"Brother Huiqing, what the hell is going on with that guy over there? He actually asked you to meet him in person."
In the Lingju Palace, Liu Lin sat at the head, and several concubines who were lower than him sat on both sides of his left and right hands. Lin, a man with a high heart and an arrogance, was fighting fiercely with that ugly husband who was occupying the position of husband.
"Okay, he is the real husband."
Liu Lin couldn't hide his ugly face, but at least he still remembered that Yan Chu was the wife of the Empress Mingmei, and if he said in front of so many low-ranking concubines that he was dissatisfied with the other party and asked him to go to Fengyi Palace to discuss things, I'm afraid it would change. It became a story, and the queen would be displeased when she heard it.
He wasn't that stupid yet, he didn't even know he was being used as a gun.
Liu Lin glared at the fifth-rank escort who had just provoked him. The other party was just the son of a small county magistrate, but he was lucky enough to win the favor of the concubine who was in charge of the draft, so he really regarded himself as someone special.
Who doesn't know that the current empress only respects those concubines superficially, not to mention that all the concubines have gone out of the palace to recuperate in Huangzhuang, so he, a little attendant, may have been forgotten by the concubines long ago.
Liu Lin thinks more, now no one in the harem is optimistic about that stupid emperor's husband. Basically, the low-ranking concubines choose to cling to him or Zhang Deqing. It's not Zhang Deqing's hidden stake buried here, but he just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
The attendant met Liu Lin's gaze, lowered his head in a little panic, and took a sip of tea. It was obvious that Gong Dou's skills were not up to the standard, so he showed timidity so easily.
"Being a concubine is just complaining for brother Huiqing."
The attendant murmured, his voice getting softer and weaker, and he lacked confidence.
"Brother Huiqing, is it true that you went to see him in person as said over there?"
A good gentleman who was still on good terms with the attendant asked Liu Lin what everyone was eager to know after he finished speaking, and helped him divert the fire.
"That's natural. Since Huangzhengfu's body is safe, it's time for us to pay his respects."
Since the original body entered the palace, the people in the harem had completely stopped paying attention to him after the initial period of temptation.
If he was simply ugly and occupied the position of husband, these concubines might not be so bold to show his face, but who made him ugly and stupid, there is no threat at all, these concubines are naturally less and less Put him in the eyes, please be safe and save money on weekdays, don't even bother to think of excuses, the so-called emperor's husband, in the eyes of these princes and concubines, is just a decoration, a joke.
If it weren't for the empress who seemed to have some respect for that husband, they might not even keep this bit of face for him.
"Brother Huiqing's words are very true. Speaking of which, we haven't visited Huang Zhengfu for a while, and it just so happens that we have something important to do this time."
Jiang Liangjun covered his smiling lips with a silk handkerchief. Many concubines in Lingju Palace were smiling like him.
Those who can enter the palace are generally remarkable in appearance. Even if some of them enter the palace because of their family background, those who can grow into their original bodies and do not meet the mainstream aesthetics are still a minority.
Therefore, they were particularly happy to find a sense of accomplishment from Yuanshen, especially when Huang Zhengfu secretly looked at them with envious eyes, not to mention the feeling of pride.
No one took Yan Chu's tough reply to heart this time. From their point of view, even if Huang Zhengfu went crazy again, it would have no effect on them at all.
What's more, the other party has such a face, I am afraid that in the future, except for the first and fifteenth day of the new year, His Majesty may not be willing to stay with him, and even the first and fifteenth day of the new year, he may not be that interested.
When the time comes when they have an imperial daughter and a prince, they don't need to pay attention to the emperor's husband.
"Okay, let's go."
Liu Lin took a silk handkerchief and wiped away the tea stains that were not present at the corners of his mouth. He moved gracefully and calmly. With the support of the palace attendant, he got up and walked out of the palace.
He raised his head, and the other concubines followed him according to their ranks, thinking that there might be another good show today.
