Harem Daily Life

Chapter 1024 She's really going all out just to get a taste of this lovey-dovey stuff.

He Yinuo chewed and chewed, in a very good mood.

With no one vying with him for the position of left and right protectors, He Yucheng was in a great mood. He quietly picked up a chicken leg and put it into He Yinuo's bowl. Most of the time, he genuinely cared for his sister.

"Eat slowly, no one will take it from you. Third sister brought so much food today, you won't go hungry. Look at you, rice grains are all over your face." He Yucheng helplessly took out a handkerchief to wipe He Yinuo's face.

He Yinuo brushed his hand away ruthlessly: "Don't stop me from looking at...the food." The two awkward people were serving each other soup, it was quite a sight to behold.

He Yucheng: "..."

Sure enough, we can't be too good to this younger sister; she's been spoiled rotten by Father!

He Yucheng then turned to feeding his two younger brothers. His two younger brothers were still the most obedient. They would come to study when he told them to, and they would eat more vegetables when he told them to. Waaah, this prince is going to go from being a sister-obsessed brother-obsessed prince. From now on, whoever takes the initiative to raise their sister is a dog.

"Okay, serve me a bowl of fish soup." He Yinuo finished the last bite of rice and handed the bowl to He Yucheng.

Despite thinking he was going to be a brother-complex, his actions showed he was more like a sister-complex. He quickly took the bowl, scooped it full, and carefully handed it to He Yinuo, saying, "Drink slowly, be careful not to burn your mouth." His caring expression made it seem like he was about to feed He Yinuo himself.

Realizing what he had done, He Yucheng suddenly froze, glanced at everyone, and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that no one cared about his attentiveness to his younger sister. He silently chanted in his heart, "Brother complex, brother complex, I want to be a brother complex."

Because of the addition of the food-loving genius He Yinuo, the food He Min brought was quickly devoured. After everyone else had finished eating, she and Xiao Nan didn't eat much.

Xiao Nan wiped her mouth, her ears turning red, and He Min silently put down her chopsticks. He Yinuo patted her round belly and said, "Little Six will be taking a nap soon. I'll accompany Editor Xiao on a trip to help him digest his food. Oh, right, sister, you have to come with me. I don't know the way back to Chang Le Palace from the palace gate."

He Min: “…”

You don't recognize him, and neither do the palace maids who follow you.

If you wanted to drag me along, you should have said so earlier. Why make up such a reason?

However, He Min had nothing to do all day and doted on her chubby little sister, so she nodded.

Xiao Nan opened her mouth, but before she could utter a word of refusal, she swallowed it back down.

Oh well, let him take this one walk. He doesn't have that many chances to be with her anyway. Just consider it a fleeting moment of indulgence, one time is enough.

The baby needed to sleep a lot, and He Xiaoliu was too tired to continue, so she soon fell asleep to Xiao Nan's story.

In the front hall, He Yinuo, holding He Min's arm, waited for others and casually said, "I think this Xiao editor is quite patient. The way he coaxes Xiao Liu is somewhat similar to Father and Second Brother. People who are patient with children must be kind-hearted."

He Min glanced at her: "I've coaxed her a few times before, it's been alright."

He Yinuo couldn't discern He Min's intentions. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I wonder what kind of person Xiao Bianxiu's future wife will be. I imagine that with Xiao Bianxiu's temperament, the two of them should live in harmony and happiness."

Hearing her words, He Min imagined the scene of Xiao Nan and his wife enjoying tea and discussing poetry, and felt a strange pang of sadness.

"Who his wife is is none of our business."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan, who had just passed through the hall, paused in his steps as he was about to approach.

He took a deep breath, his heart aching. Yes, how could his marriage possibly be related to her? She was a princess, the legitimate daughter of the late Empress and the adopted daughter of the Noble Consort Xian. He was just a commoner; how could he be worthy of her? Xiao Nan gave a self-deprecating smile, lowered his posture, and stepped forward to take his leave.

When He Yinuo saw Xiao Nan arrive, she took He Min's hand and they happily set off. But along the way, she noticed that the two, who had been being affectionate, suddenly became awkward again. Not only did they not speak to each other the whole way, but the atmosphere also turned cold.

