The wives of the concubines are empresses

Seeing her nervous and frightened look, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but smile and reached out to take down a white jade pendant with a button knot from her waist.

"come over."

Ou Meizi looked at her in shock, and was stunned for a moment when she saw a jade pendant in her hand.

Jiang Xialan was afraid that she would offend the emperor and be disrespectful in front of him, so she quickly reminded her in a low voice.

"Meizi, go quickly." Silly girl, don't offend the emperor.

Ou Meizi hurriedly stepped forward, but in fact she was extremely nervous and frightened.

She never thought that one day she would be able to talk to the emperor, the empress. Now she had to go up and talk to the empress at close range. While she felt honored, it also made her heart beat faster.

Ou Meizi felt that this process was too long and painful. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the empress sitting on the main seat. She found that she had a smile in her eyes. She looked gentle, dignified and generous, with a cold temperament.

The closer I got to her, the more I felt that the empress's beauty was cold, fresh and otherworldly.

"emperor."

"Come forward a little. This jade pendant is a token of your next visit to the palace. When I return, please take some time to visit the palace."

Ou Meizi really didn't expect that it was for her, so she quickly reached out to take it respectfully.

"My daughter obeys the order."

Looking at the empress's pair of white hands with skin as white as cream, Ou Meizi felt that she was also very fond of them as a woman, not to mention that the empress's hands were slender, distinct and long, which made her unable to help but take another look.

Seeing that she was staring at her own hands, Shangguan Wanjun smiled.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Liu Cheng beside her and asked, "Is lunch ready?"

Liu Cheng held up his whisk and replied, "Your Majesty, the meal is ready and can be served at any time."

"I'm hungry, please serve me some food."

"Yes."

Liu Cheng hurriedly called a young eunuch and gave him an order, and the young eunuch respectfully retreated to serve the meal.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the quiet husband of Emperor Wen, Bai Xuanyi, and spoke to him in a low voice with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"My dear husband, do you think I am cruel?"

Bai Xuanyi, the noble husband of Emperor Wen, smiled gently and raised his eyes: "Not fierce."

Sometimes she even has a bit of cuteness and mischief, which combined with her unique coolness makes it hard to ignore.

Shangguan Wanjun smiled when she heard this: "Really? I see Miss Ou is very nervous."

"That's because Miss Ou doesn't understand the emperor." As the empress, the emperor naturally has her own style and methods of doing things. It is normal for her to be more majestic when necessary.

After all, using both kindness and severity is a compulsory course for an emperor, and it is also the beginning of being a qualified emperor.

After lunch, desserts and fruits were served one by one.

Looking at the pastries and rare fruits that she had never eaten before, Ou Meizi swallowed her saliva greedily.

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes unintentionally and noticed her actions. She couldn't help but smile. Emperor Wen's husband, Bai Xuanyi, was sitting on the same level with her, and lowered his head to eat seriously, without noticing anything wrong with her.

"Your Majesty."

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned when she saw the beauty, and turned to look at her mother.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"This cold kelp dish is very good, but a little spicy. My dear, please try it."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace had already handed the food to her mouth with chopsticks. In public, she couldn't help but give face to her mother, so she opened her mouth and took a bite, and found that it was really good.

"Mother, the taste is indeed delicious. I think the cooking skills of the imperial kitchen have improved."

The Empress Dowager Donggong smiled gracefully and nodded, "I feel the same way. Your Majesty, please eat more vegetables."

"Mother, I will." In the imperial family, it is rare for mother and daughter to get along so harmoniously, especially for the mother-daughter relationship between the empress dowager and the empress.

After the meal, it was time for pastries and fruits. Shangguan Wanjun had just taken a piece of watermelon when the voices of two men rang out at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and looked at the ministers and subordinates who were speaking in confusion.

"I wonder what Lord Zhang and Commander Wang want to report." It was already lunchtime, so don't mention anything that would keep her awake.

Zhang Zhengyang, who has a handsome appearance and gentle features, bowed solemnly.

"I want to enter the emperor's harem."

"This subordinate wants to enter the emperor's harem."

Shangguan Wanjun was surprised when she saw the toothpick stuck in the watermelon, and the toothpick fell onto the plate.

Before she could react, she heard Wang Qing's words again, causing her to choke on her own saliva again.

"Cough cough cough..." Oh my God, what are these two men talking about.

Emperor Wen's noble husband, Bai Xuanyi, was surprised when he heard the empress coughing, and hurriedly patted her back to soothe her.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head slightly, then looked at the two grown men.

"Are you two serious?" Apart from the big score, General Nan Shaoan and General Anyong had previously asked to be concubines. Now, many years have passed, and the story of that year has happened again. What should she do?

Zhang Zhengyang looked at her seriously and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I fell in love with you at first sight during the exam."

After so many years, he still misses her.

At first, he was afraid that he was being tempted by her beauty and hesitated to do anything excessive.

But later, as time went on, he felt that perhaps his love at first sight was just a man's lust. After all, he was really stunned by the sight, and there was also the fresh and pleasant scent of orchids and roses.

But after many years, he felt that he had never been attracted to anyone again. He always looked forward to the grand court meeting and the day when the empress came to the Hanlin Academy. Those memories kept him going until now.

The concubines felt a hint of danger, and all looked at Zhang Zhengyang with hostility like rivals in love.

Although Zhang Zhengyang himself was on pins and needles, his attitude remained sincere and serious.

The Empress Dowager Donggong, who was over fifty years old, was moved by his sincere attitude when she saw how deeply in love he was.

It took so long to fall in love at first sight during an exam.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang loved his daughter so deeply that even she, an outsider, was moved.

"But I have many concubines in my harem, so Lord Zhang has to think carefully." My dear, I only treat you as my beloved, but you want to be my beloved husband. This ambition is really unique.

"I am serious and beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace smiled gently: "What a great favor! I admire you, Lord Zhang."

The love he had hidden deep in his heart had lasted for so many years. Every time he saw his sweetheart flirting with her husbands, he didn't know how he could hold back.

Shangguan Wanjun was shocked: Oh no, my mother might like him and want him to be her son-in-law.

With dozens of concubines in her harem, her body really couldn't bear it.

"Mother, Lord Zhang is still young and has many choices. We should not mislead him." Let me rest my waist, she was afraid that her waist would be broken.

Zhang Zhengyang was shocked and quickly fought for himself.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I am willing to do this."

Shangguan Wanjun was so angry: Why is this man so stubborn? I never noticed it before.
