The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 267 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Liu Cheng announced loudly: "The Emperor has arrived! Concubine Wu has arrived! Concubine Wen has arrived! Concubine Lu has arrived! The eldest prince has arrived!"

The Right Prime Minister was a little dissatisfied to see his son ranked behind Concubine Wu.

Shangguan Wanjun bowed to the two Empress Dowagers, and the others quickly stood up.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother!"

The three attendants behind him followed suit and saluted. Even in formal occasions, Shangguan Mucang also saluted obediently.

"Grandson pays his respects to the two imperial grandmothers!"

The Empress Dowager Donggong looked at her adorable and well-behaved grandson and quickly waved to him, "Cang'er, come here, Grandmother."

Shangguan Mucang ran over quickly, and the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace hugged him with a look of joy.

"Did you enjoy your visit to Grandma's house?"

"I'm happy. My beautiful grandmother gave Cang'er a lot of food."

Hearing about her beautiful grandmother, Madam Liu felt as sweet as honey in her heart, but with the two Empress Dowagers and everyone else present, she didn't dare show it.

"Empress Dowager, the eldest prince was just joking."

Shangguan Mucang shook his head and retorted: "Cang'er didn't lie."

Mrs. Liu felt anxious in her heart: Oh, my ancestors, you can’t say such things.

But what she didn't expect was yet to come. Shangguan Muchang looked at the Empress Dowager Donggong seriously.

"Beautiful Grandmother, Cang'er didn't lie."

Hearing about his beautiful grandmother, the Empress Dowager Donggong was very happy and reached out to scratch his nose.

"Well, let's start eating well, okay?"

Watching the warm interaction between the grandparents and grandchildren, with her mother watching tenderly and lovingly from the side, Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and smiled.

"Mother, Queen, let's have dinner. I'm hungry."

When the Empress Dowager Donggong heard this, she remembered that her daughter was pregnant again, and today's family dinner was specially prepared.

"Hurry, have a bowl of chicken soup to fill your stomach and warm it up."

Noble Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi hurriedly picked up the empty bowl in front of Shangguan Wanjun and served her soup, while Noble Concubine Wu - Xuanchuanfeng served her rice. The two Empress Dowagers smiled with satisfaction.

The Queen Mother of the Western Palace hurriedly urged: "My son, drink the soup quickly."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded, picked up the chicken soup, picked up the jade spoon and tasted it gently.

"Delicious."

The Empress Dowager Donggong smiled lovingly: "It's delicious, drink more. I asked the kitchen to stew this for two hours. The medicinal food in it is good for your pregnancy.

"Thank you, mother. I understand."

The Empress Dowager Xigong picked up some food for her eldest grandson, and Shangguan Wanjun ate happily.

Seeing that Lady Huguo and Lady Anguo did not eat meat, Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly.

"Why don't you two ladies eat meat?"

Lady Huguo and Lady Anguo looked at each other awkwardly, and Lady Huguo spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I want to eat, but I haven't been able to get any meat yet."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded without asking any more questions. She saw the pickled fish on the table and quickly picked up the pickled vegetables to taste. Seeing her pickle two pieces in a row, everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Anguo swallowed and couldn't help but express her concern.

"Your Majesty, doesn't your food taste sour?"

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head calmly: "Not sour."

It's just pickled cabbage, she doesn't eat sour oranges.

Mrs. Anguo swallowed again, and she felt sour just thinking about the dish.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi laughed and said, "Mother, the emperor is having three babies, two sons and one daughter. As the saying goes, sour sons and spicy daughters, it just corresponds."

Madam Huguo smiled and nodded: "That's right."

The two older men, the Right Prime Minister and General Xuanwei, had a very low sense of presence. General Xuanwei just kept eating, and the Right Prime Minister looked at him with disgust.

The right prime minister complained in his heart: Eat, eat, eat, all he does is eat, like a glutton.

General Xuanwei ignored his disgust. As long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.

Shangguan Wanjun had a very good appetite these past two days, and everything she ate tasted delicious. Seeing her eating happily, everyone else's appetite also increased, and they started to eat as much as they could.

