Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 102
It's not because she doesn't love, on the contrary, she loves this world, everything and all creatures.

Her love is not a small love, but a kind of great love, like the mercy of the Buddha, like the mercy of the Virgin Mary, and she feels that all living beings are suffering from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, she can always be considerate of other people's difficulties, avoid arguing with others, and leave a little bit of leeway for others.

Her generosity and kindness seem to be the same as Tong Jia's noble concubine and Yi concubine, but they are completely different.

Concubine Yi is naturally kind. Concubine Tong Jia is the noble concubine's compassion for the servants. She treats everyone equally.

She often feels that she has seen a relatively equal age, if she forgets everything at that time and agrees with all the current rules from the bottom of her heart, maybe she really can't go back to that era.

If she gave up everything that represented Umalu, and she obeyed the world and became unrecognizable, would she still be herself?How is she different from women of this era?
But she has clearly experienced another, women can also have their own age; women can also have their own first and last name, not a certain family name; women can also go out to show their faces to do business; women also have the right to choose their own life.

Instead of this, obeying the father at home, obeying the husband when married, and obeying the son when the husband dies, it seems that it is the right age to erase the self and do our best for parents, husband, and children.

But, at the beginning, she wasn't the one who wanted to come.

She didn't want to change at all. If it changed, did Umalu occupy Umalu's body, or did Umalu assimilate Umalu's thoughts?
she does not know.

So she refuses to accept it.

The room was silent for too long.

She withdrew her thoughts.

She smiled softly at Liuli: "Good girl, don't cry, when Baozhu comes back, you should be laughed at by them."

Liu Li choked and said, "I'm not afraid of the slave, but the slave just loves the master."

She knelt and sat beside the bed: "Is it okay for the slave to be with the master for the rest of his life?"

"Okay." Umalu replied with a good temper, "Then I will trouble you to train a few more people for me. The fourth brother has the imperial concubine to worry about."

She chattered about these things, when Baozhu came back, she stepped forward to listen.

Umalu glanced at Baozhu and continued: "Lao Liuhe still needs you for this."

Liuli also saw that Baozhu had returned, and said, "Brother Liu has been taken care of by Yin Shuang'er these years. There is no credit, but hard work. I plan to take her more in the future."

Umalu is absolutely everything.

Seeing that she was sleepy, Liuli hurriedly waited for her to rest.

When Concubine Yi and Concubine Niu Hulu got the news, they each had their own thoughts, but Concubine Tong Jia's guess was right, they are now a month old, so how could they be willing to come out when they are afraid of something going wrong?Also refused.

Although the imperial concubine Tong Jia knew it, but Umalu had just left, so she couldn't avoid the comparison. She also knew that Umalu wanted something from her, but at least the man put on a show.

She knew in her heart that it was not right for her to compare herself this way, but she couldn't help thinking this way.

She shook her head secretly, amused in her heart.

At night, after Yinzhen woke up, he heard the news about the imperial concubine Tong Jia, and cried to go back.

Umalu asked Baozhu to take some court ladies and eunuchs, lighted the palace lanterns, and carefully sent him back.

As for how the Chengqian Palace greeted them in great numbers, there is nothing to say.

Yinzhen was happy to see Concubine Tong Jia, and he circled around Concubine Tong Jia, refusing to leave no matter what. It was Concubine Tong Jia who later mentioned that he had to go to school tomorrow before he would go to bed.

Inside the Yonghe Palace, Liuli called carefully and poured another glass of water for Umalu.

Umalu took it, took a sip, and then said: "When will Baozhu come back, when will you tell me."

"Yes." Liuli stepped back and waited at the door.

Umalu leaned on the bed alone, staring at the void, silent.

When Liuli came in, she told her that Baozhu had returned, and mentioned Chengqian Palace's momentum a few more times.

Umalu murmured: "That's good."

She just lay down to rest.

The time goes by five or six days.

On Mount Wutai, Monk Xingchi was reluctant to see Kangxi and the others.

Although the Empress Dowager was accompanied by Gege of Xianfu Palace and Gege of Chuxiu Palace every day, she still had something on her mind, so she couldn't avoid asking a few words. But still a little sad.

Kangxi persuaded: "Grandmother, don't worry, grandson will find a way."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "How long have we been out?"

"It's been two months." Kangxi calculated the time, "We can stay in Mount Wutai for another month or so."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and persuaded: "Knowing your filial piety, just don't miss the government affairs."

Kangxi hurriedly said no.

