The Ugly Empress

Just as Teng Yun was about to nod, seeing Xue Junliang's smile, his heart skipped a beat, and he jumped up again, his face involuntarily becoming hot.

Xue Junliang naturally did not allow Teng Yun to reject him, and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Yu stood silently at the back all the time, naturally understood what it meant, and hurriedly asked the palace servants to hold the lanterns to illuminate King Xue and Marquis Tengnan.

Teng Yun's hand was held by Xue Junliang all the time, he wanted to pull it back, but Xue Junliang didn't let go, and Teng Yun didn't dare to pull it anymore, so he let him hold it.

Xue Junliang felt that the atmosphere was just right, and when he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do some little tricks, he saw candlelight in front of him, and someone walked towards him.

Xue Junliang took a closer look, and it turned out to be the prince Xue Pei and the three brothers of the He family.

The three of the He family lined up, like robbers blocking the road, holding a big knife in their hands, with a fierce look on their faces, and the little prince stood in front of them, with his arms folded with a mature face.

When they saw Xue Junliang approaching, they panicked a little, as if they didn't expect King Xue to pass by.

Xue Junliang smiled and said, "What is the emperor doing?"

"Son...son..."

As soon as the little prince was asked, he became stuttering, and he hesitated immediately, and the three people behind him also lost their positions, but Xue Pei hesitated for a while, as if he mustered up his courage, and said: "I don't want to hide it from my father. , my son is here to stop Marquis Tengnan!"

"Oh?"

Xue Junliang said: "What are you doing to stop Teng Qing?"

Xue Pei coughed, as if to cheer herself up, and then said loudly: "My son thinks that Marquis Teng Nan is not worthy of living in Yunfeng Palace. He is neither a queen nor worthy of being a queen. Since ancient times, Yunfeng Palace has only been queens of great kings." liveable."

Xue Junliang just laughed when he heard it, the meaning was unclear, and the little prince shrank his neck.

Teng Yun knew that Xue Pei was dissatisfied with him because Teng Ying set fire to Yunfeng Palace. Although he was not Teng Ying, he used this body now, so it was irrefutable.

In this way, the little prince Xue Pei is actually a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Although he is a little young, his actions are a little too extreme.

Teng Yun was afraid that Xue Junliang would blame Xue Pei, so he said: "I do feel that I have no virtue and incompetence. If I live in Yunfeng Palace, I may cause rumors."

"Who will gossip?"

Xue Junliang didn't give Teng Yun any room to back down, and said with a smile: "I think the ability to know people alone is not bad. Teng Qing has great ability to quell the rebellion, but he thinks that the lower ones can tolerate the higher ones and can persuade them. Why is he not worthy?"

The little prince poked his neck and said: "What Ke Erchen heard is totally different. Teng Ying's reputation has always been bad, and she only flatters... Father Emperor has also taught Erchen that to convince others is not just what you say verbally." , but take out strength to do something.”

Xue Junliang said: "Then what do you want?"

Xue Peidao: "My son dares to ask Teng Nanhou to compare with the He brothers. If we can win and convince everyone, my son is not an unreasonable person, and he will definitely not mess around. Moreover, it is up to the father to deal with it. If you want to punish your son And I won't regret it."

"Why not?"

"Otherwise, if my son is standing here, even if Marquis Teng Nan can enter Yunfeng Palace, he won't be able to stop the crowd!"

Seeing the stalemate between the two, Teng Yun suddenly smiled and said: "The prince wants to try my humble minister's kung fu, why be so serious, since His Majesty is also interested today, why not dare to try my hand."

He paused for a while, and said: "If you compete with the three, whoever loses and who wins will inevitably lose their temper. How about comparing riding and shooting?"

The three of them were all generals, and riding and shooting on the battlefield was the most important thing. Naturally, they were not afraid of Teng Yun's request and agreed immediately.

Xue Junliang saw Teng Yun smiling, but the demeanor in his eyes was inevitable, he suddenly lost his mind for a moment, he still remembered seeing Teng Yun on the battlefield back then, he was so compelling, so eye-catching, this person was born A general should be so sharp by nature.

