Huo Feng, who was so angry with You Hong, went straight to the Palace of Concentration as soon as he left the imperial study.
You Hong talked about the identity of Yi Zhongren, and even more rudely said that the emperor should not hang out with a eunuch all day long, which would be detrimental to Longyan.
Huo Feng took off You Hong's black gauze hat on the spot, and even bluntly said that insulting Yi Zhongren was insulting the prince's adoptive father and the father of the two princes. Someone interceded for You Hong, but Huo Feng was also dismissed from his official position, and the atmosphere in the palace was tense for a while.
In this regard, none of the important ministers in the court came out to say a word, and all kept silent. Those ministers who still wanted to intercede for You Hong finally chose to shut up.
Huo Feng came to the Ningshen Palace in a rage, and as soon as he stepped into the bedroom, he immediately suppressed his anger. Walking to the bedside, he asked the person looking at him curiously: "What about Baozi and Douzi? Why didn't you see each other? You didn't let them rest in the afternoon?"
"They came to play chess with me in the afternoon, and Yun Kai came over and took them out to play. Are you going to spend the night here at night?"
Thinking of this, Huo Feng's anger rose again. He suppressed his temper and said, "I'll be here at night, and I'll be here in the future. I'll let Lu Tao pass the meal."
"Don't worry." Yi Zhongren grabbed Huo Feng's hand and asked him to sit beside him. He said lightly, "Wait until your anger subsides before eating."
Huo Feng was stunned.
Yi Zhongren said with a bit of laziness: "I know about You Hong. You don't need to get angry with him, leave it to me."
Huo Feng frowned: "This matter should have been handled by me. I'm also the emperor now, so I can't ask you to come forward for everything."
"What you have to deal with is the people's livelihood. Leave this kind of unreliable stuff to me. You also said that I'm not someone who hides behind you just for comfort."
Seeing the confidence on Yi Zhongren's face, Huo Feng's anger dissipated instantly. How could he forget that his heavy man is a powerful man! Even he himself is no match for this person, let alone a You Hong. As long as this person wants, the world will take it all in his hands.
Huo Feng smiled: "Then I'll leave it to you as my husband."
Yi Zhongren's heart thumped. for husband? !
"Chongren, I really want to make you the queen." With regret and guilt, Huo Feng kissed Yi Zhongren's still red and swollen lips.
Yi Zhongren was a little uneasy.
for husband…

After You Hong made such a fuss, Huo Feng, who had been pretending, moved to the Ningshen Palace without saying a word. For a few days, his face was gloomy and gloomy, and the atmosphere in the court hall was extremely depressing. Those ministers who had written to the emperor to ask the emperor to draft a girl were not careful, and they would be reprimanded in exchange. No matter how confused people were, they would understand what happened to the emperor.
You Hong, who was dismissed from his official position, vowed to die for the remonstrance. If Yi Zhongren hadn't said that it was handed over to him, Huo Feng would have chopped off You Hong's head.
On this day, Huo Feng discussed with the ministers about the new law and did not return to the Ningshen Palace until it was dark. He had already eaten in the imperial study. Regarding the promulgation of the new law, Huo Feng wanted to hear in private. Yi Zhongren's suggestion.
After Huo Feng moved to Ningshen Palace, Baozi and Douzi could no longer sleep with Daddy, so they moved to the room adjacent to Daddy. The candles in the two sons' houses were lit, and Huo Feng went directly back to his and Yi Zhongren's main house.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Huo Feng looked surprised: "Heavy?"
In front of the bright mirror stage, Yi Zhongren in a dark red official uniform is putting on makeup in front of the bronze mirror. He glanced at the person in the bronze mirror and continued to apply powder.
Huo Feng walked up behind Yi Zhong in a strange and puzzled manner and asked, "Okay, why did you put on makeup again? I thought you didn't like it."
"I don't like it." Yi Zhongren looked at the gradually whitening face in the mirror, and explained coldly, "I'm going to see someone in a while, and I need to use this face."
"Who?" Huo Feng had a guess.
"You Hong."
really!
Huo Feng pulled over the stool and sat down, glanced at the rouge gouache on the table, and asked, "Do you want me to help?"
"Can you draw?" Yi Zhongren looked sideways.
Huo Feng showed a smile of reminiscence: "No, but I want to try." After speaking, he picked up the brush for drawing eyebrows on the table, "Teach me how to draw."
Yi Zhongren looked at Huo Feng for a while, painted white powder in front of the mirror, then put several boxes of different colors in front of Huo Feng, and told him how to paint his eyebrows, eyeliner and lips.
Eyebrows and lips... Only husbands paint eyebrows and lips for their wives...
Huo Feng never regarded Yi Zhongren as a woman, even though Yi Zhongren had a beautiful face, he never had such thoughts. At this moment, Huo Feng felt that he was a man who painted his wife's eyebrows.
He wasn't doing well, his hands were shaking a little, but Yi Zhongren sat quietly in front of him, letting him paint on his face, Huo Feng couldn't help but want to kiss each other.
Finally finished, Huo Feng frowned in dissatisfaction: "It's not as good as yours."
