The wives of the concubines are empresses

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and the noble husband of Emperor Wen, Bai Xuanyi, had their meal in the imperial study and dining room with their three children today.

Shangguan Muyu and the other two children stared at everyone eating, their eyes rolling around.

The Empress Dowager Donggong smiled as soon as she saw them: "Look at the looks in their eyes."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Lianhua holding her daughter and smiled dotingly: "Yu'er, don't worry, she will be able to eat solid food in a few months."

Lianhua looked down at the eldest princess in her arms: "Yes, then the eldest princess won't have to be jealous."

Emperor Wen’s noble husband - Bai Xuanyi shook his head helplessly.

After lunch, Shangguan Wanjun took her daughter and three children back to the bedroom in the side hall to prepare for a nap.

Just as I put my daughter on the bed, the voice of Emperor Wen’s husband, Bai Xuanyi, suddenly came.

"Your Majesty, Yu'er fell asleep?"

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned.

Emperor Wen’s noble husband-Bai Xuanyi?

How did he follow me?

Shangguan Wanjun turned to look at the man and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"To accompany you and the children."

Shangguan Wanjun lowered her head speechlessly and muttered softly.

"Who wants you to accompany me?" How could she possibly need someone to accompany her?

Because he has three children, Emperor Wen’s wife, Bai Xuanyi, dared not sleep deeply, which made his sleep even more uncomfortable.

With the children around, Shangguan Wanjun just closed her eyes and rested, her delicate hands constantly touching her daughter and son's hands, legs and feet.

After the nap, Shangguan Wanjun got up to clean up, but Emperor Wen’s husband, Bai Xuanyi, was a little faster than her.

"Xuan Yi, let's send these three back."

"Okay, it's up to you."

This time, Shangguan Wanjun held Shangguan Muxuan, Emperor Wen's noble husband Bai Xuanyi held Shangguan Muyu, and the second prince Shangguan Muchen was held by Aunt Cheng.

The couple holding the child looked like a husband and wife, attracting many palace maids to peek at them along the way. Some were even brave enough to whisper something.

"The Emperor and his concubines feel so good holding the child."

"Yeah, I can't really put it into words, but it's very heartwarming anyway."

A eunuch said, "Isn't it just a happy family of five?"

"you're right."

After arriving at Xiangxuan Pavilion, the couple interacted and played with the children for a while, making the three children giggle and making everyone else happy.

"Okay, my dear daughters and sons, we are leaving soon. We will find time to come and see you again." She bent down and kissed each child on the cheek. The three children giggled again, which made Shangguan Wanjun's heart soften.

Bai Xuanyi, the noble husband of Emperor Wen, looked at the interaction between mother and son with full of doting and tenderness. He felt that being chosen to enter the palace was the greatest blessing of his life.

His wife is gentle and dignified, talented and beautiful, and considerate; their two children are fair and cute, and they are a loving couple, known to everyone in the palace and even the entire court. Isn't this what a man pursues in his life?

Shangguan Wanjun stood up and found that the man was looking at her, seemingly fascinated.

"Xuan Yi, let's go."

Bai Xuanyi, the noble husband of Emperor Wen, suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had been distracted.

"it is good."

Leng Shuxiang and Youyou took a look and hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.

"Farewell, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Emperor."

When there were no outsiders around, the couple walked side by side out of Xiangxuan Pavilion. Halfway through, Emperor Wen's noble husband - Bai Xuanyi glanced at his quiet wife. Seeing her peaceful and gentle face, he couldn't help but be moved, and took the initiative to reach out and hold her soft and boneless hand.

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned, looked up at the smile on his face that he couldn't hide, and started laughing too. The couple strolled along the palace road, looking at the palace walls and the blue sky and white clouds above.

When they walked to a place, the aroma of wine made them both stunned.

"Where does the smell of wine come from?"

"I'm afraid Master is drinking and enjoying life."

"Should we go and have a look?"

Shangguan Wanjun wanted to go, so she smiled and nodded quickly.

"Walk."

In Shiyaxuan, Mr. Qu and Bao Zhian were drinking and playing finger-guessing games in the courtyard.

"Rock-paper-scissors."

"Master Qu, I'm awake now. I'll have a drink."

Mr. Qu, whose face was slightly red, was still sober. He smiled faintly and nodded, waiting for him to finish drinking.

"Rock, paper, scissors, rock."

"Haha, Xiao Anzi, now it's my turn to drink."

Outside the hall, Shangguan Wanjun and others had arrived. Hearing the cheerful sound of finger-guessing games inside, Shangguan Wanjun smiled.

"It seems that Master is having a lot of fun."

"You said Master-in-law was getting ready to leave."

Shangguan Wanjun was shocked when she heard this: "Ah, how could I not know?"

"The Emperor is busy with state affairs. Master didn't tell you because he was afraid of wasting your time."

Shangguan Wanjun believed what he said. After all, they had been with their master for six or seven years.

Seeing that they were drinking happily, Shangguan Wanjun didn't intend to disturb them and looked at Su Yude to give instructions.

"Send two palace guards here to guard. If there is any movement, we must go in and take a look."

"Yes."

After leaving, Shangguan Wanjun went straight back to the imperial study, and Emperor Wen's noble husband, Bai Xuanyi, had also returned to his own palace.

Seeing her come back, Minglan quickly picked up a note and handed it to her.

"Your Majesty, here is Lord Shen's post."

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned when she heard this: "Master Shen?"

"That's Mr. Shen from the Ministry of Rites."

When Shangguan Wanjun heard this, she understood instantly. She reached out to take the book and looked at it. Then she pursed her lips and smiled, looking up at Lianhua who was waiting quietly.

"Sister Lianhua, you can take a look too."

Lianhua had a premonition, but when she actually saw the content, she couldn't help feeling shy.

"What do you think?"

Ou He Mu Xiang, Sun Yue Wei and others also looked at her with curiosity. Lian Hua became even more shy when she was stared at, and lowered her head and spoke shyly.

"Your servant obeys the emperor."

"Then I grant you the marriage?"

Lianhua didn't refuse, nor did she accept, but just kept her head down shyly. Seeing this, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but smile.

"Minglan, go to the Hanlin Academy."

Minglan walked into the majestic Hanlin Academy in her female official uniform.

Upon learning of her arrival, Hanlin Academy - Zhang Zhengyang - Yang Caifu was still guessing her purpose.

After hearing Minglan's oral instructions, the Grand Secretary stroked his beard and smiled.

"Master Ming, please congratulate Master Lianhua on my behalf."

Minglan smiled politely and said, "Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you."

At the court meeting the next day, Shangguan Wanjun directly instructed Minglan to hand the imperial edict to the Left Vice Minister of Rites.

Minglan nodded respectfully, turned around and respectfully took the imperial edict from Ning Moer's hand, and walked all the way to the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Lord Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, this is the imperial decree granting the Shen family's marriage. I will return to the court later and ask you to personally announce the decree."

Upon hearing this, the Left Vice Minister of Rites hurriedly took it respectfully.

"Yes, I thank the emperor for his trust and will do my best to complete the task."

Minister of Rites - Gao Xinghua never thought that a small official like him would have such an opportunity. It seems that their family is going to move to a higher level.

The Jiang family, who were engaged to their eldest son and were about to get married, had such good luck that they were one step closer to becoming the emperor.
