The Ugly Empress vol 1, Chapter 1: The ugly empress

The Xue state has a very talked about ugly empress.

The ugly empress surname is that of the Feng state, and she is also the sister of the current emperor of the Feng state. When she was married to the Xue state, there was naturally only one reason for her marriage to the Xue state.

* * * * *

Teng Yun didn't have a patch of good unmarred skin on him. After just two days in prison, he had been beaten to point his the skin and flesh blue and black.

He was shackled, uncertain and weak to the out most extreme. If he could climb up and walk, he would never walk like this, but this was not his hometown. He could not show a trace of cowardice, even captives.

Pushed and pushed by the guards, he was put into the hall.

All people were looking at this legendary figure, the God of war of the Teng state, who has been in an undefeated position in the battlefield. At this moment, he is defeated. From him, we can see the changes of a country.

Just, only that pair of dark eyes, crystal bright, kept flickering with no weak light.

All of us were united in the bottom of our hearts. I'm afraid that this kind of person can't be allowed to live if we were to be safe.

Teng Yun raised his head and saw the only person sitting in the hall. He was wearing a black snake-skin robes and the crown tassels. He squinted and pursed his lips. He seemed to be smiling, but the smile couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

He is a handsome man, with a black imperial dress against a tall body. He has a natural emperor’s style. He is ruthless and headstrong, but he is a good monarch with a strong and vigorous military thrive.

Teng Yun has heard of this man for a long time. He is the emperor of the Xue state, Xue Jun Liang.

Xue Jun Liang looked at Teng Yun with a kind of look down, as if it is charity.

“General Yun look up and let Zhen have a look."  [1] Well the actual word is Gu which is fancy way of an emperor to say I… so I used Zhen because most of people who ready ancient setting novel are familiar with this world Zhen... hey even in drama it is used as Zhen

Teng Yun looked up obediently, without and resistance, but his eyes were unfriendly, cold and full of hostility. He looked at Xue Jun Liang, who is his lifelong enemy.

Xue Jun Liang was not angry. He got up slowly and walked down the jade steps.

"No emperor!"

In a hurry, the civil servant in the front of jade steps forgot the etiquette and stopped their Xue state's emperor.

This man in the hall is the prince of the enemy country and the God of war of this generation. Although he is weak at this time, he used to be the blood god of war in the battlefield. The Teng State an example of a crumbling country tottering on the edge can last for ten years in a war with the Xue State was because of this iron general.

Seeing the reaction of the imperial court officials, Teng Yun couldn't help laughing, but in the laughter, there was also despair in that laughter.

Xue Jun Liang waved and indicated that it was OK. He walked slowly and stood at the place a step away from Teng Yun.

Looking down at the other person, Xue Jun Liang said: “An army general doesn't know me. You haven't seen Zhen, but this Zhen has seen you. In the battlefield three years ago, this Zhen once saw the General's demeanor. At that time, Zhen was shocked and thought ...”

After a pause, he raised a smile and slowly continued, “This man, damn him."

With that, he swung his sleeve around Teng Yun and strode to the outside of the hall. “Come on, let's have you see how the Xue state martial arts is like."

The guard next to him had to order that he immediately pushed Teng Yun out of the hall, followed by all the civil and military officials of the whole imperial court. He walked in a mighty stride, wider and wider, and finally came to a big empty field.

The open space was very wide, surrounded by banners, a row of targets in the west, a row of weapons in the east, facing south is the emperor’s dragon seat, and a training ground has been built in the south.

Xue Jun Liang went straight to the target, raised his chin, and the guards tied Teng Yun to the nearby stake in a colorful bundled way.

After tying up, the guards bowed down and retreated respectfully.

Xue Jun Liang squinted and stretched his hand. A red uniform general held out a long bow in his hands. Emperor Xue received it, and then another one held a long arrow.

Seeing it, Teng Yun suddenly wanted to laugh again. He finally knew what medicine is sold in the Emperor Xue’s gourd. He wanted to win.

Is it a sword through the throat or pierced through the heart?

The sun is dazzling, and the arrowhead was reflected with a strong light. Xue Jun Liang pulled the bow and took the arrow. The crown of five jade diaries was gently shaking.