Coincidentally, just as Liu Lin and his party arrived outside Fengyi Palace, Zhang Deqing also came in a chariot, followed by a group of low-ranking concubines who came on foot. The two pedestrians ran into each other outside Fengyi Palace. .
"Yo, what a coincidence."
Zhang Ruyi got off the sedan chair and looked at Liu Lin, who was also very graceful and coquettishly coming out of the sedan chair with the help of the palace attendant, said that the meeting of eyes between the two was like lightning and sparks.
They all entered the palace during the general election last year. The general election of the Heavenly Phoenix Nation is held every three years. Occasionally, if some natural or man-made disaster occurs, it may be postponed to once every five years. Years later.
In other words, these people in the palace now will not have new opponents in the next two years.
And who can let the queen conceive her own child in the past two years, and get the queen's favor, this is the most important thing.
Zhang Ruyi and Liu Lin, as the highest-ranking concubines in the harem apart from the emperor's husband, have long regarded each other as their own rivals, and their fear of each other is much deeper than that of the original body.
"Brother Deqing also came to visit Lord Feng?"
Dehui is virtuous and virtuous, although they are of the same rank, Deqing is still ranked ahead of Huiqing, not to mention that the two were conferred at the same time. According to the established rules, Liu Lin should call Zhang Ruyi "brother".
"I was negligent before, and I actually forgot to come to pay respects to Feng Jun. Brother Huiqing only remembered it today?" Zhang Deqing looked puzzled, "At first, I thought that Brother Huiqing was a little older than me, so he should understand these things better than me. That's the rule."
Zhang Ruyi raised his eyebrows and said not to be outdone.
Don't you just want to be an older brother, old man, I'll make it a pleasure for you to be an older brother.
Yan Chu took a bath in Chenxiao Palace, changed into a set of clean clothes by the way, and then walked to Fengyi Palace with a group of palace attendants.
He heard the plot of the two clearly, and couldn't help being a little surprised in his heart, why men are no different from women when they engage in palace fights.
"Feng Jun Jin'an."
A few sharp-eyed people saw Yan Chu's figure, and saluted him hastily. Zhang Ruyi and Liu Lin, who were still confronting each other, also put aside their prejudices and saluted Yan Chu.
It's just that the gesture of saluting was a little weak, almost perfunctory.
"Get up."
Yan Chu had a headache, what should he say at this time, according to the specific performance in the Gongdou drama, shouldn't he let them keep saluting, and then leave them alone
But usually at such times, according to some unspeakable theorem, the empress should appear at the right time, and then scold him for being unkind and not generous.
Or ask if the palace didn't give them enough to eat, they are too weak to even salute, please ask a few old ladies to teach them the rules of the palace again.
The latter looked quite normal, but Yan Chu felt awkward no matter what he thought.
Sure enough, he is still not suitable for fighting for favor with a group of men, as long as he is responsible for attacking the empress.
These brothers and sisters love to play so much, so let's play by ourselves.
Liu Huiqing and the others didn't know what Yan Chu was thinking now. Seeing that the other party was as usual, they took it as his occasional convulsions when he suddenly asked the palace servant to inform them that if they had something to do, they would come to Fengyi Palace to see them.
"Feng Jun's dress today is quite unique."
When they arrived at the main hall of Fengyi Palace, the palace servants served tea and snacks in an orderly manner. Yan Chu sat at the head, and the other concubines also took their seats in order of rank.
The little attendant who picked up trouble in Liu Lin Palace was the first to show up again, looking at Yan Chu's unpainted face, he covered his mouth and smiled with some meaning in it.
The big guy saw it as early as when he was just saluting. Huang Zhengfu, who used to dress up indecently, has actually learned to be smart this time. I don’t know if it’s because he just recovered from his illness and didn’t feel like dressing up, or he really wanted to understand. Dressing up like that is even more unbearable to look at.
"That's right, Feng Jun's white-faced peach blossom makeup was very good-looking before, and the concubines still want to learn from it." Zhang Deqing's escort Wang said.
