The wives of the concubines are empresses

After the palace maids brought water for washing and foot bathing, Lianhua took some dried flower petals and sprinkled some into the foot bath tub.

"Your Majesty, General, please put your feet in."

The two of them placed their feet in their respective foot baths, and the suitable temperature allowed Shangguan Wanjun to adapt for a while.

Ouhe was startled: "Your Majesty, is it hot?"

"It's okay, you'll get used to it in a while."

Ouhe nodded and stepped aside. Shangguan Wanjun looked down at General Anyong's big, black feet.

"Why are your feet all black? Do you have to show your feet during training?"

Lianhua, Coupleu, Muxiang and Liuli all looked at General Anyong, who looked slightly embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, it may be that I, your humble servant, have dark skin."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at him carefully and said, "Your yellow skin should be considered normal, but the color is a little darker."

Seeing that there was no disdain in her eyes, and she was still as friendly and casual as ever, he felt a little less worried.

"As long as the Emperor doesn't mind."

Shangguan Wanjun looked up in confusion: "Disdain? Why would you disdain? General, you helped me build my kingdom, how can you disdain me? Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not that superficial."

General Anyong smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not despising me."

Shangguan Wanjun choked when she heard this and reached out to pinch his ear.

"Can you please be more normal for me? Besides, you are not ugly, you are just a different type from others."

"Your Majesty, it hurts, it hurts, please spare my life."

"Hmph." Shangguan Wanjun proudly let go.

General Anyong approached her and asked curiously, "What type of minister is your husband?"

Shangguan Wanjun said mischievously, "You want to know?"

"Ah."

Shangguan Wanjun suppressed a smile and blinked: "Then why don't you act coquettishly?"

Lianhua, Coupleu, and Muxiang Liuli were shocked, then lowered their heads to suppress their laughter.

General Anyong acted like a spoiled child and rubbed Shangguan Wanjun's sleeve against her.

"Wife, please tell me."

Shangguan Wanjun laughed happily. She was always cold and gentle, but now she turned her head away and laughed.

"You're a tough guy type, and..."

"What else?"

"So cute and adorable." She couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing, holding her pregnant belly with one hand and laughing so hard that her body shook.

General An Yong was confused: "Silly and cute, silly and silly, how can you describe it?"

"Just experience it yourself. I'm sleepy and I'm going to bed. An."

Sometimes it’s quite fun to tease the husbands, hahaha.

Shangguan Wanjun fell asleep with a smile on her face, and General An Yong was lost in thought as he stared at her back.

General Anyong's mind became active: The emperor probably meant that he didn't dislike him just now, but what exactly does "Han Meng" mean?

Shangguan Wanjun, who was not fully awake yet, came to the side hall of the Golden Throne Hall. She walked into the main hall of the Golden Throne Hall resignedly. Minglan carefully helped her sit on the dragon throne.

The court officials trembled in their hearts when they saw the empress who was seven or eight months pregnant. The emperor must have had a hard time, having to attend court with a big belly. In comparison, they felt much better.

"The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Works have prepared food and fodder supplies, which will be brought back to the border by General Anyong in half a month."

The three ministers all said in unison: "Yes, we obey your order."

Shangguan Wanjun glanced around the room as usual and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally the Minister of Revenue Mu Qinghai stepped out.

"Your Majesty, this year's harvest is excellent, and tax revenues in various regions are higher than last year."

"That's a good thing. As long as the people live well, we will all be well."

General Xuanwei bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming, Concubine Xuan - Song Xuanyi and Youfufeng Nian Shanghua. The three of them felt her gaze and suddenly became nervous.

"Is there something wrong with you Jingzhao Yin? I suddenly can't remember it."

The Right Prime Minister laughed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, what about Long Yang's good deeds?"

Shangguan Wanjun excitedly said, "Yes, I said I forgot. So this is it."

The three of them frowned when they heard this, and Concubine Lu Liu Haiming bowed.

"Your Majesty, there has been some progress." Alas, the task of Jingzhao Yin is not easy.

Shangguan Wanjun saw the three people's expressions change slightly, and she didn't continue to pay attention, but turned to look at other people.

"What else do you have to say?"

Empress Dowager Xigong has been restless since yesterday and even woke up several times during the night.

Seeing her torturing herself like this, Aunt Cui also felt uncomfortable.

She tried to comfort him: "Queen Mother, please think more positively."

The Empress Dowager Xigong stirred the liquid with a handkerchief and even stood up and wandered around, which made Aunt Cui anxious.

"Ai... do you think my sister has already known about it?" She must have deliberately eliminated the children sent by the Zhang family.

Nanny Cui sighed, "Perhaps the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace did not mean it."

The Queen Mother of the Western Palace held onto the handle of the phoenix chair and sat down, and Nanny Cui hurriedly supported her.

"Sister is so smart, how could she not know? Besides, she has come into the Amber Mansion several times, it is impossible for her to not notice."

Nanny Cui sighed. She knew that what her master said was right. The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was the final winner of the previous harem, and her methods were not bad.

Shangguan Wanjun returned to the imperial study after court, and the secret guard whispered to her.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother Xigong seems a little unhappy today."

Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly: "You don't look well?"

"Yes."

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head in thought. She was afraid that her mother had failed to accomplish her loyal mission. She thought her mother must have been behind this. Should she go to Fushou Palace? But would it be too obvious?

Despite thinking so in her heart, Shangguan Wanjun still went to Fushou Palace. When the other concubines came to the main hall of the imperial study, they only saw Minglan.

In Fushou Palace, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace learned that the emperor had arrived and hurriedly asked Li Ma to go out and invite people.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you in."

"Thank you, Madam Li. Let's go."

Nanny Li smiled politely and nodded, walking behind Shangguan Wanjun and taking the same position as Liu Cheng.

Today, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was wearing a noble dark purple phoenix robe, with exquisite velvet flowers on both sides of her bun. Her earrings were made of pure gold, and they were short jade earrings that showed off her round face.

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

"The emperor is here, please sit down!"

Looking at her growing belly, she was a little worried about the later delivery.

"Are the babies okay?"

"Mother, everything is fine."

The Empress Dowager Donggong had some speculations about her daughter's sudden visit to Fushou Palace.

"Your Majesty, do you not need to review memorials today?"

"Didn't your Majesty Queen say that we should combine work and rest? I'll leave most of my time to the Imperial Consort and the others. After all, I'm not feeling well right now."

The Empress Dowager Donggong nodded and said, "Indeed, I wonder if the birth of your triplets will have any impact on you."

Shangguan Wanjun stroked her pregnant belly and smiled, "Master said I can leave after I give birth and have finished my confinement."

The Empress Dowager Donggong raised her eyes in surprise when she heard this: "That would make me feel more at ease, with Chen Daren and Zhao the doctor added."

Speaking of Zhao Xianyun, Shangguan Wanjun suddenly remembered something.

"Their wedding day should be approaching soon."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace looked up at her and said, "Marriage? Doctor Zhao?"

"Yes, mother, her marriage to the number one scholar is indeed a beautiful story."
