The Ugly Empress

Xue Yu put down his hands unhurriedly, as if this kind of gesture was an ordinary greeting, and there was nothing out of bounds.

Xue Junliang had a faint smile on his face, showing no emotion.

When everyone saw this situation, they couldn't help trembling in their hearts, and they all knelt down and shouted long live.

Xue Junliang helped Teng Yun up, and said with a smile: "I can't wait for the left and right, so you met here, are you reminiscing about the old days?"

Xue Yu knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Return to Your Majesty, I have not been to Beijing for several years, and I feel a lot of emotion."

Xue Junliang's tone was a bit unfathomable, and he said, "Oh, yes, I will also catch up with Gu at that time."

After he finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to flatten, and then walked towards the garden.

All the ministers had been waiting for a long time, only a few people passed by.

Xue Junliang said a few polite words, and after that, the singer performed the dance, King Xue and the Queen sat at the top, Xue Houyang was next, and after that was Xue Yu, Xue Yu was not as good as Marquis of Wannian in terms of seniority or official rank, just listening to the title He knew which one Xue Junliang trusted more.

Xue Yu is well-dressed without being too eye-catching, and she is gentle and elegant, with a gentle manner, and looks quite good-tempered, with a faint smile all the time, but her eyes are always glanced at her boss intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, it wasn't Xue Junliang who saw it, but Teng Yun.

As a minister, it is his duty to observe words and demeanor, so he naturally noticed Xue Yu's gaze, and tried his best to pretend not to see it.

Today, Xue Junliang is also more gentle, talking to Teng Yun in a tone that can almost pinch water, and it looks sticky. Teng Yun doesn't even need to raise his hand. Xue Wang personally serves vegetables and pours tea, which is like a good show of affection between husband and wife. .

Jiang Yu and Xiuyao couldn't hold back standing behind, Xiuyao just wanted to wipe off her sweat. Although she felt that His Majesty doted on the empress, she hadn't reached the point of serving vegetables by herself. After all, this kind of work was not done by the king. These palace people stood still, really a little hairy.

Teng Yun glanced at Xue Yu who was sitting not far away. Of course he knew that Xue Yu couldn't possibly be deeply affectionate for the queen. If that was the case, why did he suddenly come to Beijing after all these years of enduring it?

Xue Junliang used to use all his troops to fight against Teng State. Although he is now in a victorious posture, the country is empty and he is recuperating. Xue Yu will never have any good intentions when he comes to Beijing at this time.

Teng Yun doesn't want to take care of Xue Junliang and Xue Yu's affairs, but the premise is not to provoke himself, because Teng Yun's current identity is the head of the Feng Kingdom, and being in the Xue Kingdom can be regarded as a dependent, so Xue Junliang and Xue Yu also often use him As a cover.

After drinking for three rounds, Teng Yun got tired of sitting and didn't bother to watch their smirks as they came and went, so he said goodbye to Xue Junliang and left the table first.

Xue Junliang naturally wouldn't be angry, and smiled ambiguously: "Did you get tired last night? Thank you for your hard work."

Teng Yun immediately thought of what happened last night, and his skin was rarely hot, even his palms were hot, so he hurriedly backed off with a vague sentence.

Teng Yun walked back with Xiuyao, he drank some wine, he seemed a little drunk, if he was not drunk before, but now his body is weak, the drunkenness hits his head, and he feels dizzy and uncomfortable.

He didn't go back to the bedroom, but walked around in the small garden, the weather was cold, even though it was cold by the wind, he felt much more comfortable.

Xiuyao said: "Your Majesty, go back, it's cold here, if you get sick again, you'll be in trouble."

Teng Yun agreed, but he didn't leave. He was dizzy, and he didn't seem to feel comfortable without the cool breeze. It was the same in the military camp before. The soldiers ate and lived together, and the imperial court always delayed the appropriation of funds, and the food and salaries could not keep up. The cool breeze was also a kind of enjoyment.

Teng Yun recalled some past events, perhaps prompted by drunkenness, he felt a little emotional, he was in the intrigue of Xue Guo, and he couldn't protect himself if he was not careful. He hadn't seen Teng Shang for more than half a month. Men, too, cannot often enter the palace.

Teng Yun sighed, and heard someone sighing too, a young man in green shirt turned around from the other side of the small pavilion, it was Xue Yu.

Xue Yu came over and said with a smile, "Why is your empress sighing?"

Teng Yun didn't even look at him, and said, "Why isn't Lord Hou at the banquet?"

Xue Yu laughed, took a step forward, and said, "Of course it's because of Yunmei."

Xiuyao took a deep breath, she didn't dare to speak, she has been serving the queen, she absolutely doesn't believe that there is anything between these two people, but she has to believe what Xue Yu said.

Teng Yun also laughed, and said in a very natural tone: "Master Hou may have admitted the wrong person."

"Sister Yun said so..."

Xue Yu was still smiling, but tinged with a trace of disappointment, which seemed to be the same thing, and said: "I think you must have something hard to say when you say that."

Teng Yun glanced at him and said, "Master Hou, let's go back. The banquet is a reception banquet, and it would be inappropriate without Master Hou."

Seeing the other party's indifferent expression, Xue Yu's expression finally changed slightly, but his smile returned instantly, "Sister Yun forgot, our agreement..."

