Harem Daily Life

In He Linzhang's heart, he still hoped to have a child with Yan Yan. However, considering that the little concubine still needed to be nursed back to health, He Linzhang said, "Let everything go with the flow. Don't be too stressed, Yan Yan."

Tao Yanyan felt that ever since she was captured by the Demon Lord in Qixia Mountain, there seemed to be something different between her and He Linzhang, and He Linzhang seemed to be slowly taking her to heart.

Realizing this, Tao Yanyan was in a very good mood. She took the initiative to hug him and kissed him, which made He Linzhang distracted.

Instead of sending the children to elementary school the next day, Tao Yanyan simply slept a little longer so that he could have lunch directly when he woke up again.

Mingyue waited until she finished eating before reporting back, "Your Majesty just sent someone to say that Marquis Ningyuan and Lord Tao will go to the Imperial Study to meet the Emperor this afternoon. Do you want to go over to see your relatives?"

Tao Yanyan nodded. Thinking that he had been back for a while, although he arranged for Doctor Liu to treat Wang Xingchuan, he had not yet found out why the original owner's mother went to the inn to find Mu Yu. Tao Yanyan thought that he would find Ning Yuanhou in the afternoon to ask who asked Gu Xinran to go out to see the lanterns.

When he saw his daughter again, Tao Qian was the first to lose control of himself. He looked around excitedly, fearing that she had joined the evil cult and would come back with injuries.

Tao Yanyan repeatedly explained that he was not injured, and only then did Tao Qian feel relieved.

Ning Yuanhou had never expected that Concubine Tao was actually his niece. He was heartbroken when he thought that his sister passed away in such a tragic way not long after giving birth.

Tao Yanyan comforted him for a while before getting to the point.

"Uncle, who asked my mother to go out to see the lanterns? I suspect that this person was the one who designed my mother to go find Mu Yu."

He Linzhang's eyes darkened.

Ning Yuanhou looked at her in disbelief: "Is this possible? That person has no grudge against your mother, why would he plot against your mother?"

Tao Yanyan wanted to say that human hearts are unpredictable, and some people will betray their friends or even relatives for the sake of profit.

Ning Yuanhou said after a while: "At that time, Concubine Li had not yet entered the palace. She was the one who asked your mother to go out to enjoy the lanterns. I wanted to go with her, but I had something else to do, so I didn't go with her. If I had been with her at that time, maybe she wouldn't have gotten into trouble."

When she heard it was Concubine Li, Tao Yanyan's eyes darkened. She didn't have a good impression of Concubine Li and Miss Li.

"Well, did you go to see Concubine Li later? Did she say anything?"

Ning Yuanhou said, "We looked for her at the very beginning, but Concubine Li said that the time she had agreed with Xinran had passed, and Xinran didn't appear, so she went home on her own. Until we went to ask her about the situation, she didn't know that Xinran was missing. Later, Concubine Li entered the palace, and we rarely had the opportunity to see her again. It was not until she went to Jingci Temple to practice that I had the chance to ask. What a pity..." Ning Yuanhou could not continue.

It has been a long time, and it is too difficult to verify the facts of that year now, but Tao Yanyan feels that Concubine Li is very suspicious!

Tao Yanyan said: "I suspect that it was Concubine Li who did it, but there is really no evidence. My mother would not go to the inn where Mu Yu lived for no reason. It must be that an acquaintance left a message for her to go."

Ning Yuanhou beat his chest and stamped his feet. He also suspected Concubine Li, but he could not find any evidence.

After Ningyuan Hou and Tao Qian left, Tao Yanyan said: "When a good person convicts a bad person, he has to find the bad person's fault before taking action. But when a bad person frames a good person, he never makes sense."

He Linzhang hugged the person and said, "I know you feel wronged and you are anxious to avenge your mother. Don't worry, I will send people to continue investigating. Concubine Li knows the black-hearted Taoist priest. Birds of a feather flock together. My people have been monitoring them. If we find anything, we will tell you."

When He Linzhang thought that Lu Lianyi had lived in Jingci Temple before entering the palace, and that she might have been brainwashed by Concubine Li to enter the palace as a concubine, he completely lost his good impression of Concubine Li.

It's really disgusting to see a person who looks gentle and quiet but is actually full of vicious schemes and calculations.

Life went on as usual and soon it was July. The weather was hot and sometimes there was not even a breath of wind. Tao Yanyan had to drink some iced melon juice every day to get through the hot summer.

"Many imperial physicians came in and out of Fengyi Palace in the past two days. I met Imperial Physician Liu on the way back one day. He said that the Queen would give birth in the next few days. If the Queen gave birth at this time, the weather would be so hot that she would not be able to bear the confinement period." Chang Tai said while fanning Tao Yanyan.

"Time flies so fast. We were in the palace when we heard the news that the queen was pregnant, and now it's almost time to give birth." Tao Yanyan sighed. Has she actually been in this world for two years?

"In the past two years, our Changle Palace has seen the biggest changes. The Queen has been promoted the fastest in the past two years and is raising two children. There has not been much change in other palaces." Qingfeng said happily.

Tao Yanyan smiled. A lot of things had indeed happened to her in the past two years.

A few people were chatting when they saw a eunuch outside coming in to pass on a message: "Greetings to Concubine Tao, the queen is about to give birth, the queen mother has asked the palace to pass the message, please go and accompany her."

Tao Yanyan immediately stood up with the help of Qingfeng: "Okay, I'll dress up and go right away."

When a high-ranking concubine gave birth, those of lower rank had to wait outside. This was the rule in the palace. When a low-ranking concubine gave birth, only those who cared about the baby in her belly would accompany her. This was the strict hierarchy.

When Tao Yanyan arrived, other people had already arrived one after another. She found a seat, sat down and drank tea.

Thinking about how long Shu Fei took to give birth last time, Tao Yanyan was mentally prepared that this time it wouldn't be quick.

However, she didn't expect that it only took a few hours from the time the queen's stomach pain started to happen to the time she gave birth safely.

Not long after it got dark, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the delivery room. Everyone was delighted because the queen had given birth!

"Go and see quickly, is he a prince?" He Linzhang was looking forward to a legitimate son. As long as it was a legitimate son, his mission would be accomplished.

The midwife wrapped the baby up and brought it out to show the Queen Mother and His Majesty, announcing the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a princess."

The joy on He Linzhang's face slowly faded away visibly. After a while, he smiled again and said, "Okay, Princess too. Thank you for your hard work, Queen."

Concubine De quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the queen did not have a legitimate son, her Yu'er would still have the best chance of success in the future. She was now completely relieved.

Everyone on Tao Yanyan's side also knew that the queen had given birth to a princess, and they all had different thoughts. Until the empress dowager's decree came, saying that the harem would reward them with three months' worth of silver and asked them to go back first, everyone left one after another.

The Queen, after repeatedly confirming that it was a princess, could not hide her disappointment: "Your Majesty, is he very unhappy?"

Nanny Fang stepped forward and comforted her: "Your Highness has just given birth. Don't think too much. You will have the opportunity to give birth to a prince in the future."

Only the queen herself knew that she might never have another chance in her life.
