Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 91

The rules Umalu said are customary in the palace, they are normal, but Liuli is very strict in running the palace, except for her and Baozhu, any maids and eunuchs who want to pass them into the house will be severely punished.

And Liuli and Baozhu did everything by themselves, even serving tea and pouring water and many other trivial matters by themselves, so others could not even enter this door.

As time goes by, it is inevitable that today will happen.

Umalu has never been in charge, but she is the master in name after all, and there is no one in the Yonghe Palace who would not listen to what she said.

Several people listened quietly.

Umalu kept the three little maids who just arrived this year, and let the others go out, she said softly: "You have your own names, why change your names to please me."

"Although this world is difficult, here I am, and I will allow you to be a bit lenient."

"I know that you want me to rely heavily on you." Umalu said softly, "I rely on Liuli and Baozhu not because of their names, but because they handle things properly. The three of you should learn these things well."

She is not in good health, and when she speaks like this, there is a bit of lack of energy, but her expression and words are so gentle, they can't help feeling a little guilty when they listen to her words.

Everyone just dare not.

In fact, they also knew in their hearts that it was because they had such a tolerant master as her that they dared to be somewhat casual and dared to do such a thing.

When will this man-eating palace be good?Just lucky to have a good master.

Just like Umalu, if she met not Kangxi, but other beauties who love the country and the city, judge people by their appearance, and prefer gentle and humble kings, I am afraid that they will not be where they are today, and they may have been devastated long ago. appearance.

But she was lucky enough to meet Kangxi, and fortunately Kangxi liked her enough, so she tolerated her retaining some of her true nature, so that she would not change beyond recognition.

What's even more fortunate is that Kangxi valued love and righteousness enough, so she didn't bend over for survival.

After all, she is not Tao Yuanming who "doesn't bow down for five buckets of rice", nor is she Li Bai who "Anneng breaks his eyebrows and bends his waist to serve the powerful and make me unhappy".

She is just an ordinary woman.

When Umalu was chatting with Liuli, he mentioned Zheng Chenggong, and then somehow Liu Rushi was mentioned, and then he mentioned Qian Qianyi, who Liu Rushi married.

Qian Qianyi, who said "the water is too cold" and did not dare to commit suicide, was ridiculed by everyone.

Umalu has a different opinion.

She said: "Although Qian Qianyi said that the water is cool, he also used money to support those who resisted the Qing Dynasty."

Umaru paused and said, "Although he doesn't have the same determination to die, he still refuses to become vulgar."

"Those who are wise and brave are only a minority after all. It is already difficult for ordinary people like you and me to be Qian Qianyi, so why force it."

At that time, Liuli sighed, she was more worried about her master than these things.

She only said: "My good master, I dare not say these words to others in the future. This is forbidden in the palace."

Those who are banned are those who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Umalu, who once made Kangxi snubbed because of "Story of the Stone", heard it, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more, and never mentioned it to others.

Umalu, who has a heart like a mirror and behaves pampered, is just because he knows that Kangxi will not harm her.That's why there is nothing to fear.

She knew it.

Therefore, she always does her duty not to cause trouble, and she will not argue with Kangxi about anything except what she really can't see.

She has done everything she can.

In this world, everyone is suffering, she can't help her, she just thinks, just don't be the one who makes them suffer even more?
Have to be forgiving and forgiving.

She gently asked them to go down: "Learn more and see more. It is always good to have real skills. Go down."

Everyone go down.

Liuli stepped forward to serve.

Liuli massaged the acupuncture points on her head.

She closed her eyes and spoke to Liuli calmly.

Maybe she should beat Liuli once or twice, but Liuli has hard work without credit, and such things are not worth hitting her specially.

Since she is doing things for herself, she still has to save some face for her.

She just taught her how to be a servant peacefully, she said: "Do you know where you went wrong?"

"The slave is at fault."

"I know you don't know, since that's the case, you don't have to admit your mistake." Umalu said calmly, "Liuli, you are the maid in charge of the palace by my side, and you have a long-term vision. If you eat meat, you should leave some soup for your subordinates." People drink. If you want to take up everything, you will get nothing."

Umalu paused and said: "I plan to send you and Baozhu over when the children get married in the future, and help manage the inner house, which is also my wish as a mother."

This is the first time Umalu said it.

Liuli couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

For these slaves, it is also a good place to be the nanny in the little master's inner house - after all, they are the people around the master, and if they go to the little master's side, the whole family of the little master has to give some face .

If there is something to do, they will take care of it for one or two minutes, maintaining the peace of the inner house; if there is nothing to do, they will be the half masters, and let the little master take care of them, so that they can be considered old.

