Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 98

Baozhu felt uncomfortable hearing it, and her smile was a bit forced.

Liuli sighed, and said to her: "Before I was sold by my parents, someone in the village raised a dog, and the dog only listened to the owner. Afterwards, someone fed the dog a few times, and it didn't bite the dog. people."

She said slowly: "Then one day, its owner fought with that person and let the dog bite that person, but the dog didn't listen. That night, the dog was stewed by its owner."

"It's still the same for raising dogs, let alone us slaves?" Liuli patted her on the shoulder, "Baozhu, I know you are kind, but now you are the person next to the master. How long will you be allowed?"

"Don't forget how you got to the master's side."

Baozhu's heart tightened, remembering the beginning.

When she came to the master's side, Liuli and Lian Xin had long been with him, and she and Wanyan could only be outsiders.

Later, Lian Xin wanted to go to Chuxiu Palace Gege's place, after that, Lian Xin was left out in the cold, so she took Lian Xin's place and was able to serve the master personally.

Her chaotic mind cleared up a lot, she respectfully and sincerely saluted Liuli: "Thank you, sister."

She almost made a mistake, and if Liuli hadn't reminded her, she would definitely follow in Lian Xin's footsteps.

Liuli heard the words and said indifferently: "Thank you master, if there is no master, I will not guide you hand in hand to teach you these things."

Bao Zhu said sincerely: "In the future, I will make plans for Master."

Hearing what Baozhu said, Liuli knew that the purpose of taking her away just now had been fulfilled, so she didn't say anything else, and asked her to go back to the house to take care of the master.

In the room, after Yuan Qingqing got the ink, Umalu filled up the pen and wrote a que:

I don't love palace walls and willows, just because of the front edge.When the flowers bloom and fall naturally, let me go and endure the drowning.Marriage and Dongfengchun don't matter, the plum blossoms are all gone.Yulinling.

Looking at the end of the world, Wang Sunhu will not return.The great Jiangdong went to the waves to find everything, a heroic thing, and a person of the ages.Lying on the high day and lack of sleep, Nanke Yimeng.Huang Liang is light.

Although it is not as good as those poems written by everyone, it really expresses what she thinks in her heart.

She was lucky to not be oppressed so much by them, but she still changed.

In this world, people always think that it is bloody and cruel only if one has to cramp up the skin and tear apart the bones, and to be seen by others.

But no one is wrong, even if you can't find anyone to hate, you can only watch yourself completely changed, so it is not a kind of cruelty.

She sighed softly, and asked Yuan Qingqing to put it aside until the ink was dry before putting it away.

Yuan Qingqing did as she said, and also read the queer words, and felt a little touched in her heart, but she just suppressed the touch calmly.

Soon after Baozhu came in, Su Zhai went up.

The two served Umalu for dinner.

Li Qiaoer and Liuli went down to eat first.

At this moment, Zen Master Zhihui had already arrived at Qianqing Palace, and when it was time for dinner, Kangxi kept him for dinner.

After the meal, Kangxi asked a few more words before he said: "She has a temperament of cold outside and hot inside, and she is sad in her heart. I just ask the Zen master to help her more often."

Zen Master Zhihui folded his palms together and said, "Amitabha, this is what poor monks should do."

Kangxi asked again: "What did she talk about with the Zen master?"

"It's just a few Buddhist verses." Zen Master Zhihui said, "The Empress Defei has a lot of insights into the content of Buddhist scriptures, so she asked a few more."

Kangxi looked at him for a while, stopped asking, and let him go down.

Liang Jiugong went out with him, asked the little eunuch beside him to hold 200 taels of silver, and said: "This is a little wish from the emperor for the reconstruction of Yunju Temple, and Zen Master, please don't be too polite."

Zen Master Zhihui took it, clasped his hands together, said Amitabha, and left.

Liang Jiugong looked at his back for a while before turning around and going in.

In Qianqing Palace, the two young eunuchs told Kangxi about the content of the conversation between Umalu and Zen Master Zhihui, and there must be omissions in the middle.

Although these little eunuchs can know a few words, they really only know a few words.

After the two had finished speaking, they waited for a while, and seeing that they had nothing to say, they let them go down.

One of the young eunuchs suddenly remembered, and said again: "Master De also mentioned some peach blossoms with the Chan Master, and I remembered something."

"Land of Peach Blossoms?"

"Yes." Another little eunuch also remembered, "What did you say that you can't get out of, what you can get out of, and what to do if you can't get out."

Kangxi looked at them.

