Harem Daily Life

When Eunuch Qin ordered people to bring in the gifts, Tao Yanyan was stunned.

"Your Majesty, when the Queen Mother learned that Concubine Shu was punished, she thought it must be because Concubine Shu was ignorant and offended the Queen, so she asked me to select some gifts and send them to you to calm your nerves."

Tao Yanyan coughed lightly and said, "The Queen Mother is so kind. Please thank her for the reward on my behalf when you return."

After saying that, he asked Mingyue to accept it and send it to the warehouse for registration.

When Eunuch Qin saw that His Majesty was there and that Doctor Liu was also outside, he became a little worried about the Queen's pregnancy, so he asked about it. When he learned that the Queen had a miscarriage, Eunuch Qin became very worried.

Tao Yanyan hurriedly advised him to be at ease, fearing that he would exaggerate the matter when he returned and cause the Queen Mother to come to visit. Then how long would she have to pretend?

"I'm fine, so the Empress Dowager doesn't need to worry about me. By the way, the twins are learning to walk in the yard. If you're worried about them, go and see them. Qingfeng, quickly lead the way." Eunuch Qin was sent away, and happily followed Qingfeng to see the twins.

He Linzhang still looked very unhappy and said, "The Queen Mother had been refusing to let her return to the palace. It seems that this was a wise move. It's all my fault that I was soft-hearted and agreed to my uncle's request to release her, which caused trouble."

Tao Yanyan suppressed the expression in her eyes and said, "Before, my position was low, and I was often provoked by her. At that time, I followed the mentality of less trouble is worse than more, and tried my best to tolerate it. Today, I was really angry and asked someone to slap her in the face. Your Majesty does not blame me for punishing her, so I feel at ease. I am also about to give birth, so I will be thankful if she behaves herself for the time being."

He Linzhang nodded: "Don't worry, I'll let her reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. She won't be allowed to leave Yongning Palace for the rest of your life."

Shu Cairen was stopped outside the Changle Palace and refused entry. As soon as He Linzhang emerged, she hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, you saw it too. I came here with good intentions to see you, but these dog slaves wouldn't let me in. This must have been the Empress's order, deliberately trying to embarrass me."

He Linzhang's face darkened. "I had them stop you from going in and disturbing the Queen. From today on, you will confine yourself to Yongning Palace and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to come out unless summoned."

Shu Cairen was stunned. Wasn't this a disguised form of imprisonment? She had just been detained in the temporary palace and now she was imprisoned in Yongning Palace?

She glanced inside Changle Palace and said angrily, "Is this what the Queen meant? She is so intolerant. I was just asking her not to monopolize Your Majesty."

He Linzhang frowned deeply. "You're mistaken. It's not that the Empress is occupying me, it's that I can't leave the Empress. Come, send Concubine Shu back. Without my summons, you are not allowed to step out of Yongning Palace."

Eunuch Zhang came forward with two palace maids and said, "Lady Shu, let's go. I will take you back."

Shu Cairen felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She looked at the emperor in disbelief, her eyes so unfamiliar.

Fortunately, she still had some sense and did not argue with the emperor in public. She was taken away by Eunuch Zhang like a walking corpse.

He Linzhang was worried about Tao Yanyan, so he did not return to the Qinzheng Palace. Instead, he asked someone to move all the memorials over and worked in the Changle Palace.

"Your Majesty, please stop hanging around me. Why don't you go and see the two children? They are learning to walk and it's so fun."

He Linzhang asked Qingfeng to take good care of it, and then went to the yard.

"Huh, I finally managed to fool them." Tao Yanyan stretched lazily. She was tired from acting.

Qingfeng rubbed her shoulders and legs. "Fortunately, the result is good. This Shu Cairen won't be able to cause trouble in the next few months. Your Majesty can rest assured."

In the courtyard at the back of Changle Palace, two little kids were walking and crawling, while a group of people were playing around them.

Eunuch Qin took care of the baby himself. Although he was old, his reaction was still very quick. When Yunuo was about to fall, he stepped forward and supported her, which made Yunuo laugh out loud. She couldn't help but pretend to fall to scare Eunuch Qin. Eunuch Qin always cooperated, and the two of them had a lot of fun.

Yu Cheng seemed to walk more steadily than Yunuo, his short legs were stronger, and every step he took was steady. If others wanted to help him, he would look down on them.

"Wrinkle, wrinkle, sometimes." Yu Cheng spoke in a baby voice. Although he was young, he could not be refuted.

He Linzhang came over and stood aside, looking at Yu Cheng with amusement. The little guy seemed to have sensed something and turned slightly to look behind him. When he saw that it was his father, he showed a few little teeth: "Father--" Before he finished speaking, he lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

Feeling the pain in his butt, Yu Cheng pouted and said, "Woo-wah--"

The people around him rushed to help, but were all slapped away by Yu Cheng's small, fleshy hands. It was obvious that he didn't want them to help him.

He Linzhang stepped forward with amusement and stretched out his hand: "Come, let father see, are you hurt?"

Yu Cheng raised his big round face and cried for a few times, then stretched out his little fleshy hand and handed it to his father, and was picked up by He Linzhang.

"My butt hurts." The little girl acted coquettishly in a baby voice. He Linzhang hurriedly hugged her and comforted her, his heart softened.

Yunuo walked over with his short legs and hugged He Linzhang's thighs: "Hug me."

Since the youngest daughter came to compete for favor, He Linzhang had no choice but to pick up Yunuo as well.

The two little guys each occupied one of the emperor's arms and began to push each other in his arms, trying to push the other down.

"Alright, alright, you're twins, you should love each other, okay? Stop fighting, go wash your hands, and get ready for dinner."

He Linzhang personally carried them to wash their hands. Eunuch Qin was also invited to stay for dinner, and naturally he happily did not refuse.

Ever since several chefs in Changchun Palace were trained by Caiyun, Eunuch Qin hasn't eaten the food from Changle Palace for a long time. He must try it today.

In Changchun Palace, the Queen Mother waited and waited but Eunuch Qin did not come back, and she was speechless.

"What's going on? You're not coming back, right?" I vaguely felt that Eunuch Qin was a little too happy to leave.

"Hmph, he must have been so fascinated by how cute the twins are that he didn't want to come back." The Queen Mother felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have gone there in person and spent some time with the twins.

It was not until half an hour after dinner was cleared away that Eunuch Qin returned satisfied. Seeing that the empress dowager looked unwell, he felt a pang in his heart and quickly told her that Empress Tao had a miscarriage.

The Queen Mother asked worriedly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that everything was fine.

"Did you have dinner? What did you eat?"

Eunuch Qin was stunned and finally understood why the Queen Mother's face turned dark - it turned out that she was jealous of him having a meal in Changle Palace?

"Hehehe, these are the dishes we often eat, hehe." Eunuch Qin wanted to fool him, but unexpectedly the Queen Mother pressed him and asked him to tell the names of the dishes.

Eunuch Qin: “…”

"Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, boiled pork slices, three fresh delicacies, shrimp in broth, chicken with belly..." He swallowed his saliva while talking, he still hadn't eaten enough...

The Queen Mother was furious and said slowly, "Didn't you think of bringing some for me?"

Eunuch Qin: “…” Is it too late for me to go back and get it now?