Teng Yun glanced at him again, "I never remember."

"Really?" Xue Yu's face darkened, and he sneered, "I should have known... How did we say it back then, you are really ruthless, did King Xue spoil you recently, and made you forget what you should remember?"

Xiuyao changed face after seeing Zhenjiang, her voice was a little scary, and she boldly said: "Master Hou...please respect yourself."

Xue Yu glanced at Xiuyao coldly, didn't take Xiuyao seriously at all, and then turned to stare at Teng Yun, who was about to speak when he heard a voice.

The little prince Xue Pei ran over and threw himself into Teng Yun's arms, almost causing Teng Yun to stagger.

Xue Pei said innocently: "Mother and stepmother, why didn't you go back to the palace so that your son can find it easily."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xue Yu in astonishment and said, "Little Uncle Huang is here, and Emperor Father is still looking for Uncle Huang everywhere. The ministers all want to toast, but they can't find anyone."

Xue Yu slightly lowered his head to look at Xue Pei's innocent look, and the counselor behind him, Lang Jing, said softly, "Lord Hou."

Xue Yu then withdrew his eyes and said, "I was bored after drinking too much wine, so I walked over without knowing it."

After he finished speaking, he took Lang Jing back.

Xue Pei watched him walk away, then stretched out his hand to pat his chest, and said, "Queen, why did you mess with such a fox."

Teng Yun smiled and said, "How old are you, can you tell who is a fox?"

Xue Pei said: "My son will also be a general in the future, and he will go to the battlefield to stabilize the country and settle the country. Why can't you see it, besides, I am not young anymore."

It is true that Xue Pei is almost eight years old. Although he only started reading at the age of six, the influence of the study room is far from the worldly sophistication of the imperial palace.

The children in the Forbidden Palace already know what is false before they go to the study, not to mention Xue Pei is so smart.

Xue Pei felt that he had done a first-class meritorious deed, so he was inevitably overjoyed. When he looked up, he saw Xue Junliang. The little prince was held up by others since he was a child. Although he was delicate, Xue Junliang did not spoil him. All in awe.

Seeing that Xue Pei restrained his smile, Teng Yun followed his gaze to see Xue Junliang, who was only followed by Jiang Yu.

Xue Junliang came over, patted Xue Pei on the head, and said, "How many drinks?"

Xue Pei stuck out her tongue, licked her fleshy cheeks, and said, "My son only took two sips..."

As he spoke, he accidentally caught Xue Junliang's half-smile eyes, and continued: "Just... just two glasses."

"Okay." Obviously Xue Junliang's purpose was not to educate the little prince, he asked a few words casually, and then said, "I have to go to the study in the afternoon, don't be lazy."

"My son knows."

Xue Pei nodded and left honestly.

Xiuyao had been standing in the back watching her mind, when Xue Junliang suddenly appeared, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had come prepared, if the crown prince hadn't come out and chased Xue Yu away, King Xue was probably the one who came out.

Xue Junliang said: "Drink a few glasses of wine, Aifei will accompany Gu for a walk."

Teng Yun agreed, and his heart was beating. Hearing Xue Yu's tone just now, it seems that the chief lord of Fengguo had indeed had contact with him before, and it didn't seem like he had feelings. If he had feelings, why would Xue Yu show that A threatening expression.

Teng Yun only wanted to protect himself, and then left Xue Guo. He didn't want to be used by Xue Junliang, and he didn't want to get involved with anyone in Xue Guo, but the facts were always different from his thoughts.

Xue Junliang said: "What did Aifei and Marquis of Zhenjiang talk about just now?"

Teng Yun squinted his eyes, and just replied: "The concubine and Lord Hou have nothing to say." When Jiang Yu and Xiuyao heard Teng Yun's blunt tone, their hearts skipped a beat. Laughed, "I hear this sentence."

Teng Yun said: "Just telling the truth."

"Ah."

Xue Junliang pondered for a while, "Gu likes to be open and honest, and Aifei really surprises Gu more and more."

After a pause, he said again: "Then let's tell the truth."

As he spoke, he waved his hands and sent Xiuyao and Jiang Yu away.

Teng Yun said: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Only then did Xue Junliang continue: "Is Xue Yu in the heart of my concubine?"

"No."

Xue Junliang kept staring into Teng Yun's eyes, and was not surprised to hear him answer so quickly, and said, "I'm telling the truth, I'm dubious about Aifei's words... I always think Aifei Bingxue is smart, so I want Aifei to think about it." Ideas, to prove your words."

Teng Yun didn't speak, and waited quietly for Xue Junliang's scheming words.

Seeing his expression, Xue Junliang laughed, and also stretched out his hand to gently caress the scar beside Teng Yun's ear. He thought he didn't have too deep feelings for this queen, but his own person was being spied on by others, let alone a person. No one will feel comfortable when he is the king of the country.

When Teng Yun was touched by him, he subconsciously thought of what happened last night and trembled.

Seeing him blushing slightly, Xue Junliang suddenly felt better, and said, "It's actually very simple... The Marquis of Zhenjiang brought a thousand soldiers along with him, Gu just wanted to keep these 1000 people, and see if Aifei has any good ideas. "