The white-faced peach blossom makeup was learned by Yuanshen, and it was Zhang Deqing who first painted this makeup in the palace.
The other party's skin is better than snow, and he brushed slightly richer rouge on the corners of the eyes and cheeks, and put a flower tint on his forehead, which is very charming, but the original body is different. His looks that seem to be big and thick now, he also put flower tints on his forehead , that is, ugly people do more mischief.
These words are obviously out of good intentions. They just want to make Yan Chu mistakenly think that he dressed up like that in the past, so if he continues to keep it up, maybe he can still please the Queen. In fact, they know it well. .
"Ru Xiao, since Escort Wang likes your craftsmanship, you can follow Escort Wang in the future. As for the rouge and gouache that I don't need in the palace, I will also send it to Escort Wang. Since he likes white-faced peach blossom makeup, he must give it to him every day. Dressing up beautifully is also my Fengjun's wish."
Yan Chu ate a grape, and ancient fruits are relatively rare. For example, the few baskets of grapes that were tributed to the south this time were only available at the Fengyi Palace except for the Queen.
In fact, if you really think about it, the empress already respects the rightful husband of the original body, but the original body can't stand up on its own, and even the attendant from the fifth rank can climb on top of him. This rightful husband of the emperor is simply a failure s failure.
"Feng Jun."
Ru Xiao and Wang, who were waiting on the side, spoke at the same time, both of them were panicked and dissatisfied.
This white-faced peach blossom makeup is Zhang Deqing's most proud makeup, because when he first entered the palace, the empress once praised him that he is more beautiful than a flower, and this is also Zhang Deqing's most proud thing.
The original body imitated this makeup before, because he was ugly, and it highlighted Zhang Deqing's beauty. Of course, he didn't mind, but Wang's escort is different. He has a beautiful appearance, and his style is somewhat similar to Zhang Deqing. Zhang Deqing dressed up, but he has not been eaten alive by him.
Wang's companion was worried, secretly annoyed why Yan Chu didn't play cards according to common sense.
Ru Xiao is also unhappy. Serving by Huangzhengfu's side, even a second-class palace servant, is more noble than a small servant. By his side, when will I be able to get ahead
"It turns out that I, Feng Jun, can't count my words."
The expression on Yan Chu's face retracted, and he looked coldly at the two who refused.
With a shock, Wang's companion and Ru Xiao fell to their knees with a plop, and they didn't understand why they were so flustered.
"I don't dare to serve a concubine, but Ru Xiao is someone whom Lord Feng values highly, how dare a concubine take away what Lord Feng favors."
A cold sweat broke out from the back of Wang's escort, thinking in his heart, when did this mindless husband of the emperor have such a deterrent power, even if he is no worse than the queen.
Could it be that he was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to test them? And now that the trial is over, finally decided to settle with them
It's not just Wang's escort who thinks this way, most of the concubines present have the same idea.
"What's more, the posture of my concubine Puliu is not worthy of Fengjun's good things, so I ask Fengjun to take it back." Wang's escort did not dare to steal and play tricks this time. Xiao to him.
Liu Lin didn't speak at the side, but his expression was equally unsightly.
Before, the empress had disposed of a group of palace servants in Fengyi Palace. He had placed a lot of people in Fengyi Palace, but he only kept Ru Xiao. It is more useful to keep the other ten palace people.
But now that ugly man actually wants to send Ru Xiao to the king's escort, did he know about Ru Xiao's relationship with him? Or is it purely a whim
"It is precisely because of your willow appearance that you need to dress up well. Don't worry, I am not a narrow-minded person, so I won't hold grudges against you because of this."
After a while, the grape skins in front of Yan Chu had already piled up a hill, and the nervousness of the attendant Wang and Ru Xiao sweating profusely didn't seem to have any effect on him.
"Feng Jun."
Escort Wang is Zhang Deqing's man, and at this time, he will naturally stand up and speak for him, not to mention that he really doesn't want a third person in the palace to imitate his dress.
