Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 90

But Concubine Hui is the eldest brother's biological mother after all. Although he hates it in his heart, he still has to give eldest brother some face.

It is true that he values ​​the prince, and it is true that the palms and backs of his hands are all flesh.

After all, Big Brother is also his child, so how could he not care.

He didn't want to bring Concubine Hui with him, and taking a concubine from Concubine Hui's palace would save Concubine Hui's face.

To save Concubine Hui's face is to save Big Brother's face.

There is no need to tell the calculations here.

Seeing Wei Jianyue's appearance like this, he asked a rare question: "Did you drink the soothing soup?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave will drink it when he comes back."

He nodded, and said a few words to Wei Jianyue, and said: "It's a good thing that Concubine De likes to read, and if she learns to read, she will have more time to pass the time."

"The slave will see when he goes back."

Kangxi added another sentence casually: "If you don't like reading, it's okay to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Yes."

Kangxi hummed, didn't plan to say any more, and went to bed to rest.

In 1682 AD, on February 21th, the [-]st year of Kangxi, Kangxi led the crown prince Yinfeng to Yongling, Fuling, and Zhaoling outside the Liaodong Pass to make sacrifices in order to put down the "San Francisco Rebellion".

The scene is solemn and solemn.

Kangxi also made a few sporadic homework, nothing more than telling his ancestors about his state affairs and achievements over the years.

After Gao Ji went back, because the officials in Shengjing could not find the assassin a few days ago, he was reprimanded by Liang Jiugong's oral order from Kangxi.

After returning to the house, Liang Jiugong said: "The servant has already told the adults."

Kangxi laughed and said mockingly: "I asked you to come forward at the time, just to let them know that I was angry, and put more effort into arresting the remnants of anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty. I didn't expect it to be so useless."

Liang Jiugong hurriedly said with a smile: "I heard that the assassin killed himself when he was caught that day, and those who escaped don't know where they went. The people beside them are recuperating. The adults also tried their best."

"I know." Kangxi said, "They fought with their ancestors, and they have credit for it. I don't want to worry the emperor's grandmother and empress... Otherwise, there is the matter of them kneeling in the Chongzheng Hall today?"

Liang Jiugong understood that Kangxi kept their official positions under various considerations, but he was already dissatisfied.

He was thinking about the money sent by those ministers, and planned to go out and remind him later.

Kangxi knocked on the table and said: "Punish them with half a year's salary, let's go."

Liang Jiugong withdrew.

Several ministers kowtowed and said nothing, and retreated to rearrange the garrison personnel around the emperor.

It's been an accident, don't let it happen again.If there is a second time, I'm afraid they will lose their top Dai Hualing.

After the sacrifice, Kangxi was not in a hurry to go back, and Kangxi planned to stay in Shengjing for a while.

During the siege on February 23, three tigers were encountered on the way. Kangxi shot two tigers to death, and Prince Yinfeng shot one tiger to death.

Get off the horse and wipe off the sweat.

When Kangxi saw other people hunting in the forest, he didn't go up, but talked to Prince Yinreng on the side.

"How are you getting along with the boss and the third child?"

Prince Yinfeng said: "I don't like the boss. The boss doesn't talk much and doesn't care about me. He hasn't bullied me in recent years. The third brother is soft and weak, and I don't like it either."

"It's good not to bully you. He is old and sensible." Kangxi responded and asked him, "Where is the fourth child?"

"fine?"

"Then you should get closer to the fourth brother."

"Okay." Yinfeng agreed readily, "I've been to Mama Tong's place a few times, and I've seen the fourth child, and the fourth child is not a little bit, let's talk about it when he can follow along with his studies."

Yinreng was often with Kangxi, and he had a little more sincere affection for Kangxi than other Tian family fathers and sons, and he spoke straightforwardly without any taboos.

Kangxi didn't care either, and said after hearing the words: "Do you keep the tiger skin you took this time or..."

"The son intends to keep it for himself."

"That's fine." Kangxi smiled, "I'll let them finish it and send it to you."

"it is good."

Kangxi thought for a while, and finally lifted Yinfeng's ban, he said: "I'm going back this time, you take the fourth child to meet your mother De."

Yinfeng turned his head to look at him, and tapped the ground with a bow and arrow.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, my son knows."

Hearing what Yinfeng said, Kangxi didn't say anything more.

On the 25th, because the Raksha Kingdom invaded the Northeast of the Central Plains, Prince Yinreng followed Kangxi to inspect Ula.

Touring the territory, Kangxi pointed to the vast territory and told the prince: "This is your country from now on, you should encourage it."

The prince replied: "My son has written it down."

By the time the Forbidden City received the news, it was already the beginning of spring in March.

In the Yonghe Palace, there was a chaotic sound of jingling and chattering outside the house.

