204, The Queen's Favorite Husband
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Liu Lin's eyes widened, fearing that he had just misunderstood. Where did that ugly husband get the confidence to let them, the concubines, accompany him to do those unknown things.
"It's absolutely true. It was the Eleventh Eunuch from Fengyi Palace who came to deliver the message. Moreover, Eleventh said that Feng Jun will send an imperial doctor over later to diagnose the Young Master's pulse."
The palace attendant looked worried, obviously worried about his master.
"Then just say I'm sick. It's a joke. Running and playing with guns is what girls should do. What does it have to do with me? He Yan Chu did not just copy his tricks to us just because he was born into a family of military commanders. Come on."
Liu Lin felt that he had misjudged the ugly husband. He was so stupid. His intentions were simply vicious.
He could almost imagine how the white skin he took care of would be burned by the sun if he ran twenty laps around the martial arts arena of Chenxiao Palace every day and then used a set of guns, as well as his slender waist. , the frail and delicate body may no longer exist.
How could Liu Lin be willing to see such a thing happen? His father gave him such a beautiful appearance, and it was not for the purpose of spoiling him.
/ Ta.
The ugly husband must be jealous of their looks and deliberately wanted to "disfigure" them. His thoughts were so cruel that it made people's hair stand on end.
But then he thought about it, and Liu Lin suddenly hesitated for a moment.
Although he likes his current appearance, the Queen doesn't like him. I don't see the Queen doting on that ugly husband so much now. I'm sure the Queen just likes this kind of strong and rude man.
If I could really train with that ugly husband and develop myself in his direction, would I be able to win the favor of the Queen?
On the one hand, there was beauty that he was reluctant to throw away, and on the other hand, he was the queen's favor. All of a sudden, Liu Lin was caught in a dilemma.
"What the young master just thought is absolutely unacceptable."
The palace attendant heard Liu Lin's intention to pretend to be sick and quickly stopped him: "There is news from our hidden stakes that when I was greeting the king in the morning..." The palace attendant told the king to accompany the attendant in the morning. The passage was repeated again, "If we continue to pretend to be sick, I'm afraid the whole harem will spread the news that the master is in poor health and is not suitable to be the princess or the biological father of the prince."
The princess and the prince are both born from the queen, and the conditions of the mother's generation are all the same. The difference lies in the child's biological father. If Liu Lin is lucky enough to have a little princess or a little prince in the future, I am afraid that whatever disease the other party may contract can be Liu Lin was implicated by someone who was interested, saying that it was because of his health that he was dragging down the emperor's heir. When the time comes, even Her Majesty the Queen will have a grudge against him.
"Damn Zhang Ruyi."
Liu Lin cursed angrily. Wang Shi was Zhang Deqing's lackey. No one in the palace knew that he could say such a thing because it was definitely Zhang Ruyi's instigation. Liu Lin was convinced of this.
In this way, pretending to be sick is definitely not advisable. This can be regarded as indirectly helping Liu Lin make a decision. He was so cruel that he gave up his skin. He fought hard for the queen's favor.
Liu Lin reluctantly touched his silky white skin, and his heart was bleeding.
"Help me call the best painter in the palace."
Everyone has to lose, and before losing, he wants to keep the most beautiful part of himself.
Infected by his emotions, the palace attendants in Lingju Palace felt as if they were mourning for their heirs. This Feng Jun really thought of it all at once. I really hope that Her Majesty the Queen could organize it in time when she heard Feng Jun's ridiculous behavior. She couldn't let it go. He, an ugly husband, must be a disaster to the beautiful flowers in the harem.

"Haha, are you saying that Feng Jun requires the concubines in the harem to go to Chenxiao Palace to exercise with him every morning?"
Feng Zhao put down the memorial, pinched the bridge of his nose, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard the news about the harem coming from Jiang Chuan.
Sometimes she really wanted to get into Yan Chu's mind and see what he was thinking about every day.
"Isn't that right? The concubines in the harem are full of complaints. They are all pampered young masters at home. None of them are like Feng Jun. They have the habit of wielding swords and guns."
Jiang Liu's first reaction when he saw the Queen was not to be angry, but to laugh from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but raise Yan Chu's favor level by several levels. At the same time, he also felt that the money he received this time seemed a bit hot.
"What? Has a concubine complained to you?"
Feng Zhao's expression calmed down, he took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at Jiang Liu and asked.
Facing the Queen's gaze, Jiang Liu couldn't help but stiffen and his hair stood on end. Even though he had been waiting by the Queen's side for a long time, he was still often shocked by the Queen's aura.
"Nothing can be hidden from His Majesty's eyes, but this matter is indeed causing quite a fuss, and I'm worried that it will escalate to the emperor." Jiang Liu calmed down and said to the Queen.
"Ah."
Feng Zhao sneered, thinking about the old ministers in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husbandry who were relying on their elders these days. They talked to her in a roundabout way, saying that the Ministry of Hubu was empty, the military pay was tight, and there were fewer and fewer young and middle-aged people voluntarily recruiting in recent years, and they were not suitable to work with her. When the tribes of Akame went to war, did they really think she was the queen they could fool when she just ascended the throne? I really didn't know what to say.
