Harem Daily Life

Tao Yanyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Concubine Wang questioning Xiao Jin'an. Her eyes darkened and she stood up and asked, "Concubine Wang, your jade pendant is missing. You should have looked around first. Why are you questioning the Second Prince directly?"

Concubine Wang was quite restrained in her attitude when facing her: "Madam Concubine Tao, it was only because the Second Prince passed by me that my jade pendant disappeared. The child was playful and might have taken it by accident. As long as he takes it out, it's not a big deal."

Tao Yanyan sneered, "Why would the Second Prince take your jade pendant? If he found it, he would definitely return it to its original owner. You should look for it yourself first. If you can't find it, go back along the way from here to look for it."

Wang Jieyu also sneered: "The second prince is from the common people. Maybe he has never seen such a good thing. Why is Concubine Tao so angry if he takes it to play with it? In fact, as long as you search the second prince's body, you will know whether the jade pendant is on him. Concubine Tao will know such a simple thing."

"Heh, who gave you the courage to search the second prince's body?" Tao Yanyan stood in front of Jin'an and said sternly to Concubine Wang who was making a fuss.

"Oh, is Concubine Tao so angry? My jade pendant is missing. It's just a small matter for you to see if the second prince has hidden it on him. Do you really want to argue with me here?" Concubine Wang seemed to be very persistent about the body search.

Little Jinan opened his big innocent eyes and tilted his head: "But I have never seen your jade pendant. The jade pendants I wear are all specially made for me by my mother."

Tao Yanyan touched Xiao Jinan's head and said, "If you haven't done it, you haven't done it. Wang Jieyu, don't make trouble for no reason!"

At this time, the emperor arrived with the empress dowager, and everyone knelt down to greet them. When they saw that Tao Yanyan was not in his seat, He Linzhang asked, "What happened? Why do you look so bad?" Even Xiao Jinan looked bad.

Concubine Wang looked sad, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, my heirloom jade pendant is missing. I only asked about it when the Second Prince passed by me just now. I didn't expect that Concubine Tao would protect the Second Prince and we had an argument."

He Linzhang frowned: "If Jin'an found your jade pendant, he would return it to you immediately and would never take it for himself. Look for it carefully by yourself and don't accuse the child casually."

Concubine Wang choked and said aggrievedly, "I was just asking for routine questions. Maybe the child took it away to play with it. Well, since I can't find it, forget it. It's a pity that it was passed down to me by my mother. I have worn it for more than ten years. It is very meaningful as a commemoration."

Seeing her aggrieved look, everyone seemed to believe what she said and started whispering to each other. Tao Yanyan felt very uncomfortable when she saw everyone looking at her and Jin'an with some inexplicable eyes.

She clenched her fists and gently held Xiao Jinan in her arms, giving the child a sense of security.

"Mother, I really didn't see any jade pendant." Little Jin'an pouted, feeling very aggrieved.

"Well, mother knows that Jin'an is a good child and will not take things without asking."

As soon as the voice fell, Shu Fei said: "Tao Fei usually takes care of the child, and you still have to spend more time and effort to educate him. A gentleman is a man of virtue. Although the second prince comes from the common people and his nature is a little worse, he will still have a bright future if he is well educated. Don't delay it."

Tao Yanyan was so angry that he almost laughed. Shu Fei had finally had some peace and quiet during these few months of pregnancy. Now she is going to jump out and make trouble again?

After thinking for a while, Tao Yanyan said, "As for how to raise a child, I think I have done my duty. Besides, I know best what kind of character the child raised under my name is. There is no need for Concubine Shu to worry about it. Concubine Shu should use her energy to feed the Third Prince."

Shu Fei hated it most when people said her Third Prince was young. Tao Yanyan did that on purpose!

She was so exhausted that the Third Prince might have heard what others said about him. He woke up from his sleep, opened his little mouth and started crying “Woo wa, woo wa”.

Shu Fei hurriedly asked the wet nurse to take the child to the side hall to coax him.

The Queen said calmly, "Don't be angry, Concubine Tao. It's normal for Concubine Wang to be anxious because her ancestral jade pendant is missing. Since the Second Prince said he didn't see it, Concubine Wang, just look around. But Concubine Tao, you really should educate your children well. You have two children under your name now, so don't mislead them!"

What the Queen said was simply that Tao Yanyan was raising the child carelessly and without regard for the child's moral character.

"Or, Concubine Tao, you are still young and have no experience in raising children. If you can't raise them well, you might as well choose a foster mother for the two children. Your Majesty, there are several concubines in the palace who entered the palace earlier than Concubine Tao, and they don't have children. If Concubine Tao is really not good at raising children, it is better to give the eldest princess and the second prince to others to raise." The queen said with a smile.

Tao Yanyan narrowed his eyes. It turned out that looking for the jade pendant was just an excuse, and the purpose was to care about the children?

At this time, the second princess suddenly stood up and said, "What's wrong with Concubine Tao raising a child? Yue'er wants to live in Changle Palace! If mother agrees, Yue'er wants to move there today."

The second princess is cute, but her words are powerful and everyone in the room is shocked when she says a word.

The second princess is openly opposing her own mother and is completely on the side of Concubine Tao!

Even Tao Yanyan herself was shocked by her words.

Tao Yanyan touched her head and said, "Thanks to the Second Princess for her kindness, if the Second Princess wants to come to Changle Palace to play, I welcome her. However, the Second Princess must be raised by the Queen. This is an honor only given to legitimate daughters."

The second princess pouted, feeling a little unhappy that she could not be raised by Concubine Tao.

At this time, Yin Jiu suddenly appeared, whispered a few words in Eunuch Zhang's ear, and handed a jade pendant to Eunuch Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang immediately handed the jade pendant to the emperor and whispered Yin Jiu's words.

He Linzhang looked at Wang Jieyu with displeasure: "Wang Jieyu, take a look, is this your jade pendant?"

Concubine Wang stepped forward to take it. She was surprised and had a bad premonition: "...Yes, this is exactly my jade pendant." Concubine Wang couldn't understand. She had clearly secretly placed the jade pendant on the second prince, so why did this jade pendant appear in the emperor's hands now?

He Linzhang's eyes seemed to see through everything: "You may not know that I have assigned a shadow guard to the Second Prince. The shadow guard saw you secretly put the jade pendant into Jin'an's sleeve pocket, and you pretended to have lost the jade. You disregarded the child's self-esteem and openly slandered him. You are so bold that you even dared to plot against the prince!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone was shocked again.

Some people lamented that Wang Jieyu was courting death by directing and acting in this drama and framing a child. Let's see how she ends up now!

However, some people did not expect that the emperor would be so fond of the second prince that he even assigned him a shadow guard!

That is the Dragon Shadow Guard that only the emperor can possess!
