Father and daughter, mother and son, brothers and sisters, this kind of fate is predetermined, while husband and wife, this is the acquired cause and effect.
Bearing karmic debts for others is not acceptable in any relationship. Apart from the fetters of blood, the marriage contract is also recognized by heaven and hell. Use this method.
In fact, he still took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the Dao of Heaven, because he knew that he was not reincarnated, and even if he failed to clear that evil debt in his entire life, he didn't have to worry about being implicated by this karmic debt.
As for the original body, his soul has long submerged into the space of the main god after he made a successful wish, or it has become the energy to maintain the operation of the system, or it has become something else, and it has long been free from the restrictions of reincarnation. hinder.
In this world, Yan Chu did not live very long, only forty-seven at the age of forty-seven. The old Taoist left many years earlier than him, and Taoists are like this. Long-lived people.
Except that Lin Yang and others could occasionally receive letters from Yan Chu, they had no other contact information. No one knew where Yan Chu had gone, and no one knew what he had done all these years.
When he was dying, Lin Yang came to the hospital where he died of illness, and according to his will, his remains and Lin Yuan's bones were buried together, completely eliminating the causal relationship.
No one knew whether he had paid off Lin Yuan's sinful debts and entered reincarnation smoothly, they could only pray in their hearts.
*****
"Put incense sticks to your aunts and uncles."
Every Qingming Festival, Lin Dang always brings his wife and children to pay respects to his sister. After Yan Chu's death, there was one more worshiper.
There are two tombstones. There is no photo on one tombstone, and a photo of a seven or eight-year-old girl is pasted on the other.
"Father, why has my uncle never come to worship my aunt in these years?"
Lin Yang is now working in Yu's real estate company. He has a smooth tongue and is the champion of real estate sales every year. After finding his sister's bones and burying them, his life gradually got on the right track. In the third year, he married a gentle and virtuous woman. His wife gave birth to twins.
Lin Yang's two children are called Nian Chu and Nian Yuan. Except for those who have experienced all that at the beginning, few people know the meaning of these two names.
The slim Lin Nianyuan who had come out at this moment asked her father curiously. She had never seen her aunt and uncle since she was born. It was because her aunt was dead and her uncle was still alive.
Before, Lin Nianyuan thought that her uncle remarried and had no contact with them. Now, looking at her father's complicated eyes, and the act of bringing her uncle's ashes all the way to be buried with her aunt, it was obviously not what she had guessed.
Most importantly, looking at the photo on my aunt's tombstone, how could she have a husband at such a young age
It's a pity that my father never told them the story of my aunt and uncle. Whenever my aunt's name was mentioned in the family, my father was always very sad. Gradually, no one dared to mention it.
"Your uncle, he is atoning for your aunt. He is really the best person I have ever met in my life. It is your aunt's luck to meet him."
Lin Yang didn't explain carefully, thinking about the man who didn't even leave a single photo, what they owed him, I'm afraid they will never be able to pay it back in this lifetime.
Lin Nianyuan and Lin Nianchu complied ignorantly, and the family of four left after the incense burnt out.
*****
"Huang Zhengfu is awake, Huang Zhengfu is awake."
Yan Chu absorbed the original body's memory, and at this time, a palace attendant also came over, saw Yan Chu opened his eyes, and ran outside in a panic.
"Young master."
Several handsome men trotted in and saw Yan Chu awake, half kneeling in front of the bed one by one, wiping tears with handkerchiefs, pear blossoms covered with rain.
I don't know if I have been trained in advance, put on makeup, but when I cry, I can keep the makeup on my face perfectly.
When Yan Chu absorbed the memory of the original body, he already knew that this was not any world he knew. This country respected women, which was similar to the descriptions in some novels about women.
Most of the women are burly and strong, while the men are more smeared, and their beauty is weak.
Yan Chu felt that he was also a man who had seen big storms, but looking at all these effeminate palace servants, he felt that the challenge of this world was too great for him.
He can't imagine that he is also like these palace servants in front of him, twisting his waist when walking, panting three times at a step, let alone doing it, just thinking about it can make people crazy, he would rather the system Directly destroy him humanely.
"You all go out, I want to take a good rest."
Yan Chu waved at the crying palace servants, and told them not to let anyone disturb him unless His Majesty came in person.
The few palace attendants seemed to have something to say, but Yan Chu gave him a cold look, feeling the coercion on him that was almost the same as that of His Majesty, they were frightened into quails immediately, and went out timidly.
