Harem Daily Life

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before, but now when he thinks about it, Tao Yanyan finds it strange.

Could the railings in the palace break suddenly? They should be regularly inspected and maintained.

And what a coincidence, the original owner happened to pass by that day, and the railing happened to be broken, so the original owner fell into the water and lost his life?

The emperor saw that her brows were furrowed more and more as she spoke, and he probably thought of something.

He sighed helplessly in his heart. His little Liangyi was indeed too young and ignorant of the ways of the world. She was being plotted against and still counting money for others. If he hadn't mentioned it today, she would have thought that falling into the water was just an accident!

"Don't think about it. I will investigate the truth of the matter and give you an explanation." The emperor's promise was as good as gold. Tao Yanyan rarely showed a grateful smile: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

He Linzhang looked at his little Liangyi smiling with curved eyebrows and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Someone, change my clothes for me." Qingfeng and Mingyue came over immediately and skillfully took off the emperor's outer shirt.

Tao Yanyan was in a state of panic. Her maid moved so quickly that before she could stop her, the dog had already squeezed into the same bed with her...

"Your Majesty, I, I am not feeling well and cannot sleep with you." In my heart, I was already screaming like a groundhog: I am in this condition, and you are still thinking about that? You are such a bastard!

"Well, I know you're upset, and I won't do anything. Go to bed early. I'm tired after a whole day." After saying that, Qingfeng and Mingyue lowered the curtains. They couldn't hide their excitement in their eyes and brows. They smiled, turned off the lights, and walked out.

There was a big Buddha sleeping next to her. Tao Yanyan wanted to cry but had no tears. She turned around slightly and left her back to He Linzhang.

He Linzhang thought that his little Liangyi was inevitably shy because it was her first time sleeping in the same bed with him, so he turned sideways helplessly. He put his big hand along her waist from behind and directly covered Tao Yanyan's belly.

"I'll cover you, just go to sleep." A low, magnetic voice was heard in his ears, and the warmth of the palm was transmitted to his skin. Tao Yanyan struggled with his thoughts for a while, but finally closed his eyes obediently.

This night was destined to be restless.

The most angry person was Concubine Zhao. She thought that after an afternoon of companionship, the emperor would summon her to sleep with him in the evening, but she waited and waited but got no news. Later, she learned that the emperor actually went directly to Tao Liangyi's courtyard, and she was so angry that she smashed the chessboard.

"My beauty, this chess piece is a gift from His Majesty. Each chess piece is made of warm jade and it is difficult to repair if it is broken. Please calm down, my beauty. This is the first time that Tao Liangyi has served you in the palace for several months. Your Majesty is just trying to see something new. When His Majesty gets tired of it, he will definitely come to you again." Xiangcao advised.

Xianglan didn't say anything. Her legs were almost broken after walking all day. She wanted to rest early, but Concubine Zhao was too busy. She had to take a bath and burn incense at night. Now that the emperor didn't summon her, she started to lose her temper again. No one knew when she would stop.

"You only hear the newcomers laughing, but never see the old ones crying. I have been in the palace for two years and finally got this position. I thought I could win the favor of His Majesty and get promoted. After all, there are only four of us here, so there is much less competition than in the palace. I didn't expect that bitch would get the first place on the first night!"

"You say, is it because she is prettier and younger than me that His Majesty likes her?"

Xiangcao was speechless. Thinking of Tao Liangyi's face and figure, she knew that she was indeed outstanding among the beauties in the palace.

But she couldn't praise him, so she could only say, "The beauty is quick-witted and intelligent, and His Majesty has recognized this. Tao Liangyi is illiterate, how can she compare with the beauty? Besides, His Majesty only favors the newcomers these few days. If we talk about being in tune with His Majesty, then it has to be our beauty."

Xianglan silently wiped the chess pieces she found, and then lay on the ground to look for the lost chess pieces. She wanted to say in her heart: Yes, Tao Liangyi is a beautiful and kind person, and she treats her servants more gently and compassionately than you do. Of course, Your Majesty likes kind people!

But she didn't dare say these words out loud. Concubine Zhao had a bad temper and would beat and scold the maids at any time. If she had a choice, she would not want to serve her.

But there was no way. She was sold into the Zhao family as a slave since she was a child. Later, when the young lady participated in a beauty pageant and successfully entered the palace, she was sent to the palace by the Zhao family to serve the young lady.

In the Zhao Mansion, Madam Zhao was kind and would not mistreat the servants, and would give them some rewards from time to time. Unexpectedly, when Miss Zhao became a master in the palace, her domineering nature was revealed, and she did not learn the generosity of Madam Zhao at all.

She and Chuncao were both sent to the palace by the Zhao family. Whenever Concubine Zhao was unhappy, she would beat and scold them to vent her anger. Since the other servants were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Concubine Zhao never beat or scolded those people in order to maintain her talented image.

It’s a pity for her and Xiangcao. They did the most work for Concubine Zhao, but they were also the ones who got beaten and scolded the most.

Sometimes, Xianglan wanted to just make a mistake and have Concubine Zhao kicked her out of Lingyun Pavilion. But she was afraid that Concubine Zhao would think she was her confidant and would rather kill her than let her go, so she didn't dare to make this idea.

Seeing Concubine Zhao's furious look, she had no choice but to lower her head and do her work, hoping that she would stop being furious soon and let her go back to rest.

"My beauty, it's late at night and everyone is asleep. You should go to bed early. Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives might hear you and accuse you of jealousy!" Vanilla tried to persuade her for a long time, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to persuade her in this way.

When Lady Zhao heard this, her voice became softer, but her tears were still flowing. She hesitated for a while before she fell asleep.

Vanilla and Xianglan turned off the lights and went out of the room. Then they looked at each other and let out a breath.

"Xiangcan, let's rest early. My feet are all rubbed after walking all day." Xianglan said.

"Let's go and apply the ointment. I didn't expect Concubine Zhao to be so cruel that she didn't even ask us to ride in the carriage all day." Vanilla was also a little disheartened.

"I don't know what to do for tomorrow. It would be great if Your Majesty could stay in Weicheng for two more days so we can have a rest. Also, what should we do next time? We have to think of a way. Otherwise, how can we bear to keep walking like this!" Xianglan was glad that she brought two extra pairs of shoes. Otherwise, if she walked like this today, the soles of her shoes would be worn out by the end.

"What else can we do? The person we met was not Tao Liangyi. I really envy Qingfeng and Mingyue. You didn't see that they were having dinner with Tao Liangyi. They came all the way in the carriage and didn't walk a single step." Vanilla felt more and more heartbroken as she spoke, and tears were about to fall.

People really can't be compared. Once compared, they look like two poor little things!