Yi Zhongren turned to look at the bronze mirror and took the lip pencil in Huo Feng's hand: "Not fierce enough."
Yi Zhongren retouched his face, and a ghostly makeup that Lord Qianhu of Huanwei had gradually appeared.
Huo Feng said unhappily: "You still look good without makeup. Now that I want to kiss you, I don't know where to kiss you."
The corners of Yi Zhongren's mouth twitched slightly, and he got up and said, "This is not for you to see. I'm leaving."
"Are you going alone?" Huo Feng held Yi Zhongren's hand.
Yi Zhongren pulled it out and said, "Your martial arts are not good, I'll go alone." After that, he patted Huo Feng, not giving the opponent a chance to object, and once he fled, he was gone.
Huo Feng was angry, but he couldn't do anything.

You Hong is working hard in the study in the mansion. He wants to join some ministers of the previous dynasty to continue to write to the emperor and expel Yi Zhongren from the capital. Yi Zhongren seduces the emperor as an eunuch, so he should be punished!
You Hong has changed from simply asking for the emperor's draft to get rid of Yi Zhongren. He knew very well that if Yi Zhongren dies, the emperor will not return to the orthodox one day, that person is a scourge!
In the previous dynasty, he and Empress Dowager Ru were unclear, and now he came to seduce the emperor. In You Hong's view, Yi Zhongren's so-called good deeds are all for his own consideration and leave a way out, and have nothing to do with loyalty and righteousness.
A gust of wind blew in. You Hong raised his head and wondered how the window was opened. He hurriedly took a paperweight and pressed down the flying papers, and got up to close the window.
After closing the window, You Hong turned around. The next moment, he screamed "Ah" like a ghost, and fell to the ground. In a panic, he crawled to the door, opened it with force, and found that the door was locked from the outside!
You Hong was so scared that his face was pale, he slapped the door and shouted, "Someone! Come on! Help! Help!"
With a "whoosh" sound, something came out of the sky, and it flew past You Hong's face.
"Ding!" A dagger was inserted into the door.
All the cold hairs on You Hong's body stood up, and a stream of yellow water gushed out from his crotch. You Hong slowly lowered his head... He, he urinated.
"Master You is so devoted to the country that he forgets to eat and sleep, and he doesn't even bother to go to the latrine."
The ridicule behind him made You Hong want to dig a hole in the ground to bury himself, but he was so scared by Yi Zhongren that he wet his pants!
"Am I that scary again? Or is there some treasure on the door?"
With trembling calf, You Hong slowly turned around and looked at Yi Zhongren's ghostly face tremblingly.
Anyone who has come into contact with Hu Anwei is not afraid of this face. Where does You Hong still have the aura of admonishing death in the imperial study room
Yi Zhongren slowly removed the paperweight and picked up the proposal that You Hong had not yet finished. You Hong was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, and he knew that he would not be able to escape this time.
Yi Zhongren took a leisurely look and said lightly, "Lord You seem to be very dissatisfied with me. Hmm... Charming the Emperor... It should be punished... This crime is really not light."
You Hong's legs could no longer support him, and he knelt down. He was too frightened to say a word, let alone beg for mercy.
A sneer hung on the corner of Yi Zhongren's mouth, and in front of You Hong, he slowly tore the proposal into pieces and threw it on the ground.
You Hong felt that his life was like a piece of paper that would be torn to shreds by that terrifying person in an instant.
Yi Zhongren stood up, You Hong desperately retreated, but there was a door behind him, and there was no way to escape. Yi Zhongren walked towards You Hong slowly, You Hong shrank as much as possible into a ball with a bloodless face, when Yi Zhongren walked up to him, he was so frightened that he did not dare to come out.
"Lord You," Yi Zhong looked down at You Hong, looking down at You Hong, "You have been dismissed by the emperor and I should kneel when you see me. Seeing your loyalty to the emperor, I will not embarrass you. But... "Squatting down, You Hong's teeth were shaking.
"I, Yi Zhongren, have never been a generous person. If anyone can't live with me, I'll make it difficult for him for the rest of his life." "
Getting up, Yi Zhongren kicked open the locked door and strode away. The entire Youfu was silent, and the people in the residence seemed to have all disappeared at once, and the silence was terrifying.
Yi Zhongren, who left Youfu, stopped by to "visit" a few ministers who liked to worry about Huo Feng's "bed affairs". Although these ministers were not as frightened as You Hong to wet their pants, they were almost done.
When Yi Zhongren returned to the palace, Huo Feng hadn't rested yet, obviously waiting for him. Seeing Yi Zhongren's expression, Huo Feng knew that things were going well. When he knew that You Hong was so frightened that he urinated his pants, he immediately laughed out loud.
He quickly asked Yi Zhongren to wash off the makeup on his face. Huo Feng, who hadn't touched him for several days because Yi Zhongren was recovering from his injuries, hurriedly hugged Yi Zhongren to bed and made waves. Spring nights are worth thousands of dollars, and the night is deep.