Looking at the appearance of these palace servants, Yan Chu couldn't help but sighed in his heart, he just thought they were good, and put his former loyal servant aside.
Now he is still a wounded man, and he can't see any sadness in the eyes of these palace servants. On the contrary, each of them is leisurely and smeared, and he doesn't know who he is running for.
"Bah, ugly people do more tricks."
Several delicate and beautiful palace servants slowly exited the main hall of Fengyi Palace, and one of the most outstanding palace servants couldn't help but spit in the direction of the palace with a stern look.
As for his ugly appearance, the empress couldn't bear to take another look at him. She didn't want to rely on their fixed favors, so she knew that it was a waste to be jealous.
The palace attendant regretted that his beauty was wasted by this jealous ugly husband. If he could be more magnanimous and recommend himself to the empress, he would be favored in the future, and wouldn't he take care of his former master? Really do not know the so-called.
"Keep your voice down, after all, he is still the emperor's husband, and even though he looks ugly, mothers and sisters are very useful. The Yan family is a loyal family, and the queen has a lot of value for the girls of the Yan family, so she will definitely not treat him badly. If that After listening to the ugly and mischievous man, we are afraid that we will not be able to eat and walk around."
How majestic and graceful the empress is, how many brothers in the whole country hope that the empress can pay more attention to them. If they can be favored by the empress and fill the harem, it will be a blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes.
The few beautiful palace servants around Yan Chu also rushed to the position of the empress. At the beginning, everyone wanted to squeeze into the emperor's husband because he was ugly. If he wanted to keep the empress, he must be promoted. Those beautiful palace servants are always favored, but who knows that the emperor's husband is not only ugly, but also jealous, and he doesn't like oil and salt. Although he likes good-looking palace servants, as long as His Majesty appears, they are not allowed to appear in the palace. In front of His Majesty's eyes, the entire Fengyi Palace was full of complaints, wishing that Yan Chu, the emperor's husband, would die immediately.
Yan Chu couldn't hear what these palace servants were talking about, but he could roughly guess what they were talking about. He didn't take it too seriously. When he recovered, he would definitely drive these people out.
But before driving them away, they have to give their respective masters a warning.
Speaking of which, the original body can be regarded as a legend, aside from some of his subsequent actions, Yan Chu personally still admires him very much.
Originally born in a family of military generals, his physical appearance is not like the delicate young man who is now popular, but tall and tall, not weaker than a woman.
Everyone in the world likes to be beautiful, and they want men to be fair-skinned, thin-waisted, charming, and charming. These points are not relevant to the original body. On the contrary, because they grew up outside the customs, they are proficient in horseback riding and archery, and the world doesn't like skin. He is wheat-colored, with sharp-edged faces and handsome features.
It's the heroic spirit of a woman, without the squeamishness of a brother.
Such a man is ugly in the eyes of the women in the country, especially because he is taller than most women in the country. To a large extent, this is also a challenge to the authority of the wife-lord. Which woman would like it? What about men who are taller and burly than themselves
If Yuanshen thought clearly and found someone to marry outside the customs, he might also be able to find a girl who appreciates him outside the customs, and live a happy and smooth life, especially his family background, which is enough The wife-lord who shocked the future did not dare to bully him, but he fell in love with the most noble woman in the world. He just followed his mother back to Beijing to report on his duties, and saw the queen at the palace banquet. This heart was entrusted to her. .
He was crying and clamoring to enter the palace. Seeing the achievements of the Yan family in the past, the empress did not hesitate to give him the position of emperor's husband. There shouldn't be a third party, but in this harem, besides the emperor's husband, there must be many other men. In addition, the original body is ugly, so how could it be possible to monopolize the empress' favor.
Jealousy drives people crazy, and the original body unexpectedly thought of rebellion for the first time.
After many years outside the customs, he knows that men are not weaker than women, especially in some barren areas, men can also be commanded by women. He is obsessed with ghosts and wants to overthrow the rule of women and let the world replace men as emperors.
He thought that if he could become the emperor, the only woman in his harem would be the empress. At that time, the other party would truly belong to him alone.
The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. The original body has a good idea, but its intelligence cannot keep up. At the beginning, it did arouse a large number of men who were dissatisfied with the low status of men, but in the end, this great plan was still aborted. As soon as it sprouted, it was strangled to death by the queen in the cradle.
