The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 368 The Empress's Sudden Appearance of Her Fiancé

Everyone admired the crops for an hour. Seeing that lunch time was approaching, the Minister of Agriculture hurried forward to report to Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, let's enjoy it for a while. Lunch will be ready."

"Okay, just look at the arrangements."

Shangguan Muchang was the happiest one who went out of the palace to have fun, especially walking through the paths between the rice fields and corn fields, which he found very interesting.

Seeing that the eldest son was having a lot of fun, Shangguan Wanjun was really happy for him.

"Cang'er, slow down a bit."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Yuan Siqi and Yuan Siyu, brother and sister, looked at Shangguan Muchang with envy. Shangguan Wanjun glanced at them and smiled.

"Qiqi Yuyu, go play with your brother."

When they heard this, they were overjoyed and bowed respectfully.

"Yes, Auntie."

As they watched the two turn around and run towards Shangguan Wanjun, all the adults had smiles in their eyes.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi smiled indulgently: "Your Majesty, look how happy they are having."

"No matter how mature and steady they are, they are still just three, four or five-year-old children. Children should have their own happiness."

Concubine Zhou, Zhengzhou Xing, nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is right."

The other two officials looked at each other. They felt that the empress's education of her children seemed a little different from that of others. She seemed more open-minded and knew how to respect the children's wishes.

The food on the table is all grown here, and everyone feels comfortable eating fresh vegetables.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi picked up some food for Shangguan Muchang. The little guy ate happily and didn't need to be fed at all. Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw him eating so obediently.

"Cang'er, eat more vegetables and have a more balanced diet."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Concubine Zhou Zhengzhouxing was also amused by the way he ate his meal so well, so she reached out and picked up a piece of lean meat for him with her chopsticks.

"Come, Prince, have some lean meat."

Shangguan Mucang raised his head and thanked him politely: "Thank you, my wife. You can eat too."

"it is good."

At this moment, Concubine Zhou - Zhengzhou Xing suddenly wanted to have such a cute and well-behaved child. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Shangguan Wanjun who was eating quietly and seriously.

I don’t know if I can have a child with the emperor in this life. He doesn’t pick sons and daughters, as long as it is a child they have together.

Originally, they were planning to continue to visit the crops after the meal, but shocking news came from the capital.

"What, my fiancé?"

The concubines were shocked. How come they didn’t know that the emperor had a fiancé?

Not to mention them, even Shangguan Wanjun herself was confused.

"Let's go back to the palace. I want to see who dares to pretend to be my fiancé. Does he want to have his entire clan executed?"

They came and went in a hurry, and everyone returned to the capital. After an hour and a half, they returned to the imperial study in the palace.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi supported Shangguan Wanjun and walked straight into the main hall of the imperial study. The two people waiting in the center caught their attention.

Shangguan Wanjun glanced at the two of them and found that one was too old and the other seemed too young.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi helped her sit down, and Shangguan Wanjun looked up at the man who had just knelt respectfully on the ground.

"I, a humble commoner, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."

Seeing his grandson still standing there stupidly, the old man quickly pulled him down to kneel.

"Your Majesty, I, your humble grandson, do not know the rules, so please forgive me."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the man. His behavior was completely like that of a child, and a doubt arose in her heart.

"What's your name?"

"I am a Quanmin. My only grandson is Quanran, who is fifteen this year."

"Fifteen? You said he is my fiancé, do you have any evidence?" She has lived for twenty years and has lived in this palace for twenty years, but she has never heard that she has a fiancé.

Fu Shou Palace

The Empress Dowager Donggong was admiring the lotus while sitting on a stone table eating delicious red date, wolfberry and lotus seed soup.

"Queen, this is bad."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace frowned slightly when she saw it.

Nanny Li frowned and shouted, "How disrespectful of you to act so recklessly."

The maid quickly knelt down and apologized: "This servant has lost his composure. Please, Queen Mother, punish me later. This servant has something more important to report."

"Go ahead."

"The Emperor has a fiancé."

The Empress Dowager Donggong frowned and looked at her: "What nonsense are you talking about."

The maid raised her head and said seriously, "This servant is not talking nonsense. This is true. The emperor has gone to the imperial study to meet with the two of them."

Upon hearing this, Matron Li said, "Empress Dowager, this...why don't we go and see what's going on?"

"Okay, let's set up the imperial study."

Madam Li bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

The atmosphere in the imperial study was not very good, and Shangguan Wanjun was shocked.

"What did you say? My father gave you a token of loyalty and a letter written in blood?" Oh my God, how could this be so outrageous?

Thinking of her father who had passed away long ago, Shangguan Wanjun was so angry that she had no place to vent.

There are many outrageous and melodramatic things in the world, but she didn't expect that she, a great emperor, would encounter it in person. Not only that, she was also the person involved. This was simply outrageous.

Liuli went to Fushou Palace in person to invite the Eastern Palace Queen Mother, but she never expected to meet her halfway.

"Your servant pays homage to the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace knew everyone close to Shangguan Wanjun: "Liuli, why are you here?"

"The Emperor invites you to the Imperial Study."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager Donggong was even more certain of the answer in her heart.

Looking at her father's jade pendant, Shangguan Wanjun felt a headache.

"Grand Tutor Wang, Minister of Revenue, have you ever seen this jade pendant of our father?"

Wang Taifu took it and examined it carefully. The jade pendant was made of green jade, with a very good texture and no impurities. Wang Taifu kept recalling his memories of contact with the late emperor, trying to find the jade pendant.

The Minister of Revenue, Mu Qinghai, was also observing from the side: "This jade pendant is made of very fine material. Just based on this, it must belong to a wealthy family, and only the upper class can afford it."

Noble Consort Wen, Bai Xuanyi, agreed, "Indeed, but the two adults still haven't recalled anything about the jade pendant?"

The two shook their heads regretfully. It had been too long and their memories were fuzzy. They really didn't remember it.

"The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace has arrived!"

Everyone knelt respectfully: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace."

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

Shangguan Muchang had already been taken to Xiangxuan Pavilion by Ouhe.

"Your Majesty, please excuse me. What is going on?" The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace bent down and helped Shangguan Wanjun up, only to see her shaking her head slightly.

"Mother, I just learned about this a while ago, but they said it was a jade pendant given by my father himself."

"Jade pendant? Where is it? Let me take a look."

Imperial Tutor Wang quickly and respectfully handed it to her: "Empress Dowager Donggong, please take a look."

The Empress Dowager Donggong took the jade pendant and said in shock, "Isn't this my birthday gift to the late emperor?"

Shangguan Wanjun looked up at her in shock: "Mother, did you give this jade pendant to my father?"

Oh my God, how could it be such a coincidence?

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace took a deep breath and said, "It is indeed a birthday gift from my family to the late emperor."

Then the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, and she looked at the whole process of the elderly.

"When did you obtain this jade pendant?"

"Your Majesty, this humble man acquired this twenty-two years ago, before your grandson was even born."

The Empress Dowager Donggong was now even more convinced: "My son, the time is right."
