Harem Daily Life

Tao Yanyan's heart skipped a beat, and she really wanted to say, in fact, the me in front of you now is not myself, and the original owner who entered the palace as a concubine has long left you.

"Your Majesty, please don't overthink it. I am in good health now. The imperial physician comes to check my pulse regularly. I live a prosperous life and have no worries. I will not die so early."

He Linzhang quickly grabbed her hand and touched the wooden table: "Don't talk about death all the time, touch the wood."

Tao Yan looked at him speechlessly, thinking that it was a bit too funny for a king of a country to believe in ghosts and gods.

Chen Haiting, the new prefect of Yuecheng, handled Wang's matter quite well, but he blocked the Wang family's request for the remaining property of Wang.

Wang also had a house, several shops, and more than 40,000 taels of silver in her name, all of which were temporarily seized by the Yuecheng prefect, who then wrote a letter back to Beijing asking the empress for instructions.

Because they failed to inherit the estate smoothly, the Wang family made a lot of noise. Wang's parents, who had not even visited Wang for the last time, went to Yuecheng to fight for the inheritance.

It’s a pity that several people from the Wang family went there, but Chen Haiting did not compromise and was waiting for the queen’s reply.

After reading the letter Chang Tai had sent, Tao Yanyan said, "Since Wang Shi had secretly abandoned the Wang family and fled the capital with her wealth, it's clear that she wasn't willing to share her wealth with them. When Yue'er visited her earlier, she also intended to give her sister tens of thousands of taels of silver. This Wang family is so greedy, they've been sucking their daughter's blood, even after she died. How despicable."

She thought for a moment and said, "According to the inheritance law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a woman's inheritance is first in line to her children, followed by her husband, and then her parents and brothers. So no matter what, Yue'er and Min'er are the first in line to inherit. Write a letter to Chen Haiting and tell him to judge according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What should be awarded to the Wang family should be given to them. They gave birth to and raised the Wang family, and the Wang family doesn't owe them anything. As for the two princesses' inheritance, there is no need to send it to the capital. Instead, donate and build an academy in Yuecheng, name it Yuemin Academy, and have Chen Haiting assign someone to manage it well."

Chang Tai agreed and hurried down to reply.

Mingyue stepped forward and refilled Tao Yanyan's cup of tea. "Your Majesty, you're so generous that you just lavishly spend tens of thousands of taels of silver on setting up a school."

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "Yu'er obviously doesn't want it. It would be more meaningful to let the silver play its greatest role."

Mingyue nodded. "Don't be fooled by the soft appearance of the Second Princess. She is actually decisive and straightforward. I wonder what kind of a consort she will find in the future. I feel that there is no man in the world who is worthy of the young master."

Tao Yanyan looked at her amusedly and jokingly said, "Mingyue, you're twenty-four this year, right? Your words remind me that it's time to think carefully about your future."

When Mingyue heard this, her face turned red and she stamped her feet: "Oh, Your Majesty, why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Mingyue went out with a red face and bumped into Qingfeng who was coming in.

"Mingyue, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Qingfeng didn't understand and brought some snacks to Tao Yanyan's desk.

Tao Yanyan looked at Qingfeng and asked doubtfully, "Qingfeng, you're almost 24, right? I know Mingyue has someone in her heart. What about you? Do you have someone you like?"

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment before he realized that Mingyue went out with a red face. It turned out that she was being teased by the Empress.

Qingfeng pouted: "Your Highness, you are making fun of me again. I have already said that I will stay in the palace to serve you and never marry."

Tao Yanyan waved his hand: "How can I keep you all captive? You should also have your own lives. You can't live your whole life for me."

After she finished speaking, she simply asked Qingfeng to find several senior palace maids. Anyway, she was free now and didn't need to take care of the government affairs, so she decided to arrange the important life events of these senior palace maids.

Xianglan and the others came very quickly, and they thought that the Queen Mother had some instructions. Unexpectedly, she wanted to ask them if they had someone they liked. The Queen Mother wanted to be a matchmaker!

