so that he could kindly let her go back to her mother's house.

Teng Yun was also in a bad mood at the time, until he was captured and killed, he, the iron general, had no heirs, no one picked up his ashes, and no one guarded the mourning hall for him.

Seeing his expression, Xue Junliang also knew that Teng Yun was touched by his words, and thought that his queen would have a hard time in Fengguo.

I heard that King Feng was cruel and merciless, and the Elder Master Feng Yun was married off because he offended Feng Ming. The reason for offending Feng Ming was very simple.

After Xue Junliang talked so much, the queen still didn't see anything to say, since it was so hard in Fengguo, why didn't she ask to stay.Xue Junliang, who was born on the other hand, is also a person who has no steps and can't be embarrassed. There are more than three thousand beauties in the harem, and there is not a lot without him.

Xue Junliang said: "It's understandable that I love my concubine and feel homesick, but the matter of visiting relatives will not be too fast, and things need to be arranged. Why is my concubine also the queen of Xue Guo, so visiting relatives always needs some pomp."

After Xue Houyang and Teng Shang got married, they never acted more aggressively, and they went out early and returned late every day.

The queen's family visit can't be wrong. If the escort is not good enough, it may cause the two countries to go to war. In fact, everyone knows Feng Wang's intentions. Xue Houyang will quietly transfer troops back to the capital while preparing for the family visit.

It is not a small matter to transfer troops. Before the soldiers have used the food, it needs money, and it has to be done secretly, so that King Feng can't get the news.

This preparation took more than two months to go out, and Teng Yun never saw Teng Shang again.

When the departure date was set, Teng Yun couldn't sit still any longer.

Teng Yun was always afraid that he would have a lot of unnecessary troubles in Xue Country, especially when his ugly lady was cured suddenly, and he was favored by outsiders. Many concubines were staring at Yunfeng Palace covetously.

Teng Yun avoided trouble if he could, but now that his departure was imminent, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Let Xiuyao invite Teng Shang to the palace. Fortunately, Teng Shang's identity is Wannianhou's wife, so it is reasonable to enter the palace and chat with the queen.

It is still to invite guests to the tea room, but this time Teng Yun is not sitting inside the bead curtain.

Teng Shang knelt down to pay his respects and gave him a seat.

Teng Yun knew that he couldn't say it clearly, but he didn't say that it might be the last time. It would be best if he could escape. If he couldn't escape, it would definitely be a death penalty, whether he died at the hands of King Feng or Xue Junliang again.

"Although I am in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, I have also heard many stories of loyalty and righteousness. I often hear Mr. Teng's name."

At first Teng Chang thought that the empress was here to persuade him to surrender, but he vaguely felt that many of the words were familiar.

After all, he and Teng Yun hadn't seen each other for many years. Even the few times when Teng Yun returned to the imperial court triumphantly, he had a hasty welcome feast and then left.

Teng Shang's memory of Teng Yun still stays when he was young.

Teng Shang said: "Your Majesty loves you."

Teng Yun smiled wryly, "It's getting colder today, Mister Teng, please add more clothes."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling Xiuyao to see off the guests.

Although Teng Chang knew that it was inconvenient for this strange lady to say something, but she didn't know what she was referring to. When I thought about it, I really felt very strange. The queen is the head of the state of Feng, and I am from the state of Teng. It doesn't matter.

Xue Houyang had to keep a distance from the queen a few days ago, which was very strange.

Xue Junliang listened to Jiang Yu's reply, put down his ink brush as if nothing had happened, and said, "What do you mean the queen recruited Teng Shang?"

Jiang Yu said: "The old slave is dull, and he can't figure out the intention of the empress."

"Gu also can't figure it out."

-

Early in the morning of the second day, the team escorting the queen to visit her relatives was about to leave, and King Xue saw them off in person.

Xue Junliang was helped onto the chariot with the hanging tent, and he stretched out his hand to help Teng Yun get into the chariot. Although it was only a vain support, it was considered a supreme honor to make the king of a country bend down slightly and lower his head.

The car is very big, with soft seats inside, it is very spacious, not to mention two people, even five or six people are more than enough.

Xue Junliang and Teng Yun sat inside without talking. Xue Junliang closed his eyes, as if he was resting his mind.

The chariot walked very steadily, but shook slightly, and after an unknown amount of time, the car stopped suddenly, and Jiang Yu's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Ten Mile Pavilion has arrived."

Xue Junliang opened his eyes just now, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, someone immediately raised the curtain and put the low stool, asking Xue Wang to get out of the car.

Not far in front of the car were the knelt pavilion chief and a bunch of post officials.

It was snowing at this time, and the ground was covered with white snow. Although it was only a thin layer, it made Shiliping a bit magnificent.
