201, The Queen's Favorite Husband

"Brother Huiqing, what's wrong with that guy over there? He actually asked you to go see him in person."

In Lingju Palace, Liu Lin was sitting at the top. Several concubines with lower grades than him were sitting on his left and right sides, fanning the flames without leaving a trace. Even if they couldn't take advantage, they still wanted to watch Liu Lin. Lin, a proud and arrogant man, was in a fierce fight with the ugly husband who occupied the position of the main husband. It would be best if both sides suffered losses and there would be two less eyesores.

"Okay, he is the real husband."

Liu Lin's face couldn't hide his ugly face, but he still remembered that Yan Chu was the official husband of the Queen Ming Media after all. If he said in front of so many low-level concubines that he was dissatisfied with the other party asking him to go to Fengyi Palace to discuss things, he might change his mind. If the Queen heard it, she would be unhappy.

He's not so stupid that he doesn't even know he's being used as a gun.

Liu Lin glared at the fifth-grade escort he had just provoked. He was just the son of a small county magistrate. He was just lucky enough to win the favor of the concubine who was in charge of the draft, and he really thought he was a person.

Who doesn't know that the current empress only has superficial respect for those concubines, not to mention that now that the concubines have left the palace and gone to the palace to recuperate, he, a little attendant, may have long been forgotten by the concubines.

Liu Lin was thinking more. Now no one in the harem thinks highly of the stupid emperor's husband. Basically, the lower-ranking concubines choose to cling to him or Zhang Deqing. The man in front of him is openly facing him, but he doesn't know if he is. It's not Zhang Deqing's hidden stake buried here, just wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

The escort met Liu Lin's gaze, lowered his head in a slight panic, and took a sip of tea. It was obvious that Gong Dou's skills were not up to par, and he showed his timidity so easily.

"Being a concubine is just a matter of grieving for brother Huiqing."

The escort murmured, his voice getting softer and softer, and he felt a little lack of confidence.

"Brother Huiqing, is it really like what was said over there that you went to see him in person?"

A good gentleman who was relatively close to the escort asked Liu Lin something that everyone was eager to know after he finished speaking, and before Liu Lin could get angry, he helped him divert the fire.

"That's natural. Since the emperor's husband is in good health and is in good health, it's time for us to go and pay him a visit."

Since the original person entered the palace, after the initial period of testing, the people in the harem no longer took him to heart.

If he was just ugly and occupying the position of the official husband, these concubines may not be so bold to show his face. But who makes him ugly and stupid? He is not threatening at all. Naturally, these concubines will become less and less They took him seriously, and they spared no effort in greeting him on weekdays. They didn't even bother to think of excuses. The so-called royal husband was just a decoration and a joke in the eyes of these concubines.

If the Queen hadn't seemed to have some respect for the official husband, they might not have given him even this little bit of face.

"What Brother Huiqing said is absolutely true. Speaking of which, we haven't gone to see the emperor's husband for a while, and we just have important things to do on this trip."

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 commendable in appearance. Even if some of them enter the palace because of their family background, there are still a small number of people who grow up to be like the original ones and do not conform to the mainstream aesthetics.

Therefore, they are particularly willing to find a sense of accomplishment from their original self, especially when Huang Zhengfu secretly looks at them with that envious look, not to mention this feeling of pride.

No one took Yan Chu's tough reply to heart. In their opinion, even if Huang Zhengfu went crazy again, it would not have any impact on them at all.

What's more, the other party has such a face. I'm afraid His Majesty may not be willing to stay at his place except on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Even on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, he may not be that interested.

When they have a princess and a prince, there will be no need to pay attention to the royal husband.

"Okay, let's go."

Liu Lin took a silk handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tea stain at the corner of his mouth. With elegant and calm movements, he stood up and walked out of the palace with the help of the palace attendant on the side.

He stood up, and the other concubines followed him according to their rank, thinking that there might be another good show today.