"Such as Xiao Zhuangfa's skillful craftsmanship, Mr. Feng should enjoy it for himself."
Zhang Deqing had a weird expression. Looking at Yan Chu's face, he wondered why he followed Wang's words seriously, saying that his appearance was just like that of a willow. If Wang's was like a willow, then what was he
"unnecessary."
Yan Chu replied without thinking, and took the handkerchief Yan Shixi handed over to wipe his fingers.
"Before Your Majesty praised me for being simple and natural, which made her feel refreshed. I thought about it too. Since Your Majesty likes me who is so fresh and generous, I will naturally keep it. Those rouge powders will be given to you who need them. People, anyway, we are all His Majesty's men, everything should be subject to His Majesty's preferences."
Fresh and generous? Refreshing? Rustic and natural
Can these adjectives be used on Yan Chu's face
Except for Yan Shiyi and Yan Twelve, the two brainless fans of Yan Chu in Fengyi Palace, everyone else couldn't help but twitch their mouths. They really wanted to grab Yan Chu's arms and ask him why he had the nerve to be so shameless. That's what he said.
"The queen's words... maybe Fengjun misunderstood..."
At this time Liu Lin couldn't help but speak, the empress hadn't even praised his looks, so why should she praise Yan Chu, an ugly man, he must be thinking too much.
"Why, Liu Huiqing's words mean that Ben Feng is ugly?"
Yan Chu opened his eyes, and slapped the table next to him. With a click, the table that was originally intact was torn apart. Fortunately, the fruit plate on the table was put away because the fruit was eaten, otherwise it would have been destroyed. Followed by crushing.
The concubine Jun and Concubine present turned pale, and covered their chests with their hands, looking at the wreckage on the table, as if Yan Chu's palm had hit them.
Thinking about it carefully, this slap can shatter a solid wooden table into pieces, and if it hit a person, at least it would break a bone.
They never thought that Feng Jun was such a Feng Jun.
It's okay for him to brag about his good looks shamelessly, he's still so violent.
What should I do in the future, can I still quarrel with Feng Jun? If he can't quarrel and become angry and fight with them, aren't they just little flowers swaying in the wind, and they can only endure his ravages.
For a moment, Liu Lin and the others felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and they wished they could just pass out.
"Forget it, you are just ordinary men in the harem after all, I cannot ask you to have the extraordinary aesthetic vision and taste ability like Her Majesty the Empress."
Yan Chu waved his hands to let people clean up the mess in this place, and then generously showed his tolerance and kindness as the emperor's husband.
Of course, everyone didn't feel this. They only felt that Feng Jun, who was suddenly abnormal, relied on his high force to intimidate him, and became extremely shameless.
But who dares to refute? Think about whether your body is harder than that table first.
"Wang attendant, you..."
Now there is no need for Yan Chu to say, the kneeling attendant Wang almost lay on the ground, and hurriedly said: "My concubine is ugly, my concubine is beautiful, my concubine is grateful for Fengjun's kindness, and I will definitely live up to it!" Feng Jun loves her, and tries her best to dress herself up, striving to have one ten-thousandth of Feng Jun's beauty."
Wang's attendant was about to cry, for the sake of his understanding, Feng Jun should be able to forgive him, and if he is not in the mood to take the lead, let him do the same.
He is already like this, let alone Ru Xiao.
Thinking of the fear of being controlled by Yan Chu's whip in the martial arts arena, he swallowed, unable to say anything.
*****
This time, Yan Chu's unilateral satisfaction ended with Yan Chu's unilateral satisfaction. Liu Lin and the others hurriedly found an excuse to come out of Fengyi Palace before they even had time to talk about their business.
After leaving the palace, Liu Lin and Zhang Ruyi glanced at each other, understood what the other meant, and rushed towards Minghuang Palace in a hurry.
It's ridiculous, they have to ask the queen to sue Yan Chu, this is absolutely intimidating, he will threaten them with force like this in the future, this palace is still fighting like this.
