The wives of the concubines are empresses

The court officials were all shocked, and many of them had not yet reacted.

General Xuanwei reluctantly advised, "Yes, Grand Tutor Yun, we are all reluctant to see you go."

Defei Mu Wennian, who had not spoken yet, also spoke.

"Master Yun should think twice."

Shangguan Wanjun sighed lightly: It seems that the teacher is serious this time.

After the court session, the right prime minister, General Xuanwei and the six ministers all went to the Council Hall to discuss matters.

Shangguan Wanjun sat in the main seat, and the ministers sat on both sides. Seeing everyone silent, Shangguan Wanjun sighed deeply.

"What do you think, my dear ministers, regarding Grand Tutor Yun's resignation?"

She also wanted to hear the opinions of the veteran ministers.

The Right Prime Minister and General Xuanwei looked at each other and both sighed deeply, as if this matter was a done deal.

Minister of Revenue Mu Qinghai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, since Grand Tutor Yun has spoken directly in the court, it proves that Grand Tutor Yun truly thinks before acting."

Minister of Works Lin Chenghao sighed, "Taifu Yun might want to leave room for someone else. After all, if he stays in this position, the people below him will never be able to get promoted."

Minister of Rites Gao Xinghua pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid that Grand Tutor Yun is determined to do this."

After discussing for a long time without any good result, Shangguan Wanjun returned to the imperial study, closed her eyes, and raised her hand to gently rub her eyebrows.

Minglan was worried about her heavy body during pregnancy: "Your Majesty, you must pay attention to your body."

Shangguan Wanjun opened her eyes and looked at her, then lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Minglan and Liucheng looked at each other, both pursed their lips and sighed.

Lily brought a cup of soapy water and Liu Cheng stepped forward to take it.

"Your Majesty, you haven't had a drop of water for a long time since you came back. Please have a cup of soapy water." Shangguan Wanjun stopped drinking tea after she became pregnant. The Tea Fragrance Courtyard was usually not busy except for serving tea to the emperor's husbands and others.

Shangguan Wanjun was a person who listened to advice. She raised her hand, picked up the teacup and took a big sip.

"Where are the side officials who came to review the classified memorials?"

Minglan said, "They're on their way."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly, and Shi Qingxue walked over with a slight bow respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ran, Concubine Zhou, and Concubine Landa have arrived outside the palace."

Shangguan Wanjun raised her head slightly: "Announce."

"Yes." Shi Qingxue raised his head and stood aside, then straightened his chest and raised his head to sing the report.

"Xuan Shufei, Ranpin, Zhoupin, and Landajun enter the palace."

Four people entered the hall one after another. The warm light outside the hall was cast on them. At this moment, the gentle and graceful young man like jade was embodied.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant!"

Four pairs of slender and beautiful hands all cupped their hands, and Shangguan Wanjun spoke.

"Sit down!"

Hearing her somewhat weak voice, the four side lords were puzzled.

"Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Concubine Gao Zihao spoke first.

The other three side lords also looked at the person who was relatively silent today.

"Taifu Yun resigned from his position in the court today."

Hearing this, the four of them looked up in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Ranpin - Wang Ran pursed her lips slightly and said, "Your Majesty, why did Taifu Yun suddenly want to resign?"

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao, Zhou Fei - Zhengzhou Xing, and Landa Jun Lan Naxin were also confused.

"The Grand Tutor said he was old."

The four of them thought it made sense, as Taifu Yun was indeed quite old.

Ranpin - Wang Ran said: "The Grand Tutor is fifty-seven this year, so there is no need for him to resign."

Chen Dajun - Lan Naxin suddenly said: "Your Majesty, perhaps you can ask Master Yun yourself."

Shangguan Wanjun's eyes lit up: "You are right, come, go to the Taifu Mansion!"

Liu Cheng was startled: "Your Majesty, are you pregnant? Otherwise, why don't you summon Taifu Yun to the palace?"

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head, stroking her belly and standing up.

"I should also go out of the palace to take a look."

Shu Fei-Gao Zihao had worry in his eyes, and he stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I will accompany you."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go together."

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao came to Shangguan Wanjun's side and helped her walk out of the palace step by step.

"Your Majesty, please relax. This matter needs to be resolved slowly."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Shu Fei - Gao Zihao and nodded slightly.

When the imperial carriage arrived at the Taifu Mansion, all the masters, big and small, came out to welcome it.

"Get off the sedan!"

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao carefully helped Shangguan Wanjun out of the carriage, and everyone in the Taifu Mansion welcomed them loudly.

"Greetings to the Emperor, and to the Concubine Shu!"

The two were welcomed into the main hall. Shangguan Wanjun looked at her teacher with gray hair and sighed in her heart.

Shangguan Wanjun: The teacher has devoted himself to the country and the people for many years. Now, time has passed and the teacher has grown old.

Looking at the silent empress, Master Yun felt a little touched.

"emperor."

No one in the main hall dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the emperor and misbehaving in front of him.

"Teacher, please let everyone leave first."

Taifu Yun understood that the emperor had something to say to him.

"Let's all go back."

Everyone left, and only Liu Cheng and Ming Lan were left at the main hall door. The two looked at each other silently, then looked away, facing forward and standing guard quietly.

The quiet and silent main hall now had a more serious atmosphere.

"Teacher, do you really want to resign?"

Taifu Yun pursed his lips and sighed, "I've thought this over for a long time. The court should give young people more opportunities. Your Majesty has worked hard for many years to govern the country. We can't always be the only ones here. After all, new ideas always conflict with old ones. Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her brows and smiled when she heard this: "Yes, then I will do as you ask. However, I am afraid I will bother you from time to time in the future."

"That's fine. Even if I'm no longer a subject, I'll still be your teacher. Your Majesty is always welcome."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded: "Okay, I wonder if I can have lunch at the teacher's house today?"

Taifu Yun stroked his beard and smiled brightly: "Of course you are welcome."

In the dining hall, Shangguan Wanjun and Concubine Shu - Gao Zihao were added to the Taifu's dining table.

Seeing that the empress was so approachable, Lady Fuguo, as her teacher's wife, also plucked up the courage to put some food in Shangguan Wanjun's bowl.

"Your Majesty, this dish tastes delicious, you can try it."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled gently: "Thank you, Master's wife."

"Your Majesty is very polite."

Taifu Yun also picked up some food for Shangguan Wanjun: "Your Majesty, this baby cabbage is also very good. You have always liked vegetarian food, you can try it."

"Thank you teacher."

After talking to the teacher and expressing my feelings, the relationship between us became closer.

After finishing their meal at the Taifu's household, Shangguan Wanjun and Concubine Shu, Gao Zihao, set off to return to the palace.

In the imperial study, the three concubines had already reviewed the memorials.

Concubine Ran - Wang Ran turned and looked towards the palace entrance, lowering her head slightly.

Concubine Zhengzhou Xing suddenly spoke up: "The Emperor and Concubine Shu haven't returned yet, and I don't know what's going on."

Lan Dajun-Lanaxin continued: "Maybe on the way back."

Not long after, there was a noise outside. The three side princes turned around and looked towards the palace door. A gentle figure and a noble and handsome figure walked in. The three of them stood up at the same time.

"Greetings to the Emperor, and to the Concubine Shu."

Shu Fei-Gao Zihao helped Shangguan Wanjun to sit down on the chair.

Shangguan Wanjun took the hot water brought by Liuli, drank a few sips and put it down.
