Harem Daily Life

He Linzhang approached gently, his breath spraying on Tao Yanyan's neck, and wherever he touched, the skin turned a hint of pink.

He Linzhang loved to see her hair like a waterfall, her shy look. He couldn't help but gently and slowly place kisses on Tao Yanyan's cheeks, ears, and forehead. It seemed random, but it was filled with incomparable cherishment.

Tao Yanyan was also a normal woman. They hadn't been this close for over six months, so how could she resist his teasing? However, she still had a trace of rationality in her trance and reached out to cover his lips.

"Your Majesty, please don't try to fool me. I can't get over this. Your Majesty, please stay away from me. I'm still angry."

He Linzhang looked at her with an aggrieved expression, his voice hoarse: "I'm afraid I can't stay away..." After that, he pulled her little hand away and kissed it.

The next day was the day scheduled for a court session every three days. The emperor had returned to the palace, so naturally he attended the court himself. However, Eunuch Zhang waited outside the Queen's bedroom for a long time, but he didn't hear anyone calling him in.

Mingyue stood beside Eunuch Zhang and bit her lip. "Fortunately, Eunuch had the foresight to send someone to announce that there would be no court today. Otherwise, the adults would have had to wait a long time."

Eunuch Zhang was calm and composed. He waited for a while before saying, "Well, let's stop standing here like gatekeepers. Go prepare lunch. If you get hungry later, we need to bring it in quickly."

Mingyue agreed and went to the small kitchen with a red face.

Eunuch Zhang simply brought a stool over and stood guard at the door himself to prevent anyone from disturbing the emperor and empress's interest.

He Linzhang had actually woken up a long time ago, but he was too attached to the person in his arms to get up. He held Tao Yanyan tighter and tighter, as if she would disappear if he let go. Looking at her eyebrows, He Linzhang felt very satisfied.

Tao Yanyan was woken up by hunger. She was a little angry yesterday and didn't eat much for dinner. Then, His Majesty pestered her so much that she was already too hungry to have any strength left.

Tao Yanyan moved in He Linzhang's arms, slowly opened his eyes, met He Linzhang's fiery gaze, and his face suddenly turned red to his ears.

"Your Majesty, it's already noon." She scolded softly, "You have to attend the morning court today."

She never thought that the "king not attending court early" would happen to her one day.

He Linzhang smiled and said, "I'm still in the recovery period recently and need to rest. I'm staying here with you today and don't want to go anywhere."

Tao Yanyan was helpless. Just as he was about to say something, his stomach growled at an inopportune moment. They were both stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

He Linzhang scratched her nose gently and said, "It seems you are very hungry. I will ask someone to bring in lunch right away." After that, he raised his voice and called Eunuch Zhang.

Soon, steaming hot meals were brought in and filled the table. He Linzhang helped Tao Yanyan up, dressed her, and then went to the inner room to wash up.

Because of the immense physical exertion last night, Tao Yanyan devoured his meal like a whirlwind. He Linzhang personally picked up some food for Tao Yanyan and said gently, "Eat more. Don't starve." Tao Yanyan's cheeks puffed up like a hamster's as he nodded as he ate.

"Lunch is over, Your Majesty, isn't going to the Qinzheng Hall?" Tao Yanyan wanted to send everyone away and then have a good nap to catch up on his sleep.

He Linzhang picked her up and went straight to the couch: "I will accompany you to take a nap. I was also very tired last night."

Tao Yanyan was speechless and choked. He thought, "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat again. Is this raising pigs?"

"Your Majesty~ It's broad daylight~" Tao Yanyan grabbed her clothes, her voice trembling: "Besides, I'm tired~" She didn't expect that a man who hadn't had sex for so long would have such good physical strength. She seriously suspected that the medicinal properties of the Nether Grass were too powerful. Not only did it detoxify, but it also made people rejuvenated?

He Linzhang said helplessly: "Who made Yan Yan so beautiful?"

When Tao Yanyan woke up again, it was already night.

He Linzhang was not by her side. She scratched her hair and despised her own resistance.

Qingfeng and Mingyue heard the sound and hurried in to help her change her clothes. When they saw the purple marks on the queen's body, they both turned their eyes away in tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty, the chicken soup stewed for you has been served. The princess and the princes have been coaxed to sleep. I will massage your waist and legs later." Qingfeng whispered, suppressing a smile.

Tao Yanyan was even more crazy. She hadn't seen her children for such a long time!

In the imperial study, He Linzhang was reading through the memorials submitted today. After reviewing the last one, he stretched himself and felt refreshed and full of energy.

"Ask the imperial physician to prescribe some nourishing plasters for the Queen. She has worked hard for me these days and needs to be well nourished." He Linzhang ordered.

When He Linzhang thought of the little queen's soft, weak, and easily bullied appearance, he smiled knowingly: "Open my private vault and give her all the best jewelry."

Seeing the emperor's delight, eunuch Zhang was also delighted. He quickly sent someone to notify the Imperial Hospital, while he himself opened the emperor's private vault, found all the most precious jewelry, put them into a box, and personally delivered it to Changle Palace.

Tao Yanyan looked at the big box of jewelry. This one was exquisite, and that one was luxurious. He thought it would be a lie to say that he didn't like it.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Eunuch Zhang, please thank Your Majesty for me when you return."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Linzhang strode in from outside: "What does the Queen want to thank me for?"

As they got closer, He Linzhang took Tao Yanyan's hand and said, "If you want to thank me, tell me in person."

Tao Yanyan glared at him angrily, "Thank you very much for your gift, Your Majesty. I like all of these jewels. Is this all right?"

He Linzhang touched her head and said, "As long as you like it." Then he stretched out his hands to her waist and kneaded it gently.

He Linzhang knew very well how cruel he had been last night and today. The little queen, such a delicate beauty, had indeed suffered.

Seeing that his job was snatched away by His Majesty, Qingfeng had no choice but to carry the jewelry box out the door with a smile on his face.

In Yongtai Palace, Concubine Xian listened to the report from her subordinates that His Majesty had gone to Changle Palace last night and did not come out until this evening. She couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what time it is, His Majesty only cares about the Empress."

Eunuch Feng, the head eunuch in charge of her palace, said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to belittle yourself. Your current position in the harem is second only to the emperor. This real power is much more reliable than favor!"

The virtuous concubine smiled. Compared with love, people are more attracted to power that can bring real benefits.

"I am open-minded, but I am afraid that some fools in the palace will not be able to open up and will go to the Queen to make trouble, causing unrest in the harem."

Eunuch Feng said calmly, "Others may have the heart but not the courage. Just keep an eye on Concubine Shu."