The weather was so hot in June, but the two of them were both icy cold, leaving He Yinuo completely confused.

He Yinuo: Hmm, it must be the wrong setting. They can only show their affection at the dinner table, not while walking. Looks like I'll have to come to the study for a free meal tomorrow. I'm really going all out for a taste of their love!

In Chang Le Palace, Tao Yan Yan had not seen He Yinuo at lunch for several days in a row.

Normally, having this child with her during lunchtime helps her eat more and have a better appetite, but these days without the child, the food doesn't taste as good for her.

"Have you sent anyone to check on her? Is Nuo'er really focused on her studies? And hasn't she been causing trouble for Yu Cheng and the two little ones?"

Chang Tai hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Princess has indeed changed from her previous laziness and is completely like a different person. I heard from Eunuch Zhang that the Fifth Princess even asked His Majesty for several difficult books to read, and she is very diligent!"

Tao Yanyan became increasingly suspicious. Logically speaking, Yu Nuo was more like her, and she would definitely slack off whenever she could. She would never even glance at those difficult and obscure ancient texts. How could she suddenly change her personality?

Xianglan brought out some snacks and said with a smile, "I heard that the Fifth Princess praised the food sent from Yongtai Palace. Could it be that she is tired of our small kitchen and goes to Yongtai Palace more often just to eat there? The Fifth Princess is also a smart child and does not want to waste time, which is why she studies so diligently."

Tao Yanyan narrowed her eyes. Since she had doubts, she would call the person over tonight and ask them.

Of course, it takes some effort to get He Yinuo to talk.

Tao Yanyan glanced at the sweltering weather outside and said, "Let's go, I'll personally go to the kitchen and bake some cakes for the children."

In ancient times, there were no electric ovens, so even if Caiyun was very skilled, she couldn't master the art of making cakes and couldn't make them fluffy, soft, fragrant, and sweet. Tao Yanyan had to make them herself.

Tao Yanyan kneaded the flour, brushed the bottom of the specially made cake mold with oil, made the cake bases one by one, and carefully placed them into the oven that she had the Ministry of Works make, and waited by the side for them to bake.

Every time Chang Le Palace made a cake, the aroma filled the air, making everyone's mouth water. The four little ones returned from the Imperial Study that evening, and as soon as they entered the palace gate, they smelled the fragrance. He Yinuo's eyes lit up, and her chubby body ran faster than anyone else.

"Mother, Mother, did you make the cake?" He Yinuo's voice arrived before she did, and she threw herself into Tao Yanyan's arms as soon as she entered the room.

Tao Yanyan was suddenly hit by a chubby guy and almost lost her grip on him.

"Slow down. Starting tomorrow, don't go to the Imperial Study. Even if you have to go, you have to finish your morning exercise with Mother first. Look at your figure. If someone didn't know better, they would think that the little pig that just rolled into Mother's arms was a pig."

He Yinuo pouted: "I've lost two pounds recently because I've been studying hard. Mother, please stop complaining about my weight. Besides, Physician Liu has already said that I'm eating healthily and I'll lose weight when I get older. Mother, you don't need to worry about raising a piggy daughter."

Tao Yan smiled and had someone bring some soft, fragrant cakes to the other three children, while she pulled He Yinuo into the bedroom.

"Hmm? Why won't you let me eat cake with them?" He Yinuo asked with a hint of resentment.

"Your mother made an even better one for you, in the shape of your favorite bear."

He Yinuo's face lit up with a smile, overflowing with happiness.

"Nuo'er, tell your mother, what exactly did you go to the Imperial Study for? Did you go there specifically to see your third sister and Editor Xiao?" Tao Yanyan began to probe for information.

This was the only answer she could come up with after thinking it over and over; she simply didn't believe that her daughter was really going to study.

He Yinuo didn't struggle for long. After all, no one knows a daughter better than her mother, and there was no use in her arguing. It was better to reveal the truth as soon as possible, eat the bear cake sooner, and ask her mother to answer her questions.