The two of them groaned in their hearts: "The slave doesn't remember."

Kangxi waved them down.

Liang Jiugong saw that his face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly changed a cup of tea for him.

Kangxi was smart, and when he heard the words "Tale of Peach Blossom Spring" and "I can't get out", he had a faint guess in his heart.

He thought Umalu must be thinking about leaving the Forbidden City.

Although he knew that Umalu was already his concubine in this life and had a status, and he could only leave the palace unless he died, but he was unavoidably unhappy.

He planned to chill her for a few days, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't intend to bother her when he thought that Concubine Tong Jia and Concubine Yi were pregnant.

After much deliberation, I thought of Empress Xiaozhao. Empress Xiaozhao was the most considerate in her life, and her sister-in-law was also gentle, considerate, and understanding.

He finally went to Yongshou Palace.

Liang Jiugong went one step ahead and told people to prepare.

Umalu let Liuli in for a month after she was cold, and Liuli became more and more disciplined.

Umalu saw it in his eyes and felt a little sad, but he also knew that it was inevitable, so he didn't say anything in the end.

After Liuli was reset, everything went as usual, nothing changed, and she continued to do her best.

Umalu felt that he was hypocritical, and after a few times he hesitated to speak, it was fine.

Fortunately, Wanliuha Liuyan often comes to her palace to chat with her at the moment, which can be regarded as a pass.

When they became bored, they could also play chess. Umalu had nothing to do and taught Wanliuha Liuyan how to play backgammon.

Because Umalu's excuse was a funny way in a certain book, Wan Liuha Liuyan also knew that she loved reading, so she didn't feel anything.

When Wan Liuha Liuyan played with her for the first time, he smiled and said, "It's much easier than playing chess. It's the same when playing chess, even a stupid person like me can understand it."

Umalu laughed and said: "You and I are both stinky chess baskets."

Wanliuha Liuyan smiled for a while, and said: "My Ama taught me to play chess, Malu, when you are free, let's play."

Umalu stroked his hair: "Compared with Go, who is more difficult?"

Wan Liuha Liuyan thought for a while and said, "Go is more difficult, at least I can't understand it."

Umalu asked the question casually, and after hearing her finish, he responded, "Then you can teach me chess next time."

Wan Liuha Liuyan agreed.

The two of them were chatting idlely, and for some reason, they got involved in the matter of talented scholars and beautiful ladies.

After Wanliuha Liuyan finished talking about a distant relative of hers, Umalu sighed.

The distant relative of Wanliu Haliuyan's family also has a small land, and wanted to marry his daughter to a wealthy family, but for some reason, that daughter fell in love with a poor scholar, saying that she was monogamous, so she must be the only one , I really love her, and I insist on marrying her.

But that was all before she entered the palace, she doesn't know what is going on now.

Umalu sighed and said: "Miss Qianjin's life as a commoner is a monogamous and wealthy life. If it is true that men farm and women weave, it is just that they have read a few books and feel that they can bear it. But they couldn't take it."

"They don't know that their hands, which they have taken so much care to maintain, will become cracked." She said in a nonchalant tone, "They have been dazzled by a few books about wit and beauty, thinking why? Mrs. No. [-] Scholar, she thinks that sweetness is mixed with oil, and love will last. But she forgot to see big mansions when she was young, and only saw women's tricks. But I don't know, when men become cruel, they sometimes kill their wives and children."

Wan Liuha Liuyan hesitated to speak, she didn't know whether she should interrupt, if they were still the same as before, she could of course interrupt.

But now, one is just a permanent presence, and the other is a concubine.

She hesitated.

I just heard Umalu continue: "In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it was written that Liu An killed his wife. In the early years, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't even eat. Look at those history books, it's all about changing sons to eat, tearing bones For cooking."

Having said this again, Umalu inevitably felt a bit tired: "What they think is that this man has a little family background. But they don't know that the rich farmer's family even has two concubines. Only those who can afford one wife , and there is also the matter of pawning a wife."

"It's not about saying that the poor are cheating and the rich have a conscience. It's just that when people are so reduced that they can't even eat enough, they don't mind cannibalism. Who cares about your love." Umalu said slowly. Said, "Thinking about it, they are just relying on the subsidy from their mother's family. They want everything, but they are also selfish."

It was not enough for Umalu to think about it, and added another sentence: "A man occupies a high position, why should you grant your wish of monogamy. It is yours, not his."

She played chess leisurely.

