Chapter 478: Love from the Imperial Concubine
Chapter 478: Love from the Imperial Concubine
Gu Yi investigated quickly and found that there were no pursuers behind Xiaolu.
"It's really strange." Tao Yanyan said lightly.
Gu Yi also felt strange: "Don't worry, Madam, I have arranged people around the tent and will not let any animals get close."
Tao Yanyan nodded. His Majesty and the others would not be back for a long time, and she wanted to rest now.
Seeing her tiredness, Gu Yi said, "Madam, please take a rest. I will take my leave first." As he turned around, he glanced at Princess Xinlan and said, "I wonder if your foot is feeling better?"
Princess Xinlan was stunned. Does he care about her?
Surprise flashed through Xinlan's heart, and her heart seemed to come alive a little.
"Thank you for your concern, General. I'm fine now." Xinlan said softly.
Gu Yi wanted to talk about Gu Cheng again, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, so he could only nod slightly and leave the tent.
Tao Yanyan looked at Xinlan's smiling face after she spoke a few words to Gu Yi, and sighed slightly.
This silly girl is really, she is led away by just a little bit of sweetness!
Tao Yanyan decided to teach her a few tricks, otherwise she would be controlled by whoever she met in the future.
"Xinlan, do you know how to make the man you like fall in love with you step by step?" Tao Yanyan asked.
Xinlan blushed, thinking of Gu Yi's devotion to her, and said embarrassedly: "I... I don't know."
Tao Yanyan smiled and said: "First, you have to make him feel anxious and unable to guess what you are thinking. Let him miss you first."
Xinlan's face turned even redder. She wanted to ask Concubine Tao to stop talking, but she also wanted her to teach her some experience, so she listened with conflicted feelings.
Tao Yanyan continued: "Secondly, before he confesses his feelings, you have to let yourself look at other people. It's still what I told you the other day, cast a wide net. You haven't even met a few people, how can you be sure that you have a special liking for this one? So it's better to look at other trees before you settle down, don't hang yourself on one tree."
Xinlan listened, the Imperial Concubine's words... seemed right, but also seemed wrong, this was teaching her to step on multiple boats. She couldn't even step on one, and if she stepped on more, she would probably fall into the water!
Tao Yanyan continued: "The third rule is to always put yourself first and make yourself happy. If you are not happy, then kick me. Don't let yourself be wronged."
Xinlan bit her lip and asked the question in her heart: "If His Majesty makes Her Majesty unhappy, would Her Majesty dare to kick His Majesty?"
Jiang Yingying, who was standing aside, listened attentively and looked at Tao Yanyan with gossip in her eyes.
Tao Yanyan raised his eyebrows: "Of course. Before, His Majesty made me angry and favored my concubines, so I ignored him for ten days or half a month, and had people close the palace gates before dark every day to prevent him from coming in."
Xinlan took a deep breath, and thought of the stern look of the emperor's cousin, and how angry he was when he was locked outside the door, and shuddered: "Your Majesty, you are so brave. The emperor is so scary when he is angry!"
Tao Yanyan thought that it was fine, at least she could just act coquettishly and be fine.
"Well, so I have another trick for you. That is, after you are angry, if you still want to continue with him, then give him a way out, act more like a spoiled child, say a few sweet words, and he will be nice to you obediently."
Jiang Yingying blinked her eyes: "What if I am angry and don't want to live with him anymore, what should I do?"
Tao Yanyan looked at her with amusement, and seeing the gleam in her eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That's easy. If you get married, you can get a divorce. If you don't get married, you can break up."
"Break up?" Jiang Yingying was puzzled, as if she had never heard of this word before.
Tao Yanyan coughed lightly: "It means breaking up. If you decide to be with him, then you are starting to fall in love, so you have to hold hands and go on a date under the moonlight. If you don't want to fall in love anymore and want to break up, then you don't hold hands, talk, or go on a date. It's a breakup."
Xinlan and Jiang Yingying blushed. No one had ever taught them these things. It turns out that there is such a thing as "falling in love" between men and women!
Don’t they just like each other and wait for the other party to come and propose, and get married without even meeting each other a few times?
The Imperial Concubine really opened the door to a new world for them.
Seeing the two of them listening with blushing faces, Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "You can still fall in love after getting married. Emotionally pulling each other, creating little surprises in life, acting coquettish and throwing tantrums, these are all falling in love. You can slowly experience it."
The two girls blushed at what she said. Jiang Yingying scratched her head and said, "You are really amazing, no wonder His Majesty favors you so much."
As soon as she finished speaking, a eunuch came hurriedly: "Madam, His Royal Highness Prince Yong was injured and was carried back."
Knowing that only Prince Yong was injured, Tao Yanyan felt a little relieved: "Let's go and see Prince Yong."
The imperial physician was already treating Prince Yong in his tent. When Tao Yanyan arrived with his men, his wound had already been bandaged.
"Is the prince's injury serious?" Tao Yanyan asked the imperial physician.
Doctor Zhao said, "It was scratched by an arrow. Fortunately, the wound is not deep. After disinfection and applying medicine, it will be healed after a period of rest."
When Prince Yong saw Tao Yanyan coming to visit him in person, he smiled and could not help but said softly, "Don't worry, Concubine. These are just minor injuries. It is common to get injured during the annual hunting."
Tao Yanyan nodded: "Anyway, the skin is broken, so you should be more careful and watch out for inflammation. Then you should rest more, I won't disturb you for now."
Prince Yong was reluctant to let her leave, but he couldn't keep her here forever, so he just smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, my concubine."
Qingfeng helped Tao Yanyan out, and King Yong looked at her back with a lonely look.
By the evening, hunters came back one after another, each with a full load. The people from the Food Department took the prey down for processing. He Linzhang rewarded those who had hunted the most. The emperor and his ministers were all happy. At nightfall, everyone attended the night banquet, and the scene was very lively.
He Linzhang attended the night banquet after taking a bath. He looked at Prince Yong's injured arm and said a few words of concern, showing brotherly love and respect.
Hearing that Tao Yanyan went to visit Prince Yong in the afternoon, He Linzhang said casually: "Actually, I also have some scratches, but they are all minor matters, no problem." He Linzhang raised his hand to show Tao Yanyan.
Tao Yanyan saw the places where he was scratched. There were marks, but no blood, so it was indeed fine.
But when she looked up and saw him looking at her eagerly, with an expression that said "I'm not in pain, I just want you to hurt me", Tao Yanyan pursed her lips, frowned slightly, pulled his hand over and looked at it carefully again.
"The skin is broken!" Tao Yanyan muttered, "We need to ask the imperial physician to disinfect it."
He Linzhang felt relieved when he saw her caring attitude, and said with a smile: "That's not necessary, Yan Yan will just touch it."
Tao Yanyan deliberately glared at him: "Fortunately there was no blood. If there was blood, dirt would have entered the blood vessels and my hand would have been useless."
Seeing her making a fuss, He Linzhang smiled even more deeply and gently held her hand.
"Your Majesty, it is your right hand that is injured, so don't hold the chopsticks. I will feed you." Tao Yanyan thought to herself, you just want me to take good care of you, then I will take good care of you and pamper you in front of all the civil and military officials, and let you have enough fun.
He Linzhang enjoyed it at first, but gradually he felt a little uncomfortable.
There was no other reason. It was because the little girl held his hand softly, tenderly, and fed him mouthful by mouthful in a coquettish voice. He drank two more glasses of wine and ate the nutritious prey. He felt hot all over and wanted to take her back to the tent quickly...