Coincidentally, as soon as Liu Lin and his party arrived outside Fengyi Palace, Zhang Deqing also came over in a chariot sedan, followed by a group of low-ranking concubines on foot. The two groups of people bumped into each other outside Fengyi Palace. .

"Hey, what a coincidence."

Zhang Ruyi got down from the sedan chair and looked at Liu Lin, who was also delicate and timid and came out of the sedan chair with the support of the palace attendant. The look between the two people was like thunder and lightning plus sparks.

They all entered the palace during last year's general election. The Tianhuang Kingdom's election is held every three years. Occasionally, if there are any natural disasters or man-made disasters, it may be postponed to every five years. Therefore, when new people are admitted to the palace next time, it will be at least two years. It’s a matter of the next year.

In other words, these people in the palace now will not have new opponents in the next two years.

And whoever can get the Queen pregnant with his child in the past two years and gain the Queen's favor is the top priority.

Zhang Ruyi and Liu Lin, as the highest-ranking concubines in the harem besides the emperor's husband, had long regarded each other as their strong rivals. They were much more afraid of each other than they were of their original selves.

"Brother Deqing is also here to pay homage to Fengjun?"

De Hui, virtuous and virtuous, although they were of the same rank, Deqing was ranked before Hui Qing, not to mention that both of them were canonized at the same time. According to the established rules, Liu Lin should call Zhang Ruyi brother.

"I was negligent before and actually forgot to pay respects to Lord Feng. Brother Huiqing only remembered it today?" Zhang Deqing looked confused, "I originally thought that brother Huiqing is a little older than me and should know more about this than me. The rules are.”

Zhang Ruyi raised her eyebrows and said unwillingly.

Don’t you just want to be a brother? Old man, I will let you be a brother for fun.

Yan Chu took a bath in Chenxiao Palace, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then walked to Fengyi Palace with a group of palace attendants.

He clearly heard the two people's quarrels, and couldn't help but wonder why men started to fight in the palace, and they were no different from women.

"Fengjun 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, saw this and put aside their prejudices and saluted Yan Chu.

It's just that this salute 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 Gongdou Opera, should he let them keep saluting and then leave them alone?

But usually at this time, according to some unspeakable theorem, the queen should appear at the right time and then scold him for being unkind and ungenerous.

Or ask if they are not fed enough in the palace. They are unable to even salute. Please ask some old ladies to re-teach them the rules of the palace.

The latter looks relatively normal, but Yan Chu feels awkward no matter what he thinks.

Sure enough, he is still not suitable for competing with a group of men for favor. He only needs to be responsible for conquering the queen.

These older brothers love to play so much, so just go and play by yourself.

Liu Huiqing and others didn't know what Yan Chu was thinking about now. They looked at Yan Chu as usual, and regarded his sudden and firm request for the palace attendant to inform them to come to Fengyi Palace to see them if anything happened, as an occasional convulsion on his part.

"Fengjun is dressed very uniquely today."

Arriving at the main hall of Fengyi Palace, the palace attendants served tea and snacks in an orderly manner. Yan Chu sat at the top, and the other palace concubines also took their seats according to their rank.

The young escort who stirred up trouble in Liu Lin's palace was the first to show up. Looking at Yan Chu's unpainted face, he covered his mouth and smiled with some meaning.

Everyone had already seen it when they were just saluting. The emperor, who always dressed in a nondescript manner in the past, actually became smarter this time. I don’t know if it was because he had just recovered from illness and was not in the mood to dress up, or if he really thought about it and understood what he had done before. Dressing myself up like that is even more unbearable to look at.

"That's right, Feng Jun's white-faced peach blossom make-up before was very beautiful, and the concubines wanted to learn from it." Wang, the attendant at Zhang Deqing's side, said.

The white-faced peach blossom makeup was learned from the original style. The first person to wear this makeup in the palace was Zhang Deqing.

