The Ugly Empress《丑娘娘》Chou Niang Niang
The Ugly Empress vol 1, Chapter 12: Bed talks
When the palace attendant came, Xiu Yao was happier than her master, and immediately prepared bath and dressing for Teng Yun. She also gave some benefits to the palace attendant messenger.
Only Teng Yun was not excited. After all, he knew how a monarch can be lucky to consummate with an ugly empress. Even if the ugly empress is not as ugly as before, it still can't be compared with other beauties.
What is that medicine sold in the gourd of Xue Jun Liang? It's too late to think about it. In fact, it's very simple. Xue Jun Liang should not only take advantage of marrying the Teng state great prince to recuperate, but also stand for the Xue state.
The existence of his current identity paves the way for Xue Jun Liang. He wanted to make use of ugly empress to show off his power to the new concubine, and he wanted the empress married from the Feng state to be grateful to him.
Xue Jun Liang planned things very well, but unfortunately his plans met Teng Yun.
Teng Yun took a long time to bathe. He didn't move fast or slow or slow. He didn't take this seriously at all. At the beginning, Xiu Yao was very happy, but later she didn't feel right.
After Teng Yun’s bathing, Xiu Yao picked out clothes for him. He has a good figure, looks dignified, gorgeous and charming. Xiu Yao can only sigh in her heart, hoping that her face will be better soon, so that the Yunfeng palace can be really be stable in the imperial harem.
Xi Yao styled a hair bun for Teng Yun, and Jiang Yu came over and said, “Empress, don't let his majesty wait."
Xiu Yao also wanted to laugh and say it quickly, but she didn't say it, so she listened to Teng Yun's first words. “Thank you for coming to the Yunfeng palace in person, but I may be ashamed of his love..."
Jiang Yu was a little confused and said, “What's the point of saying this empress?"
Jiang Yu hurried to come back soon, and bowed his head respectfully: “His majesty, the empress said it’s said that she may not be able to serve his majesty because she is ill today... "
Xue Jun Liang laughed as soon as he heard it. Jiang Yu thought that the emperor had to lose his temper. He didn't know there was any sign of anger at all. Instead, he said, "Zhen married an empress who can read his heart. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing..."
He pondered for a moment and said, “Since empress is ill, prepare to walk on the chariot. Zhen will go to see her with the doctor himself."
Xiu Yao looks as if he has been beaten by frost, and some of her hair is wilting. She said: “What are you doing for? If... If you make a man of temper angry, don't blame his maidservant for not being superior or inferior. If you don't make a man of temper at such a time, what can we do if he is angry?"
Teng Yun was speechless, but sighed. It's unfortunate that Xiu Yao followed him. After all, some palace people don't want to follow the beloved master. If they get the way, they will rise to heaven. Even a servant of theirs will have a reputation and some clout.
But Teng Yun doesn't want to be the empress at all. His name is Teng Yun. He is the chief General of the Teng state, and even his whole life ended in Xue Jun Liang's hands. He can still dream about the scene of piercing his heart with a sword. How can he serve his enemy with a woman's body?
Though Teng Yun is not stupid, he knew how to survive. Only if he survives can he find a chance to escape the Xue state. But this is his bottom line. Xue Jun Liang can't touch him, even if he burns both jade and common stones.
Teng Yun was sitting in a reclining chair, looking up, when she saw a maid running in in a hurry and saying, “Empress, his majesty... His majesty has come to see you himself!”
This time, even Xiu Yao is stunned. Is it possible that he is here to criticize her violently?
Xiu Yao suddenly sweated on her hand and said: “Empress, or you can persuade on, just say headache!”
During the conversation, Xu Jun Liang's walking carriage has arrived at the gate of the Yunfeng palace. Xu Jun Liang got off the walking carriage. The palace people go all the way to the palace with the palace lamp lighting the way.
Xue Jun Liang entered the hall, and everyone knelt down to say greetings to the Emperor Xue.
Xue Jun Liang looked around for a while, and Teng Yun knelt in the middle, with his head down, but he could not see his expression. He personally pulled Teng Yun up and said, “Why should Consort Ai be more polite? Zhen heard that you are ill, so he came to visit."
Teng Yun was supported by Xue Jun Liang, who held his wrist with one hand and his arm with the other hand, which made Teng Yun extremely disgusted, but he is not stupid enough to shake off Emperor Xue, so he can only bear it.
Teng Yun, made a dull apology.
Xue Jun Liang helped Teng Yun into the inner room and said, “What do you think of Consort Ai's face these days? Does the prescription given by imperial physician hospital still work?"
Teng Yun listened to his half true and half true concern. He only asked once and answered half true.
Xue Jun Liang found that their conversation was very interesting. He drew his own gourd and then he drew a ladle. It seemed to be very respectful. But the meaning of the other party was obvious, that is, he didn't care about him.
Emperor Xue can't say that everything has been going smoothly for so many years, but there were no major problems. He doesn't want to be flattered by others, but it's everyone's instinct to listen to good words about themselves. And when suddenly, a person pops up and everyone else caters to you, but that doesn't like to take cater of you, so this is the reason why Xue Jun Liang suddenly became interested.
“Since Consort Ai is not disturbed in any way, Zhen won't disturb Consort Ai's rest if he stays here tonight?"
When Xue Jun Liang finished, he saw that the other party was tense and frowned. It seemed that he wanted to refute him immediately, but he choked his words back again. His expression was only fleeting, but Xue Jun Liang saw it really and felt it was more interesting.
