The wives of the concubines are empresses

The beautiful concubine Hu Siyang sat on Shangguan Wanjun's left, the scholar concubine Gao Zihao sat on her right, and the virtuous concubine Lin Gong and the beautiful concubine Feng Jinghan sat on the opposite sides.

Shu Fei-Gao Zihao picked up a piece of cherry meat and put it into Shangguan Wanjun's bowl.

"Your Majesty, please eat more meat."

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned: "You don't think I'm thin too, do you?"

She weighs 95 kilograms, which is not considered thin.

Shu Fei-Gao Zihao looked slightly embarrassed, he hadn't thought that much.

"Your Majesty, please eat more of the cherry meat."

The beautiful concubine Hu Siyang picked up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks and put it in the emperor's bowl.

"Your Majesty, a combination of meat and vegetables is more nutritious. Please eat."

Shangguan Wanjun picked up the food and started eating. It felt better to have someone accompany her than to eat alone.

Concubine Hui-Feng Jinghan thoughtfully served a bowl of chicken soup and placed it carefully in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, have a bowl of chicken soup to warm yourself up."

"Okay, thank you, my dear."

When Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi learned that four concubines would accompany the emperor for lunch today, he felt a little jealous. Thinking of what he had promised the emperor, he sighed softly.

As expected, the person who is moved first is destined to be the lonely person.

He was alone before, but he didn't feel lonely.

After entering the palace and getting along with the emperor slowly, he began to like and even fall in love with him, and the loneliness of these days gradually became apparent.

He didn't eat much for lunch today, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked someone to clear them away.

Chen Lie was a little worried when he saw that his concubine didn't eat much.

"Lord, would you like to eat a little more?"

Concubine Wen-Bai Xuanyi shook her head: "No need, please withdraw."

Chen Lie had no choice but to have his men withdraw.

After lunch, Shangguan Wanjun just stood up and felt uncomfortable in her stomach.

Concubine Gao Zihao hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Shangguan Wanjun held her stomach in pain, and the beautiful concubine Hu Siyang hurriedly supported her.

Lianhua was shocked when she thought of the emperor's day: "Your Majesty, is your period coming?"

Shangguan Wanjun said with difficulty: "Maybe."

Concubine Hui Fengjingyun bent down and picked her up, and Shangguan Wanjun was startled.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, I will hold you and let you lie on the couch. This will make you feel better."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun nodded.

Lianhua went to the imperial kitchen to make brown sugar water in person.

Minglan, Muxiang and others followed closely behind and arrived at the soft couch in the main hall of the imperial study. Minglan hurriedly took a soft pillow and placed it against the wall.

"Your Majesty, please lean back on the pillow. Lady Lianhua will bring the brown sugar water in a moment."

Seeing the emperor in pain, they felt bad too.

Shangguan Wanjun held her stomach weakly with both hands: "Minglan, are you also in this kind of pain and discomfort when you come here?"

Minglan shook her head and nodded again: "This is because I didn't take good care of myself during my confinement period, which caused the illness."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun sighed softly.

"Being a woman is such a struggle. Why don't men have it too? It's so unfair."

The four side lords were all embarrassed at this moment.

As men, they really cannot experience or empathize with the pain a woman suffers during her menstrual period.

Concubine Gao Zihao brought a cup of hot tea: "Your Majesty, would you like another cup of hot tea?"

Shangguan Wanjun took it and drank it, and her stomach felt a little better.

Liuli Youyou had already brought the menstrual belt, and seeing that all the concubines were there, the two felt a little embarrassed.

While the four of them waited outside, Liuli Youyou quickly changed the menstrual belt for the emperor.

After the four people came in, Lianhua’s brown sugar water also arrived.

"Your Majesty, come and have some brown sugar water. I made it myself." Not missing a single moment.

Concubine Hui Fengjingyun stretched out her hand: "Give it to me, I will feed the emperor."

The beautiful concubine Hu Siyang picked up another soft pillow and placed it behind the emperor so that she could sit up a little straighter.

"Your Majesty, come here." Feng Jinghan's tone was gentle and his movements were soft. After he fed her personally, Shangguan Wanjun quickly finished a bowl of brown sugar water.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Minglan and said, "If women don't have this, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for decades."

Minglan shook her head, and Muxiang looked at her in confusion.

"What does it mean when Lord Ming shakes his head?"

Minglan sighed, "There's another way to temporarily stop your period."

Shangguan Wanjun was delighted and quickly asked, "What is it?"

Minglan said a little embarrassedly, "If you're pregnant, you won't have your period for at least nine to ten months."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun just wanted to laugh.

That's for a few months without your period, but giving birth will also involve a lot of bleeding, and that's no joke.

There was a slight change on the faces of the four concubines, but they were brought back to their original state by Shangguan Wanjun's next words.

"I'd better take care of myself for two years before I talk about getting pregnant and having a child." She had her own plan for this matter.

The four side lords felt a little disappointed when they heard this.

Thinking of the emperor's current age, everyone felt distressed.

In the following time, the four people took turns reading the memorials, one person was responsible for reviewing the annotations, and Shangguan Wanjun was responsible for stamping the imperial seal to complete the task.

"Your Majesty, please be kind:

Everything is going well in this county recently. I wonder how the emperor is doing..." When Mr. Lin read this, he was so angry that he wanted to swear.

"What kind of person is this? He talks nonsense and a lot of long-winded words." I really want to jump in and give him a few slaps in the face.

"There's too much nonsense in the review. Next time, ask him to simplify it, or else send him back home to farm."

Gao Zihao, the concubine who was reviewing the book, was surprised: "Ah, farming?"

Is it that serious?

Shangguan Wanjun looked at him leisurely: "What's the matter, my beloved concubine, do you want to try farming?"

The virtuous concubine, Lin Gongyu, quickly shook her head like a rattle.

"Handsome man, keep going." Keep on cursing without stopping.

Concubine Hui Fengjingyun raised her hand and gently rubbed Shangguan Wanjun's belly to make her feel better.

Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Hui - Lord Lin's handsome face blushed shyly.

Shangguan Wanjun, feeling uncomfortable, didn't notice anything unusual about him, and the looks of the other concubines spoke for themselves.

As early as Shangguan Wanjun's first two menstrual periods, she ordered all the women in the palace to drink brown sugar water, and the money came from her private treasury, which aroused the admiration and loyalty of the palace maids.

When Eunuch Lin entered the palace, it was already five quarters past three in the afternoon. Shangguan Wanjun had already finished reviewing the memorials, and only the beautiful concubine Hu Siyang stayed to accompany her.

"Eunuch Lin, how are you these days?"

Eunuch Lin, standing below, bowed respectfully, "I'm fine, Your Majesty. Thank you for your concern. You look tired, but what's wrong?"

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head: "It's just my stomach that feels uncomfortable."

Eunuch Lin was about to ask more questions with concern, but suddenly remembered that the emperor must be having his period.

"Then Your Majesty must take care of himself these days."

Menstruation is very painful for women.

"Okay. By the way, have you visited the Queen Mother?"

Eunuch Lin said, "Not yet."

"Then go ahead and talk to my mother." Now my mother lives alone in Fushou Palace, and she is always busy and really has no time to accompany her. It would be good to have someone to talk to her.

Eunuch Lin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this old servant will take his leave."

As he stepped over the threshold, Shangguan Wanjun's voice rang out again.

"Eunuch Lin, if you have a suitable person, please bring him to me for a look."

Eunuch Lin paused, then turned around and slightly bent his body.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He was deeply shocked by the emperor's decree that eunuchs could marry, after all, this had never been done in any dynasty.
