Harem Daily Life

When we returned to the hot spring villa, it was already late and everyone was tired. It was a good opportunity to soak in the hot springs to relieve their fatigue.

"Your Majesty, can't you change the pool? Jin'an is at the Queen Mother's place, and there is a hot spring pool next to his room. Why do you insist on squeezing in with me?" Tao Yanyan said dissatisfiedly.

He Linzhang shamelessly insisted on squeezing into the same pool with her. As a result, after playing for a long time, he felt tired and sleepy.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month. I don't want to waste a moment." He kissed her face. "Okay, you can't soak for too long. Get up and take a shower. I'll get you some clothes."

He Linzhang stood up first, put on his undershirt, then pulled up the little beauty, wrapped her tightly, carried her horizontally, and went to the bedroom.

"Yan Yan, have you grown again?" He Linzhang had always been unable to stop lusting after her. Tao Yanyan ate well and slept enough in the palace, and her figure seemed to have grown again, becoming even more outstanding.

Tao Yanyan was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands. She groaned and said, "Well, I've gained some weight and height. Um... No, no, no, I'm so tired. Can we do it again tomorrow..."

But what she got in response was more love.

The next day was the Queen Mother's birthday. Tao Yanyan was supposed to get up early to arrange the banquet, but he was too tired last night and couldn't get up at all.

It was a rare occasion that He Linzhang didn't get up early according to his biological clock. The two of them stayed on the couch for a long time before they slowly got up.

After washing up and having some breakfast and lunch, the two went to Lingxiaoyuan hand in hand.

"Father, Mother." As soon as Xiao Jin'an saw them, he rushed over and hugged Tao Yanyan's thighs: "Why did you come now, Mother?"

The two of them paid their respects to the Queen Mother. Tao Yanyan took little Jin'an by the hand and sat him on a chair nearby. He changed the subject: "Did Jin'an eat any snacks secretly? Why are there still crumbs on his body?"

Little Jinan shook his head: "I didn't eat it secretly. I ate it openly with the Royal Grandmother."

"Mother, I was outside yesterday and didn't report something to you. The Queen didn't come this time because she is pregnant. I told her to rest assured and take care of the pregnancy. All matters in the harem are left to the Imperial Concubine."

The Queen Mother was very happy and quickly instructed: "Good, good, this way, next year, there will be two more children in the palace. I will give the Queen the reward when I return to the palace. When you go back, take good care of everyone in Fengyi Palace and make sure to take good care of the Queen's baby."

"Yes. I will also take good care of Concubine Shu and make sure both of them give birth to their babies safely."

Little Jinan opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion: "Mother, does everyone give birth to a child? Then when will Mother give birth?"

He Linzhang looked at Tao Yanyan and seemed to want to listen too.

Tao Yanyan smiled and said: "Mother is still young, let's wait a few more years. Besides, it doesn't matter whether Mother gives birth or not, Mother already has Jin'an."

The Queen Mother glared at her and said, "It's better to have a biological child after all. Wait a couple of years and take good care of yourself and give me a plump grandson."

Tao Yanyan smiled and said nothing.

After sitting for a while, Tao Yanyan got up and left, making an excuse to prepare the meal, and went to the kitchen.

The weather in November was already very cold. Today she was going to cook a few more dishes, plus a hot pot. She asked someone to boil a lot of hot water and mixed it with cold water to wash the vegetables. She used warm water to wash everything.

But she didn't need to do any of the cleaning or tidying up; she just needed to watch from the side and talk.

Qingfeng moved a chair for her to sit on, and the two of them were shelling beans in the kitchen. Tao Yanyan was now like a mechanical bean shelling machine, without a trace of emotion.

"My beauty, Concubine Shu and the Queen are both pregnant. You..." She looked around and whispered, "Do you want to ask Imperial Doctor Liu to adjust the prescription and prepare for pregnancy?"

Tao Yanyan glanced at her and said, "No need. Their pregnancy has nothing to do with me. I just need to live my life well."

You'll only be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, not yet an adult, why are you in such a hurry?

Besides, nothing is more important than her own safety. In this life, she not only has to live for herself, but also for the original owner. Taking good care of the original owner's family and health, and making sure that she lives in peace, well-fed and well-drinks until the end of her life, is her greatest pursuit in this life.

As for childbirth, there is no anesthesia, no fetal heart rate monitoring, no fetal malformation examination, no blood transfusion equipment, and the medical conditions do not allow it. It is considered a high-risk thing, but I am not at the point where I am willing to risk my life to have a child.

Tao Yanyan stayed in the kitchen the whole afternoon, sometimes cooking by herself, sometimes directing the imperial chef to cook. Little Jinan came over soon, surrounded her and chattered to her about the topics of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's conversation, like a mouthpiece.

Tao Yanyan stuffed him with a piece of fried crispy pork and a freshly-cooked meatball, which made Xiao Jinan so amused that he didn't want to leave. He simply sat on a small stool with a small bowl in his hand and waited to be fed.

Seeing that the child had not returned for a long time, He Linzhang went out to look for him, and saw a little man holding a small bowl and standing by the pot, eating the first bite of freshly cooked food.

He walked in with a smile, and everyone wanted to put down what they were doing and salute him, but he waved his hand and said, "You are busy, stand up."

Tao Yanyan glared at him and said, "Your Majesty, please go back soon. No one can work freely while you are here."

He Linzhang touched his nose and moved closer to her: "Then if you feed me a bite, I will consider leaving."

"You are so grown up, but you are still like a child. You are the emperor, yet you come to the kitchen to look for food." She said with disgust, but still got him a bowl and put two meatballs and two pieces of crispy meat in it.

The father and son sat side by side, guarding Tao Yanyan like two Buddhas.

But it was really scary to cook while being watched by the emperor, and the imperial chef almost cut his hand.

Tao Yanyan had no choice but to wipe his hands, take off his apron, and personally send the emperor back to the empress dowager. Xiao Jinan was sitting on the stool, grinning from ear to ear, because he still had to have the first bite of the pot.

Well, my mother loves me the most, hahaha!

"I'll be back tomorrow. Can't you let me watch you all the time?" He Linzhang said helplessly. He pinched the little beauty's face and felt very upset.

"Your Majesty, do you still want to eat tonight? You are supervising over there. If everyone doesn't cook properly, it will affect the food, and you will be the one who is hungry." Tao Yanyan slapped his hand away: "Also, I have told you many times that you can't pinch your face. It doesn't look good if you pinch it flat."

He Linzhang hugged the person into his arms: "Then I won't pinch your face, but I can hold you. Let me hold you. I will be busy again when I go back tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't see you again until the New Year."

The emperor didn't care about the palace maids and eunuchs walking by and just hugged the person openly.

Tao Yanyan smelled the pleasant smell of ambergris on his body, and finally put her arms gently around his waist.

Gu Yi went home last night and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He got up before dawn and went hunting in the back mountain. He happened to hunt a fat rabbit and brought it to Lady Tao. As soon as he turned around the corridor, he saw the two people hugging each other under the plum tree in the yard.

The scene was so beautiful, yet also so glaring that it deeply hurt his heart.
