Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 1

In 1675 A.D., during the first month of the 14th year of Kangxi, the north wind howled, and it was covered with silver.

The sky is still cold, and one breath can freeze a person to ice.

In the Forbidden City, except for a few sporadic people who are on duty, most of those who are not on duty are nestled in the house and roasting charcoal fire to keep warm.

It's all in Maodong.

Uma Guan woke up from the darkness, opened her eyes suddenly, the headache and dizziness made her uncomfortable.

She slowed down for a while, adjusted her breathing, looked at the wooden beams on the roof, rolled her eyes, and then she was about to support herself.

Someone came over, handed her a glass of water, and said in a bad mood: "You are lucky, you don't have to go to see those today. That woman's legs are bleeding."

Umalu couldn't turn her head around, she had a stiff face, lowered her head and drank the glass of warm water, her throat was so dry that it was difficult to speak.

She scanned the room slowly, everything was antique, and there was exquisiteness in the simplicity.

Judging from Umalu's limited experience, she knew that this cup could barely be regarded as a collection and was of great value.

She has already noticed that something is wrong, but she refuses to show the slightest strangeness.

She supported her body and wanted to get up to pour water by herself, but she was weak all over, and just this movement made her gasp for breath.

Seeing this, the hard-spoken and soft-hearted girl took the water glass in her hand and poured water. The water was simmering on the charcoal fire so that it would not get cold, and the poured water was still steaming now.

She couldn't help but mutter: "If you are not in good health, don't move too much."

She stuffed the teacup into Umalu's hand, and said, "Warm your hands, don't freeze them anymore."

Umalu followed the instructions obediently, and the warm air passed from the palm of his hand along the teacup.

The woman put the pillow behind her waist for her, and then she sat on the side and knit in satisfaction.

Umalu watched all this quietly and asked, "What's the matter?"

When they just walked in, they heard her questioning, their faces were a little bit happy.

One sat down and reached out to touch her forehead, while the other sat aside and talked to her.

The girl who touched her forehead sighed, "Fortunately, your fever is gone."

Then he continued: "You don't know how scary you are. You woke people up by talking nonsense in the middle of the night, and only then did you know that you had a high fever."

She pouted at the person who poured the water, and said: "She went to see the aunt in charge, and the imperial doctor to see you. Fortunately, my son's fever has subsided. When the illness recovers, you should thank him very much."

The person who poured the water spat lightly, and stuffed the teacup into Umalu's hand: "Don't listen to the nonsense of Sister Shuang."

Sister Shuang said with a smile: "Good girl, I speak for you, but you don't appreciate it."

The two of you talked one by one, neither letting anyone else go, but the voice was quite low.

The girl talking to her smiled and said: "Don't worry about her, she is always like this."

The girl smiled: "We just entered the palace yesterday. Seeing that you ignored us, we thought you were high-spirited and difficult to get along with, and we didn't know you were uncomfortable."

The girl said: "Just like Sister Shuang said, if it weren't for Niu Niu, I don't know what you will be burned into."

Niu Niu heard the words and snorted: "You don't need to thank me, but fortunately we are the coats of Shangsanqi, and we are a respectable family, so we asked my aunt to accommodate me, and asked the imperial doctor to treat my illness."

She hated iron but said: "We are not ordinary court ladies with no name or distinction, so we don't need to force ourselves to do something good or bad, so that's good."

The girls sitting next to her and talking introduced her one by one: "I'm Dai Jiayue, the one whose son seems to be eating people at the moment is Wanliu Hanuniu, and the other is Sister Wei Shuang, there are only four of us here, I just hope we get along well." , it’s good to be peaceful.”

Now it's time for Umalu to introduce herself, but Umalu really doesn't know what's going on now, so she can only keep silent.

Then Dai Jia Yueyue seemed to notice it, and said with a smile: "Okay, we have also seen that you are a stuffy person. You don't have to know what to do."

She said in detail: "Yesterday when Niu Niu helped you to ask your aunt, she knew from your aunt that you are a woman from Wu Ya's family, and your name is Ma Lu."

She sighed, with a bit of envy in her tone: "Our name is also called Wan'er, unlike you, who has a serious name."

Dai Jia Yueyue regained her composure and said, "You are ill. The aunt in charge told us to tell you. She has saved you these few days of assessment. When you are better, everything will be as usual. Only you and I have just entered the palace. It’s better to pay more attention to the rules.”

Umalu nodded obediently: "Okay."

She suddenly asked, "Can I go out and have a look?"

Wanliu Hanuniu sneered and said, "It sounds like you are the master of this palace, but even if you recover from illness today and go to see the maid who was punished, you won't be able to ask such a question."

Wanliu Ha Niuniu has already mentioned it twice, but what is it?

Umalu didn't know, she looked at Dai Jiayue.

Dai Jia Yueyue sighed: "Just now, the aunt in charge let us watch the punishment. The leg of the tortured maid was bleeding. I heard that she will be sent to work in Xinzheku."

She said: "In this palace, it's better to be honest and do your duty."

Umalu opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask.

Dai Jia Yueyue sighed: "We just entered the palace, so it's hard to talk about things in the palace, so let's just leave it at that, we'd better keep our own place."

She seemed to have a few more words to say.

Umalu subconsciously wanted to turn the bracelet on his left hand, but turned in vain.

Now she couldn't listen anymore, she looked at them and interrupted Dai Jiayueyue: "I have a bracelet that I always wear on my wrist, have you seen it?"

The three looked at each other and shook their heads.

She was anxious, but she still maintained her composure. After describing it, she said: "It was left to me by my ancestors, and it was inlaid with colorful gemstones. I probably accidentally left it somewhere. If you see it, tell me." I say."

"That's very important to me," she said.

The other three complied.

Seeing that she looked listless, Wanliu Ha Niuniu told her to continue to rest.

She lay obediently in the bed, and after sweating all over, she became a little awake.

For a while, she was thinking about the bracelet, and for a while, she was thinking about the name Dai Jia Yueyue told her.

Uyamalu.

It is only one more elegant word than her name "Umalu".

Only her name was taken together when the lama who came to give the bracelet gave it to her.

Grandma said that when the lama saw her, he clasped his hands together and asked his parents to name her Malu.

When parents ask why.

The lama only said: "Everything is fate, and it cannot be changed without manpower."

Afterwards, the lama repeatedly warned that the bracelet he sent could not leave her body, nor could her name be changed.

Parents naturally don't believe the words of the gods and gods.

But when she was young, she was weak and often suffered serious illnesses.It wasn't until I did what the lama said that I grew up safely.

　These four people all entered the palace in the first month of the 14th year of Kangxi (1675), and they selected the wrapped show girls. The wrapped show girls were selected only by Shangsanqi.

　　According to the "Compilation of Chinese Edicts in the Yongzheng Dynasty", Dingfei Wanliuha's family entered the palace on the same day as Wu Ya's.

　　Concubine Cheng, Dai Jia's father, Zhuo Qi, was only a treasurer.The so-called treasurer is just an official position under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responsible for financial registration, etc., and belongs to the seventh-rank officials.

　　So the concubine Cheng is also likely to be coated, and she just raised the flag later
　　Because the family members of the wrapped show girl basically work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs
