Harem Daily Life

When Shu Fei heard what Queen Tao said, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited, like a volcanic eruption, and it was difficult to suppress.

She couldn't help it, so she stood up and bowed, saying in a bad tone: "Empress, we are all concubines in the harem, so we naturally hope to work with you to maintain a good life in the harem. But our life is very different from that of the Empress."

At this point, she glanced at everyone and said, "Your Highness, you are deeply favored by His Majesty, but I can only see His Majesty a few times throughout the year. Before, you were the Imperial Concubine, so it was understandable that you wanted to favor her exclusively, but now that you are the Empress, shouldn't you also persuade His Majesty to treat you equally? Haha, I am being frank today. If anything I said makes Your Highness uncomfortable, I hope you don't take it to heart."

There was no ripple on Tao Yanyan's face. She glanced at the concubines present. Each of them was as pretty as a flower, young and beautiful. It was indeed cruel for them to waste their time in this harem.

However, this was not caused by her, Tao Yanyan. If His Majesty does not go to their palace, can he still kidnap him?

Tao Yanyan sighed and said helplessly: "To be honest with you sisters, when I was pregnant, I often persuaded His Majesty to go to the palaces, but His Majesty... Hey, His Majesty has been on the throne for nearly ten years, and now he is almost thirty years old. As a man, when he gets older, he often feels a little overwhelmed..."

Everyone looked at Tao Yanyan in shock. How could the new queen say such a rebellious thing? She said that His Majesty was not okay in front of the concubines?

But most of the people were expressing regret, wondering why His Majesty died so early?

Shu Fei was so angry that her hands were shaking: "Empress, you...you...how could you slander His Majesty like this?"

Tao Yanyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Shu Fei: "If you don't believe it, go and verify it. Ask His Majesty in person, does he still have the same feelings for you as when he was young?"

Shu Fei's face turned pale. How could she open her mouth to ask?

She had also tried every possible way, using some entertainment items to barely keep His Majesty here, but in the past few years, His Majesty had indeed never stayed overnight in Yongning Palace.

Li Cairen also had a pale face. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She actually cried out "Woo waaa" without caring about her image.

Tao Yanyan looked in the direction of the crying sound and saw Li Cairen crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She rolled her eyes and frowned, "Li Cairen, do you also feel deeply about this and remember that His Majesty ignored you? Hey, how Li Cairen was the most favored in the six palaces back then, you should all have a deeper impression than I do, but His Majesty has gradually lost interest in her in the past few years. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

Li Cairen felt extremely bitter when she thought about how she had acted seductively and charmingly in front of His Majesty many times but failed to arouse his interest in her at all. Every time, she was pushed away by His Majesty with various excuses.

She cried, "So, Your Majesty has been evading me many times. Is this the reason? I have been reflecting on whether I have lost my charm."

Tao Yanyan: “…”

She narrowed her eyes. She had just made it up. She didn't expect that this talented lady Li had deliberately approached He Linzhang when she didn't know!

Others were also getting impatient; no one had expected this result.

Li Jieyu coughed lightly and said, "If your majesty is not feeling well, you can ask the imperial physician to take good care of him. I also ask the Empress to persuade your majesty not to be afraid of seeing a doctor. Your majesty is still young, and we are all in our prime. The harem is empty, and the royal family should give birth to more heirs, so that it can flourish and prosper forever."

Everyone thought that what Concubine Li said was right, and they all looked at Tao Yanyan.

Tao Yanyan nodded: "I have been drinking the medicine. Don't worry, Li Jieyu. When His Majesty is better, I will ask His Majesty to come and see you."

Li Jieyu was terrified and didn't know how to answer, but her face turned visibly red.

Tao Yanyan's eyes darkened, and seeing that there was nothing to worry about, he asked everyone to leave.

Although a lie temporarily calmed everyone down, it was not a long-term solution. Tao Yanyan was still a little unhappy until He Linzhang came over.

Today was the first day of the ceremony, and He Linzhang came early to accompany her. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he asked worriedly, "Are you tired today? You don't look happy?"

Tao Yanyan glared at him and said, "Your Majesty made me the queen. If I want to monopolize Your Majesty now, people will say I'm jealous and petty. How can I be the queen?"

The delicate tone and aggrieved expression are very funny.

He Linzhang pinched her face and said, "Be the queen however you want. Let me take care of the things that make you feel embarrassed. I just want you and the children to be happy and live a good life." After saying that, he could not help but hug her in his arms.

Tao Yanyan thought that she had lied to His Majesty in front of all the concubines, so as to avoid His Majesty getting angry when he heard it from others in the future, so she gritted her teeth and took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, since you value me so much and just want me to be happy, then I did something today, and Your Majesty is not allowed to blame me after hearing it."

She looked at He Linzhang eagerly, her little hands grabbing the front of his shirt, like a coquettish kitten.

He Linzhang raised his eyebrows, feeling that what she was about to say was not a good thing, but he still nodded and said, "Go ahead, I don't blame you."

Tao Yanyan cleared his throat and whispered something in his ear. When he secretly saw his face darken, he quickly put his arms around his neck and nudged him: "Oh, I told you not to be angry, Your Majesty. Why are you still so angry..."

He Linzhang was so angry that he almost laughed. His queen actually slandered him!

Which normal man wouldn't be angry if this happened to him?

Seeing that he remained silent with a frown on his face, Tao Yanyan coaxed him softly, "I had no other choice at the time. I didn't want Your Majesty to go to someone else's place, so I spoke hastily and found that excuse..."

The voice got lower and lower, and finally it was as thin as a mosquito: "Although this excuse is not nice, it is quite useful. Your Majesty, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

When He Linzhang saw her whispering softly beside his ear, he knew that it was rare to find a kitten so good at coaxing people. No matter how angry he was, he could not get angry at all. He simply picked her up and went into the inner room.

After Tao Yanyan got pregnant, He Linzhang had to deal with many inconveniences and couldn't enjoy himself every time. Now that she was already a month pregnant and her body was almost recovered, plus he was irritated by her little mouth, so he couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic.

After an unknown amount of time, Tao Yanyan was so tired that he couldn't even lift his hands, but He Linzhang was still not satisfied.

He just wanted to let her know through his own actions what would happen if he couldn't make up a plan.

The next day, Tao Yanyan was to receive the concubines' morning greetings for the first time. However, she overslept and made everyone wait for a long time before she came out listlessly.
