Harem Daily Life

"Ahem." The dishes and chopsticks were taken away, and He Linzhang coughed twice: "His name can't be so casual, right?"

Tao Yanyan also felt that calling a boy "Xiao Huahua" would be detrimental to his gender identity, so he said, "Why don't you ask Your Majesty to give him a name?"

The emperor gave the name, let’s see who dares to look down on his younger brother in the future!

He Linzhang pondered for a moment and said, "How about calling me Jin'an? I'll give you a bright future and a stable life without worries. I'll let you take the surname Tao."

"Okay, thank you for the name, Your Majesty! Jin'an, why don't you thank Your Majesty quickly?"

Xiao Huahua finally had her own name, and she quickly said in a baby voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I like this name very much."

Eunuch Zhang came in with the imperial physician who had been waiting for a long time: "Your Majesty, Lady Tao, should we let the imperial physician take the young master's pulse first?"

Tao Yanyan naturally did not refuse, she also wanted to know about the child's physical condition.

The imperial physician gently placed his hand on Tao Jinan's, carefully felt the pulse, and examined the child's body before saying, "The young master is fine except for long-term malnutrition. The bruises on his body are not serious. Just apply some medicinal oil."

Tao Yanyan felt relieved when she heard that the child was fine.

"It's getting late, so let's go to bed early. Your Majesty, would you like to stay and sleep with us?" Tao Yanyan asked, feeling sleepy after eating.

He Linzhang looked at her with a puzzled look: "Someone, take the young master down to rest."

Qingfeng walked forward and hugged Tao Jinan.

Tao Jinan looked at Tao Yanyan with some fear. Tao Yanyan was about to say "Let's take the child to sleep together tonight" when He Linzhang said, "Jinan, come see your sister tomorrow morning. Go ahead."

Qingfeng also coaxed, "Little master, you can sleep next door. It's very close." As he said this, he carried the child out.

Tao Yanyan glared at He Linzhang, and He Linzhang pulled her into his arms and started kissing her all over.

Shu Fei and Zhao Cairen couldn't understand why Tao Yanyan brought a little beggar on board without permission, and in the end, not only was she not reprimanded by His Majesty, but His Majesty let her stay the night and even gave the little beggar a name himself!

Has Your Majesty been poisoned by the talented Tao? Do you want to favor her no matter what she does?

Of course Tao Yanyan would not tell them: He Linzhang is essentially a kind-hearted person, and he could not bear to be cruel to Xiao Jinan, who had a rough life.

Of course, Tao Yanyan also thought about her way out. At first, she thought about rescuing the person first. If the emperor did not allow her to bring the person into the palace, then she would return to the capital and buy a small courtyard outside the palace, and then find two people to take care of the child. As the emperor's favorite concubine, she should be able to afford to raise a child.

She earned a lot of money on this trip. The thank-you silver given by King Yong alone was one thousand taels, enough for her to raise her children for several years.

Now that the emperor has allowed her to keep the baby with him, things will be even easier. The emperor will even help her raise the baby. Little Jinan's fate has undergone a tremendous change from earth to heaven.

In order to thank He Linzhang for his magnanimity, Tao Yanyan dragged her aching body to the kitchen to cook a soup for He Linzhang the next day.

This was the first time that Tao Yanyan had clearly expressed his goodwill towards He Linzhang and the first time that he sent someone to invite him to have a meal with him. Naturally, He Linzhang went there happily with a joyful mood.

Looking at the table full of dishes, He Linzhang raised his eyebrows. It seemed that his little talent had picked up a little kid, but it was good for her. She could actually do housework like a little wife.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat. I don't know what you like to eat, so I made a few of my favorite dishes. Please try them and see how they taste." Tao Yanyan diligently served the dishes to He Linzhang.

"This is the first time Jinan comes to our house. This meal is also a welcoming dinner for Jinan. Jinan, please try your sister's cooking." After saying that, she picked up a chicken leg for Tao Jinan.

The soft and tender chicken legs made people drool at the sight. Tao Jinan hurriedly pinched them with his little hands and started to nibble on them in small bites, savoring each bite very carefully.

This was the best meal he had ever had since he was a child. He had never thought that he could sit at the dining table cleanly and eat a hearty lunch like a normal person.

Tao Yanyan was almost impressed by his good table manners and couldn't help but say, "It's so strange. Watching Jin'an eat, I actually felt like he was born into a wealthy family. I can't imagine that he actually begged on the street before."

He Linzhang couldn't help but take a closer look at the child. Indeed, there was an innate nobility in his every move.

"Since you said it was picked up outside the capital, I will send someone to investigate. Maybe he is a bastard from some mansion." It would be much more convenient for the emperor to investigate something than for Tao Yanyan to do it himself, so Tao Yanyan diligently peeled a few shrimps for He Linzhang.

He Linzhang had an extremely delicious meal. The cooking skills of the young talent were different from those of the imperial chef, and seemed to have more down-to-earth flavor.

The family of three was having a great time here, but Zhao Cairen was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

"Why is she always lucky? We were both doing charity on the street, but I happened to meet a liar, and she was able to get His Majesty to recognize her good deeds."

Zhao Cairen was so angry that he couldn't even eat. Looking at Xiangcao who didn't say a word, he was furious: "Are you dumb? Are you looking for a fight?"

Vanilla shuddered and inadvertently pinched her sleeve. The wound on her arm under the sleeve had not healed yet.

"Talent, you are a lady raised in a wealthy family, so naturally you don't know how dangerous the world is. That family of scammers has been cheating for many years, so it's normal that you didn't notice it at the beginning." Vanilla racked her brains to come up with these words of comfort.

"But Tao Cairen figured it out very quickly!" This made Zhao Cairen angry, as it made her look stupid and Tao Cairen seem very smart.

Vanilla sighed deeply, feeling deeply sad for her lowly fate.

Why wasn't she the one who was rescued from the sea of fire by Tao Cairen? She also wanted to leave the suffocating Zhao Cairen.

"I told you that you are not good at talking, why are you just standing there like an idiot? Why don't you say something nice to please me?"

Seeing Xiangcao standing there in a daze, Zhao Cairen started to hit her. She felt that it would hurt her hands, so she changed to a ruler. Xiangcao hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowered her head and let her vent her anger by beating and scolding her. Where she couldn't see, her eyes were full of hidden anger.

Qi Yizheng received an order to secretly investigate Tao Jinan's background. He was speechless as there was no information at all. He only knew that he was an orphan picked up in the suburbs of Beijing. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find out anything.

But he had to carry out the emperor's order, so he accepted it with gritted teeth, thinking that as time went on, the emperor and Concubine Tao would become more and more obsessed with raising the child, and might not want to find the child's biological parents anymore.

The official ship sailed on the river for another three days before arriving at the dock outside Beijing. Everyone got off the ship, got back on the carriage, and headed for the palace.

All officials had already received the news and went out of the city to welcome the emperor's return.

God knows, during the time when the emperor was away, they were deeply tortured by the empress dowager and were almost unrecognizable.
