The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 469 Bao Zhian's daily quarrel with Mr. Qu

Madam Shen asked doubtfully, "Is that really the case?"

Shen Qiu, the director of the Ministry of Rites and Shrines, looked at his wife and asked, "If you were looking for husbands for your daughters, what would you prioritize?"

Mrs. Shen was stunned when she heard this and began to think seriously.

"Girls naturally value the family traditions of their husbands, especially the character of their future husbands. As long as they have a decent and healthy appearance and figure, that's all that matters, Master."

"Yes, the Emperor probably considered this as well. As an emperor, it would be easy for him to find husbands for his female officials. But why did she, who is so busy with state affairs, come to the house in person to inspect? She must value her female officials very much.

"And I think there's a lot at stake here. After all, they're the Emperor's personal ladies-in-waiting, and no mistakes are allowed. Perhaps, even more prominent family backgrounds might make people less reassured." As an official with many years of experience, he understands the importance of state affairs and considers them more comprehensively.

Master Shen said, "Father is right. As someone in such an important position as the Emperor, everything you do must be carefully considered and considered thoroughly."

Shen Qiu, the director of the Ministry of Rites and Shrines, was very satisfied with the words of his eldest son.

"My son has grown a little today, and I am very happy as a father."

Then he looked at his second son, wanting to know what his son was thinking, so that he could give an answer if the emperor asked.

"Yi'er, what exactly do you think? If you are truly willing, I will be able to answer the Emperor if he asks."

Shen Yi was delighted with Mu Xiang, who was talented, beautiful and had good character. He also knew that she might be the most satisfying woman in his life and did not want to miss out on her.

"Father, if we are destined to be together, please inform the Emperor. I will listen to their wishes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu, the director of the Ministry of Rites and Shrines, smiled with relief.

His son has grown a lot from what he saw and heard today, which is very good.

"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's go back and have a good rest."

The four siblings, Master Shen, Shen Yi, Shen Rou and Shen Meng, all stood up and saluted.

"Father and mother, I am leaving."

"Father and mother, your daughter is leaving."

After watching his children leave, Shen Qiu, the director of the Ministry of Rites and Shrines, looked at his wife tenderly.

"Ma'am, let's go and wash up, change clothes and go to bed."

"Okay, sir."

Mrs. Shen stood up and took her husband's arm, and the couple walked towards their main house.

When they arrived at the Dragon's Sleeping Palace, Concubine Xing, Zhengzhou Xing, put Shangguan Wanjun down from his arms.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to bathe, wash, change clothes, and go to bed."

As an experienced person in love affairs, Shangguan Wanjun understood the hidden meaning of Xingpinfu-Zhengzhouxing, and she took the initiative to hold his hand.

"Okay, let's go."

In Yongkang Palace, Emperor Wen's noble husband, Bai Xuanyi, nodded slightly after listening to Mo Yan's report.

"Okay, please step back."

Mo Yan bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Ce, I will take my leave."

With Shangguan Wanjun's return, Emperor Wen's noble husband Bai Xuanyi was relieved. He put down the red brush on the pen holder, walked towards the bed in the bedroom, and lay down directly.

Tonight, he has to stay alone in the empty room, and he doesn't know when he can relive his old dream again.

In the Dragon's Sleeping Hall, the concubine's husband Zhengzhou Xing kissed Shangguan Wanjun all the way from her forehead, eyebrows, nose tip, lips, etc., and the two lived a shameless married life.

It was another day of court meetings. With the gentle comfort of her concubine husband, Zhengzhou Xing, Shangguan Wanjun was picked up and in a half-asleep and half-awake state, she was helped by everyone to wash, change clothes, and dress up.

In Fushou Palace, the Empress Dowager Donggong learned that the emperor came back late last night. She carefully heard that she and her concubine husband Zhengzhou went to the home of an ordinary low-ranking official and stayed there for a long time. She was deeply puzzled by this.

"What on earth did the Emperor go to Lord Shen's house for? Why did he stay there for so long, not even returning to the palace until an hour after sunset?"

When Nanny Li heard her confusion and doubt, she was also deeply confused.

"Perhaps the Emperor values ​​one of his subjects."

"I hope so. The emperor is old enough and has been on the throne for seven years. It's time for me to completely give up my power, enjoy my remaining years, and enjoy the company of my children and grandchildren."

"The Queen Mother is very insightful."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace sighed softly: "It's a pity that someone doesn't cherish the peaceful and beautiful days."

Thinking of the Empress Dowager Xigong, Li Ma, as a servant, couldn't say anything bad about her master, so she had to comfort her master.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. It will only take about a year for Queen Mother Xigong to return. Then you will have more company."

The Empress Dowager Donggong rubbed her Buddhist beads with her fingers and nodded.

After returning to the palace, Mr. Qu lived a life of drinking and eating, and the days with wine and meat were simply too good to be true.

Bao Zhian followed Mr. Qu to eat and drink to his heart's content at Shiyaxuan. He felt that his life was even happier than those of the eunuchs in front of the emperor, especially when Mr. Qu came back. He ate delicious food and drank spicy drinks with him every day, and was reluctant to see Mr. Qu leave every time.

Bao Zhian, who was biting a chicken leg, spoke incoherently: "Mr. Qu, you must stay in the palace for a while longer."

Old Qu laughed: "Don't worry, I still have to enjoy myself for another half month before traveling around the world and making the world my home, haha."

After he finished speaking, he took a big bite of the chicken leg in his hand.

Bao Zhian was surprised: "Ah, so fast?"

"Yeah, what's the matter, Xiao Anzi, you can't bear to leave me."

"I'm sure I'll miss you."

Old Qu smiled cheerfully and jokingly said, "How about you come with me to travel the world and see the customs and practices of various places in the Yuan Dynasty?"

Bao Zhian chewed the chicken in his mouth, and he couldn't help trembling when he thought of the miserable look on Old Qu's face every time he came back.

"Forget it, I'll wait for you in the palace. I'll guard Shi Yaxuan for you, so you can go there without worry."

Old Qu pursed his lips: "You're talking as if I'm gone, huh."

He was very unhappy and picked up the small jar of wine. He opened his mouth and drank it in a big gulp. The osmanthus wine made him feel refreshed when it entered his throat.

"Comfortable."

Bao Zhian finished chewing the chicken in his mouth and responded to his previous sentence.

"That's right, you're leaving. You don't even want Xiao Anzi anymore. Just go out and enjoy your freedom."

Old Qu complained: "Humph, I asked you to go out with me to gain more knowledge, but you were reluctant to give up the wine and meat. This is my fault."

After becoming familiar with Mr. Qu, Bao Zhian dared to argue with him, but he also knew his limits.

"You speak as if you are willing to give up wine and meat."

"You... humph, bullying the weak with your might, you bastard."

"What do you mean by bullying the weak? Lai Kebao." A voice suddenly sounded.

Old Qu and Bao Zhian looked up at the same time, and saw General Nan Shaoan in a black suit, holding something in his hand. Old Qu sniffed carefully and felt that it was delicious food.

"Son-in-law, what kind of delicacy do you have? It smells so delicious."

Seeing that his nose was so sensitive, General Nan Shaoan laughed and sat on the stone bench.

"Master, have you ever tried beggar's chicken?"

Old Qu looked up in surprise and said, "I've eaten this before, it tastes pretty good."

After saying this, he excitedly opened the beggar's chicken on the stone table.
