Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 38

When she heard the sound of footsteps, she woke up suddenly, and it was too late to put the book back in place. After a little hesitation, she did not let go of the book.

"Are you reading?" Kangxi came in and saw the book in her hand, and asked casually.

She lowered her eyes and said: "The servant is tired from doing embroidery work, so he got up and walked around. When he saw that there are books here, he flipped through them casually."

Kangxi nodded, walked over, looked at the Shurangama Sutra in her hand, and raised his eyebrows: "I didn't know you liked reading this."

Umalu raised his head and watched Liang Jiugong retreat. Liang Jiugong had always been waiting outside the house.

Umalu shook his head: "A slave can only know a few words, so she can't be called a talented woman."

"That's it."

Kangxi took the book from her hand away, watched her eyes never leave the book, and said nothing.

Umalu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's a bit dark when I come back today."

"Well, I went to the emperor's grandmother."

Kangxi stared at her intently and sighed, "That's why it's too late."

He stopped talking.

Umalu nodded: "It's good for me to be filial."

She was right, but he didn't know what to say.

The Empress Dowager sent Aunt Su Ma to invite him. He knew why, but he still had to go.

Sure enough, it was still those things.

He was tired, but he still had to listen.

His imperial father died early, and his biological mother died early. It was the imperial grandmother who sent someone to bring him up, so he couldn't be unfilial.

He knew it in his heart, but he still felt uncomfortable.

His emperor is not like an emperor, he is still bound.

The Empress Dowager, who has gone through four dynasties, has been trapped by men all her life, entangled in this gorgeous quagmire.

She looked at him as she looked at the men of Aixinjueluo's family she had seen.

She sighed: "You, when you grow up, your heart is wild, just like your emperor's father. So, you can't listen to what the emperor's grandmother says."

Kangxi could understand what his grandmother meant, so he kept silent.

He doesn't understand feelings.

Although he was born smart, he has almost a photographic memory.No matter how difficult it seems to others, it is just a piece of cake for him.

But as smart as he is, he really doesn't know what his feelings for Umalu are.

But he knew that he was never willing to let go of Uyamalu.

He is the emperor and the ruler of the world. In the future, he will have more women, beautiful, soft and beautiful, who will give birth to his heirs.

But those people are not Uyamalu

There is only one Uyamalu in this world, and only Uyamalu can heal his shortcomings from childhood to the present.

He is no longer willing to care about the right and wrong of it.

He has always been a realistic and decisive person. Instead of going back to the source, he might as well hold on to what he can hold in his hands.

There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait until there are no flowers to break the branches.

No matter how good the flowers are next year, they are no longer the flowers of this year.

He was silent and stubborn.

Although he didn't say it clearly, he rejected from the bottom of his heart what the Empress Dowager hadn't said yet.

That old grandmother, who has gone through four dynasties and assisted two generations of kings, how could she not know the thoughts of this grandson who was brought up by herself.

She didn't force him to let go, but persuasively and persuasively.

She said: "You still remember your imperial father... He ignored the peace of the harem for the sake of a woman, but that woman was just destined to die early."

"Grandson remembers."

He can't help but remember.

He wondered more than once, if the emperor's father hadn't acted like that for a woman, would his mother-in-law have a better life.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "You have never met that woman, and you are young, so you may not remember it for a long time. You don't know, she is a good woman."

"She looks gentle and charming, no different from a Han woman. She is also obedient and sensible, and she can advance and retreat. I don't hate her."

The woman whose face has passed away is full of pity: "But your emperor didn't understand that it was his love for her that ruined her life."

"Your imperial father thinks that he is the son of heaven, how can he not protect a woman? But there are many ways to kill people in this world." She sighed, "Putting one's heart is not a way."

Kangxi clenched his hands subconsciously.

The Empress Dowager said calmly: "There are a lot of women surrounding a man. If you want a bowl of water to be flat, naturally hello, me, hello, everyone. But it's only a little thing, if you give it all to one person, How can other people be willing?"

She said: "You, like your imperial father, both like Han people's things. I heard that there is a word "to kill" in Han people. You should understand."

She paused: "The better you treat her, the more you put her on fire and roast her, and you will become the next Concubine Dong E."

"Yes... grandson understands."

"Today it belongs to the Niu Hulu family, and tomorrow it will belong to the Zhang family's Li family." The Empress Dowager looked at him pityingly, "They will always be jealous, and they can't help but do whatever they want. What about An Xiao's destiny?"

"The Niu Hulu family has come several times for your appointment in August." The Empress Dowager said slowly, "I agree too. It’s unethical.”

"Think about it." She looked at him wearily, "Whether it's Empress Xiaoliewu, Min Huigong, Concubine Yuan, or Empress Xiaoxian, which one will end well?"

"The emperor's special favor is nothing more than a catastrophe."

She shouldn't have said so much, but she couldn't help but say so much, she was afraid that the grandson she was optimistic about would follow the old path of his fathers, repeating the same mistakes again and again.

The empress dowager waved him away, "You are a smart boy, so the emperor's grandmother won't say much, so as not to annoy you."

"No, without the imperial grandmother, there would be no grandson now." Kangxi seemed to be telling her, but also seemed to be telling himself.

"You go down."

"Yes."

After Kangxi left the inner hall, he repeated the old saying to Aunt Su Ma, which was nothing more than asking La Aunt Su Ma to take good care of the emperor's grandmother.

Aunt Su Ma agreed one by one.

In the end, Aunt Su Ma looked at him and said in a low voice: "The master is doing it for the emperor's good, the emperor should not separate his heart from the master because of this."

Aunt Su Ma sighed: "There are not concubines in the palace who are not born without a coat. If the emperor likes it, he can be granted a position and rise up little by little. How can it be like this."

Kangxi nodded: "Emiang, don't worry, I know it well."

After leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace, he sat in the imperial garden all afternoon.

He was thinking, what should he do.

What the emperor's grandmother said was right. If he was really nice to her, he shouldn't be that nice to her.

He knocked on the table thoughtfully.

He shouldn't be so kind to her, lest she become a thorn in the side of others.He wouldn't treat her badly either, so that those people would not trample on her.

She is different to him, and he must protect her comprehensively and safely.
