Harem Daily Life

He Min clenched her fists and said, "Fourth sister, you must take some time out of your busy schedule to enjoy more of the delicacies of the Great Zhou Dynasty and spend more time with Concubine Liang. After all, you will be getting married in a few months and will follow your future brother-in-law to Yanzhou. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, Concubine Liang will miss you."

When Concubine Liang heard this, she felt a little sad for some reason.

He Qian bit her lip. Everything about her marriage was good, except that she was marrying too far away. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. The Han Palace was one of the best in terms of family background and strength, and she had no regrets.

"Thank you for the reminder, Third Sister. If you are free, please come to our palace and we sisters can get together and chat." He Qian said perfunctorily.

"How can I have the nerve to disturb you? After all, you have to embroider your wedding dress yourself, which is very time-consuming and laborious. You attach so much importance to the Prince of Han's Mansion. I hope that the Prince of Han can treat you well and not let you down." After He Min finished speaking, she was too lazy to deal with the mother and daughter anymore. She bowed, performed the necessary etiquette, and left.

He Qian was a little dazed, and always felt that there was something sarcastic in He Min's words.

"Don't pay attention to her. She is just jealous of your good marriage. The more she is like this, the more it shows that we are making the right move. The Prince of Han's Mansion is the best choice." Concubine Liang patted He Qian's hand to comfort her.

"Yes, what you said is absolutely right. I will definitely hold on to the heart of the Crown Prince of Han and live a good life. Don't worry, Mother."

He Min walked a few hundred meters before she snorted coldly, "How dare any random person show off in front of this princess? Doesn't she even consider whether she's worthy enough?"

Leng Shuang, the maidservant beside her, advised: "Princess, don't worry about it. Just wait until she gets married. You will hardly see her again in this life. There is no need to get angry over a few words from her."

He Min smiled and said, "I want to see what the future holds for this marriage she's planning."

The little palace maid nodded: "Yes, this man doesn't actually have to be prominent, as long as he is worthy of her. But marrying so far away just for the sake of prominence, with no relatives or friends, will probably suffer in the future." Although marrying far away does not necessarily mean a bad life, most women who marry far away do not have a good life. This has been common since ancient times.

When they arrived at Changle Palace, the little unpleasantness caused by He Qian had long disappeared. He Min found He Yunuo and the others, and the four of them played together.

As soon as Tao Yanyan returned to the palace, she asked Chang Tai to convey a message to Ningyuan Hou, asking him to send someone to investigate Fang Ziming and Lingxi Niangniang in private. When she learned that He Min came to play, she thought about it and asked Xianglan to go to her warehouse and find a fine phoenix jade pendant to give to He Min.

This jade pendant is made of pink jade. Tao Yanyan would look too young if she wore it herself, but she was afraid that He Yunuo would break it if she was careless. So it would be just right for He Min.

A sixteen-year-old girl is pretty and bright, so she should wear all the good things on her body.

He Min didn't expect that she would get a beautiful pink jade during her trip. She was so happy that she went forward and hugged Tao Yanyan: "Mother is so kind. I love you so much." Although she did not grow up under the care of the Queen, He Min often played with He Yue, and the two sisters had a deep affection for Tao Yanyan.

Tao Yanyan pushed her down and said, "As long as you like it." She put the pink jade on He Min with her own hands and said, "Don't worry about Min'er's marriage. Your mother and I will help you choose one."

A hint of shyness flashed across He Min's face. "Don't worry, my elder sister and second sister are already married. It's just the right time for me to stay in the palace to accompany my mother and my mother, and fulfill my filial duties on their behalf."

Tao Yanyan touched her hand and said, "Okay, you should also help your mother to control those three naughty monkeys. They are really making a lot of noise all day long and it's really disturbing."

The three children were favored and under no pressure. They spent their days studying and playing, and the palace was filled with them having fun. They were so energetic that if Tao Yanyan didn't have so many people to help her take care of them, she would never have been able to take care of three lively children on her own.

He Min stayed in Changle Palace for dinner. He Yucheng had a worried look on his face and ate half as much as usual.

Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Tao Yanyan was worried that he was feeling unwell, so he asked.

He Yucheng shook his head. "I'm not feeling unwell. I just lost the debate with Master Xiao today. Since he came, my schoolwork has increased by half. He's really more annoying than my Second Brother."

He Min raised an eyebrow: "Are you talking about Master Xiao who wrote 'Ten Songs of Autumn Scenery'?"

He Yucheng nodded: "Has Third Princess read it?"

He Min replied, "I've read it. I used to think he was good at poetry, but is he also a good debater?"

He Yucheng was dissatisfied: "What's so great about him? Wait until I'm a few years older, and I'll see if he can still win an argument with me."

Tao Yanyan had some impression of this Master Xiao. It seemed that he passed the imperial examination in the same year as the second prince consort, but ranked sixth. Later, he entered the Hanlin Academy and became an editor.

"The more you argue, the clearer the truth becomes. Prince, there's no need to mind. But why did he assign so much homework? You already have a lot to do."

He Min's words instantly made He Yucheng feel like he had found a soulmate. "Third Sister is right. I originally thought that Master Xiao was younger, so there wouldn't be such a huge communication gap between us. I didn't expect him to be so pedantic and inflexible. He insisted on making me learn so much, claiming it was for my own good. Every morning I have to go to court with my father, and in the afternoon and evening, besides eating, I study. It's so hard!"

He Yucheng, despite his young age, seemed to be carrying a heavy burden.

He Min glanced at Tao Yanyan, who quickly avoided her gaze and went to pick up some food for He Xiaoliu.

He Min stuck out her tongue. "Well, when a great responsibility is bestowed upon a person, the crown prince of a country must sometimes shoulder responsibilities that they cannot shoulder. My little brother, you should work hard. If you study well, you will be a wise ruler in the future. We brothers and sisters all depend on you for care!"

Tao Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief. She chose to keep her mouth shut when it came to the education and training of the crown prince.

He Yucheng: "..."

He Xiaobao picked up a chicken leg and gave it to his brother: "Brother Prince, you should eat more. Only when you are full can you have the energy to study." He Xiaobao looked at him sincerely. He Yucheng twitched the corners of his mouth and silently took a bite of meat.

"Prince Guoguo, please eat more vegetables. If you are healthy, you won't feel tired when studying." He Xiaoliu used his not-so-skilled chopstick skills to pick up a piece of vegetable for He Yucheng.

He Yucheng pursed his lips and swallowed the vegetables in one gulp.

"It's just a lot of homework. Don't worry, I'll help you with it later." He Yunuo said very righteously.

He Yucheng rolled his eyes at her. "Accompany me? Do you mean eating snacks with me or reading storybooks with me? Do you dare to pick up a pen and do the same homework with me? We are twins, so we should share happiness and hardships together."

He Yunuo's mouth twitched: "I don't have a throne to inherit, why should I suffer so much studying? You should study hard, you will have to support me in the future. Otherwise, I will tell my second brother and give you more homework."

He Yucheng: "..."
