Harem Daily Life

He Linzhang looked at the person under him for a while, then lay down aside.

Tao Yanyan felt that his mood seemed a little off. He was passionate one second, but a little decadent the next. So he turned sideways, propped up his chin with one hand and asked, "What's wrong with your majesty? Are you worried about something?"

He Linzhang raised his eyes and looked at Tao Yanyan seriously: "What's going on with Prince Yong?"

It has to be said that the emperor's pressure is still very heavy. When He Linzhang asked very seriously, Tao Yanyan knew that he was really suspicious.

In the past, Tao Yanyan would either make jokes or act like a spoiled brat to get away with it, but now it’s clear that these tricks are no longer useful.

However, Tao Yanyan still wanted to struggle a little longer.

"How should I know what happened to Prince Yong? If Your Majesty wants to know, just ask him."

He Linzhang raised a hand and gently stroked Tao Yanyan's face: "You two knew each other before. How long ago? Don't tell me, it was during the past few days when I led troops to suppress bandits."

Tao Yanyan thought, are you trying to trick me? I won't be fooled.

"Your Majesty, if you are jealous, drink some water to neutralize it, so as not to hurt yourself. If you are not jealous, but feel uncomfortable that another man defends his woman, you should reflect on whether you should treat your woman better instead of questioning her here."

He Linzhang put down his hand that was causing trouble: "I will naturally verify it, but I also hope that you can be honest with me. I believe that you are innocent of him, but I know too well the way he looks at you, you are definitely not innocent. You must have known each other before, and your relationship was not ordinary. Right?"

Tao Yanyan sighed softly, knowing that if he didn't say something tonight, he wouldn't be able to end this topic, so he lay flat on his back and said after a while: "Before, he led his troops to suppress the bandits. After meeting me, he told me that he had met me on the road when he came to Beijing a year ago. But I fell into the water before and forgot a lot of things, including him, and I didn't remember meeting him. Is your majesty satisfied with my answer?"

He Linzhang looked at her with a complicated expression: "Forget it, maybe I am overthinking. But I hope you remember that you are my concubine. No matter when and where, you must put me first."

Tao Yanyan lowered her eyelashes: "I understand."

Although Tao Yanyan's words were true, the original owner was gone, and now she really didn't remember Prince Yong, but she still felt a little uneasy. The emperor's suspicion was the most deadly, and the emperor was ruthless. He might love you deeply in the previous second, but he might turn his face and be ruthless in the next second.

Just like tonight, he could carry her back under the moonlight in front of everyone, or he could be in a bad mood and start testing and questioning her as soon as he gets a little help.

Fortunately, the team will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow. From then on, they will be far away from each other and he and King Yong will never see each other again, which can save him a lot of trouble.

Tao Yanyan waited for a long while, and seeing that He Linzhang didn't say anything else, he got up alone, went into the inner room to wash up, slowly washed and changed into clean clothes. When he came out, there was no one in the room.

Tao Yanyan smiled self-deprecatingly, applied some of her skin care products, and then put everything aside to go for her beauty sleep.

Love whoever you want, I’m not going to serve you anymore!

I have to say, it feels good to have a good night’s sleep!

Tao Yanyan had a dreamless night. After waking up, he stretched himself and saw Qingfeng coming in to serve him.

Seeing that Qingfeng looked troubled, Tao Yanyan asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so sad?"

Qing Feng said timidly, "Talented Lady, His Majesty seemed very unhappy when he left last night, and even told me not to come in and serve you. Did you... have a quarrel?"

Qingfeng went to the dinner with Tao Yanyan, so he knew that Concubine Zhao was there to sow discord last night. He was afraid that His Majesty would misunderstand the talented person because of this, so he was worried for a long time.

Tao Yanyan said with a smile: "Everyone has their own ideas. It is normal to have a few arguments when they have different ideas. It can't be called a quarrel. By the way, does Xianglan know that I want her to come here? Is she happy?"

Qingfeng said, "That's right. She was so happy that she drank half a bowl of porridge. She said that when she gets better, she will kowtow to the talented person a few more times to thank him for saving her life and giving her a new life."

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "The grace of saving my life was born out of a momentary compassion. As for the grace of giving me a new life, it depends on her future luck. If she is devoted to me, I will naturally be devoted to her as well. All right, let's set the table first. After eating, we will go to pay our respects to Concubine Hui. You said you would go yesterday, so go earlier and don't keep people waiting. By the way, bring a few pieces of calligraphy that I have been practicing recently. I want to ask Concubine Hui for advice."

Tao Yanyan actually wanted to go find Prince Yong. As he had said before, if he wanted to thank her for saving his life, he should give him some silver. She had to go and collect the money, and also give him a few words, asking him not to pay attention to her for no reason, so as to avoid him getting jealous.

As for He Linzhang, after leaving in anger last night, he returned to Xingqingyuan alone.

It's not that he didn't believe Tao Yanyan, but when he thought of his younger brother coveting his young talent, he found it difficult to suppress his anger.

Worried that he might hurt Tao Yanyan in his anger, he simply left and waited until he had found out the whole story.

In the morning, He Linzhang called King Yong to inspect several livelihood projects in Youzhou. After finishing the business, He Linzhang called King Yong to the carriage, poured him a cup of tea, and asked him about the doubts in his heart.

"So you and Yan Yan have known each other for a long time. Why didn't you tell me? Are you worried that I might misunderstand something?" He Linzhang went straight to the point.

He Tingye didn't expect the emperor to ask him about this, and he didn't know how much the emperor knew, so he answered carefully: "I also went to suppress the bandits, and found out that I had met Tao Cairen before. I didn't tell you, I hope you will forgive me."

"It's okay. But since both of you didn't say anything, it made outsiders suspicious. You really shouldn't have helped her out every time last night. You know, a woman's reputation is very important and is most likely to lead to rumors." He Linzhang took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Yes, I handled the matter improperly and caused trouble to you, my Lord." Prince Yong said apologetically.

"Yan Yan confessed to me everything that happened when you first met. But because she fell into the water, she forgot some things and didn't think of you. I'm sure you have explained it clearly, right?" The emperor looked at Prince Yong and asked.

"Yes, it's all explained. Tao Cairen is kind-hearted and never asks for anything in return. I am very grateful. I happened to have prepared some silver as a thank you. I would like to ask you to take it back and give it to Tao Cairen to thank her for saving me from the water."

He Linzhang narrowed his eyes slightly. So, there was a story of a beauty saving a hero? It seemed that the young talent was still not honest enough!
