The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 278 The Empress Embroidered Peace and Blessing Sachets for the Generals

Guard Li reported to Shangguan Wanjun what happened after the court session. He was the empress's personal guard and also her secret guard, and he knew how to disguise himself.

Shangguan Wanjun fiddled with the white chess pieces, her expression calm and composed, completely unaffected by what Guard Li reported.

"I understand. Please leave first."

Guard Li bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Wanjun thought about the report and suddenly smiled.

Shangguan Wanjun: Concubine De... Wennian, what were you thinking at that time?

Shangguan Wanjun put down the white chess piece and looked at Sun Yuewei to give instructions.

"Yuewei."

"emperor."

"Please find me some needle and thread." She wanted to embroider words of peace and happiness for her two husbands guarding the border. As a person, if others are sincere to her, she will be sincere to others. This is also the principle she has always followed in life.

Sun Yuewei bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"

Looking at her departing figure, Shangguan Wanjun suddenly thought of her master who was both a doctor and a poison master.

Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and lowered her head: It’s probably been more than half a year since we last met.

There were not many memorials today, so Shangguan Wanjun directly arranged for Concubine Shu - Gao Zihao to handle them. Except for particularly important matters, all others were allowed to be reviewed by Minglan.

The Book Princess Gao Zihao quietly handled the memorials, while Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head and carefully embroidered the peace and blessing sachet, every stitch and thread on it was filled with her love.

After finishing processing ten memorials, Gao Zihao, the Book Princess, looked up at the woman who was sitting on a high seat in front of him and embroidering seriously.

"Your Majesty, what are you embroidering?"

"I embroidered peace and happiness, and prepared to make a sachet for the two imperial husbands stationed at the border."

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao felt that he really shouldn't ask, but even if he didn't ask, he wanted to know. Now that he knew, he felt uncomfortable and even a little lost.

"It's really not easy for them to guard the border. I'm sure they will be very happy to receive the sachet made by the emperor himself."

Shangguan Wanjun knew very well the bitterness in his heart, but it was necessary to make peace and blessing sachets for the two generals stationed on the border.

In front of her family and country, she is not only their king, but also their wife. They defend their country, so as a king and wife, she should always show her appreciation.

Seeing Shu Fei - Gao Zihao hiding his lost look, Shangguan Wanjun felt a little bit reluctant.

"Muxiang."

"The servant is here."

"Prepare a dish of Desert Sand Chicken for me for lunch?"

Mu Xiang was stunned when she heard this: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Shu - Gao Zihao paused while reviewing the memorial: Desert Sand Chicken? That means "joyful" and also symbolizes happiness and auspiciousness. It's an auspicious dish. The emperor ordered this for me, right?

The story of Desert Sand Chicken is related to the renowned Western Han Dynasty general Wei Qing. According to historical records, in the fifth year of the Yuanshuo era (124 BC), after Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu in the Hetao region, local residents presented him with a freshly roasted chicken as a token of their gratitude. Wei Qing, impressed by its delicious flavor, ordered his chef to learn how to prepare it, and named the dish "Desert Sand Chicken."

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao was delighted. He looked up at the gentle, graceful, dignified and elegant woman above him, his eyes revealing sincere affection.

Shangguan Wanjun may have noticed something, and suddenly raised her eyes to meet his burning gaze. Shu Fei - Gao Zihao was caught on the spot, with a hint of embarrassment on her face. Shangguan Wanjun smiled at him gently, like sunshine after the rain, shining in his heart.

Shu Fei-Gao Zihao smiled back, and the ambiguous tug-of-war between the two touched the hearts of everyone present.

When it was time for lunch, Gao Zihao finished reviewing the memorial from Concubine Shu. After he sorted it out, he stood up and sat down next to Shangguan Wanjun. Seeing that she was still embroidering stitch by stitch, there was envy in his eyes, but not a bit of jealousy.

"Your Majesty, these three words you embroidered are quite beautiful."

The emperor of their family also knows the needlework that girls know.

"My beloved concubine, this is a wonderful compliment. I am so ashamed to accept it. Are you hungry?"

"A little hungry."

"Then let's eat." She pinned the embroidered fabric, then raised her hand and put it down.

"Let's go."

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao gently supported Shangguan Wanjun as they walked towards the dining hall. The two of them acted like a married couple of years, and all their movements were so natural and pleasing to the eye.

Shangguan Wanjun, who is cold yet bright, has a good match with all the emperors in the harem, but the feelings are different.

At the dining table, Princess Shu-Gao Zihao carefully helped Shangguan Wanjun sit down.

"Your Majesty, please slow down."

"Please take a seat, my beloved!"

The couple's voices are both gentle and pleasant to listen to, making people feel comfortable unconsciously.

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao personally served soup to Shangguan Wanjun, and scooped up a spoonful, blew on it and put it to Shangguan Wanjun's mouth.

"Your Majesty, it's not hot anymore."

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head and opened her mouth, taking a sip of the fresh chicken soup, and smiled gently.

"Delicious."

"Really? My lord, try it."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at him quietly. Gao Zihao, the noble concubine of a noble family, had an elegant and attractive posture when drinking soup.

"It tastes quite good." After saying that, he continued to scoop up the soup and patiently feed Shangguan Wanjun.

Liu Cheng, Minglan and others looked at this scene and felt it was extremely tender.

As a female emperor, Shangguan Wanjun had three thousand handsome husbands in her harem, but she was very kind to every husband and even got along very well with every one of them.

Because of her example, most of the couples in the Yuan Dynasty had very good relationships. After all, they had the royal couple as a role model.

After eating and drinking, Shangguan Wanjun began to feel sleepy, and Shu Fei - Gao Zihao easily picked her up by the waist and walked towards the side hall.

"Your Majesty, let me hold you for a nap."

Shangguan Wanjun responded softly, "Okay."

After saying that, she climbed onto the man's neck and lay quietly on his safe and strong shoulders.

At the edge of the bed, Shu Fei - Gao Zihao looked down at the sweet sleeping person, his eyes full of tenderness. He gently placed the person on the inside, took off her shoes, socks, outer clothes and other items for her with his own hands, and finally took off his own shoes, socks and other items, and then gently lay down on the outside to fall asleep.

No one knew where Mr. Qu had gone to wander again, and he was dressed like a beggar.

Defei - Mu Wennian left the yamen and was about to return to the palace when she saw a familiar figure.

Concubine De Mu Wennian was puzzled: Is that my master's father-in-law? Is he dazzled?

"Mr. Qu."

Old Qu turned around and looked at Concubine De, Mu Wennian, who was dressed in official uniform, while leaning on a cane.

"Are you the emperor's son-in-law?"

Defei Mu Wennian walked up to him and saluted respectfully.

"The son-in-law greets his master-in-law."

"Which emperor's son-in-law are you?"

De Fei - Mu Wennian spoke patiently: "The son-in-law is De Fei."

"It's you. Are you returning to the palace after leaving the government office? Then let's go together."

De Fei - Mu Wennian bowed: "Okay, please!"

Inside the carriage, the smell of Mr. Qu was a little unbearable, but as his disciple's son-in-law, Concubine De, Mu Wennian, did not dare to despise it.

"How is Beijing lately?"

"Nothing major has happened. It's just that the news of Long Yang's affair has been spreading frequently recently, which has affected stability."

Old Qu was shocked: "Long Yang's love? These people are really extravagant. They don't marry a good wife. This is just indiscriminate."

The world is really in decline.

Concubine De Mu Wennian explained, "The Emperor has sent the Jingzhao Yin to investigate this matter thoroughly. I believe it won't have a big impact."

Old Qu stroked his beard and nodded.
