Harem Daily Life

The second princess was crying, and the maids who usually took care of her were kneeling outside. The queen did not dare to approach her, and Nanny Fang was also a little scared, so she stood there without moving. The queen mother anxiously came forward and sat beside the bed: "Yuer, the royal grandmother is here, how do you feel now?"

The second princess still shook her head and cried, "No, no..." It seemed that she would not say anything else except these two words.

The second princess looked behind the Queen Mother and saw Tao Yanyan. She stretched out her hands to her and cried loudly.

Tao Yanyan took one look and immediately stepped forward: "Second Princess, do you want a hug?"

She tried to hug her, and the second princess did not resist and was held in her arms. As if she had found a sense of security, the second princess gradually stopped crying, but her two little hands tightly grasped Tao Yanyan's collar, almost exposing herself.

Seeing that the child was very dependent on her, Tao Yanyan could not let go of him for the time being, so she had to hold the child and let the imperial physician take the child's pulse.

The queen stood aside with a pale face, her mind tense.

Nanny Fang was not in a good mood either. Seeing the Second Princess's attitude towards Concubine Tao, she might tell the secret in the next second.

Doctor Zhao took a look and said, "Except that he seems to be a little confused, I can't tell anything else for now."

"But now she only recognizes Concubine Tao and no one else. Is she brain-damaged?" the Queen Mother asked hurriedly.

Doctor Zhao considered it for a moment and said, "We can't rule out this possibility."

Doctor Xu consoled him, "There may still be blood stasis in the brain, so he has some amnesia. It depends on whether he can recover if he takes more blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines."

The queen asked carefully: "Well, what if it always stays like this?"

Doctor Zhao's eyes flickered, and he stayed aside without saying anything. Doctor Xu said, "Children recover quickly. After a few doses of medicine, there should be some effect. However, it is possible that he will not recognize people and speak clearly. Please relax, Your Majesty, and wait for the treatment to see the effect."

"Then, please ask Doctor Zhao to prescribe the medicine. Make it up as soon as possible and feed it to Yue'er." The Queen glanced at Doctor Zhao. Doctor Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of what Nanny Fang had said to him before. He hid his trembling hands and was about to write the prescription.

"No, no..." When the second princess heard that she was going to get a prescription, she immediately rushed into Tao Yanyan's arms. Because she scratched too hard, her fingernails scratched Tao Yanyan's neck, leaving several pink and red marks.

"Okay, okay, I won't take the medicine, I won't take the medicine. Don't be afraid, Yue'er." Tao Yanyan coaxed gently.

The queen winked at Nanny Fang, and Nanny Fang stepped forward and said, "Second Princess, Concubine Tao is tired, let me hold you." As she spoke, she reached out her hand to the Second Princess.

But the second princess held on to Tao Yanyan's clothes tightly and refused to let anyone else hold her.

When the Queen Mother saw that no one could take the Second Princess away except Tao Yanyan, she said, "Forget it, Queen, you are still in confinement after childbirth, and you have to take care of the Third Princess. Let the Second Princess live with Concubine Tao in Changle Palace for a while. Take the prescription and boil the medicine there."

"Empress Dowager!" The Queen immediately stopped her and said, "I have many people around me who can take care of Yue'er. It's better not to trouble Concubine Tao."

The Queen Mother looked at the second princess who was resisting and glared at her, "Then you decide whether the child wants her or you? It's settled. Are you still afraid that Concubine Tao will treat the second princess harshly?"

The Queen Mother was furious and the Queen did not dare to snatch the child away anymore, but her worries reached their peak.

Nanny Fang stepped back and went out to ask Doctor Zhao for the prescription. By the way, she had some other things to explain.

Doctor Zhao wrote the prescription normally, ignoring Nanny Fang's look. After writing the prescription and handing it to her, he whispered, "The prescription is normal. The main thing is to make a fuss about the medicine used. If you can't boil the medicine in Fengyi Palace, you can't put anything in it."

Nanny Fang sighed: "Forget it, let's just leave it to fate!"

There's no way to do anything, and there's no way to place anyone in Changle Palace. It seems like we can only hope that the Second Princess forgets about it herself.

Nanny Fang handed the prescription back to Qingfeng, who took it and handed it to Doctor Xu who was standing beside him: "Doctor Xu, please take another look at this prescription. Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, thinking that the people around Concubine Tao were quite alert and even knew to find another imperial physician to take a look, in case there was any confusion after the operation.

Doctor Xu saw that it was a normal prescription and the dosage was suitable for the Second Princess' age, so he nodded and said, "Take it for a while first. If you feel better, reduce the dosage."

Qingfeng then accepted it with confidence and put it carefully into his sleeve pocket.

At this time, the emperor came hurriedly and asked as soon as he entered the door: "How is Yue'er?"

When he came in and saw the room full of people, he first greeted the Queen Mother and said, "I am sorry to be late and disturb you, Mother."

Seeing the Second Princess tightly grasping Tao Yanyan and refusing to come out of her arms, He Linzhang looked at the Queen, who said quickly, "Yu'er fell on her head, and the doctor said there might be blood clots, so she doesn't recognize anyone now, but only Concubine Tao. The Queen Mother's intention is to ask Concubine Tao to take care of her for a while, and then send her back when Yue'er gets better."

He Linzhang saw a few scratches on Tao Yanyan's neck and frowned, "In that case, then listen to the Queen Mother. Concubine Tao, you have to work harder these days to take care of the three children. If you need more manpower, you can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more."

Tao Yanyan said, "That's not necessary. Just let the people who usually take care of the Second Princess go with me to Changle Palace. The Second Princess is used to it, and I'm afraid she won't be used to it if I change people."

"In that case, let's go. I'll take you back. Yue'er, be good. Let your father hold you." He Linzhang gently reached out his hand to the second princess, but unexpectedly he couldn't take her away. The second princess seemed to be stuck to Tao Yanyan.

"Let me hold the child." Tao Yanyan held the child and bowed to the Queen Mother and the Empress: "Then I will take my leave first. Please rest assured, Queen, I will take good care of the Second Princess."

After returning to Changle Palace, the Second Princess seemed to have stabilized a little. She finally stopped crying and was willing to get down from Tao Yanyan's arms. She asked Caiyun in a soft voice, "Aunt Caiyun, when will dinner be served?"

Tao Yanyan touched He Linzhang's arm with amusement and whispered, "Could it be that Yue'er pretended to be sick to come here just to eat at my Changle Palace?"

He Linzhang was also confused. He looked a little unconscious in Changle Palace before.

The second princess seemed to have heard their whispers and ran over to hug Tao Yanyan's thighs: "Don't worry, Concubine Tao, I just don't want to stay with my mother, and I just have a headache. In fact, I know you all."

Tao Yanyan pinched her face and said, "You clever little thing, tell me why you want to act? Do you know that you scared your grandmother and mother?"

The nanny and palace maid who followed behind to take care of the second princess were also frightened and almost lost their lives.

The second princess pouted: "I... I just don't want to stay with my mother. I want to be raised by Concubine Tao like my sister."

After saying this, a few tears fell down, feeling very aggrieved.
