The wives of the concubines are empresses

In the dead of night, the moon outside was quietly covered by dark clouds, the breeze turned into a strong wind, and the tree branches and lanterns were swaying in the wind.

When everyone was fast asleep, a rainstorm suddenly hit, and the storm gradually subsided. This lasted for an hour or two, until it ended at dawn.

Xuanwei General's Mansion

Mrs. Huguo looked at her husband who had already gotten up and packed up and said, "General, remember to put on an extra layer of warm clothes."

General Xuanwei looked at his wife lying on the bed and nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I will. Madam, go back to sleep."

Fu Shou Palace

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was awakened by the sound of heavy rain in the middle of the night, and fell asleep again when it was dawn, and slept for two hours.

Nanny Li was worried that she might be unwell, so she walked into the bedroom and checked her expression several times.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace woke up and looked at the bedside. Nanny Li happened to come over and was relieved to see that she was awake.

"Queen Mother, you are finally awake."

Nanny Li helped the Empress Dowager Donggong sit up and looked at Bai with a puzzled look on her face.

"Finally? How long have I been sleeping?"

"It is now one o'clock in the morning, Queen Mother, shall I have breakfast served?"

"Okay, help me change my clothes, wash and dress."

"Yes."

Nanny Li looked at one of the palace maids and ordered, "Hurry and serve the meal."

"Yes, Madam Li."

When Li Ma and the palace maids helped the Eastern Palace Queen Mother change her clothes and wash up, she then went to the dressing table to put on her makeup.

When the last golden phoenix hairpin was inserted, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace slightly raised her right hand. Nanny Li reached out to help her stand up, and they walked step by step to the dining hall and sat down.

"How is the emperor?" It rained heavily last night, and I wonder if the palace servants have added more clothes for the emperor.

Nanny Li said respectfully, "The Empress Dowager, the Emperor is fine. I'm afraid he's already gone to court in the Imperial Study to deal with memorials."

In the imperial study, Shangguan Wanjun was wearing two more pieces of clothing today than yesterday. Over her bright yellow dress was a bright red robe embroidered with an exquisite five-clawed dragon. Her belt also had an exquisite and lifelike five-clawed dragon. Even her shawl had a vivid five-clawed golden dragon.

Bai Xue held her head high as usual and jumped step by step to the desk.

Hearing the noise, Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes slightly and looked over, meeting Bai Xue's bright eyes tenderly. She reached out and stroked its head.

"Come to accompany me again."

Bai Xue rubbed against her palm as if enjoying it, which made everyone laugh, and Yuan Xinling laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, Bai Xue is truly spiritual."

Lu Yan'er happily replied, "That's right, Bai Xue likes the emperor the most."

Minglan watched with a faint smile. She actually had many good memories of the years she served in the imperial court. She felt that her life was even more comfortable than when she was in the Gao Mansion.

Leng Shuxiang and Youyou took the palace maids to send the eldest prince and his two sons to class. Seeing the three little ones sitting obediently in the Shangshufang listening to Tutor Li's lecture, the two smiled at each other. Youyou gave a wink, and the two of them took the palace maids to leave the Shangshufang.

After leaving the Shangshufang and walking back, they were still busy taking care of the second prince, the eldest princess, and the third prince, who were now able to walk.

Although Aunt Cheng came to help today, taking care of the princes and princesses is their job after all.

"Master Leng, why do you think they don't want to go to class today?"

"I'm afraid it rained last night, so he wanted to take a break."

Youyou nodded in agreement. "That makes sense. I don't know when the eldest prince developed this lazy habit."

Leng Shuxiang already has two children, so she naturally understands their hearts.

"I'm afraid he's just playing around." Actually, in her opinion, he wasn't really playing around. After all, he was still young and his mindset was not fully settled.

The two of them quickly brought the palace maids back to Xiangxuan Pavilion, and Aunt Cheng held the plump and fair eldest princess in her arms as they basked in the sun in the courtyard.

Seeing how much she enjoyed it, the two men approached her with smiles on their faces.

"Aunt Cheng, you are holding the eldest princess in the sun."

"Yes, Lord Leng, have you successfully sent the eldest prince and his two children to school?"

Youyou smiled gently and nodded: "Yes, the eldest prince is still reluctant to leave."

"That's good, but we still can't be too accommodating to the three of them, or it will embarrass the emperor in the future."

They both bowed and saluted: "Yes, Aunt Cheng."

After the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace finished her breakfast, she walked towards Xiangxuan Pavilion accompanied by Nanny Li.

"The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace has arrived."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly turned around and knelt down to greet him.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace stepped over the threshold and saw Aunt Cheng there, holding the eldest princess. She walked over with a smile on her face.

"See the Queen Mother."

"Aunt Cheng is here too."

"I'm here to see the three young masters."

The eldest princess in her arms looked at the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace with curiosity, then stretched out her hands for a hug. Nanny Li was very surprised.

"Your Majesty, look, the Grand Princess wants you to hold her."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was also happy, she smiled indulgently and extended her hand.

"Come, let the Empress Dowager give you a hug. Let's all get up."

Everyone expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Grand Princess, are you missing your grandmother?"

The eldest princess laughed and opened her mouth to reveal rows of white baby teeth. She looked so cute and adorable that the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace was overwhelmed by her.

"Oh, look how beautiful she looks when she smiles."

Nanny Li looked at Leng Shuxiang and Youyou and asked, "Where are the Second and Third Princes?"

Leng Shuxiang replied respectfully: "Madam Li, the two princes are inside."

"Let's bring them out to bask in the sun, and let the Queen Mother see the two princes."

"Yes."

Leng Shuxiang and Youyou left together and walked into the hall.

It is said that after a rainstorm the sky will clear up. The sky in the morning was really blue and the sun was shining brightly.

Because it had rained, the air was very fresh.

After Shangguan Wanjun finished processing one memorial after another, she felt her eyes were a little sore and tired. She reached out to massage her eyes. At this moment, she was glad that she had not put on any makeup.

"Your Majesty, are your eyes sore?"

Shangguan Wanjun nodded slightly when she heard what her husband, Concubine Zhou, Zhengzhou Xing, said.

"Yes, an eye massage can help relieve it. If you're also feeling sore and tired, you can try it."

With the side husband - Lin Gong and said: "Okay, your minister will also try."

Just as everyone started massaging their eyes to soothe them, a voice of chanting rang out.

"The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace has arrived."

Shangguan Wanjun was originally dozing with her eyes closed and massaging her eyes. When she heard the announcement, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at the entrance of the main hall.

"Queen mother?"

Why did she come here suddenly?

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was holding the eldest princess, followed by Nanny Li who was holding the second prince, Leng Shuxiang who was holding the third prince, and Youyou who was holding something following closely.

The four concubines were puzzled when they saw the Empress Dowager Donggong and others coming in, each holding a child.

"Your Highness greets your Majesty, Mother. Why are you here?"

"I brought the children to see you. Come, my son, hug the eldest princess. This little girl's eyes are always rolling around. It seems that she is curious about everything."

Seeing the children, especially her cute and adorable daughter, her heart melted.
