Harem Daily Life

Not only did they prepare a sumptuous feast today, Tao Yanyan also asked the kitchen to add more dishes for everyone in the palace, so that everyone could enjoy the benefits of the Queen Mother's birthday.

After everyone was seated, they congratulated the Empress Dowager in turn with auspicious words that made her smile widely.

Eunuch Qin was serving beside her and felt that the Queen Mother was obviously happier on her birthday this year than last year. He couldn't help but look at Lady Tao and felt that the Queen Mother's happiness was related to Lady Tao. Lady Tao seemed to have a kind of magic that could make everyone around her optimistic about life.

"Your Majesty, please eat more food. It's rare for you to come here. I think this hot pot is good, especially the dipping sauce. I have never tasted this flavor before. Lady Tao, you are so thoughtful. You have always tried every means to make delicious food for me these days. I have gained several pounds of weight."

Little Jin'an also pinched his belly and said, "I've gained a few pounds of weight, too. The food my mother cooks is really delicious."

Tao Yanyan touched Xiao Jinan's head and said with a smile, "Being able to eat is a blessing. As long as you eat healthily, it doesn't matter if you eat more. When spring comes, we can walk more and climb mountains, and we will naturally lose weight."

He Linzhang picked up a peeled shrimp and handed it to her: "Thank you for your hard work, eat more." But he didn't put it on the plate. Instead, he fed it directly to her mouth with his chopsticks.

Tao Yanyan blushed and signaled him to put it down with her eyes, but He Linzhang seemed to be blind to her hint and insisted on feeding her.

Tao Yanyan gritted his teeth and swallowed it in one gulp, giving him a glare that had no killing power.

He Linyan raised his eyebrows, feeling a sense of success.

Tao Yanyan said "childish" in his heart, then turned around to pick up some food for Xiao Jinan and took care of the child's eating and drinking.

Gu Yi on the opposite side saw the whole thing. He lowered his eyebrows to hide the bitterness in his heart.

The Queen Mother also saw it, but she was happy to see the two of them being so affectionate, so she just let them be.

Everyone drank happily. Tao Yanyan also had a glass in front of her, but she didn't drink it.

In her previous life, Tao Yanyan would get drunk after just one glass of wine. Not to mention liquor with a certain alcohol content, even beer with a 10-degree alcohol content would make her drunk after just one glass.

She didn't know how much the original owner could drink, so in order not to embarrass herself, she didn't touch the glass of wine at all.

"Eh? Lady Tao, why don't you drink? Come, have a drink with me. You've worked hard these past few months." The Queen Mother raised her glass to invite her warmly. Tao Yanyan couldn't refuse, so she raised her glass and said, "It's my blessing to be able to accompany the Queen Mother, but I can't drink much. If I say nonsense when I'm drunk, please don't laugh at me."

No one took it seriously. He Linzhang smiled and said, "This is pear blossom wine. It's not strong enough and you won't get drunk." He could drink a whole jar of this wine without getting drunk.

Tao Yanyan drank it, but after a while she felt relaxed and detached from the world.

She was usually gentle and cute, so no one noticed her difference. However, He Linzhang, who was sitting next to her, tensed up because a restless foot was rubbing against his under the table.

He pretended to be calm and turned his head slightly to look at the little beauty. He saw that the little beauty had a rosy face and charming eyes that were soft and delicate, and was looking at him cutely.

His breathing suddenly stagnated, and he had the urge to immediately carry the person back to the bedroom.

He swallowed and picked up some food for Tao Yanyan, who said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, feed me."

He Linzhang coughed lightly, looked at the empress dowager who was enjoying the show and the expressionless Gu Yi, and fed her silently.

The Queen Mother looked at the well-behaved Da'er, her eyes flashed with satisfaction, she raised her eyebrows, and quickly asked Gu Yi to eat. But how could Gu Yi eat? He was already full of dog food!

Xiao Jinan was the only one who concentrated on eating the whole time. He tasted almost every dish on the table and did not waste any food.

"Your Majesty, I have always been very good at judging people. Do you know who you are?"

As soon as Tao Yanyan opened his mouth, everyone stopped eating and looked over curiously. He Linzhang gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is it?"

Tao Yanyan gently stroked his chin with her delicate hand: "I can tell at a glance... that you are mine!"

"Clang--" The Queen Mother's wine glass fell over.

"Your Majesty, I also found that you are a little strange today." Tao Yanyan frowned.

He Linzhang clenched his fist: "What's strange about that?"

"It's so pretty."

"Snap——" Gu Yi's chopsticks fell.

"Hey, why is there something on your face?"

He Linzhang touched his face and asked, "What's wrong?" Was he blushing?

When He Linzhang was puzzled, Tao Yanyan had already leaned on his shoulder: "He's quite handsome!"

He Linzhang realized later that something was wrong with this little beauty! Something was very wrong! She must be drunk!

Otherwise, why would she say these sweet words that can only be said in the boudoir in front of the Queen Mother, the ministers, and Jin An? !

"Please forgive me, Madam Tao must be drunk. I will take her back to sober her up first."

The Queen Mother also noticed that something was wrong with Concubine Tao, and that Gu Yi was standing beside her. She wondered what was happening, so she asked him to take the man away immediately.

He Linzhang put a cloak on the man.

"Your Majesty, I feel dizzy. Do you know why?"

"Yan Yan, you are drunk." He Linzhang really regretted letting her drink that glass of wine.

"No, it's because your Majesty knocked me out."

He Linzhang: “…”

I can't stay here any longer! I quickly picked him up and walked back home in big strides.

All night long, Tao Yanyan was like a nagging little goblin, pestering He Linzhang with sweet words, causing He Linzhang to fall into her bewilderment.

The next day, when Tao Yanyan woke up, He Linzhang had already gone for morning exercise.

Qingfeng helped her get dressed, and seemed to be hesitant to say something.

"What's wrong?" Tao Yanyan said as she was dressing in front of the mirror and choosing jewelry for herself.

"The beauty drank a glass of wine last night, and then..." Qingfeng bit her lip: "Does the beauty remember anything?"

Tao Yanyan's mind went blank. She remembered that she drank wine, and His Majesty said that the wine was pear blossom wine and would not make people drunk. But she could not remember what happened afterwards.

Is it...

Tao Yanyan was puzzled: "How did I get back? Where is Jinan?"

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Jin'an came running in: "Mother, mother, let me tell you a secret."

Tao Yanyan paused her conversation with Qingfeng and asked Xiao Jinan with a smile: "What's the secret?"

"Mother, you look a little strange today."

"Ah? What's strange about that?"

"It's so pretty!"

Tao Yanyan: “…”

"Jin'an, this is just cheesy love talk, how could you...wait a minute!" Tao Yanyan restrained her smile and looked at Qingfeng: "I, I said...last night?"

Qingfeng nodded, trying not to laugh.

Tao Yanyan bit her lip and said, "What was said? Besides Your Majesty, who else heard it?"

"The Queen Mother and Commander Gu are both here, but His Majesty immediately realized that you were drunk and hurriedly carried you away."

Tao Yanyan felt relieved, thinking that he didn't hear much. He really shouldn't have drunk that glass of wine!

"But..." Qingfeng glanced at her: "After you came back, you hugged Your Majesty and kissed him, and Your Majesty was unable to resist. Later, you even sang a song to confess your love to Your Majesty..."