Xue Junliang laughed, Teng Yun turned his head to look at him, thinking there was something wrong with him, but seeing Xue Junliang's gentle smile on his face, drinking some wine, it seemed that the usual indifference and estrangement had been removed, he lightly He patted Teng Yun's shoulder lightly, and said softly: "That's just right. I have never had the chance to see General Teng's demeanor. I should take a good look at it now. I think General Teng will not let me down."

The person Teng Yun is most afraid of is the toughness of others, because he also has a set of iron bones, and he has never suffered from suffering since he was a child, but he is afraid of others speaking softly to him, because King Teng has many sons, and there is no shortage of him. People, Teng Yun was born like a child without a father, and his mother died young. No one would treat him tenderly and love him. Teng Shang was the first person who treated him well. He remembered Teng Shang all his life, and now the second The one person who treats him well is actually Xue Junliang.

Teng Yun rolled his throat, opened his mouth, and finally said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will do my best."

Xue Junliang ordered people to hold the lamps, and everyone came to the martial field next to them, holding torches around them. The sparks dotted in the dark night seemed very spectacular. On the vast martial field, there was a tragic illusion, just like a battlefield.

Jiang Yu asked for horses to be brought in. The three He family members and Teng Yun each had a horse. An archery target was placed in the distance, and two torches were erected next to it for illumination. It's hard to see clearly, and the four of them want to shoot arrows on horseback, which is even more difficult.

However, this kind of riding and shooting is trivial to the four of them. It is inevitable that there will be sneak attacks at night or the capture of strongholds at night when marching and fighting. The soldiers will practice riding and shooting in the dark.

The three of the He family had their own bows and arrows, and they ordered someone to fetch them. Teng Yun asked Jiang Yu to help him find a bow. Unexpectedly, Teng Yun weighed it and said with a smile, "Boss Jiang, please find another light bow. After drinking, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull such a strong bow."

The little prince and the three of He sneered at this, they couldn't even pull the bow, how could they shoot an arrow, the stronger the bowstring, the faster the arrow and the greater the power of the shot, change to a light bow , will only be ridiculed as a layman.

All four of them got on their horses neatly. Teng Yun carried a few arrows on his back, held the reins in one hand, and held a light bow in the other. The three of them from the He family glanced at Teng Yun's side, and they drank the horse tacitly and came out.

Teng Yun also shook the reins and followed them. The bowstrings of the three of He's men were strong, so they would naturally shoot arrows from a distance away. Teng Yun was not in a hurry at first, watching them draw the bows, he also let go of the reins , took out three long arrows from the back, and drew the bowstring with both hands.

It's just that his arrows didn't aim at the target. At the moment when the three of He's bows and arrows were shot, Teng Yun also found the right time and let go of the bowstring suddenly. The three long arrows were mixed with the sound of the wind. Duo duo" three times, and a few more slight noises, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Teng Yun shot three arrows without stopping at all, and immediately drew out the last long arrow, put it on the bow, twisted his body and let go, without checking whether the arrow hit the target, he turned his horse's head in an instant back again.

Jiang Yu asked people to hold up a torch to see, but there was only one arrow on the target, and Teng Yun could no doubt see the color of the arrow.

Jiang Yu asked people to look for the long arrows of the three of the He family, and found Teng Yun's three arrows stuck in the ground not far away, and beside them were three long arrows that had been chopped off.

Jiang Yu put all the arrows on a wooden plate and presented them to Xue Junliang.

Xue Junliang picked up the broken arrow with a smile, and said, "How, are you convinced?"

The little crown prince Xue Pei's face turned red and then turned white, and the three of the He family looked at their own arrows in amazement, and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

Xue Junliang saw that they didn't speak, and didn't force them, so he said: "In that case, let's leave, it's getting late."

Xue Pei couldn't say anything. He joked about Teng Yun changing the light bow earlier, but even if the other party used a light bow, he could easily cut off the arrows of the three of them.

The little prince could only grit his teeth, knelt down to say goodbye, and then ran away without a trace.

Xue Junliang laughed and said: "If the crown prince troubles you in the future, you can definitely teach him a lesson."

Teng Yundao: "Although the prince is still young, he is a man who values ​​love and righteousness, is upright and talented, and will definitely become a talent in the future."