You Hong left the capital in despair. He was seriously ill for more than half a month, and then left a "repentance letter" to the Prime Minister Xie Ming, asking him to help present it to the emperor.
Without telling anyone, You Hong left the capital with his family. It is said that he looked haggard and looked like a human being when he left.
In the book of repentance, You Hong is ashamed of being narrow-minded, has betrayed the trust of the emperor, and insisted on going his own way, obliterating Lord Yi's loyalty to the imperial court. After all, he realized his mistake and faced the emperor with no face, and returned to his hometown.
You Hong's departure did not arouse a reaction from his wife in the court. The prince made it clear that he did not like You Hong, and the emperor dismissed his official position, but he himself had never been able to see his own position. It is good to be able to leave alive.
No one spoke to the emperor about the draft anymore.
Huo Feng devoted all his energy to the political affairs, and the Yue Kingdom was thriving, and those ministers who had been scornful of the emperor's favor on Yi Zhongren also began to reflect.
Is it really wrong for the emperor not to register his concubine? Having gone through the stupidity and corruption of the previous dynasty, the people of today's country live and work in peace and contentment. What is more important than having a wise ruler
With the promulgation of a new decree, fewer and fewer ministers cared about the emperor's family affairs. The emperor already has a prince, and the country has an inheritance. If the emperor does not marry, he should not marry.

Firecrackers burst outside the palace, and in the blink of an eye, this year has passed.
On the evening of New Year's Eve, Huo Feng, Yi Zhongren and their three children had a lively New Year's Eve dinner at the Ningshen Palace. After the meal, he accompanies Douzi and Baozi for a cannonball battle. Huo Yunkai took the initiative to ask to go to the border after the Chinese New Year for training, and Huo Feng agreed. Huo Feng asked Yi Zhongren to accompany him in the palace.
The two were walking on the dimly lit rich road, snowflakes were falling from the sky, and the guards of the royal forest followed far behind, Huo Feng held Yi Zhongren's cold hand without hesitation.
"When it's cold, your hands are even colder."
"The emperor's hands are always so hot."
"Haha," Huo Feng clenched his hands, "just to keep you warm."
Yi Zhongren curled the corners of his lips.
After walking a few steps, Huo Feng said with emotion: "I never thought that one day I would be able to walk with you like this one day. Sometimes I think about it, that accident is not a bad thing for me. You hide it. It's too deep, if it weren't for those things, I would have missed you and I, so every time I want to come, I feel very fortunate."
Yi Zhongren said lightly: "If you miss it, you will miss it. You are determined to raise an army, and I have not calculated it in vain."
Huo Feng shook his head and said solemnly, "If I miss you, I will regret it for the rest of my life. You must have hated me at that time."
Yi Zhongren glanced at Huo Feng, which meant "you finally realized".
Huo Feng smiled and said, "I knew you were annoyed at me. With 700,000 soldiers in hand, you were so useless. At that time, even if you directly told my brother to kill me , I'm afraid I won't raise troops, I will only think that you are sowing discord."
"So I want to force you to recognize it." Yi Zhongren said with a bit of self-reproach: "It's a pity that I couldn't keep the two ladies."
"Don't mention it, you've done your best."
What Huo Feng didn't say was that if the two ladies were still alive, he and this person would not be so smooth. Everything had already been arranged by God.
"Chongren, why did you secretly cut the rope on me when you knew Xingtian would come to save me?"
The atmosphere was quiet and warm, and Huo Feng asked the doubts in his heart for many years.
Yi Zhongren took a few steps and replied, "I'm not sure if there will be another accident that cuts your rope before he arrives. Even if there is an accident, you can protect yourself. If something goes wrong on Ruan Xingtian's side, Huaiqiu and I will take you out. Of course, that's the worst step."
Huo Feng couldn't help clenching Yi Zhongren's hand and smiled bitterly: "I was a little cowardly at that time, but with a serious person, you were not merciful with those punches at that time."
Yi Zhongren said as a matter of course: "I am a person who holds grudges very much."
Huo Feng took the man into his arms and asked, "Would you like to give me a few more punches to relieve my anger? It was all my fault before."
Yi Zhongren pushed Huo Feng away, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "You are the emperor now. After all, no one joins me, I don't want to make trouble for myself."
"Haha," Huo Feng pulled the person back again, lowered his head and asked emotionally, "Chongren, do you have me in your heart?"
Yi Zhongren didn't answer, he opened his lips when Huo Feng kissed him.
My heart, pounding, jumped up quickly. So what? He will no longer be dormant under the second man.
The guards at the back all turned around, ignoring injustice.
In the snowflakes flying, two people stood on the official road and kissed deeply.
Once, they fought tit-for-tat and hurt each other on this wealthy road. No one thought that one day, they would embrace each other affectionately here.
After the almost suffocating kiss, Huo Feng took Yi Zhongren's hand again: "Go back to the house, it's too cold outside."
"it is good."
The two held hands and walked side by side to the Jingshen Palace. The snowflakes fell on Yi Zhongren's shoulders, and Huo Feng swept them away for him. Yi Zhongren looked down at the road under his feet, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
