Harem Daily Life

Chapter 753 Rebuke

Lin Yuanyuan didn't expect that the prince usually took good care of her, but today he seemed like a different person, as if he wanted to draw a clear line between them.

Her eyes fell on Empress Tao, who was sitting opposite her. She clenched her fists and cried, "Your Highness, I just wanted to attend the young master's hundred-day banquet, but the princess locked me up. The concubine and the queen refused to seek justice for me. I am truly wronged!"

Prince Yong said coldly, "Shut up! You have no right to speak here. I've already made it clear to you that the young prince is being raised under the princess's name. If you want to see him, you can do so in the backyard anytime, but not in front of the guests. Don't you remember that?"

Lin Yuanyuan wiped her tears and said, "But today is the special day when my child turns one hundred days old. I don't want to be absent."

Prince Yong angrily said, "Just because you don't want to be absent, you're going to bring disgrace upon the Yong Palace? How will you let the young prince cope with himself, and how will you let the prince and the princess cope with themselves?"

Prince Yong felt a little disappointed. They had similar faces, but why was one so outstanding that he could serve as the emperor in times of crisis? And the other, who didn't even know his own identity, wanted to appear in public and gain attention?

"Your behavior today has made me lose all my face. Now go back to your courtyard immediately and stop playing tricks." King Yong's words deeply hurt Lin Yuanyuan's heart.

"Your Highness!" Lin Yuanyuan refused to go back and tried to pull Prince Yong back. However, Prince Yong ignored her and with a wave of his hand, he forced Lin Yuanyuan back a few steps. "Someone, take her away and keep her under guard."

Several maids came forward and carried the crying Lin Yuanyuan out, and the room finally became quiet.

Prince Yong was extremely ashamed, his expression more unusual than ever before when he saw Tao Yanyan. He clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed the Empress today."

Tao Yanyan smiled faintly: "We are all family, Your Highness, don't mind."

Concubine Hui rolled her eyes at her son again. "After this incident, you should have seen clearly that Lin is not worthy of being on the stage. You must discipline her well from now on and don't embarrass her again. Well, today is a great day. Don't let such a small matter affect your mood. Queen and Concubine Xian, please move to the front courtyard. The banquet is about to begin."

Tao Yanyan and Concubine Xian stood up, and the two of them followed Concubine Hui to the front yard with their children. Prince Yong followed behind, holding the chubby He Xiaobao in his arms.

He Xiaobao grabbed Prince Yong's clothes with his small hands like a little Buddha, staring at him without blinking: "Husband, husband, husband."

Tao Yanyan, who was walking in front, staggered and almost fell. Qingfeng quickly helped her up. The master and servant looked at each other and saw the look in each other's eyes.

He Xiaobao recognized the wrong person and called Prince Yong "Father"!

Tao Yanyan steadied himself and was glad that He Xiaobao was still unable to speak clearly, otherwise there would definitely be a misunderstanding today.

She couldn't understand why. They looked so similar, how could she have mistaken him? However, He Xiaobao had rarely seen He Linzhang recently, and since he was so young, it was probably because he didn't recognize him yet.

The banquet was very sumptuous. When the guests saw the Empress, Consort Xian, and several princesses and princes coming, they all paid their respects. Tao Yanyan smiled and told everyone not to be polite. After everyone was seated, the children sat at a table with several cousins, and Concubine Hui sat at a table with Empress Tao and Consort Xian.

Shuang'er always wanted to hug He Xiaobao back, but He Xiaobao used all his strength to hold on to Prince Yong and even roared at Shuang'er in a fierce voice, insisting on staying in Prince Yong's arms.

Seeing how adorable he was and how dependent he was on him, Prince Yong simply carried him to his own table. Shuang'er had no choice but to return and report this to Tao Yanyan, who twitched his lips and told Shuang'er to keep an eye on him. There was nothing else he could do; he couldn't just beat He Xiaobao up.

Princess Yong was holding her newborn son, and Prince Yong was holding his nephew who had been mistaken for someone else. The scene at their table was quite unique.

"This fifth prince is so cute and well-behaved. The Queen is so blessed to have two princes by her side." Princess Yu exclaimed.

"Not only is she blessed, the Queen is also very capable. Now she is ruling the country for Your Majesty from behind the scenes. I heard that she is very good at handling government affairs." Princess Jing interjected.

"Okay, we are here for a banquet at Prince Yong's Mansion today. If you talk about the Queen behind her back, be careful not to upset her." Princess Jing said, trying to shut everyone up.

Princess Jing glanced at Princess Jing and said with a smile, "Princess Jing, you have good vision. You established friendship with the Empress even before she gained power. Now your Prince Jing is already one of the regents. Hey, how come you have such good vision and are so discerning in people?"

Princess Jing listened to the sour tone in Princess Jing's words and said calmly, "The most important thing in interpersonal relationships is to have mutual understanding. I see that Queen Tao is a kind person, so of course I would like to make friends with her. Besides, she draws beautiful patterns for clothes and knows how to dress well. It would be difficult for a concubine like her to not rise in the harem."

After she finished speaking, she took a bite of food and said, "You can't just curry favor with someone when they are in power. If you can't curry favor with them, you have to interact with them with your heart to gain their sincerity. However, Princess Jing, you were wrong in what you said just now. My prince was able to become the regent not because the Queen opened a backdoor, but because my prince has always been motivated and helped His Majesty. That's why His Majesty only thinks of my prince when he needs him."

Princess Jing clenched her chopsticks in anger. Her prince Jing was a well-known idle prince in the capital. Just like Prince Changping when he was young, he loved elegance and elegance, but hated government affairs. So it was impossible to expect him to learn from Prince Jing and be ambitious.

She shut up, buried her head in her food, and cursed King Jing in her heart.

Princess Yu cleared her throat and said soothingly, "Whether he has real power or not, he is still a prince. Why bother with these things?"

Princess Jing glanced at Princess Yu and thought to herself, why are you pretending to be a good person? Your father is the famous General Duan, who is highly regarded by His Majesty. Even you and your wife have gained honor in front of His Majesty. Any good thing in the palace is thought of by you, but you are here to make sarcastic remarks.

She hated this kind of people the most, so she just ate her food and didn't bother to pay any more attention to them.

The princesses' table fell silent, while the princes' table was bustling with activity. He Xiaobao would occasionally turn his head to look at the uncles at the next table. Their powerful little legs were clinging to Prince Yong's thighs, and every push was enough to make Prince Yong feel a bit overwhelmed. He couldn't understand how such a young child could have such strong legs.

He Xiaobao lay on his shoulder, looking at the people drinking next door with bright eyes. She seemed to be attracted by their lively scene, and her saliva flowed all over Prince Yong's shoulder.