"Oh……"

Xue Junliang suddenly smiled ambiguously, and said: "Teng Qing seems to have a good opinion of the prince, but that's fine, the orphan's son is naturally your son."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Teng Yun's heart jumped in shock, Xue Junliang's previous actions and words were just ambiguous, but now his words could not be more clear.

Xue Junliang said: "Let's go, I haven't changed my clothes yet."

Teng Yun was so frightened that Xue Junliang took him to Yunfeng Palace. Today, Yunfeng Palace is full of happy red, even the bed curtains were replaced by Ruixue. The cups and cups of Heyuan are very conspicuous.

Xue Junliang asked Ruixue to bring a clean dress, Ruixue said with a smile: "Since the banquet is finished, why not wear wedding clothes."

Xue Junliang said "poor mouth", but he didn't mean to blame her. He knew that Teng Yun was thin-skinned, so he couldn't help teasing him, and said, "Let's go soon."

Ruixue backed away with a giggle, and after a while brought another bright red wedding dress, and then backed off.

Only Xue Junliang and Teng Yun were left in the inner room, Teng Yun suddenly didn't know what to do, took the clothes and said: "I have the guts to ask Your Majesty to move away, so that I can change clothes."

Xue Junliang smiled and said: "Why don't you just avoid it, I'll help you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to untie Teng Yun's clothes. Teng Yun took a step back as if he had been picked up by fire, but he didn't want to hit the bed, and his face turned even redder.

Xue Junliang saw that there was no way for him to retreat, so he naturally went to untie his belt, helped him take off his coat and threw it on the bed, and took clean wedding clothes for him to put on.

Teng Yun was used to being served by others, but he had never been served by Xue Junliang, so his movements were inevitably a little stiff, which made Xue Junliang laugh for a while.

After putting Teng Yun's clothes on, Xue Junliang finally knew why Ruixue smiled so happily when she went out. It turned out that this wedding dress had no belts or buttons, and couldn't be fastened, so it could only be left open vaguely.

Teng Yun suddenly felt that it would be better not to change, a little tea is nothing, but now that he is dressed like this, it is not easy to change back.

When Xue Junliang was arranging his clothes for him, he deliberately lingered on his waist for a while. Teng Yun didn't dare to move, but he felt his waist trembling. , but not too much.

Although it has been a long time since such ambiguous kneading, Teng Yun suddenly had an illusion, as if Xue Junliang already knew his identity, he already knew that he was Teng Yun, he already knew that he had been a fake queen, and he deliberately wanted to remind himself previous things.

Teng Yun still remembered that Teng Shang reminded himself that maybe Xue Junliang knew that he was Teng Yun, but he thought that Xue Junliang had no way of verifying that he was a queen.

Xue Junliang was very satisfied with Teng Yun's slight changes, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, after drinking the wine, how about Teng Qing accompany me to bed?"

Teng Yun pursed his lips and said nothing. Of course, Xue Junliang knew that Teng Yun was a man, so it was impossible to break his defense so easily. Xue Junliang didn't want to force him, and said with a smile: "Teng Qing's face is so red, what is she thinking of?" Is it gone?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Teng Yun's cheek and chin. The scars on his face had become much shallower, but because time had passed and they could not be eradicated, Xue Junliang was angry with the imperial doctor, but the scars on his face were also caused by his own name. People are beaten, thinking about it, I don't know what it feels like.

Teng Yun was tickled by him, don't try to avoid Xue Junliang's hand at first.

Only then did Xue Junliang let go of making trouble with him, and then said with a smile, "Do I seem to be so impatient? You must be tired from this day."

As he spoke, he went to get the cups on the table, and handed one to Teng Yun, and the two drank together. Xue Junliang lay on the bed with his clothes on, and patted the empty space beside him, and Teng Yun had to lie down with his clothes on too.

Xue Junliang pulled the quilt over the two of them, suddenly laughed, and took out a handful of longan and lotus seeds from under the mattress. Teng Yun saw the longan and lotus seeds, and the heat that had just subsided returned to his face.

On the wedding night, longan and lotus seeds will be placed on the wedding bed, implying consummation and early birth of a precious child.

The two of them didn't speak after that, and the candles in the room were still on. Xue Junliang closed his eyes, and his breathing soon became steady. Teng Yun didn't know if he was asleep or not, but he couldn't sleep. He closed his eyes He would think of the past, and the playback of scenes made Teng Yun very irritable.

