Harem Daily Life

He Linzhang took Tao Yanyan's hand in his own. "All the children have grown up and started their own families. Even Jin'an... he's been arranged to meet all the noble ladies from the court, but not a single one has been attracted to him."

Seeing that Mo Xingzhou, who is a few months younger than He Jinan, is about to become a father, while He Jinan is still a bachelor, He Linzhang is a little anxious.

Tao Yanyan was not in a hurry, after all, He Jinan was only twenty years old.

"He'll always meet someone he likes. After the New Year, when he takes up his post in his fiefdom, maybe he'll meet her. Besides, it's not a big deal for a man to get married later. But Yanran, today Concubine Liang brought the fourth princess here to ask for a marriage from the Prince of Han's mansion."

He Linzhang actually knew a long time ago that Prince Han's Palace had changed the candidate for marriage proposal, but he didn't have the time to tell her. He didn't expect that Concubine Liang would go and ask the Queen for her consent first.

"If the Queen's preferred candidate is Yanran, then I can convey this to Prince Han's Mansion and I will grant the marriage."

Tao Yanyan shook her head. "Forget it. A forced marriage is not sweet. The Han Palace is weak-willed and fickle. Yanran deserves better. I will let Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang handle the Fourth Princess's marriage. I will not participate. At most, I will give her a dowry."

He Linzhang brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and pinched her earlobe, very gently: "You have worked very hard to take care of Yunuo and the others, so you don't have to worry about the Fourth Princess's affairs."

He Yucheng, Yunuo, Xiaobao, and Xiaoliu were all taken to a farm outside the city. The Queen Mother felt lonely and asked her grandchildren to stay with them for a while. The little ones had been gone for four days, so Tao Yanyan had a few days to spare.

"I don't know if those naughty monkeys have caused any trouble. The Queen Mother is afraid that she won't be able to have peace."

He Linzhang smiled and said, "It's better to make some noise. When I was young, I was very well-behaved and old-fashioned. Our children are lively and smart, and can bring a different parenting experience to the Queen Mother."

In a quiet courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, three children were playing in the mud, their bodies and faces covered in mud.

"Fourth brother, isn't the parrot I made beautiful? Look, its belly is so fat that it's dragging on the ground." He Xiaobao held a fat parrot in his hand and showed it off in front of Yu Cheng.

He Yucheng glanced at him with disdain and turned slightly to the side: "Fifth brother, you did a good job, but you have to keep it away. If it gets on my clothes, I'm afraid you'll have to wash it for me again." He Yucheng was spotless from head to toe, in stark contrast to He Xiaobao, who looked like a mud monkey.

"Don't worry, I won't get any stains on your clothes."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Xiaoliu rushed over from behind and knocked He Xiaobao into He Yucheng's arms.

He Yucheng: "..."

I change clothes eight hundred times a day. When will this end?

He Xiaobao: “…”

Woo woo woo, I wasn’t the one who committed the crime, so why am I the one who gets punished every time?

"Ah! I'm sorry, Fourth Brother, I'm sorry, Fifth Brother, my legs are too short to stand firmly." He Xiaoliu looked at the muddy handprints on Fifth Brother's back and lowered his head: "I didn't mean to do that." The small mud cart in his hands was deformed and it was no longer recognizable as a cart. "What a pity! I originally wanted to give it to Fourth Brother, but it's broken. Fourth Brother, wait a moment, I'll make a new one."

After He Xiaoliu finished speaking, he turned around with his short legs and went to sculpt the clay sculpture again.

"Oh..." The two brothers sighed together.

"I'm going to change my clothes, you..."

He Xiaobao shuddered: "There are still three unwashed clothes in the basin. Wait for you to change them and I will wash them together." He has a hard life. There are too many clothes to wash today.

On the other side, He Yunuo had already made a large row of clay figurines, including beautiful fairies, vegetables and food that looked good.

"Fifth sister, you have such a dexterous hand! You are the most beautiful and clever sister I have ever seen." He Xiaoliu put the broken car aside and praised his sister cutely.

Yunuo glanced at him and said, "Tell me, what else do you want?"

Xiaoliu is trying to please me, there must be something fishy going on.

He Xiaoliu smiled, revealing six teeth.

"The cart I wanted to give to my fourth brother is broken. Fifth sister, please help me make another pony."

He Yunuo took a look at the cart she had just made and nodded: "Then you help me carry the mud and I will make it for you."

The two little ones, one is busy being a horse, while the other is blowing rainbow farts on the side, which is inexplicably harmonious.

Inside the house, Mu Yu handed the Queen Mother a bowl of freshly stewed bird's nest: "Eat it while it's hot. I added honey for you."

The Queen Mother took it and looked at the two children in the yard with a gentle look on her face. "Playing with grandchildren is such a joy."

Mu Yu smiled and said, "I didn't raise Yan Yan myself when she was little. Now seeing these children, I think Yan Yan must have been just as cute, well-behaved, lively, and active when she was little."

The two looked at the two children in the yard with satisfaction. The parrot flew out of the house and came to the empress dowager cursing in its little mouth.

"There's mud, there's mud, I'm not clean anymore." The parrot put its tail in front of the queen mother in disgust: "Put mud on me, I'm not clean anymore."

The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow: "Whoever wiped it, tell him to clean it for you."

The parrot paced back and forth twice, seemed to think this was a good idea, and then flew back into the house.

Not long after, a scream was heard from inside the house: "Why me again? You were the one who flew onto Fourth Brother's dirty clothes and accidentally got muddy. How come I'm the one giving you a bath?"

A man and a parrot were arguing in the room, each arguing with his own opinion.

"Wash or not? If not, you won't have anything to eat."

"Why do you ask me to wash? Can't you see there are so many clothes in my basin?"

"Will you wash it or not? If not, I'll complain."

"You're just a bird, and you're threatening me? Be careful or I'll pluck your feathers and roast them for food."

"Huh? You actually want to eat me? You made a clone of me, and I thought you loved me." The parrot looked at the fat version of itself on the table and fell into deep confusion.

"Anyway, whoever wants to wash can wash it. I don't want to wash a bird after washing clothes." Woo woo woo, what a miserable life! He Xiaobao rubbed the clothes in his hands, his eyes red.

The parrot couldn't get out of the confusion of thinking that his fanboy wanted to eat him, and his view of friendship collapsed.

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor, protect the emperor quickly, the fifth prince wants to eat a bird!"

The parrot decided to run away immediately.

What’s the big deal about being a little dirty? It’s better than having your hair plucked, roasted, or eaten!

He was so frightened that he didn't even know how to use his wings. He took his little feet and trotted to the Queen Mother step by step.

"Protect the emperor! The fifth prince wants to eat a bird."

Mu Yu and the Queen Mother heard the conversation between the man and the bird outside the house: "..."

In the yard, when He Yunuo heard the word "eat bird", his radar started to move.

She has never eaten roasted parrot in her life.

I swallowed my saliva. What does roasted parrot taste like?

Does it taste like roasted rabbit? Mouth-watering with succulent, charred meat in every bite?

"Xiao Liu, the horse is ready. Let's go wash our hands. I think we can have roasted parrot for lunch."

He Yunuo stopped playing with mud, fearing that if he was a step slower, he would miss a bite.
