The wives of the concubines are empresses

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and when she was about to stand up, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi hurriedly supported her.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

The two of them slowly walked towards the dragon bed. Shangguan Wanjun lay on the inside, and Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi lay on the outside. He gently and carefully covered Shangguan Wanjun with the quilt.

The two of them slept flat on their backs all night, and Shangguan Wanjun was woken up by Aunt Cheng before going to court.

"Aunt, is it time again?" She didn't want to get up. The most painful thing in these years was not dealing with government affairs and memorials, but having to get up early in the morning to attend court, which made her really uncomfortable.

Aunt Cheng said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty, the water for washing and breakfast is ready. Please see?"

Shangguan Wanjun sat up with her eyes closed, then groped her way out of bed. Seeing this, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi hurriedly left the dragon couch and stood up, bending over to help Shangguan Wanjun get out of bed.

Seeing her closing her eyes and looking extremely sleepy, his eyes were filled with heartache, but he could do nothing about it. The emperor was the ruler, and no one could replace him in attending court.

As the emperor's husbands, they could only take on more government affairs for her to reduce her worries and relieve some of her pressure.

After washing, changing clothes and dressing, Shangguan Wanjun was helped by Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi to sit down at the round table.

"Your Majesty, this is nutritious eight-treasure porridge. Let me feed you."

"No, I'll eat it myself."

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi refused: "Your Majesty, I don't have to go to court anyway, so it won't matter if I eat later. I'll feed you first."

Shangguan Wanjun did not refuse again, but she kept her eyes closed while eating the porridge, braised eggs, white flour buns and cornmeal buns.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi felt sad and funny, distressed and helpless.

In the Golden Palace, Shangguan Wanjun, who had eaten and drunk her fill, walked calmly to the dragon throne and sat down.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

General Xuanwei and the Right Prime Minister went to bed early last night, and today they are full of energy, comparable to the young officials in the hall.

At this time, Imperial Censor Fang Wenhua stepped out and said, "I have something to report."

"speak."

"Someone beat someone up in the street and rode a horse."

Shangguan Wanjun frowned: "Who?"

Censor Fang Wenhua looked at Zhao Renwei, the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Zhao Yunfeng, the eldest son of Lord Zhao, the Minister of Rites."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Renwei, the Minister of Rites, fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Majesty, I taught my son a lesson when I returned yesterday."

Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly: "Beating people in the street and riding a horse? Are there any property losses for the people, and any passersby who are harmed?"

Imperial Censor Fang Wenhua bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, all of them are there, but Lord Zhao has already taken care of them."

Hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun relaxed slightly.

"Lord Zhao, what is your punishment for your son?"

Zhao Renwei, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, quickly explained everything.

"Your Majesty, I have ordered that the victims be sent to the infirmary for treatment. In addition, each person must be compensated with ten taels of silver. I have also compensated the innocent property damaged at double the price. Every word I say is true. Your Majesty, please examine it."

Since the empress ascended the throne, she has always disliked bullying, especially against the people of the Yuan Dynasty. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. The seriousness of the matter can be seen from the incident of Concubine Li.

"It was handled very well, but it still caused a bad impact. Tell me about the punishment you imposed on your son and I will see if it is reasonable." As the son of an official, she hated it most when someone broke the law and bullied the weak.

"Yes, yes, I have confined my son to his home and made him copy the law a hundred times."

The ministers were shocked: "Copy the law a hundred times? This Lord Zhao is really cruel."

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head and murmured, "I've copied the law a hundred times. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Taifu Yun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is a very good move. Copying the law a hundred times is quite mentally taxing."

The laws of the Yuan Dynasty were becoming more and more complete, and it would take several months to copy them all. Lord Zhao was indeed ruthless, but spoiling a child is like killing him, so he understood and agreed with this approach.

"Since the teacher says it's okay, then let's do it."

The Imperial Censor Yan Jin said, "Your Majesty, there are many rumors of an affair between Long Yang and me in the capital. I implore Your Majesty to send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly to prevent any negative consequences."

Shangguan Wanjun was shocked: A love between Long Yang?

"Longyang's love" refers to love between men. The story comes from "Strategies of the Warring States: Wei Strategies," which tells the story of the King of Wei and Longyang Jun. Longyang Jun gained the King's favor by seducing him, and later, "Longyang's love" became widely used to refer to homosexual relationships between men.

All the ministers looked at the pregnant empress sitting on the dragon throne with embarrassment. This was so embarrassing that they all buried their necks and dared not speak.

"Broken sleeves?"

The term "Duanxiu" refers to the homosexual relationship between Emperor Ai of Han and Dong Xian. When Dong Xian accidentally tore off Emperor Ai's sleeves while they were sleeping in the same bed, "Duanxiu" became a synonym for homosexuality.

All the ministers were embarrassed and ashamed, especially the male ministers in the hall. They lowered their heads and dared not look at the emperor.

The female ministers were also embarrassed and wanted to faint on the spot.

Shangguan Wanjun clicked her tongue and shook her head in her heart: This ancient time was really amazing, there were even homosexuals, men and men... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, what were those people thinking? A good pairing of men and women would make the work effortless, but they had to do something special.

However, she didn't understand this matter. Although she respected it, it was still unacceptable in this feudal society. She didn't know why those people didn't hide it.

Concubine Wu - Propaganda Style As a military general and a man of iron will, he absolutely cannot understand the concept of homosexuality.

Especially after he got married, he felt the beauty of women and could not understand how things were like this between men.

Defei - Mu Wennian was a civil official and a scholar, and he could not accept the upbringing he received since childhood.

For a moment, the hall was silent. Shangguan Wanjun blinked and sighed. Why didn't these ministers speak? How could she continue speaking? Moreover, this was a matter between men.

Shangguan Wanjun was extremely worried at the moment, with a look of confusion on her face.

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming sighed helplessly, and Concubine Xuan - Song Xuanyi shook her head helplessly.

Taifu Yun's face flushed red from holding back his anger. "Your Majesty, let's have the Dali Temple conduct a thorough investigation."

When Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo heard this, he was frightened and quickly refused.

"Your Majesty, I am very busy at the Dali Temple. Why don't you let the Jingzhao Yin handle this matter?"

The ministers were shocked: "Leave it to Jingzhao Yin? Doesn't Jingzhao Yin have Concubine Xuan, the second son of Lord Song, as his concubine? Is this considered a father betraying his son?"

The ministers were gossiping and watching the melon, and Concubine Xuan - Song Xuanyi was unhappy.

"Dad, aren't you cheating your son?" If his father didn't take Long Yang's proposal, then why should the Jingzhao Yin take it? It really pissed him off. How could you cheat your son like this? What if the emperor had a problem with him in the future? He would be at a huge loss, absolutely not.

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming was also frightened by Lord Song's sudden words and stood there in a daze.

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming sneered: Lord Song, thank you so much, my good colleague.
