The wives of the concubines are empresses

The Minister of Rites and the Minister of Revenue, as male guests, led the bride and groom as they performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows, paying homage to heaven and earth, ancestors, and parents.

Because Shangguan Wanjun was holding a round fan and could not hold the two red ropes, Lianhua Muxiang was arranged in advance to stand behind her on both sides and hold the ropes for her.

The Minister of Rites loudly announced, "Husband and wife bow to each other."

The three of them bent down, and Concubine Wenwu bent lower than Shangguan Wanjun because they were ministers.

Even the empress's husbands were subjects.

The Minister of Rites saw them stand up and said, "The ceremony is over!"

"Enter the bridal chamber!"

The empress's wedding chamber was naturally in the Dragon Bedroom. After all, there were two concubines, so it was more convenient this way.

Shangguan Wanjun turned around and left first, and the court ladies, palace maids, eunuchs and guards followed.

After Shangguan Wanjun got on the dragon chariot, the two grooms, under the guidance of the officials from the Ministry of Rites, turned around and walked towards their own sedan chairs.

In front is Shangguan Wanjun's dragon sedan chair, and behind it are the sedan chairs of the civil and military concubines.

Shangguan Wanjun made special arrangements, and all departments dared not disobey at the wedding.

When the imperial carriage arrived at the Dragon's Bedroom, Lianhua and Aunt Cheng helped her get out of the sedan chair.

Shangguan Wanjun walked into the hall holding a pearl fan, followed closely by the two imperial concubines.

When Shangguan Wanjun stepped over the saddle, the eunuchs hurriedly took it away.

On the day of the wedding, Concubine Wen did not make much trouble, and the whole process seemed to go smoothly.

Aunt Lianhua Cheng helped Shangguan Wanjun sit on the wedding couch.

Shangguan Wanjun sat down, secretly delighted that she could finally sit down, but she did not show it on her face.

When it came to drinking the Hehuan wine, everyone felt a little puzzled, as no one seemed to have thought of this step.

Aunt Cheng, Eunuch Lin, Lianhua Muxiang, and Ouhe looked at each other, and there was anxiety and fear in everyone's eyes.

Seeing that there was no movement, Shangguan Wanjun put down her pearl fan in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Aunt Cheng replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, this wedding wine..."

Shangguan Wanjun shuddered: She had actually forgotten about this.

"Pour some of the two concubines' wine into my cup, and then the three of us can clink our glasses."

Everyone was delighted and immediately did as they were told.

Concubine Wu raised her eyes and looked at the gentle, pretty and bright girl, admiring her ability to respond quickly.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Aunt Cheng carefully poured some of the concubines' wine into the emperor's cup.

"Your Majesty, concubines, please drink!" Since there was no clinking of cups, she just changed to drinking.

Shangguan Wanjun was very satisfied with Aunt Cheng's behavior and drank the wine in the glass with a faint smile.

"Quick, take off all the headdresses for me, they are giving me a headache."

When Aunt Cheng heard this, she quickly helped the emperor up and walked to the dressing table.

The imperial concubines Wenwu and Guifei stayed where they were, staring at each other in amazement.

When Lianhua Muxiang was about to take it off, Aunt Cheng whispered in Shangguan Wanjun's ear.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Aunt Cheng with admiration.

"Makes sense."

Seeing the emperor's eyes, Aunt Cheng turned around and saluted respectfully to the two concubines.

"Noble Consort Wen, Noble Consort Wu, please help the Emperor remove his jewelry."

When Concubine Wen heard this, she hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, then I will begin to unload."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly.

Concubine Wu stepped forward, smiled and bowed to her, and began to carefully remove her beaded slits and other head ornaments.

The two of them put the items into the corresponding boxes according to Aunt Cheng's whispered instructions.

The headdress was quickly removed, and Concubine Wen reached out and carefully removed the emperor's necklace. Seeing her fair and slender neck, he swallowed.

Concubine Wu lifted the emperor's wrist with one hand and took off the jade bracelet in her hand with the other.

After taking off all the jewelry, Shangguan Wanjun felt like she was alive again.

"It's really not easy. I need to change clothes." I felt very sticky all over.

Eunuch Lin had already arranged for someone to prepare it. "Your Majesty, the hot spring pool is ready."

Shangguan Wanjun was delighted. "Really?"

Seeing Eunuch Lin nod, Shangguan Wanjun immediately stood up.

"Then leave quickly."

Lianhua said, "Your Majesty, you haven't taken off your clothes yet."

Seeing the heavy layers of clothes on her body, Shangguan Wanjun felt a headache.

"Okay, undress for me."

When Mu Xiang was about to start, Aunt Cheng said again, "Your Majesty, how about letting the two concubines come?"

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned: It feels a bit embarrassing to ask them for help.

When Concubine Wen heard this, she said happily, "Your Majesty, please let the ministers come."

Although Concubine Wu didn't say anything, she looked up at her.

"alright."

Shangguan Wanjun stretched out her arms, and Concubine Wen immediately stepped forward to take off her coat.

Concubine Wu walked up to her and helped her take off the dragon and phoenix skirt from under her horse.

When she felt relaxed, Shangguan Wanjun walked straight towards the hot spring pool.

Three meters away from the entrance of the hot spring pool is a double-sided screen embroidered with dragons and phoenixes.

Shangguan Wanjun was delighted to see the steaming hot spring.

“This one is definitely comfortable.”

Eunuch Lin was waiting in the outer hall, accompanied by Aunt Cheng and others.

"Your Majesty, this hot spring is very comfortable. Please take a bath and relax."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded, walked straight to the edge of the pool, and took off her gauze coat with both hands.

The imperial concubines behind him were all staring with their eyes wide open.

The beauty's graceful figure, delicate skin, slender legs, and long black hair falling to her waist filled their minds.

Even someone as restrained as Concubine Wu still had her Adam's apple rolling.

Shangguan Wanjun completely forgot about the two of them and happily soaked in the hot spring. She walked to the center, and her cheerful, pleasant and graceful voice echoed in the hot spring hall.

It feels so comfortable, she wants to have a good soak.

Today is both the enthronement ceremony and the wedding, and as one of the parties involved, she is extremely tired.

Shangguan Wanjun turned around unintentionally and saw two men standing by the pool. She stared at them with wide eyes.

"Why are you... here?"

Concubine Wen was at a loss for words, so Concubine Wu respectfully said, "Serve the Emperor with his bath."

When Concubine Wen heard this, she immediately realized, "Yes, the ministers are here to help the emperor take a bath."

Aunt Cheng and others were shocked: They forgot about the two concubines, Concubine Wen and Concubine Wu. Will the emperor be furious?

Shangguan Wanjun was petrified for a moment, but with her extensive martial arts experience, she quickly realized that she was now the empress, and these things were inevitable in the future, so she might as well try to slowly accept them.

"Okay...come here then."

The two of them stepped forward obediently, and at Shangguan Wanjun's instruction, Concubine Wen applied scented soap to her, and Concubine Wu rubbed her back.

The two men looked at the girl's snow-white skin and felt excited all over.

Concubine Wu's movements were gentle, making Shangguan Wanjun, who was lying on the jade, feel very comfortable. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it.

"Your Majesty, the back rub is done."

Hearing the young man's cold voice, Shangguan Wanjun opened her eyes and looked up. She was stunned by the young man's handsome and elegant face.

When Concubine Wen saw that the emperor had woken up, she pushed Concubine Wu away with a clean bath towel.

"Your Majesty, let me scrub your back."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly and lay quietly, like a gentle and cool sleeping beauty.

When she was relaxed and ready to leave the pool, she was stunned to find the two grown men still there.
