The wives of the concubines are empresses

The spacious main hall seemed much smaller because all the concubines were present.

Shangguan Wanjun looked up and scanned the entire room, then gave instructions to everyone.

"Any husbands who are feeling sleepy can go back to the palace and rest. For those husbands who are in good spirits, we can also play games. The losers can perform a show to have fun and pass the free afternoon. What do you think?"

Mr. Haogui - Gao Zihao bowed and said: "I think the emperor's idea is very good."

Yang's wife, Hu Siyang, then spoke up: "Your Highness second the motion."

Han Cefu - Feng Jinghan echoed: "Your husband also second the proposal."

Many of the guests seconded the proposal, but none of them wanted to leave and go back for their nap.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wanjun did not make things difficult for everyone.

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and said, "How about playing number idiom chain?"

The concubine Lin Gongyu asked: "Your Majesty, is it a four-character idiom?"

"Yes, how about you come first?"

"Okay."

With his side husband, Lin Gongyu, he pursed his lips and looked up in thought: "shoot an arrow through a hundred paces."

"Okay, starting with me, then the Emperor Wen and the Emperor Wu, and then from left to right in a vertical row."

Everyone looked at Shangguan Wanjun expectantly, waiting for her to take over.

"With all my heart."

Emperor Wen’s Noble Husband-Bai Xuanyi: “Perfect in every way.”

Wu Huang Guifu - Propaganda Style: "A drop in the bucket."

The first row of Hao Guifu and Gao Zihao continued: "Various."

Ordinary Man - Qiu Chi: "For thousands of years."

Ordinary people make a wish: "A smooth and level road."

Ordinary Man - Xiang Zhengqi: "Thousands of troops and horses."

The side masters below continued the chain.

"Kill two birds with one stone."

"Kill two birds with one stone."

“Kill two birds with one stone.”

“Colorful.”

The second row, Yang's side husband - Hu Siyang, followed suit: "Four seasons are like spring."

Mortal-Su Hangjin: "All things are revived."

"Take the lead."

"Does it count as a 10,000-man army?"

Shangguan Wanjun said, "It's barely acceptable. I'll continue with the next one."

"I am undecided."

“Multitasking.”

"Up and down."

Shangguan Wanjun listened quietly. Feeling a little thirsty, she picked up the tea beside her and took a sip to relieve her thirst.

The chain continues below.

In fact, Shangguan Wanjun's purpose of playing this activity is to allow every husband to participate, which is also the fairest way to play.

"Forgetful."

"Three obediences and four virtues."

Li Youwen, the husband of Concubine Wen, said: "Three wives and four concubines."

As soon as he said this, the whole audience fell silent, and all the side lords looked at him, admiring his courage.

Concubine Wen's wife, Li Youwen, may not have realized that he had said the wrong thing. He frowned slightly and looked around.

"Is this palace wrong?"

General Nan Shaoan laughed and said, "That's right, let's move on to the next one."

How come this kid is even more naive than them generals? It’s really not easy for him to survive to this day.

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Wen's husband, Li Youwen, with a half-smile, lamenting that he was so foolish and naive. Other concubines avoided using this idiom, but he just said it out loud.

If he wasn't so stupid, she would have thought he did it on purpose.

Fortunately, she was a wise ruler, otherwise that foolish boy Wenbinfu would have been completely wiped out.

The newly elected husband, Lan Naxin, continued the chain: "Four Books and Five Classics."

"All things come back to one."

“Two in one.”

"For life."

"Wealth comes from all directions."

"in all directions."

"Besieged on all sides."

"Ambush from all sides."

Hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but curl her lips and smile: "You two are really at odds with each other."

Everyone smiled upon hearing this, and the atmosphere in the main hall became harmonious and relaxed.

The next person continued, "It's been a lot of hardship."

"crack shot."

"cream of the crop."

"One in a million."

"You will be infamous forever."

Shangguan Wanjun chuckled again, and everyone looked at her. Shangguan Wanjun waved her hand.

"continue."

"Leave your name forever."

"Never give up."

"Never give up."

The previous side master frowned: "Hey, you are only one character different from me."

"Well, just tell me if it's okay or not."

The man had nothing to say.

Seeing the two of them bickering, Shangguan Wanjun smiled.

And the concubine - Lin Gongyu continued the chain: "Smiled."

"I will never refuse even if I die."

Bai Xuanyi, the noble husband of Emperor Wen, pondered, "A promise is worth a thousand gold."