The Empress Dowager also mentioned: "It's better to have both rain and dew in the palace. I see that Su Zhen'er and Bao Yin are both good boys. Make this old woman happy, and you should also pay attention to it."

Kangxi pretended to be helpless and said: "The four of them are pregnant this year, isn't it enough for the grandson to be exposed to both rain and dew?"

The Empress Dowager knew that he was avoiding the most important, but she was telling the truth, and she didn't want to annoy him, so she turned a blind eye, picked it up high, and put it down gently.

The Empress Dowager said nothing, and drove him out to deal with political affairs.

Although there are ministers of state affairs who temporarily handle state affairs for him, some events are too important and still need to be brought before his eyes so that he can pass them by.

Although this move is a bit of a waste of time and money.

However, even though Kangxi traveled with selfish intentions, he also wanted to see the lives of the people, so as not to live in the Forbidden City for a long time and be deceived by the officials below.

He is not by nature a lord of extravagance and waste.

During the war a few years ago, he stayed in the Forbidden City without any movement.

In the past two years, San Francisco has been settled, and Taiwan is almost within reach.I dare not say that all the remnants of anti-Qing and restoring Ming have been wiped out, but at least the world will be at peace.

Only then did he go on tour many times.

Kangxi often examines himself, and he feels that when he handles everything, he has done everything with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. Even the historians of later generations will not be able to criticize anything.

What he wants is peace and tranquility in the world, long-term peace and stability, the stability of the Qing Dynasty, and the rest is nothing to worry about.

After he finished processing, he handed it over to the guards and sent it back, attracting Liang Jiugong to inquire.

Liang Jiugong said with a bitter face: "Gege of Xianfu Palace and Gege of Chuxiu Palace went out to play with the Empress Dowager before, and they have already rested after they came back. As for the three permanent masters, they are still in the Library Pavilion and have not come back."

Kangxi was not annoyed either, and cursed with a smile: "They are more leisurely than me."

Liang Jiugong knew that he was not angry. Kangxi had never been a harsh master. The fact that several concubines could do these things was also related to his acquiescence.

Kangxi likes a more relaxed atmosphere.

Liang Jiugong knew about these things, but he was the chief eunuch next to Kangxi after all, so he had to act like himself.

He said: "It's better for the servant to announce the double promise to the emperor."

Shuang promised to be one of Kangxi's lucky maids during this tour.

Kangxi shook his head: "No need."

He said again: "Order two people, and follow me to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to have a look."

Liang Jiugong knew that he didn't want to make a big splash, so he only ordered two people to follow Kangxi to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Before Kangxi arrived, he saw a monk leaving from a distance.

Kangxi stepped up and saw the three of them were flipping through the scriptures, he said with a smile: "You are in a good mood."

The three saluted.

Kangxi stepped forward and flipped a few pages, saying: "You come here often, what do you see?"

Dai Jia Chengyue said: "Sister Rong Concubine loves to copy scriptures, this slave thought about bringing her back a few scriptures that Zhong Cuigong had never seen before."

Wan Liuha Liuyan also said: "Sister De always loves to read books, and she doesn't pick out Buddhist scriptures. She didn't come out this time, so I want to bring her some books back."

Kangxi nodded slightly.

He looked at Wei Jianyue: "Are you also going to bring it to Concubine De?"

Wei Jianyue went out with him last time, and knew that he likes people who talk straight, so he said directly: "Sister De, and Sister Wanliuha brought books back, so the slaves will not join in the fun. It was the emperor who said last time, Ask the slaves to read more books. The slaves are stupid, they forget after reading, and they can write down more while copying."

She has always been a character who does not dare to provoke others. Maybe everyone around her knows her, but she is a little better. She said a few more words, "It is said that there is great wisdom in the Buddhist scriptures, which can open Zhi, the servant followed the two sisters to take a look."

Kangxi was flipping through the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and he didn't listen too carefully, but he was intelligent by nature, and he had already memorized what she was saying, and replied: "It's better to read more, memorize more, I was not smart when I was young, so I just rely on hard work." It’s just come to today.”

"Yes." The three said in unison.

Kangxi told them to disperse: "Go, let's see what we have to do."

The three of them dispersed again, and while talking, they got together again, talking about the allusions in the Buddhist scriptures, not like what they said that they could not read a few words.

Kangxi picked up a copy, it was the "Diamond Sutra", and he flipped through it.

Of course, there is also the "Diamond Sutra" in the palace collection.

