The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 19 The Empress Arranges Affairs

The first to introduce himself was the second son of the Minister of War.

The young man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his every move showed his nobility.

"Your Highness Hu Siyang, sixteen years old, is a student. I currently hold no official position. I enjoy studying various objects and enjoying delicious food."

Another handsome young man, the second son of the Minister of Personnel, said: "I am a humble official, fifteen years old, without any achievements or official positions. I enjoy studying and painting plants."

After hearing his introduction, Shangguan Wanjun had some thoughts in her mind. This person likes to study and paint plants, so he can be cultivated in that direction.

The last one is the only legitimate son of the upright Minister of Justice.

"Your Highness, Liu Haiming, is seventeen years old and holds the title of Scholar. He enjoys studying law."

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned when she heard this. "Oh, you like studying law. Then I guess you are familiar with the laws of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Liu Haiming bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, yes."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled faintly, then stood up and walked down from the high seat.

When everyone saw this, they quickly stood up.

Shangguan Wanjun pointed at someone and said, "Your name is..."

There were too many people, I couldn’t remember them all.

"Minister Hu Siyang."

"Well, since you love food, I will give you the title of Meifei and grant you the residence of Yong'an Palace."

"I thank the Lord for His grace."

"Since you love to plant flowers, I will call you Hui Fei and grant you the residence in Fenghe Palace."

"Since you love to study law, I will name you Consort Lu and grant you the residence of Muyou Palace."

When the two heard the title, their lips twitched slightly. The emperor was really casual.

The three of them bowed respectfully and said, "I obey your command."

Hearing their self-proclaimed names, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Defei Mu Wennian.

"Please explain, Concubine De."

Defei Mu Wennian was stunned at first, but then she understood.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"My three brothers, from now on, except for court officials, when you meet the Emperor, call yourself your husband, and when you meet the Empress Dowager, call yourself your son-in-law."

The three of them understood and bowed as equals.

The Imperial Household Department's Chief Steward Yuan came outside the palace and said, "Please inform him that the Imperial Household Department's Chief Steward Yuan wishes to see the Emperor."

Su Yude hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Household Department's Chief Steward Yuan requests an audience."

Yuan Zongguan of the Imperial Household Department?

"Xuan."

Yuan, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, followed Su Yude respectfully and walked towards the main hall.

"Your servant Yuan Muqing pays respect to His Majesty."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the person kneeling on the ground, but she didn't seem to have much impression of him.

"No need to be polite. I just happened to be here. Please register the concubines."

Yuan, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, was stunned: There’s work as soon as I arrive?

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have a register of nine concubines here. Please review it."

Shangguan Wanjun glanced at him indifferently and also saw the registration book in his hand.

"Eunuch Lin, take this and put it aside."

Eunuch Lin stepped forward and respectfully took it, then put it aside.

At this time, Shangguan Wanjun had returned to sitting on the dragon and phoenix chair.

"All sit down."

The concubines bowed and sat down properly.

Looking at the row of handsome men, Shangguan Wanjun sighed that the food in ancient times was really too good.

"De Fei, since you are from the Engineering Department, please make some daily necessities for me."

De Fei Mu Wennian stood up and saluted: "I wonder what the emperor wants to make."

"A small box, about half a foot long and two-quarters of a foot wide. You can figure out how to hang it on a coffee table or desk. Put a lid on the top that opens. I'll put some paper in it so I can wipe my mouth whenever I want."

Defei Mu Wennian was surprised when he heard this. After listening to the emperor's description, he probably had already imagined it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You'd better write it down yourself. I have several more models. This box is mainly added because the coffee table, desk and other items are already available. If you need to make a coffee table, desk or dining table directly, you can directly install drawers around it for more convenience."

Everyone was stunned. What the emperor said was too good to be true. They had never heard of it before.

Defei Mu Wennian asked someone to bring paper and pen and began to take notes carefully.

"I also want a paper box to put on the table. It would be better if there is a separate box next to it, very close to it, to put toothpicks. No, I still want to put a partition in the middle. I also want to put cotton swabs in it in the future."

Concubine Mei Hu Siyang was stunned: "Your Majesty, what is a cotton swab?"

"Don't interrupt."

Hu Siyang felt a little aggrieved: "Yes."

Seeing that Defei Mu Wennian was confused, Shangguan Wanjun sighed.

"Forget it, I'll just draw it."

Shangguan Wanjun walked straight up to him, took the pen, sat down, and began to draw seriously.

"Hey, do you understand?"

De Fei Mu Wennian took it and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. Thank you for your hard work in drawing it."

The sweet fragrance of the young girl lingered around him, making his ears blush unconsciously.

The careless Shangguan Wanjun didn't notice and continued to think about her little things.

"Oh, and make two more boxes, a round one and a square one. I want to use them to store combs and other items. You'd better have them carved with some patterns around the edges to add some beauty. Make ten of each and send them to me immediately after they're done."

De Fei Mu Wennian bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at her noble brother Gao Zihao again: "I forgot your name. What are your hobbies?"

Gao Zihao's face flushed slightly: "Your Highness Gao Zihao, your Majesty, is interested in reading."

"Gone?"

Gao Zihao didn't know what the emperor meant, so he could only nod awkwardly, "No more."

Shangguan Wanjun pouted: "Can you write a storybook?"

Gao Zihao was stunned: "I don't know how to do it, but I can learn."

After hearing his words, Shangguan Wanjun was slightly satisfied.

"Okay, then write me a notebook about what you'll do when you become an official. Start writing tomorrow when you enter the palace. Use your imagination and strive to become famous throughout the world."

Gao Zihao was startled: "Ah."

"What? You can't do it?" Shangguan Wanjun frowned.

Gao Zihao shook his head and nodded again: "My husband works hard."

Shangguan Wanjun turned around proudly: "That's more like it."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Lin Gongyu again and said, "You don't know how to do anything else. I have to find a way to keep you busy, otherwise you will seem useless."

Lin Gongyu blushed in shock: "Your Majesty, I still have a decent face."

The other five people turned away speechlessly. It was really unbearable to watch.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Mr. Lin felt a burning pain on his face.

"Your Majesty, how about I go fight crickets and cocks to earn some money, and then I'll give it all to you."

Shangguan Wanjun was delighted when she heard this: "Oh, this can make money?"

When watching costume dramas, it seems that people can make money by fighting crickets and cocks.

"Then...you can go to the palace tomorrow and try it out there first. I'll see if it works."

Lin Gongyu patted his chest and said, "I will definitely be able to do it."

The girl smiled slightly, and her dimples were very beautiful, adding a touch of cuteness to her, which made Lin Gongyu swallow his saliva.

This was the first time in his life that he had seen a woman like the emperor. She was gentle, bright and cute, and she was impossible to ignore.

Shangguan Wanjun reached out and patted Lin Gongyu's shoulder, jokingly saying, "I am waiting for my husband to raise me. Don't let me down."

Mr. Lin was completely bewitched by Shangguan Wanjun's smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

The fourth person is the beautiful concubine Hu Siyang. Shangguan Wanjun arranged for him to bring the architectural paintings he had made in the past into the palace and show them to her tomorrow.

The fifth person was Concubine Hui Fengjinghan, who was arranged by Shangguan Wanjun to bring her own plants and plant paintings into the palace for her to see.

The last one was Liu Haiming, Shangguan Wanjun looked at him.

"My beloved concubine, please categorize all the laws. I will ask you when I have time."

Everyone observed a moment of silence for him.