The other person's skin was as good as snow. He applied a slightly richer rouge on his eyes and cheeks, and put a flower patch on his forehead. He was very charming, but the original person was different. He looked thick and tall now, and he also had a flower patch on his forehead. , that is, ugly people often cause mischief.

These words were obviously made with bad intentions. They just wanted to make Yan Chu mistakenly think that he dressed well and brilliantly in the past. If he continued to dress like this, he might be able to please the queen. In fact, they knew it well. .

"Ru Xiao, since Attendant Wang likes your craftsmanship, you can follow Attendant Wang in the future. As for the rouge and gouache that is not needed in my palace, all the rouge and gouache in my palace will be sent to Attendant Wang. Since he likes white-faced peach blossom makeup, he must let him wear it every day. Dressing up nicely is what I, Feng Jun, want."

Yan Chu ate a grape. In ancient times, fruits were relatively rare. For example, the few baskets of grapes sent as tribute from the south this time were only available in Fengyi Palace except the Queen's.

In fact, if you really think about it, the Queen already respects the original husband as the real husband, but the original person cannot stand up on his own, and even the escorts from the fifth rank can climb on top of him. This emperor's official husband is simply a failure. s failure.

"Fengjun."

Ru Xiao and Wang, who were waiting on the side, spoke at the same time, their tone of panic and dissatisfaction.

This white-faced peach blossom makeup is Zhang Deqing's most proud makeup, because when he first entered the palace, the Queen once praised him with such makeup, saying that people are more beautiful than flowers. This is also Zhang Deqing's most proud thing.

The original person imitated this makeup before, because he was ugly and it highlighted Zhang Deqing's beauty. Naturally, he didn't mind, but Wang Shishi was different. He himself has a beautiful appearance, and his style is somewhat similar to Zhang Deqing. If he tries to imitate it again, Zhang Deqing dressed up and was not eaten alive by him.

Wang's attendant was worried and secretly annoyed that Yan Chu didn't act according to common sense.

Ru Xiao is equally unhappy. Even a second-class palace attendant is more noble than a minor escort. What's more, the future of the attendant Wang is uncertain. He himself has a delicate appearance. When will I be able to stand out next to him?

"It turns out that I, Fengjun, can still keep my words."

The expression on Yan Chu's face dropped and he looked coldly at the two people who refused.

With a start, Wang Shishi and Ru Xiao knelt down with a plop. They didn't understand why they were so flustered.

"I don't dare to do that. It's just that Xiao is a person that Feng Jun respects. How can I dare to take away Feng Jun's favor?"

A cold sweat broke out from Wang's back, thinking to himself, when did this brainless royal husband have such a intimidating power, even compared to the queen.

Could it be that he was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger to test them? And now that the temptation is over, you have finally decided to settle with them?

Not only the attendant Wang thought this way, but also most of the concubines present had the same idea.

"What's more, my concubine's posture is not worthy of Fengjun's good things. I ask Fengjun to take back my life." This time, the attendant Wang did not dare to cheat and cheat. He honestly performed the gift, for fear that Yan Chu would really treat such a thing. Xiao gave it to him.

Liu Lin didn't speak at the side, but his expression was equally ugly.

The Queen had previously dealt with a group of palace servants from Fengyi Palace. She had placed many people in Fengyi Palace, but she only retained one Ru Xiao. Fortunately, Ru Xiao served Yan Chu closely and kept him a better person. It would be more useful to protect the other ten palace residents.

But now that ugly husband actually wants to send Ru Xiao to the attendant Wang. Does he know about the relationship between Ru Xiao and him? Or is it just a whim?

"It is precisely because of your beauty that you need to dress up well. Don't worry, I am not a narrow-minded person and will not hold any grudge against you because of this."

After a while, the grape skins in front of Yan Chu had piled up into a small mountain. The nervousness of Wang Shushi and Ru Xiao below, who were sweating profusely, seemed to have no impact on him.