However, among the Buddhist scriptures, starting with the Diamond Sutra and the Shurangama Sutra, they are broad and meaningful, and are good books that can be read repeatedly.

Although Kangxi studied Confucianism for a long time, he did not stick to one family. At the same time, he watched Taoist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, and studied Western classics.

If you stand still, you will only die in a prison.

He was flipping through the pages, and suddenly remembered that he saw the monk leaving when he came, so he asked a casual question.

Wei Jianyue said: "The servants don't know who he is, and he was there when he came. There were guards on the left and right watching, so we didn't let anyone chase him away. He only said that he was just a monk, and talked with us a few times. In a word, I sent us a few strings of Buddhist beads. I don’t know the rest.”

They showed him the beads on their hands.

Kangxi didn't take it to heart.

He chose for a while, borrowed a few Buddhist scriptures and went back, planning to watch them at night.

The three of them had already finished their selection, and they were waiting for him.

Several people go back together.

The public wakes up every day during Sanskrit singing, and the people below have already made appointments with vegetable and meat vendors at the foot of the mountain to deliver food, vegetables and meat on time, and cook for themselves.

The few masters are vegetarians every day and are quite devout.

After a long time, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager teased: "It's not bad to be a vegetarian monk for a while after staying in the palace for a long time."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help being angry: "I don't want to say such things."

Kangxi knew that he had violated the empress dowager's taboo.

It was fine if he didn't know before, but now that he knows that his imperial father has become a monk in this Baiyun Temple, he still said such words, isn't it poking the heart of the imperial grandmother?
He quickly apologized: "Grandson will never say such nonsense again."

The empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't help but say a few more words: "You want to be the emperor well, but you can't be like your emperor father, who just gives up the huge country."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "You, the harem needs to be exposed to both rain and dew, so we can't let the palace produce a filial queen."

"Grandson knows." Kangxi hastily persuaded, "Grandson has many children, so don't worry about me."

The empress dowager felt much relieved when she heard him say this: "I always knew you were a filial child, but your emperor's father is in front, and the emperor's grandmother has to be worried, so don't worry too much about it."

Kangxi hurriedly answered yes.

I lived in Wutai Mountain for more than 20 days in a row. I asked him every day, and the monk woke up late and refused to see anyone.

Finally, Kangxi couldn't take it anymore. He stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked the little novice who was taking care of Monk Xingchi: "Ask me, he left this house for a girl, and he didn't even care about his own mother-in-law. You don't want your son anymore?"

The little novice sternly said: "Back to the emperor, the elder Xingchi knew that the emperor would ask him this, so he asked the little monk to tell the emperor that since he is a monk, he doesn't care about his family affairs. Whether it is the country or his parents, there is nothing wrong with having the emperor around." ?”

Kangxi was so angry when he heard this.

Although he hated Empress Xiaoxian in the past, it was only because the emperor's grandmother and empress empress were more important to him, and he also watched helplessly as his biological mother died of depression because of this.

When they mentioned in front of him over and over again what the emperor's father had done to honor the empress, he could not help but unconsciously hate that woman.

But now, at this moment, he did somewhat understand why the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's mother would hate so much when they mentioned Xiaoxian Empress.

At this time, a vicious idea came to his mind, it would have been fine if there hadn't been a filial piety queen.

He took a deep breath, endured the malice in his heart, and let the little novice go in to pass the message: "Go and ask him, his mother-in-law's 70th birthday, and he came here all the way, wouldn't he even want to see her? "

The little novice went in.

There was a stick of incense standing there, and the little novice came out, clasped his hands together and said, "Elder Xingchi invites the emperor and the empress dowager to have a look inside."

Kangxi's heart was agitated, and he hurriedly asked the guards to invite the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager came in a sedan chair, and rushed in with the support of Kangxi. As for the others, including the little novice, they were all locked outside the courtyard.

In the wing room, the decoration is very simple, no different from other monks' Zen rooms, there is a big Buddha character at the entrance, there is a table, there is an incense burner on the table to offer fruits, and a futon is placed under it.The futon was old and mended, as if it had been used for a long time.

The Empress Dowager felt sad: "My son."

The monk who was sitting cross-legged on the ground knocking on the wooden fish raised his eyes to look at her, and then looked back: "There is no son here, only a monk named Wake Chi."

The Empress Dowager has never seen any big storms and waves in her life, but when she heard her child say this, she felt so uncomfortable that she almost shed tears.

　Thank you for the monthly pass for calling me Mr. Chacha
