$200, The Queen's Favored Husband

When it comes to scheming the city, Feng Zhao should be regarded as one of the most powerful people Yan Chu has ever encountered. She has received the most stringent imperial education since she was a child, and is a little less tender than Zhong Li. I think To make such a woman fall in love with him, it is not enough to have a beautiful skin or an excellent family background.

For example, now, just because of a change of title, the other party became suspicious. She vividly highlighted the sensitivity and suspicion of the emperor. If she made a big change rashly, it might be counterproductive.

There was no change on Yan Chu's face, but he took back Feng Zhao's hand rather coldly, and then avoided looking at her.

"I wonder where you plan to stay when His Majesty's coming-of-age ceremony is over in forty-three days?"

He kept silent about why he didn't call her Zhao Niang, but asked about Feng Zhao's coming-of-age ceremony more than a month later.

"Is A Chu suspicious because of this?"

Feng Zhao smiled slightly. It turned out that the other party suddenly changed his name to her because of this incident.

She had heard before that her husband was made angry by other concubines, and the reason seemed to be related to her coming-of-age ceremony. It seemed that he was still angry in his heart, and he got angry with her.

Feng Zhao didn't mind the other person's occasional sour and jealous behavior, as long as it was within the range that she could tolerate.

As for the palace affairs of the harem, who took care of it before when there was no royal husband? It is still like this now. There is no need to worry about the trouble of marrying a husband who does not do his job properly.

"Everyone says that, does your Majesty also think I'm ugly?"

Yan Chu doesn't think he is ugly, he is very handsome. People here don't know how to appreciate masculine handsomeness.

"appearance......"

Feng Zhao was about to comfort Yan Chu with a few words. After all, appearance is something you are born with, and she was not the kind of superficial girl who only looked at appearance. But when she was about to speak, she suddenly felt that Yan Chu was dressed so refreshingly today. , doesn’t seem as funny as before.

Yan Chu's appearance has the heroic spirit of a woman, even more heroic than those burly girls.

It's just that, at most, it is "ugly" that does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics. If it can highlight his own characteristics, he may not be unpopular with girls who like this style.

For example, in the border area where he grew up, tall and strong men and women are regarded as beautiful. In the capital of the country, such a delicate and timid boy is synonymous with trouble in the border area.

There will be wars all year round there, and the people at the border will take up arms to fight the enemy anytime and anywhere, men and women alike. When life can't be saved, who cares about beauty and ugliness.

Due to the influence of such folk customs, the people in several cities at the border have become accustomed to men who are as strong as girls. If I could think more clearly and stay at the border, I might be able to get a happy marriage.

You know, before coming to the capital, I had a good reputation in the ten border cities because he could break large rocks with his bare hands, draw a bow and shoot through a target a hundred meters away, and his bow and arrow could also penetrate the target. It was simply The tiger man of Jiangmen is the idol of many local brothers.

The original person has also stayed at the border for a long time, so he never feels that he is inferior to anyone else. Naturally, he is worthy of Her Majesty the Queen.

It was only after he came to the capital that he discovered that the world's aesthetics was so different from his own. It was as if the gods and Buddhas had isolated their aesthetics from the public when they pinched people.

The people here have such thin waists, fair skin, and delicate guys who take three breaths every time they take a step, but it’s just not good for him.

After suffering a huge blow, in order to please the queen, the original person began to imitate the popular dress in the capital.

He obviously has healthy wheat-colored skin, but he has to scrape thick white fat on his face. And because the servant is not happy, he doesn't teach him not to forget to apply powder on his neck as well. Such a color difference is obvious. In the eyes of others, it is just ridiculous.

He also had heroic facial features, but he imitated his handsome brother's eyebrows and shaved off all his sword eyebrows.

The angular face coupled with the thin and long willow eyebrows is ridiculous.

In addition, there was rouge, lipstick, and robes of a color that did not suit his skin tone and temperament. It was strange that such a nondescript outfit looked good.

Today is different. The original person who is seriously ill will definitely not know how to dress up. After Yan Chu comes, he will not go out of bed to dress up and make an outfit that does not suit him just because the Queen is coming. What he saw in his eyes was the clean and fresh look he had when he first arrived in the capital.