Liuli came in, carrying a plate of milk cheese, and said: "Yuan Qingqing went to ask, and said that the emperor had arranged it a while ago, and that he only came when the season came, and said that he wanted to plant some wisteria flowers."

March is the time for sowing wisteria cuttings.

Liuli smiled and said: "I don't know where the emperor knows, but the emperor really loves the master, and the master remembers every word."

Umalu wants to ask her a question, if a small talk is heard by others, is it really okay?
She opened her mouth and closed it again.

Liuli asked her, "What's wrong?"

Umalu didn't say what he thought, but said: "Have you counted the charcoal fires left in the spring this year?"

Liuli nodded: "After counting, according to the master's instructions, I took half of it and sent it to nobleman Wanliuha."

Umalu nodded: "That's good."

Liu Li said: "Eunuch Meng said that there is nothing to go out of the palace recently, and the emperor does not allow the palace people to leave the palace without reason, the master's arrangement may be delayed."

Umalu froze for a moment, then remembered what Liuli was talking about.

She nodded slightly: "Do it if you have the opportunity, if you don't have the opportunity, talk about it later."

She paused and said, "Whether this can be done or not is another matter."

She thought carefully: "It's really not possible. Now that Wu Ya's family has raised the flag, when the time comes for the Eight Banners draft, let's meet her first."

"Yes." Liu Li paused for a moment, then said again, "I heard that Shi Xiao knew that the master of Chuxiu Palace valued him, and now it's a promise that he will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' booklet when he comes back."

Hearing this, Umalu just flipped a page of the book, and said casually: "She finally got what she wanted, and this is also her blessing."

Umalu didn't take it seriously, so Liuli naturally wouldn't say anything unpleasant.

Physician Wang came to ask for the Ping'an pulse, followed by a young imperial physician, surnamed Li, who said to Umalu, "This is a young apprentice I recently recruited. He is stupid, so I have to take it with me to play around more. Don't blame me, Madam."

Umalu smiled and said: "It's okay, Doctor Wang, you are busy with your work."

Physician Wang began to ask for the pulse, and said after a while: "Your Majesty is worrying, worrying too much and sleeping less, internal exhaustion and emptiness, weak body, need to be taken care of carefully."

Doctor Wang paused and said: "I'm afraid that the emperor's heir will also be in poor health. It's best to ask a few more nuns and wet nurses to take care of him carefully, so that everything will be safe."

"I got it."

Physician Wang said again: "I will prescribe another medicine for the empress, mix it with the previous medicine."

He got up, went out to write the prescription, and explained it to Liuli.

Liuli nodded repeatedly.

Umalu sized up the doctor Li who followed him out, and continued to flip through the book without saying a word.

She really doesn't care about what's there or not.

After some time, Yinreng went to Chengqian Palace first after school.

Although he was scolded by Kangxi a long time ago, he was just not allowed to go to Yonghe Palace. He was raised under the name of Emperor Tong Jia, so naturally he could go to Chengqian Palace.

In other words, he can go anywhere in this palace except Yonghe Palace.

This time, it was only because Kangxi opened his mouth that he had to come to Yonghe Palace.

He took Yinzhen by the hand and saluted politely: "I have seen Concubine De."

At first, Yinfeng cared about Umalu, but he gradually grew up and didn't want his mother-in-law like he did when he was a child.

What's more, in the past few years, he hasn't seen Umalu for too long, and he has long forgotten why he couldn't come to Yonghe Palace. He only regards Umalu as one of his imperial father's concubines.

His imperial father was the one who was kind to him, and the same thing happened to the concubines in the harem. He was closer to his imperial father.

After all, he was raised in the palace and well-bred, so it's quite proper to meet the courtesy now.

Umalu knew this would happen a long time ago, so she was quite calm, just being an ordinary mother and concubine, she said: "Get up."

Yinfeng got up.

Liuli served the pastry.

Umalu asked: "How is the prince recently?"

"Fortunately."

"Are you doing well at school?"

"Everything is fine."

The two had nothing to say.

Umalu didn't force it, he thought for a while and said: "The fourth child is going to study in the Shang's study soon, and the prince, as the elder brother, needs to take care of him."

"The emperor's father and Tong's mother both said that the son will do this."

Liuli, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help but glance up at Umalu.

Umalu looked as usual, and said with a slight smile, "Thanks for your hard work, Prince."

Umalu thought for a while and said, "Liuli, go and fetch Yu Ruyi from my warehouse."

She looked at Yinfeng: "I don't have anything precious here, only a jade ruyi is still worth it, the prince should not dislike it."

When Yinreng heard the words, he hummed and didn't speak.

Liuli fetches Yu Ruyi and presents it to Yinreng, who will be accepted by the people behind Yinreng.

