Harem Daily Life

Chapter 458 I like you so much

Eunuch Qin stood trembling by the side, listening to Doctor Xu talking about the Third Prince's condition. He hated himself for not finding an excuse to go out first.

He had heard too many royal secrets, and he didn't know whether this incomplete life could survive to leave the palace.

"Continue with the prescription and don't tell anyone else what you just said." The Queen Mother said after a long while.

Doctor Xu hurriedly agreed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then stood up and stood aside.

"You are the director of the Imperial Hospital, and you are the best doctor. You should pay more attention to the Third Prince. At least... make sure he is not too different from the average person. Even if he cannot be as tall as the emperor in the future, he should be as tall as an average man. Otherwise, how can he have prestige among the princes?"

Doctor Xu's forehead was sweating again. The Queen Mother had given him an impossible task!

But he didn't dare to say anything or refute now. The Queen Mother was very angry and he must not seek death.

He had no choice but to say, "Yes. I will do my best to treat the Third Prince."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked Doctor Xu to leave.

Doctor Xu came out of Changchun Palace with very fast steps, fearing that if he walked a step slower he would be caught by the Queen Mother and asked to write a military order, insisting that the Third Prince must be cured into a normal person.

As for Tao Yanyan, ever since she found out she was having twins, maybe it was due to the psychological suggestion or the balance of progesterone in her body, she actually regained some appetite and could add a boiled egg every day. However, she only ate the egg white and didn't want to eat a single bite of the dry yolk.

"Mother, I'll help you eat the egg yolks. Jin'an loves egg yolks the most." Fortunately, little Jin'an stepped forward and helped her share the burden so that the egg yolks were not wasted.

Tao Yanyan touched his head: "Jin'an is such a warm-hearted boy, I like you so much!"

Tao Yanyan pinched his little face and wanted to give him a kiss.

He Yue pouted: "Mother Tao, I am not happy when you say that. You should say that you like Yue Er very much!"

The second princess, He Yue, fought and struggled for it, and it was she who fought for it to be raised under Tao Yanyan's name.

Tao Yanyan pinched her soft and cute little face: "Jin'an is my son, it's normal for me to like Jin'an, and I like you too, my cute little princess."

He Yue's face was flushed. She took a big mouthful of rice, feeling very satisfied.

He Xuan said proudly: "You are all little babies, you are fighting for even this kind of favor, how childish."

Tao Yanyan picked up a large piece of braised pork ribs for her: "I also like Xuan'er. Xuan'er is the best child who makes people worry less."

He Xuan raised her eyebrows, looking a bit like her father, and happily munched on the ribs.

He Linzhang sat at the top, watching Tao Yanyan's daily interactions with the three children, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Tao Yanyan was just accompanying the father and his two sons for dinner. She ate very little herself, just vegetarian dishes and the egg white of a boiled egg.

After the meal was served, He Linzhang took Tao Yanyan out for a walk. It was still very hot and only got slightly cooler in the evening.

The servants didn't dare to follow too closely. The two of them held hands, as if they had formed their own barrier that no one could disturb.

"Yanyan, the three children all like you very much, and I like you too." He Linzhang stood under an osmanthus tree, looking at Tao Yanyan with tender eyes, and gently held her hand in his.

A gust of wind blew, and the osmanthus flowers were blown off the branches and fell on the top of He Linzhang's head. Tao Yanyan stood on tiptoe with a smile on her face and brushed them away one by one for him.

"Yes, I know! It's rare for Your Majesty to confess your love, I'm so happy." Tao Yanyan leaned into his arms, enjoying the beauty of the two hearts sticking together and leaning on each other at this moment.

The moonlight was as bright as a mirror, slanting down and shining on the two of them, as if they had a faint halo, which was pleasing to the eye.

Many years later, on every moonlit night, Tao Yanyan would think of the confession that night, the fragrance of osmanthus that night and the warmth of the embrace that night.

On August 13, the Yan State delegation escorted Princess Qinghe to the capital of the Great Zhou.

"Princess, the capital of the Great Zhou is really prosperous. After we settle down, I will accompany you for a walk." The maid was dazzled by the prosperity and wished she could get off the carriage and go shopping right now.

Princess Qinghe looked outside the carriage and said, "This is the Great Zhou that the emperor's sister-in-law has always been thinking about. No wonder she wanted to marry back after her brother passed away."

"But the King of Northern Yan did not allow it, otherwise he would have been able to travel with us this time and return to Great Zhou." The maid said regretfully.

Princess Qinghe snorted, "What's the point of coming back? The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty won't even marry a girl like me, so how could he be interested in a woman like her who is old and has lost her husband?"

When the maid heard the princess criticizing the late emperor, she quickly lowered her head and dared not interrupt.

"Have you found out clearly? What kind of person is Prince Yong?" Princess Qinghe lowered the carriage curtain and sat up straight.

The maid briefly reported the intelligence gathered by the people sent out: "I heard that this Prince Yong is the son of Concubine Hui, the favorite of the previous emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the legitimate prince was not so outstanding, I am afraid that the whole country would belong to Prince Yong. I don't know his personality, but the princess in the palace has been childless for many years, so Prince Yong did not pursue it."

Princess Qinghe pondered for a moment: "I am a princess of Yan State, but I am not worthy of the Emperor of Great Zhou. Well, let the Emperor of Great Zhou take a good look at how I win his favor step by step after entering the Yong Palace as a concubine and become the most honorable princess of Great Zhou!"

The maidservant knew very well that the princess was feeling very upset. First, she was rejected by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then she was given as a concubine to a prince who already had a wife, making the princess of a country seem very worthless.

The princess came to the Great Zhou with a competitive spirit, and she must get back the face she lost!

After resting for two days, the Yan State delegation went directly to the palace for a banquet. This was also the first time that Princess Qinghe appeared in public.

"Princess, you look so beautiful today. You will be the most beautiful girl among all the other girls." The maid complimented.

Princess Qinghe looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her skin was as white and delicate as snowflakes, her eyebrows were as slender as willow leaves, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a touch of spirit. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water and as bright as stars.

"Remember to bring the jade flute with you. If you want to show your talent, you can't lose today."

The maid respectfully went down to prepare: "Yes!"

In Changle Palace, Tao Yanyan first ate the light meal made by Caiyun to fill her stomach. Qingfeng prepared candied fruits and nuts for her to take with her to the palace banquet.

When the mother and her two children arrived at the main hall, they saw Prince Yong standing in the corridor, seemingly waiting for someone.

Thinking of Prince Yong's initiative to marry, Tao Yanyan raised her eyebrows and walked over with the children.

When Prince Yong saw her coming, he clasped his fists and bowed: "I hope Concubine Tao is well. I heard that you are pregnant, so I specially found a thousand-year-old ginseng to replenish your blood." After saying that, the attendant beside him immediately took out a box and handed it to Qingfeng.

Tao Yanyan was quite surprised: "Your Majesty is here just to wait for me and give me ginseng?"

Prince Yong glanced at her quickly, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness is my savior, please accept this small token of your gratitude."

Since the other party spent so much money to find the top-quality thousand-year-old ginseng, Tao Yanyan naturally couldn't refuse. She took it with a smile, thanked King Yong, and then smiled and led the children in.

Most people had already arrived in the hall. As soon as Tao Yanyan entered, she felt an unfriendly gaze staring at her. She looked in the direction of that gaze and saw a flash of cold eyes from Princess Yong.

Tao Yanyan's heart skipped a beat, thinking he had seen it wrong.

He thought to himself that he had never offended Princess Yong in any way; the two of them had never even had any contact with each other!
