Harem Daily Life

In Changchun Palace, Eunuch Qin also reported what happened at Jingci Temple: "This time, Concubine Tao really did a good thing that made people happy. I heard that Concubine Li was so angry that she wrote a letter to the palace to complain about her grievances, but when the letter reached His Majesty, it didn't cause any trouble."

The Queen Mother was very relieved. "I have wanted to reduce the expenses of that vixen long ago. Why can a person who has undressed to cultivate as a nun enjoy the treatment of a concubine? She is dreaming! But people's words are scary, so I can only let her go."

Now that someone is venting her anger, how could the Queen Mother not be happy!

"Pick two gifts and send them to Changle Palace. She is sincere in standing up for me and is not afraid of affecting her reputation. Of course I have to reward her."

Eunuch Qin agreed and went to the Queen Mother's storehouse in person to select two top-quality glass cups and send them to Concubine Tao.

"Thank you for the Queen Mother's reward. I heard that the Queen Mother is leaving for the hot spring palace. I asked someone to prepare some snacks. I would like to trouble you to bring them back today." Tao Yanyan was well prepared and was very thorough in his back and forth communication.

Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "I heard that the Queen wants you to accompany her to the palace this time. But the Queen Mother wants no one to accompany her. If it's not you, the Queen Mother will not be pleased if anyone else goes."

Tao Yanyan said embarrassedly: "I want to go, but the children have to go to elementary school, so I really can't spare the time. I hope that the father-in-law will go back and say a few good words to the Queen Mother."

Eunuch Qin nodded: "I understand. Concubine Tao raised three royal heirs and saved the third prince that day. Queen Mother, I will remember your contribution!"

At this time, Caiyun also brought over the things prepared for the Queen Mother, and Eunuch Qin hurriedly took them.

"After a while, I'll send someone to make a new one and send it to the Hot Spring Palace."

When Eunuch Qin heard this, he became even happier. He came happily and left happily, with a smile on his face the whole time.

Qingfeng and the others left, and stepped forward and said: "The Queen Mother is sensible, but the Queen is making things difficult for you. Why didn't you complain to Eunuch Qin and vent your anger?"

Tao Yanyan smiled. In fact, she had basically concluded that the emperor's amnesia was related to the woman in Fengyi Palace. The reason she was so anxious to let her accompany the empress dowager to leave was probably because she didn't want the emperor to have too much contact with her, so as to prevent him from remembering her.

The more she didn't want me to have contact with her, the more contact I wanted. Maybe getting along with her was the best way to solve the emperor's amnesia.

"Okay, stop talking about the Queen. The Second Princess's nanny and maidservants are here. Don't let anyone hear it and think that the Queen and I are at odds." Tao Yanyan stopped Qingfeng and went to the study.

In Fengyi Palace, the Queen woke up from her lunch break and played with the Third Princess for a while. Seeing that there was no news of the punishment of Concubine Tao from the Qinzheng Palace, she became very worried.

"Your Majesty, you won't not punish her, right?" The Queen frowned. She didn't expect that the Emperor had forgotten Concubine Tao and still protected her.

Nanny Fang advised, "Your Highness, after all, Concubine Li and the Queen Mother don't get along well. His Majesty may have turned a blind eye to this matter in order not to offend the Queen Mother. Speaking of which, His Majesty really doesn't favor Concubine Li anymore, so it's reasonable for him to ignore Concubine Li."

Nanny Fang poured a cup of tea for the queen: "In a few days, His Majesty will completely dislike other women, and you will be the only one favored in the harem. You should take good care of yourself. In two years, you can give birth to a prince. Good days are still to come!"

The Queen was delighted by what she said: "At this critical moment, we must not let our guard down. Send someone to keep an eye on Changle Palace. I always feel that His Majesty still has feelings for her, otherwise why would he stay at her place?"

Nanny Fang nodded: "Yes, we have sent people to keep an eye on them, don't worry, Madam."

In Changle Palace, Chang Tai came back to report: "Madam, the person following us outside is from Fengyi Palace. It seems that they are under the orders of Nanny Fang. When Xiao Li followed them, he was too far away and couldn't see clearly. It seems that she is 80% Nanny Fang."

Tao Yanyan really couldn't understand why the Queen would go to such lengths. But even if she arrested the person who was following her, she couldn't prove that he came because of the Emperor's amnesia. He could also say that he came to see the Second Princess on behalf of the Queen, and she really couldn't refute that.

Tao Yanyan instructed Chang Tai: "You keep watching and don't let the other party find out. As for when to arrest the person, wait for my news." The emperor sent Qi Yizheng to investigate, but it is unknown whether he found out anything. Now he can only keep his troops in place.

He Linzhang arrived a little late in the evening. Tao Yanyan coaxed the three little ones to sleep and thought he would not come, so he was drowsy.

He Linzhang saw that she had already fallen on the bed, and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say you were waiting for me? Why did you go to bed early again?"

Tao Yanyan recalled the embarrassing incident during the day and said unhappily, "Your Majesty said there is a long time to come, and I thought Your Majesty would not come."

He Linzhang smiled, went to the inner room to wash up alone, came out soon after, and lay down beside Tao Yanyan naturally.

"Why are there two quilts tonight?" He Linzhang asked with a frown as he saw that she was covering herself with only one quilt.

Tao Yanyan lay in the quilt with only her furry head exposed. She blinked her eyes and said, "I remembered tonight and took an extra quilt. I was also thinking about your majesty. Your majesty... cough cough, you must have been holding it in last night. It must be very uncomfortable, right? I'm afraid your majesty will get sick from holding it in. So why don't we each cover ourselves with one quilt? Your majesty can't touch me, so it won't be like... that."

He Linzhang blushed. He had a beautiful woman in his arms last night. His body was very honest, but his mind stopped him. He was tortured all night and it was really uncomfortable.

Tao Yanyan curled her lips and smiled, changing the subject to ease the embarrassment: "By the way, Your Majesty, is there any progress with General Qi?"

He Linzhang lay down and said in a deep voice: "I changed only after the Queen went to Fuyan Temple and came back, so Qi Yizheng checked Fuyan Temple first. It is said that there is a high monk in the temple who can help people change their fortunes. I wonder if it is related to this."

Tao Yanyan thought, the so-called fortune-changing is mostly nonsense, how can anyone have such ability? If there is such a thing, he can just change his own fortune and stop being a monk to become an emperor. Therefore, this monk himself is full of doubts.

He Linzhang looked at the concubine who was frowning in thought and told her his future plans: "I think I won't come to your place after tonight."

Tao Yanyan was stunned: "Why?"

He Linzhang quickly explained for fear that she would misunderstand: "Don't think too much. It's not that I don't want to come, but I thought that I should pretend that I didn't know anything, so that the person who poisoned me would think that he succeeded."

Tao Yanyan puffed up his cheeks. "But what if your majesty doesn't see me for a long time and really forgets me? Without your majesty's support, it will be difficult for me to move forward in this palace. Either your majesty can give me some protection so that I won't be bullied in the palace even without your majesty's protection, then it doesn't matter whether your majesty comes or not."
