Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 58

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Master knew what you were going to say, and he asked me to tell you that you would never think that Master put you by Master De's side, that's all."

Eunuch Meng looked at him quietly.

The little eunuch shook his head slightly, looking like a child who can't be taught: "Master is also doing it for your own good. The more favored the emperor is, the higher your status will be."

Mr. Meng said: "Are you newly recruited by Master?"

The little eunuch said: "My name is Wei Zhu, and I am indeed Master's new apprentice."

Wei Zhu said with a smile: "Master said, there is a senior brother in front of me named Meng Deyi, who works beside Master De, let me walk around more with senior brother."

After Meng Deyi finished listening, he took his hand out of his sleeve, handed over 20 taels of silver, and said, "I came out in a hurry today and didn't bring anything. I'll give you a meeting gift next time."

Wei Zhu said: "No, no, I have to go back."

Wei Zhu said again: "Master also said that although the brothers are serving Master De now, our masters are all the Emperor, you have to distinguish clearly."

Meng Deyi sighed: "You tell Master, I understand."

Lian Xin handed out the food box, Wei Zhu asked the little eunuch who was standing far away to take the food box, and then left.

Lian Xin asked him: "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the master being so stubborn, what can I do?"

Lian Xin laughed: "Although you have known the master for a long time, after all, you don't spend as much time serving the master as we do. Master, she has such a temperament."

"Lianxin." Liuli shouted.

"Here we come." Lian Xin went in.

Meng Deyi put his hands in his sleeves and looked at the sky.

The sky in the Forbidden City is getting colder and colder.

Lian Xin came out after a while, and asked Meng Deyi to take the eunuchs to divide the meals sent by Kangxi.

Lian Xin clapped her hands and said: "Master has a bad appetite, so I only ate one or two mouthfuls of the same dish, let us share the rest."

Meng Deyi nodded.

Lian Xin said: "Master said today is New Year's Eve, so give us a holiday. Just let Liuli and I stay. You all go down and rest. I will call you if there is anything to do."

Meng Deyi agreed, and asked people to prepare all the things that should be prepared tonight, and then left.

Umalu asked them to close the door and invited them in to warm up together.

There was a lot of fire in the house.

Umalu leaned on the couch and flipped through the book, said with a smile: "You have worked hard these few days."

"It's not hard." Lian Xin said with a smile, "It's hard work for the master."

Umalu nodded: "Liu Li, you and Lian Xin go to my private vault and sample the ones you like."

Liuli hurriedly got up and said: "Master, this is not in line with etiquette."

Umalu smiled quietly: "You two have been busy for a year, and you deserve all of these. Tomorrow's reward will be paid out, and you two will have to work hard."

Liuli said: "It's what slaves should do."

Umalu nodded: "You have been with me for so long, and you deserve to do things according to your duties."

Lian Xin pulled Liu Li, and Liu Li responded.

Umalu saw it, and said, "Let Meng Deyi choose one with you."

"Yes."

Umalu paused and said: "I remember that in the gift list you showed me a few days ago, there was a light blue and white horseshoe. Send it to Yin Shuang'er. She has followed me and has been doing her duty."

"Yes."

After thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing to say.

Umalu continued to flip through the book.

On the second day, the first day of the first lunar month in the 19th year of Kangxi, Liuli asked people to prepare rewards early in the morning.

Reward according to the level of the position.

Ordinary handymen are 20 taels for palace servants; 35 taels for those who walk in front of the master; if they serve the master personally, or are the general manager of the palace, [-] taels per person.

As for the extra reward from the master yesterday, that was a private matter, so there was no need to make it public.

Umalu is not in good health, so naturally he doesn't show his face, but he still wants them to remember the kindness of their master.

Liuli said: "In the past year, there were merits and demerits. The master is kind and doesn't care about it. He just writes it off. I hope everyone can perform their duties in the coming year."

"Yes."

Liuli led everyone outside the house and bowed to the house again.

This is what makes people leave.

Liuli called Yin Shuanger to stop, and asked her to follow her to get the light blue cloth.

Yin Shuang'er was surprised and lost: "Master...Master is still thinking about slave..."

Liuli nodded: "Master is affectionate and has us in his heart, so don't let master down."

Yin Shuang'er hugged Bu and nodded fiercely: "Yes."

Liuli waved her off.

Lian Xin looked at her back and sighed: "Her eye circles are red."

"It's good to be young."

Liuli patted her: "Let's go."

Although Lian Xin followed, she muttered: "I heard that fifth elder brother will be raised under Master Tong's name."

"The most respected person in the palace is Master Tong."

Lian Xin sighed: "Master Tong came from the emperor's mother's family after all."

Liuli persuaded: "Okay, let's not talk about this."

She changed the subject: "Our master is more than eight months pregnant now, let the midwife prepare some."

"Don't worry, I've asked someone to register."

Liuli nodded, and the two went back to the room, and saw a maid waiting in the room, looked at each other, nodded slightly, and went forward to let the maid back out.

On the fifth day of February, Umalu gave birth to an elder brother. After the confinement, Liang Jiugong came to visit in person and brought some rewards. There was a screen of Wanfu Baizi in the room.

Liang Jiugong glanced around.

Umalu asked Liuli and others to retreat.

Liang Jiugong sighed: "Master De, the whole world belongs to the emperor, so why do you do this?"

Umalu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't know what Manager Liang means."

Liang Jiugong sighed: "The emperor has you in his heart. If you are like this, how can you make the emperor feel comfortable?"

"Lansheng empty valley, no one is self-sufficient. Gou Feiyou, who will be the general." Umalu said softly, "I know Manager Liang's kindness, please let this go."

Liang Jiugong shook his head slightly and backed out.

Liuli offered a reward.

Liang Jiugong glanced at the door, and said indifferently: "You guys, please persuade Master De more."

"Yes."

Liang Jiugong turned and left.

After returning to Qianqing Palace, Kangxi had just finished practicing calligraphy and asked him: "How is it?"

"Master De, thank you."

Kangxi said flatly: "Liang Jiugong, what I like is your honesty."

When Liang Jiugong heard Kangxi claiming to be so, he knew in his heart that Kangxi was angry, so he quickly lowered his head, with a humble smile, and said: "Master De said, "Lansheng is empty, and no one is self-sufficient.Gou Feiyouren, who will be with the general. "The servant didn't understand what it meant, so he didn't say anything."

Kangxi said with a half-smile, "You don't understand, but she does."

Kangxi threw away the pen in his hand, and said with a sneer, "She compares herself to Yu Lan, I want to see how noble she can be."

He sneered: "It's just a concubine."

Liang Jiugong listened, bowed his head and remained silent.

　When they eat, some people use serving chopsticks to serve dishes, which are clean, so they are often given to the servants to improve the food.
