Harem Daily Life

Tao Yanyan was always unhappy because Jiang Yingying left without saying goodbye.

She couldn't understand why Jiang Yingying, who was considered a free and easy-going woman of the world, got so stuck in a dead end that she gave up her future husband and a great marriage just because she might not be able to have children.

Mingyue noticed that her own wife had been sitting by the window these past few days, frowning and dazed because of Miss Jiang's situation. She stepped forward and advised, "General Qi is the only son of the Qi family. He has six older sisters. I guess Miss Jiang gave up because she was worried about not being able to leave an heir for the Qi family. Speaking of which, she is a person of love and loyalty."

Tao Yanyan sighed, "Princess Yong always blames herself for not being able to have children. She also wants women around Prince Yong because she wants a child. Jiang Yingying... well, you go and take care of the writing. I'll write two letters and send them out. I'll ask Dong Fang and Brother Xingchuan to help find someone. When this silly girl is found, I'll definitely brainwash her."

Jiang Yingying's willingness to accompany Qi Yizheng on this adventure shows that she truly has feelings for him. If they truly don't have children, they could adopt one; there's no need to give up on this relationship. Furthermore, without advanced medical equipment, relying solely on the pulse of an imperial physician could lead to misdiagnosis.

Who knows if another miracle will happen if we take good care of ourselves in the future?

Tao Yanyan was thinking while writing the letter. He also drew two portraits of Jiang Yingying and sent them out together with the letter.

Qi Yizheng was depressed for three months before he slowly recovered from Jiang Yingying's departure. However, he became much colder and had an aura that kept strangers away.

At the end of May, General Duan led the army that had attacked Yan back to the capital. He Linzhang rewarded them according to their merits and appointed Gu Yi as the first-class marquis of Zhenguo, General Duan as the first-class marquis of Jichuan, Qi Yizheng as the general of Wuwei, and the deputy generals under him were also promoted one level and rewarded with a large amount of money and property.

The Ningyuan Marquisate had two marquises in one family, and was extremely popular.

At the celebration banquet, everyone tried to curry favor with Gu Yi, who was a young and promising marquis, the Empress's cousin, and the son-in-law of Prince Changping!

However, Gu Yi didn't dare to drink too much because his daughter was still young. He had to look after her when he got home at night, for fear that the smell of alcohol would offend the child.

Seeing that Gu Yi's thoughts had returned to his family after he had a daughter, Tao Yanyan was happy for him. But when she saw Qi Yizheng drinking alone, she felt a little sorry for him.

He Linzhang also noticed that something was wrong with Qi Yizheng and gave a wink to Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang understood and found two strong eunuchs to help Qi Yizheng down and fed him a large bowl of sobering soup.

Qi Yizheng was not interested in anything now. He let Eunuch Zhang manipulate him. He was too lazy to go back to the banquet to continue drinking, so he rested for a while in the side hall.

Seeing that he was very quiet, Eunuch Zhang took his people back to the banquet to serve the emperor, leaving him alone in the side hall.

While half asleep, Qi Yizheng felt a figure groping beside him. He opened his eyes and saw that it was a woman.

He was still a little drunk at this time and couldn't see clearly who the person was, but he instinctively felt that he couldn't let this woman touch him, so he pushed her hard and knocked her to the ground.

The loud noise attracted a young eunuch passing by outside. When he saw the woman in disheveled clothes and then looked at General Qi lying drunk and asleep on the couch, he did not dare to be careless and immediately wanted to help the woman out.

But the woman cried and insisted that Qi Yizheng was trying to do something inappropriate to her, and she insisted that the eunuch go and invite the queen to come and seek justice for her.

The young eunuch knew that General Qi was a favorite of His Majesty, so he did not dare to act on his own at the moment. He comforted the woman and immediately went to invite the Queen.

When Mingyue heard this, she frowned and whispered a few words in Tao Yanyan's ear.

Tao Yanyan glanced around the scene. There were several families who brought their daughters into the palace today, but the cousin brought by Concubine Xian's family was not present.

Tao Yanyan's eyes darkened. Speaking of which, this virtuous concubine's cousin had once been intended to be betrothed to her cousin Gu Cheng from the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

It was only after Cousin Gu decided to marry into the Xie family that the virtuous concubine's family gave up.

Today's banquet is a welcoming banquet for the triumphant generals. The virtuous concubine deliberately arranged for her cousin to attend the banquet, which clearly shows that she wants to choose a suitable son-in-law from among the generals. Tao Yanyan knows her plan, but he will not deliberately care about it.

The virtuous concubine took care of the affairs of the harem for her. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It is reasonable to let her get some convenience occasionally.

However, if the virtuous concubine's cousin set her sights on Qi Yizheng, Tao Yanyan would not sit idly by.

She found an excuse and took Qingfeng and Mingyue to the side hall.

The young eunuch was smart enough to ask another young eunuch to guard the scene so that there would be no witnesses.

When Tao Yanyan and his men arrived, Qi Yizheng was already sitting on the couch with his head in his hands, looking at the crying woman with a confused look on his face.

When Qi Yizheng saw Queen Tao coming in person, he cried out that he was wronged as if he had seen a savior.

"Please understand, Your Majesty. I was a little drunk, so I rested in a side hall to sober up. In my dream, I felt someone approaching, and I pushed them to the ground. I really don't know where this woman came from, let alone who she is, and I have never done anything inappropriate to her. But now she is relying on me. Please, Your Majesty, help me."

Qi Yizheng's thoughts were clear and his words were precise. Tao Yanyan knew he was probably mostly sober. She glared at him and said, "Although you're happy about the reward, you can't get drunk like this. I'll see if you dare to drink more in the future."

Qi Yizheng touched his nose and thought, I'm just drinking to drown my sorrows. Gu Yi already has a daughter, and His Majesty is even more powerful, with a son and a daughter. I'm the only lonely man, and even my wife ran away. What else can I drink if not some wine?

However, he didn't dare say this to Queen Tao, as he was still counting on Queen Tao to help him deal with the woman in front of him.

Tao Yanyan sat down, looked around at the crying woman, and said coldly: "Why is Miss Wang here?"

A flicker of fear crossed Miss Wang's face, but she was determined to hold General Qi accountable today. She cried, "I drank two glasses of wine at the banquet and felt a bit drunk, so I came to rest in this side hall. I didn't expect General Qi to see me and drag me to the couch without a word. My...my reputation has been damaged. Please, Queen, help me!"

"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly me who was drunk first, lying on the couch unable to move. It was you who tried to do something inappropriate to me, and my reputation was truly damaged!"

Ms. Wang: “…”

"Well, if that's what you say, I agree, and I will be responsible for you."

Miss Wang looked aggrieved, but she was very happy in her heart.

Tao Yanyan: "..."

Qi Yizheng: "..."
