The wives of the concubines are empresses

She was finally able to eat two bowls of rice with Master Yun while dining with him. Master Yun felt relieved when she saw the emperor's appetite had increased.

"Your Majesty, this dish is quite good, please try it."

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned, leaning against the food in the bowl, and suddenly smiled.

"Thank you, teacher. Please eat more. You have worked hard in managing the school these past few days."

Master Yun was very happy that his efforts were recognized.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You should eat more as we still have things to deal with." He originally wanted to ask about the arrangements for the 10,000 people who were taken away, but seeing that the emperor had a great appetite, he could not bear to disturb him.

Never mind, it will only take a while, there is no need to rush.

After the meal, Shangguan Wanjun felt somewhat puzzled when she saw that Master Yun seemed hesitant to speak.

"Teacher, do you have something to say?"

Taifu Yun said, "I want to ask the Emperor how to arrange for those ten thousand people."

"Have people help build two hundred houses, and take people to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. I want to try growing watermelons and grapes on the other land, and then use some to grow grain to see the effect."

"Your Majesty wants to look at it from multiple perspectives?"

"Yes."

Taifu Yun pondered and said, "That's feasible, but what will the people eat?"

"I personally drew twenty edible wild vegetables and took a group of women with me to look for them. They already know quite a few of them. I also plan to send a royal physician there to teach the people and teach a few more people medicine. This way, the people there will have a place to treat their headaches and fevers, so they won't have to cry out to heaven or earth for help."

The more Taifu Yun listened, the more surprised he became: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Teacher, governing a country is indeed not easy. You have been an official for decades, so I'm afraid you must be a little tired of it."

Taifu Yun smiled slightly and pursed his lips. "How can I put it? Life is always worth living, but if you want to achieve something, it will definitely be very tiring. The emperor has been on the throne for more than a year and has achieved many results. It's quite good."

After all, the emperor is only a fifteen-year-old girl and has only been on the throne for a year. We cannot be too demanding of her.

"Teacher is right, students learn from you." Shangguan Wanjun respectfully performed the etiquette of a student, and Taifu Yun responded with the etiquette of a monarch and his subject.

"Your Majesty, please take a nap. I will be busy this afternoon. I will take my leave now."

"Teacher, go ahead." She should have a good sleep. She was planning to visit her mother and concubine at night. Otherwise, she could just let her mother go to the queen mother's palace, and she could visit them together, which would save time.

Aunt Cheng lit some sleep-inducing lavender incense in the side hall, and Shangguan Wanjun lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to fall into an immersive sleep.

After waking up half an hour later, she stretched her body feeling refreshed and much more comfortable.

The four consorts, Zhoupin - Suzhou Qiao, Yunpin - Zhao Yunfan, Baipin - Jiang Ruobai, and Kangpin - Su Kangqiao, have begun to review and classify memorials in the imperial study.

Seeing the emperor approaching in an orange dress with a white plum blossom pattern, the four of them quickly stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

Shangguan Wanjun, wearing a phoenix hairpin and pearl tassel hairpin, walked lightly towards the desk.

"No courtesy, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lily from the Tea Fragrance Garden came over with a teacup, slightly hunched over as she moved forward.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea!"

Shangguan Wanjun looked up at the blue and white porcelain teacup and reached out to take it.

"Thank you!"

Lily was stunned: She must have heard it wrong just now. The emperor actually said thank you to her?

The four side lords have long been accustomed to it and are not surprised.

Capital

The recovered refugees still have to have their pulse checked by imperial physicians every day.

"Have you been feeling unwell recently?"

The old refugee said, "Doctor, I don't feel anything except hunger."

Doctor Li nodded and continued to take the pulse of the next elderly refugee woman.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Replying to the doctor, it's just that my gums have been bleeding recently, nothing else."

"It's okay, it will be fine after a while." As long as it's not a plague.

After taking the pulse of dozens of people in a row, Doctor Li was exhausted, and the young eunuch beside him reminded him.

"Doctor Li, why don't we take a break for a cup of tea?"

Doctor Li thought about the many people behind him and nodded in agreement. He finally rested for half a cup of tea and then continued.

Other regions

The imperial physicians and doctors took the pulse of everyone entering and leaving the city gate one by one, to prevent anyone carrying the plague from entering and bringing disaster to the capital city that had just returned to peace.

As the Kyoto Commander, he was required to constantly monitor the situation and safety within the capital. Seeing that everyone's pulse had been checked before being allowed into the city, he marveled at the emperor's wisdom.

As the plague gradually subsided, the streets began to be disinfected on a large scale, but the air was still not spared.

To achieve the desired effect, Shangguan Wanjun even went so far as to order the air to be sprayed with white wine for disinfection. For a time, the air in the capital was filled with the aroma of wine, almost intoxicating.

She even spent 5 taels of her personal fortune just to disinfect that part, but no one understood. Some people even criticized her privately, saying that she was sick and wasted money.

Despite this, Shangguan Wanjun just listened and took it lightly. Seeing that she was not angry at all, Liu Cheng and others really couldn't understand it.

Liu Cheng asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you not angry?"

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and smiled: "Why are you angry?"

Liu Cheng was stunned by the question. She spoke lightly, as if she was talking about an interesting story that had nothing to do with her.

"People have mouths and thoughts. I'm just talking about this little thing that doesn't affect state affairs. I won't lose any meat, so why bother?"

Liu Cheng was inexplicably convinced: he felt that what the emperor said made sense.

The four concubines looked at each other, and Shangguan Wanjun had already lowered her head to continue reviewing the memorials.

Under her review, the memorials were placed on the left. Liu Cheng hurried forward to organize them. After all, Minglan was not there, so it was his turn to take over this job.

After more than a year of training, Shangguan Wanjun had become adept at reviewing memorials, but what remained unchanged was that she would argue with people at any time in the memorials.

Throughout the Yuan Dynasty, there were those who were praised by her, those who were criticized by her, and some who experienced both. The ministers also understood that the empress's comments depended entirely on the circumstances at the time, and they had a feeling of both love and hate for her.

She frowned at her hands and wrote a comment, "You are really good at talking. Say more."

The annotation in the next book is again, “Narcissism is a disease and must be treated.”

When she saw the next memorial, she laughed to herself: "It's quite interesting."

Let me comment on him: being ugly is not the most terrible thing. Being ugly and narcissistic makes you invincible.

Liu Cheng accidentally saw the comments and his eyes widened in shock.

Baipin-Jiang Ruobai frowned slightly when she saw it.

What did Eunuch Liu see?

Looking at countless memorials with incoherent sentences, Shangguan Wanjun curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

My dear, with your level, could it be that the scientific examination was fake?

She imagined in her mind what expression the other person would have when he kept nagging and commenting.
