Sister-in-law comes for treatment

Chapter 974 Court Painters

Ren Min saw Fan Hongfu staring at her chest with greedy eyes, as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her chest.

His extremely hungry appearance was even more despicable than a starving wolf that hadn't eaten for two days.

But they insist on saying what constitutes the greatest respect.

Since the other party wasn't in a hurry, she went along with it, saying, "I'll definitely tell my husband what the greatest respect is and make him show the utmost sincerity."

Fan Hongfu picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of food, put it in his mouth and chewed, while reaching out to Ren Min: "Pass me a piece of paper."

Ren Min stood up, pulled a bill from the paper package, bent down and handed it to Fan Hongfu.

Taking advantage of the moment Ren Min bent over, Fan Hongfu glanced inside her collar and felt a surge of excitement.

Seeing Fan Hongfu staring blankly at his collar, pretending not to know, Ren Min waved the tissue in her hand: "Boss, tissue."

Oh ~

Fan Hongfu reached out to take the paper, and casually touched Ren Min's hand. Her smooth, soft little hand made him even more excited: "The paper...it's so soft..."

Ren Min felt the touch on her hand, but pretended not to notice: "Hmm, this paper... seems really nice."

By the way, you weren't finished. What could possibly express the utmost respect for those in power?

Fan Hongfu swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, there is a folk tale about this place."

Do you know what a naked-shaped hairpin is?

what?

Naked shape?

Wearing flowers in one's hair?

Ren Min frowned. She knew what "hairpin" meant and "naked" meant, but she didn't know what the four words meant when put together.

Looking up and seeing the light in Fan Hongfu's eyes, she guessed that "naked hairpin" was definitely not a good thing.

Perhaps it has something to do with women.

She pretended not to know and asked, "I...haven't learned many poses, so I don't know...what is meant by 'naked hairpin'?"

Tell me about it.

Seeing Ren Min's curious expression, Fan Hongfu sat up straight, as if a teacher were lecturing, and coughed, saying, "Do you know about Little Zhou Empress?"

Ren Min certainly knew about Xiao Zhouhou. When she was in high school, she had studied Li Yu's poems and knew that red beans grow in the south and that the sorrow of parting is tangled and cannot be untangled. She had a special feeling in her heart.

He also knew that life is full of regrets, like water flowing eastward forever.

I also know the story of the two Zhou sisters.

But as a woman who specializes in charming men, she naturally knows what kind of women men like. She smiled and said, "I don't know, is it the Zhou Dynasty after the Xia and Shang Dynasties?"

Fan Hongfu laughed heartily: "You, it's not just a short while. You're talking about dynasties, I'm talking about a woman."

Today I'm going to tell you about this woman.

Xiao Zhouhou was the second wife of Li Yu, the last ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

His first wife was Empress Da Zhou. Because Empress Xiao Zhou often visited her sister in the palace, she had more contact with her brother-in-law Li Yu and was attracted by his talent.

Love is my brother-in-law, and then the two of them got together.

Later, Empress Da Zhou died, and Empress Xiao Zhou became the empress. Originally, she and Li Yu were deeply in love and could be considered a couple who were destined to be together.

But fate played a cruel trick; Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to attack, and Li Yu lost.

He had no choice but to lead the sheep and the officials to present gifts and surrender.

Zhao Kuangyin held Li Yu in contempt, saying that it was the rule of scholars that led to the downfall of a nation, hence his disdain for scholars.

Later, the entire Song Dynasty began to promote a large number of scholars, but remained cautious and wary of military men.

They feared that the other party might rebel.

This led to the unique phenomenon in the Song Dynasty where scholars outshone military men. The lives of famous generals such as Di Qing, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zong Ze, and Wu Jie were almost all filled with humiliation.

Oh dear... how did I end up here? I know too much about the Song Dynasty and I accidentally blurted it out.

Let's get back to the topic of naked-shaped hairpins.

Ren Min smiled and said, "You know so much, unlike my husband, who doesn't know anything and is just a roughneck."

She knew that all men liked to be admired and to become the better one in comparison.

These things are similar to those of children, and they're quite boring.

But that's what men like.

And no man can escape this rule, so she would say a few words to please him whenever she had the chance.