Fortunately, the empress is wise and did not anger the rest of the Yan family, but the head of the Yan family, the original mother, has no face to be her general anymore. Hundreds of members of the family returned to their ancestral home and never set foot in the imperial court again. Tang, it can be said that the achievements accumulated by the Yan family for generations have been ruined by this unfilial son.
Originally attempting to rebel was naturally a capital offense. Until his death, he was still obsessed with the Queen, thinking that if he was given a chance to do it all over again, he would definitely come up with other ways to monopolize the Queen's heart.
Then, Yan Chu came over.
This time his task is also very simple, the main task is to make the empress willing to dismiss the harem for him and pamper him alone.
The side mission is the coming-of-age ceremony for the queen at the age of eighteen, hoping that the queen can stay in her palace.
According to the rules of the royal family of the Heavenly Phoenix Kingdom, a girl can only release her original essence at the age of eighteen. Before the age of eighteen, she can marry her husband's concubine, but she cannot consummate the marriage. There is still more than a month left before the queen's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, that is to say , he had to make the empress think differently about him for more than a month.
Generally speaking, royal women will stay in their husband's room on the night of their coming-of-age ceremony, but there are always exceptions, especially the empress is the most noble woman in the world, her words and deeds are of course according to her own preferences.
Yan Chu was seriously ill when he came here now, and he was angered by those men in the harem. Everyone thought that the queen would not be so hard-pressed to hold such an important consummation ceremony with an ugly man like him. It will greatly reduce the Queen's happiness, thereby reducing the Queen's expectations for this matter.
The original body was so angry that he missed the queen's coming-of-age ceremony. In the previous life, it was naturally impossible for the queen to consummate the marriage with a patient. This was also the most angry part of the original body.
Yan Chu got out of bed and looked at himself in the full-length mirror in the bedroom.
Sword brows, bright eyes, tall stature, because he grew up in the border area, where the wind and sand are everywhere, his skin is much rougher than those of the noble men in the capital with fluffy, white skin like jade, and it is not fair enough, it is healthy wheat-colored.
This kind of appearance can still attract many girls in modern times, but in the country of women, there is only one word, ugly.
Considering the aesthetic preferences of Nu Zunguo and his own appearance in this life, he is embarrassed to say that he can play the little wolf dog in this way.
Or, to change the style, come a big wolfhound
Yan Chu touched his chin, a little hesitant.
*****
"How is Huang Zhengfu now?" In Minghuang Palace, Feng Zhao, Empress of Tianhuang Kingdom, asked the maid at the side.
All the maids serving in the palace are men, only the queen can have maids serving them, but these maids can only stay in the outer palace, in the harem, without the queen's permission, the maids are not allowed to take half a step .
Feng Zhao is tall and slender, with a gorgeous and heroic appearance. Although she doesn't use any makeup on her face, people can't move away from her face. In modern times, she is a character of Yujie, and she still maintains it all year round. Fitness habits, the kind with a healthy and beautiful body.
She has been in a high position all year round, and just the deterrence flashing between her eyebrows and eyes can make people's minds startled. "Just now, the servant of Fengyi Palace came to pass the word, saying that the emperor's husband is now awake." The maid bowed her body, her tone Said calmly.
"Will Your Majesty..."
Just halfway through the sentence, the waitress realized that she was being bold, and quickly stopped the unfinished words, bowed her head and remained silent.
"Order, Gu will go to visit Huang Zhengfu later."
Feng Zhao thought that she was her husband after all, so she still had to give her some face.
The maid also understood what the empress meant. I am afraid that today's dinner will be eaten in Fengyi Palace. The appearance of Huang Zhengfu may not be valued even in ordinary wealthy merchants, let alone a harem full of beauties. .
The queen didn't dislike this at all, she was willing to give the other party this face, and she didn't know where he got the blessing.
The maid bowed and stepped back, conveying the Queen's order to Fengyi Palace.
*****
"The queen is here."
With the sound of the chief servant beside the empress, Fengyi Palace suddenly became lively.
As a patient, Yan Chu has such a noble status as Huang Zhengfu, so of course there is no need to stand up and greet him at the palace gate. , the most high-end powder is used on the body, so that it is dazzling all at once, and the empress will remember it in her heart.
It's a pity that all these dressing ups were in vain. Feng Zhao walked through the palace gate without squinting, ignoring the palace servants who were saluting and finding a space to look at her. Even because of the strong fragrance of makeup, she couldn't help but frowned.
"Jiang Liu, can the servant in the palace still dress up like this?"
