Harem Daily Life

Ning Yuanhou had never expected that the person in front of him was actually the culprit who took his sister away that year - the former Demon Lord of the Demon Cult.

Although she was in her fifties, she looked younger and her demeanor was first-rate. He finally understood why his niece was so beautiful. It turned out that she had perfectly inherited all the qualities of the man in front of him and his sister.

However, no matter how outstanding his appearance is, it cannot cover up the harm he caused to the Gu family back then.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to come to my door? If it weren't for the Nether Grass, I wouldn't see you!" Ning Yuanhou didn't give Mu Yu a good look, but Mu Yu didn't get angry. Who made him do things in a dishonest way back then?

Thinking that His Majesty was waiting for the Nether Grass to cure his illness, Marquis Ningyuan did not dare to delay and directly took Mu Yu into the palace.

Tao Yanyan had finished dinner in Changle Palace. When he heard that Ningyuan Hou had arrived with people from Penglai Island, he hurried to Qinzheng Palace.

Seeing that the person who delivered the herbs was actually the original owner's biological father, she was shocked for a moment before saying, "Are you... okay?"

Mu Yu was very excited when he saw his beloved daughter. He looked her up and down before saying with a smile, "Okay, okay, thanks to the Queen Mother and General Gu. It's been a few years since we last met. Jiaojiao, I hope you...I hope the Queen is doing well!"

"Hmph!" Ning Yuanhou said coldly, "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Let's quickly deliver the Nether Grass to His Majesty!"

Ning Yuanhou was so angry when he saw Mu Yu and Tao Yanyan chatting that he wanted to stand in the middle to separate them.

Tao Yanyan was in a bit of a dilemma. She had no way to contact His Majesty at the moment, so she had to take people to Changchun Palace again to see if the Queen Mother had any solution.

The Queen Mother was digesting her food in the courtyard. When she heard that Island Master Mu had arrived, she was stunned: "Who did you say is coming?"

Eunuch Qin coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived with the Ningyuan Marquis and the island master Mu from Penglai Island. They said they are here to give you the Nether Grass."

The empress dowager quickly sent someone to pass the message, and then quickly checked her clothes. After finding nothing wrong, she returned to the main hall to receive the guests.

Several people paid their respects to the Queen Mother. Mu Yu looked up at her with an unclear look in his eyes.

"Empress Dowager, my father...Master Mu of the Island sent the Nether Grass to the capital, but I cannot contact Your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty, think of a way to send the herbs as soon as possible." Tao Yanyan said anxiously.

Mu Yu is Tao Yanyan's biological father, but in order to prevent the court officials from knowing that the current queen's biological father is the Demon Lord of the Demon Cult, her relationship with Mu Yu was not made public. Except for those close to her, the court officials were unaware of it.

The Queen Mother glanced at Mu Yu and said, "Thank you, Master Mu, for sending the herbs all the way to the capital. Please contact His Majesty... I'll give it a try." The Queen Mother glanced at Eunuch Qin, who hurried down to work. They had contacted him several times before, but His Majesty refused to meet or tell them where he lived. She only hoped that His Majesty would not avoid him this time. After all, no one could predict what the consequences would be after taking the herbs. At the critical moment, the Queen Mother and the Queen still had to be with His Majesty.

Several people stayed in Changchun Palace waiting for news. After waiting for a long time, Mu Yu's stomach began to growl.

He looked a little ashamed. He had been on a bumpy journey and had not eaten properly. After arriving in Beijing, he went to the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion first. The Ningyuan Marquis did not like him and naturally did not arrange dinner for him. After entering the palace, he missed the meal time. He could not bear the hunger and his stomach was on strike.

Tao Yanyan was sitting next to Mu Yu, so she naturally heard the voice. She glanced at Mu Yu's face and immediately said, "I don't eat much for dinner, so why not ask the kitchen to make some midnight snacks for everyone to eat together."

The Queen Mother swallowed, nodded, and told the imperial chef to do it.

Mu Yu looked at his daughter with satisfaction, his eyes full of smiles.

All of this was seen by Ning Yuanhou. He snorted and turned his head away. He felt that Mu Yu was even more annoying. He actually dared to act like a loving father and a filial daughter in front of him, his uncle!

Ning Yuanhou suddenly felt a little jealous.

The atmosphere was really awkward - Ningyuan Hou ignored Mu Yu, and Mu Yu glanced at the Queen Mother from time to time, which made the Queen Mother very uncomfortable. The Queen Mother had to show the demeanor of a queen mother and had to sit upright and serious. As a junior, Tao Yanyan didn't know what to say in front of the three elders to ease the atmosphere at this time, so she had to lower her head silently and pretend to be thinking about something.

Fortunately, the midnight snack was prepared quickly, and soon the palace maid invited the four people to the restaurant for dinner.

The Queen Mother was the first to stand up: "Please move over, so you can have a taste of my kitchen's cooking."

The kitchen made refreshing and delicious wontons, each one was round and plump, making people's mouths water.

After sitting down, Mu Yu didn't hesitate to eat. Ning Yuanhou couldn't stand his starving appearance and rolled his eyes at him.

Tao Yanyan actually had no appetite at all. Looking at the eight wontons in the bowl, he said, "This big bowl is too much. Why don't you, Island Master Mu, help me eat two?"

Mu Yu's mouth was grinning almost to his ears, and he very willingly scooped two wontons from Tao Yanyan's bowl.

"Hmph!" Ning Yuanhou was furious. "I didn't eat much for dinner tonight. This bowl is not enough."

Just as the maid was about to serve Ningyuan Hou some food, she saw him take Empress Tao's bowl and take two wontons from it.

Tao Yanyan: “…”

You want to fight for everything? I've been feeling awkward a few times tonight!

Queen Mother: "..."

Ningyuan Hou, why don't you try being more childish? They're father and daughter, they haven't seen each other for years, and their love is so deep, why are you jealous?

Mu Yu saw the Queen Mother's indescribable expression. After thinking for a moment, he stood up slightly and scooped two wontons from the Queen Mother's bowl.

Ning Yuanhou: "..."

Are you still excited? Do you think you can touch the Queen Mother's wontons?

But you touched the Queen Mother's wontons, I dare not touch them. I am so angry, I lost to him in the wonton game!

Tao Yanyan: “…”

This dad really doesn't consider himself an outsider. That's the Queen Mother's food! The Queen Mother is the most protective of her food!

The two looked at Mu Yu in shock. Mu Yu coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not advisable to eat too much at night. Six wontons are enough. Eating too much will make you sleep poorly."

Queen Mother: "..."

"What? Did I remember it wrong? Your Majesty, you ate a maximum of six wontons in one meal on Penglai Island."

The Queen Mother's expression was a little unsettling. "Who asked you to explain? Who asked you to care how many wontons I ate? You act like you know me so well!"

Tao Yanyan felt that the atmosphere now was more subtle than when the four of them were sitting in silence just now. She suddenly remembered something Gu Yi had mentioned to her earlier. It was said that when Mu Yu was injured, the Queen Mother personally took care of him. The Queen Mother also went fishing with Mu Yu, and the two of them got along very well.

Tao Yanyan looked at Mu Yu, then at the Queen Mother, and squinted her eyes—wow, she seemed to have bumped into something...
