The wives of the concubines are empresses

The virtuous concubine of the Ministry of Industry, Mu Wennian, was so busy with official duties that he had long forgotten that Shangguan Wanjun was about to leave her confinement. But he was not anxious, as there were many people who were anxious for him.

Mu Wenya, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the Mu family, came to the Ministry of Works with a task assigned by her mother.

Mo Youyan came to his concubine and said, "Concubine, the eldest lady is here."

De Fei - Mu Wennian was startled and looked up: "Ya'er?"

"Yes."

Mu Wenya, wearing a bright goose yellow dress, came and stood in front of Concubine De - Mu Wennian.

"Third brother."

Concubine De-Mu Wennian looked up at her younger sister who had reached marriageable age.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to see you and to show some concern for my sister-in-law, the Empress."

Seeing her being naughty, Concubine De-Mu Wennian smiled dotingly.

"The Emperor has been doing well recently. Do you miss her?"

Mu Wenya didn't want to say it too directly: "I think so. The emperor's sister-in-law is so beautiful and gentle, and she speaks softly. I like her the most."

Mo Youyan, who was standing quietly at the side, frowned and whispered something in Shuai Changzhao's ear.

"Why does the eldest lady seem to be talking strangely? She always brings things up about the emperor."

Shuai Changzhao frowned and pursed his lips before saying, "There has indeed been a big event recently."

Mo Youyan was startled and looked up. He lowered his voice and asked, "What? How come I don't know?"

"The Emperor will soon be out of confinement."

Mo Youyan still didn't understand: "I know this."

Seeing his innocent look, Shuai Changzhao sighed.

"The Emperor has come out of confinement, which means the concubines in the harem should start sleeping with him as usual."

Mo Youyan's eyes widened in shock: "Hey, you're right."

He said he seemed to have forgotten something recently, and it turned out to be this.

After listening to his younger sister's chatter for a long time, Defei Mu Wennian also felt that something was wrong. He looked up at his younger sister helplessly.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mu Wenya was a little shy. She took a note and stuffed it into the hands of her third brother.

"See for yourself." Then he turned and ran away. Mo Youyan and Shuai Changzhao were stunned.

Mo Youyan frowned: "No, why did the eldest lady leave? She has only been here for a short time."

Defei - Mu Wennian opened the note and clenched it in his fist again. He finally understood why his younger sister was acting so strangely today. So this is it.

De Fei - Mu Wennian was a little uneasy: How many days does the emperor have left for the confinement period? He found that he suddenly couldn't remember

At this moment, he felt a little regretful that he had used official duties to numb himself during this period of time, putting himself in a passive situation.

Shangguan Wanjun didn't know that the concubines in the harem were competing for her favor invisibly, and she herself began to exercise.

Lianhua held her master's legs tightly together, feeling a little distressed when she saw her doing sit-ups non-stop.

"Your Majesty, you have already made twenty. That is enough."

"Ten more."

"Ok."

After Shangguan Wanjun finished her sit-ups, she started doing stretching exercises, stretching both her hands and feet.

The next day, seeing that the Right Prime Minister still asked for leave to rest, Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly.

"After court today, I will go to the mansion to see him."

Xuanpin Song Xuanyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible. You are still in confinement after childbirth. It is not appropriate for you to leave the palace and be exposed to the cold wind."

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming echoed: "Your Majesty, what Concubine Xuan said makes sense, please think twice."

Many court officials also came forward to oppose Shangguan Wanjun leaving the palace to visit the right prime minister. After all, their emperor was still in confinement after childbirth.

Shangguan Wanjun was also someone who listened to advice: "Okay, let's talk about it after these few days."

Imperial Tutor Li bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."

After processing ten memorials, Shangguan Wanjun began to move her fingers. She crossed her hands and pressed them down, then slowly stretched them upwards to the front, and then retracted them to her chest, stretching her fingers in a wavy line.

Concubine Yun - Zhao Yunfan looked up inadvertently and saw it, his face full of confusion.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, General Nan Shaoan, Concubine Ran, and Concubine Ran - Wang Ran, who had been working on memorials with their heads down, also raised their heads and looked at Shangguan Wanjun who was still stretching.

"Stretch your fingers and arms. Why don't you try it? It will feel better."

Yunpin-Zhao Yunfan tried to imitate her movements, and Shangguan Wanjun nodded when she saw that he was doing it well.

"Yes, that's right. You have to be soft. This is to train your flexibility."

General Nan Shaoan and Concubine Ran - Wang Ran also followed Shangguan Wanjun's movements. The four of them had a lot of fun, and Shangguan Wanjun also enjoyed being a teacher.

After reviewing the memorials, Shangguan Wanjun suddenly stood up, and the three concubines followed suit.

"I'm going to see the little princess. Are you coming?"

Ranpin - Wang Ran smiled gently and said: "Your Highness will also go to see the little princess."

General Nan Shaoan echoed, "Your Highness will go too."

Concubine Yun - Zhao Yunfan quickly agreed: "My husband and I will be together."

He took a few big strides forward to Shangguan Wanjun, and reached out to help her walk towards the side hall.

At this time, the little princess Shangguan Muyu suddenly burst into tears, and the wet nurse and the palace maids were terrified.

"It's over, why did this little princess suddenly start crying?"

Hearing her daughter crying, Shangguan Wanjun quickened her pace and went to the side hall.

"What's wrong? This is happening." The wet nurse knelt down and apologized immediately.

"Your Majesty, the little princess suddenly started crying for some reason and she wouldn't stop crying no matter what we did." It's over. Will the emperor blame them for not taking good care of the little princess?

Shangguan Wanjun bent down and took her daughter from her arms: "Come, let me hold you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please go slower."

Shangguan Wanjun carefully held her daughter and began to coax her, patting the swaddling clothes with one hand.

"Be good, my dear daughter. The Queen Mother is here."

Shangguan Muyu's tearful eyes were heartbreaking to see, and Shangguan Wanjun, the queen mother, was also heartbroken.

"My dear daughter, don't cry, don't cry. Your mother is here to see you. Look, your father and the others are here to see you too. If you cry any more, you will be ashamed."

The wet nurses were surprised to see Shangguan Muyu no longer crying, but they were also very happy that the little princess had stopped crying. After all, it was heartbreaking to see such a young child crying.

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Shangguan Wanjun leaned over and kissed her little face.

"Our little princess is so well-behaved. Queen Mother will reward you with a nursery rhyme." She sat down on the soft couch holding Shangguan Muyu, gently patting her in the cradle with one hand.

"In April, the wheat is yellow,

Every family's fields are bustling with activity;

A three-year-old child searches for grass for cattle,

An eighty-year-old father-in-law brings tea."

Listening to her down-to-earth nursery rhymes, the three of them were surprised, and General Nan Shaoan exclaimed in surprise.

"The emperor can sing children's songs, which is beyond your expectation."

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and looked at him with a gentle smile: "You have been living in the borderland for many years. Are there any nursery rhymes there?"

General Nan Shaoan stepped forward and stood beside Shangguan Wanjun, leaning over to tease Shangguan Muyu.

"Yes, many."

Shangguan Wanjun said in a half-hearted voice, "Yes, can you sing for our little princess?"

General Nan Shaoan smiled softly and lovingly: "My husband just happened to remember a children's song.

My brother passed the examination and became a scholar.

The cart pusher, the cart grinder,

Send my brother to school.

My elder brother studied for three years.

The first test will produce a scholar.

……

The golden key opens the silver box,

My wife's room is full of light."
