Harem Daily Life

Today is a big reunion.

Not only Tao Yanyan was there, but also the Queen Mother and the children.

Wang Xingchuan had seen twin boys and girls a few years ago, but the two children have grown up now and their appearance has changed a little. As for the remaining two little ones, this is the first time he has seen them.

He Xiaobao was a very outgoing person, and knowing that the person in front of him was his uncle, he greeted him warmly. He Xiaoliu was a little more cautious, and whenever he met a stranger, he would observe him before getting close to him.

Wang Xingchuan didn't know what the children liked, so it was difficult to prepare gifts, but he brought enough silver notes. He took out a large stack of silver notes from his pocket and gave two to each child, a total of 16,000 taels.

Tao Yanyan said with a smile: "Brother Xingchuan, your journey to the capital was paved with silver. It costs money every time you come here."

"It's so rare for the children to see their uncle, so they should be given money. Besides, the money we earn is for our family, so who else should we spend it on if not for them?"

Tao Yanyan didn't know what to say. She knew that Wang Xingchuan had never married and remained single all these years. Without a wife, he naturally had no children. She herself had both a son and a daughter, and seven children in total around her. It was not good for her to say too much in front of others.

He Yanran was also there that day. She had never dined at the same table with her father and princess before, so she felt a little reserved. He Yue, chatting and laughing, gently pulled her hand under the table and gave her a reassuring look. He Yanran lowered her eyes and smiled, and for some reason, her heart warmed.

She was very quiet at the table, listening to everyone talk and observing everyone quietly.

It turned out that when His Majesty was having meals, he would pick up dishes for Queen Tao and peel shrimps for Nuo and Xiaobao. He did not need others to serve him, but instead took care of others.

It turns out that the Queen Mother could eat without caring about her appetite. She would eat a few more bites when she saw something delicious and would never say "no more than three servings".

It turned out that some of the dishes on the table were cooked by the Empress herself, and they tasted even better than those made in the imperial kitchen. Although the presentation was not as exquisite, it exuded a strong sense of homeliness.

It turns out that the prince, Yunuo and others can talk while eating and join in the conversations with their elders. The elders will not scold them for talking too much or ask them to behave properly.

It turns out that Xiaobao and Xiaoliu can eat by themselves without being fed by a nanny. Even if they spill food all over the table, the Queen Mother will just smile and won't scold them for their bad table manners. At most, she will ask someone to wipe the table.

All the scenes overturned He Yanran's cognition. She used to get up at the hour of Mao in the palace and go to the princess at the hour of Yin to set rules, such as not being allowed to sit at the table or meet guests. All these rules were gone here. She could even go out to meet outside guests like princesses and princes.

She also held a large sum of money in her arms. This was the first time in her life that she had ever received such a large sum of silver notes, a full two thousand taels. Thinking back to her monthly allowance of five taels, she realized that all the monthly allowances she had saved in her entire life were not as much as what she had received in one day.

The person who gave her such a huge sum of money was actually the Queen's non-blood-related brother, and had no family relationship with her at all.

So, does blood relationship guarantee closeness? Does no blood relationship guarantee indifference? Does the closeness of a relationship really have anything to do with blood relationship?

Logically, everyone in Prince Yong's Mansion was her relative: her father, her stepmother, her brothers and sisters, but her relationship with them was not necessarily that close.

As for the people in front of him, Island Master Mu is Queen Tao’s adoptive father, Island Master Wang Shao is Queen Tao’s adoptive brother, Island Master Wang Shao is Island Master Mu’s adopted son, He Xuan and He Yue are Queen Tao’s adopted daughters, He Xuan and He Yue are not born to the same mother, He Jinan is Queen Tao’s adopted son brought back from the folk.

They are all unrelated people, but they get along better than family members.

He Yanran was eating, his heart was already in turmoil.

Wang Xingchuan stayed in the capital. Before going to the military camp every day, He Jinan would detour to the palace to pick up Wang Xingchuan and go to the military camp together to teach Mo Xingzhou martial arts.

"Your disciple is so proud that he even dares to ask me to teach him." Although the Demon Cult has been banned in recent years, Wang Xingchuan still has a strong aura of a demon lord, exuding the air of a superior.

He Jinan smiled and said, "Uncle, you'll know just by looking at his aptitude. He's a martial arts prodigy, but he didn't know how to practice it before, and his training was a mess. Fortunately, he became my master and was able to sort it out. However, I'm not as skilled as my uncle, so I have no choice but to ask you, an outsider, to give him some guidance."

Wang Xingchuan looked at him and said, "You two just have a simple master-disciple relationship?" Why didn't he believe it?

He Jinan smiled. Of course, he couldn't say that Mo Xingzhou had the potential to become the eldest princess's future consort. As long as there was no proposal of marriage, he couldn't ruin the eldest princess's reputation.

"Haha, firstly, I value his talent; secondly, he didn't learn for nothing, it was for Shu Xiu."

Wang Xingchuan's mouth twitched: "You are a prince, and you still care about that little salary?" He was even more unconvinced. There must be something fishy going on between these two people!

He Jinan thought to himself that Uncle Xingchuan was too fond of getting to the bottom of things, so why was it so difficult to fool him?

He gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with me, the prince? Who doesn't want to make more money? My mother said that making money is not shameful. As long as it is earned through legitimate means, making a lot or a little is a good thing. Besides, most people actually value talent. Really, hehe."

When Wang Xingchuan heard him bring up Tao Yanyan, he stopped asking questions and nodded, saying, "Alright, then I'll give him some pointers. I want to see how strong he is."

Mo Xingzhou never thought that one day he would be able to learn martial arts from the world-famous Demon Lord of the Demon Cult. His heart was so excited and his hands were shaking that he almost made mistakes in the moves that He Jinan had taught him before.

He Jinan gnashed his teeth, his face burning: "Mo Xingzhou, can you calm down a little? Don't show your fear in front of my uncle!"

Mo Xingzhou rubbed his head, looking helpless. "I didn't want to either, but who told you not to tell me before you came? At least let me be mentally prepared. This is the Demon Lord, how can I not be excited?"

Mo Xingzhou tried hard to calm his mind and attacked again. This time it was better than the last time, but it still made Wang Xingchuan frown.

Hmm, is this the martial arts prodigy He Jinan mentioned? There's a lot of water in the story...

Wang Xingchuan decided to try it himself. With some people, if you ask them to practice moves, you can't tell anything. Only through actual fighting can you find out their depth.

Without any pretense, Wang Xingchuan jumped out with a tap of his toes and attacked Mo Xingzhou.

Mo Xingzhou: “…”

My heart is beating fast, my hands are shaking. The Demon Lord is coming towards me. How should I deal with him? Move your dead hands quickly, move your dead feet quickly!

He Jinan: “…”

Uncle, you have no moral principles.

At least you should say something before you take action!

He turned around silently, unable to bear to see Mo Xingzhou's death.
