The wives of the concubines are empresses

Hearing her call him Wu Lang, Wu's concubine Zhu Wu was shocked.

The emperor actually called me Wu Lang?

Did he hear wrongly?

At this time, Baipin's wife, Jiang Ruobai, came to the emperor to pay her respects.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well."

Shangguan Wanjun raised her hand joyfully: "No need to be polite, my dear husband, please stand up. You must be tired from the long journey. Please drink some water and eat something to fill your stomach."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I ate some dry food on the way and I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're not hungry yet. Sit down and rest for a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After he sat down, Shangguan Wanjun looked at Wu's concubine Zhu Wu and spoke with a faint smile.

"I will weave a double climbing knot pendant for you, which symbolizes good fortune and peace."

Although he had just returned, he also found something wrong. Many of the side lords seemed very happy, and they were all fiddling with some pendants. Some were on their wrists, some on their fingers, some around their necks, some on their waists, and some were just playing with them. He seemed to understand a little.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. You two are the ones who are tired after all the travel. Eat something to fill your stomach, don't starve."

"Okay." Wu's concubine Zhu Wu took the plate of osmanthus cake handed to him by Lianhua, picked up a piece of exquisite cake and started eating.

Shangguan Wanjun looked up at him while knitting. When their eyes met, they smiled at each other, and then Shangguan Wanjun lowered her eyes to complete the final operation.

She reached out again and picked up a white jade bead from the desk and strung it on top of the knot, then tied a tight knot. After confirming that there was no problem, she raised her hand and picked up another white jade bead and strung it under the outer knot, and then tied two tight knots.

"Okay, you're done. Let's take a look at your knot pendant."

Wu's concubine - Zhu Wu stretched out his hand to pass the pastry to the side, Lu Yan'er immediately took it, and Sun Yuewei quickly handed over a clean handkerchief. After he wiped it clean, he reached out to take the pendant in front of him and looked at it and admired it.

"It looks very nice. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

"polite."

Seeing the double climbing knot white jade bead pendant with an orange rope in his hand, Baipinfu - Jiang Ruobai looked up with envy.

"Your Majesty, what is the knot of your subject's husband?"

Shangguan Wanjun looked at him with a smile and said, "I'll weave a money knot for you, which means good things come in pairs and money will roll in."

Good things come in pairs?

"This is good. If your subject likes it, then thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

After she used white agate beads, jade beads, gold beads and silver beads to weave and string them together, a Ruyi Ice Flower Knot waist pendant with four types of beads was completed. The four beads were all strung together below the knot, which looked pretty good.

"Give."

Baipinfu - Jiang Ruobai stepped forward and took it.

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

Next are the pendants of other side gentlemen. The yellow rope Sakyamuni knot waist pendant made of Suhang brocade is worn by Fanfu, with a white pearl strung on the top and bottom, which means turning misfortune into good fortune and bringing blessings in times of trouble.

Ordinary people make a wish for a blue rope ribbon with gold beads and copper plate pendant, which symbolizes good fortune, wealth, longevity and the blessing of three stars.

The miner Zhang Wukai wore a waist pendant with an orange rope and dragon eye knot and pearls.

"This symbolizes holiness, strength, and nobility. I hope your future life will be like this dragon eye knot pearl pendant."

The miner Zhang Wukai reached out to take it. This was probably the most formal gift in his life.

Other side gods include the two-color double-coin knot that symbolizes rolling in wealth and abundant financial resources; the three-color plum blossom knot that symbolizes nobleness and tenacity; and the single-color red rope double-coin knot that symbolizes rolling in wealth and abundant financial resources.

After all, there was only one flower rope left, and the only accessories were a pair of small bells.

Yuan Xinling looked at the desk, which was mostly empty, and suddenly realized that her master had used up many things.

"Your Majesty, just tie a red string and a pair of small bells."

"Give it to me."

"For the last one, just knit it together."

Xu Yuanwei, the mortal who was giving her a shoulder massage, asked curiously, "Your Majesty, who are you going to give this to?"

"I won't give it to anyone, I'll wear it myself."

Liu Cheng frowned, "But Your Majesty, where are you going to string this bell together and wear it? Will it disturb you while you're reviewing memorials?"

The concubines, female officials and others also had the same doubts.

"I only wear it occasionally, it won't affect anything."

After she finished weaving, Concubine Wen's wife, Li Youwen, looked at the tiny circle and spoke in surprise.

"So the emperor wants to wear it on his wrist."

"Wrong, I want to wear it on my feet."

"Ah, on your feet? Why?"

Shangguan Wanjun said seriously, "Of course it's fun."

Li Youwen, the wife of Wenpin, curled her lips and said, "It's better to wear it on your wrist so you can see it every day."

Shangguan Wanjun rolled her eyes at him and said, "You really don't listen. Xiao Liuzi even said that it would disturb my daily review of memorials. Are you trying to murder me?"

The concubine, Lin Gong, echoed: "That's right, what are your intentions?"

"I, I, I... I didn't mean that." Oh, how should he explain it? He couldn't just say that he wanted the emperor to wear it on his wrist like him.

But after listening to what the emperor and eunuch Liu said, it seems to make sense.

Forget it, for the emperor’s sake, he should wear it alone.

"Okay, stop imagining this. It's already late, and I'm a little hungry."

Mu Xiang said, "Your Majesty, it's five minutes past midnight."

Shangguan Wanjun looked up in shock: "Five minutes past midnight?"

Has it been so long?

It's already eight o'clock in the evening, no wonder she is hungry.

Mu Xiang was glad that she had asked the imperial kitchen to prepare more meals so that she wouldn't be in a rush when the meal was suddenly served.

Fushou Palace

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace enjoyed a soothing massage from the palace maids while listening to Li Ma's report.

"Has the meal been served in the Imperial Study?"

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"This kid suddenly had the idea to knit a pendant by hand, and he wasn't afraid of getting himself tired."

"The Emperor must be tired today. I heard that he went to Consort Hua's palace this afternoon. They stayed there for a long time and asked for water several times."

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace sighed, "I suddenly feel sorry for her. An ordinary person with so many husbands would be dizzy and dazzled. But this child has managed to treat everyone equally. Even though there have been some minor quarrels in the harem over the years, it's still relatively harmonious and united."

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

In the imperial study, Shangguan Wanjun began to feel sleepy after eating and drinking.

"Si Yang, go see my fifth brother after the morning court tomorrow. Sister Lian Hua, remember to remind me to bring you along."

Yang's concubine-Hu Siyang was stunned for a moment: the emperor is still thinking about his fifth brother.

Thinking of Lianhua, he sighed that it was very happy to be her lady-in-waiting and palace maid.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Lianhua said respectfully, "I will definitely keep this in mind."

It's really difficult for the emperor. He has to remind himself even when he's so sleepy that he's yawning.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the usually indifferent Concubine Qiao - Su Kangqiao.

"Kangqiao, you will accompany Zhou Xing tomorrow. We will then go to the Su Mansion, and you can visit your grandmother while we're there. Lunch will be at the Hu Mansion, and dinner at the Zheng Mansion. That's a happy decision."

She stood up and rubbed her sore waist. She was really exhausted today. She decided to do this kind of thing separately next time.
