Just like the empress, she returned directly to the Fujiwara family with her five sisters.
Yes, most of the daughters of the Fujiwara family entered the palace as concubines. It can be said that two-thirds of the emperor's harem were from the Fujiwara family.
This is also the reason why the Fujiwara family can act so arrogantly in the kingdom. In addition, the Fujiwara family also controls the economic lifeline of the kingdom and a lot of military forces. Many officials in the court are followers of the Fujiwara family.
After learning that half of the concubines in the harem had returned to their parents' homes due to illness, the emperor was so angry that he bought another batch of fighting cocks.
Aren't they afraid of infection? Then he would buy more and put them in the wombs of the concubines who left.
He wanted to see whether the position of concubine was more important or the rumor was more important.
A concubine who did not return to the palace for three days would be stripped of her title and demoted to a commoner.
Then, in less than half a day, all the concubines came back, bringing with them the "specialties" prepared by their respective families.
The queen went to the emperor's bedroom in person, carrying ginseng soup.
When the news reached back to the Jun family, Jun Shutong sprayed a mouthful of milk on Dongyue's face.
Dongyue didn't care about the milk on her face, and quickly patted her back, wiped her mouth, and changed her bib.
Jun Shutong: [Sister Dongyue, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. Those people in the palace were just too funny.]
[Chicken plague, hahaha, I've only heard of hypothermia. Which imperial physician was so talented to come up with such a name?]
Yi was deafened by her daughter's wild laughter. She always knew that the emperor was unreliable, so how could the concubines in the harem be so outrageous?
It’s no wonder that her son Tongtong laughed so loudly. When she first heard it, she also laughed so hard that she fell over.
Time is spent drinking milk, sleeping and listening to gossip every day.
…
Soon, it was the day of Jun Shutong's full moon.
Early in the morning, Yi changed Jun Shutong into the little dress she had always dreamed of. Her hair was long, so Xia Xue tied it into two small buns and added two light butterfly hair accessories, making her look cute no matter how she looked at her.
Jun Ruyi arrived early. Knowing that the little one liked jewelry, she specially asked someone to change a necklace with crystals.
"Tongtong, look what your aunt brought you?"
A sparkling gold necklace with two green crystals hanging on it. It was different from the one I gave her before, but equally dazzling.
Jun Shutong smiled with his eyes curved and kept babbling to his aunt.
[Wow... You are my aunt, Tongtong loves you so much. ]
[Aunt is so kind. Children who have her are like treasures.]
As she spoke, she also sang a modified version of "Only Aunt is Good in the World".
Jun Ruyi couldn't help pinching her little nose and kissing her forehead. This little girl was becoming more and more adorable.
Yi couldn't stand it anymore, so she took out the lucky bag she had prepared long ago and asked her to hold it in her hand.
"Baby, hold this."
Jun Shutong grabbed the lucky bag and squeezed it hard. There were two round things inside. What were they?
[System, please help me see what's in the lucky bag.]
[Host, it's just some Dongzhu. ]
What is Dongzhu? Pearl?
[Yes, host, you can understand it this way. However, for this world, Dongzhu is very rare.]
【Why? 】
[Because the East China Sea in this world is vast, similar to the Pacific Ocean in your China, only those with truly profound cultivation can collect the East Pearl from the depths of the East China Sea.]
It's not that these pearls are so valuable, but rather that the process of harvesting them is extremely dangerous. I've heard that the East China Sea is full of dangers, with unusual water conditions, shrouded in fog year-round, and with occasional tornadoes. Anyone who has gone there has narrowly escaped death, and even fewer have managed to return alive.
Jun Shutong was deeply moved, she knew her mother's intentions.
[Dongzhu means the apple of your eye. My mother gave me such a precious thing.]
[Wuwu…]
[My great, beautiful, gentle, and considerate mother, Tongtong loves you.]
System: Isn’t that a bit too much?
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, and the Imperial Concubine has arrived."
In the outer courtyard, the eunuch's voice made her tremble all over. The emperor, that was a legendary figure, even though he was a fool in the eyes of her parents...
She has lived two lives, and today she is about to meet the real emperor. It would be a lie to say that she is not excited.
At this time, Dongyue came to report:
"Madam, the ministers and their wives and families have come to offer congratulations."
Yi asked, "Are they with Your Majesty?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Got it. Go and entertain the distinguished guests. I'll be right out."
【The Queen is here too? 】
After hearing so much gossip, she became even more curious when she learned that the empress and several concubines were from the Fujiwara family.
[Mom, hurry up. I want to see what the emperor looks like.]
Yi carried her daughter out, and Jun Shutong waved her chubby little hands to express her inner excitement.
As soon as I entered the banquet hall, I was almost fainted by the sudden fragrance.
[Oh my god, who poured a whole bottle of perfume on himself? It's enough to kill a cow.]
Jun Shutong couldn't help but frown. When she looked carefully, she saw a pretty woman wearing a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe walking towards her.
"Meet the Queen."
"Madam Jun, please don't be polite. Let me take a look at Miss Jun."
[She's dressed so ostentatiously, is she afraid others won't know she's the queen? What proper queen would go to a minister's house for a banquet and dress like it's a grand ceremony to worship the gods?]
[And then there's the smell of this cheap perfume. Even a god would be sick if they poured the entire bottle of the best perfume on themselves. Do she and the people around her have no sense of smell?]
[He probably has no sense of smell, otherwise he would have vomited to death.]