After all, the Empress Dowager Xigong had experience in giving birth, and seeing her daughter eating like this, she was afraid that she would get sick from overeating.

"My son, you...be careful." You can't directly remind the prince in front of everyone not to eat too much, as it's bad for his stomach. After all, the prince is the emperor and he also needs to save face.

Shangguan Wanjun knew her mother's worries and put down her chopsticks decisively.

"Mother, I have finished my meal. You all can enjoy yourselves."

The Empress Dowager Xigong was stunned: "You're done eating already? The emperor really lets go as he says."

As it was getting late after the family dinner, Shangguan Wanjun asked Muxiang to take General Xuanwei, Lady Huguo, the Right Prime Minister and Lady Anguo to the empty palace to sleep.

Madam Liu brought Shangguan Mucang back to Leng Shuxiang's Xiangxuan Pavilion. Knowing that Madam Liu would stay overnight, Leng Shuxiang had already arranged a bedroom for her.

Seeing the two men coming back, Leng Shuxiang hurried forward to greet them.

"Your servant greets the Crown Prince and Madam Liu."

Shangguan Mucang stepped forward and hugged Leng Shuxiang's thigh, making her feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Madam Liu, please forgive me for making fun of you, eldest prince. You can't do this. It's not befitting of your status."

Shangguan Mucang pouted, and seeing him pouting, Madam Liu hurried forward to coax him.

"Okay, Cang'er, what Lord Leng said makes sense. Grandma will take you to wash and change clothes, okay?"

Shangguan Mucang nodded obediently and took her hand into the hall.

Seeing the grandparents, Leng Shuxiang felt relieved but also sighed, as her two children were destined to be without grandparents.

Yuan Siqi felt a little distressed when he saw his mother's lonely look.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Leng Shuxiang didn't expect that her sad scene was seen by her son, and she quickly shook her head gently.

"It's okay, mother just got some sand in her eyes and is feeling a little uncomfortable."

"Then your son will help you blow it." He stood on tiptoe but still couldn't reach Leng Shuxiang. Seeing this, Leng Shuxiang bent down and squatted, and Yuan Siqi blew gently for her.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

Leng Shuxiang smiled gently at her son and nodded: "Much better. Madam Liu and Aunt Youyou are with the eldest prince. Mother will help you wash and change clothes tonight, okay?"

Yuan Siqi nodded obediently with joy.

"it is good."

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi took the initiative to send Shangguan Wanjun and successfully let her stay overnight in the Dragon Palace. Looking at the gentle Shangguan Wanjun sitting in front of the dressing table, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi's eyes were full of tenderness and love.

Shangguan Wanjun accidentally caught a glimpse of the smile on his face in the mirror, and lowered her eyes with a slight movement of her eyebrows.

After so many years, he finally got his wish and became a father. He must be very happy in his heart, after all, his long-cherished wish has come true.

"What is the emperor thinking about?"

Shangguan Wanjun didn't know when he came over, perhaps she was distracted and didn't notice him.

"I'm just recalling the scene when I first met my husband." The first time they met should be on their wedding day, which was also the day she first met Concubine Wu - Xuanchuan Feng.

Hearing the emperor's words, Noble Consort Wen - Bai Xuanyi's heart moved slightly: It turned out that the emperor remembered that they first met on their wedding day, but he was not the only one, there was also Noble Consort Wu - Chuanzhu Feng.

Seeing that he suddenly became distracted, Shangguan Wanjun was very confused and turned around to ask.

"Husband?"

"Huh? Sorry, my husband was distracted."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled faintly and said, "What could have caused my husband to be distracted?"

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi bent down and looked into Shangguan Wanjun's eyes.

"Of course I think of my lady in her red wedding gown and stunning beauty."

"My appearance can only be considered gentle and beautiful, but it is just a little bright in the coldness. It is still far from being a beauty in the world."

The beauty of the prosperous age should be the same appearance as Yang Guifei and Xi Shi, after all, there is evidence of this in history.

Noble Consort Wen - Bai Xuanyi shook his head: "No, in the eyes of this subject, the Emperor and his wife are the most beautiful, the most beautiful in the world."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled when she heard this: "What's that? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?"