Since Feng Zhao ascended the throne, there have been no large-scale natural disasters, and the tax revenue has increased steadily every year. These tax dollars have been put into the national treasury. She has already planned various uses, but in the end, everyone told her this There wasn't enough money, money was tight there, so where did her money go? Did it grow wings and fly away?
Her kindness is not a reason for them to bite her nose.
Feng Zhao remembered that there was a good prince in her harem who was the son of the Minister of War. He was the most active in the court these days. Before she took action against those stubborn old ministers, she would start with their sons.
"Give orders to deliver tea to Feng Jun and other concubines in Chenxiao Palace at noon every day. Also, send two male doctors to the Imperial Hospital every day to pay attention to the health of the concubines. Remember to remind Feng Jun not to tire herself. Some things can be handed over to the people below."
In the previous dynasty, she proposed the intention of attacking the Red Woman Tribe. In addition to some of her confidants, now only Zhang Shangshu and Yan Beitian support it. Zhang Shangshu is Zhang Deqing's biological mother. Feng Zhao also knows that not long ago, Zhang Deqing asked the Zhang family's informant in the palace to send a secret letter to his mother.
Zhang Deqing is a smart man, but Feng Zhao is a little afraid of him. Yan Chu doesn't have this worry. First, Yan Beitian is too far away. He still controls one-fifth of the military force of Tianhuang Kingdom. Although Feng Zhao trusts her, she also sends people to monitor her around the clock. If Yan Chu and Yan Beitian have any contact in private, he will know it at the first time.
What's more, Feng Zhao believes that the little idiot doesn't have that IQ.
Thinking about the idea he came up with now, Feng Zhao couldn't help but want to laugh again. She never knew that someone could make her so happy.
If Yan Chu can keep it like this, even if he looks a little uglier, she will accept it.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Before Jiang Liu had time to relax that the queen didn't care about him accepting the benefits of those concubines in the harem, he was surprised by the smile and relaxation that the queen inadvertently showed.
Thinking back to what the Queen said just now, all of them supported Feng Jun, especially the second half, which immediately distanced Feng Jun from other concubines.
It seemed that other concubines were suffering, but the Queen said that she was afraid that Feng Jun would be tired. She was simply partial to him and really held him in the palm of her hand.
The smart Jiang Liu immediately planned to change his attitude towards Yan Chu. Before, he also thought that the Queen's patience and love for Feng Jun might be because of General Yan, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
If it is just to show off to General Yan, it is enough to stay at Feng Jun's place for a few more nights after the coming-of-age ceremony. Why should she still go to Feng Jun's place every three or five days when she is busy with official duties, even if he has such a ridiculous idea and still supports him.
Jiang Liu was shocked and broke into a cold sweat. It seems that he will have to think carefully before those concubines give him benefits in the future.
The current empress is not the previous one, kind and nostalgic. If he really did something taboo, let alone he had served the empress for eight years, even if it was eighty years, the empress might not let him go.
Feng Zhao saw Jiang Liu's deep thought from the corner of her eye, and a light flashed in her eyes. She opened another memorial to review.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Jiang Liu is a person who knows the limit. She can allow the other party to accept some benefits from the male relatives in the harem, but she will never allow him to use those little tricks on her.
She has given him this chance. If there is a next time, it will not be so simple.
Jiang Liu didn't know that he had escaped a disaster. He ordered to pass the empress's oral order to the harem. The despair of the concubines who were still expecting after hearing the empress's oral order was not to mention.
On that day, the tea cups and vases in each palace were damaged to varying degrees. Without exception, it was all the carelessness of the palace servants.
However, no matter how much trouble they made, no matter how much they resisted, it was a foregone conclusion to train with Yan Chu.
*****
"Brother Deqing, you came really early?"
Liu Lin saw Zhang Ruyi coming late, and said with a fake smile.
"Brother Huiqing is finally no longer sick, I am really happy for you."
The two first palace masters were talking and talking, and the other concubines were hiding behind, thinking about the upcoming "torture", their pretty faces were wrinkled into bitter gourds.
Needless to say, the king's companion, he wished he could shrink the earth into an inch so that no one could see him.
"See Lord Feng."
When Yan Chu came over, the conversations and complaints stopped, and they frowned at Yan Chu who was wearing a modified women's dress.
There was no extra decoration, just a simple double-breasted top and long trousers. Such clothes would only be worn when going hunting, and the men's hunting clothes were much more complicated and gorgeous than what Yan Chu was wearing now.
Such clothes would be too simple even for servants.
"I really guessed it. Eleven or twelve, take out the clothes I prepared and let the concubines change into them. Also, get some more water and let the palace servants help the concubines with their makeup."
Looking at these dozens of layers of single clothes, silk and satin, I don't know if they can take a step. There are also gold, silver and jade ornaments. This is a training meeting, not a show-off meeting.
If we really want to run, we can't compete to see who can pick up the fallen jewelry better, or perform fancy falls on the ground?
Zhang Ruyi and others looked at each other, looking at the palace servants holding clothes of similar styles to those worn by Yan Chu, and basins of clean water and fragrant soap, they felt a bad premonition.
They were asked to remove their makeup in public, what hatred or grudge?
