The wives of the concubines are empresses

After the eunuchs tested the poison, Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi picked up a dish of Nine Treasures Stew and raised her hand.

"Your Majesty, please try this dish."

Seeing the dish already brought to her mouth, Shangguan Wanjun opened her mouth slightly and began to chew gently, pursing her lips slightly.

"not bad."

Halfway through the meal, Bai Xuanyi picked up the bird's nest beside him.

"Your Majesty, try this."

Liu Cheng was startled and spoke out to stop him.

"Lord, you can't."

Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi felt a little embarrassed, but quickly reacted.

"It was my husband who was reckless."

After saying that, he scooped up a spoonful, blew on it a few times, and put it in his mouth.

In the end, Shangguan Wanjun drank the bird's nest, but she didn't want to eat it after eating only half of it because her stomach was really full.

A shocking scene appeared. Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi ate all the remaining food in one breath.

"you……"

Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi raised her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Shangguan Wanjun sat for a while, then stood up and prepared to leave. Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi was stunned.

"Your Majesty, will you not stay overnight?"

Seeing the other person's obviously hurt look, Shangguan Wanjun felt ashamed of pulling up her pants and denying it.

"In two days, I will come over to have dinner and stay overnight."

Concubine Wen Bai Xuanyi was reluctant to leave, so she personally sent her to the gate of Yongkang Palace.

Looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, Shangguan Wanjun was silent.

The personal servants followed closely, and before they knew it, Shangguan Wanjun arrived at a place with lights on.

"Where is this?"

Seeing the plaque in front of him, Liu Cheng hurriedly walked over a few steps and then quickly returned.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Xuanhe Palace."

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and asked, "Who lives there?"

"Baipin Side Lord."

Seeing that there was still light in the hall and the palace gate was not closed and locked, Shangguan Wanjun walked in as if possessed, and everyone followed closely behind her.

When the young eunuch saw this, he ran in quickly.

"Lord, the Emperor is here."

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai was startled and put down the book in her hand.

Seeing the figure hurriedly coming from the front, Shangguan Wanjun looked at it indifferently, without stopping her feet.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you and wish you the best of luck."

"No gift."

Shangguan Wanjun walked straight inside: "I saw lights in my beloved concubine's palace, so I came in to take a look."

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai had no suspicion of anything else.

"If our hospitality is inadequate, I hope Your Majesty will forgive us."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled faintly: "No problem."

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai was stunned. Even as calm as he was, he was confused by the emperor's words.

Seeing the book on the couch, Shangguan Wanjun turned and looked at the 19-year-old boy.

"Are you reading?"

Baipin Jiang Ruobai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, yes, I am just killing time."

Shangguan Wanjun walked over, picked it up and flipped through it.

"My beloved concubine likes to read poetry and songs."

Baipin Jiang Ruobai smiled faintly: "It's just that I have nothing to do."

Seeing the eunuch serving tea, Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai spoke in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"Okay." After saying that, Shangguan Wanjun sat on the couch, her posture showing dignity and grace.

Shangguan Wanjun picked up the teacup, blew on it a few times, took a sip, and savored it carefully.

"It has a refreshing and pleasant light fragrance. This Longjing is pretty good."

In private, Shangguan Wanjun was no longer as serious as she was during the day. When she relaxed, she exuded gentleness and spoke softly.

Like a gardenia, cold yet gentle.

"Are you used to it, my dear?"

Facing the emperor's question, Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai spoke in a gentle tone.

"Read a book, write some poetry, and occasionally stroll around the garden."

"Are you bored?"

"What?" Baipin Jiang Ruobai was obviously stunned.

What was there for Shangguan Wanjun to not understand about his silence?

"I also feel that life is boring, so today I went to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice Prison, and also went to the Imperial College. But those students are quite good and have quick reactions."

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai was shocked that the emperor would actually say this to someone he didn't know well, as if it was just a normal chat. He felt strange and novel.

"Did the Emperor ask a question?"

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the 19-year-old boy and thought that some of the students were just like the boy in front of her.

"It's out, that's why they react quickly."

Baipin Jiang Ruobai nodded in understanding.

"My beloved, have you ever been enrolled in the Imperial Academy?"

"I've been there for four years."

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head and fiddled with her handkerchief, muttering to herself.

"It must be Grade A."

Baipin Jiang Ruobai was shocked: "The emperor is wise."

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head calmly: "It's far from being wise and sage. There are too many injustices in the world."

This was the first time he heard the emperor sigh.

"Let's get back to the point. It must be quite boring in the palace." He just didn't want to say it directly.

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai was about to reply, but Shangguan Wanjun looked up to stop her.

"It's okay to tell the truth, but if life were filled with lies, it would be boring."

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai, her attendant Lu Xuan who had followed her since childhood, and her guard Wu An were all shocked by the emperor's words.

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai did not speak, but was just thinking about the meaning of the emperor's words.

Aunt Cheng glanced at the sky and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, it's late."

Lu Xuan, the attendant, asked respectfully first, "Your Majesty, are you staying overnight tonight?"

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai was startled and shouted.

"It's not your turn to speak here."

"I have been too talkative, Your Majesty, please calm down."

Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai bowed with her hands clasped and spoke in a respectful tone.

"Your Majesty, it is my fault that I have failed to discipline my servants. Please punish me."

Shangguan Wanjun glanced at the master and servant and smiled.

"It's not a big deal, why make such a fuss? Auntie is right. It's late at night, and it's difficult for me to go home. I'll stay overnight."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan was delighted.

"I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare hot water for bathing."

Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and nodded: "Go."

Lianhua was stunned, then wanted to say something and quickly bowed.

"Your Majesty, I will go get you your pajamas."

"Don't bother, I'll just use the towel later."

Everyone was shocked, wondering why they didn't understand what the emperor said.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Shangguan Wanjun was too lazy to explain and just lowered her head to drink her tea.

When they saw their master wrapping the clean bath towel used for wiping around his body, Aunt Cheng, Lianhua, Muxiang and Ouhe were stunned.

"Your Majesty, you are truly brilliant." Ouhe couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

When Shangguan Wanjun appeared in the bedroom, Concubine Bai Jiang Ruobai had finished washing up. When he saw the person who suddenly appeared, he was distracted for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you are well."

"Forget it."

Seeing the other person's wet hair, Baipin Jiang Ruobai was shocked.

"Your Majesty, you must dry your hair quickly, or you will have a headache."

Aunt Cheng helped the emperor sit on the chair next to the dressing table, and Lianhua took a clean handkerchief to dry the roots of the emperor's hair.

Shangguan Wanjun looked anxious and reached back.

Lianhua was stunned: "Your Majesty, this is..."

"I'll teach you how to dry your hair quickly."

Lianhua handed her the handkerchief half-believingly. Shangguan Wanjun took it and wiped the roots of her hair first, and then wiped her entire head.

Everyone was stunned, mainly because how could the emperor's actions look so rough and pleasing to the eye?

After using four dry towels in a row, Shangguan Wanjun felt much better and continued to wipe her hair and roots.

The crystal clear water droplets dripped onto her shoulders, but Shangguan Wanjun didn't feel any discomfort.

Half a quarter of an hour had passed after all the operations.

Shangguan Wanjun's hands were sore from wiping, and she sighed helplessly.
