The wives of the concubines are empresses

Shangguan Wanjun laughed in her heart: These people have found the trick.

"Not bad, reward."

After running several times, Minglan finally got a rest. Lianhua came forward with a pearl flower.

"grown ups."

"I thank the emperor for the reward." Then he took it respectfully.

"Which department is the lord in?"

The adult who had just received the reward was delighted to hear this and bowed respectfully.

"I work in the Ministry of Revenue."

The Minister of Revenue looked at this man and was impressed by him. This man had real talent and knowledge, but he was too upright and had been ostracized by his colleagues for many years and had remained unknown.

Shangguan Wanjun became interested. Isn’t the Ministry of Revenue the department where Concubine De’s father worked?

"What rank, and how many years have you served?"

"I am a seventh-rank official and have been in this position for ten years." He was tired of sitting in this position because there was no hope of promotion.

Shangguan Wanjun gasped. A person has been working in the same position for ten years without getting promoted. Is it because of incompetence, or is he hiding his incompetence, or is he being marginalized?

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the Minister of Revenue in confusion.

"Is the Minister of Revenue familiar with this gentleman?"

The Minister of Revenue bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this man's name is Yan Jinyan. He works diligently, honestly and selflessly."

The emperor asked directly, and he didn't want to say anything bad about the other person, so he just said what he could.

Shangguan Wanjun pondered these words carefully in her heart. The fact that he had been working diligently in the same position for ten years proved that this person should still be useful.

However, if you are honest and selfless, it will inevitably affect the interests of some people and you will definitely be excluded.

After clearing her mind, she said slowly: "If you want to be honest and selfless, then you should go to the Censorate. Oh, your name is Yan..."

Although Yan Jinyan was happy in his heart, he was not promoted, but at least he changed his position.

"Your Majesty, I am speaking strictly."

Hearing his name, Shangguan Wanjun pursed her lips and nodded.

"I hope you will do your job well, just like your name suggests. I am a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments." Since he is too upright, she should still give him some advice.

If this person could understand, it would be worth it for her to change his job for him.

"Your Majesty's words are respected."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun was happy. Fortunately, this person was not too stubborn.

Seeing the depressed atmosphere at the palace banquet, Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly.

"Why did it stop so suddenly? No one can continue the conversation?"

Yun Yangfan, the second son of Grand Tutor Yun, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to join in the fun."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled slightly: "Sure."

"East and west, east and west."

Master Yun was the first to laugh out loud, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

"It's okay, just keep thinking."

Shangguan Wanjun didn't care about this harmless little episode.

"reward."

Lianhua came forward holding a gold leaf: "Sir."

"I thank the emperor for his reward."

Seeing that he was calmer than a golden leaf, everyone was racking their brains to think of a sentence.

The dandy Concubine Yun, Zhao Jieyunfan, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I just thought of a sentence."

Zhao Renwei, the Minister of Taichang Temple, looked at this bastard in surprise. Can he do it?

"Okay." Shangguan Wanjun remembered that this was a playboy who actually joined in the fun.

Concubine Yun - Zhao Yunfan said seriously: "South, north, south, north ...

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and said, "We've already told you everything, east, west, north, south, up, down, left, and right. I want to see who else can match it. I'm really looking forward to it."

Everyone's brains hurt from thinking about it.

"You are Concubine Yun, right? You are the one who appreciates flowers."

Lianhua knew that her master did not give her any items, so she knew that her master was rewarding her with gold leaves.

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, thank you." He never expected that the emperor would remember him, an unfavored playboy.

Ouhe wanted to say something but stopped herself and was seen by Shangguan Wanjun.

"Ouhe, do you already have the answer in your mind?" The little girl seemed to be hesitant to speak, which made her curious.

Ouhe froze. Was she discovered by her master?

"I do have one in my mind." Oh, how did the master notice it?

The Empress Dowager Donggong sneered: "If you have it, then tell me."

Ouhe didn't expect that the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace would also tease her.

"Run on the ground, on the ground, on the ground, on the ground."

A pleasant voice was heard, and everyone realized it was the emperor.

"That's interesting. It reminds me of something else. Under heaven, under ...

Ouhe was stunned. Just because she said it casually, the emperor had another inspiration. It turned out that she was talented.

Madam Song, who was gentle, dignified, quiet and gentle, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am here to join in the fun."

Shangguan Wanjun looked up and felt that the face looked familiar, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed like she had never seen it before.

"Ma'am, please speak."

"Civil and military, civil and military."

Everyone was happy, thinking that this sentence was not bad.

There was a burst of applause, and everyone realized that it was the emperor who was clapping.

"I told you, there are a lot of talented people."

The Empress Dowager Xigong smiled gently: "Your Majesty is right. Do you want a reward for Lord Ouhe and that lady?"

"Appreciate and pity the flowers."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, Madam, you look familiar. Have I seen you before?"

Concubine Xuan-Song Xuanyi bowed: "Your Majesty, Madam Song is my husband's mother."

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly realized: "No wonder I felt familiar with you, it turns out you two look alike."

After the two sat down, Madam Li, the wife of the commander of the guards, stood up.

"Your Majesty, this subject also has a pair."

"please say."

Madam Li, the commander of the guards, said respectfully, "Cry and laugh, cry and laugh, cry and laugh, come on."

"Well, very good, reward."

Listening to Lei's poetry couplets, Shangguan Wanjun felt her ears a little tired.

"Let's enjoy the song and dance."

At this palace banquet, some people remained unknown, some kept watching, and some made their mark.

While some are sad, others are happy. Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao was surprised that the emperor would come to his palace after the palace banquet.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

"My beloved concubine, please don't be so polite. Why haven't I seen you writing any poems or songs today?" She just asked casually out of confusion, but didn't want to see the coldness that flashed across the boy's eyes.

"I am not good at poetry and songs." He was just a concubine's son at home, and the eldest son. He was an eyesore to his mistress, so how could he get a better education?

Shangguan Wanjun thought that this man must be unpopular at home, which is why he has such a cold personality.

Kang Cong, the follower of Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao, felt sad when he heard this and felt sorry for his master.

Shangguan Wanjun did not miss the resentment and unwillingness in her followers' eyes, and she felt that the story here was too complicated.

"It doesn't matter if you're not good at poetry or songs. Everyone has something they're good at in life. It doesn't have to be either civil or military."

Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao was stunned when she heard this. How could the emperor be so open-minded and cheerful?

Facing the surprise in his eyes, Shangguan Wanjun sneered.

"Why, you don't agree with what I say?"

"No, I dare not."

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly smiled and said, "Speak sincerely, why not? I'm not going to kill you."

Guard Li Jiang frowned when he heard this, and felt that the emperor was also someone who was easy to get along with.

Seeing that the other party was still in a daze, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but say a few more words.

"It's like the storytellers in teahouses telling stories from traditional Chinese books with great passion and emotion. That's what they're good at."

Shangguan Wanjun then looked at Concubine Kang's entourage: "For example, my beloved concubine's entourage may not seem very smart, but he is loyal to his master. This is also one of his strengths."

Kang Hua was stunned. Why was he suddenly praised by the emperor?