Wu Huang Guifu - Xuanhua Feng took over: "Love at first sight."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Shangguan Wanjun. He had indeed fallen in love with Shangguan Wanjun at first sight when he saw her in person on the day of his wedding.

Hao Guifu-Gao Zihao took it and said: "Smiled slightly."

Mortal-Qiu Chi: "Dangers are everywhere."

Ordinary people - wish to be "torn into pieces."

Ordinary Man - Xiang Zhengqi: "Colorful and dazzling."

"A lot of chatter."

"In groups of three or five."

"Solid and stable."

“The world is my home.”

“It’s well-connected.”

When everyone had finished their lines, Shangguan Wanjun didn't see who was left out, leaving her with no chance to watch the performance.

"Come on, everyone, have some tea. Let's change the game and say four-character idioms involving animals."

Li Youwen, the wife of Concubine Wen, said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this minister knows how to call a deer a horse."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Okay, let's start with you, then me, and we'll take turns in the same order as before."

Everyone nodded and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Shangguan Wanjun drank a sip of the fragrant Dongting tea, she slowly put down the teacup and looked at everyone.

"Take the lead."

Bai Xuanyi, the noble husband of Emperor Wen, took over and said, "It's better to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost."

Wu Huang Guifu - Publicity Wind Road: "A frog in the well."

Hao Guifu - Gao Zihao: "The fox borrows the power of the tiger to bully others."

Ordinary Man - Qiu Chi: "Just sit back and wait for the rabbit to come to you."

Ordinary people make a wish: "Who will win?"

Adding unnecessary details to the phrase "thousands of troops and horses."

"Pigs are worse than dogs."

"Chicken-hearted."

"Short-sighted."

"Heart as viperous as a snake."

"Moths fly to the flame."

"ungrateful."

The second row, Yang's side husband, Hu Siyang, followed suit: "Everyone is in chaos."

Ordinary Man - Su Hangjin: "Wolf-like ambitions."

“Very ambitious.”

"A nest of snakes and rats."

“Nothing happened.”

"A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry."

"A dog relies on the strength of a human."

"The tiger is full of power."

Han Cefu Fengjing said coldly: "The Hedong Lion Roars."

Concubine Fan's husband, Zhao Yunfan, took it and said, "A drop in the bucket."

Continue below.

“Stand out from the crowd.”

"wolf."

"The rabbit dies and the fox mourns."

"To be an accomplice to a tiger."

"To seek the skin of a tiger."

"Recruit soldiers and buy horses."

The series of events continued with the concubine - Lord Lin and the concubines behind him.

"Prepare for battle."

"Wife the monkey and wear the crown."

"Watching closely."

"It's just a dog's labor."

"The chicken touches the dog."

"It's superfluous."

"Imagination is unconstrained."

Concubine Qiao's husband, Su Kangqiao, took over and said, "It's just a pretense."

"flamboyant."

"The dragon and the phoenix present auspiciousness."

"I hope my son will become a dragon."

"I hope my daughter will become a phoenix."

"He's distracted."

"Childhood sweethearts."

……

Shangguan Wanjun looked at these two games for a long time and found that they were not difficult at all for her husbands. She had to think of a slightly more difficult one that everyone could participate in.

"That's about enough. Let's change. This time, we need four-character idioms with historical allusions. Those who haven't followed can perform their own routines. Feel free to perform and have fun with everyone."

The attendants bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'll start."

"Bearing on a thorn bush to apologize."

Emperor Wen’s noble husband, Bai Xuanyi, said, “Who will win?”

Wu Huang Guifu - Xuan Xuanfeng took over: "Hit the target with a single shot from a hundred paces."

Hao Guifu - Gao Zihao: "Sleeping on straw and tasting gall."

Ordinary Man - Qiu Chi: "Don't be ashamed to ask questions."

Ordinary people - wish to: "add legs to a snake."

Ordinary people - wish to: "Talk about war on paper."

"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao."

"Return the jade intact to Zhao."

“It’s too late to mend the fold.”

"He who tries to cover his ears to steal the bell."

The second row, Yang's side husband, Hu Siyang, followed suit: "A frog in the well."

Ordinary Man - Su Hangjin: "The North Star is in the sky."

"Looking for the sword on a boat."

"Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat."

"The fox pretends to be the tiger's power."

"Just filling in the gaps."

"Buy the casket and return the pearl."

"Ye Gong likes dragons."

Feng Jinghan, the cold husband, pursed his lips in thought, then raised his head and said, "Hanging from the beam and piercing the thigh with a needle."

Concubine Fan's husband, Zhao Yunfan, took over and said, "Hearing the cock-crow, he rose and danced."
