Harem Daily Life

Tao Yanyan was very surprised: "Uncle Kemu said that the Demon Lord will become the deputy envoy and continue to manage Penglai Island?" No matter how you look at it, His Majesty should have won.

He Linzhang smiled and shook his head: "I lost the duel, but I had a heart-to-heart talk with him later."

"I said that the imperial court can take over, and the Mu family can also be in charge, but if the Mu family is in charge, the other three families will definitely not accept it. Then the island will be in chaos, and Yan Yan's relatives will be the ones who get hurt in the end. In order not to let Yan Yan worry, I hope he can continue to manage it, and... I recognize him as your sworn brother on your behalf."

Tao Yanyan opened his eyes wide: "Sworn brother and sister?"

He Linzhang nodded: "From now on, he can be considered as your relative. I wanted to find a chance to tell you. I will arrange a ceremony in the next few days, with several major families as witnesses, and you two will officially become sworn brothers."

Tao Yanyan had no objection to this. In this way, from now on, Penglai Island would be considered as part of the strength of his mother's family.

When Tao Yanyan thought about the fact that she now had Penglai Island, the Yan family, and the Ningyuan Marquisate behind her, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there are more and more people supporting me now, and the strength behind them is terrifying."

If someone else said this, He Linzhang would probably have to think about how to suppress the power of the foreign relatives, but when it came to Tao Yanyan, He Linzhang was not worried at all.

The young concubine doesn't have much ambition. She just likes gold, silver, jewelry, food and clothes. If people beg her to give birth to a child and help her ascend the throne, she might even take the child away later. How can she mobilize the forces behind her to fight for that position?

But just because she doesn't want to fight doesn't mean others don't fight either.

It has been several months since he came out, and Shu Fei is about to give birth. If Shu Fei successfully gives birth to a prince, he is worried that the Queen will not be able to give birth due to human interference. Although he may be worrying too much and cannot think so badly of the Shu and Rong families, he must be on guard against others. As long as the Queen does not give birth to a legitimate son, he will feel uneasy.

"Yan Yan, deal with things here as soon as possible, and let's go back to Beijing early."

Guessing that he was worried about the two pregnant women, Tao Yanyan nodded. However, when she thought about the large number of concubines waiting in the palace and the lack of food and clothing, Tao Yanyan felt a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, please go and wash up. I am tired and will go to sleep first."

Seeing the little concubine's sudden loss, He Linzhang was in a trance for a moment and got up to wash.

When he came out, Tao Yanyan had already fallen asleep with her back to him.

He Linzhang frowned. Was she feeling disappointed and jealous just now?

When He Linzhang thought that she might be jealous, he felt sweet in his heart. He got into the bed and hugged her tightly from behind.

The sworn brotherhood ceremony went smoothly. After He Linzhang revealed his identity, the Dong and Qi families, who had some ideas, gave up completely. In addition, the Demon Lord became the deputy envoy and swore brotherhood with the eldest daughter of the Mu family, officially becoming half a member of the Mu family. The Dong and Qi families were completely hopeless and kept their tails between their legs.

But his original intention to marry his daughter to Deputy Envoy Wang did not change, and he rushed to find people to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by Wang Xingchuan. Wang Xingchuan still understood that people who had been unfaithful were not worthy of trust.

He put aside his feelings for Tao Yanyan, instructed Elder Haomu about all matters on the island, and then traveled light, taking a few trusted people with him, and returned to Beijing with He Linzhang and Tao Yanyan.

Who could have thought that a few months ago, the situation was tense and they kidnapped someone in a threatening manner, but a few months later, the situation changed so much that they became sworn siblings without any blood relationship. It is really hard to explain things in this world.

The person who gained the most from this trip was He Linzhang.

The power of the Demon Cult should not be underestimated. It is the most powerful force outside the Three Kingdoms. Now that it has been incorporated into the Great Zhou, it has not only expanded the territory of the Great Zhou, but the continuous fishery trade will also bring huge wealth, a full treasury, and people living and working in peace and contentment. In the first half of this year, He Linzhang became the biggest beneficiary because of the rescue of Tao Yanyan.

This trip also found Qi Yizheng, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Looking at Qi Yizheng lying on the deck basking in the sun, Tao Yanyan sighed helplessly: "It seems like his stomach can never be filled. He just finished eating grilled fish and now he's asking for squid fried rice."

Even though she sighed, she still prepared to cook without complaint.

He Linzhang hugged her from behind and said, "If you don't want to do it, don't do it. You are my concubine. There is no reason for you to cook so many meals for him."

He Linzhang rubbed the little concubine's hand. Recently, the little concubine was the one who basically prepared their three meals a day, and other chefs made big pot meals for everyone else.

Tao Yanyan glared at him and said, "Forget it. He has been tortured by the old Taoist for half a year and he is working hard for you. I will cook for him. But would your majesty like to eat some squid rings? They are fragrant and crispy and delicious."

He Linzhang swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, I'll eat whatever you cook. Do you want me to help you?"

Tao Yanyan shuddered when she thought of the two grown men in the kitchen vying to pass her the seasonings and ending up doing more harm than good. "No, no, Brother Xingchuan is going fishing. Your Majesty, why don't you find something to do instead of surrounding me."

I don’t know when it started, but Wang Xingchuan and His Majesty seemed to be competing with each other. Whenever she went into the kitchen, both of them wanted to accompany her, under the pretext of accompanying her to do her favorite thing.

God knows! If it weren't for the fact that she likes what she cooks, Tao Yanyan wouldn't want to cook every day. How come in the eyes of these two men, cooking is what she likes most?

It’s obvious that what I like most is to lie down and count money until my hands are tired.

The rejected emperor had to go sea fishing, but the fish seemed to be deliberately against him. Seeing Wang Xingchuan catching many fish, shrimps and crabs one after another, while there was not even a trace of a shrimp on his side, he rolled his eyes and went to bask in the sun with Qi Yizheng.

After sunbathing for a while, he felt that his skin would get tanned and the concubine would dislike him, so he got up and went back to the cabin, where he was bored and waited for the concubine to feed him.

During this period, Yingyi and the others were fed by Concubine Tao every day, and their mouths became picky.

Seeing several large servings of seafood fried rice being served, as well as a large bowl of crispy squid rings, the shadow guards quickly divided them up.

Tao Yanyan watched them devour everything in a flash, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at He Linzhang who was eating slowly with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You have to support so many people every day. When I return, I will immediately inspect the imperial farm. This year, I will definitely earn more money for you to reduce your burden."

He Linzhang: “…”

"This year we took over Penglai Island and our fishery trade also saw an increase in revenue. All of these are counted as your achievements. Take a good rest after you go back and don't have to be so anxious to make money for me." He Linzhang felt warm inside as he comforted the little concubine. Yan Yan really thought of him all the time. It was his blessing to have such a beautiful woman.