Don't tell me, it's not annoying to look at him like this. At least in Feng Zhao's eyes, he won't be associated with Chou.

"Actually, the way Ah Chu dresses today is quite refreshing."

Feng Zhao recalled whether she had ever said something similar to this before. It seemed that it was when Yan Chu married her and just started to learn the popular makeup in the capital, but the other party didn't listen and still went his own way.

"Your Majesty is coaxing me again. I know that no one except Beidi thinks I am good-looking like this. His Majesty is willing to let me be a real husband, but it is also wronged by Your Majesty. If you don't pay attention to dressing up, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not like me even more."

Yan Chu said this resentful little love story without changing his face or heartbeat, and he was extremely adaptable.

"Nonsense."

Feng Zhao thought that if Yan Chu went back to dressing like he did some time ago, and then called her Zhao Niang in a twist of tone, she would prefer Yan Chu to be like this, at least it would look pleasing to the eye.

"You are my husband. Anyone who dares to disrespect you in the harem will be punished."

Feng Zhao frowned as she spoke. She thought that the Yan family was stationed in the north. Now Yan Chu married in. There was no one to talk to. There was also a group of palace servants around. No wonder her temper became more and more strange. It seems that Jiang Liu will have to choose the palace servants sent to Fengyi Palace this time.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Yan Chu's eyes lit up and asked in disbelief.

"Of course I am serious. When have you ever seen me break my promise?"

Feng Zhao's pupils shrank. The other party's expression just now was a bit like a wolfhound she had raised before. Every time she fed it a big bone, it also had such a bright expression.

After thinking about it, the other party was only sixteen years old, two years younger than her. He was a little naive, but there was also room for change.

Most importantly, it is reassuring to keep such a simple character around. Feng Zhao does not want to be involved in intrigues in the court, and to accompany these concubines in the harem.

In this way, Yan Chu, the emperor's husband, seems to be a good one, as long as he can keep it up.

"Since your majesty said so, I would like to ask your majesty to give me one more thing."

Feng Zhao's smile remained unchanged, his eyes slightly condensed, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is it."

"Please give me another martial arts arena. Before, I thought that your majesty might not like the appearance of a northern man like me. Now it seems that I may have thought too much. For so many days, I have been learning the behavior of Liu Huiqing and Zhang Deqing, which has made me feel suffocated. I don't know how much my martial arts have become rusty."

Huiqing, Deqing, Xianqing, Liangqing are from the second-rank concubines. Above them, except for the emperor's husband, they are from the first-rank noble monarch and the first-rank imperial noble monarch. There are no concubines with these two titles in the harem for the time being. Even the former, there are only Liu Huiqing and Zhang Deqing.

After all, Feng Zhao had not yet passed the coming-of-age ceremony, so the harem was empty. From the lowest-ranking maid to Yan Chu, the emperor's official husband, there were only thirteen people at most, and only five of them were above the fourth-rank good husband.

Only when you reach this rank can you be qualified to live in the main hall of the palace, and you can be considered to have entered the core of the palace fight.

There are few concubines in the palace now, and the empress is not yet an adult and has not started to visit the harem, so even if there is a fight, it has not reached the level of life and death.

However, as the emperor's official husband, Yan Chu is also an "ugly" official husband, and he must be despised and targeted by other concubines. Although he occupies a position that others envy, in the eyes of others, he is not qualified to sit in this position.

"The Morning Sky Palace seems to be vacant. I will order it to be transformed into a martial arts arena. If you want to brush up on your martial arts in the future, go there."

The Yan family's spearmanship is well-known in Tianhuang Country. I wonder if Yan Chu, as a brother of the Yan family, has learned some of the essence. Feng Zhao herself is both literary and martial. After hearing Yan Chu's words, she was a little moved and even had the idea that she could occasionally practice martial arts with her husband.

This idea only flashed in Feng Zhao's mind for a short moment. In her opinion, even if a man practices martial arts, he can get some of the essence.

