The wives of the concubines are empresses

Shangguan Wanjun, who had gotten enough sleep, drank a bowl of millet porridge with red dates and wolfberries, and ate a white flour bun, a cornmeal bun, and a plate of small buns filled with red bean paste.

Such a situation left Concubine Hua Tang Yihua stunned.

The emperor can eat so much?

Feeling his gaze, Shangguan Wanjun smiled.

"Do you think I'm a good eater?"

The caught concubine Hua Tang Yihua blushed shyly and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay to be able to eat. There's a saying that being able to eat is a blessing, and people who can eat are blessed. Anyway, as long as you're in good shape and eat and drink as you should, everyone should have some aspirations."

Lianhua, Muxiang and Ouhe looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The emperor was brainwashing people again.

After listening to the emperor's explanation, Concubine Hua Tang Yihua felt that it made sense.

"The emperor said so."

Shangguan Wanjun’s life motto: eat well and sleep well.

Eating well can satisfy you, but forget about sleeping well. As an emperor, with so many state affairs to deal with, it would be strange if you could sleep well.

Since sleeping well is not enough to satisfy you, then living well and dressing well can be considered as compensation. People should be content with what they have.

Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi was shocked to learn that the emperor slept in the Summer Palace until 9:55 in the morning. Could it be that the two of them had performed the Zhougong ceremony?

But the emperor has clearly stated that he doesn't want to have sex before the age of sixteen, so he probably won't.

Chen Lie saw that his concubine looked unhappy and spoke to comfort him.

"Concubine, the Emperor is treating everyone equally. After all, this is the first time he has visited Concubine Hua's place."

Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi nodded in agreement. "You are right. The emperor is a wise ruler and will not favor anyone. Treating everyone equally is her last resort."

Summer Palace

The study was filled with books belonging to Concubine Hua Tang Yihua. Her dowry was not large, but the only thing she had was books.

"You have quite a few books. It seems that my husband is also a well-read person."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for making fun of you. I spend my days in the palace relying on books."

Shangguan Wanjun was wearing a turquoise dress today, which looked a bit like a couple's outfit compared to Concubine Hua Tang Yihua's.

"When I was a princess, I also loved reading storybooks to pass the time. In this respect, we are quite similar."

The young man smiled gently, like a spring breeze, like the warm spring sun, even the coldness in his body dissipated a little.

Shangguan Wanjun was attracted by the plum blossom paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall.

"This painting is quite good, but I don't know who painted it."

After hearing what the other party said, Concubine Hua Tang Yihua spoke out to confirm.

"Your Majesty, do you really think this painting is good?"

"Yes, look at the flowing style of the painting, just like a real plum blossom in full bloom. It's a good painting."

Concubine Hua Tang Yihua agreed with her.

"Also, the person who created this painting must have been thinking of something happy when he was painting. The whole painting style is not only smooth, but also carries a smile and nostalgia."

Huapin Tang Yihua was deeply shocked. It was the first time he heard someone evaluate his paintings so seriously.

"Your Majesty, this painting was painted by me. Thank you for your praise. I don't deserve it."

Shangguan Wanjun was surprised and said, "No wonder you drew it."

"what?"

“This painting has your temperament.”

Concubine Hua Tang Yihua smiled gently and said, "If Your Majesty likes it, I can give it to Your Majesty as a gift."

"Then I will not hesitate to take away the love of my beloved concubine. Please don't feel bad."

Hearing the girl's playful laughter, Concubine Hua Tang Yihua couldn't help but laugh along.

"Your Majesty, please take it."

"Okay, have someone bring it with you when you return to the palace."

Concubine Hua Tang Yihua relaxed her brows and smiled faintly.

"it is good."

Thinking of ancient paintings, Shangguan Wanjun became interested.

"Why don't you teach me how to paint?" She hasn't tried it yet.

Concubine Hua Tang Yihua was surprised that the emperor actually took the initiative to learn calligraphy and painting?

"Why, my beloved concubine doesn't want to? Then I won't force you."

Kang Jiandu panicked, "Your Majesty, that's not what the young master meant."

"Your Majesty, I have no such intention. I am just surprised that Your Majesty would want to learn painting."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun smiled slightly.

"Killing time is one thing, finding something relaxing to do in my free time. Actually, the most important thing is that I want to draw myself, but this may be a bit difficult for me."

Concubine Hua Tang Yihua never thought that the emperor's answer would be so simple, but when he thought about the second half of the sentence, he was a little confused.

“Why do you want to draw yourself?”

"I want to see myself in the painting." I just don't know if it looks good.

"That's it." He suddenly realized.

"If Your Majesty doesn't mind, how about I paint a picture for you?"

Shangguan Wanjun was surprised. "Really? Then quickly draw it. How can I cooperate with you?"

"Or the emperor can rest his eyes on the chaise longue, so that you can relax a little."

Shangguan Wanjun agreed immediately and was helped by Lianhua to the luxurious chaise longue.

Shangguan Wanjun tidied her appearance, supported her head with her hands and closed her eyes to rest.

The palace maids opened the easels, and Kang Jiandu was grinding ink carefully beside them.

Huapin Tang Yihua picked up the pen and began to paint. After adding beautiful eyes to the characters in his paintings, they began to have charm and demeanor. The whole painting seemed to have a finishing touch and was vivid and alive.

Kang Jiandu exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Ce, your painting is really beautiful."

Guard Mu Qingfeng also looked up and thought it was very good.

Concubine Hua Tang Yihua was very satisfied with the painting she had just completed.

But when he walked into the chaise longue, he heard a small snoring sound and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

The emperor was really able to sleep and fell asleep after sitting for a while.

He took the pillow beside him, bent down, reached out to take away the emperor's jade hand, stuffed the pillow in, gently put the sleeping girl down, adjusted her posture, and asked someone to bring a thin blanket and gently cover her.

Kang Jiandu had never seen his young master so gentle, but today he had seen it no less than five times.

It turns out that the young master also has such gentle moments. I used to think that he lived too coldly.

When Shangguan Wanjun woke up, she felt a slight cool breeze. She looked up and saw that it was Ouhe fanning her.

"I actually fell asleep."

She looked around but didn't see anyone, so she asked in confusion, "Where's Mr. Hua?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine just went to take a nap. Do you need me to call him?"

"No need, let him sleep well. I'll go for a walk and move around." He was almost lying down.

After leisurely strolling through the entire Summer Palace, Shangguan Wanjun felt much better.

"Go and tell them to take the memorials to the Summer Palace. I will handle government affairs there today." Although she did not have to attend the morning court or classes, she still had to handle government affairs and review memorials.

When Concubine Hua Tang Yihua woke up, it was already five minutes past noon.

At this time, Shangguan Wanjun had reviewed fifteen memorials.

"Your Majesty, lunch is ready."

Liu Cheng was waiting in the imperial study, expecting any breaking news at any time.

The one who spoke was Mu Xiang, and Shangguan Wanjun smiled at her gently.

"Okay, let's eat first."

She had taken a nap, had lunch and took a walk to digest the food, and then she could go straight to the government affairs.

Concubine Hua Tang Yihua came to the dining hall and saw a girl walking towards her with a smile on her face.
