The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 307: The Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace embroiders bellybands for her grandchildren

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace smiled softly: "Yes, my mother has forgotten. They can be considered as lovers who finally get married."

Shangguan Wanjun agreed: "Well, if we can bring them together, then that's a good match. But they still look like a good couple."

The Empress Dowager Donggong smiled when she heard her daughter say this: "You do have the potential to be a matchmaker."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled slightly and looked up: "Your son thinks knocking people is quite fun, especially when you can see the flowers bloom and bear fruit with your own eyes."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace covered her face and smiled: her son was still kind-hearted, and fortunately he had all the necessary methods of an emperor. This was another of her great advantages, as she was more humane than the emperors of the past.

Shangguan Wanjun always asked her mother questions directly, but also in a tactful way.

"Mother, you and I went to select concubines yesterday. I heard that the thirty candidates I selected were directly selected?"

"Yes, since the emperor has chosen her, she must have some advantages."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and lowered her eyes: "Mother, you really understand me too well."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace scolded: "You were raised by my mother, how could she not know what you are thinking?"

Looking at her mother's serious eyes, Shangguan Wanjun was moved and smiled and nodded.

"Well, what the Queen Mother said is right."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace reached out and stroked her daughter's round cheek, smiling at her gentle features.

"The emperor is getting more and more handsome as he grows older."

Shangguan Wanjun was embarrassed by what she said: "Really? I have gained a lot of weight."

"What are you afraid of? You are pregnant now, but it's different from usual."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly: "That's what my mother said."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace stroked her hand and patted it gently: "Mother has always stood by you."

After Shangguan Wanjun left, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace kept looking at the door. Seeing her so absorbed in thought, Nanny Li couldn't help but remind her.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor has left."

The Empress Dowager Donggong retracted her gaze and said, "Please bring out Ai's embroidery."

Matron Li bowed and said, "Yes, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace continued to pick up the needle and thread to embroider. As the imperial grandmother, she wanted to make bellybands for the three imperial grandsons and granddaughters in her daughter's belly, because it was her intention as the imperial grandmother.

The bellyband she held was bright red, embroidered with a cute white rabbit. It was for the emperor's granddaughter. As for the two grandsons, she planned to embroider a tiger and a wolf. Her craftsmanship wasn't particularly good, but it was passable.

Nanny Li sat aside with her master, holding her own embroidery. She also embroidered three exquisite and beautiful purses with the words "peace and happiness" on them for the three unborn little masters.

"Madame Li, how's your embroidery of the purse going?"

Hearing this, Nanny Li showed the purse to the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace: "Empress Dowager, please take a look."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace pinned the needle on her bellyband and reached out to take her purse.

"The Ping An Fu purse is pretty good. You are thoughtful."

"You are joking, Your Majesty. These are just a small gift from your servant."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace smiled gently, lowered her head and continued to embroider, and Nanny Li also continued to sit down and embroider with her head lowered.

During the meal, Shangguan Wanjun was in a good mood and drank an extra bowl of soup and ate an extra bowl of rice, which made Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi, General Anyong, and Concubine Wu - Zhu Wu look at each other silently.

"The Emperor seems to be in a good mood today."

Hearing the words of Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi, Shangguan Wanjun smiled gently.

"Yes, I am happy, and the babies in my belly are happy too."

Thinking of her unborn son and daughter, Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi's eyes were as gentle as water.

"By the way, Your Majesty, can those brothers who have just entered the palace be arranged to receive training from my aunt?"

"Arrangements have been made. Now that you have officially entered the palace, you should learn the palace rules and etiquette carefully. I will leave the etiquette matters to you and Aunt Cheng."

It feels good to have someone to tell you what to do.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After lunch, Shangguan Wanjun felt sleepy as usual after eating and drinking. Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi saw her yawning and his eyes were full of heartache.

"Your Majesty, let me help you take a nap."

"Okay, I feel sleepy after eating and drinking." This feeling is quite uncomfortable, but there is no way, after all, she is pregnant, and she has to sleep as many as four people.

In the bedroom of the side hall, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi helped Shangguan Wanjun lie down, took off her shoes, socks and jewelry, laid her flat on the bed, and carefully covered her with a quilt.

Seeing her snoring softly, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi smiled dotingly. He leaned over and kissed Shangguan Wanjun's soft lips. Shangguan Wanjun might have sensed it, and she was a little dazed and a little conscious.

"If you kiss me secretly, I will punish you."

Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi laughed when he heard it: The emperor is quite cute when he falls asleep.

He took off his shoes, socks, outer shirt and outer robe, leaving only his inner clothes and lying down next to Shangguan Wanjun. He tilted his head to look at the peacefully sleeping person, his eyes full of tenderness. Slowly, he felt sleepy and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shangguan Wanjun slept for a full hour and a half, and it was already 1:15 PM.

She suddenly opened her eyes and woke up. Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi was no longer beside her. She slowly sat up and suddenly heard light footsteps. She looked outside the bed curtain.

"Your Majesty, you are awake."

"Couhe, what time is it?"

"It's the afternoon."

Shangguan Wanjun was shocked: Isn’t this just three hours in the previous life? My nap is quite long.

Seeing that her master was about to get up, Ouhe hurried forward and carefully helped her up.

"Your Majesty, please slow down."

"How are they handling the memorials?"

"Lord Ming is watching. There are quite a lot of memorials today, and the three side lords are having a hard time handling them."

Shangguan Wanjun sat down at the dressing table, and Ouhe began to tidy up her hair and put on those exquisite headdresses and earrings again.

Lianhua came in and saw that Shangguan Wanjun had already tidied her hair, so she took her clothes from the side and walked behind Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, you should wear this turquoise dress this afternoon. It goes well with your hair accessories."

"it is good."

After everything was sorted out, Lianhua helped Shangguan Wanjun to the outside of the main hall of the imperial study.

Seeing the emperor coming, the three of them saluted respectfully: "Your servants pay their respects to the emperor."

Shangguan Wanjun sat gracefully on the armchair and raised her hand gently: "No need to be polite, please sit down."

The three of them expressed their gratitude and said, "Your Majesty, we, your servants, thank you."

After the three of them sat down, Shangguan Wanjun looked at the desk in front of them.

"How many memorials are left?"

Concubine Wu Zhu Wu said calmly, "Your Majesty, there are less than one-fifth of the memorials left."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly, and Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi spoke.

"Your Majesty, please sit down and rest for a while, or play with Bai Xue for a while."

Shangguan Wanjun was not pretentious and agreed readily.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will start petting the cat seriously."

She doesn't have to deal with memorials, can pet cats, and look at her handsome husbands from time to time. Isn't that a pleasure?