"Fengjun."

Attendant Wang is Zhang Deqing's man. At this time, he naturally has to stand up and speak for the other party. What's more, he really doesn't want a third person in the palace to imitate his dressing style.

"If Xiao's skill in makeup and hair is so skillful, it's up to Mr. Feng to enjoy it."

Zhang Deqing's expression was a little strange. Looking at Yan Chu's face, he was curious as to how he could seriously follow what Mr. Wang said and said that his appearance was just that of Pu Liu. If Mr. Wang was that of Pu Liu, then what was he?

"unnecessary."

Yan Chu answered without much thought, taking the handkerchief handed over by Yan Shiyi and wiping his fingers.

"His Majesty praised me before for my simplicity and naturalness, which made her feel refreshed. I think so too. Since Your Majesty likes me to be so fresh and generous, I will naturally keep it up. I will give you those rouge and gouache that you need. Come on, we are all His Majesty’s men anyway, and everything must be based on His Majesty’s preferences.”

Fresh and generous? Refreshing? Rustic and natural?

Can these adjectives be applied to Yan Chu’s face?

Except for Yan Shiyi and Yan Chu's two crazy fans of Yan Chu, everyone in Fengyi Palace couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. They really wanted to go over and grab Yan Chu's arms and ask him how 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 Queen didn't even praise his appearance. Why did he defeat this ugly man Yan Chu? It must be because he was overthinking.

"Why, does Liu Huiqing mean that this Fengjun is ugly?"

Yan Chu opened his eyes and slapped the table next to him. With a click, the originally intact table fell into pieces. Fortunately, the fruit plate on the table was put away because the fruits had been eaten. Otherwise, it would also have happened. Follow the smash.

The concubines present turned pale, covering their chests with both hands, looking at the remains of the tables on the ground, as if Yan Chu's palm had hit them.

If you think about it carefully, this slap can break a solid wooden table into pieces. If it really hits a person, it will at least break the bones.

They never thought that Feng Jun was actually such a Feng Jun.

Even if he shamelessly praises his good looks, he is still so violent.

What should I do in the future? Can I still quarrel with Fengjun? If he can't argue and becomes angry and fights with them, they won't be like little flowers swaying in the wind and can only endure his abuse.

For a moment, Liu Lin and others felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and they wished they could faint.

"Forget it, you are just ordinary harem men after all. I cannot ask you to have the extraordinary aesthetic vision and taste skills of Her Majesty the Queen."

Yan Chu waved his hand and asked people to clean up the mess here, and then magnanimously showed his tolerance and kindness as the emperor's husband.

Of course, no one felt this at all. They only felt that the suddenly abnormal Feng Jun relied on his own force to intimidate and became extremely shameless.

But who dares to refute? First think about whether your body is harder than that table's.

"Attendant Wang, you..."

There was no need for Yan Chu to say anything at this time. The kneeling attendant Wang almost fell to the ground and said hurriedly: "I'll give you my ugly appearance. I'll give you my Puliu posture. I'm grateful for Feng Jun's kindness. I will definitely live up to it." Fengjun takes good care of her and strives to be as beautiful as Fengjun."

Attendant Wang was almost crying. Seeing that he was so sensible, Feng Jun should be able to spare him. If he was not interested, he should be treated like this.

He is already like this, let alone Ru Xiao.

Thinking about the fear of being controlled by Yan Chu's whip in the martial arts arena, he swallowed and was speechless.

******

This time the greeting ended with Yan Chu's unilateral satisfaction. Liu Lin and others quickly found an excuse and came out of Fengyi Palace before they even had time to talk about business.

After leaving the palace, Liu Lin and Zhang Ruyi glanced at each other, understood each other's intentions, and rushed towards Minghuang Palace in a hurry.

This is ridiculous. They must find the Queen and file a complaint against Yan Chu. This is definitely intimidation. He will threaten them with force in the future. This palace is still fighting like this.
