The wives of the concubines are empresses

Whenever the empress traveled in a phoenix carriage, the palace maids would kneel and pay their respects wherever she went.

Shangguan Wanjun's face looked extremely ugly at the moment, and Minglan was even a little worried about her health.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your body. You are pregnant." Alas, other emperors may also have difficulty encountering such things, but at least they are not pregnant. Her master has it really hard.

Shangguan Wanjun said nothing and remained silent all the way until she stopped outside the imperial study.

"Get off the sedan!"

Minglan and Lianhua hurriedly bent down to help her down. The three of them walked into the hall and sat down on the soft couch in the main hall.

Looking at the teacup in front of her, Shangguan Wanjun picked it up angrily and threw it on the ground. The teacup immediately broke into pieces. The palace maids were frightened by this sudden scene and knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

Noble Consort Wen - Bai Xuanyi and Noble Consort Wu - Xuanchuanfeng, who had just arrived at the palace gate, were startled and walked in with big strides. Seeing the broken teacup pieces on the ground and the furious emperor, they looked at each other silently and hurried forward to Shangguan Wanjun's side.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

Seeing them, Shangguan Wanjun was slightly stunned.

"Why are you here together?"

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi was worried about her body and the children in her belly, so he walked up to Shangguan Wanjun and sat down next to her.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Concubine Wu - Publicity Wind worriedly echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

When Shangguan Wanjun thought about the bad thing that happened to her, she felt as if someone was strangling her throat and it made her uncomfortable.

Shangguan Wanjun sneered and said, "My mother said that we should add another concubine to the harem. She said that one more concubine in my harem would not be too many."

The two looked at each other, and Concubine Wu was speculating.

"But they are from my mother's family?"

Shangguan Wanjun nodded silently.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi frowned and reached out to hold Shangguan Wanjun's hand, which was a little swollen due to pregnancy.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Shangguan Wanjun sighed: "My mother, what can I do? Besides, my mother said she gave birth to me."

At this point, what else do the two of them not understand?

Shangguan Wanjun felt upset and heartbroken. She had treated her mother sincerely, but in the end, she got such a result.

"Noble Concubine Wen."

"My husband is here."

"Find me the most remote palace." Since you want to send someone in, then she will satisfy you, but she can't control whether the outsider is favored or not.

Noble Consort Wen - Bai Xuanyi understood what she meant: "Your Highness will do it well and will definitely satisfy His Majesty."

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly. Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi also shared the same thoughts with her. Many times he could understand her actions and ideas.

After resolving this matter, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Concubine Wu and ordered: "Concubine Wu, please help me investigate the Zhang family and select five people for me. They are handsome but ordinary, and they can't read or write. I want to give them away, so I will fulfill their wishes. I want to see how these ordinary-looking people who can't do anything can be favored."

These people are willing to offend her and take huge risks to fight for power and wealth, so why shouldn't she help them? The higher you stand, the harder you fall.

As an emperor, she hasn't taken action against any family for a long time. Now she is starting with the Anbo Mansion to make an example of them. She wants to see if there is anyone else who is not afraid of death and comes forward.

In the following days, Shangguan Wanjun no longer went to Anhe Palace to visit Empress Dowager Xigong, and even stopped going to Fushou Palace.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was afraid that Shangguan Wanjun would get sick if she kept everything in her heart, so she decided to go to the imperial study to see her in person.

In the main hall of the Imperial Study, Empress Dowager Xigong earnestly advised, "My son, no matter what, the Zhang family is also your maternal grandparents' family. You must at least take care of them."

The Shu Concubine Gao Zihao, the Hui Concubine Feng Jinghan, and the Wu Concubine Zhu Wu were reviewing memorials, but they never expected that the Empress Dowager Xigong would come to the imperial study in person, which surprised them.

However, what surprised them even more was that the Empress Dowager Xigong actually came to force the Emperor to take a concubine, which shocked the three of them.

The Empress Dowager Xigong originally wanted to ask several concubines to step aside, but she never expected that her own prince did not understand her meaning. Thinking of her father who wrote a letter to urge him, she had to go to the imperial study in person to put some pressure on her.

Shangguan Wanjun didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly, which made the Empress Dowager Xigong feel a little nervous.

When Empress Dowager Xigong was about to speak, Shangguan Wanjun opened her mouth.

"Okay, but I will choose the candidate myself." This time she no longer called herself "son and minister", but "I". The three concubines noticed the change in her address.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager Xigong smiled with satisfaction: "Mother, you will know that the emperor is from your maternal grandfather's family."

Shangguan Wanjun said calmly: "My heart is the world."

Empress Dowager Xigong was suddenly stunned. She looked at her sitting daughter in some disbelief. She felt that she was a little strange at the moment.

"Huang'er, have you been too tired recently? That's why..."

Shangguan Wanjun didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore, so she interrupted her and said, "Mother, please go back to the palace. I'm tired."

At this moment, Empress Dowager Xigong felt a little uneasy, and she stepped forward and held her daughter's hand.

"My prince, you are not feeling well. Let the imperial physician come and see you."

Shangguan Wanjun looked down at her mother's hand and pulled her hand away in front of everyone.

"No, I understand my own body."

When Empress Dowager Xigong saw her daughter treating her like this, she began to panic.

"My dear, are you blaming Mother?"

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the Empress Dowager Xigong with an expressionless face, as if she was a stranger, which made the Empress Dowager Xigong feel uneasy.

"Mother, are you speaking to me as the Queen Mother, or as a mother, or as a married woman?"

After three questions in a row, the Queen Mother Xigong was speechless. She looked up and tried to find words to cover up her mistakes.

"Of course, my mother is here as a mother."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled bitterly, and finally sneered at herself.

"Really? What loving mother would force her daughter to do that? In my mother's heart, I will never be able to compare to my grandparents, right?"

This time she was just talking to her mother as a daughter, and the Queen Mother Xigong suddenly staggered, and Nanny Cui supported her in time.

"Queen Mother, please be careful."

The Book Concubine - Gao Zihao and the Flower Concubine - Feng Jinghan suddenly felt sorry for Shangguan Wanjun. In the past, they always saw the decisive empress, but they often forgot that she was also a woman, but an extraordinary woman.

"It's not like that. Mother has you in her heart." The Empress Dowager Xigong hurriedly reached out to grab Shangguan Wanjun's jade hand, but she dodged it. The Empress Dowager Xigong was stunned again.

"Haha, is that so? But you still choose to force me, your daughter, the emperor."

Empress Dowager Xigong shook her head: "No."

"Do you believe it? If you didn't force me to do so, why would you appear here today? I am your child, born after ten months of pregnancy. Am I not as good as my grandfather and others?" To this day, she is really disappointed with this mother.
