The wives of the concubines are empresses

As he applied the medicine slowly and gently, the swelling and pain on Shangguan Wanjun's forehead subsided in time.

Seeing the empress being woken up from her sleep and then starting to doze off again, Concubine Qiao - Su Kangqiao suggested speaking up.

"Your Majesty, if you're still sleepy, why don't you continue sleeping?"

Thinking of the soft couch in the carriage, Shangguan Wanjun readily agreed.

The road is bumpy, how can I get through it without sleep?

Besides, sleeping can reduce the number of Yunma carriages. Shangguan Wanjun felt that she was very smart and happily covered herself with a thin blanket and went to sleep.

Seeing this, Concubine Qiao - Su Kangqiao and Concubine Zhou - Zheng Zhouxing couldn't help but smile lovingly.

The emperor is really like that. He falls asleep as soon as he says he will. He falls asleep in seconds.

The eldest prince rode in the carriage of the Minister of Justice, Liu Huaitao, and his wife, Liu's. Originally, he rode in the carriage of his concubine, Liu Haiming. Because he went back early, his wife, Liu, took the initiative to let her grandson ride with them so that they could develop a relationship along the way.

Shangguan Wanjun had no objection to this.

Originally, she was planning to let her son live with her. Since Mrs. Liu was willing to take care of the child, why not? It was just right that she could sleep peacefully along the way. It was so beautiful, so refreshing and so comfortable.

General Nan Shaoan went directly to the imperial palace in the capital in response to the handwritten edict brought back by General Anyong, but he returned to the palace one day earlier than the imperial guard.

The only high-ranking concubine in the palace was Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming and him. The two of them drank in the courtyard under the moonlight. This was also Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming's welcome party for him.

"Open, brother, I'll toast you a glass."

General Nan Shaoan raised his glass and said, "Come on, drink."

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

General Nan Shaoan hadn't enjoyed such a leisurely drink for a long time. With the delicious food and wine treated by Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming, General Nan Shaoan congratulated him.

"Congratulations, brother, on your promotion to a noble husband. Come, I will toast you a glass."

Seeing his heartfelt congratulations, Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming accepted it with joy and relief.

"Thank you."

After the welcoming banquet, Ming Guifu-Liu Haiming instructed Zhang Yang.

"Please escort the general back to the palace for me."

Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my Lord."

Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming looked at General Nan Shaoan and said considerately: "The emperor will be returning to the palace tomorrow. Brother, take a good rest. It's a rare opportunity. Sleep a little longer tomorrow to welcome the emperor."

"Okay, thank you, my lord. I'll take my leave tonight."

"goodbye!"

Watching his majestic and strong body leave.

Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming thought that the empress, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and all the concubines would return to the palace tomorrow, and the palace, which had been silent for several months, would become lively again.

Thinking of his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Ming Guifu-Liu Haiming still missed him a little.

He remembered the joy he felt when he first heard that he was going to be a father, especially the real touch of holding his newborn baby in his arms, which he has never forgotten.

That night, under the influence of alcohol, Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming slept very well and even had a dream at dawn.

In the dream, there was his wife and son. The three of them were having a picnic on a meadow. There were all kinds of fruits, cakes and drinks on the picnic blanket, and everyone's barbecued skewers were around.

When he was happy, Mo Yan woke him up with a shout.

Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming stood up and looked at Mo Yan with some resentment, which made Mo Yan a little confused and slightly frightened.

What's wrong with Cejun today? Why does he look at him as if he wants to eat him?

Breakfast was ready, and Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming went to the dining hall to eat as soon as he had packed up.

"Where is the Emperor and his companions?"

Zhang Yang quickly bowed and replied, "My Lord, we are ten kilometers outside the city gate."

"Very fast." He had to eat more so that he could go on duty and work with other departments to maintain public security in the capital area and ensure the emperor's safe entry into the palace.

Zhu Wu, the concubine of the Wu family, who was far away in a foreign land, stood on the city wall after finishing his meal and looked towards the capital.

Calculating the time, these two days should be the days when the empress's entourage returns to the palace.

Liu Rufeng ran quickly to the city wall and saw his master standing by the wall, so he hurried over.

"Lord Ce, Lord Song is looking for you."

"understood."

It's time to be busy again, but fulfilling days are more valuable and meaningful.

The carriage went into the city and headed towards the imperial city. Shangguan Wanjun in the carriage ate some cakes and drank some drinks, then continued to lie on the soft and comfortable couch and fell asleep.

Accompanying her is Concubine Fan's husband - Zhao Yunfan.

He looked at the person who was sleeping soundly, his heart and eyes filled with doting tenderness. He kept watching her carefully and considerately, fearing that she would turn over and fall.

General Nan Shaoan rested when he returned to Beijing. Following the instructions of Ming Guifu - Liu Haiming and Aunt Cheng, he led all the concubines to the palace gate to welcome the emperor back to the palace.

Shangguan Wanjun was still unconscious when she arrived at the palace gate. Concubine Fan's husband, Zhao Yunfan, looked at the concubines who were waiting outside to greet her.

"The Emperor has fallen asleep. All the concubines should go back to the palace to rest. When the Emperor has rested, come back to see him at lunchtime and have lunch together."

General Nan Shaoan, as the highest-ranking official in the reception, responded on behalf of the other party.

"Yes."

After arriving at the destination, Shangguan Wanjun was carried back to the Dragon Palace by her concubine Zhao Yunfan.

Sun Yuewei had already instructed Aunt Cheng to clean the palace and replace the dragon couch with clean and soft cushions as arranged by Aunt Cheng.

A eunuch ran in and said, "Miss Sun, Concubine Fan and his wife are carrying the Emperor this way."

"Quick, everyone kneel down to welcome him."

"Yes."

Not long after they knelt, Liu Cheng came to the door of the Dragon's Bedroom holding a whisk.

"The Emperor has returned to the palace. He has ordered that no one should make a sound, so as not to disturb his sweet dreams."

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes."

Concubine Fan's husband - Zhao Yunfan carried Shangguan Wanjun all the way into the Dragon Bedroom and headed towards the bedroom.

After he gently put the person down, the palace maids arranged by Sun Yuewei walked in quietly, holding clean face washing water, hand washing water, face washcloths, handkerchiefs, bath beans (for cleaning hands and skin care) and other items, and stood in rows in front and back.

Sun Yuewei took the initiative to step forward and began to carefully serve the sleeping Shangguan Wanjun. She first cleansed her face with bath beans, then gently wiped it clean, then applied skin care products, and then washed her hands...

After all this was done, Shangguan Wanjun slept more comfortably, and the incense in the bedroom also made her sleep more comfortable.

After Concubine Fan's husband, Zhao Yunfan, had finished cleaning up, he continued to sleep with Shangguan Wanjun.

The two of them slept until 5:15 in the afternoon. After waking up from their nap, Lianhua, Ouhe and Muxiang came to the bedroom.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the three of them exchanged glances and decided to wake up the couple who were sleeping soundly.

"Your Majesty, Consort, it's time to get up and have lunch. The other Consorts are waiting to see you."

Concubine Fan's husband - Zhao Yunfan had slowly woken up when Lianhua spoke. She looked at the person who was pouting slightly, couldn't help laughing, and sat up to coax her gently.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat something delicious."