Just as she was about to step into the inner palace, Feng Zhao suddenly stopped in her tracks, which made the palace servants who were originally lost suddenly feel confident, thinking that she had left a deep impression on the empress, each of them straightened their backs and lowered their heads half down. With a shy head and a shy face, she shows her most beautiful appearance.
"Returning to the empress, according to the rules in the palace, servants who are not above the ninth rank are not allowed to wear jewelry that exceeds the regulations, and are not allowed to smear makeup. Those who violate the order will be punished with ten punishments, and the heavy responsibility will be charged to the treasurer."
The treasury is the place with the most work, the most tiring, and the dirtiest in the palace. If you enter the treasurer's palace servant, you will never want to come out in this life. Be prepared to be honest in it for the rest of your life. It is a place that everyone in the palace can't avoid.
The rules in the palace are strict, and ordinary palace servants are not allowed to wear other styles of clothes except for the clothes issued every season. Hurting the Queen's noble body is a disaster for the court.
However, there are exceptions. The first-class palace servants who serve the empresses of the fourth-rank good monarch and above are all of high-rank. Such a high-rank palace servant can dress up, but there is also a limit, and they cannot be used as a palace servant. Dressed up better than the princes.
And the palace servants in front of me saluting at Feng Zhao, although they are palace servants of Fengyi Palace, but wearing golden hairpins like this, the strong smell of makeup and powder on their bodies is almost breathless, obviously it is beyond the rules of.
After all, they are from Fengyi Palace, originally Feng Zhao didn't intend to interfere in the affairs of the husband's palace, but now these palace servants are using their methods on him, obviously Feng Zhao can't bear it.
Besides, don't talk about her righteous husband, the female generals of the Yan family are utterly loyal to the Tianhuang Kingdom, even if it is to reassure the hearts of those loyal ministers and good generals, Feng Zhao will not hope that the palace people of Fengyi Palace will make any jokes.
"His Majesty."
A palace attendant with a waist as thin as a willow and fair skin slowly bowed to her. His brows were affectionate, his eyes blinked, and his eyelashes as thick as a fan trembled slightly. He was such a shy and lovely young man.
"Ru Xiao is a first-class palace attendant who serves by the husband's side, and the red treasure jade hairpin worn on his head is a gift from the husband, so he dare not not wear it."
At this time, the other party raised his head, and people realized that his attire was different from that of the palace attendants beside him. For example, he also wore makeup, but he just put some rouge on the corners of his eyes and cheeks to make his complexion more beautiful. It's getting better.
Especially his skin is fair, the blush seems to seep out naturally from under the skin, three points delicate and three points attractive.
In addition, the clothes and hair accessories are all in accordance with the rules of the palace, and the red treasure jade hairpin on the hair is a taboo.
This kind of attire, placed in this group of wealthy and gorgeous court servants, is like a lotus flower, which is impressive.
The other palace servants saw it and were angry in their hearts. Seeing the Queen's eyes lingering on him for a moment, they secretly scolded the little bitch in their hearts.
"Except for the high-ranking servants, all others are dragged to Yeting for retraining. As for these people, let Huang Zhengfu deal with them himself."
The entire Tianhuang Kingdom belonged to the queen, and she wanted to dispose of several people, of course, without Yan Chu's consent.
It's just that a high-ranking servant is not an ordinary palace servant. If she disposes of it, others may think that it is because she, the queen, is dissatisfied with his royal husband.
Therefore, after thinking about it in Feng Zhao's mind, he said directly to Jiang Liu, the chief executive behind him, indifferently.
"Your Majesty, in this way, I'm afraid there will be a lot of shortages in Fengyi Palace."
Jiang Liu glanced at it. The densely packed group of people waiting at the gate of the palace, I am afraid that the entire Fengyi Palace is empty, and I don't know how the husband manages the palace servants to select the palace servants. They all don't seem to be fuel-efficient. lamp.
"Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs select a new batch, and select some who know the rules."
There was no emotion in Feng Zhao's voice, only someone like Jiang Liu who had served the queen since childhood could sense that the queen was dissatisfied.
I just don't know whether these dissatisfaction is directed at the emperor's husband who is unfavorable to his subordinates in Fengyi Palace, or at the dereliction of duty of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"
What kind of place is Ye Ting? He is better than the treasurer, and he has worked hard all his life, and anyone in the palace can step on it.
Those beautiful palace servants who had not suffered any grievances since they came to Fengyi Palace panicked and begged Feng Zhao for mercy one by one.
