Harem Daily Life

In the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, Lord Rong's face turned cold: "Oh, the Yan State didn't waste a moment and started to order people around right away!"

The subordinate said in embarrassment: "My Lord, I just went to the warehouse to check. As for the farm tools, they can be said to have been bought and sent to the farm outside the city. With the name of our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, it is no problem to leave the city, but those weapons... are really hard to take out."

"How many weapons are there? Can they be hidden in the carriage?" asked Lord Rong.

The subordinate thought for a moment and said, "It can be hidden with some difficulty."

Lord Rong tapped the table lightly and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will be responsible for transporting the farm tools out of the city. Say you are sending them to the farm to start the spring ploughing. Hide all the weapons in my carriage, and I will take them."

The subordinate quickly agreed, as he had to load the things overnight and there was no time to waste.

After he left, Mrs. Rong came over crying, "My Lord, you can't just ignore my nephew's affairs!" Mrs. Rong covered her face and cried, "Tang Ming is my cousin's only son. If he is beaten in the Jingzhao Yin's prison, how can the Tang family continue the family line? My Lord, go and take a look and smooth things over!"

Marquis Zhongyong was extremely annoyed. He didn't know if he had stirred up a hornet's nest today. How come all these things happened at the same time?

First, I heard that the lady's good-for-nothing cousin had offended the princess of the Prince of Changping's Mansion, and was beaten by General Gu, the son of the Ningyuan Marquis, and was sent directly to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen.

Then Concubine De sent someone to say that Mu Chenfeng was restless and had a fight with His Majesty in the palace, and both of them were injured. He almost jumped out, fearing that Mu Chenfeng's identity would be exposed and cause a big trouble.

As a result, at night, the Yan State asked him to transport things out of the city, which was obviously a test of their strength.

Marquis Zhongyong slammed the table fiercely: "Okay, stop crying!" The harsh shout frightened Mrs. Rong into silence.

"Your cousin from the Tang family is one of the most dissolute and brainless people. Is he blind and doesn't he know that the other party is the princess of the royal palace? How dare he provoke her? I think he deserves it. He should be locked up in the prison of Jingzhao Yinfu to wake up his brain!"

Madam Rong burst into tears and thought for a while before saying, "My Lord, when you wanted to arrange those people in the garrison in the capital, the Tang family also helped. Tang Jun sent a box of silver. Please consider his painstaking efforts for your son and help him get some help. You can't just use people when you need them and then abandon them when they are in trouble!"

The Loyal and Brave Marquis was displeased. Although Tang Jun's official position was not high, he was a soldier who could work for the Rong family in the front. Considering that he might be useful in the future, he said, "Okay, I'll send someone with the token to tell them tomorrow morning. You go back first. I have important things to do in the next two days. Don't bother me."

Mrs. Rong had no choice but to wipe her tears and leave the study.

As soon as he went out, he met Aunt Li who came to the study to invite the Marquis with some midnight snacks.

Madam Rong blocked Aunt Li's way with an unhappy look on her face and said, "The Marquis said he had something important to do, so Aunt Li doesn't need to go to the Marquis. Go back to your courtyard quickly."

Aunt Li is only 25 years old this year. She is a commoner girl that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery met when he was at the border. Seeing how beautiful she was, he took her into the mansion as a concubine. She has been very favored over the years, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery even brought her with him when he returned to Beijing.

Aunt Li gently stroked the hair that fell by her ear and whispered softly, "Madam, the Marquis sent me here to serve you. He also said that he wanted to eat the tonic that I cooked. So, I cooked the deer antler soup for several hours and brought it to you. If you can't eat it, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well tonight!"

Madam Rong was so angry that she was eating deer antler soup late at night. This bitch must be aroused and seduced him on purpose.

Aunt Li saw that her mistress looked unhappy, so she didn't dare to say anything more. She raised her voice and asked, "My Lord, are you in the study?"

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the study was opened, and the loyal and brave marquis came out. Seeing that Aunt Li was stopped by the lady, he frowned and said, "Why hasn't the lady left yet?" He glanced at Aunt Li again and said, "Come in quickly, have a midnight snack and rest well."

After saying that, he turned around and went in, ignoring Mrs. Rong's ugly expression.

Aunt Li put on a triumphant gesture, stepped aside and said with a smile: "Then I will go in first, Madam, take care!"

She walked in gracefully, without closing the study door tightly, so the sounds inside could be heard clearly from outside.

"My Lord, the deer antler soup I cooked today is the best. I will feed it to you, Lord."

After a while, the sound of a woman's moans and giggles could be heard from inside.

"Oh, Lord, this is in the study, Lord, please don't be so anxious~"

Mrs. Rong couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she clenched her fists and left angrily with her people.

"Is this what he meant by having important things to do? Humph, my nephew is suffering in prison, but he doesn't care. He just cares about fooling around with that little bitch!" Madam Rong returned to the room and cursed angrily.

The nanny quickly handed over some tea and said, "Madam, don't get angry and get sick. No matter how favored Concubine Li is, she can't compare to you in having children. Our brother is now a general, in charge of a hundred thousand troops, and our Concubine De is assisting in managing the six palaces. She might be made queen one day. Madam, your two children are both very promising. Why are you angry with that childless Concubine Li?"

Madam Rong was still so angry that she shed tears: "If I didn't have to rely on him to protect my two children, I would have quarreled with him and torn my face apart long ago!"

The nanny hurriedly advised: "Madam, you are just talking in anger. The master has made great military achievements and is now a marquis. Madam is the wife of a marquis, which is one of the most honorable and prestigious positions in the capital. You can't make a fuss! When Ye'er takes that position in the future, you will be the monarch's grandmother. No matter how bad the marquis is, he will be able to protect Ye'er. A little impatience will ruin a big plan. Madam, you need to think long-term."

Mrs. Rong took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

In the palace, He Linzhang arrived a little late. After he washed up, he gently hugged Tao Yanyan from the side. Tao Yanyan fell asleep half lying down, and felt someone was hugging her waist, so she leaned towards He Linzhang and fell asleep again.

She had originally thought of talking to the emperor about Mu Chenfeng's disguise last night when he came, but she fell asleep last night and didn't have time to say it. When she woke up in the morning, He Linzhang had already gone to court.

After breakfast, Chang Tai came in from outside and handed over an exquisite box: "Your Majesty, the people of Yan State found Dali last night and asked her to hand over this box to you. Dali found Dongfang, and Dongfang did not dare to delay and sent it to the palace early in the morning."

Tao Yanyan felt strange, took the box and opened it, and saw an exquisitely carved purple jade pendant.

Qingfeng walked over to take a look and said, "This plum blossom is really well carved. Is there a phoenix on the other side?"

There was also a small note in the box. Tao Yanyan opened it and saw only one line of small words on it: "The promise of winter plum will be fulfilled in the future."

She knew that this should have been sent by Mu Chenfeng because he had invited her to go to Yan State to appreciate the plum blossoms.

Tao Yanyan put the jade pendant away and handed it to Qingfeng: "Put it away."

Anyway, no matter what purpose Mu Chenfeng had in giving him a piece of jade, he would just accept it because the jade was exquisite and valuable.

I also created a lot of iron ore trading transactions for the State of Yan. He made so much money, so it's not impossible for him to give me a piece of jade in return.