Moreover, she is a girl fighting with Yan Chu, a brother. Even if she wins, it is not fair.

Feng Zhao has not thought that the slap in the face will come so quickly.

*****

"Young Master, I heard that His Majesty sent a group of servants to prison after he went to Fengyi Palace. I'm afraid that Fengyi Palace is almost empty now. I don't know how that ugly man offended His Majesty."

In Lingju Palace, Liu Huiqing's palace servant hurried in and whispered in his ear.

The palace servants who served Liu Huiqing in the palace knew that he didn't like people calling him Huiqing in private. In Liu Lin's opinion, his talent and appearance were enough to qualify for the position of the legal husband. Why could that ugly man climb over his head?

Looking at that idiot being played around by them, dressed up in such a ridiculous appearance and still complacent, thinking that he could please the Queen, Liu Lin felt even more sorry for himself.

So privately, he didn't like to hear the two words Huiqing, and would rather let those people call him Young Master, the name he still used in the boudoir.

"You mean His Majesty is angry with that ugly man?"

Liu Lin was admiring the jewelry that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sent him. When he heard the words of the palace servant, he was too lazy to even look at the jewelry and immediately became excited.

He hoped that the empress would abolish that ugly man in a fit of anger, although he knew in his heart that the empress was so wise and powerful that even if she was angry with that ugly man, as long as the Yan family was loyal to the empress for one day, he would be fine.

Thinking of this, Liu Lin's face was dull again, and he was not motivated at all.

"It is not known whether that ugly man angered His Majesty, but after dealing with such a group of servants, or letting Jiang Zongguan send them to the palace, it is impossible that those servants were so bold that they all offended His Majesty."

The palace servant who spoke did not expect that it was really what he guessed.

"Fortunately, the people we have stationed in Fengyi Palace are safe, so we will not be without anyone to pass on messages in the future."

The palace attendant's words made Liu Lin think for a while: "This matter is beneficial to us anyway. You can have someone keep an eye on Fengyi Palace and report any movement in time."

In more than a month, it will be His Majesty's coming-of-age ceremony. At this juncture, if Yan Chu does something stupid to annoy His Majesty, I'm afraid that the coming-of-age ceremony in more than a month will be a bargain for him.

Liu Lin was delighted and could not help looking forward to it. His father said that for a girl, the first favored boy is always special. If he can make the emperor remember him before Yan Chu, the legal husband, it will be of great benefit to his future.

If he is lucky, the emperor will be pregnant with a dragon seed after that night, and he will be the father of the eldest daughter or son of the emperor.

Liu Lin's heart was burning. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it should be like this. How could a man like Yan Chu be worthy of possessing the empress's first time.

His fingertips tapped the table rhythmically. The people around him knew that this was his usual action when he wanted to think quietly, and they quietly retreated one by one, and no one dared to disturb him.

Such a scene also appeared in Zhang Deqing's palace.

As for other low-level concubines, they didn't dare to dream of such a good thing. Even if there was no Yan Chu, there were Liu Huiqing and Zhang Deqing blocking them in front, so it would never be their turn.

*****

“Bang——”

With a loud noise, Ruxiao, Ruqin, Ruhua, and Rushu, the four first-class maids around Yan Chu, who were now second-class maids, were startled. Looking at the man who used a whip to smash a stone into pieces not far away, their legs trembled, fearing that the whip would hit them in the next second.

Ever since the emperor’s husband recovered from his illness, their good days have come to an end.

I don’t know what the empress said to the emperor’s husband after she got angry that day. He changed his previous attitude and returned to the way he looked when he first came to the capital. He didn’t learn to dress up, and he also promoted the palace servants he brought from the north.

Ruxiao and the others who were once favored can’t get close to Yan Chu at all now, even if they want to explain to Yan Chu what happened that day, they can’t do it.

Just like now, the four of them stood by the martial arts field holding tea, towels, and fresh fruits, waiting for Yan Shiyi and Yan Shier, the two servants who served Yan Chu before he got married, to take these things away for Yan Chu to enjoy during his rest.

The sun was not too strong now, but it was enough to kill a palace servant like Xiao who was used to being pampered and cared about her fair skin because she wanted to win favor.