It's really a good place for court ladies like them who have no children and no daughters after entering the palace.

She suppressed the joy in her heart and said: "The slave will remember."

"So, you have to leave me two that can be used." Umalu said with a smile.

After my master said so, Liu Li also took it to heart.

After she nodded in agreement, she said again: "Speaking of which, elder brother Six is ​​still coughing badly recently. The slave has already delivered a lot of medicinal materials. The slave is thinking, should I ask the lama or monk to recite it."

She paused and said, "I heard that the Empress Dowager has sent lamas to recite scriptures several times."

Umalu doesn't believe in these things to some extent. Compared with these things, she believes in imperial physicians more.

She said: "Let's invite some more imperial physicians to have a look."

Umalu thought for a while and said, "Lao Liu has been ill for a long time."

"Yes." Liuli hesitated for a moment, but still said faithfully, "Why don't the master bring Sixth Brother back to raise him?"

Umalu nodded and said: "I have such a plan, but..."

Umalu paused for a moment, but continued: "After confinement, I will bring the sixth child back."

"Yes." Liuli hesitated for a while, then asked her again, "Then Si elder brother..."

"Fourth..." Umalu didn't think about what to do with fourth.

In her heart, she had always hoped for the bracelet. If she hadn't been afraid that Kangxi would fake it to coax her, or that the fake bracelet would not have the ability to travel through time and space, she would have asked Kangxi to help her find it.

Right now, she can only wait passively.

When it comes, she will find a way to go back; if she doesn't, it's more or less a hope, giving her the courage to live in this era.

She has to admit that she is a selfish person, she is not great.

She has always had an almost obsessive idea of ​​returning to her own era.

However, she once read such a passage, to the effect that history is revisionist.

Either in the end, the time and space that the traverser arrived at will become a parallel time and space, which will not have any influence on the real history at all; or, the traverser itself will become a part of history.

She doesn't know which one she is.

What's even worse is that she is not good at history, she only knows the so-called reign titles like Kang Yongqian, but she doesn't know about the lives and historical trends of these emperors.

She probably only knew that Yongzheng was the fourth son of Kangxi, but she was still wondering: In this era of low medical standards, did Yinzhen really live to be the Yongzheng in history?
She did have such doubts from time to time.

After all, she really didn't know what Yongzheng's name was.

If the fourth child is not Yongzheng, she can't bear to bring back this child who obviously prefers the imperial concubine Tong Jia.

Just like the story of "two mothers competing for a child", if a mother loves her child, she cannot bear the child to be hurt, even if she loses the child.

If the fourth child is Yongzheng, then it is still the same sentence, Tong Jia's noble concubine's family background is excellent, much higher than hers, and the Tong family can give the fourth child better help.

Parents love their children and plan for them.

She took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "The fourth child...that child... is in Chengqian Palace. When I get better, I'll just see him more."

Umalu's voice was a little intermittent, but she closed her eyes and finished speaking: "The fourth child still has a day to meet, and the sixth child is far away, but I haven't seen him a few times."

She said softly: "They are all my children... Liuli."

Liuli rubbed her head moderately.

Liu Li said: "Yin Shuang'er is by Sixth Brother's side, take care of her carefully. Don't worry, master, take good care of yourself."

"I know." Umalu paused and said, "You can ask someone to deliver something to Yin Shuang'er in a few days. She has worked hard to take care of the sixth child."

"Yes."

Liuli's work was safe, and after a few days, after finishing the work, she came back and told Umalu that everything was as usual at the sixth elder brother's place, and Concubine Hui also sent people to take care of her, but Yin Shuang'er personally took care of the medicine and food. What is the problem.

Umalu thought for a while, and asked Liuli to send another person to relieve Yin Shuanger's burden.

Naturally, it was Liuli who did it.

Liuli took Yaliqi there, reported to Lingyun, the maid in charge of Concubine Hui, and took Yaliqi past Lingyun's eyes, Liuli took Yaliqi to meet Yin Shuang'er in the side hall.

After she introduced to both parties, she asked Yaliqi to stay and take care of the sixth elder brother, and then called Yin Shuang'er out.

She said: "My master is sympathetic to you. The Ministry of Internal Affairs' new show girl this year will send it over after it's done."

She said: "You are not by the master's side, the master will always remember you."

Yin Shuang'er said: "I know, every year you send the master's reward, and you send some things to the little master from time to time. Although the master doesn't come often, the little master is always thinking about it. It's just that the little master has a bad cough, so don't worry about it." Dare to withstand the wind."