"Well, Mingyue is the oldest, she's twenty-four. Qingfeng will be twenty-four in a few months. Xianglan, you're twenty-three. Caiyun and Hongxia are both twenty-two. You've all been with me for many years." She glanced at Shuang'er and said, "Shuang'er is a little younger, only eighteen. She'll stay with me for a few more years. All of you, except Mingyue, tell me what kind of husband you want. Let's start with Qingfeng."

Qingfeng's face flushed red when she was called out, and the other girls all looked at her secretly, each of them extremely shy.

Qing Feng said angrily, "I will not marry, and I don't have anyone I love. That's why I don't want to leave you, my lady."

Mingyue bit her lip, looked at Qingfeng, and then looked at the Queen: "This servant does not want to get married either. I want to stay by your side and serve you."

Tao Yanyan said, "That won't do. Your Yingyi has even bought a house for the wedding. I can't delay you."

Mingyue's face turned red and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

"If Qingfeng doesn't have anyone he likes, then I'll ask General Gu to help you find someone in the military camp. I'll find you a man of integrity, a man of steel, a man who doesn't mind small matters, and a man of good character."

Qingfeng blushed and was too embarrassed to look at the queen.

"Xianglan, you have a soft personality. It would be nice if you could find a weak private tutor." As soon as Tao Yanyan finished speaking, Xianglan became anxious: "Your Majesty, I was seriously injured and cannot do physical work. Please let me serve in the palace."

Caiyun burst out laughing: "My Lady, Xianglan doesn't like private school teachers. She likes to study medicine."

Tao Yanyan's eyes widened instantly when these words came out: "Oh? Xianglan has a crush on someone? Tell me who it is?"

Xianglan was so anxious that she jumped up and down, and hurried to stop Caiyun from speaking: "Who told you to tell the queen? If you tell others, then I will tell others about your thoughts too!"

Tao Yanyan raised his eyebrows. It turned out that every little girl had something going on!

"Okay, okay, explain one by one. If you can't explain clearly, you won't get your salary this month." Tao Yanyan threatened them.

The Queen's seriousness was indeed quite intimidating. Hongxia spoke first, "Your Majesty, Xianglan likes Doctor Dong who works for Imperial Physician Liu, and Caiyun likes Chef Fan from the Sihai Restaurant."

Xianglan: "..."

Caiyun: “…”

The fighting hands stopped and their faces were filled with shyness.

"Hongxia likes Li Tang from the imperial farm. Every time she goes to inspect the farm, Hongxia asks him how to grow more crops." Qingfeng also exposed Hongxia.

"Oh, Sister Qingfeng! I won't pay attention to you!" Hongxia was so embarrassed that she quickly hid behind Mingyue: "Sister Qingfeng, you even accepted Yinger's clothing material."

Qingfeng: "..."

Tao Yanyan: “…”

"Ying Er? Qingfeng, when did you become related to Ying Er?" Tao Yanyan looked at Qingfeng, then at Mingyue, thinking that you two are really good sisters. You even chose someone from the same organization as your husband.

Qingfeng stamped his feet: "I obviously didn't want to accept it, but he forced it on me..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was like the buzz of a mosquito, but his face became redder and redder.

"You even made new shoes for him without even measuring his size, yet they still fit him perfectly." Shuang'er said leisurely.

Qing Feng glared at Shuang Er: "How dare you say that to me? Yin Jiu came to you to learn martial arts, but you took advantage of your day off to go out of the palace and have some fun."

Shuang'er: "..."

Tao Yanyan: “…”

Tao Yanyan turned his head to look at Shuang'er: "Yin Jiu? Don't you always have cold faces when you meet, and often fight over a disagreement?" What kind of CP are they? Tao Yanyan didn't understand.

Shuang'er blushed for a rare moment: "I, I, I, I, I, I, I wasn't going there to play, I really was going there to challenge him to a duel." After saying that, she lowered her head and ran away, disappearing in an instant.

Tao Yanyan: “…”

There's no need to rush. You're still young, so it won't hurt to play for a few more years.
