Yan Gui Hall
On the table in the center of the bedroom was a tiger-patterned incense burner, with curls of green smoke rising from it, making the already exotic atmosphere of the house even more lively.
Everything here, from beds, tables and chairs to vases and incense burners, was made by Emperor Man. If you didn't see the high walls and courtyards in the distance, you would think this was Bantu, not Dayong.
At this moment, Di Zixiao was sitting on the floor covered with a wool blanket, wiping a dagger.
Xiao Lu placed the bowl of tea next to Di Zixiao's hand and said, "Master, what's wrong with Her Majesty? Doesn't she usually dislike that Feng Jun the most? Why is she speaking in his favor today? You've wasted your time planning."
He muttered a few words, and seeing that Di Zixiao hadn't responded, he said carefully, "Now that His Majesty has demoted you to a servant, you have to think of a way."
At this moment, Di Zixiao did not hold back his edge. When he raised his eyes, his gaze was sharper than the dagger in his hand. "Your Majesty? Oh, she's just an obedient dog. As long as I wave, she will wag her tail at me."
“…”
Di Zixiao was different from those male favorites. He entered the palace as a hostage.
After all, he came here on behalf of Bantu, so Diman couldn't tease him without any status.
In order to get him into the palace, Di Man did everything she could. Although she was the empress, she would accompany him every day, wishing she could give him her heart.
Di Zixiao took this opportunity to put forward conditions, asking Di Man to treat him equally.
In other words, in front of him, Diman could not act like a queen. He could act according to his mood, without having to flatter her, and could even refuse her favor.
Only after he had trained Diman to a level that satisfied him did he agree to let him enter the palace.
Even so, he felt that it was too condescending for him, a prince, to fawn over a woman like Diman and compete for her favor.
Yes, he was not just any nobody, he was the little prince of Bantu Khan. But his father Khan was in his prime, so naturally he had more than one son, he had more than a dozen brothers.
However, among these dozen brothers, his father Khan chose him as a hostage, not for any other reason, but because of his good looks.
His mother cried until her eyes were swollen. She knelt in front of his father Khan's tent and begged him desperately, but he still couldn't take back his decision.
Before leaving, his mother hugged him and cried, but he just felt annoyed.
If her status wasn't low, how could she have caused him to be so neglected? So when his mother told him that he was a hostage after all, and that Dayong wouldn't do anything for the sake of both countries' pride, he didn't hesitate to refute her.
"Dayong respects women. His father, the Khan, sent him there just to be a plaything. Why should he deceive himself?"
After saying this, he left Bantu.
Just as he guessed, not long after he entered the palace, the previous empress of Dayong died of illness. He was also favored by Di Man and was taken into the harem.
But his ambitions went beyond that. He knew that once the two armies went to war, he, as a hostage of the enemy country, would definitely become a victim, so he had to strike first.
What he wants is not only Bantu, but also Dayong. He wants no one in the world to dare to look down on him. He wants everyone to crawl at his feet and wag their tails to beg for mercy!
...
Xiao Lu was unaware of his master's ambitions and was still speaking up for Di Zixiao.
"What queen? After all, she's just the master's dog. It's just that the master has to deal with her."
Di Zixiao also agreed. He was disgusted by the thought of a prince showing affection to a woman. He suppressed his nausea and said, "Even if I want to deal with her, it's not now. I'll leave her alone for a few days, lest she gets ahead of me and takes advantage of me."
"Master, you are wise. If His Majesty comes to see you in the next few days, I will always tell you that you are unwell."
"Um."
Di Zixiao felt a little better. He raised the dagger in his hand and admired the blade.
This dagger was brought by him from Bantu. Unlike the daggers in the Central Plains, it has a slight curve and is inlaid with gems.
He turned his wrist and finally made a forward thrusting motion, the tip of the knife reflecting a dazzling light under the sunlight.
It’s almost there, he’s about to put the entire Dayong under his feet.
By then, he would use this dagger to cut her into pieces and let her know who was the king.
-
In Fengqi Palace, Su Man, who was originally dozing off, suddenly shuddered.
She woke up from her half-sleep state and realized that Feng Jun had been gone for half an hour.
this?
Does it take so long to remove makeup?
Su Man grabbed a palace messenger and asked, "Where is Feng Jun? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, our Lord Feng is..." The palace messenger hesitated to speak.
"Just say what you want to say."
"Yes, Your Majesty. My Lord Feng said he dared not see you without makeup, so he had to put on makeup again."
"ha?"
“…”
In the bedroom, Feng Jun was frantically applying powder to his face.
"Quick! Bring me my lip balm, quick!"
The palace attendant hurriedly selected Feng Jun's favorite color from the bottles and jars on the table, "Here, here."
Feng Jun took it, put his fingers in to scoop out a large amount, applied it directly on his lips, and smudged it.
While applying the hair, she kept muttering, "His Majesty is still waiting outside. Please help me comb my hair again and don't let His Majesty wait anxiously!"
"Why!"
The palace maid skillfully helped Feng Jun separate her hair strand by strand and braided them one by one.
"Master, His Majesty just told you to take off your makeup, why are you putting it on again?"
Feng Jun pursed his red lips and rubbed them to make the color more even. After two "pa pa" sounds, he nodded with satisfaction and said as he painted his eyebrows, "You know nothing. What woman likes her man without makeup? Your Majesty was nice to me just now. What if he is scared by my bare face and never comes again? I can't take that risk."