After all, she sighed faintly.

Yin Shuang'er looked into the distance and sighed: "I feel guilty in my heart, the master trusts me, but I didn't take good care of the little master."

Liuli stopped in her tracks and looked at her: "You, take good care of the little master so that you can find a good future."

"Huh?" Yin Shuang'er didn't understand, "I just hope that I can take good care of the little master and not disappoint the master."

"That's good." Liuli didn't intend to say more, and said casually, "Then Yaliqi is honest and easy to be deceived, but fortunately he is the most obedient among the newcomers. Anyway, you should take care of yourself."

"Okay." Yin Shuang'er sighed, "Those imperial physicians still say the same old things, and they don't know when the little master will recover. Every time I see him coughing badly, my heart aches."

Liuli was about to speak, when she saw the little palace maid in the distance looking over her head, she said calmly: "It's getting late, I should go back, you should pay attention to everything."

Yin Shuang'er followed her gaze and saw nothing, but followed her and said, "Okay."

Liuli left.

Business as usual.

Umalu still seldom went to the ground, and occasionally went to the ground, and only walked around the house. At that time, Liuli mostly supported her.

In addition to Baozhu in the room, Li Qiaoer and Yuan Qingqing would also appear from time to time, and they could be regarded as familiar in front of Umalu.

Liuli would occasionally tell her news about the fourth and sixth children.

What worried her was that the sixth child was seriously ill, and she wanted to listen to Liuli's words, so she asked the lamas and monks to read scriptures for him.

Superstition or not is not as important as children.It's just that she called the imperial doctor several times in the end.He didn't dare to go too much, after all, the sixth child was still raised under the name of Concubine Hui.

The imperial doctor is still the same old saying.

She could only calm down and wait for now.

The books that Wei Jianyue bought during Kangxi's east tour had already been delivered to her side, and Liuli collected them and put them where she could take them easily.

After all, Liuli is the maid in charge of the palace, sometimes when she is busy, she and Baozhu don't care about Umalu, and it is Li Qiaoer and Yuan Qingqing who serve her personally.

Unlike Li Qiaoer in embroidery, Yuan Qingqing speaks and acts a bit like her.

Sometimes when Umalu sees it, he will feel that his mood is delicate.

Umalu had nothing to do, so she invited Yuan Qingqing to ask her: "Have you ever read?"

"The slave can only read a few words."

Every time she gave Umaru a book, she looked like a book lover.

Umalu didn't know what she said was true or false.

Umalu said with a smile: "If you want to read my collection of books in the future, tell Liuli that you have a clear path."

"I'll greet her too."

Yuan Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Thank you, master."

"Go on." Umalu stopped chatting with her and continued to flip through the book.

Kangxi came in from the outside, watched her put down the book, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you reading?"

As he spoke, he picked up the book.

He frowned: "Who sent this book?"

Umalu said calmly: "I don't remember either."

She got up slightly again, took the book in his hand, and flipped the preface to him to read, only to see that the preface read: Those who read "Jin Ping Mei" and feel compassion are Bodhisattvas; those who feel fear are gentlemen; Those who have a joyful heart are villains; those who have a law-oriented heart are the ears of beasts.

She said: "I just want to see if I am a Bodhisattva, a gentleman, a villain, or a beast."

"I thought you were a wooden person, but I didn't know that you were so deviant in your bones." Kangxi was angry and funny, and for a while he couldn't tell what he wanted to do with this person.

　The original text of "Books and Fables: Two Mothers Compete for Children":
　　The two mothers had a dispute with one son, and the king spoke to each other.At that time, Wang Mingxue, based on his wisdom, said to his two mothers: "Today is the only son, and the two mothers call him. Listen to the two of you, each holding an arm. Whoever can get it will be his son." Without mercy, try to pull as long as you can, not afraid of injury; the mother who gave birth to her is kind to her son, and she loves and cares for her, and she can't bear to be pulled.Wang Kam is true or false, and the person who made the effort said: "It is not your son, and he is forced to hold his son. Now in front of the king, I will tell you the truth." Then he said to the king: "I judged the falsehood, and I named him in vain. Your Majesty Congsheng, fortunately forgive the falsehood Pass." Return the son to his mother, and let Er go.

　　The general idea is that two women rob the child, both claiming that they are the mother of the child, and then Wang asked the two women to pull one side, similar to a tug-of-war, and the mother of the child won.

　　One woman pulled the child vigorously, but the other woman let go when she saw the child was in pain.

　　Wang said that a mother loves her child, and she doesn't want to see her child hurt, so she asked the second woman to take the child away.
