Harem Daily Life

After everyone received their money and left, Tao Yanyan took Qingfeng and Mingyue to take one last look at the delivery room. Although the women had all given birth, they could not move for the time being and had to stay here to recuperate.

The conditions were tough, but they were the best that could be provided. The daily food supply included meat, vegetables, and eggs, three meals a day, plus a snack, all of which were specifically arranged for the mothers by Tao Yanyan.

When everyone saw Tao Yanyan, they greeted her warmly. She also looked around at this house and that house, but she didn't dare to hold a newborn baby as she felt it was too soft and hot to hold.

When I arrived at the bedside of the woman surnamed Guan, I saw her husband feeding her fish soup.

Seeing Tao Yanyan coming over, the two were a little embarrassed. Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "You guys eat your food. I just came to take a look. I hope I didn't disturb you. This fish soup is well stewed. Mothers should drink more fish soup. It is nutritious and helps to produce more milk."

Although she has never given birth to a child, Tao Yanyan still knows some knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth.

The honest husband said embarrassedly: "I went to see the old house this morning and found a fish fell into the mud after the water receded, so I caught it and made soup for my wife." After saying that, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "There is only one fish, otherwise I would like to send one to the noble lady as well."

Tao Yanyan waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "No, no, I have food. You should take good care of your wife. Even if there is extra, you should give it to your wife first. She gave birth to three children for you. It was not easy. This one almost lost her life. Good things will come after surviving a disaster. Your good days are ahead. When the house is rebuilt, live a good life. Don't be muddleheaded and muddy like before. I want to be filial, but I can't be filial blindly. Do you understand?"

The honest husband nodded immediately: "Yes, I will never be a foolish filial son again. I will live a good life with my wife and raise the child."

"Well, once the flood is over, you can rebuild your home. From now on, you can live in harmony and happiness. I wish you good health and all the best."

The honest husband of the woman surnamed Guan knelt on the ground and said, "My wife was able to survive this time, all thanks to the blessing of the noble. I have a favor to ask, I ask the noble to give my daughter a name, she is very blessed to have the blessing of the noble."

The imperial physician said that his wife would never be able to give birth again, and that he would only have this one daughter in his life. He had lost his two previous daughters due to his cowardice, so he must raise this one well.

Tao Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Why not call it Qingyun? When the rain stops and the sky clears, the clouds are flat and the flowers and grass are fragrant."

"Okay, that's a good name, let's call her Li Qingyun. Thank you very much!" The honest husband wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Tao Yanyan.

"Take care of your wife quickly, no need to kneel down." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to Qingfeng, took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the honest husband.

"Take this money and live a good life in the future. I may have to leave Mengcheng in a few days. Just remember that your wife gave birth to these children at the cost of her life, so you must treat them well in the future."

The honest man refused for a long time before accepting the silver and putting it carefully into his underwear. He thanked Tao Yanyan profusely again.

Tao Yanyan spoke a few more words to the woman surnamed Guan, looked at the wrinkled little Qingyun, and left the delivery room with Qingfeng and Mingyue.

Some people had already left the temporary shacks in advance. After all, they had received money and needed to go back and rebuild their houses. Some orphans whose parents had both died had nowhere to go and were still waiting for rescue at Point 3.

Tao Yanyan looked at the thirty-odd children, the oldest of whom were probably twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest were only one or two years old, with looks of inferiority and cowardice in their eyes, and his heart ached.

If no one takes care of them, many of them may be trafficked or become beggars on the streets. After all, not many families are willing to help homeless children these days.

Our era is not like the era of Tao Yanyan in later generations. There will be caring people to take care of these children and build welfare homes to shelter them. Therefore, how to arrange a place for these children to go has become a difficult problem.

In the evening, when He Linzhang came back exhausted, Lady Zhao went to intercept him, but He Linzhang really didn't want to entertain her, so she sent him away with a few words. After dinner, after bathing and changing clothes, Zhang Fuhai came to report that Tao Liangyi wanted to see him.

Generally speaking, Tao Yanyan rarely came to He Linzhang on his own initiative. The last time he came, it was for flood relief, and this time it must be for something else, so even though He Linzhang was very tired, he still called someone in.

Tao Yanyan performed a blessing ceremony before explaining his purpose: "Your Majesty, today I went to the temporary shacks and distributed money to the refugees on behalf of Concubine Shu. I also went to the delivery room to check on the newborns. Everything is in order. Some people have already gone home to build houses, but there are still some children who have lost their parents and cannot be accommodated. I wonder if Your Majesty has discussed with the prefect of Mengcheng what arrangements will be made for these homeless children and some elderly people?"

He Linzhang knew that she came for this matter, and smiled as he pulled her into his arms: "Yan Yan is really my good wife, and she always reminds me. I really haven't had time to ask you about what you said, so why not ask the prefect of Mengcheng tomorrow and see how he arranges it."

Tao Yanyan stroked his stubble and said, "Well, I won't disturb your Majesty's rest. Your Majesty, go to bed early. I'll go for a walk tomorrow when I'm free."

As he said this, he broke free from the embrace and tried to leave.

But how could He Linzhang let him go? He circled him tightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Yan Yan is here and you still want to leave? Why don't you stay here with me tonight?"

As he spoke, a passionate kiss followed.

Sometimes when you are too tired, it is good to relax.

But Tao Yanyan doesn't like being here. After all, other people have slept here before!

Sometimes she is indeed a little pretentious. She shares a room with a man, but doesn't want to share a bed. I don't know what's going on in her mind.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…” Tao Yanyan gasped weakly and pushed He Linzhang, saying, “I… I don’t want to… I don’t want to be here!”

He Linzhang was kissing passionately. Hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Are you so particular about your bed? Or do you not want to today? Hmm?"

Tao Yanyan said softly, "Your Majesty is tired today. You should rest early. We have a long way to go."

Feeling the resistance of the person in his arms, He Linzhang kissed her for a while before letting her go, panting and saying, "Even if I'm tired, but you've already made me angry, you have to take responsibility. Someone, help me change my clothes."

He Linzhang guessed that the little girl was really particular about her bed and would not feel at ease unless she was in her own territory, so despite being tired, he put on his clothes again and took his little Liangyi back to her territory.
