Harem Daily Life

He Linzhang looked at the kneeling Concubine Xian, frowned and said, "You may be drunk. Come, help Concubine Xian go back to rest."

Eunuch Zhang came forward with the palace maids, but Concubine Xian looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, are you blaming me too? I only wanted to build a good relationship with Concubine Shu and repair my relationship with the Queen Mother, so I offered wine to Concubine Shu. May I ask what I did wrong?"

She was certain that she would be deceiving the emperor if she told Shu Fei about her pregnancy before she was sure of it.

He Linzhang glanced at the Queen Mother and was also a little displeased, but he couldn't discuss who was right and who was wrong with her in front of so many people. Now he could only persuade Concubine Xian to leave quickly: "Zhang Fuhai, why don't you help Concubine Xian back to the palace!"

But when Eunuch Zhang tried to help him, he refused to get up! And he couldn't force him to get up!

The Queen Mother's face darkened and she looked at Eunuch Qin. Eunuch Qin hurriedly used his eyes to comfort her, and advised the Queen Mother not to lose her temper, as if she did there would be no way to end it.

He Linzhang frowned even deeper, not understanding what Concubine Xian was trying to do.

There are so many people watching! Do you want me to question the Queen Mother in front of everyone on my birthday?

Is she crazy!

The Queen was also very angry. This was the birthday banquet she had personally organized. If it was messed up because of Concubine Xian, she would lose to Concubine Gui who took the lead in organizing the banquet last year!

When he was in a difficult situation, Tao Yanyan shook his head and walked up to Concubine Xian.

Everyone was shocked!

Everyone knew that Concubine Tao and Concubine Xian had just had a fight, so what was Concubine Tao going to do now?

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were both sweating, "Don't add to the chaos, little darling!"

Tao Yanyan bent down and held Concubine Xian's arm. In Concubine Xian's disgusted eyes, he said slowly: "Since Concubine Xian had a miscarriage, her mood has been unstable. I'm afraid it's because she is too sad. Concubine Xian, please stop kneeling. The Queen Mother is worried about you. If you don't take good care of your body, how can you have children for the royal family in the future?"

She hugged Xianfei regardless of her resistance and whispered in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't force me to tell you the story of the neighbor's young wife's miscarriage. Everyone here is smart and knows how to associate!"

The virtuous concubine turned pale and gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really want to get involved in the dispute between me and the Queen Mother? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Tao Yanyan patted her back, which seemed to be a gentle comfort to outsiders, but in fact, Tao Yanyan's words were a threat: "I don't care, but if you make him lose face in front of everyone on his birthday tonight, I will make you pay! Do you want to live or die today? Do you want him to hate you or continue to spoil you? It depends on your choice. The story of the little wife is not to scare you. I can really tell you. If you want to die, just try it!"

Xianfei was so angry that her breathing was heaving. Tao Yanyan endured her displeasure and continued to slap her a few times before backing away: "Your Majesty, let me help you up!"

Tao Yanyan grabbed Concubine Xian's arm, and the two stood up while struggling with each other.

Xian Fei suppressed the hatred in her heart and said, "Your Majesty, I did drink too much, and I thought about my miscarriage, and I am depressed. I hope Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will forgive me."

The Queen Mother said nothing, and He Linzhang said, "Since you are drunk, I don't blame you. Sit down."

Tao Yanyan personally sent the person back to her seat before getting up and returning to his own seat.

The Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine exchanged glances and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

The Queen and Concubine Shu couldn't help but look at Lady Tao a few more times. Who would have thought that under such circumstances, she could actually persuade the man to get well? What a mysterious operation!

Tao Yanyan ignored everyone's gazes. She saw that the clan members and court officials had started drinking and chatting again, so she felt relieved. New dishes were served in front of her, and she began to eat her rice again.

He Linzhang's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the rose-red figure, full of tenderness.

The Queen Mother had lost interest. She sat for a while and then said, "I am tired. I will go back to the palace first. You guys can continue to have fun!"

Everyone stood up to see them off, and several concubines also found excuses to accompany the Queen Mother. Suddenly, there was a lot more space.

There were also clan members and court officials who came to toast the emperor. Everyone was relaxed, and as the party drew to a close, they all found their own small circles to toast each other.

There were only two people in the whole place who were very lonely, one was Concubine Xian, and the other was Concubine Tao.

The two most beautiful women in the harem were very quiet around them, but Tao Yanyan didn't care. When he was a social animal, he was used to being alone. No one bothered him, so he could just eat and eat.

The virtuous concubine is aloof and arrogant. I look down on everyone. None of you scumbags, please stay away from me.

He Linzhang saw everything and had a direct understanding of Concubine Xian's lack of sociability and the little beauty's greed.

"Okay, I'm a little drunk, and it's getting late, so let's all go. Be careful on your way back, and get home safely."

Everyone stood up: "Yes, we will take our leave. We respectfully send your Majesty off!"

The queen wanted to help the emperor, but He Linzhang waved his hand and said, "The banquet hosted by the queen is very good. Go back and have a rest. I will come to see you another day."

The queen paused and said, "Yes, thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" She then retracted her outstretched hand.

He Linzhang walked down the stairs after he finished speaking. Concubine Xian stepped forward in delight and said, "Your Majesty, your concubine..."

"You should go back first and drink a bowl of sobering soup to sober you up." Concubine Xian was stunned and almost wanted to cry again.

He Linzhang walked straight past her, past Concubine De, Concubine Shu, several imperial concubines, and came to Lady Tao, and held out his hand: "You must be full, I will walk back with you to help you digest the food."

Tao Yanyan smiled, put her little hand in his and let him hold it, then left the hall under the complicated gazes of everyone.

Princess Jing took Prince Jing's arm and said, "Wow, so sweet, so sweet. My visit tonight was not in vain. They are so delicious!"

Prince Jing looked at her lovingly and said, "I can also lead you in public. Let's go. Don't envy others. We can do it too."

Not only Prince Jing and his wife, but all other couples who were on good terms left together, in pairs, making those who were alone even more lonely.

Tonight, also accompanied by moonlight, Tao Yanyan seemed to be back to the Mid-Autumn Festival night last month.

"I am very curious, how did you convince her?"

Tao Yanyan glanced at He Linzhang from the side and said, "Your Majesty does not need to know the secrets between women."

I am a handsome and stupid guy. I don't want to tell you the truth about your beloved concubine lying to you on your birthday, so as not to make you sad. Don't ask me now. I won't tell you even if you kill me.

He Linzhang laughed: "You are the first person who dares not to answer my question."

He squeezed her hand and gave her a helpless warning, but in his heart he thought that the virtuous concubine must have some leverage over her, otherwise given her temperament, she would not have cooperated.

But what is it? I really want to know.

Hot water had already been prepared in Yingyue Pavilion. When Mingyue and others saw their beauty being led back by the emperor, their faces lit up with joy and they all knelt down to welcome His Majesty.

"You have done a great job in serving Lady Tao, and Yingyue Pavilion will reward you with three months' salary."

When everyone heard this, they were so happy that they shouted "Long live the emperor".
