Harem Daily Life

"Doctor, give her acupuncture and try to stop the bleeding. Qingfeng, go and bring her some ginseng soup to replenish her energy." Tao Yanyan couldn't bear to watch this woman die. Even if it was her last try, she would try her best.

He Linzhang was greatly encouraged when he saw that his little Liangyi never gave up until the very last moment.

He stood in the night, looking at the sky which was still raining, and thought to himself: I will not admit defeat, no matter how difficult it is, I will get through it.

Perhaps God saw the efforts of mortals and heard the voice of the emperor on earth, so after 19 days of heavy rain, the rain gradually subsided at dawn.

The woman surnamed Guan was finally brought back from the brink of death by the imperial physician.

"She's alive, she's alive! It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy!" the imperial physician exclaimed. After a busy night, he finally got good news.

Tao Yanyan was exhausted, but her spirit was excited.

"Look, you tried your best and you survived. You are amazing and you are a good mother!" Tao Yanyan held the hand of the woman surnamed Guan and praised her word by word.

He Linzhang listened to Xiao Liangyi's praise, then looked at the rain which had become lighter, and couldn't suppress his joy.

"Is it the Mao hour yet?" Today was the day agreed with Qi Yizheng to release the floodwaters. After staying up all night, He Linzhang had to get busy.

When Tao Yanyan heard this, he hurriedly asked his honest son to take good care of his wife, then came to He Linzhang, gently hugged his waist, looked up and said: "Your Majesty, you will succeed, because you are a good emperor!"

He Linzhang's ears turned red, and he touched her head: "Well, I know. When I succeed, Yan Yan will praise me well, okay?"

Tao Yanyan opened her big watery eyes, stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his chin: "Of course, praise him in different ways, every day."

He Linzhang's eyes deepened and he pinched her face: "There are so many people watching us, so behave yourself." But there was a smile in his eyes.

"Hmph, what rules should I follow when I hug and kiss my man?" After saying that, she stood on tiptoes again and kissed him on the cheek.

"Ahem." He Linzhang glanced around. No one dared to look and they all lowered their heads.

"When I come back, you can kiss me wherever you want, even for three days and three nights." He Linzhang scratched her nose and left with a red face.

Tao Yanyan's face was also flushed. She was actually extremely sad and then extremely happy. Her emotions fluctuated too much and she lost control for a moment, so she teased He Linzhang.

But when she calmed down, she felt that she was too complacent and quickly regained her senses.

After the woman surnamed Guan came back to life, at noon, the last pregnant woman also gave birth to a daughter safely. The family did not favor boys over girls, but instead loved the girl like a treasure.

The safe delivery of six pregnant women was a good sign. Tao Yanyan slept for two hours and then got up to wait for news from the emperor.

By the evening, it had stopped raining and the water in Mengcheng had slowly receded. By nightfall, except for the south of the city, land had been exposed in other places, and Mengcheng's flood was completely over.

When He Linzhang returned to the palace at night, Tao Yanyan thought that he had been up for two nights in a row and must be exhausted, so he asked people to prepare ginseng soup and chicken porridge. He drank a bowl of it with him before helping him to bed.

When I woke up, I felt refreshed. I didn't know when He Linzhang left, and the half of the room where he slept had already become cold.

Tao Yanyan was going to go to the porridge charity again today to finish the remaining business. Before she left, Shu Fei sent someone to call her and asked her to come over for a chat, so she had no choice but to go to Shu Fei first.

"I was busy outside the past few days and had no time to come and visit you, Your Majesty. Are you feeling better?" Tao Yanyan saw that she looked good and thought that she must be much better.

"Thank you, sister, for your good care. I am much better now. I heard that you are going to give out porridge today, so I want to show my appreciation. Fuxin, bring the food here."

Fuxin brought over two boxes with a few palace servants.

"Here are two boxes of silver coins. I originally wanted to bring them out as rewards, but I didn't expect that I couldn't get any rewards in the end. You can take them all and share them with the refugees. This will also be my contribution to their post-disaster reconstruction."

Tao Yanyan smiled sincerely: "I will definitely convey the kindness of Madam Shufei. I thank you on behalf of the refugees. But I have limited manpower, so please send someone to help me. I will bring Qingfeng and Mingyue with me. I am really too busy to handle it."

Shu Fei smiled and said, "Then let Zi Ling go with you. You should listen to Tao Liangyi more and don't neglect him."

So Tao Yanyan took three palace maids and four palace servants who were carrying silver and left the palace.

It was not until they were on the carriage that Qingfeng asked, "Did Liangyi want Shufei's people to supervise us dividing the money, so he brought Ziling with him?"

Tao Yanyan nodded: "We are here to finish today. If we finish today, we will have a beginning and an end. Concubine Shu asked us to distribute the small change now, which is a temporary task. We didn't have a thorough plan before, so it's inevitable that there will be some mistakes. Now we ask her for people to watch us do it. Even if there are some things that she didn't notice, I'm sure she won't blame me. On the contrary, if she's not here, we will do it on our own. Even the slightest mistake may make people think that we are not doing our best."

Mingyue and Qingfeng nodded, not quite understanding. Mingyue said, "When the change is distributed later, I will ask Sister Ziling more. I will do what she says."

Tao Yanyan looked at her with appreciation and said, "Yes, the silver belongs to her master. We should listen to her and decide how to distribute it. You just need to maintain order and distribute it in an orderly manner. It would be even better if you could tell everyone that this is from the heart of Concubine Shu."

Qingfeng pouted and said, "But Liangyi has been guarding there for so many days. It is obvious that on this last day, all the praise should go to Liangyi. Suddenly he shows up to give out silver. I am afraid that this reputation will be snatched away by Shufei."

Tao Yanyan shook his head and said, "We are only doing these things to contribute our part, not for fame or fortune. As long as the work is done well, it will be fine. Just consider it as doing good deeds."

As soon as they heard that the empress in the palace was giving silver to the refugees, everyone gathered around. Tao Yanyan had the guards block the area in advance and let the refugees line up to receive the silver.

According to the number of people who registered every day, each person was given one tael of silver. Families with more people received more, and families with fewer people received less. Some families received five or six taels of silver even though all the people were present. Some families only had one person left, which made them look particularly miserable.

They said everything that Tao Yan said to Mingyue and Qingfeng. When Ziling heard that Tao Liangyi did not compete for the credit and all the good reputation fell on Shufei, her attitude towards her became much better.
