Harem Daily Life

Mingyue found an opportunity to remind Tao Cairen when Qingfeng was doing needlework.

"Talented lady, are you really willing to ask Xianglan to come and serve you? After all, she is Lady Zhao's confidant."

Tao Yanyan is practicing calligraphy. He has been sleeping outdoors in the wilderness for quite some time. Today he will write more since he has some free time.

After hearing Mingyue's words, she put down her pen and said, "She survived with so much difficulty, I was really touched, so I granted her a wish. Now that I have said it, I cannot break my promise. It's okay for her to come and serve me, and she can also help you and Qingfeng share some of the burden. Of course, if she has second thoughts, I will send her away. But if she is devoted to me, I will treat her well."

Tao Yanyan is not stupid. If she were Xianglan, she might also make such a wish.

This is the first time for all of us to be a human being, who doesn’t want to live a good life?

Who wants to live a life of being beaten and scolded every day?

Only a fool would go back.

Mingyue saw that her talented person knew the situation better than anyone else, so she stopped talking.

Tao Yanyan smiled at her and said, "Mingyue, you are smart. If there is anything I overlook in the future, you must remind me more often."

Mingyue said a little embarrassedly: "I'm just timid, so I think more about some things. I hope people don't find me annoying."

"How could that be? You and Qingfeng are my right-hand men and women. Whether I live well in the palace in the future depends entirely on you taking care of me."

The master and servant talked for a while, and then Tao Yanyan concentrated on writing.

Ever since He Linzhang gave her the copybook, she has been copying the characters on it every day. Although she doesn't write fast or like the original, she has made progress compared to when she first started practicing.

Well, there is still huge room for improvement in the future!

Mingyue was grinding ink at the side, looking at Tao Cairen's calligraphy, and said, "The words on this calligraphy are really beautiful!"

"Yes, His Majesty said it was Mr. Yougui's handwriting."

Mingyue was just a maid serving in the palace, so naturally she had never heard of Mr. Yougui. She just thought he should be a very famous calligrapher.

It was almost time for the banquet when Tao Yanyan put down his pen and started to change his clothes.

At this time, Qingfeng came in with a newly made ribbon and handed it to Tao Yanyan: "Cairen, I have made it according to what you said, but I don't know how it will turn out. Would you like to try it on first?"

Because her neck was covered with bruises from being bitten by He Linzhang, she couldn't face others. Even if she put on powder, it was still visible if you got close, so Tao Yanyan temporarily asked Qingfeng to make a scarf for her, which she planned to wear around her neck to cover it up.

Qingfeng's needlework is pretty good, and the stitches are also fine. She uses soft patterned silk to make it. She only needs to lock the edges and embroider a little bit of small patterns. Time is urgent, so the pattern is not too complicated, but it is precisely because of this that this scarf looks more high-end.

After Tao Yanyan changed her clothes and put on the silk scarf, she looked surprisingly harmonious. Most importantly, she had completely covered up the evidence of He Linzhang's crime that he had left on her.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were both stunned that there was actually such a combination.

Tao Yanyan was very satisfied and praised: "Qingfeng, when you leave the palace in the future, why don't I invest in you to open a clothing store? I will provide the drawings and you will make them. Maybe we can make a lot of money."

Qingfeng was a little embarrassed and said, "How can I open a shop with my limited skills? But the patterns given by the talented person are really beautiful. I have never seen them before!"

As if thinking of something, Qingfeng said with a red face: "But talented person, the pattern of Xiaoyi can't be spread out. Don't draw it in the future. I have torn up and burned the ones you gave me. We can't let outsiders know."

Seeing Qingfeng blushing and admonishing him seriously, Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "Well, okay, I'll listen to you."

Not long after, the palace maid who had come to deliver the message arrived. Tao Yanyan looked at her makeup again to make sure there were no omissions before she followed Qingfeng out with the palace maid. Mingyue was responsible for looking after the house and Xianglan, and did not follow them.

I have to say that Prince Yong's Mansion is quite large, magnificently built, and has nice scenery. However, it is a bit difficult to walk to the Cining Palace.

Seeing that it was still early, and going too early would be awkward, Tao Yanyan did not walk too fast, but walked leisurely. Unexpectedly, he met the four members of the patrol team one after another on the road.

The first person I met was Cairen Fan, who was supported by her palace maids and seemed to have a hard time taking every step.

Tao Yanyan, who came later, took the lead and greeted her calmly. Seeing that her attitude was not enthusiastic, Tao Yanyan overtook Fan Cairen and took the lead.

"Talented lady, look at Talented Lady Tao. I heard that she just came back last night and has been pestering Your Majesty all night long. She is truly a vixen." A palace maid said disdainfully.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty would still be willing to see her. It is said that she offended Concubine Zhao for the sake of Xianglan, which made His Majesty disgusted with her and threw her into the wilderness. But who could have thought that she would be favored again after returning!" another palace maid said suspiciously.

Lady Fan's face was pale. Because of her pregnancy, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she had lost a lot of weight. Since she came to Youzhou and lived in Prince Yong's Mansion, His Majesty had never visited her once, which made her even more upset.

"Okay, say less. This is someone else's territory. Don't let someone with ulterior motives overhear you and cause trouble." Cairen Fan scolded the two palace maids, and the sounds finally became quieter.

Tao Yanyan walked in front and soon met Shu Fei. She had a good impression of Shu Fei. She was the niece of the empress dowager and the cousin of the emperor. They had been through life and death together, so she hurriedly walked a few steps forward and greeted her, saying, "Greetings to Her Majesty Shu Fei. How are you?"

Shu Fei knew last night that Concubine Tao had returned, and she also knew that His Majesty would stay overnight as soon as she returned.

I also heard that Tao Cairen encountered bandits on the road and she and General Qi helped to wipe out the bandits. Her experience was quite magical.

Looking at the charming person in front of her, she sighed slightly in her heart and said, "Sister, please don't be polite. I have worked hard on the way and I think I have been frightened. Let the imperial physician prescribe two doses of tranquilizing soup for you to nourish yourself."

Tao Yanyan smiled and thanked Shu Fei for her concern, and the two of them went towards the Cining Palace together, chatting casually along the way.

When they were almost at the Cining Palace, Concubine Zhao also caught up.

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence? I saw a few people from afar, but I didn't expect it to be Sister Shufei." Concubine Zhao greeted Shufei, but completely ignored Tao Yanyan who was standing beside her.

Tao Yanyan didn't want to pay attention to her, but this was Prince Yong's mansion, and she was worried that someone would see her and say she didn't know etiquette, so she said indifferently: "Miss Zhao is well."

Lady Zhao seemed to have just seen Tao Yanyan and exclaimed, "Ah, it's Concubine Tao? I almost didn't recognize you. I thought you were still in the wilderness!"

Tao Yanyan: “…”

You, the instigator, how dare you come and laugh at me? I'll be surprised if I don't fight you!