"You don't have to think about it. When that Empress Zetian Shunsheng was the emperor, she had a lot of faces." Umalu said, "If you think about it, if a woman is in a high position, because of social conditions, or because of herself, I'm afraid there are very few people who want to be a couple forever."

"What kind of love? Love is all vain." Umalu didn't bother to say, stopped and took a sip of water.

"I thought I was the most eccentric, stubborn and arrogant." Wanliuha Liuyan looked at Umalu, "Even Yueyue is a little bit more aggressive than you. You are the one who behaves the most But..."

She sighed softly, and persuaded instead: "I lost my eye. It's just...Malu, from now on...you should change it."

She asked her to change her temperament, so as not to be aggressive, she only asked her to live in the palace.

Wan Liuha Liuyan thought, maybe it's like this, the most disciplined people are often the most rebellious under the skin.

A great rebel, on the contrary, will not show a maverick attitude.

Wan Liuha Liuyan looked at the person in front of her, and sighed softly again. If it wasn't for Umalu's behavior today, she would not have known that Umalu would have such rebellious thoughts.

Even, in her eyes, Umalu is the one who adapts best to this palace among them.

But she didn't know that Umalu had known for a long time that only by obeying the small rules can he violate the bigger rules.

Hearing what she said, Umalu knew that she couldn't accept her own thoughts, but she was not disappointed, so she said: "I just know a few words indiscriminately, and I have thought about some things, and I am rushing to talk to you here. I won't talk about it again."

Wan Liuha Liuyan felt relieved upon hearing this.

Umalu smiled, and told Wanliuha Liuyan about Concubine Yi's pregnancy.

Wan Liuha Liuyan sighed: "I've heard about her, and said she has the most romantic temperament, and she is very kind to the people around her. Although she is a bit headstrong, everyone in her palace likes her."

In the end, he came to the conclusion: "He is a good person."

Umalu looked at her secretly, feeling pity for her in his heart.

Wanliuha Liuyan originally had the same temperament as Yifei.

Wanliuha Liuyan is the unfavored concubine Yi, and Yifei is the favored Wanliuha Liuyan.

Wan Liuha Liuyan didn't know her thoughts, so she chatted with her for a while before leaving.

Not long after she left, Kangxi came to visit after a few days.

Not long after Kangxi came back from Wutai Mountain, he came after he had finished dealing with political affairs, so he was inevitably a few days late.

After Kangxi sat down, he said to her: "I should have taken you there this year to escape the summer heat, but I have wronged you."

"There will be opportunities in the future." Umalu persuaded him with a smile instead.

Hearing what she said, Kangxi recalled the past again. He held her hand and sighed: "I didn't give you the power to control the six palaces. I have wronged you."

"Don't be wronged." Umalu said softly, "The servant is not a slick character, and he can't do everything like sister Tong Jia. If the master really allows the servant, the servant will not be able to do well. It is not as good as it is now."

Kangxi knew that she was smart, so there was nothing he could do wrong, and now that he was stepping down, he couldn't help feeling more and more sympathetic to her, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Between them, there was always more silence than talking.

After being silent for a while, it was Umalu who said: "Master, to escape the summer this year, why don't you take Wanliuha from the servant's palace with you, and when she comes back, tell her to tell the servant, so that the servant can hear something new. .”

"Alright." Kangxi agreed.

After a long silence, Umalu asked tentatively, "Master, are you going to see sister Tong Jia?"

"I want to go." Kangxi seemed to think of it, "I will teach him to read for the fourth child, and I will ask him to study in the Shang Study Room next year when the preparations are completed. Now it is inconvenient for you and the imperial concubine to ask him to study. , save yourself some effort."

Nowadays, most of the princes and princesses have prepared some people to teach in their respective palaces. With the number of children increasing, Kangxi felt that it would be good to have a unified place to study.

Umalu has no objection to reading: "You are right, there is nothing wrong with reading more books."

When Kangxi heard the words, it was inevitable that Meng Lang said: "Then what kind of trick did the concubine read?"

"The servant can only know a few words, turn over a few pages of the book, and don't ask for a deep understanding. It can't compare with the master's knowledge." Umalu smiled lightly, "Don't make fun of the servant."

"I thought that all the truths in this world are in the books. If you read more books, you will always understand some truths." Kangxi only mentioned it a little, but didn't care, and then asked, "The prince has come to see me these days. Have you ever been?"

"Come here a few days ago."

"That's good."

The two really had nothing to say, and Kangxi left first.

Liuli remained silent, Baozhu hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.
