The wives of the concubines are empresses

In the Golden Palace, there was a minister who was once the Shaofu of Li Shaofu and has now been promoted to Li Taifu. He is also a minister with great talent and integrity.

"This official uniform looks great on you, Grand Tutor Li. It suits you very well, with your elegant and easygoing temperament."

Imperial Tutor Li bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

He could tell that the emperor was serious about the compliment, and the smile on her face reached her eyes.

"The matter of the Grand Tutor has been settled. It's time for everyone to get busy with the matters concerning the Crown Prince and his tutor."

The ministers bowed and said, "We obey your order."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Li Taifu and smiled gently. "Li Taifu, after the court session, please accompany me to visit the folk academy. I haven't been there for two or three months since I found out I was pregnant."

Imperial Tutor Li bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."

I believe the emperor will have something to say to him later, and it must be related to the matter of the eldest prince and his companion.

Thinking of the eldest prince, Taifu Li felt a great sense of responsibility, for this was the first child of the empress of this dynasty and also the first prince.

He looked up at Shangguan Wanjun's pregnant body and sighed: In a few months, the country will welcome two more princes and a princess, who will also be the first princess of this dynasty.

Shangguan Wanjun gently stroked the pregnant woman with her right hand and spoke softly.

"In a few months, winter will arrive. The number of people dying of starvation and freezing across the country has greatly decreased, but you must not let your guard down and must remain vigilant at all times."

The ministers bowed again: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Thinking that she was about to visit the folk academy, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Su Yude.

"Xiao Dezi."

"The slave is here."

"Go and summon Baipin and Zhoupin. They will leave the palace with us later."

Su Yude bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

When Jiang Shiji, the Minister of Imperial Household, and Zheng Shuyong, the Commander of the Capital Guards, heard that their sons were accompanying the emperor, a faint smile appeared on their faces.

When Mr. Qu was free, he was strolling in the Imperial Garden, but he ran into Concubine Zhou - Zhengzhou Xing walking towards him.

"Hey, you are also the emperor's husband."

Zhoupin-Zhengzhou Xing was stunned when she saw it was him, and quickly saluted respectfully.

"Meet Master-in-law."

"No need to be so polite." Everything about the palace is good except that there are too many rules.

Concubine Zhou-Zhengzhou Xing politely thanked: "Thank you, Master, for your understanding."

"Where are you going?"

"My disciple will accompany the emperor to the folk academy in a while."

Mr. Qu was stunned. "Is it the academy built in the Emperor's Princess Mansion?"

Concubine Zhou-Zhengzhou Xing nodded slightly.

"Exactly."

Mr. Qu became interested: "Let's go together."

Concubine Zhengzhou was stunned: "Ah, Master-in-law, you are going too?"

Qu Lao pulled him away, and Concubine Zhou sighed that he was old but had good physical strength.

Su Yude and Baipin Jiang Ruobai gathered with Shangguan Wanjun, and they both saluted respectfully.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

"This slave is here to see the Emperor."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded, but was stunned by a figure that appeared in front of her.

"Hey, why do I seem to see my master?" Is it because I am dazzled?

Hearing this, the accompanying Master Li looked up and saw a spirited man walking towards them.

"Mr. Qu?" Why is he here? I remember the emperor didn't summon him.

Concubine Zhou-Zhengzhou Xing and Qu Lao came to Shangguan Wanjun and saluted.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

"This old man has met the Emperor."

"Master, why are you here?" Do you want to go out of the palace to play again?

Old Qu smiled and looked up: "I am here to join in the fun."

Now Shangguan Wanjun and others understood that Mr. Qu was indeed here to join in the fun.

In addition to Shangguan Wanjun, there were also Baipin - Jiang Ruobai, Zhoupin - Zhengzhouxing, as well as Li Taifu and Qu Lao sitting on the imperial carriage. Each of them had a noble status and held a certain weight in Shangguan Wanjun's heart.

"Your Majesty, why are we going to the academy?" Old Qu was very puzzled. His female disciple was very busy every day.

"Just take a look, just go out and relax." Shangguan Wanjun's tone was calm and gentle, and no emotion could be heard from her.

The girls' academy arrived first, and the principal Mo Wenxue, deputy principal Lin Xue and other teachers welcomed the emperor.

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor." The two folk academies were mainly male and female. The principal of the women's academy was a woman, and the deputy principal was a man. If the deputy principal wanted to be promoted, he could only go to the men's academy.

Similarly, if the deputy principal of a men's college wants to become the principal, he can only come to the women's college. Therefore, there is no competition between the male and female principals and deputy principals of the same college, and they can get along more easily and happily.

Seeing the unfamiliar face, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Lin Xue.

"Who is this?"

Mo Wenxue replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, he is the deputy headmaster, Lin Xue, courtesy name Zhengyuan."

"Lin Xue, this is exactly the same character as Chen Daren's name. The character Zhengyuan is quite good."

Lin Xue bowed and said, "I thank the emperor for his praise."

"Work hard, come on, walk around with me."

Mo Wenxue and the others bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

A group of people walked into the academy at the same time. Listening to the sound of reading aloud, Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and smiled with admiration.

"Time flies by so fast. It seems like this place has changed, yet it seems the same."

Taifu Li said softly, "In fact, each of us is changing."

"That's what Master Li said."

Everyone in the girls' academy was quietly listening to the students' reading aloud. Shangguan Wanjun, who was tired from walking, saw where they were sitting and walked straight over. Lianhua quickly took out a handkerchief and put it down.

Baipin Jiang Ruobai helped her sit down slowly. At this time, a yellow leaf fell on Shangguan Wanjun's hair. Zhoupin Zheng Zhouxing reached out to take it down when he saw it.

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes slightly and looked at him, only to see a yellow leaf in the shape of a maple leaf in his hand. She reached out and took it.

"Autumn has arrived." It's autumn again, and this is her fifth year in this world.

Five years is neither long nor short, and a lot of things happened during this period.

She went from being a young girl emperor to the emperor who now holds great power. Although she was still a girl, she had become a mother and was now pregnant with triplets.

The eldest prince Shangguan Mucang is the blood relative she truly feels in this world. In a few months, her blood-related triplets will be born, and she will have more and more relatives in this world.

Everyone silently watched the empress staring at the dead leaves, her gentle expression as she lowered her head, and her delicate hands gently caressing her pregnant belly.

"Everyone is tired from walking. Let's sit down for a while and let the sound of reading cleanse us."

Everyone bowed and whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lianhua took the cold boiled water she had prepared in advance and poured a glass for Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, please have a drink of water."

"Thank you." Lianhua smiled and nodded politely, then stepped back and stood quietly.

At this time, a breeze was blowing, and the dead leaves on the trees fell one by one. Looking at the sky that looked like a rain of falling leaves, Shangguan Wanjun raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"How was the autumn harvest this year?"

Judging from the situation, it should be pretty good.

Tutor Li and Old Man Qu looked at each other, and Old Man Qu looked up with a smile.

"It's pretty good. The rice has been improved before, and the autumn harvest is much larger than before."

He came back to Beijing from all over the place, so he saw it most clearly.

Shangguan Wanjun still believed in her master's words.
