The wives of the concubines are empresses

General Anyong learned that Shangguan Wanjun had returned to the palace and came outside the palace to ask for a meeting.

Shi Qingxue quickly walked to the front of the main hall and stopped: "Your Majesty, General An Yong requests an audience."

Shangguan Wanjun was slightly stunned: Why is he here?

"Xuan."

Shi Qingxue announced loudly: "General Xuan'an Yong is here to see you!"

When he changed into a brocade robe and walked into the hall, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but smile.

"The general looks good in a brocade robe, but..."

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao looked at her curiously and asked, "Your Majesty, but what?"

"It's a little bit strange."

Concubine Ran - Wang Ran, Concubine Zhou - Zheng Zhouxing, and Lord Landa - Lannaxin all looked at General Anyong, only to see that he was also staring at Shangguan Wanjun with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty, is this minister's outfit strange?"

Shangguan Wanjun supported her round, delicate face with one hand and said, "Yes, there's a feeling that's hard to describe. How should I put it? I feel like a child who has stolen adult clothes."

General Anyong was shocked: "Ah, Your Majesty, you must be joking. I am older than you."

Shangguan Wanjun pouted: "Then I am also a mother, why don't you say it."

She is a real adult. After all, she has children, who are several years old, and is now pregnant with three babies.

General Anyong sighed, "Humph, in two years, I will definitely ask the Emperor to bear children for me."

None of the concubines wanted to respond to this. After all, they were all husbands of the emperor, and who wouldn't want to have a child who was related to the emperor by blood? The bond between husband and wife would then be deeper and tighter.

"It's a rare day off, why don't you ladies perform some talent shows to liven up the atmosphere, and we can also show off our elegance."

General Anyong replied, "Then I, your servant, can only watch."

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head and smiled. "I really want to see the general ride a horse and shoot arrows, but I really don't want to leave today. I feel like I've become a little lazy now that I'm pregnant."

Ranpin - Wang Ran smiled gently and comforted: "Your Majesty, you are pregnant after all, and with triplets in your belly, so it is natural that you are more tired than usual. Since Your Majesty wants to see a performance, why don't you let me play the flute for you?"

"It's not impossible. Thank you for your help, my beloved."

A quarter of an hour later, a flute was in the hands of Concubine Ran - Wang Ran. He held the flute with his fingers as white as scallions and as white as jade, and played it seriously.

Everyone listened quietly, and Shangguan Wanjun also listened quietly, looking very enjoyable.

After the song ended, Zhoupin-Zhengzhouxing also became interested.

"Your Majesty, how about I recite a poem to liven up the atmosphere?"

Shangguan Wanjun smiled gently and brightly, "My dear, please do as you please!"

Thinking that it was already the end of early autumn, Concubine Zhengzhou prepared to recite.

"The cold autumn light of silver candles paints the screen, and the light fan blows at the flowing fireflies.

The sky is as cold as water at night, and I lie down to watch Altair and Vega. "

Taken from "Autumn Eve", it is a seven-character quatrain by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty, originally a palace poem of resentment.

Shangguan Wanjun thought that this poem was about a lonely palace maid who, on the night of the Qixi Festival, looked up at the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both sides of the Milky Way, and fanned fireflies from time to time to dispel her loneliness. It reflected the unfortunate fate of the palace women and expressed the depressed mood of a palace maid who had no relatives and was bored.

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly fell silent again. The palace maids had already been replaced by a new batch. Since she was a woman, she naturally considered more about other women.

Concubine Zhou - Zhengzhou Xing suddenly realized that she had recited the wrong words, and felt a little awkward and ashamed. She wanted to make the emperor happy, but she didn't expect to make a mistake.

"emperor……"

Shangguan Wanjun interrupted him.

"It's okay, let's continue."

Shiyaxuan Hall

Qu Lao and Bao Zhian sat together, drinking and eating snacks, and they drank happily. Bao Zhian looked at Qu Lao who was drinking freely and smiled.

"Mr. Qu, your life is so good! I envy you."

Old Qu said drunkenly, "What's the matter? Have you not eaten or drunk enough?"

Bao Zhian scratched his head awkwardly: "Mr. Qu, look at what you said, I said the wrong thing."

He hurried over to give Mr. Qu a shoulder massage. Mr. Qu picked up the jar of wine and took another big gulp as if enjoying himself.

"This little life is really good, haha, let's drink and enjoy life today, so cool."

Shangguan Wanjun was still quite unhappy about the matter at Anbo Mansion.

Guard Li reported the matter to Shangguan Wanjun, who lowered her head and looked at a yellow chrysanthemum in front of her.

“Sometimes thinking too much and asking for too much is not a good thing.”

Minglan asked, "Your Majesty, how do we interpret this?"

Shangguan Wanjun smiled faintly: "The worst that can happen is that there will be one more imperial husband in the harem. There are already more than twenty concubines in the harem. After the selection of concubines, there will be new people added. So what if they enter the palace?"

Shangguan Wanjun sneered in her heart: All the people in the palace are hers. No matter how powerful the Anbo Mansion is, they can still act wildly in her territory.

Humph, let’s wait and see.

Looking at her gradually bulging belly, Shangguan Wanjun stood under the tree in Zhaolan Palace and gently stroked her lower abdomen.

"Your Majesty, you are heavy and should not stand for a long time. Let me help you sit down." Chen Daren - Lin Xueyu helped her sit down.

"Your Majesty, please drink some hot water."

Shangguan Wanjun reached out and took it from him, drinking it all in one gulp.

"Another half month has passed before I knew it. The selection of concubines is imminent, and I don't know what to do."

Chen Daren-Lin Xueyu paused while drinking tea, he raised his hand slightly and looked at the cold and gentle Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened recently. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"Let's wait and see tomorrow. I don't want to move today." She is now almost three months pregnant, and her body is as heavy as that of an ordinary pregnant woman in four months.

Chen Daren-Lin Xueyu also lowered his head to look at her slightly bulging belly, pursed his lips and smiled.

"That's good. Your Majesty should have more rest." He found that the emperor was quite lazy, but he was not vague about anything, which was his amazing point.

Zhaolan Palace was the palace where Shangguan Wanjun lived throughout her youth. It was inevitable that she would come here several times, and most of the furnishings in the palace remained the same as before.

Every time Shangguan Wanjun slept on the couch in the bedroom, she felt like she had returned to her princess days, and every time she woke up, she had the illusion of having just arrived.

"Your Majesty, you are awake." The two men had woken up from their naps. Seeing Shangguan Wanjun distracted, Chen Daren - Lin Xueyu's eyes showed worry.

In this palace, he found that every time he looked at the emperor's face, he saw a dreamlike feeling. Could it be that the emperor was recalling something?

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Well, since everyone is awake, let's get up."

"it is good."

Looking at some medicinal herbs in the courtyard of Zhaolan Palace, Shangguan Wanjun leaned over slightly to check.

Chen Daren-Lin Xueyu saw her lowering her head and gently admiring the plants, and gently stepped forward to explain.

"These were all planted by my husband."

"I can see you're very attentive. There's also an iron stone compress here. It's quite precious."

Chen Daren-Lin Xueyu felt that he was very lucky. Although he did not understand the affairs of the court, he and the emperor had common topics.

In the palace, they would discuss medicine and medicinal herbs, as if they had endless things to talk about.

At the selection of concubines, Shangguan Wanjun arrived at the scene with Minglan, Liucheng, Lianhua, Muxiang, Ouhe and others.
