Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 92

Kangxi took the book away, threw it to Liang Jiugong, and said: "Let them be more careful about the books sent to Yonghe Palace in the future."

Liang Jiugong hurriedly replied: "Yes, I have recorded it."

Umalu wasn't angry either, he just said: "My master promised the slaves not to punish them for such a thing."

Kangxi looked at her fixedly.

She said with a slight smile, "It's just a book, I just don't want to read it in the future."

Kangxi pinched her face: "You should read less books, don't worry."

He turned sideways to Liuli and said: "From now on, I will look at your master and don't allow her to flip through the book too much."

Umalu sighed, didn't want to talk, and even pushed people away: "I'm tired, master, go and see sister Tong Jia."

Kangxi sat down: "You are tired, go to sleep."

Umalu knew that he was trying to tease her, so he glanced at him, lay down on his side and fell asleep, not long after, there was a soft snoring sound.

Kangxi left.

Walking to the door, he said to Liuli: "From now on, everyone in Yonghe Palace will be able to read and write, and they will know which books should not be sent to the master."

Liuli lowered her head and said obediently: "The servant is in command."

Kangxi left.

Kangxi walked towards Chengqian Palace, walked for a while, stopped, and said with a smile: "Listen to her, those palace people will not be punished."

Hearing his voice smiling, Liang Jiugong said nonsense: "The emperor is in a very good mood."

Kangxi smiled slightly and nodded: "She really hasn't changed at all."

Whenever he felt that she had changed, she would tell him that she hadn't.

She was still the same woman back then, who appeared to be submissive, but was actually so free that the Forbidden City couldn't be trapped.

He thought for a moment, if given the chance, she would definitely leave without looking back.

However, she won't have the chance to leave.

Anyone who has raised birds knows that for a bird that wants to fly back to the sky at any time, not only must its feathers be cut off, but also the cage must be closed at all times.

He liked her at first because he liked the freedom in her bones, which he would not have if he followed the rules since he was a child.

But if he loves her, she cannot be so free.

She has to be his wife and his child's mother-in-law, how can she be so free?
He is selfish.

He hoped that she would be as free as before and maintain her own nature, so that she could prove that there are really things in this world that never change.

He also hoped that she could be his wife and the mother-in-law of his children with peace of mind.

He is very selfish.

However, he is the emperor, and he will have whatever he wants.

He stepped forward: "The folk script, you should also attract more attention, and send it to her when there is no problem."

"Yes."

He entered Chengqian Palace, and Chengqian Palace knelt down on the ground.

He walked in, and Yinzhen was there too.

After the people got up, the palace people returned to their original places, and the imperial concubine Tong Jia said: "The fourth child should enter the Shang's study next year."

Kangxi sat down, nodded and said: "I plan to let Gu Badai enter the Shang's study next year."

"Slave remembers that he was born in Manchuria with the Yellow Banner inlaid?" Tong Jia asked the imperial concubine.

Kangxi nodded.

Kangxi said: "He is both civil and military, and has military merits. I plan to use him."

This is true.

But Imperial Concubine Tong Jia really wanted to ask him, isn't it because of the fourth child, isn't it because of Concubine De?

She felt that such a self was ridiculous, so she didn't say anything.

She nodded and said, "Alright."

She talked about something new: "My servant heard from the queen mother that the emperor will visit Mount Wutai next year..."

Kangxi responded: "You want to manage the affairs of the Six Palaces. If you want to take you, you have to let Concubine Rong take charge of it temporarily. If you want to go, you can go with you."

Imperial Concubine Tong Jia smiled: "It would be good to have a few more sisters in charge together."

Kangxi asked people to retreat, and said: "I hope the Tong family can become my backing."

The imperial concubine Tong Jia restrained her expression, and said respectfully: "The Tong family has always belonged to the emperor."

"That's good." Kangxi said.

Concubine Tong Jia was a little confused about what he meant, so she fell silent.

Kangxi said: "Well, let Concubine Rong take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace temporarily next year, and you and Concubine De will accompany me out for a walk to relax. I have been in the palace all this time, and I have wronged you two."

"Okay." Imperial Concubine Tong Jia said with a smile.

Concubine Tong Jia stood up, carried the chessboard, and said with a smile: "The sisters in the palace sent a chessboard a few days ago, and the servant invited the emperor to play chess together. I don't know if the emperor will reward him or not."