Xue Junliang naturally didn't sleep. He closed his eyes because he was afraid of Teng Yun's embarrassment. After waiting for a long time, he could still hear Teng Yun sighing or turning over. Xue Junliang felt that if he didn't do something, maybe Teng Yun would always be back and forth in a dead end. Collide.

After a while, the candle became darker and darker, and finally went out after struggling. Xue Junliang opened his eyes and sat up.

Hearing the movement, Teng Yun quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Then he heard the person next to him sitting up, followed by the rustling of clothes, the heat around him became more and more obvious, and the person seemed to be leaning towards him.

Teng Yun was thinking whether to open his eyes or continue to pretend to be asleep, when suddenly a gust of hot air blew into his ears, Teng Yun almost moved in surprise.

Xue Junliang lowered his head to kiss his earlobe, and the hot air poured into his ear, Teng Yun thought in his heart that it was a good thing the candle was extinguished, otherwise he would be seen as pretending to be asleep.

Teng Yun's ears became feverish, thinking that he had not taken off his clothes and was covered with a brocade quilt, his whole body seemed to heat up, and a thin layer of sweat broke out.

The man's lips lingered from his ears to the corners of his mouth. Teng Yun's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he was almost unable to hold on anymore. He was thinking about when to pretend to wake up.

Xue Junliang had lowered his head and kissed his lips lightly. It was only a momentary kiss, but he immediately raised his head, which made Teng Yun heave a sigh of relief.

Teng Yun didn't dare to open his eyes even more, Xue Junliang seemed to sigh, his voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself, and said, "Teng Yun, do you really understand..."

Listening to him, Teng Yun didn't even dare to vent his anger. As expected, he already knew that he was Teng Yun. The hand hidden in the quilt was pulling at the corner of his clothes, and Xue Junliang's hand was gently stroking his cheek and neck. Said: "You don't understand, maybe this is retribution. I wanted to kill you back then, but the only person I cared about... turned out to be you. Everything in Yunfeng Palace was rebuilt as it was, even the books in the study It's all the same, it's because I have a heart for you, even Jiang Yu can see it, but you, a wise and decisive general, can't see it, what a retribution..."

Teng Yun was even more shocked. Hearing him mention all kinds of things in Yunfeng Palace, his heart beat like a drum. I'm afraid even Xue Junliang could hear it. Although the other party didn't say it clearly, it was too clear to a smart person like Teng Yun. However, Xue Junliang knew everything, and he also knew who the ugly queen who used to live in Yunfeng Palace was.

Xue Junliang said that's all, sighed for a long time, then lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and then lay down.

Hearing Xue Junliang's steady breathing, Teng Yun finally heaved a sigh of relief. His whole body seemed to be exhausted, and he slumped on the bed, his back was already wet with sweat. He no longer knew what to think or what to do.

It turned out that Xue Junliang knew all about it long ago, and what he said just now, saying that he cared about him, Teng Yun suddenly thought, could it be that King Xue insisted on admitting him into the palace, in fact, it was not to ridicule him, but...

Teng Yun turned his back to Xue Junliang, stretched out his hand to cover his lips, the scorching temperature would burn his hand, and Teng Yun felt that his breath was also hot.

He didn't sleep all night, and the next day Xue Junliang woke up when he woke up in the morning, Xue Junliang seemed to be okay, scratched the bridge of his nose with a smile, and said: "Don't be lazy on the bed, get up quickly, we still have to go to the morning, If it's too late, the ministers will beat the drums and abolish the emperor."

Teng Yun didn't sleep all night, and he didn't sleep well the day before, his head was a little dizzy, and he murmured: "I'm going to court?"

"Naturally, does Marquis Teng Nan want to be lazy?"

As Xue Junliang said, seeing Teng Yun's disheveled clothes and disheveled hair, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and quickly kissed him on the lips, saying: "Get up, and take a nap after morning."

Teng Yun opened his eyes wide, woke up from the dream, hurriedly got up, and said: "I... I just didn't expect to go to court, didn't I already..."

Xue Junliang naturally knew what he was going to say, and said with a smile: "I want you to be by my side, not only to imprison you, but also to see you show off your ambition. This is the real Teng Qing, isn't it?"
