The wives of the concubines are empresses

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned when she saw the snow-white jade cat.

"For me?" But this cat is quite cute and it is still small now, so why don't she keep it? Playing with the kitten when she has nothing to do can add some fun to her busy life.

"Yes, Your Majesty doesn't want it?" Concubine Wen-Li Youwen asked back.

"Stay." It's nice to play with cats when you have nothing to do. Besides, she doesn't mind keeping cats.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian, Lin Gongyu, was filled with jealousy and said in a sour tone, "Your Majesty, you are partial to one and not the other. I, your humble servant, refused the bird I gave you before, but you took Concubine Wen's cat."

He was angry, very angry.

The concubines lowered their heads in embarrassment. The emperor hoped that he would not vent his anger on them.

Shangguan Wanjun smiled slightly after hearing this and took the jade cat from Liu Mingcheng's arms.

"Didn't I say I could go to your palace to watch the birds anytime?" Seeing that he was still angry, Shangguan Wanjun shook her head and laughed, then turned to tease the cat.

"Bai Xue, he's so petty, he's jealous of a little kitty like you."

When the virtuous concubine Lin Gongyu heard this, she was furious: "Who is jealous of her?"

Is he jealous?

He was angry, very angry.

Concubine Wen-Li Youwen felt that he was too embarrassed to watch and started talking directly to Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, did you name it Bai Xue? Isn't this just the reverse order of your husband's name, Xue Bai?"

The emperor is so cute.

Shangguan Wanjun said proudly: "You don't accept it? If you don't accept it, just hold it in."

Hui Fei - Feng Jinghan couldn't help laughing out loud, and everyone looked at him sideways. He was stunned and quickly stopped laughing and apologized.

"Your Majesty, I have been disrespectful in front of you. Please punish me."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and said, "Be careful next time. What do you think of the name I chose?"

Concubine Hui - Feng Jinghan pondered for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "Bright as snow, what a good name."

Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but caress Bai Xue, her voice so gentle that it could make water drip out.

"Bai Xue, did you hear that? Concubine Hui said your name is very nice. You should get used to it slowly." None of the concubines had ever seen her gentle side towards animals. They found it very novel. It turned out that the emperor was also a woman who loved animals.

Shangguan Wanjun carried Bai Xue to the desk and sat down, then placed Bai Xue on the desk.

"Let's get on with our business."

The attendants bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

With Bai Xue, Shangguan Wanjun would always glance at it vaguely when she was handling memorials.

Concubine Wen - Li Youwen, like Shangguan Wanjun, placed the snow-white book on the desk and began to sort some memorials.

Time passed little by little. After Shangguan Wanjun finished dealing with the memorials, she left behind Concubine Wen - Li Youwen. The other concubines all stood up, bowed and took their leave.

After leaving the imperial study, Concubine Xian - Lin Gongyu was furious.

"This Concubine Wen is really good at tricks. She managed to stay here with just a cat." The main thing is that the emperor is really... Oh, he was so angry.

Hui Fei-Feng Jinghan laughed: "What are you afraid of? Don't you have a talking parrot and crickets?"

Xianfei-Lin Gongyu felt that he was mocking him: "Hui Fei, are you mocking me?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yunpin-Zhao Yunfan hurriedly spoke out to mediate and comfort.

"Alright, Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian should refrain from arguing, lest the Emperor hear of it."

Xian Fei - Lord Lin snorted coldly: "I want you to mind your own business."

He walked away with his head held high, leaving Concubine Yun - Zhao Yunfan stunned.

"You..." He was so angry. This virtuous concubine might be sick. It wasn't him who made her angry, so why was she so angry at him?

Concubine Hui - Feng Jinghan hurriedly spoke out to comfort her: "Don't be angry, Concubine Xian is just a child, it's not worth it to be angry, but I still thank you for speaking up for me just now."

Concubine Yun - Zhao Yunfan smiled faintly and said: "We are all brothers in the harem, and we are all the emperor's husbands. If we have conflicts among ourselves, it will also make it difficult for the emperor."

Concubine Hui-Feng Jinghan nodded in agreement: "You are right. If you don't mind, come to my Fenghe Palace and have a seat?"

"Since Concubine Hui has invited me so kindly, there is no reason for me to refuse. I will go to your palace and stay for a while."

The eunuchs have reported to Shangguan Wanjun what happened outside.

Concubine Wen - Li Youwen sat quietly, and after listening to the report, he spoke with a look of self-blame on his face.

"Your Majesty, I really just want to give you a cat. I don't mean to win your favor." Although he also wanted the emperor to remember him more, it was definitely not what the virtuous concubine thought.

Listening to him defending himself, Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and smiled.

"Why are you so anxious? I didn't say anything to you. Even if you are competing for favor, that is normal and inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Wen-Li Youwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"It is good enough that Your Majesty trusts me."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled faintly and said, "I only have one. You will feel a little wronged in guarding me from now on. It is inevitable that you will try to win my favor. It is true and normal. As long as it does not offend anyone, I will not be angry."

She considered the occasional little quarrels as a form of fun.

After hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Wen-Li Youwen laughed to herself.

"Your Majesty, we should go to dinner. Let's walk back to the Dragon Palace later."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled coquettishly: "Okay, Xiao Liuzi, serve the meal. It's time for Minglan to go back from her shift."

Minglan bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly and watched her leave.

Under the blue sky is the moon hanging high in the sky, and there are countless stars.

Shangguan Wanjun chose to dine under the eaves, where she could enjoy the moon and stars, which was a pleasant way to dine.

"This is my first time dining under the moonlight. It's quite novel."

"I think it's good to discover the beauty in life by yourself."

Lianhua held Baixue and teased it from time to time. After spending some time together, Baixue no longer resisted her, but instead rubbed its head against her.

On the palace roads on both sides of the palace walls, Shangguan Wanjun's ceremonial guards followed behind her, and there were eunuchs in front of her holding lanterns to light the way. Her figures and those of Concubine Wen - Li Youwen were stretched out very long.

The two walked side by side, Wenbin-Li Youwen lagged behind her half a step, feeling the gentle breeze of the night, both of them felt very calm in their hearts.

Li Youwen, the concubine of Wen, who had never done this with a woman before, actually liked this kind of quiet time together.

"Your Majesty, time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, I have been in the palace for more than half a year."

Shangguan Wanjun echoed the sentiment: "It's quite fast."

Queen Mother Xigong stood by the window, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, her heart filled with loneliness.

The prince's throne is now secure, but he is becoming increasingly busy. She hasn't seen him for a long time.

It was already dawn, and the Empress Dowager Xigong, who was dressing up, was startled when she saw the palace maid rushing in.

"Why are you so panicked? This is so disgraceful."

The palace maid's name was Yingchun. When she heard her words, she knelt down in fear.

"Please calm down, Empress Dowager. It's the Emperor and Concubine Wen who are here to have breakfast with you."

The Empress Dowager Xigong was stunned with a slightly angry expression: "The emperor is here?"

Yingchun said respectfully, "Yes."

"Xia Ling, please hurry up and don't make the emperor wait too long."

Xia Ling said very respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty the Queen Mother."
