Harem Daily Life

When He Linzhang heard that all the people surrounding the Changle Palace had been evacuated by the Empress Dowager, he hurried to Changle Palace with Eunuch Zhang, but he didn't expect to find nothing.

"Did they all go to Changchun Palace? The two little ones went too? At this time?" It was already dark. The empress dowager was too anxious. She actually asked Yan Yan to take the five children to Changchun Palace. The two youngest ones were not allowed to go out at night to avoid encountering any unclean things.

He Linzhang was so angry that he quickly got on the imperial carriage and went to Changchun Palace.

In Changchun Palace, the empress dowager was surrounded by three children. She was holding Yu Cheng in her arms. Yu Cheng hadn't seen the empress dowager for several days. He didn't dare to blink and kept staring at the empress dowager.

Eunuch Qin was holding Yunuo, walking back and forth with a big smile on his face.

"Grandmother, are your hands tired? Yu Cheng is really heavy now."

Xiao Yucheng, who was said to be depressed, tilted his head to glance at Jinan and pouted: "Uh uh, oh."

You are the heavier one. I weigh only 15 kilograms at most. Why don’t you talk about your good sister Yunuo? She weighs 17 kilograms.

Yunuo, who was drowsy in Eunuch Qin's arms, yawned: "Na na na na."

Are you polite? If you're jealous of my cuteness, just say so. Don't attack my weight.

The Queen Mother smiled with a smile: "It's good for children to be a little fat. You are really the sweetheart of the Royal Grandmother." After saying that, the Queen Mother freed one hand to touch Jin'an's head, and pinched He Xuan and He Yue's faces: "You guys are all the sweethearts of the Royal Grandmother."

Tao Yanyan originally wanted to ask about Shu Fei being summoned to Changchun Palace and then being beaten with a stick and sent back, but seeing the grandparents and grandchildren having so much fun in front of her, she didn't dare to open her mouth, so she just waited by the side with a smile.

When He Linzhang arrived and saw this scene, he could only pay his respects and sit with the queen.

After not seeing each other for a few days, He Linzhang missed Tao Yanyan very much. He held Tao Yanyan's hand and looked at her left and right, never getting tired of it.

Tao Yanyan blushed: "Your Majesty, wait until you get back to see it. The Queen Mother and the children are here."

Tao Yanyan whispered, "It's really His Majesty's gaze that's too sticky. It's hard not to blush when being stared at like that."

"It's okay. I haven't seen you for many days. What's wrong with looking at you a few more times?" After saying that, he looked at Eunuch Qin again. Eunuch Qin had no choice but to reluctantly hand the little princess to His Majesty.

Finally holding the precious little princess, He Linzhang was incredibly gentle. Little Yunuo kicked her little legs and was excited for a while, probably because she recognized that this was her father who loved her the most. But she was too sleepy, yawned twice, and slowly fell asleep.

Seeing this, the wet nurse wanted to come forward to take the baby, but He Linzhang stopped her: "I can just hold it."

The wet nurse, who had already extended her hand, had to retreat respectfully.

"Well, mother, it's getting late. The children should go to bed early, and you should also rest. Why don't I take the queen and the children and leave first?" He Linzhang couldn't wait any longer. Holding the already sleeping Yu Nuo in his arms, he wanted to take everyone back quickly.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and handed Yu Cheng to the wet nurse. "You and I will go to the study. The Queen and the children will wait for a while."

After saying that, Eunuch Qin helped the empress dowager to stand up. He Linzhang had no choice but to give Tao Yanyan a look that said "calm down" before following the empress dowager to the study.

The Empress Dowager did not hide the matter of Shu Fei and told the Emperor all her motives and actions.

"It is unfortunate for our family to have such an evildoer, plotting to murder the heir to the throne. I feel bad about this. Your Majesty, I was determined to punish her today, but when I thought of my brother's only legitimate daughter, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I will demote her to the rank of a concubine and confine her to Yongning Palace. From now on, I will no longer care about her and let her fend for herself."

He Linzhang didn't expect Shu Fei to do so many bad things, and his mood was not very good for a while.

However, there was one point in the Queen Mother's words that he did not understand.

"Mother, since you didn't think it was the Queen's doing from the beginning, why didn't you tell me first? I've been worried for days."

The Queen Mother choked, her eyes were vague, she coughed a few times and said nothing.

He Linzhang frowned, thinking of an answer he was unwilling to admit, and tentatively asked, "Could it be that Queen Mother doesn't trust me and thinks that telling me will cause your plan to fail?"

The Queen Mother's eyes drifted towards the beams, and her silence meant everything.

He Linzhang: “…”

My heart is bleeding. The king of a country is actually despised by his own queen mother!

"Alright, alright, take the Queen and the others back quickly. They've been frightened these past few days, so you need to comfort them." The Queen Mother urged, wanting to send her resentful son away.

The family returned to Changle Palace in a grand manner. Tao Yanyan made arrangements for the children before returning to the bedroom.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood. Is it because of Shufei?" Tao Yanyan asked while lying in He Linzhang's arms after washing up and going to bed.

He Linzhang nodded: "It was she who poisoned her. The Queen Mother has found out. She not only poisoned Ye'er, but also Rong Cairen."

Tao Yanyan was stunned. He never expected that Shu Fei was also involved in Rong Cairen's death.

"From now on, there will be no Shu Fei, only Shu Cairen. You should reduce her share of the palace. She framed you, and her crime is unforgivable."

Tao Yanyan hummed softly, "I believe this incident must have dealt the most severe blow to the Empress Dowager. I will go to Changchun Palace more often to accompany her in the future."

He Linzhang snorted coldly: "Yes, she planned and planned this time, found out the truth of the matter, and even killed her relatives for the sake of justice, eliminating a cancer around her."

When Tao Yanyan heard his sad tone, she bit her lip and said nothing, worried that if she said too much, His Majesty would think more deeply and realize that he also knew in advance that the Queen Mother's siege of Changle Palace was a show, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark and anxious.

Whatever is terrible will come true. He Linzhang is so smart that he had thought deeply about it on the way back.

He lowered his head and gently lifted the little queen's chin: "Is the Queen Mother colluding with you to put on this show? You are such a heartless little thing! It's a shame that I worry about you every day."

Tao Yanyan gave a few dry laughs, "There's nothing I can do. I'm imprisoned and can't contact Your Majesty. Besides, this is something the Queen Mother specifically instructed me to do. I dare not disobey."

After saying that, Tao Yanyan blinked her innocent big eyes and looked at He Linzhang very sincerely.

Anyway, everything was the Queen Mother's idea. Queen Tao was forced to hide it from Your Majesty because of the Queen Mother's pressure.

He Linzhang didn't argue with her for too long. After all, there were more important things to do.

His longing for her surged like a flood, unstoppable. And now, the person he'd been thinking about was right there in his arms again, within reach. He couldn't suppress his inner impulse any longer, so he rolled over and kissed her.

The guards outside Changle Palace were all withdrawn, and Shufei of Yongning Palace was demoted to a talented person. The concubines were all curious and gathered in Changle Palace early in the morning to pay their respects and find out the truth.
