The wives of the concubines are empresses

"Husband, aren't you busy today?"

Noble Consort Wen - Bai Xuanyi smiled gently and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. I have just finished my work and am here. How is your Majesty today?"

"Okay, sit down."

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi sat beside her, looked down at her bulging pregnant belly, and reached out to touch it.

"Are the babies all right?"

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head and smiled gently: "Well, you were so well-behaved when you were little?"

Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi fell into deep thought, then sighed slightly.

"I'm really not sure about this. I'll have to ask mother. By the way, mother sent a letter to the palace, saying that she wanted to see the emperor."

"Then let Madam Anguo come to the palace tomorrow so she can have lunch with me."

"Okay, I'll write back to my mother when I get home."

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi suddenly stood up and squatted in front of Shangguan Wanjun, and everyone was confused.

"No, what are you doing?"

"My husband, listen to the fetal movements. I haven't heard them for several days. I miss them."

Shangguan Wanjun laughed when she heard this: "I find that my husband is sometimes like a child."

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi looked up in surprise: "Really?"

Shangguan Wanjun leaned forward, looked at him, and smiled, "What do you think, my husband?"

Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi lowered her head and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Madam, you are right. By the way, the Queen Mother has decided to let the Consort leave the day after tomorrow. Madam, would you like to go and see her off?"

Shangguan Wanjun's smile gradually faded and she suddenly fell silent.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi stretched out his clean and flawless hands to hold Shangguan Wanjun's hands, looking at her seriously.

"After all, your mother is your mother, so you should see her off the day after tomorrow."

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head and asked, "Have you arranged for the concubine from the Zhang family that Minglan chose for me?"

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi saw that she changed the subject and no longer insisted on that topic.

"It's arranged. Today is the day he moves in."

"Okay, the status I gave Da Jun is now equal to that of the Lan family."

Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi nodded slightly: "Yes."

The next day, the court meeting ended and Lady Anguo's carriage had already entered the palace gate. Madam Hu showed the token of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to the guards for inspection, and they registered it and let her pass.

Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi came to the outside of the imperial study and happened to meet her mother, Madam Anguo

"Mother."

Seeing the second son, Madam Anguo was still very happy, but she also remembered the rules and etiquette, bowing respectfully and saying, "Your Highness greets the Concubine Wen, the Lady."

"Mother, there's no need to be so polite." He helped Madam Anguo up and looked up at the door. It was Su Yude's turn to be on duty today.

"Eunuch Su, please inform me."

"Yes, Concubine Wen, please wait a moment with Madam Anguo."

Today, Shangguan Wanjun only asked Lianhua to give her a simple bun, with a golden dragon and phoenix hairpin inserted on each side. Paired with her light yellow dress with dandelion patterns, she looked dignified and simple.

"Your Majesty, Consort Wen and Madam Anguo have arrived outside the palace to request an audience."

Shangguan Wanjun, who had just finished a game of chess with Minglan, looked up and said, "Announce."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The mother and son walked over one after the other, and each of them bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

"My wife is here to see the Emperor."

Seeing Mrs. Anguo in a dark purple dress with auspicious cloud patterns, Shangguan Wanjun and her son smiled faintly.

"No gifts, please give me a seat!"

It can be seen that Mrs. Anguo has put a lot of effort into dressing up today, which shows her respect and attention to Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, I was planning to send a letter to the palace a few days ago to see you, but the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace issued an order for you to rest and recuperate, so I am a little late."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and said, "Mrs. Anguo is thoughtful."

"I brought some nutritious foods such as bird's nest, wolfberry, and red dates. Your Majesty can have them prepared for you in the future.

"Okay, thank you, Madam Anguo."

At the dinner table, seeing her son skillfully and naturally serving soup and picking up dishes for the empress, Mrs. Anguo felt much less worried. As long as the two of them were fine, it was enough. Parents only want their children to have a happy family and a peaceful and smooth life.

Seeing that the other party was distracted, Shangguan Wanjun looked at her in confusion.

"Madam Anguo, please eat quickly, or it will get cold and taste bad."

Madam Anguo suddenly came to her senses and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I was disrespectful in front of you. Please forgive me."

She had already hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully, her tone sincere, for fear of angering the empress who had not yet become angry.

"It's okay. This is a family dinner. It won't affect anything. Please get up quickly, Madam Anguo." Shangguan Wanjun sighed. Being the empress's mother-in-law was really stressful. Fortunately, she was not difficult to get along with, otherwise she would definitely be angry.

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

"Madam Anguo, please take a seat and eat more of this. Otherwise, I will finish it all in a while, which will be embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Anguo was amused by Shangguan Wanjun's light-hearted words.

"Your Majesty, you're joking. Even if you finish it, it won't be a problem. After all, you're eating enough for four people. But the children are very obedient. I hope Your Majesty will suffer less."

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Anguo. The babies are all doing well."

After lunch, Mrs. Anguo talked with Shangguan Wanjun for a while. Seeing her yawn, she stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I see you are feeling sleepy too. Please take a nap. I will take my leave for today."

Shangguan Wanjun just finished yawning and said, "Okay, then Noble Concubine Wen will see me off."

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyihong bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty, your husband will take mother out first."

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly waved her hand, and the two of them respectfully turned and left. Leaving the imperial study, Madam Anguo looked at her second son with a kind and doting smile.

"You're about to become a father. Are you excited?"

Concubine Wen, Bai Xuanyi, supported his mother and smiled gently, "Mother, naturally I am excited. What's more, having both a son and a daughter is a rare blessing and a happy event."

"Your Excellency is right. This is the first time I've seen this happen to me too. I didn't expect it to happen to my family. I'm looking forward to what the babies will look like."

The next day was the day when the Empress Dowager of the West Palace left the palace. It happened that she did not attend court today, but Shangguan Wanjun did not go to see the Empress Dowager of the West Palace off in person. Instead, she stood on the wall of the imperial city with Concubine Wu - the propaganda director and Chen Daren - Lin Xueyu, watching the carriage team going away.

The Queen Mother of the Western Palace was overwhelmed with sadness when she thought about the fact that her daughter had not come to see her off before she left. After all, her daughter blamed her.

Seeing her master's lost expression, Madam Cui couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would not have done it in the first place. She had tried to persuade him several times, but in the end she couldn't resist her own father's pretending to be pitiful and trying to gain sympathy. Her master was not very suitable for dealing with power and was easily led by the nose.

Shangguan Wanjun didn't know how long she stood there. She just looked at the figure of the carriageless team in front of her, and then she silently withdrew her gaze.

"Let's go back to the imperial study."

Concubine Wu Xuanhuafeng stepped forward and helped her walk down the stairs of the imperial city step by step.
