The wives of the concubines are empresses

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and Nanny Li ate watermelon for a while, but because the sun was too strong, they finally went back to the tent to rest.

"It's really hot out here."

Nanny Li echoed, "The Empress Dowager is right. The Emperor and his young people are more resistant to the heat. We can't afford it."

The Empress Dowager Donggong smiled at her and said, "That's right."

After eating melons and watching the show for a while, Shangguan Wanjun also found a tree to cool off, and Lianhua hurriedly fanned her with a round fan.

"Your Majesty, you are feeling better."

"I'm better now, but I'm still feeling a bit irritable." This made her feel inexplicably irritated.

Lianhua looked at the scorching sun and sighed, "Oh, this weather is terrible."

Shangguan Wanjun accidentally glanced at the jade hand and suddenly felt that it was a little dark. She stretched out her hand in front of her and looked at it carefully.

Mu Xiang followed and took a look, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

"Don't you think my hands have turned black?"

Hearing this, Mu Xiang lowered her head and stopped talking.

When Shangguan Wanjun saw her expression, she felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.

"The sun is too strong! I got dark after just a short while. If I stayed here for a few months, I'd be completely charcoal-black."

Ouhe Liuli was stunned and a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, what is this charcoal head?"

General Anyong was confused when he heard this. Looking at the aggrieved Shangguan Wanjun, he hurried forward to comfort her.

"Okay, okay, wife, stop crying, let's go out and bask in the sun for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lianhua and others wanted to give General An Yong a beating for bringing up something that was completely irrelevant.

Shangguan Wanjun exploded when she heard this: "No, you did it on purpose, didn't you? Do you think I'm not dark enough?"

General An Yong scratched his head in a simple and honest manner: "No, wife, I didn't say anything wrong."

"You're wrong in everything you said."

"Ah." General Anyong thought carefully about what he said. He only said three sentences in total. Why was his wife angry?

General Anyong looked at Lianhua and others for help, and Ouhe mustered up the courage to explain in a low voice.

"The emperor said she got tanned." Hey, General, please be more careful.

General Anyong thought there was something else going on and immediately smiled brightly.

"Haha, I thought it was nothing. Wife, it's just a little darker. Look, I'm much darker than you."

Looking at him stretching out his thick and strong arms, Shangguan Wanjun became more and more angry, and reached out and slapped his arm away.

"General, is there something wrong with your brain?"

Faced with her question, General An Yong looked up in surprise.

"what?"

Shangguan Wanjun was so angry that she wanted to curse, but unfortunately she had to maintain the majesty of an emperor and her gentle, dignified and proper image.

"You're a man, I'm a woman, how can we be compared? I asked you to comfort me, but you stabbed me in the back. Do you intend to kill me with every blow?"

When General Anyong heard this, he felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.

"Wife, what my husband said is true. I am darker than you."

Lianhua and others held their foreheads and said: Oh, the general is such a straight man that there is no hope.

Seeing him continue talking, Shangguan Wanjun's chest heaved with anger.

"You also said that if your head was placed in the common people, I don't think you can even marry a wife with your emotional intelligence. Fortunately, I took you in and saved you from loneliness."

"My wife is right."

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly couldn't get angry with him anymore, which made her a little depressed.

"Carry me back to the tent to cool down." She walked as little as possible. It was good that her husband had a little more. She was carried back in a princess carry.

General Anyong quickly bent down and picked her up, then walked towards his tent. By the time she realized something was wrong, she was already on his bed.

"No, you idiot, I asked you to carry me back to your tent."

General Anyong scratched his head and said, "This is my own tent."

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness. Lianhua and others were also stunned. They thought that General Anyong would carry the emperor back to her own tent, but the result was beyond their expectations.

"It's okay, I'll just play here with you for a while." It doesn't matter where she plays, as long as it's in her husband's tent.

Suddenly Shangguan Wanjun thought of her personal female officials who were still single, and frowned for a moment.

Lianhua, Ouhe, Muxiang and Liuli were all frightened by the stare, and Liuli mustered up the courage to speak.

"Your Majesty, is there something dirty on the faces of our servants?"

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head, and the four of them were even more confused. Why was the emperor looking at them?

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly stood up and looked at everyone at eye level.

"I've never heard you say you want to get married. Don't you want to?" Why are her ladies-in-waiting not interested in men? Don't they have anyone they like?

That's a big deal. As their only master, she has the responsibility and obligation to help them get married and start a family.

Lianhua was stunned. How did they get to this point? Wasn't the Emperor jumping to another topic too quickly?

"Your Majesty, we don't actually have to get married."

Ou He quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we are willing to follow you forever."

Mu Xiang continued, "Until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble."

Liuli wondered how they connected and what she should say when it was her turn to appear more cultured.

Shangguan Wanjun thought she would respond, but after watching for a long time, she didn't see Liuli say anything.

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly asked a soul-searching question: "Don't you think children are cute?"

General Anyong, who was sitting quietly, stood up as soon as Shangguan Wanjun stood up. He was watching everyone quietly. When he suddenly heard the emperor's question, he blurted out the answer.

"Wife, I think the child is very cute." He likes the eldest prince very much.

"I didn't ask you, and you haven't answered me yet."

Thinking of the adorable, sensible and polite eldest prince, Lianhua was the first to nod.

"Your Majesty, I think the children are very cute. For example, the eldest prince is well-behaved, cute and sensible."

Ou He echoed: "Indeed, the Second Prince, Third Prince and the First Princess are also very cute."

They are all the emperor's children and have inherited the emperor's virtues.

After hearing what they said, Shangguan Wanjun became even more suspicious about why they didn't find a man to marry.

"So what exactly do you think?"

Liuli glanced at the three of them, then sighed softly.

"I have been following the Emperor since I was a child. I am afraid that he will dislike me after we get married."

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned when she heard this: "How can this be true? Just because you get married, I have to despise you?"

She didn't quite understand.

Liuli sighed, "Getting married and having children, not to mention getting married, just the act of having children takes too long."

Women have to be pregnant for ten months before giving birth to a child. For women like them who have careers and responsibilities, that is unnecessary and a luxury.

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly discovered a problem, that is, when a woman gets married and has a career, it will be affected to some extent, especially for personal female officials like Lianhua, who should be afraid of being disliked by their master.

Seeing that the emperor was in trouble, Lianhua and others felt a little sad. If they had known this would happen, they would not have told the emperor.
