The wives of the concubines are empresses

After more than ten rounds, the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace smiled.

"My son, your chess skills have improved again." This is a good thing. Life is like chess, and every move you make is not easy.

"Mother, you are the one who gave in to me."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace smiled gently, like a spring breeze.

"Help the mother and go out for a walk."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and nodded, then stood up and helped her to the courtyard. Looking at the blue sky and the sunny weather, Shangguan Wanjun felt her heart warm up. She looked up at her mother beside her and pursed her lips.

"Mother, you should go out for a walk on weekdays, especially when the weather is sunny. You can't stay in the palace all the time."

"Okay, I'll listen to your advice. Since you're not busy anyway, why don't you accompany me to see the grandchildren?"

"Okay." Thinking of the children, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but smile.

"I wonder if the eldest princess still recognizes my royal grandmother."

"You are so gentle, dignified, generous, beautiful, kind and loving. How could the eldest princess not like you?"

Her words made the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace smile so much that she couldn't stop, and her smile never left her face.

"Your little mouth, did you put honey on it before coming here?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun raised her hand to cover her lips and laughed.

In Xiangxuan Pavilion, Shangguan Muchang, Yuan Siqi and Yuan Siyu were teasing the second prince, the third prince and the eldest princess.

"Second brother, third brother, sister, I am the eldest brother Shangguan Muchang, do you remember that?"

Yuan Siqi couldn't help laughing when he saw him teasing his younger siblings: "Brother, the eldest prince, you have to repeat this several times a day."

Yuan Siyu followed her elder brother's words and said, "Yes, I can recite it all."

The three of them looked at each other and giggled. The whole palace was filled with their laughter, and even the palace servants started laughing.

"Look, the eldest prince, the baron, and the pavilion master are all laughing happily."

"That's right. Our Xiangxuan Pavilion is the best. Although there are many masters, big and small, here you don't have to make so many calculations. Just do your job well. Master Leng and Master Youyou won't say anything."

"Yes, I heard that many people want to come to our palace."

"Then we must work even harder to do our job well, so as not to be snatched away by others."

"indeed."

A voice announced: "The Queen Mother has arrived, the Emperor has arrived!"

The palace maids all knelt and bowed: "Greetings to the Queen Mother, greetings to the Emperor."

Shangguan Wanjun supported the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and walked step by step into the hall, raising her hands as she looked at the palace maids kneeling on the ground.

"No need to be polite, everyone stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."

The three children stood obediently. When the two men got closer, Shangguan Muchang and Yuan Siqi bowed together, and Yuan Siyu bowed slightly.

"Grandson greets the Imperial Grandmother, and this subject greets the Empress."

"I have met the Queen Mother and the Imperial Aunt."

Looking at the three children who were growing more and more handsome, the Empress Dowager Donggong nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, it seems that you three have been eating seriously recently. You are not picky about food on weekdays."

Shangguan Mucang said with a smile, "Grandmother, I'm not picky about food. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Siqi."

When Yuan Siqi heard the eldest prince mention him, he quickly bowed and replied.

"Replying to the Queen Mother, what the eldest prince's younger brother said is true."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace smiled kindly, then looked at Yuan Siyu who was standing quietly.

"We're Yuyu."

"Replying to Your Majesty, Yuyu is a bit picky about food."

"Oh, what kind of food?"

"That pork liver and celery is too disgusting. Yuyu doesn't like it."

The Empress Dowager Donggong laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Haha, if you don't like it, then don't eat it. We can still eat other dishes."

Yuan Siyu smiled sweetly and nodded: "Well, are the Queen Mother and the Imperial Aunt here to see my brothers and sisters? They just fell asleep."

"Really? That's really unfortunate. My dear, let's go and take a look."

When passing by Yuan Siyu, Shangguan Wanjun reached out a hand and touched her head, and Yuan Siyu smiled so much that dimples appeared.

Facing her plump grandchildren, the Empress Dowager Donggong was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.

"Look at them! They are so cute! My son is so good at giving birth! They are all fair and rosy, and can be the dolls in the New Year pictures."

Listening to her mother praising her biological mother as well, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but smile and lowered her head.

"Mother, your ability to praise people has reached a new level."

"What I said is from the bottom of my heart. I really want to hug them, but unfortunately they fell asleep."

"Why don't you come play with them tomorrow, Queen Mother? I'm sure the babies will be very happy."

Shangguan Muchang came to the side of the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace at some point. He reached out and pulled his grandmother's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"Grandmother, can you play with Cang'er for a while?"

Hearing his coquettish voice, the Empress Dowager Donggong's heart melted, and she bent down to look at her eldest grandson.

"Okay, let's go to the courtyard so we don't wake up our brothers and sisters."

"it is good."

Shangguan Muchang pulled the Empress Dowager Donggong out of the palace, and Shangguan Wanjun reached out to Yuan Siyu beside him.

"Yuyu, come here, Auntie Huang will take you out."

Yuan Siyu happily stepped forward and stretched out her little hand, tightly holding Shangguan Wanjun's big hand. The two of them, big and small, walked out, and Yuan Siqi had to follow everyone's steps alone.

"Cang'er, what do you want the Imperial Grandmother to play with you?"

"How about playing shuttlecock?"

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace waved her hands when she heard this: "That thing, the Imperial Grandmother, is so unbearable. Do we have any other ways to play with it?"

Yuan Siyu, who was led forward by Shangguan Wanjun, said, "How about playing with the flower rope?"

Shangguan Mucang frowned: "But that's for women to play with."

After hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun raised her hand and knocked on his head.

"Ah, Queen Mother, it hurts."

"My dear, what are you doing? Hey, Cang'er, come here quickly and let the Empress Dowager take a look."

"Don't worry, mother. He can't be broken. He's not that fragile."

"You kid."

Afraid that his mother would be criticized, Shangguan Muchang pulled the Empress Dowager Donggong's sleeve and quickly spoke for her.

"Grandmother, it must be that Cang'er said something wrong just now. The Queen Mother is punishing her grandson. Please don't be angry with the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was amused by his clever appearance because of his young age.

"Our Cang'er has grown up and is only responsible for protecting our mother. Well done, that's what we should do."

Shangguan Wanjun stroked her dress, sat down, and began to lecture Shangguan Muchang.

"Cang'er, the Queen Mother doesn't like what you said just now. What do you mean by women's game? Isn't the shuttlecock you just mentioned a game for women? Then why are you playing shuttlecock?"

Shangguan Muchang lowered his head and earnestly admitted his mistake to Shangguan Wanjun.

"Mother Queen, I was wrong. Please punish me."

"There's no need to punish you for this, but from now on, don't just say that only men and women can play. As long as men and women don't mind, both can play, understand?"

"I understand. I want to play cat's tuck."

"Okay, go find them. The Queen Mother and the Grandmother will play with you three."

Hearing this, the three children cheered and applauded: "Great."

Leng Shuxiang returned to the palace after finishing her work. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a warm and loving scene in the courtyard, and her heart was warmed again.