Teng Yun suddenly felt that, at this moment, the monarch of the enemy country was a little hard to look at, so domineering and dignified, he was a wise monarch, but unfortunately... His surname is Teng. He was born the prince of the Teng State.

Ten Yun, 19, paid homage to the great general and led the army. In the ten years of civil strife in the Teng state, he had been fighting outside for ten years. But in those ten years, he still could not save his country.

Emperor Xue's gesture of holding the bow, his gesture of pulling the bow, his gesture of taking the arrow, even his gesture of releasing his hand, Teng Yun did not look away

"Zheng-"

Then there was a splash of blood

* * * * *

Teng Yun's back brain felt a little wooden. He felt that he is lying down, but the sky is spinning and he felt sick. He wanted to open his eyes, but he has no strength and sleeps for a long time.

He remembered that he had been killed by Emperor Xue. How could he have a sense? It's hard not to say that Emperor Xue is just an empty watch. It turned out to be he has no strength only words with no actual martial art power. Can he shoot his archery crookedly?

Teng Yun thought, and immediately smiled bitterly. His smile was related to the wound, and he only felt the burning pain on his face.

He didn’t know how long he slept in a daze. He opened his eyes and lay on the bed himself. The Bed Tent didn't come down. It looked like a small room around him, and the furnishings were exquisite.

Teng Yun sneered and thinks that Emperor Xue is really kind, and the prisoners were treated like this?

He stood up, but he seemed to be very weak. He fell off the bed and his hand was rubbing on the ground. It felt as if it was about to break. But now, he has no time to mind the problem of one hand not having strength.

Teng Yun stood up by holding the wooden frame beside him. On the tall wooden frame is a polished copper mirror.

The maid who waited outside the door heard a loud "bang Dang". She rushed into the room immediately, but when she came in, she immediately covered her mouth and broke out into a laughter.

A maid in pink and peach came to pick up the fallen Teng Yun and said with a smile, “Empress, were you scared by the bronze mirror again? It's not a monster hanging in the bronze mirror, but yourself!"

When Teng Yun heard the maid call her empress, he opened his eyes wide, pushed her aside and held his hand. He grabbed the bronze mirror that fell on the ground. It was huge. Now, Teng Yun felt obvious that he was weak and couldn't lift it naturally, but he can see clearly that the inside of the bronze mirror is a graceful and ugly woman.

The woman was wearing a brocade skirt and has a slim and elegant body. But this face was very ugly. If strangers see it, they will think it's a ghost. No wonder Teng Yun himself was shocked.

Teng Yun looked at himself in the bronze mirror, his hands shaking uncontrollably.

The maid in peach powdery clothes said angrily, "Please be careful. Don't damage the copper mirror that Concubine De sent to you. Even if you are empress, Concubine De is the favorite concubine of the emperor. I don't know how to chew the root of your tongue. "

Teng Yun was a man who grew up on the battlefield. He soon calmed down, looked at the bronze mirror on the ground, and listened to the maid's words. He understood more about it.

Now in these countries, whose empress is an unpopular the ugly empress, I'm afraid it's only the original wife of the Emperor of the Xue State - Xue Jun Liang.

The ugly empress is called Feng Yun. She is from same mother and father sister of Emperor Feng. It is said that her face was very ugly and her character was very weak. It's not uncommon for the maid to speak rudely and a concubine to put huge bronze mirror in her bedroom.

Teng Yun didn't speak. The waitress in pink began to tease him more and more, and her words became more and more cruel. Maybe she was used to it. The maid didn't find anything wrong with this empress.

“Empress you... Ah! "

Before the maid finished speaking, she suddenly covered her side face and looked at Teng Yun in disbelief. If it wasn't for the hot pain on her face, she would have thought that the crisp slap in the ear just now was an illusion.

Teng Yun stares at the maid coolly and says with a smile, “How have things gotten to this stage? Did I get a cheap maid who thinks she can have a say in anything with regards to me?"

“Empre ... empress ..."

“Get out and give the bronze mirror back to Concubine De on the way."
