The wives of the concubines are empresses

The night is long, especially the long night in the deep palace.

Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi tossed and turned, and finally suffered from insomnia.

Thinking of the newcomer to the palace, Lan Dajun - Lan Naxin, he knew that new people would continue to enter the palace, and he could do nothing about it. Perhaps the emperor was also helpless.

It seems that the emperor, who had just ascended the throne, was forced by his ministers to choose a concubine within half a month. He was so angry that he chose the concubine who represented the civil and military affairs, that is, him and Concubine Wu - propaganda style.

Later, she selected six concubines and nine imperial concubines to enter the palace, and they happened to be the children of aristocratic families from the six ministries and nine officials.

He remembered that when he first learned that the emperor was going to host a banquet for the Nan Shaoan generals who had returned from the expedition, he got drunk that night.

At that time, he knew that he was the one who fell in love first. All of this happened because of the circumstances, and none of them could control their own behavior.

To this day, he is even quite lucky. He is lucky that his elder brother is engaged and lucky that he himself is not engaged, so the emperor was chosen to enter the palace.

Due to insomnia, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi fell asleep in the middle of the night, and naturally woke up with black eyes the next day.

Chen Lie was shocked when he saw the appearance of his concubine: "Concubine, did you steal a cow last night?"

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi glared at him fiercely: "If you can't speak, then shut your mouth."

Chen Lie immediately shut his mouth when he heard it. Seeing him shut his mouth, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi gave him a look and stood up and walked to the middle to stand.

Chen Lie silently changed his clothes and washed him, and finally combed his hair and put on the jade crown for him.

Looking at himself looking clean and refreshed, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi was quite satisfied. The only flaw was the dark circles under his eyes.

After enduring the court meeting and finishing the morning court of the new day, Shangguan Wanjun rode the imperial carriage back to the imperial study.

Master Yun was waiting in the study after two quarters of an hour, and Shangguan Wanjun had already rested well by then.

Shangguan Wanjun's courses today include "Zizhi Tongjian", "Emperor Fan Min Er 1 Du He Lu Wo", and "Imperial Studies".

Master Yun wanted to teach her all the knowledge he had learned, but Shangguan Wanjun said she was tired.

After the class, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Master Yun meaningfully.

"Teacher, I think you are being a little too hasty."

Master Yun was confused by her sudden question.

"What does your Majesty mean by this?"

"I feel like you've been putting too much pressure on yourself lately?" She actually wanted to say that he was putting too much pressure on her.

Taifu Yun suddenly understood: "Your Majesty, is this old minister teaching too much at once?"

Shangguan Wanjun said politely, "Not bad."

After she left, Master Yun was stunned and thought for a long time. Could it be that he had taught too much at once?

This question remained in his mind until he returned home after dinner, when the Grand Tutor's wife noticed something was wrong with him.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Madam, I feel like I've been putting too much pressure on the Emperor lately."

Madam Taifu was stunned: "Where did you get this from, Master?"

"The emperor asked me today if I have been putting too much pressure on myself recently." He had been thinking about this question all day.

Madam Taifu sighed, "You are a bit too impatient and eager to succeed."

It has to be said that as an outsider, Mrs. Taifu has a clearer view.

The question that had been lingering in my mind seemed to be solved by my wife all of a sudden.

"Madam, you are truly wise but appear foolish. It is I who have gotten myself into this mess. Acting too hastily can easily lead to more harm than good."

Seeing that her master understood, Madam Taifu felt relieved.

"Master, this is just too much worry."

Taifu Yun laughed heartily and stroked his beard, "Madam, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

The Grand Tutor's wife smiled gently, and the three daughters-in-law smiled at each other.

Shangguan Wanjun was walking on the sunny palace road when she saw Leng Shuxiang, who was holding her belly.

"This common woman pays respect to His Majesty."

Looking at her big belly, Shangguan Wanjun didn't know what she was thinking.

"No gift."

Leng Shuxiang supported her stomach and stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It was August, right?" She seemed to remember.

Leng Shuxiang said, "It's almost September."

When I think about the first time I met her, she was still five months pregnant. Now it’s almost nine months. Time flies.

"Try to walk around the yard later, otherwise it will be inconvenient if something happens because the distance is too far."

Leng Shuxiang pursed her lips and nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reminder."

"The weather is nice today, let's go sit in the pavilion over there."

Leng Shuxiang looked in that direction, then nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Minglan helped Shangguan Wanjun sit down, and Youyou helped Leng Shuxiang sit down. Looking at her big belly, Shangguan Wanjun's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Are you tired now?"

Seeing the emperor asking with curiosity, Leng Shuxiang also felt a little shy.

"Yes, a little. After all, my belly is so big."

Shangguan Wanjun thought about what she had heard others say about fetal movements, and she became very curious about it.

"Does the baby usually kick you?"

Leng Shuxiang gently stroked her belly: "Yes."

Shangguan Wanjun reached out carefully and touched Leng Shuxiang's round pregnant belly.

"Life is indeed magical. Can I listen to the fetal movement?" She had never heard the fetal movement before.

Leng Shuxiang was stunned, and Minglan, Liucheng and others were all stunned.

"If the emperor doesn't mind, I am willing to do it."

After getting permission, Shangguan Wanjun leaned over to her belly, put her ear on it, and listened gently.

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming returned to the palace to get something and passed by this place. He happened to see Shangguan Wanjun listening gently and carefully to the fetal movement. He was stunned for a moment.

The emperor's expression is so gentle.

After listening for a while, Shangguan Wanjun felt that there was nothing special, so she sat up straight.

"Stretch out your hand, let me take your pulse." Leng Shuxiang was stunned. Although she had heard rumors that the emperor was reading medical books, she didn't know that the emperor could also take pulses.

However, she still reached out obediently, and Shangguan Wanjun gently placed her jade fingers on her pulse. Everyone was silent, afraid to affect her movements.

After half a cup of tea, Shangguan Wanjun put down her jade hand.

"Let me see your tongue and eyes."

Shangguan Wanjun concluded, "She's resting well, and her pulse is strong. It seems the baby is very happy."

Leng Shuxiang didn't know whether the emperor's diagnosis was true or not, but she was also very happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's getting late. You're almost due. Try to move around in the yard. Walking around before delivery will help with the birth and save you some pain."

Leng Shuxiang nodded slightly: "Yes, I will follow the emperor's instructions."

Seeing her holding her big belly and being helped back by Youyou, Shangguan Wanjun felt that her back was so lonely.

She is also a difficult woman. If she can take care of others, she should try her best to do so.

Shangguan Wanjun looked away, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the hem of the man's official uniform. She had a vague idea of ​​who he was. However, since he hadn't appeared, she didn't take the initiative to expose him. Some things didn't need to be entangled.

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming did not say goodbye to Shangguan Wanjun after all, and left the palace directly to continue her duty.