And those internal servants who temporarily escaped because of their ranks were not much better. Judging by the Queen's appearance, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied with them.
Especially Ru Xiao, who was full of confidence just now, his face turned green and pale at the moment. Fortunately, he thought that His Majesty had treated him with admiration just now. After a few months, His Majesty will complete the annual ceremony and start staying in the harem. Maybe I can also get a share, but now it seems that how to reverse the Queen's bad impression of them has become the most important thing.
No one cared about what the empress said just now about letting Huang Zhengfu deal with them. In the eyes of Ru Xiao and others, Yan Chu, the Huang Zhengfu, couldn't be softer.
The mourning servants were dragged down one by one, Feng Zhao didn't stay any longer, but walked straight to the inner hall.
Thanks to his sensitive five senses, Yan Chu could almost hear what happened in the outer hall before.
"Ah Chu is better."
Anyway, the one who was sick inside was her husband. Feng Zhao respected Yan Chu a little, and when she saw him, her complexion softened a little.
The former empress gave birth to two imperial daughters and three princes. Feng Zhao is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and according to the identification of the date and the blood phoenix flower, she was conceived by the empress when she was lucky to the empress's husband. Among all the empress's children, The one who was born the most noble was brought up by the current empress as the crown princess when she was almost very young.
The blood phoenix flower is a special product of Tianhuang country, it can be used to identify the biological father of a woman's flesh and blood.
For example, the month when the doctor diagnoses the fetus in the womb, within dozens of days before and after that time period, the woman may have had relationships with several husbands and servants. In this way, it is necessary to rely on the blood phoenix flower to identify the child after the child is born. Who is the biological father.
Feng Zhao has been endowed with great hope since she was a child. She also lives up to the hard work of the current empress. She is the most outstanding empress of all dynasties. The same is not only reflected in government affairs, but also in her respect for the emperors and concubines in the harem. attitude.
Regardless of beauty or ugliness, the emperor's husband must be the most important thing. In addition, other concubines are valued differently according to the power behind them. She almost treats the people in the harem with her own likes and dislikes.
From a certain point of view, such an empress doesn't have to worry about her being emotional, because a man does things that endanger the interests of the country, and as her concubine, as long as her natal family is strong enough and she doesn't do stupid things, she can live a lifetime They all stay in the palace safely and comfortably, but at the same time, you don't have to think about her having any true feelings for you for the rest of your life.
She is too sensible, so rational that she is a little cold.
Yan Chu looked at the person who came, she was dressed in a royal blue uniform, and a white jade belt was tied around her waist. She was tall and tall, her hair was tied up high, and she was wearing a jade crown. She didn't have any broken hair, and she was neat and handsome.
The genes of the royal family in the past are all optimized by beautiful men. Feng Zhao's appearance is naturally not bad. It's impossible, even if she has tried to make a gentle expression, it's the same.
"His Majesty."
Yan Chu lifted his upper body from the bed and saluted her.
Because of his illness, he didn't put on makeup like the original body used to, and his long hair was scattered behind his back, making him look fresher and cleaner.
Feng Zhao looked at him twice more. In the past, even if he was sick, he would dress up specially when he knew she was coming, and then he would call her Zhao Niang with a sweet voice like those palace servants in his palace.
This is a name that Huang Zhengfu can only call her, and the original body in the past was also very happy to call her that in private, highlighting that he is different from other men.
"Why don't you call me Zhao Niang today?"
Feng Zhao sat beside Yan Chu's bed, took his hand, and didn't mind that he was born into a family of generals, practiced martial arts all the year round, and had rough and callused palms.
In fact, she was not used to Yan Chu calling her that in such a sweet tone, but the other party was her husband, so there must be something special, he mentioned that on the wedding night, and Feng Zhao agreed.
In the past, thinking that he was still young and ignorant, he must have been afraid to come to the capital away from his relatives and sisters, and with his appearance, it was inevitable that he felt inferior, Feng Zhao didn't mind pampering him a bit.
Now he behaves like others, Feng Zhao is not used to it.
However, upon closer inspection, the emperor's husband, himself, was seriously ill, and he seemed to be a little different from before.
Feng Zhao paused for a moment to figure out the movement of Yan Chu's palm, and glanced over his earlobe inadvertently, saw a black mole the size of a small sesame seed there, and looked away.
She smiled and asked the question just now, her eyes were unfathomable.