Xue Jun Liang ordered people to take the chess board and the chess jar, and then told the palace people go out. They even wanted to play chess with Teng Yun.
Although Xue Jun Liang likes to play chess, he is actually a lousy player. Every time he plays chess with Xue Hou Yang, Xue Hou Yang deliberately let him win. Even though Xue Hong is born with a straight temper, he knew that the imperial court official life is different. Who dares to win a chess game against the ruler of a state?
However, Teng Yun was not cordial and did not purposely lost anything. After losing three games in a row, Xue Jun Liang smiled and pushed the chess pieces away, then said: “Consort Ai's chess skill is superb. Zhen has been convinced of your skills, and there is no turning point at all."
"Playing chess is a matter of cultivating one's nature. I think that his majesty is not suitable for playing chess."
"Oh?"
Xue Jun Liang said with a smile, “Why does Consort Ai think so?"
“His majesty is too violent."
Teng Yun said, "Look after this and lose a sight of the other, and kill a sinister thing."
Xue Jun Liang looked at the chessboard for a long time, seemed to be thinking about Teng Yun's words, and finally said: “It seems that Zheng is greedy."
Teng Yun sneered in his heart, but said, “I didn't mean to contradict his majesty."
“What brought this on?" said Xue Jun Liang. "Zhen doesn't mean to blame Consort Ai, and Zhen will consider the bitter words of Consort Ai."
They played three games of chess, but it was not too late. Xue Jun Liang didn't leave. He took medicine to Teng Yun himself, and then asked the palace people to retire.
Xue Jun Liang took off his blouse except for the crown tassels, but saw Teng Yun still standing not far away.
Teng Yun said: “His majesty will not be disturbed when he went to bed, so I will kneel down."
Xue Jun Liang really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The emperor came to the empress palace, and then the emperor slept in but empress and left. What's the reason for that?
Teng Yun was just about to turn around and go out, but Xue Jun Liang suddenly rushed up, grabbed the other side's wrist and held it in his arms.
When all the palace people saw this scene, they all retreated wisely and secretly said that the empress really had a plot, which fascinated the emperor.
Teng Yun was trapped in his arms by Xue Jun Liang. This body is not his own. He has no strength and can't push to be rid of the grip. He can only subconsciously tighten his back and stare at the other person on guard.
Xue Jun Liang was amused by his expression, like a cat in a hurry. He blew his hair and bright claws in his arms.
Xue Jun Liang held his waist and didn't let go. Another hand scratched vaguely on his back and smiled, “Doesn't Consort Ai want to serve Zhen at bedtime?"
Teng Yun said, “I'm afraid I'm ugly, which will scare his majesty."
“It's because I left you out before."
Teng Yun didn't know where the other side idea came from, so he said: “It's not early, his majesty better go to bed, and he will marry a new concubine in the morning tomorrow."
He didn't know that when he said it like this, the words would sit on the table vinegar as if he tasted it. It really sounded like he was jealous.
Xue Jun Liang laughed, suddenly arms pulled him by force, held Teng Yun horizontally and put him on the couch.
Teng Yun was shocked and wanted to sit up with his hands on his back. Xue Jun Liang thought it was fun to play with him, but for him it was not good to play with him.
So he put his hand on his shoulder, let him lie back in bed, and said, “Don't worry, since you don't want to, I wouldn't ask you for the truth, but this is sooner or later, you will always be willing to."
Xue Jun Liang said that the victory was in hand, as if he could do it with ease. Teng Yun didn't think about his words, only knew that he was safe at present, and then he felt what the future hold, he felt like he was in a cold sweat.
Xue Jun Liang laid outside, put down the curtain, tuck in the brocade quilt for Teng Yun, and said, “Go to sleep."
Though Teng Yun doesn't want to be in the same bed with Xue Jun Liang, he somehow escaped from the consummation, so there's not so much demanding. He tried to keep a distance with Xue Jun Liang and shrunk in.
* * * * *
Xu Hou Yang's army has camped in the outskirts of the capital and will be able to enter the capital in another half day.
The sun was about to set. In another night, the princess will marry into the Xue state. Teng Shang felt a little bit like the sunset. Maybe he can't live after he entered the imperial capital.
Following in this entourage was a close friend of Emperor Teng. At this time, he hesitated and suddenly knelt down and said, "Lord Xiang! Listen to this old slave, please, run away when it gets dark! "
Teng Shang looked at the kneeling man and said with a smile: “Strange, how can you persuade me to escape? This escape will be seen as disloyalty and unfilially."
The palace attendant cried: “The whole Teng state knows the loyalty and filial piety of Lord Xiang, but Emperor Teng doesn't know. Even if Lord Xiang died in the Xue state, the emperor still won't know, although this old slave is greatly influenced by the emperor’s favors, he also understood the heartfelt loyalty of Shang Xiang. If Lord Xiang doesn't go at this time, he will not return to the country! What a pain?!"
Teng Shang sighed: "But why, the whole Teng state knows, Emperor Teng alone doesn't know as you said... I'm deeply in favor of the emperor. This time I'll be rewarded even if you report it."
During the conversation between the two of them, Xue Hou Yang came over and surprised the palace attendant. He didn’t know if the Marquis of Wannian heard their words.
The Marquis of Wannian's sharp face didn't have deductive expression, he just said: “Tomorrow we will be coming to the imperial capital, and Shang Xiang would like to have a drink?"
