The wives of the concubines are empresses

Three years later, Liu Qingshu and Liuli were recalled to Beijing by an imperial edict from the empress, who also sent officials to take over Shundao County.

Gong Huifang and the propaganda army, who had been away for many years, took their families and boarded a carriage to the capital.

"Mother, how long will it take?"

The speaker was the couple's daughter Xuan Hongyun, who was four years old and had a delicate appearance. Gong Huifang had braided her hair into four braids, each of which was bent into a semicircle and tied with a red rope, which made her skin look even fairer and cuter.

"Yun'er, be good. They will be here in a few days." I have been away from Beijing for several years and I don't know how my eldest son and youngest son are doing.

Time flies so fast, her eldest son is already six or seven years old.

After leaving the court, Shangguan Wanjun brought her young concubine Mu Wennian and her military concubine Zhu Wu to Xiangxuan Pavilion. The spacious courtyard was filled with the cheerful voices of children.

"Shangguan Muwen, you bully the weak, Lai Kebao." It's so annoying. Fourth brother always bullies people.

Seeing that his dear third sister was angry, Shangguan Muwen hurried forward, hugged her in his arms, and patted her back gently.

"Good Yun'er, it's all fourth brother's fault." The fifth princess is called Shangguan Muyun, and her nickname is Yun'er.

Watching the children fighting, Shangguan Wanjun coughed to interrupt the awkwardness between them.

"Queen Mother?" The quiet Shangguan Musi looked up in shock.

Why is the Queen Mother here today?

Shangguan Wanjun smiled at her gently: "Hello, Si'er."

This daughter has always been quiet and likes quietness.

The fifth prince Shangguan Mucha ran over and hugged the empress whose belly was bulging. She reached out and stroked her son's head.

"Look at you, you're sweating all over." Boys are indeed more active than girls. Look at him, he's sweating all over.

"Mother Queen, are your younger brothers and sisters well behaved in your belly?" The empress who was wiping his sweat was stunned. Her son actually cared about the children in her belly.

She is now five months pregnant, but this time she is pregnant with triplets. The fathers of the children in her belly are her husband Mu Wennianhe, her husband Lin Gong, and her husband Zhu Wu.

Shangguan Wanjun curled her lips gently: "Very well behaved."

The young concubine, Mu Wennian, and the military concubine, Zhu Wu, watched the interaction between the mother and son and smiled at each other.

After so many years, the two of them can finally hold their heads high and show off their wealth. The emperor is pregnant with their child.

Now the eldest princess Shangguan Muyu, the second prince Shangguan Muchen and the third prince Shangguan Muxuan have all entered the Shangshufang to attend classes, but due to their age, they are not in the same class as the eldest prince Shangguan Muchan.

Shangguan Mucang, who is already ten years old, is becoming more mature and stable every year, and is becoming more and more like a big brother. He is also very outstanding. He is not only proficient in both literature and martial arts, but also in calligraphy and painting.

At lunch time, Shangguan Mucang went straight to the imperial study after class, and just happened to meet the people from the imperial kitchen delivering the meal.

Shangguan Wanjun was a little surprised when she saw her son suddenly appear.

"Cang'er, why are you here suddenly?" Her son is different from before. He is a little aloof now. Not only that, he also has a cold temperament. Sometimes when the mother and son stand together, people can tell at a glance that they are biological children.

Shangguan Mucang said calmly, "Come to Queen Mother's place for a free meal."

He didn't want to go back to have dinner with his younger brothers and sisters because they were too noisy.

Upon hearing this reason, Shangguan Wanjun was silent for a moment. Her son was worthy of being her son, he was very direct.

"Then please sit down. How are your studies going lately?"

"good."

Tsk tsk tsk, her son is so cold and taciturn, really like the domineering CEOs in the novels she read in her previous life, the kind of person who is cold and aloof, taciturn, and has a cold temperament.

The ones reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study today are General Nan Shaoan, the new husband of the emperor - Lan Naxin, the Qing husband - Wang Qing - Commander, and the Yang husband - Zhang Zhengyang - Editor of the Hanlin Academy.

General Nan Shaoan's current rank among his concubines is that of a second-rank concubine, and the three concubines, Lan Naxin, Wang Qing, and Zhang Zhengyang, have also been promoted in rank.

The four concubines and the eldest prince had lunch with the empress. The dining hall was much quieter than before. Perhaps it was because they had all matured a lot and were different from when they were young.

Shangguan Mucang said goodbye after finishing his meal, which made the empress blink.

"This child is becoming more stable and mature." But he is a little too cold.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and sighed.

"Cang'er was more interesting when he was little." As expected, the child is no longer close to her now that he has grown up. She feels quite aggrieved when she thinks about it.

Yang Jun's husband, Zhang Zhengyang, helped her up and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is ten years old after all. Let's ignore him for now. You are pregnant now, so you should take a nap."

The three side lords watched him take the person away and looked at each other in confusion.

Back in the side hall, Yang Jun's husband, Zhang Zhengyang, carefully helped the empress sit down.

"Your Majesty, are you going to sleep now?"

"Sleep." She was a pregnant woman, and pregnant women are the most sleepy, no matter which baby she had.

Yang Junfu - Zhang Zhengyang personally helped her wash and change clothes, and finally helped her lie down gently and carefully, and then took off his clothes and lay down.

Smelling the faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance and body odor of the empress, he quickly fell asleep.

When the empress woke up, she found a clear and ignorant face beside the bed.

"Ranran? Why are you running here instead of taking a nap?"

"Sister, I miss you." Shangguan Wanjun felt that she had heard this sentence for several years and was tired of it.

"Next time, change the line. My ears are getting calluses from hearing it."

Quan Ran, who has been promoted to Ran Xuanfu, shows two rows of white teeth.

"Sister Fairy, let's go out and play."

The empress looked at him speechlessly after hearing this: "I'm a pregnant woman, and you want me to play with you? How do we play?"

This kid... never mind, he's just a kid after all.

The empress packed up and walked out of the side hall, then came to the main hall of the imperial study. She found that Yang Jun's husband, Zhang Zhengyang, had already reviewed many memorials. She couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Liuzi, what time is it now?" Could it be that she has been sleeping for a long time?

"Your Majesty, it is now 1:30 PM." His emperor always slept well every time he was pregnant, which made him very envious.

Hearing that she had slept for an hour, the empress couldn't help but sigh.

"Pregnant women are indeed sleepy." It's really not easy for her.

The Queen Mother of the West Palace has been very quiet in recent years, which has made the Queen Mother of the East Palace look at her with admiration. However, she also understands the situation in her heart, after all, they have known each other for more than 20 years.

The next morning, the Empress Dowager of the Western Palace returned to her parents' home to visit with the dual permission of the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and the Empress.

The Amber family, who had learned about it two days ago, began preparing that day.

When the Empress Dowager Xigong arrived at Anbo Mansion, everyone in the Zhang family knelt down and bowed in respect.

"Welcome to the Queen Mother of the West Palace, and greet her."

Nanny Cui helped the Empress Dowager of the Western Palace out of the carriage, while Li Ning and He Yuan were waiting respectfully beside her.

After the Queen Mother Xigong stood still, she spoke softly to everyone.

"No gift."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager Xigong."

The empress in the palace went to Fushou Palace for lunch and saw her daughter's bulging belly. The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace sighed that her daughter's belly was really capable of giving birth. If it were in the previous dynasty, she would be able to gain a firm foothold and enjoy eternal favor just by giving birth to a child.