In addition, the crackling sound of Yan Chu's whip, the sound of breaking the air, and the force of breaking through the stone bricks, such a violent husband was enough to scare them out of their minds. They were almost kneeling down to Yan Chu like a sieve.

Yan Shiyi and Yan Shier were not actually the servants who served Yan Chu before he got married, but when he was clamoring to marry into the palace, the Yan family took the trouble to select them from the female guards at home. In addition to their high martial arts, they were also very intelligent.

The most important thing is that these female guards were trained by the Yan family since childhood and were given the surname Yan. Their loyalty is much higher than that of ordinary servants.

The original body was not close to the servants given by the family. Compared with these servants who came from the north like him and were not familiar with the customs of the capital, he preferred people like Xiao who could give him guidance and teach him how to get the palace servants that the empress liked. Therefore, these two people have been excluded in the corner of Fengyi Palace since they entered the palace, and they have not been taken seriously until now.

Yan Shiyi and Yan Twelve were not dissatisfied with Yan Chu's previous neglect. Guards like them, even their lives belonged to the Yan family. Yan Chu was their master now, so he could do whatever he wanted to them.

Now watching Yan Chu dancing with a whip, in the eyes of the two servants, it was simply handsome to a certain level.

In the past, they knew that the young master of the family had excellent martial arts and was born with supernatural powers. Now it seems that those people were bragging too much. With the martial arts of the young master, if she were a girl, she would be a fierce general, not much less than General Yan.

As mentioned before, the aesthetics of the North are different from other places. The two attendants' eyes are shining, and the more they look at him, the more they admire him. If the queen doesn't like such an excellent young man, she would be really blind.

Yan Chu, who was practicing martial arts on the other side, was not bothered by such sight. He concentrated on familiarizing himself with the body of his original body and integrating the martial arts he learned in the previous world.

As the queen, Feng Zhao is destined to have many talented people in her harem. According to the memory of the original body, after a few more elections, the harem will be able to collect all the types of boys that are now sought after.

Delicate, delicate, pure, cute, smart... without exception, they must have beauty praised by the world, and according to the public's aesthetics, Yan Chu has such a physique. Even if he goes back to the 21st century and finds the most powerful plastic surgeon, he can't shrink his 10-meter-tall frame to a petite 1.7-meter-tall body. Naturally, he will never become a beautiful man.

What's more, he has no pressure to let Yan Chu play the role of a little wolf and a little milk dog, but he is really unable to accept the challenge of putting on makeup and forcing himself to play the role of a "man" in a country dominated by women.

In this case, he simply finds another way.

A woman like Feng Zhao is used to everything being under her control. What Yan Chu has to do is to become the different existence in her heart.

He can warm the bed and fight the war. Yan Chu feels that such a royal husband seems to be quite challenging.

Of course, you must grasp the measure to do all this. You must know that Feng Zhao is a decisive emperor.

"Royal husband, someone came from Huiqing and said that he wanted to discuss with you about the Queen's coming-of-age ceremony."

A palace servant came in with his head down to report. He was one of the palace servants re-selected by Feng Zhao, and he was much more disciplined than the previous servants.

"Huang Zhengfu is practicing martial arts. Besides, since Huiqing wants to consult Zhengfu, why don't you come here yourself?"

Yan Shiyi saw that his son was concentrating on whipping and ignored the palace servant's words, so he knew what he meant and stepped forward to say to the visitor.

"This... I will tell Zhengfu's instructions now."

The palace servant saw that Yan Chu did not say anything to refute, and also understood that he agreed with Yan Shiyi's words.

Thinking about it, it is true that Huang Zhengfu did not condescend to go to Huiqing. There is no such rule.

The palace servant hurriedly left after paying his respects. It happened that Yan Chu's martial arts practice time was almost up today. He put away the whip and took the towel handed over by Yan Twelve.

Just like in the previous life, those people's tricks should be used.

Yan Chu wiped his sweat and sighed.

I didn't expect that one day he would have to compete for favor with other men. Such an experience is really amazing.
