The wives of the concubines are empresses

Defei Mu Wennian was a little confused when she saw the emperor was silent.

He was thinking: When did the emperor change, or was he still bothered by what happened yesterday?

Minglan had been standing respectfully, and suddenly she saw the sitting empress suddenly stand up, and she was full of confusion.

"I'll go and take a look." She wanted to see how many good things the Wan family had, so that she could have a deep understanding of the family background of those ministers.

Concubine De - Mu Wennian cupped her hands: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Arriving at the treasury, Shangguan Wanjun looked at the gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and even silks and satins confiscated from the Wan family...

Concubine De-Mu Wennian took out a small nanmu box and presented it respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this is the Wan family's house deed, land deed, and mountain deed."

Shangguan Wanjun opened the lid, picked up a few and looked at them.

"There are quite a few fixed assets." After seeing this, she had a rough idea.

"Defei, let's go back and have dinner." Man is iron and rice is steel, and he will feel hungry if he doesn't eat a meal.

She must always maintain sufficient energy and vitality so that she can have more energy to deal with various emergencies.

At the dinner table, Shangguan Wanjun ate without talking, a rare occurrence. She didn't even say a word to Defei Mu Wennian, which surprised Defei Mu Wennian.

The emperor was indeed acting strangely today. During his nap, the two of them lay on the same bed, and Shangguan Wanjun had not said a word yet.

He looked at the person lying flat on her back with her eyes closed, and could even see her long eyelashes.

Your Majesty, what are you really thinking? They have been together for more than half a year, yet you never thought that you know so little about Your Majesty.

In the dream, Shangguan Wanjun was tormented by nightmares, her head shaking from side to side. Defei Mu Wennian was woken up and saw her frowning slightly.

"Your Majesty..." The Emperor must be having a nightmare.

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly opened her eyes, and the bloody scene in her dream seemed real. She saw the figure of Concubine De - Mu Wennian, and was obviously stunned. Why was he here?

"Why are you here?"

De Fei - Mu Wennian sighed: "Your Majesty, I will have lunch with you when I return to the palace today to report the emperor's order. Have you forgotten?"

What kind of scene was this dream that made the emperor forget his existence today?

Recalling the previous memories, Shangguan Wanjun fell silent, and her shoulders suddenly relaxed, like a deflated doll.

"Your Majesty, what happened to you?"

Shangguan Wanjun wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve. "I dreamed that the people were eating their own children, and even... corpses."

It was too horrifying. She had only seen an introduction to it through online videos in her previous life, but had never seen it with her own eyes.

Exchanging children for food?

How serious must the situation be for such a tragic thing to happen?

Upon hearing this, Defei Mu Wennian took her into his arms.

"Your Majesty, these are just dreams. It's okay. They say dreams are the opposite of reality." He gently patted the back of the person in his arms, trying to calm her down.

But Shangguan Wanjun could no longer sleep. She felt that the scene in her dream was too real, and she had a premonition that many unexpected things might really happen in the near future, and they would not be particularly good things.

Women's sixth sense is always accurate, but they are easily misled by emotions.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wanjun became more determined to quickly train more people of her own, whether men or women, the more the better.

This afternoon, Concubine De, Mu Wennian, received special permission from Shangguan Wanjun and did not need to return to the Ministry of Works for duty. He simply stayed in the Imperial Study to help review and classify memorials.

After reviewing one memorial after another, Shangguan Wanjun suddenly looked up.

"Lianhua, how are the things I asked you to prepare?"

Lianhua looked up at Concubine De, stepped forward and whispered in her ear.

"Your Majesty, you have ordered your servants to prepare a large amount of mugwort, medicinal herbs, wild vegetables, vegetables, meat, etc., and this has been ongoing. According to current statistics, it can roughly supply the imperial palace and the capital for a year."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun smiled with satisfaction, which was also her first smile in the past two days.

"Okay, continue."

Lianhua nodded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Defei Mu Wennian had been carefully reviewing the classified memorials, and at the same time trying to listen to the conversation between the master and servant, but his hearing was poor and he didn't hear anything.

Shangguan Wanjun, who was a little tired, frowned slightly and rubbed her eyebrows with a little annoyance.

As soon as Liuli saw him, she leaned forward and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need a hand massage from me?"

"Alright."

Liuli stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you think this force is appropriate?"

Shangguan Wanjun closed her eyes and enjoyed a moment of relaxation: "Yes, Liuli has been with me for how long?"

"Your Majesty, as soon as I entered the palace and completed my training, I was assigned to the Imperial Palace and have been here ever since, which is about ten years." She and the emperor have been master and servant since childhood.

"Then you are sixteen." He has been with her for ten years. How many decades are there in a lifetime?

Liuli smiled gently: "Yes, I am sixteen years old."

"Little Liuzi, I hereby convey my order. Liuli has served me wholeheartedly and tirelessly for many years. I hereby appoint her as a ninth-rank female official, in charge of all my clothing."

Liu Cheng was stunned: Why does the emperor suddenly want to promote Liuli?

"Yes, Your Majesty." He looked at Liuli still in a daze, feeling a little disappointed.

"Liuli, why don't you thank the emperor quickly?"

Liuli realized it later and quickly let go and knelt down to express her gratitude: "Your servant thanks the emperor."

Was she promoted by the emperor?

Shangguan Wanjun smiled slightly: "This is what you deserve. Get up quickly. From now on, you should call yourself a servant."

Liuli said happily, "Yes, I thank you for your grace."

Aunt Cheng was genuinely happy for her and smiled at her.

"aunt."

Aunt Cheng was startled and quickly put away the smile on her face and responded.

"Your Majesty, I'm here. Please wait a moment. Xiao Liuzi, please have someone hurry up and summon the top three candidates to the palace." A new batch of talents should be put to use. We will know who can be reused after a few tries.

Liu Cheng was stunned: This is the first time the emperor has summoned us.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Seeing the handkerchief around her waist, Shangguan Wanjun remembered that it was a gift from Concubine Wu's mother, and it was custom-made at the Jiahe Xiangjun shop. Thinking of the Jiahe Xiangjun she had personally conferred, Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and raised her eyes.

"Xiao Dezi, send a guard to convey my oral order and summon the Lord of Jiahe to the palace to accompany me."

Su Yude bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Defei - Mu Wennian was completely confused at this moment. Not only did the emperor summon the top three candidates in the imperial examination to the palace, but why did he also summon Jiahe Xiangjun? This seemed strange.

Sun Yufei, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Zhengyang, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Liu Qingshu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, were stunned when they heard that the emperor had summoned them.

The three of them followed Liu Cheng to the outside of the imperial study. Liu Cheng glanced at the three of them and spoke.

"My three lords, please wait a moment while I go in and report to the Emperor."

The three of them nodded slightly.

Hearing footsteps, Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and saw Liu Cheng returning, and opened her red lips slightly.

"People are here?"

"Your Majesty, yes, the three gentlemen are waiting outside the palace."

"Xuan."

Liu Cheng said respectfully, "Yes. Summon Master Sun, Master Zhang, and Master Liu from the Hanlin Academy to see you!"
