The wives of the concubines are empresses

After washing and changing clothes, the two of them came to the bedroom to stay up until the end of the year.

"Does my husband always stay up all night to celebrate the New Year?"

De Fei~Mu Wennian shook his head: "Occasionally."

Shangguan Wanjun was very interested in the New Year's Eve celebrations of this era.

"How did my husband keep New Year's Eve in previous years?"

"Sometimes I accompany my parents, and sometimes I go back to the courtyard alone. Where is the emperor?"

Faced with his question, Shangguan Wanjun was stunned.

In her memories of her previous life, she remembered that she usually did not stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

As for my predecessor, it seems that I have never had the experience of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year in the deepest part of my memory.

"I don't think I've ever observed a New Year's Eve. Not even when my mother was of a lower rank. Even after I was brought back to Fengyi Palace and raised by my mother, she never observed a New Year's Eve with me. As for my father, I'm afraid he only has eyes for those beautiful concubines and never for a daughter like me."

Hearing the emperor's calm narration, Defei~Mu Wennian's heart was inexplicably hurt.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you this."

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head: "Ignorance is not a crime. Besides, the past is just a thing of the past. My father has passed away. There is no point in pursuing it.

From now on, I only hope that I can treat my future children equally and show them more care."

De Fei~Mu Wennian nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, I think you will be a good mother."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and said, "But I have so much to do. I am not only the mother of my future children, but also the mother of everyone in the world. This path is ultimately difficult."

It was so difficult that sometimes she could hardly hold on.

Defei~Mu Wennian embraced Shangguan Wanjun in his arms again and patted her back gently.

With his comfort, Shangguan Wanjun fell asleep unknowingly.

Hearing the light snoring coming from her arms, Defei~Mu Wennian was completely stunned, and then smiled indulgently.

He bent down and stood up, holding Shangguan Wanjun in his arms.

Shangguan Wanjun was still sleeping soundly until she was gently placed on the bed, with no signs of waking up.

Defei~Mu Wen sighed young, hugged the soft girl, closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep.

When he got up, he saw Sha Jiao sleeping soundly beside him, so he did not wake her up.

Heavy snow began to fall from the sky. Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi had already woken up in Yongkang Palace and was even dressed.

Seeing that it had been dawn for a long time, Concubine De-Mu Wennian woke up the sleeping person.

"Your Majesty, it's time to wake up."

"emperor……"

Shangguan Wanjun woke up and found herself lying in Defei's arms.

"Its daybreak?"

De Fei - Mu Wennian nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty should accompany Concubine Wen back to the palace."

Shangguan Wanjun propped herself up and let everyone help her change clothes, wash and put on makeup.

Shangguan Wanjun, dressed in purple, enjoyed breakfast with Concubine De - Mu Wennian.

At this time, Liu Cheng had already arrived at Yongkang Palace to inform Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi, to gather at the palace gate.

Looking at the slender figure standing at the gate of Kang Palace, Shangguan Wanjun smiled at Concubine De - Mu Wennian.

"It's snowing heavily outside, please go in quickly, my dear."

Concubine De-Mu Wennian sincerely advised: "Your Majesty, please be careful on your journey."

Shangguan Wanjun waved her hand: "Okay, I'll leave first."

At the palace gate, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi was waiting here in the concubine's carriage.

Looking at the heavy snow, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi looked up at the white sky.

"Chen Lie, you have sent someone back to inform the government, right?"

Chen Lie bowed and said, "Yes, my Lord. Don't worry."

"okay."

The sound of a carriage rang out in the quiet snow, and three horses were pulling a luxurious carriage.

Lianhua lifted a corner of the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen's carriage is over there."

The two carriages met, and Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi and Shangguan Wanjun lifted a corner of the curtain at the same time.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

"No need to be polite, my dear. Let's ride in the same carriage together."

Concubine Wen, Bai Xuanyi, cupped her hands and said happily, "Yes."

Prime Minister's Mansion

The Right Prime Minister, his wife and others had already been waiting in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The elegant and graceful woman asked, "Master, will the Emperor really come to the palace today?"

The Right Prime Minister was unsure: "Yier wouldn't joke about this."

The eldest son, Bai Xuanyin, looked at his father and said, "Father, my sixth brother wouldn't let anyone report it without authorization."

Like the gentle and graceful willow leaves of a Jiangnan woman, she is Bai Xuanyin’s wife, Liu Ye, who had just married a few months ago.

At this moment, she echoed her mother-in-law's words.

"Mother, my husband is right."

The Prime Minister's wife patted her hand that was supporting her, and continued to look up at the entrance.

The sounds of horse hooves and wheels rang out, and Shangguan Wanjun closed her eyes and rested the whole time.

Ever since she woke up, perhaps because she was too relaxed, she had been feeling sleepy until the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence.

"Your Majesty, we're here." Liu Cheng spoke while holding the whisk.

The masters and servants of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion looked over here. Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi got off the carriage first, and then stretched out her broad and warm right hand.

"emperor."

At this time, everyone from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion had already arrived beside the carriage.

"See your Majesty, long live my Emperor."

Shangguan Wanjun stopped and raised her right hand slightly.

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Ye was stunned when she saw the gentle and dignified empress: Is the emperor so gentle and bright?

As far as she knew, the new emperor was also a capable woman. In just a few months, she had already established a firm foothold in the court and should not be underestimated.

Bai Xuanyin looked at the golden boy and jade girl's brother and the empress, and was stunned for a moment.

Is that the emperor?

My sixth brother and I feel like a loving young couple, without any imperial airs or majesty at all.

The smile on the Prime Minister's wife's face was extremely gentle and appropriate. It was a great honor that the Empress actually came to their Prime Minister's Mansion on New Year's Day.

The Right Prime Minister led the way enthusiastically, and Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi held Shangguan Wanjun's hand all the way into the mansion and all the way to the main hall.

Shangguan Wanjun sat in the main seat with the Right Prime Minister, which made the Right Prime Minister feel quite satisfied and proud.

His sixth son and daughter-in-law are the emperor, and now she has come to the Prime Minister's residence in person on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This is a great honor.

"Your Majesty, this is the wife of this old minister, Luo, and that is the legitimate son, Bai Xuanyin, the second child."

The two men stood up and saluted in turn.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded generously.

"This is my second son's wife, Liu, who is three months pregnant."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled gently: "Congratulations."

……

Shangguan Wanjun sighed in her heart at the population of the princes and nobles. The right prime minister had a large family, especially males.

It was still very cold on the first day of the Lunar New Year, not suitable for strolling around the courtyard, so everyone went straight to lunch after introducing themselves in the main hall.

The lunch at the Prime Minister's Mansion was very sumptuous. There were thirty dishes on the table, and each dish had its mistakes.

Shangguan Wanjun marveled at the high-level reception at the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when she thought of her own status, she felt that she was fully worthy of it.

"Your Majesty, please have your meal."

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Let's all have our meal."

After she started eating, everyone picked up their chopsticks one by one.