Kangxi sat down to play chess with her.

Black and white stones intertwine on the chessboard.

A room is confused.

The days are mostly uneventful.

Because Umalu had spoken, Yuan Qingqing wanted to borrow a book, and Liuli had nothing to object to.

Month after month passed, and soon, Umalu gave birth to a princess.

Although Liuli regretted that she was Gege this time, she talked about sour and hot girls, but seeing her master's pale face, she didn't say much, she just asked Baozhu to go down with the nuns to take care of little Gege.

She waited by her side, wiped Umalu's sweat, and was busy inside and outside.

Knowing that it was Gege, Kangxi got up a few steps. He wanted to go and see Umalu, but he also thought that in the ancient rituals, a puerpera would not see anyone for a month after giving birth, so he sat down again and asked Liang Jiugong to send ginseng and ginseng. some prizes.

Liuli received the reward outside, and took Liang Jiugong to see Xiao Gege, so that Liang Jiugong could go back and tell Kangxi.

After finishing the trivial matters, she returned to Umalu to continue serving.

When she was not around, Li Qiaoer and Yuan Qingqing could be regarded as doing their best, but Liuli always felt that others were not as good as herself, but whenever she was with Umalu, she had to do it herself.

This is the third time for Umalu to have a baby. From being uncomfortable at the beginning, to now, she is also adapting to her fate.

Elder brother and Gege in the palace have special nurses and nuns to take care of them, and they don't need the concubines to take care of them personally.

Because she was not confinement, Umalu couldn't go out.

Kangxi and Concubine Tong Jia visited Xiao Gege a few times, teased him a few times, and sent some rewards, and the other concubines also sent congratulatory gifts one by one.

Liuli handled it all by herself, and just told Umalu about the gift list and things, and didn't bother her.

Umalu didn't care about these, and gave up after listening.

After confinement, Kangxi personally hugged Little Gege and showed it to Umalu: "Now there are several boys, only three Gege, now one more would be great."

Umalu followed with a smile and said, "The slave also thinks the same way."

Kangxi teased little Gege: "Grow up quickly, Ama will find you the best husband in the world."

Umalu watched with a smile.

Kangxi put Xiao Gege in her arms again, took out a pair of acacia jade buckles, separated them, and put one of them in front of her.

He said: "I fell in love with it during the east tour, and I always wanted to give it to you, but I didn't have the right opportunity."

He said with a smile: "Now let our little Gege see with his own eyes how loving and loving she is."

Umalu hugged Xiao Gege and picked up the acacia jade.

Kangxi looked at her with a gentle expression: "The shopkeeper told a story about being separated in troubled times, and then reunited with this pair of acacia jade buttons. Although it is fake, I want to give it to you."

Make all the bonds of one heart, although this life is short and lingering.

He really wanted to spend his whole life with her.

She just raised her head, put Acacia jade aside, with a faint smile, no trace of sincerity or falsehood.

She said, "Thank you, Lord, the servant likes it very much."

Kangxi had known her character for a long time and was not disappointed, so he talked to her for a while before leaving.

After all, the days passed day by day. It was an extremely ordinary afternoon. Liuli came in with the medicine, watched Umalu finish drinking the medicine, and then said: "Master, the little master died young."

Umalu put the bowl aside, then slowly looked up at her: "What did you say?"

"Little master, I'm dead."

She took a deep breath before calming down.

This is the second time she has faced death in this era.

The first time was Aunt Dai Jia many years ago, and the second time was her own child.

Her... child who only lived for two months.

She was silent for a while before asking, "How did she die?"

Liu Li paused, and said: "Last night, the little master had a high fever, so Baozhu and the nanny went to invite the imperial physician, and the imperial doctor also prescribed medicine. They took care of her all the time, but the little master still went."

She listened silently, clenched her hands tightly, and the bed sheet was crumpled under her palms.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm down: "Have you reported it to the emperor?"

"Someone has been sent."

Umalu leaned against the back of the bed, breathing steadily.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Liu Li persuaded: "Master, it's fine if you cry."

"it is good."

Although she agreed, she didn't cry.

Liu Li looked at it silently for a while: "Before Xiao Gege had a high fever, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia came here."

Wu Malu closed his eyes: "Could it be possible that Tong Jia, the heir of the imperial concubine who died before entering the palace, should also be blamed on her."

