Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 54

Concubine Tong looked at her in surprise, greeted her to get up, and said: "Now that you have a status, it is inappropriate to call you that. Get up."

Umalu got up, still lowered his eyes, and said softly: "The servant is dressed in the yellow flag, and naturally he will worship the master when he sees him."

Concubine Tong opened her eyes slightly, and quickly smiled again: "It's okay, I know you are a person who knows etiquette and rules, and you don't have to be like this in the future."

She beckoned her to sit down, and said softly: "Don't blame me, I'm the only one in charge of the affairs of the sixth palace, and some things have to be done."

"The master has a kind heart."

Concubine Tong smiled and said: "Okay, don't call me master, we are all serving the emperor, who is the master of whom. From now on, only the empress dowager, the queen mother and the emperor will be our masters."

She looked at her seriously ill body, and said with a smile: "The fourth child can eat and sleep, I will ask the mother to carry it out for you to see."

Umalu clenched her sleeves slightly, she smiled softly, with a submissive look: "Thank you, Concubine."

Concubine Tong asked someone to bring the fourth elder brother. The child was not small, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and looked at Umalu blankly, very cute.

Umalu held out his hand and the child grabbed Umalu's index finger.

She knew it was the jujube given by Concubine Tong after she slapped her across the face, but she didn't care.

She can eat this jujube.

Concubine Tong Gui asked the mother to put the fourth elder brother on the couch, and dismissed the left and right.

Concubine Tong Gui sat on the couch, slowly watching her play with the fourth elder brother.

Concubine Tong slowly said: "I know, no one can do anything if the emperor won't let you go. But you have to put on a show, otherwise in the harem... who will want to see you?"

Concubine Tong said with a bit of boredom: "Not everyone can see clearly. They have what they want, and they will fight for it. Who can control people's hearts?"

She took a sip of tea, and said meaningfully: "You have to know it in your heart, the lesson of the empress filial piety from the previous dynasty is still there."

"Yes, my concubine knows."

Concubine Tong Guifei's son has finished dealing with the affairs of the harem, so he will rest for a while, and is willing to have a few more words with her.

Although Concubine Tong has a grudge against Umalu, she can see that Umalu is a responsible person with knowledge and interest.

Concubine Tong knew in her heart that whoever the emperor liked was the emperor's business, and no one could interfere.It's just that if you dote on someone again, you'll have to face it anyway.

She does have some affection for the emperor.

But more importantly, she knew that these things were what she should do.

She adores the emperor.

But she is the daughter of Tong's family after all, so she can't make mistakes, she has to win the sacred heart for Tong's family, and win that little glory.

Just like her aunt—the emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiao Zhaozhang.

Just by giving birth to a prince and the prince becomes the emperor, one person will attain the Tao and the whole family will be prosperous.

She knew it well, so naturally she wouldn't mess around.

She said a few words indifferently: "The emperor loves and respects you, that is your blessing. But it is the duty of the emperor to extend his descendants. You must not be small, and you should persuade."

The child grabbed Umalu's hand, she raised her head and smiled: "I know."

Concubine Tong thought for a while, and she had nothing to say, so she said to Umalu: "I want to rest for a while, if you want, you can take Si elder brother out for a walk."

She said: "The child just woke up, and I'm afraid he won't be able to fall asleep for a while."

"Thank you, Concubine." She saluted, picked up the fourth elder brother, and walked slowly.

The fourth elder brother is not yet a year old, and he can't walk yet, so he needs to be hugged.

Seeing her coming out, Liuli knew that she was weak, so she hurriedly hugged Si elder brother, Lian Xin supported her, and walked to the eaves.

Seeing this, Brother Ying, the maid in charge of Concubine Tong, asked someone to move out the chair and picked a good place to put it down.

Can bask in the sun, but not sunburned.

Lian Xin helped Umalu to sit down, and Liuli hugged the fourth elder brother in her arms in front of Umalu.

Umalu reached out and continued to tease him.

Concubine Tong's maid and eunuch remained silent, following Umalu every step of the way.

Umalu didn't care.

This was the first time she saw her son, and it was too late for her to be happy, so she wouldn't care about anything else.

Although the Yonghe Palace was separated by a wall, she thanked Concubine Tong Gui for her kindness and only stayed in Chengqian Palace, so as not to cause trouble for Concubine Tong Gui, and trouble at that time.

She knew what she was thinking, and she was no different from women in this era.

Therefore, facing the people of this era, she never had that sense of superiority. She was just born in a more developed era than them.

She herself is so mediocre.

And what people in each era can make is the best choice that people in that era can make.

Everyone will be tired by the times, there is no other way.

No one is the protagonist, and no one can change the sun and the moon into a new sky by himself.

If there is, it is just a coincidence of the right time, place and people.

Therefore, at the same age, she couldn't possibly do better than them.

What right does she have to look down on women of this era?
She only hopes that one day, she can return to her own era—before she is completely assimilated by this era.

Before that, she will give her son the love she should give, and she will not give less.

She does her best.

The rest is up to God.

It's like she came to this era involuntarily and inexplicably.

What else can she control?
She hugged her son and kissed him.

The years are quiet.

She is satisfied.

Baocheng came, and as soon as he came, the palace servants knelt down and saluted.

Umalu stood up and was about to salute.

Baocheng said with a straight face, "Mother concubine has a younger brother in her belly, so there is no need to salute."

Umalu got up.

Baocheng said, "Sit down quickly."

Umalu smiled and sat down.

Baocheng stepped forward to look at the fourth elder brother in the swaddling baby, frowned and said: "This is the first one born by my mother, not as good-looking as my mother."

Concubine Tong's palace staff moved out another chair and placed it beside Umalu.

Baocheng sat down.

Umalu waited for him to sit down, then smiled and said: "He is young, when he grows up, he will look better."

Baocheng still frowned: "No, I think I look better."

Umalu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Well, the prince is pretty."

Baocheng sat beside her basking in the sun, a little drowsy: "Why don't we leave yet."

"Because the fourth elder brother is being raised by the imperial concubine, you can't see him when you go back."

"Then let's take the fourth child back."

Umalu laughed: "He is being raised by the imperial concubine, so he cannot be taken away."

Umalu asked Liuli to take away the fourth elder brother, and handed the fourth elder brother to Brother Ying who was next to Concubine Tong, and then took Baocheng away.

After they left, Mammy picked up the fourth elder brother and took him down.

Concubine Tong Guifei didn't go to sleep, but she was flipping through the book, seeing her back, she asked, "She's gone?"
