Harem Daily Life

Adhering to the principle of not undermining a child's self-confidence, Tao Yanyan said, "Jin'an is already amazing. He's well-educated, has excellent handwriting, and practices martial arts diligently. Yin Jiu even praised your talent. As for your painting, it's just a little bit off. If you really want to learn, your mother can find you a master to teach you."

I used to copy by myself, but now it seems I need to find a famous teacher to teach me.

Jin An said seriously, "I want to learn. I want to be as proficient in both civil and military arts as my father. My only weakness now is painting. So please, Queen Mother, find a famous teacher for me. I can spare an hour every day to learn painting from him."

Since the child was so motivated, Tao Yanyan naturally couldn't refute it, so she really put a lot of effort into choosing a teacher in the next few days.

However, she had no connections, and it was not convenient for her to send Jin'an out of the palace to study. She was afraid that he would be in danger, so she could not make up her mind for a while.

"I see that you are very busy these days. What are you busy with?" He Linzhang came over that night and asked Tao Yanyan while hugging her.

Tao Yanyan had no choice but to explain Jin'an's situation. "That child is very eager to learn, but I'm not sure how to hire a teacher. If I send him to someone else's house, I'm worried. If I bring him in, that's not convenient either."

He Linzhang raised an eyebrow, carefully studying Tao Yanyan for a moment, and couldn't help scratching her nose: "People say pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years, but the Queen's silly look is inexplicably cute."

Tao Yanyan was stunned and pouted, "I was so anxious, and Your Majesty is teasing me. Humph, you even said I was stupid. If you think I'm stupid, don't raise the baby. I will raise him by myself." After saying that, she turned around angrily and showed him her back.

He Linzhang quickly encircled the person in his arms and held him tightly: "Alright, alright, I was just joking. My words just didn't occur to me. I'll remind you and you'll understand."

Tao Yanyan looked at him with big eyes: "Then your Majesty, who is not stupid, please tell me quickly so that the little stupid queen can hear it. What is the reminder?"

He Linzhang shook his head and laughed, then said, "Don't we have ready-made teachers in the palace?"

Tao Yanyan blinked. "Who? Don't mention your Majesty. You're so busy that you don't have time to teach Jin'an yourself."

He Linzhang shook his head. "The palace has painters who are all paid. It would be best if he could teach Jin'an. Painters have less work to do on a daily basis, except for the various grand ceremonies when they need to record paintings. We can let Jin'an learn painting after school every day, learn the basics, and then improve after getting into the art. I learned that way too. After this painter finishes teaching, we can find a good teacher for him based on his aptitude."

Tao Yanyan was delighted and gave him a kiss: "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Your Majesty is indeed smart. No wonder you call me stupid."

Seeing that she was holding on to this, He Linzhang had no choice but to compromise and beg for mercy: "The Queen is not stupid at all, please stop being angry with me, it was all my fault."

After saying that, he kept rubbing against her, being very intimate.

The two of them quarreled for a while, and He Linzhang's breathing gradually became unstable. He took a deep breath and said, "This baby is born well, and we will never have another one. My life is so miserable with so little food."

After finally waiting for the twins, a boy and a girl, to be one month old, He Linzhang became single again, and his sorrow was beyond words.

Tao Yanyan, however, was determined to tease him. Her slender fingers slid from his brow to the tip of his nose, then to his lips and chin. Finally, she pinched his earlobe and breathed sweetly on his neck: "It's all because of your Majesty's inability to control himself and his lack of self-control that I got pregnant so soon."

After saying this, she kissed him gently and said, "I also feel that the days I spent with Your Majesty are short. I have also been waiting for ten months. It is so hard to endure."

With a sweet voice, seductive eyes, and a gentle and affectionate gaze, Tao Yanyan turned into a clingy kitten and rubbed against He Linzhang's arms.

He Linzhang used a lot of willpower to push her away, got up and went to the inner room to take a shower, without seeing the little queen's smirking eyes.

Xiao Jinan got a painting master as he wished. He studied very seriously, arranged his daily schedule very fully, and became more and more self-disciplined.

The eldest prince found out about this and got very angry in Yongxing Palace.

"He's a worthless, lowly person brought back from the common people, and yet the Queen is still training him like this. What does she want? I'm the eldest prince, and I haven't seen anyone hire a master specifically for me. Does she want to just leave me alone? Does she want to raise me into oblivion? She is truly despicable, despicable!"

The nanny beside him hurriedly intervened, "Prince, please calm down. Do not say anything disrespectful to the Empress. Be careful, there are ears. You no longer have your mother to protect you. Think twice before you act!"

The eldest prince kicked the stool over suddenly, his face full of ferociousness. He screamed, his blood rushed to his head, and he fainted.

The nanny was terrified and hurriedly called out, "Hurry up and call the imperial physician! The eldest prince has fainted!"

Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Xu were on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau today. Imperial Physician Liu refused to see the eldest prince, so Imperial Physician Xu had to go.

After a short diagnosis, Doctor Xu shook his head and said, "The eldest prince has excessive liver fire. This is caused by extreme anger. How can such a small child lose his temper? How do you usually take care of him?"

The nanny bowed her head and replied, "We serve in Yongxing Palace, and no one dares to speak loudly, for fear of angering the eldest prince. Alas, since the passing of the queen, the eldest prince has become increasingly moody, getting angry at the slightest thing. We servants dare not provoke him."

Doctor Xu shook his head. "With such a strong temper, he can't continue to be so irritable. Let me prescribe two doses of calming medicine. You should brew them daily and give them to the eldest prince. You should also try to persuade him more often and be more cheerful. Don't get angry or upset so easily. If this continues for a long time, he will become ill."

After Doctor Xu finished speaking, he went downstairs to write a prescription. The nanny looked at the eldest prince lying on the bed with his eyes closed and slept soundly, then she sighed and went out. She asked a little palace maid to go to Changchun Palace to report to the empress dowager. As for the empress dowager, the nanny did not send anyone to report, because even if she reported it, the empress would not care. The empress dowager seemed to have always been very distant from the eldest prince.

However, who the Queen treats with affection or distance is not something she, a nanny, can control. She only hopes that the eldest prince can live in peace and grow up well until he is twelve years old, so that he can leave the palace and set up his own home.

By that time, if the eldest prince is willing, he can take those who serve him out of the palace directly. Outside the palace, in his own residence, the eldest prince can make his own decisions on everything, and maybe his bad temper will improve.

But there are still three years left. Three years is neither long nor short, and I don’t know if I can hold on.

Enduring the days is indeed torturous. The Wang brothers endured for several days, and what was coming finally came.

When the two brothers discovered a rash on their private parts, they were terrified. They disguised themselves and quickly went to a clinic. The diagnosis was like a bolt from the blue.

"Brother, what should we do? Dad will definitely scold us to death!" Both of them were diagnosed with syphilis, which is incurable throughout their lives and can only be maintained by taking medicine.

Wang Yin's face was filled with frustration, and he was unresponsive like a walking corpse.

After a long while, he finally said angrily: "Why can't others get it, while we brothers are so unlucky? No, I won't accept it! Since I can't get it well, then no one can get it well either."

After saying this, he whispered a few words in Wang Xian's ear. Wang Xian's face turned pale: "Brother, if we are sick, we can just take medicine to treat it, but if we retaliate against these people as you said, if the truth comes out, our Wang family will be wiped out by His Majesty!"
