The wives of the concubines are empresses

General Nan Shaoan woke up in his bedroom and found that everything around him was familiar. He looked around before realizing that it was his bedroom.

He rubbed his head and sat up: "Someone come."

As soon as he finished speaking, two palace maids pushed the door open and walked in.

"Lord Ce, please give your orders."

"Pour this General... this Princess a glass of water, and prepare some water for washing. I'm going to wash my face."

The palace maid bowed slightly and said, "Yes, my Lord."

After drinking a large glass of warm water, General Nan Shaoan felt his stomach felt much better.

"General, the fermented glutinous rice dumplings prepared for you will be served in a moment."

General Nan Shaoan was stunned: "Little dumplings with fermented glutinous rice wine? I don't want any."

The palace maid said, "It was specially ordered by the Emperor."

Hearing this, General Nan Shaoan's lips curled slightly.

"So it was the Emperor who said that. Then bring it here."

Anyway, he is such a big guy, so it won’t hurt if he drinks some fermented glutinous rice water.

After washing his face, General Nan Shaoan felt much more comfortable.

"Lord, the fermented glutinous rice dumplings are here."

General Nan Shaoan sat down at the small round table, picked up the tea, scooped it up with a spoon, blew on it gently, and took a sip to taste it.

"Well, not bad. By the way, what happened during the time I was away from the palace?"

The headmaster said, "Fifty new concubines have entered the harem. The eldest prince has begun to receive instruction from Li Taifu. In addition, there are young men from various families studying with him, including Baron Yuan and Tingzhu Yuan, who grew up with the eldest prince. They are also Lord Leng's children."

General Nan Shaoan drank fermented glutinous rice water while listening quietly.

"There's one more thing, but it's a little secret."

General Nan Shaoan was startled and looked up: "What's the matter?"

The officer leaned over and whispered a report in his ear. After hearing it, General Nan Shaoan narrowed his eyes.

General Nan Shaoan sighed: It seems that the emperor is not having a very good time in the palace. I just don’t know what the Queen Mother of the West Palace thinks about this matter. I think he has no way of knowing it, but the emperor may know something or two. He can ask about it one day. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you have the possibility of winning every battle. He never fights an unprepared battle.

Years of war experience have made him cautious, after all, war means casualties.

It was an hour later that Shangguan Wanjun woke up. She looked towards the couch, but did not see the figure of Concubine Wu - Xuanhuafeng. She was just about to get out of bed when Lianhua and Ouhe came in. Seeing that she was awake, they hurried forward.

"Your Majesty, you are awake!"

"Where is Concubine Wu?"

Ouhe explained, "Noble Consort Wu and General Nan are competing in a martial arts competition."

Shangguan Wanjun stood up and was stunned: "Where is it?"

Everyone walked towards the place where the two men were fighting. Listening to the sounds, Shangguan Wanjun guessed that both of them were fighting with bare hands.

"Why are they thinking of competing in martial arts?"

Ouhe said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu woke up and went out of the main hall to stretch her legs. She happened to meet General Nan. They exchanged a few words and then came here to compete in martial arts."

The two people who were fighting were stunned when they saw several familiar figures. They decided to end the fight first, after all, the emperor had arrived.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

Seeing the two people suddenly stop and walk over, Shangguan Wanjun sighed softly. She was actually just planning to appreciate it quietly for a while.

"Excuse me, you two don't want to compete anymore?"

The two looked at each other in confusion, and Concubine Wu made a tentative sound.

"Then let's compete?"

"Let's compare."

Liu Cheng arranged for someone to bring a chair, soft pillows and cushions. After everything was ready, Lianhua helped Shangguan Wanjun sit down.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

"It's still more comfortable to sit." Now that I'm further along in the pregnancy, it's really tiring to stand with a big pregnant belly.

Lianhua lowered her head and smiled, "Your Majesty, how about I give you a shoulder massage?"

Shangguan Wanjun's eyes lit up: "That's fine, thank you for your hard work."

Lianhua smiled respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are joking. This is my duty."

Shangguan Wanjun enjoyed her massage while admiring the duel between Concubine Wu Xuanfeng and General Nan Shaoan. Honestly, watching these two handsome, tall men duel was quite enjoyable.

However, no matter how much she enjoyed it, Shangguan Wanjun started to feel drowsy after watching the end.

When Liu Cheng saw this, he quickly ordered someone to bring a thick blanket and a soft pillow. He took them and placed them carefully on Shangguan Wanjun's right side, where her head fell.

Seeing that it did not affect their master, Liu Cheng, Lianhua, Minglan and others were obviously relieved.

Concubine Wu - The two people who were fighting each other closely with General Nan Shaoan also noticed Shangguan Wanjun's movements later.

General Nan Shaoan was stunned for a moment. Are all pregnant women so sleepy?

"The Emperor is asleep."

Concubine Wu - Xuanhua Feng withdrew his hand and looked at the person who was sleeping soundly.

"The emperor is often like this when he is pregnant." But he was more worried about whether she would be cold.

When he approached, Shangguan Wanjun suddenly woke up from her drowsiness. When Concubine Wu saw this, she was stunned and bent down to squat.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside. Let me carry you back to the Imperial Study."

Shangguan Wanjun was still a little confused. She was stunned when she heard his words. She looked at herself and found that she had fallen asleep unintentionally.

"Are you done?"

Concubine Wu nodded gently: "Yes, Your Majesty, your husband will carry you back."

General Nan Shaoan also came over. Shangguan Wanjun felt it was very embarrassing to be hugged in broad daylight. She was too embarrassed.

"I'll go on my own."

Wu Guifei - Propaganda Feng smiled tenderly and dotingly upon hearing this: "Okay, then your minister will help you."

"it is good."

The three of them walked back slowly. Shangguan Wanjun's body was usually warmer after she became pregnant, even in such a cold season.

In the imperial study, Liu Cheng hurriedly took the thick moonlight-colored cloak with a woolen collar that Concubine Wu had taken off for Shangguan Wanjun and handed it to the palace maid beside him to keep.

Su Yude came back early to adjust the indoor temperature. He burned several pots of coal, and the temperature in the main hall was just right.

"Compared to this, it's really too cold outside."

General Nan Shaoan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Aunt Cheng came over with a food box. When Shangguan Wanjun saw her and the food box in her hand, she roughly guessed what it was.

"aunt."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May Your Majesty be well and at peace!"

Shangguan Wanjun stared at the food box in her hand and asked, "Aunt, please don't be polite. What are you carrying?"

"We have steamed buns, steamed dumplings, brown sugar rice cakes, and pumpkin cakes."

Shangguan Wanjun was delighted to hear this and looked forward to the snacks that Aunt Cheng brought out.

After Liu Cheng had tested the poison with the silver needle, Aunt Cheng said softly and lovingly, "Your Majesty, please try it."

Shangguan Wanjun picked up a hot steamed dumpling with chopsticks, put it to her mouth and took a bite. The aroma of the vegetables and meat in the dumpling immediately emanated.

Look at how happy she is while eating, and how dotingly Concubine Wu and General Nan Shaoan are smiling.
