Harem Daily Life

Qingfeng was confused and quickly reached out to help his talented person.

After Tao Yanyan slowly stood up with the help of the breeze, he was still unable to stand straight. Like a battered willow tree, his body tilted and leaned towards He Linzhang.

He Linzhang's body reacted faster than his brain. He grabbed the man and brought him into his arms. He frowned and said, "You're injured like this, yet you're still trying to show off!" There was a scolding in his tone, but more of it was heartache.

The little talent is most afraid of pain. She would whimper and moan if she was hurt a little. It would be strange if her legs didn’t hurt after being punished to kneel for so long. I wonder how aggrieved she must be!

He Linzhang looked at the person in his arms and without thinking, he lifted him up horizontally. Tao Yanyan took advantage of the situation and put her arms around his neck, exclaiming, "Oh, Your Majesty, please put me down quickly, I'm so afraid of violating the palace rules!"

When the Queen saw this scene, her dignified personality almost collapsed!

She pinched her fingers tightly to prevent herself from losing her composure in front of the emperor and the concubines.

After hearing what the young lady said, the emperor glanced at the queen and said, "Don't worry, you can't ride on the imperial sedan chair, but you can still carry her back home."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The Queen couldn't help herself and said, "Your Majesty, it's a long way from here to Cuiweixuan. Do you really want to carry her all the way back?"

The emperor did not turn around, and said calmly: "You also know that the journey is long. Concubine Tao's leg is injured. Do you want her to limp back?"

The Queen gritted her teeth and said, "You can lend her my sedan chair first!"

The queen was so angry that this was the only solution she could think of.

Anyway, she couldn't just watch the emperor carry someone back like this, otherwise, he would be the second Concubine Li!

Even more favored than Concubine Li!

When Tao Yanyan heard this, a tear fell. She moved closer to He Linzhang's neck, and her tears stuck to He Linzhang's neck, wet and cold.

"I don't dare to sit in the queen's sedan chair. Please let me down. I can walk." The voice was soft and tearful, with countless grievances and a few small sobs, which softened He Linzhang's heart.

"No need for that. Please do as you please, Queen!" After saying that, she strode out of the Fengyi Palace with Tao Yanyan in her arms without looking back, leaving all the concubines stunned.

Shu Fei took several deep breaths before walking to the Queen's side. She reached out her hand to support the shaky Queen and whispered in her ear, "You are the Queen. No matter what she does, she can't surpass you! There is still a long way to go."

The queen's face was pale and she could only avoid falling down with the help of Shu Fei.

"Has she been so favored during these few months away?" the queen asked with gritted teeth.

Shu Fei smiled helplessly: "More than that! Let's dismiss everyone first, and then I will talk to the Queen!"

The queen took a deep breath and regained her dignified demeanor. She turned to the concubines with different expressions and said, "You have your own eyes and have seen it all. I will not say anything more. You can all leave now!"

Then, she said to the nanny beside her, "Go and tell the Queen Mother that I am not feeling well today and will not come to pay my respects today. Please apologize to the Queen Mother for me."

The nanny agreed and already knew how to embellish and describe to the Empress Dowager what she had seen and heard today.

After the Imperial Concubine and the others left, they walked back with Rong Fei. Rong Fei said, "Sister Imperial Concubine, why don't you come to my palace and take a seat? Bring the princess with you and have lunch with me at noon."

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "That's good. I haven't eaten the food from your small kitchen for a long time."

"I have a jar of the best girl's red wine. We won't go home until we are drunk today." Rong Fei said.

The imperial concubine glanced at her and said, "How dare you get drunk in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that the queen will punish you to copy the palace rules?"

"Hahahaha", Rong Fei couldn't help laughing when she heard it: "I'm afraid that next time the Queen punishes someone, she must consider the consequences first."

The imperial concubine smiled calmly, "Not everyone is spoiled like that. In recent years, His Majesty has become more and more stable, and rarely shows his favor to someone in front of everyone like he did today. Even the most favored Concubine Li has never done this in front of us."

Rong Fei's smile faded a little, and she waved the fan in her hand and said, "Who hasn't been young? At the age of sixteen or seventeen, you were as delicate as a flower. Now that you have given birth to a child, your figure has changed. Your Majesty should come less often. Otherwise, it's like you've never been favored."

The imperial concubine seemed to think of her youth: "It is different after all. We were still living in the East Palace at that time, and His Majesty was still the Crown Prince. How could he care about love affairs? Now that the overall situation has been decided, he is the king of the world. Whoever he favors now will be the one who truly shows his affection."

Rong Fei sighed, "No matter how much you favor her, after two or three years when a new person comes in, won't she still be ignored? In my opinion, it's better to have a child. If Your Majesty doesn't come, you can raise a child. It's very interesting to raise a child. He grows up day by day, and every day is different. He will talk to you, eat with you, and comfort you when you are angry. He is much more considerate than Your Majesty."

The imperial concubine's eyes darkened. She only gave birth to a princess, while Rong Fei was lucky enough to give birth to a prince. Compared with Rong Fei, she still felt a little regretful.

Tao Yanyan kept whispering in the emperor's ear along the way: "Your Majesty, why don't you put me down? Your Majesty will be tired."

He Linzhang walked very steadily: "You are less than 90 kilograms, are you afraid that I can't carry you?"

Tao Yanyan had no choice but to hug him tighter: "Your Majesty, thank you for coming to save me today, otherwise, I would be either dead or disabled."

He Linzhang said unhappily, "What's the point of dying or being disabled? I won't let you suffer any injustice. This time, I was not thoughtful enough, and I didn't expect the Queen to punish you for such a thing. How about this, today I will promote you to be a beauty, a fifth-rank lady, and you are eligible to ride in a sedan chair in the palace. As for where you live..."

He Linzhang thought about it, and said to Zhang Fuhai behind him: "Go find some vacant place with a better environment, close to the Qinzheng Palace, and give it to Tao Cai for selection."

Eunuch Zhang immediately agreed: "Yes, it will be done this afternoon."

When they arrived at Cuiwei Pavilion, Tao Yanyan was carried directly into the bedroom, and He Linzhang put her down.

Tao Yanyan held his hand and said, "Your Majesty, turn around and let Yanyan rub it for you."

Although He Linzhang felt it was unnecessary and he was fine, he still turned around obediently and let the young talent rub his waist and back.

The gentle force was like a kitten scratching an itch.

After kneading for a while, Qingfeng came to say that the food was ready and invited the emperor to have a meal.

He Linzhang was also hungry, so he stayed for dinner.

Tao Yanyan was carried to the table again.

"Sister Jie, what's wrong with you?" Tao Jinan asked curiously with his eyes wide open.

"Sister is fine. She will be fine in a few days. Jin'an, please serve His Majesty a bowl of soup, and also serve sister a bowl." Tao Jin'an is not a child who just sits there and does nothing but love to do things and explore. Therefore, Tao Yanyan will give him things to do within his ability, so that he can feel involved and train his brain more.

He picked up the bowl with his small hands, carefully served the emperor a bowl of soup, and thoughtfully scooped two pieces of pork ribs into it. Then he held it in front of the emperor with both hands.

In He Linzhang's impression, such a young child would not do these things, and his three children still needed to be fed by palace maids.

"Jin'an is really great!" Tao Yanyan's praise came at the right time. Tao Jin'an's little face turned red and his eyes were curved with a smile.
