Harem Daily Life

Xianglan was originally a maid of Concubine Zhao. She was seriously injured before, and it was Tao Yanyan who insisted on treating her. Because of this, he had a small conflict with He Linzhang and they were separated for a few days. He Linzhang was deeply impressed.

When he heard that the young talent wanted to ask the maid to serve her, he felt that the young talent was kind-hearted. She must be worried that Xianglan had offended Concubine Zhao and would not have a good ending when she returned. It would be better to recruit her directly to serve him so that his efforts to save her life would not be in vain.

So the emperor agreed directly.

Lady Zhao had not expected that Lady Tao would offer such a reward, and she couldn't figure out why. Was Xianglan worth wasting such a good opportunity?

Shu Fei and Fan Cairen didn't understand either. In their opinion, this kind of servant girl was not worth using. She had served others and was someone else's confidant. It would be strange if she could be used.

Qingfeng was happy to see that his talented man had solved the issue of Xianglan's stay or departure so quickly, and he was even happier that he could follow such a loyal and affectionate master.

Because of Tao Yanyan's amazing pipa, neither Lady Zhao nor Princess Yong acted up in the second half. They were beaten to a pulp, so who would go up to them and get slapped in the face? It would be better to just wait until the end.

"I heard that Your Majesty has been away from the capital for many days. I am afraid that you will leave for the capital soon. Before you leave, I want to send some things to the Queen Mother. Please take them back. They are all specialties of Youzhou. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

"You are so polite, Mother Hui. If you have time, please come back to Beijing to live for a while. Mother has always missed you."

"Okay, I will definitely go back. It's getting late, so let's go. Your Majesty, if you are free these days, please come to my palace often." Concubine Hui said politely.

"I plan to set off the day after tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be free these few days. However, Talented Lady Tao loves calligraphy, so could I ask her to come and ask Concubine Hui for some pointers?" He Linzhang did not forget that the talented lady had said she wanted to learn calligraphy from Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Of course, come over tomorrow. Talented Tao is an excellent zither player, so I'm sure his calligraphy should be good too."

He Linzhang's mouth twitched, but he did not reveal the truth that Tao Yanyan often missed radicals and strokes when writing.

After everyone left, they left the Cining Palace. Princess Yong prepared three sedan chairs and said embarrassedly, "There are usually only three masters in the palace, so there are not many sedan chairs. I hope your majesty and the ladies will forgive me."

There were five emperors in total, so three hats were obviously not enough.

He Linzhang said, "Mrs. Fan is pregnant, and Concubine Shu is weak, so the two of you should ride in the sedan chair."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess Yong." The two of them expressed their gratitude.

Then He Linzhang looked at Lady Zhao and Lady Tao. Under the moonlight, Tao Yanyan looked like a cool fairy, kicking the ground lightly out of boredom. He Linzhang said without thinking, "Lady Zhao, please take the sedan chair."

Lady Zhao, who had originally had no hope, was suddenly favored. She hurriedly thanked the emperor and did not forget to give Lady Tao a provocative smile.

Tao Yanyan ignored her completely. She had been put on Tao Yanyan's "blacklist of people not to be associated with". If it was not necessary, he would not even look at her.

"Yan Yan, come with me for a walk back, it will help digest the food." He Linzhang's words made Concubine Zhao unable to laugh at all.

Taking a walk under the moonlight, how romantic, and then it would be natural to stay at Tao Cairen's courtyard, right?

Lady Zhao’s silver teeth were almost broken.

Prince Yong stood aside, clenching and unclenching his hands in his sleeves.

Tao Yanyan was stunned, then nodded in a silly manner. In fact, it was not even eight o'clock yet, so she should walk around to digest the food, otherwise she would gain weight easily. She had eaten a lot today, and in the second half of the meal, she was concentrating on eating and did not participate in any topic.

He Linzhang took her hand and said to Prince Yong: "Tingye, you guys go back and have a rest. Come see me tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I'll take my leave and see you off, brother." But his eyes were fixed on the hands that were being held, and he was reluctant to move away for a long time.

Tao Yanyan nodded goodbye to Prince Yong and his wife, and was then led away by He Linzhang.

After everyone had gone far away, He Tingye said, "Actually, you don't have to spend so much time and effort on deliberately not preparing a sedan chair for her."

Princess Yong was shocked and immediately explained, "The others all have some flaws, so I dare not give them to your majesty. Your Majesty has misunderstood!"

He Tingye chuckled, "Yunlan, you and I have been married for five years, I still know what you are thinking. I only said this once, I didn't know where she went before, so I kept looking for her, now that she has become my brother's woman, I will not do anything foolish. She and I are innocent, you don't need to do anything against her. If I find out that you embarrass her in private again, then you pack your luggage and go back to your parents' home by yourself."

Princess Yong's fingers dug into her palm, and this time she really pinched it and it bled.

On the other side, under the bright moonlight, He Linzhang held Tao Yanyan's hand, and the two of them walked forward under the moonlight.

At the beginning, Tao Yanyan was relatively dignified, but as they walked, she gradually became like a boneless little rabbit, leaning entirely on He Linzhang.

"Your Majesty, I can't walk anymore. How about you carry me back?" Tao Yanyan acted coquettishly and pulled He Linzhang's arm to act like a spoiled child.

When the palace servants and maids following her heard this, they all thought that Concubine Tao must be drunk, otherwise, how could she dare to do such a treasonous thing as asking the king of a country to carry her on his back?

Besides, how could Your Majesty agree?

But what made their eyes almost fall to the ground was that the emperor half squatted slightly, patted his shoulder, and motioned Tao Cairen to go up.

The slap in the face came so quickly that the palace servants and maids couldn't bear to watch.

Tao Yanyan was not polite either. He jumped and threw himself on He Linzhang's back, wrapped his wrists around He Linzhang's neck, and rested his head on his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, your back is so broad and makes me feel so safe!" Since you are taking advantage of someone else, of course you have to flatter him.

"Well, as long as you like it." He Linzhang said lovingly.

Tao Yanyan's mouth twitched when he heard this. He suddenly felt a little helpless. What was going on?

But Tao Yanyan ignored it and continued to talk in He Linzhang's ear.

Her voice was soft and her breath was as sweet as orchid. The heat from her words hit He Linzhang's ears, making them turn red and the color never went away.

Tao Yanyan also noticed it. His eyes rolled around, he clasped his hands tighter, and actually kissed He Linzhang's earlobe gently.

He Linzhang's whole body tensed up for a moment, as if an electric current was running through his limbs. He calmed himself and quickened his pace.

"Oh, Your Majesty, please slow down. You're shaking me." Tao Yanyan exclaimed in a low voice.

He Linzhang remained unmoved and even quickened his pace.

After hurriedly returning to Tao Yanyan's yard, He Linzhang closed the door, took her directly to the bed, and pressed her down.

"Where did you bite me along the way?" He Linzhang held the person under him and asked in a low voice.

"Ear, earlobe. Don't you bite me all the time? Why is it that only Your Majesty is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

It’s unfair, huh!
