Harem Daily Life

When He Linzhang saw Tao Yanyan come in, he put down the book in his hand and extended his hand to the young talent.

Tao Yanyan obediently placed her hand on his palm, stroking his rough palm, and said, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"

He Linzhang held the person on his lap and said, "Since I ascended the throne, in the past five years, only three children have been born safely. The number of offspring is a little small."

Tao Yanyan thought about it. There were so many women in the harem, but only three were born in five years. It was indeed not much. She couldn't help but look down at the emperor's lower body. He Linzhang's mouth twitched: "What's that look in your eyes?"

After saying that, his face turned dark.

Tao Yanyan quickly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm not doubting Your Majesty. It's just that I read a book before, which said that too frequent sex can also make it difficult to get pregnant, so Your Majesty should be more restrained."

He Linzhang frowned and said, "What kind of messed up books have you read in private? Don't let them poison you."

He recalled that when he stayed overnight before, he often saw the young talent reading storybooks. Could it be that there were some messy things written in those storybooks?

"Humph, no way. I have good judgment. How can I be fooled so easily?" Tao Yanyan said angrily, "By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Zhao was demoted to a talented lady?"

He Linzhang hummed, "I heard that she threatened you yesterday? I clearly warned her not to mention the matter of Prince Yong again, but she turned a deaf ear to me and threatened you. She was like that again last night. I just lost a child and I'm feeling depressed, but she dressed up so beautifully for no one to see!"

Tao Yanyan patted his chest and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not worth it. She can't threaten me anyway. I am upright and I am not afraid of her. By the way, Your Majesty, have you visited Concubine Fan today? She just had a miscarriage and she really needs your comfort."

He Linzhang pinched her face and said, "I have sent someone to give her gifts to comfort her."

Haha, that means no one is going! Tao Yanyan did not continue this topic and talked about watching the rain on the river this morning.

He Linzhang listened very carefully. He always felt very relaxed when being with the young talent. It was a pleasure to watch her talk about her experiences in a vivid way.

"By the way, there is a Qingcheng Mountain not far ahead. I heard that the Taoist temple on the mountain is very effective. Do you want to go there?" He Linzhang asked.

Tao Yanyan nodded with sparkling eyes: "Okay, okay, it's rare for me to go out, I must go and worship if I pass by, there may never be such an opportunity again in the future."

He Linzhang said with a smile: "Do you like life outside the palace so much? You must have been very bored in your boudoir before."

Tao Yanyan pouted, thinking of the life of a lady from a wealthy family, and made up a story: "That's right. You can't go out, you have nowhere to play, you spend the whole day reading, practicing calligraphy, or doing needlework. In the end, you don't know how to do anything."

When He Linzhang thought about the young talent missing strokes when writing, he couldn't help laughing. His chest was shaking. God knows he hadn't smiled since last night.

"Then make a purse for me some other day." He Linzhang wanted to see how funny the young talent's embroidery skills would be.

Tao Yanyan waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I'm not good at embroidery, I can't even sew up the holes on my dress."

"Don't worry, no matter how you embroider it, I promise to take good care of it." He Linzhang said sincerely.

Tao Yanyan blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, your words are as good as gold. You are not allowed to break your promise."

He Linzhang saw her eyes rolling around and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Mount Qingcheng is located in the middle reaches of the river. The official ship took another day to reach the foot of the mountain. Some people were left on the boat, and the rest followed the emperor to climb the mountain.

Tao Yanyan deliberately wore clothes that were convenient for walking. Fortunately, there were stone steps along the way. Although it was a bit slippery, it did not affect walking.

Fan Cairen didn't come because she needed to rest. Zhao Meiren never exercised much, and she couldn't climb anymore after climbing one-third of the way, so she was sent back. Although Shu Fei was climbing with the team, she looked more tired. He Linzhang would turn back from time to time to wait for Shu Fei, and even led her up the mountain, which seemed very considerate.

Shu Fei was visibly happy, but also visibly tired.

On the contrary, Tao Yanyan spent the whole day taking care of his health after falling into the water. He exercised from time to time, such as skipping rope and practicing yoga. He did not feel weak at all and sometimes even felt refreshed.

Although He Linzhang was holding Shu Fei's hand, his eyes were on Tao Yanyan. He looked at the energetic young talent with admiration in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Shu Fei called out twice before He Linzhang turned around: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Shu Fei suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a Taoist priest named Xuanqing on Mount Qingcheng who is very good at fortune-telling. Can I ask him to tell my fortune?"

Although the emperor did not believe in ghosts and gods, nor in fate, he respected Shu Fei's choice: "Well, go ahead, and bring a few more people with you."

Shu Fei originally wanted to ask the emperor to accompany her, but the emperor had obviously refused her, so she wisely said nothing more.

When the group climbed up the mountain, they saw an ancient Taoist temple hidden among lush green trees.

Qi Yizheng took people to look around first, and then reported back: "The Taoist temple is safe, please come in, Your Majesty."

He Linzhang led his men in. Maybe it was the rainy season recently, so not many people went up the mountain. Only a few pilgrims were seen, and the rest were Taoists.

Suddenly seeing such a group of extraordinary people coming in, the Taoist boy immediately went to report to Taoist Master Xuanqing.

Everyone originally thought that Taoist Xuanqing should be an old man with gray hair and beard, but they didn't expect that the person who came was a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

Because of the pure practice, it even has a sense of otherworldliness.

He Linzhang temporarily instructed everyone to call him Master He, Shu Fei's identity was Madam He, and Tao Yanyan was a concubine, so she was called Aunt.

After Xuan Qing roughly greeted the distinguished guests, he led everyone in. Although tea was served, no one drank it.

Xuanqing began to introduce Qingcheng Mountain and their Qingcheng Temple, and asked about the visitor's intentions.

He Linzhang said, "I heard that the Taoist priest's fortune-telling is very effective. My wife wants to have a fortune-telling."

Xuan Qing moved his gaze to Shu Fei, frowned slightly, then moved his gaze to Tao Yanyan, and suddenly stood up.

Everyone was shocked by his action, and Qi Yizheng even put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

Xuan Qing quickly apologized, "I'm really sorry. I just saw this young lady suddenly and was shocked by her appearance. I lost my composure."

Tao Yanyan moved his body unnaturally: Could it be that this face is too beautiful and blinded the young Taoist priest's eyes?
