The wives of the concubines are empresses

After the court session, Shangguan Wanjun returned to the imperial study to rest for fifteen minutes. Only when Tutor Yun came to the study did they start the class.

"Your Majesty, I see you don't look well. How about we learn less today?"

Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and said, "Teacher, no need. I can still bear it."

Seeing this, Grand Tutor Yun didn't know what to say: "Okay then."

Shangguan Wanjun attended classes seriously and would ask questions to Master Yun from time to time. Master Yun was very patient in answering her questions.

"Your Majesty's checks and balances on all parties over the past year are so great that it's no exaggeration to say that he surpassed Emperor Taizu."

Hearing such high evaluation from the teacher, Shangguan Wanjun smiled slightly.

"The students thank you for your recognition, teacher. It is also due to your good teaching."

Taifu Yun waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty is so polite and modest. I don't deserve it."

He only taught the emperor some knowledge, and could only provide some advice on the checks and balances among the various parties, but he did not actually help much.

"Teacher, you are too modest." Without this elderly tutor as her teacher, she would not have made such rapid progress.

After finishing today's class, Shangguan Wanjun bowed and said goodbye to Master Yun.

"Teacher, I'm leaving."

Because of the difference between the monarch and his subjects, Taifu Yun returned the gift with a more humble attitude than Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, please go ahead."

After returning to the main hall, Shangguan Wanjun felt sore all over.

"Liuli, please massage my arms and shoulders." During my period, I feel tired all the time.

Women are born weak. If they don't take good care of themselves, their lives will be as dark as the sun.

The strength of the glass becomes more and more perfect with frequent kneading.

"Your Majesty, is the strength appropriate?"

Shangguan Wanjun closed her eyes and enjoyed it: "Not bad, thank you for kneading it for a while longer."

Liuli was deeply touched when she heard the emperor's polite words.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. This is what a servant of yours should do." She was just an ordinary person, unlike those female officials and eunuchs. She relied on her kneading skills to make the emperor remember her and gain a firm foothold beside the emperor.

Liu Cheng checked the time and said, "Your Majesty, is the meal served now?"

Shangguan Wanjun closed her eyes and waved: "Okay."

Women feel very uncomfortable on the first two days of their period, and also suffer from dysmenorrhea. It is really difficult to be a woman.

The physiological structure and physique of men and women determine that women will suffer more.

"Those palace maids, when they have their period, they must drink more hot water and try not to touch cold water. A woman's body can only be preserved if she takes good care of it herself." Others will not feel sorry for you, especially men who cannot empathize with you.

Lianhua bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely send someone to convey this message to each palace."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Okay, by the way, where's Snow White?" I seem to have not seen that cat in the past two days.

Mu Xiang explained, "Your Majesty, you have been weak these past two days, so I didn't let them come."

"It doesn't matter. It's all clean anyway, so it won't affect much."

Mu Xiang asked, "Then should this servant send someone to bring it?"

She nodded lightly. When Mu Xiang brought Bai Xue over, Bai Xue was still a little nervous.

"Come, Bai Xue, let me hug you." She hasn't hugged this guy for a while.

Shangguan Wanjun gently stroked its body, and Bai Xue gradually became less reserved and nervous.

"You're growing up pretty fast. I haven't seen you for just a few days, but you seem to have grown a lot bigger."

Mu Xiang smiled gently when she heard it.

"Your Majesty, Bai Xue is still young, so naturally she changes every day."

"You're right. Look at its feet, they're so pink and its fur is so white. I wonder what it will look like when it grows up."

Mu Xiang reached out and touched it, and Bai Xue meowed. Everyone smiled at each other when they heard it.

Su Yude leaned over to Liu Cheng and whispered, "Eunuch Liu, the meal is ready."

Liu Cheng looked at the emperor who was happily teasing the cat, and stepped forward.

"Lunch is ready, please move to the dining room."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes slightly.

"Let's go." She picked up Bai Xue and walked towards the dining hall, then stroked her dress and sat down. Mu Xiang stepped forward to take Bai Xue, and Shangguan Wanjun washed her hands in a clean basin.

The palace maid respectfully handed over a clean handkerchief, and Shangguan Wanjun took it and wiped herself.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup, she waited for the eunuch to finish testing the poison before picking up the silver chopsticks and starting to eat.

The emperor's meal specifications included more than just these dishes, but in order to save money, she only asked for three dishes and one soup to be prepared. This was considered good for her, after all, ordinary people's homes might not have these dishes.

Fortunately, she did not travel through time and space and be reborn into an ordinary family, otherwise she would have starved to death. At least now she does not have to worry about food every day.

However, it is not easy to worry about national affairs. She is so exhausted that she is afraid of becoming bald one day.

"I'm going to take a nap, so just leave Lianhua to watch over me. You all can go have lunch."

Everyone saluted respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

She still has to treat the lives of those who take care of her personally well. After all, sincerity is rewarded with sincerity. The better she treats them, the more serious and loyal they will be. People, it's all mutual.

"Lianhua, those dishes are all clean. You can eat them. I will play with Bai Xue for a while."

Lianhua understood that the emperor was waiting for her, and bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

She took the spare bowl and chopsticks prepared on the side and started to pick up the food to eat while standing. Seeing that she was struggling, Shangguan Wanjun whispered instructions.

"Please sit down. It's tiring to eat standing up."

Lianhua was stunned: The master is too good to them.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shangguan Wanjun was quite approachable in daily life, but when she got angry, she also had the majesty of an emperor and a strong sense of oppression.

After Lianhua finished her meal, Shangguan Wanjun got up and carried Baixue back to the bedroom in the side hall to rest on the bed.

"Your Majesty, let me hold Bai Xue."

"No need, let it sleep on the bed."

"This... isn't appropriate." After all, this is a beast, and the emperor is the true dragon emperor.

"No problem, go get a quilt and make a bed on the floor so you can sleep more comfortably."

Lianhua was moved three times in a short while: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor is so good to them, she must be more diligent and loyal.

Shangguan Wanjun fell asleep soon after Baiyue slept next to her. She slept so soundly that she began to have sweet dreams, but was woken up at the critical moment.

Looking at Mu Xiang, Shangguan Wanjun closed her eyes again.

"Is it time?"

Mu Xiang replied cautiously, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Help me up." She was sleeping soundly.

She carried Bai Xue back to the main hall to deal with memorials. The four concubines, Meifei - Hu Siyang, Kangpin - Su Kangqiao, Baipin - Jiang Ruobai, and Wupin - Zhu Wu, were stunned for a moment when they saw her carrying Bai Xue out.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well."

"No need to be polite, just sit down." She put Snow White next to the desk, stroked its head, and spoke gently.

"You have to be good." After she said that, she took the memorial beside her and began to deal with it seriously.

The imperial wives were all a little jealous of the emperor's gentleness towards Bai Xue. He was too gentle, wasn't he? Bai Xue sat there obediently, like a good child, her eyes darting around, sometimes even staring at Shangguan Wanjun, who was diligently handling government affairs, as if curious about what she was doing.

Looking at the memorial in her hand, Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly.
