Harem Daily Life

Chapter 494: Your Majesty, are you thinking of that person again?

Concubine Liang did not stay long. The Fourth Princess was waking up to sleep, so after she finished explaining what happened, she took her child and left.

Mingyue looked at her master and said, "This Concubine Liang is also very cunning. She came to tell you this at this time to show her loyalty and to show that she will not take advantage of others' misfortune to win your favor. Secondly, she also wants to use your hand to completely cut off the Li Cairen so as to protect the Fourth Princess and prevent her from being taken back in the future. Your Majesty, we still have to take care of ourselves first. Please don't get angry and don't worry about this matter."

Tao Yanyan listened to Mingyue's words and smiled: "You are right. The most important thing for me now is to give birth to the child safely. But..."

"Do you think His Majesty really thinks of that person again?"

Mingyue didn't dare to speculate, after all, no one could guess the emperor's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, how about asking Manager Li to keep an eye on things and see if there's any movement at Jingci Temple?" According to the information Chang Tai had found out, His Majesty had sent someone to give Li Cairen a birthday gift. Mingyue didn't dare to say anything, so she could only persuade the Queen to send someone to keep an eye on things first.

Tao Yanyan thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, if you have the time, you might as well spend more time making money."

After saying that, Tao Yanyan asked Mingyue to help her go to the study. She hadn't drawn for a long time, and she wanted to draw more things for babies, design them and have people make them, and sell them in the shop. The children could use them after they were born. She could do something practical, earn money and kill time at the same time.

As the saying goes, even if one's emotional intelligence is low, one can be successful in one's career. Tao Yanyan drew seven or eight drawings in one afternoon, and drew baby carriages, crawling clothes, slides, etc. of future generations, as well as several beautiful women's dresses.

Looking at the satisfactory paintings, Tao Yanyan was very happy: "Ask Dongfang to send the drawings of the baby carriage and the slide to the Tao residence, and ask my father to find someone to try to make them. Mark the dimensions, and bring them in for me to see when they are done."

Mingyue took it and smiled as she saw the car: "Such a delicate little car is really beautiful!" She also saw the slide, which had steps, a platform, and a long slide, and said worriedly: "The slide that the queen is talking about looks very complicated. I'm afraid it will be difficult to build."

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "Try to make it, but don't force it if you can't do it." Because it needs to be curved and smooth without scratching clothes, it must be very difficult. The materials used in later generations are all plastics, which are one-piece molded, which is definitely impossible in this era. And it is difficult to make wood bend and smooth, so this slide needs to be studied carefully and it will take some effort to make it.

"Mark this section. If it cannot be bent, you can lower the inclination and make it straight." Tao Yanyan took the drawing and wrote the notes.

"Let Dong Fang send these to the ready-made clothing shop, and ask Manager Sun to take charge of making them." Tao Yanyan was only responsible for the design, and the materials were left to professionals.

Mingyue took the blueprint downstairs. Tao Yanyan stretched his body and rubbed his wrist. Now he was the only one left in the room, and a feeling of loneliness slowly spread.

The two babies in her belly moved regularly every day, and now they started to move again. She gently touched her belly and said, "No one has read to you for several days. Are you a little uncomfortable? Then, starting tonight, I will arrange for the little sister and little brother to read to you."

Tao Yanyan opened the window and looked at the plum blossoms in full bloom outside. Somehow, he thought of the scarred man he met in Prince Yong's Mansion that day.

"Blue, orange and amber plum blossoms? Ha, I have never seen that in later life." Tao Yanyan muttered to himself. Qingfeng pushed open the door and came in with a bowl of white fungus soup, and heard his master muttering.

"Your Highness, do you want to see plum blossoms? Then why don't you go to the Imperial Garden to admire them? There is a large area of them in the northeast corner. I will pick a few purple ones and bring them back for you to arrange flowers."

Tao Yanyan looked at the weather outside. It was gray, but fortunately it wasn't raining. "Okay, let's go out for a walk. We'll be back in time for dinner."

Qingfeng brought her a thick cloak and wrapped her tightly, handed her a hand warmer, and called Changtai and Xianglan to go to the garden together.

"The queen was born in March, which was a good time with the warmth of spring and blooming flowers. The clothes didn't have to be as thick as they are now, so it wouldn't be too troublesome for the queen to recuperate during the period." Qingfeng has already found an experienced nanny to learn how to take care of the queen during the period, and is just waiting for the little masters to be born.

Tao Yanyan smiled. The capable maids around her were really nice to her. They were very attentive and hardworking in their daily work.

The group turned a small road and met the person they didn't want to see - Lady Lu.

Tao Yanyan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and continued to walk forward with his men without looking around, but Lady Lu was so tactless that she actually came forward to greet him: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine left after seeing me. Don't you want to see me? It's a pity that I am such a big person, it's hard not to be seen."

Qingfeng stepped forward and said, "Lady Lu, please pay your respects, and then please stand aside and don't block my queen's way."

Lady Lu glared at Qingfeng and said, "How dare you, a dog slave like you, speak to me like that? It seems like you are really relying on the power of others."

Qingfeng was extremely angry and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tao Yanyan.

She pulled Qingfeng behind her and said, "There is nothing to say between you and me. There is no need to perform those false formalities, pretending to pay respects to me while actually coming to disgust me. Also, you cannot scold my servant whenever you want. Watch your words, otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

Lady Lu was frightened by the coldness emanating from Tao Yanyan, but she was the master after all, so calling him a "dog slave" was not excessive, right?

Lady Lu sneered, "Your Highness, you indulged me in being disrespectful to your master, and you blame me for being rude? Your Highness, do you really think you are the most favored person in the six palaces and a great person? Oh, Your Highness, you'd better hurry up and enjoy your good life as the master. Maybe after a while, when my sister returns to the palace, Your Highness will have nothing to do!"

Tao Yanyan looked at her coldly: "It's not even dark yet, are you having a sweet dream so soon?"

Lady Lu was not annoyed, she just raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know that His Majesty has sent someone to send a birthday gift to my sister. Oh, not only did he send a gift, he also asked about my sister's well-being and asked her to take good care of herself."

After saying that, she looked up and down at the person who was pregnant with twins, and her eyes were about to burst into flames with jealousy. She originally wanted to criticize her figure, but apart from her belly, she was not fat at all.

Lady Lu still attacked against her will, "With your current figure, His Majesty would probably want to hide away. No wonder His Majesty doesn't want to go to your Changle Palace, and has been visiting my daughter these days. Hahahaha, my daughter has really grown up, and looks a bit like my sister. Oh, I won't bother you, Your Majesty. I have to make preparations in advance. Maybe His Majesty will take my sister back to the palace before the New Year!"

Tao Yanyan narrowed her eyes. Although she was very unhappy, she could not lose face. "Some people are complacent when they get a little favor from a man, but they don't know that the insignificant favor is not reliable at all."

She glanced at Lady Lu and said, "Even if Your Majesty doesn't come to see me, I am still living a good life. I have money, a high position, and children. None of these can be compared to you sisters."

After saying that, he left with his men, leaving Lady Lu standing there gritting her teeth.

She became even angrier when she thought about having to give part of her already insufficient monthly salary to the Lu family.
