Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 49

"Because I haven't seen Er Niang for a long time." He smiled, "Er Niang give me some bragging."

He pointed to the pimple marks on his arm from smallpox.

Kangxi rubbed his head, put him down, looked at Umalu lying on the bed, and asked, "How are you?"

Umalu smiled, as if he had no strength: "The slave is very good."

"That's good."

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Umalu thought for a while, and said: "The servant can go to the ground and stay for a while."

Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to bring the string of Buddhist beads that he often used.

Liang Jiugong went as ordered.

After Kangxi put Baocheng down, Baocheng kept pestering Umalu beside the bed.

Kangxi looked at him, didn't say anything to him, but talked about other things, he said: "I entrusted that child to Concubine Tong to raise her, she has no children under her name, and her status is high enough, she is also my cousin, the child Leave it to her to raise, you can rest assured."

He was afraid that she would not understand, so he told her in detail: "Her grandfather is Tong Tulai, the crown prince, and her father is Tong Guowei, the first-class minister and first-class prince. She is also the niece of Empress Xiaokangzhang, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

With her background and status, there are not many people in the whole palace who can be singled out.

Umalu lowered his eyes: "Master is thoughtful in every way."

Kangxi turned her face around and looked at her: "You look like this, don't change."

"Yes, the slave will save it."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, still examining her, and Umalu looked at her calmly.

In the end, Kangxi let go of her, held her hand, and said softly, "Next."

Umalu looked at him calmly: "The slave doesn't understand the meaning of the master."

Kangxi said: "You are not allowed to raise him. Firstly, your status is low. Secondly, when the Qing Dynasty was founded, the birth mother was not allowed to raise her own children."

He looked at the sadness hidden under her calm eyes, and said softly, "Wait a little longer."

She suddenly understood what he was talking about, and her heart was moved.

He is the lord of the world, he doesn't have what kind of woman he wants, but he is considerate of her.

Who hasn't had such a sweet dream when they were young - to be favored by a prince or princess, to be in love with death, there are thousands of people in this world, but they must be with themselves.

Of course she has had times like this.

But she is awake.

She was soberly aware that he was the emperor of the world, he was born above ten thousand people, and he wanted to extend his descendants, that is, to have many descendants.

Maybe there will be an emperor who is willing to have a couple for life.

But that person will not be him.

What's more, even in modern times, there are still men and women cheating constantly.

Why should she be so demanding that an emperor who sits around the world is only her alone.

She has always believed in love, and also believed in being a couple for life, but she didn't believe that she could get such feelings by herself.

If you can’t get it, forget it.

So be it.

The moving face was only for a moment, and she soberly suppressed the ups and downs of her heart. She stretched out her hand and grasped the bed sheet tightly, without revealing a trace of emotion, she just said: "Yes."

Kangxi stayed overnight.

Umalu was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, and she could not turn over, so as not to arouse Kangxi's suspicion.

She bit her finger to stop herself from making a sound.

She found that she was in the deep palace day by day, because she had nowhere to ask for help, she turned upside down, and regarded the person who caused her misfortune as her only reliance.

How ridiculous.

She couldn't figure it out.

Besides conforming to this era, what else can she do?

She bit her fingers.

Fingertip teeth marks.

Kangxi didn't have to go to court early on the second day, but got up a little later, and Umalu waited on him to get dressed.

Kangxi saw Umalu's hands and teeth marks, frowned and asked Liang Jiugong to fetch the ointment and leave it for her.

Kangxi sighed: "How did you make yourself like this?"

Umalu smiled and said, "I miss my child at night."

Kangxi nodded slightly: "In a few days, I will go see our child."

"Thank you, master, for your grace."

Kangxi has something to do, so he went back to the inner room of the hall first.

The child was sent to Concubine Tong, and Umalu stayed in Qianqing Palace all day without seeing the child.

Fortunately, later Kangxi kept his word, he often went to Chengqian Palace to see Concubine Tong Gui, and after seeing her, he would come to see her again.

He'd tell her about the kid who'd roll over and have big, dark, grape-like eyes.Gum with a few scattered teeth exposed when smiling.

Kangxi said: "That child is very well-behaved. Hearing what Concubine Tong said, he doesn't cry or make trouble at ordinary times."

She just listens.

In fact, she couldn't express how she felt in her heart, that was the child she had conceived in October, she didn't know if she loved this child, but she was thinking about it in her heart.

She has this child in her heart.

In a trance, she would smile and subconsciously say: "That's good, the slave will be relieved."

Kangxi stroked her hair, smiling a little: "I said before, Concubine Tong Gui is safe and reliable, so you should worry less."

He looked at her fixedly: "It's good that you put all your thoughts on me."

Umalu's eyes fell on him, and her eyes could reflect him clearly, although she was looking at him, she seemed to be looking at nothing.

She said, "Okay."

As soon as there is a sound of greed and joy, they form a pair leaning on the railing, lying on the couch against the green dragon, and the snow is on the rails.

Kangxi stroked her hair and sighed: "When I go to her palace these days, she is asking me to give you a place, both openly and secretly."

Kangxi hugged her and hummed twice: "I don't want to."

He is a little childish.

After a while, he said again: "She's right, I know, but I want to wait a little longer."

He told her frankly and brightly: "Once you are given the status, you can only follow the procedures in the palace. Unlike now, you are by my side."

He murmured: "I also have selfish intentions."

In the palace, the palace servants had lightly lit the candles, he was dazed for a while, and kissed Umalu's cheek.

In this hall, apart from Liang Jiugong standing at the door, there are no other palace attendants around.

He pondered: "Fengci Hall is about to be repaired, I plan to let Baocheng live there when the time comes, and I will give you a place after he leaves."

He sighed: "When I was a child, I wanted to be like an ordinary child, with my parents as companions. I didn't. I saw that Baocheng liked you, so I wanted Baocheng to live like this for a few days."

Umalu looked at him from the side. What she saw was not the wise and mighty co-lord of the world, but what she saw was a child who was stuck in the pain of childhood and couldn't get out.

She squeezed his hand from under the quilt: "I'm here."

Kangxi hugged her tightly, as if hugging the only light in his life.

On the third day of June, Kangxi led Baocheng to salute in front of the palace of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager for the first time.

This is the ritual for the prince to live alone in front of the first palace.

On the first night, Baocheng held Umalu in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Emiang, the emperor said that I am old and should not pester you, and he wants to leave me to live alone."