Just as she has always worried—in modern times, children often die for one reason or another.In this era, medical technology is too poor, and her children may not all survive to grow up safely.

In this era, a wind and cold may even kill a person.

That's why people say that many children and grandchildren are blessed.

With so many lives, there will always be one alive.

Umalu said: "I know you are doing it for my own good. But don't say these words in the future, they are all raised by their biological parents, and only those who have no taste will take action on their children."

"I believe that Imperial Concubine Tong Jia would not do such a thing." She breathed steadily and intermittently said, "That child...she is too young."

She was taken away by a high fever.

Umalu was still persuading Liuli at this time, she said: "If you have such thoughts, you will only suspect your neighbors and steal the axe, seeing that everyone is an enemy, wouldn't it be making enemies for yourself and ruining your character for nothing. "

Umalu thought for a while, and added another sentence, saying: "Those who have resorted to selfish means, dare to look in the mirror and see their own face."

"It is said that gentlemen do something and don't do it. Is it possible that women like me have to say that I am a woman and I am not bound by the shackles, so I despise myself and find some excuses to do some shady tricks. To respond Others laughed at the phrase I waited for, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

Umalu looked at her calmly: "I think, if she knew about it, she wouldn't want her mother's hands to be covered with blood."

"Great skill is what you don't do, and great wisdom is what you don't care about."

"Don't make yourself look like a ghost or a ghost, and leave two points of kindness for yourself and others."

She taught her to accept her temperament, get rid of evil roots, and keep her original nature.Read the books of sages and sages, and do benevolent and righteous deeds.Rather than condescending and self-righteous.

Liuli shuddered.

Since she was named Liuli by Empress Renxiao, it was because she had a heart of Liuli, and she understood what her master meant when she heard the words.

She touched the cold sweat on her forehead, and said with lingering fear: "Thank you for reminding me, master, this slave almost had a demon in his heart, and wanted to do such a bad thing."

Liuli had other thoughts in her mind, her master, unlike the other masters in the harem, did not get her high position only because of her beauty or flattering the emperor.

That's right, Empress Renxiao still recited before her death: "The hibiscus flower in the past is now a rootless grass. How long will it be good to serve others with sex."

Her current master has something different from other masters, so no matter how many times the emperor has been annoyed by him, he will come to see him again.

Isn't that what those loyal ministers are like?Although the emperor has a headache because of his straightforward character, it is also simple in the emperor's heart.

A disrespectful thought came to her mind, compared to the Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao whom she had served, the current master is more like the empress who is the mother of the world.

The current master's focus is not on one family, nor on the harem, and has nothing to do with his own family, but based on the world.

In this world, there are treacherous eunuchs who fight for power, but there is also no shortage of Qingliu who plead for the people.There are people who think about the family and focus on the present, and there are also people who worry about the world, worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's happiness later.

Master De's character cannot be trapped by a female body.

She suddenly realized the beauty of her master's title "De".

A thought popped up in her mind, it is a pity that Lian Xin gave up Master De, but Master De is also right, everyone has their own fate, and it cannot be forced.

The other masters are kind, and they are also very good.But if she was an ordinary person, she only wanted a queen like Master De.

At least, she has seen concubines in the harem begging for rewards from the emperor, nothing more than gold, silver and jade, farm houses and shops, and the Dude master said that "it is good to be exempted from [-]% of the world's taxes".

She also came from a poor family. During the time of war and chaos, there was no food. Her parents had nothing to do, so they sold her to a human tooth, and went round and round to the Hesheli Mansion. Because of her cleverness, she became a... She became the second lady's personal servant girl, and then entered the palace again.

But she remembers the days when she didn't have enough to eat.

She thought about this in her heart, and said respectfully on her face: "Yes, this servant has remembered."

Umalu didn't want to say more, and waved her to go down.

After she left, Umalu stared fixedly at the curtain above the bed, her eyes were dry, but she couldn't shed any tears.

She smiled bitterly, stopped struggling, nestled under the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

At night, when she woke up, Kangxi had already been sitting for a long time.

She got up, looked at Kangxi, and said softly: "My lord is here, why didn't you call me?"

Kangxi stepped forward and sat down, held her hand, and said, "You're tired, it's good to have a rest."

He persuaded her: "Elinzhu, that child has no chance. I will build a wooden sign for her and put it on Wutai Mountain with me next year. I think she will be saved. I hope she will find a good family in the next life, be happy with her husband and live a long life."