This jade ruyi was commonly used by Kangxi in his early years, and later Umalu gave it to her when she was pregnant with Yinzhen.

Umalu didn't care about it, because the color and workmanship were good, and now it can be considered as a gift to the prince.

Yinfeng doesn't care about these things, there are so many people around him to please him, multiple Umalus are nothing at all.

He said to Umalu: "Thank you, Concubine De."

He sat down for a while, pulled Yinzhen up and said, "I still have to study my homework, and I'll see Concubine De next time."

He bowed.

Umalu didn't want to stay, so he looked at Yinzhen a few more times and said, "Prince, go slowly."

Umalu said: "Liu Li will give it to me."

When Yinreng came from Chengqian Palace, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia sent Brother Ying to see him off, and now Brother Ying was waiting at the door.

However, it didn't prevent Umalu from asking Liuli to send the two back.

Liuli followed.

Baozhu served the medicine, watched Umalu drink it up, she asked cautiously: "Master, isn't it sad?"

"I've already guessed the current situation, why would I care?" Umalu said calmly, "There is nothing permanent in this world, why would I want a child to remember me?"

She looked at Bao Zhu and said softly, "I hope he doesn't remember me."

"The slave doesn't understand."

"If you don't remember me, it proves that he is living a good life." She said softly, "Only when people are in pain, will they remember the good things that happened to them."

She said with a faint smile: "People who often eat sugar will not find sugar sweet."

She knew very well in her heart that Yinfeng liked her at first, but because his own biological mother died early and he was suffering, that's why he desperately wanted a mother-in-law.

Now, no matter Yinfeng let go of it, doesn't care anymore, or found another Erniang, that's a good thing.

Umalu doesn't think she is an absolutely fair and just person. She has her own children, so she is inevitably partial.

If Yinreng still treats her as before, it will be hard for her to be sure that she will treat him and her child equally. In the end, either she will hurt her child's heart, or she will hurt the poor child.

There's nothing wrong with that now.

She thought for a while and said: "Liuli will come back later, you ask her to send something to Chengqian Palace and Yanxi Palace."

Baozhu sighed inwardly, looked at her master distressedly, and agreed.

Liuli came back quickly, followed by a few little maids from the imperial concubine Tong Jia.

Liuli said: "Master Tong Jia gave it to the master. I was afraid that the slave would not be able to get it back by himself, so I sent someone to send it together."

"She has good intentions, so keep it." Umalu said along the way, "You and Baozhu go to the warehouse to pick some things, and then send them to Chengqian Palace and Yanxi Palace."

"Then I'll let the agate take care of the master."

"Who is Agate?" Umalu asked, having never heard of this name.

"The ones who came from the House of Internal Affairs this year all named themselves after the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, and the agate is that Yuan Qingqing." Liuli said softly, "It's not worth disturbing the master about such trivial matters, so I didn't tell the master. "

Umalu sighed softly: "Call them all in."

Liuli didn't know where she was wrong, she was a little worried, but she still withdrew and asked someone to go.

Not long after, there was a kneeling in the room.

Umalu asked them to get up: "I only want you to obey the rules here, and I don't want to kneel and kowtow like this."

Everyone got up and stood respectfully.

Umalu looked at them sideways: "I'm not in good health, and I don't care much. Liuli is doing everything. She is just a person, and she is quite tired of dealing with it. She can't cover everything. Some mistakes and omissions are normal."

Umalu paused and said: "Only in my palace, no matter what, it is wider than other places."

"Master's grace." Everyone shouted in unison.

Umalu said softly: "I'm only talking about duty and ability to do things here, and I don't talk about those who follow the song, I just hope you do things according to your duty."

"Master's grace."

Umalu asked them to retreat, leaving only Meng Deyi and the five maids.

Of course she can keep everyone and show her righteousness in front of them.But in this way, those court ladies will lose face, so it's really unnecessary.

She said softly: "After thinking about it, it must be because I haven't done well in rewards, punishments and promotions in the palace, which is why you have to do this. I thought, save a seat in the future, whether it's serving tea or pouring water, Tell everyone to come in rotation every day, and also enter the house to show their faces."

　Raksha State is the Qing Dynasty's name for Russia
　　Original text: On February 25th, because Russia invaded Northeast China, the crown prince followed his father to inspect Ula, Jilin.

　　I don’t know if I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, the Yonghe Palace now has wisteria trees, which are quite beautiful, you can go and have a look if you have time

　　Regarding the title,

　　Hanchen and Manchen called the emperor and concubine differently, and they also called themselves different

　　Hanchen is basically: minister, emperor, empress
　　Manchen is: slave, master, x master
　　The concubine's address to the emperor is: master (calling in private), emperor (with outsiders), xx
　　So it's not a mess
　　Mom (more intimate), empress (more polite), x concubine (more official and more polite)