This is her professional habit.

Fan Hongfu was overjoyed: "Really? I didn't realize that before. Now that you mention it, I do enjoy reading and history more than the average man."

Ren Min looked at Fan Hongfu with shining eyes: "You... tell me again what a naked-shaped hairpin is, I really want to know."

Fan Hongfu moved a little closer to Ren Min, getting even closer without her noticing, and said with a smile, "Continue talking about the naked hairpin. Zhao Kuangyin destroyed the Southern Tang and enfeoffed Li Yu as the Marquis of Disobedience. Li Yu's empress, Xiao Zhouhou, was made the Lady of Zheng."

At this point, Zhao Kuangyin was actually quite restrained towards the two of them.

But soon Zhao Kuangyin died, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne.

Zhao Guangyi often used the Empress's orders to summon Lady Xiao Zhou, the wife of Zheng, to stay in the palace for several days and nights.

Can you guess what happened here?

Although Ren Min didn't know what would happen, she had a vague idea based on her woman's intuition and understanding of men.

But so as not to disturb Fan Hongfu's interest in telling the story, she pretended not to know: "What happened? Tell me quickly."

"I'm so anxious! Please, Brother Fan, just tell me already!"

Fan Hongfu became increasingly excited. It felt great, like when playing with a woman, using all sorts of tricks to arouse her passion, making her unable to resist and eager to go all the way.

He deliberately dragged his feet, making the woman lower herself to beg, even willingly grovel and plead.

He loved this kind of woman's demeanor the most, and said with a smile, "Don't rush, let me tell you slowly. Once Xiao Zhouhou entered the palace, she didn't come out for days and nights."

But when he came out, he was walking with a limp. Let me put it this way, you've seen patients in the proctology department, right? After they get hemorrhoids, they walk with a limp.

That's exactly how it looks.

Moreover, upon returning home, Empress Xiao Zhou subjected Emperor Zhao Guangyi to all sorts of insults.

Ren Min knew she had to give the answer, so she cooperated and said, "I know, Zhao Guangyi summoned Xiao Zhouhou to the palace and slept with her."

do you mean this? "

Fan Hongfu moved closer to Ren Min, now within arm's reach. He smiled and said, "Yes, Zhao Guangyi slept with Xiao Zhouhou, but you can't guess how exciting the process was."

Ren Min feigned shyness and said, "Oh, Brother Fan, don't talk about it, it's so embarrassing."

Fan Hongfu liked it even more. The reason he told this joke was to test Ren Min's attitude.

If he accepts, he won't beat around the bush; if he doesn't accept, he won't resort to force.

There are plenty of women in this world; there's no need to get yourself into trouble for one woman.

He continued, "Don't let your imagination run wild, I'm about to get to the important part."

Zhao Guangyi's insistence that Xiao Zhouhou stay overnight in the palace was not simply a matter of sleeping.

There were also some incredible actions.

Otherwise, the famous painting "Emperor Xiling's Visit to Xiao Zhouhou" wouldn't have been leaked.

Ren Min was genuinely curious this time: "What do you mean by that?"

This painting…could it be…that Zhao Guangyi painted while doing *that*, depicting the body of Empress Xiao Zhou?

As a professional, she had seen many men with strange fetishes. Some liked to wear fishnet stockings, while others liked to tear her fishnet stockings but not take them off, leaving her to wear those tattered stockings.

Some people like to kiss her hands, while others like to kiss her feet.

Some people like her to play certain roles, such as a star, a sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, or sister-in-law... all sorts of roles.

But I've never met anyone who paints.

Fan Hongfu shook his head: "Wrong, you guessed wrong."

Ren Min frowned: "What do you mean? Where did this 'Emperor Xiling's Visit to Xiao Zhouhou' painting come from? Who painted it?"

Fan Hongfu moved a little closer to Ren Min and sat down right next to her, so close that he could even hear her breathing.

He smiled and said, "Let me tell you a story to broaden your horizons. When Zhao Guangyi and Xiao Zhouhou were enjoying their time together, he invited the best court painters to paint their portraits."

This is the famous painting, "Emperor Xiling's Visit to Empress Xiao Zhou."
