Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

"People in the world live with love and desire to die. He likes me, and I can do whatever I want. I am afraid that one day, my color will fade and I will love you. In the past, the hibiscus flower has become a weed. , in the end it will become the poison fed into my mouth."

Umalu has never believed in feelings, and naturally he does not believe in love.

Perhaps it was because her parents and friends were always hurting her unscrupulously in the name of love.

She is precocious by nature, and she has seen these intertwined emotions early, so she doesn't quite believe it.

There is nothing more contemptible than the love spoken, but how much can the words be touched, even if it is the actual action?

She mocked and sneered at it.

She thought aimlessly that love was just a false proposition.

She looked away, and told Liuli the story of Peach Bunting.

When Mi Zixia was young and beautiful, he falsely passed on an order to drive the king's car to see his sick mother. After the king heard about it, he thought he was virtuous and filial, and he was willing to commit the torture of amputating his feet for his mother.

The king forgave him.

Mi Zixia was playing in Taoyuan with the monarch. He ate a very sweet peach, so he gave the unfinished peach to the monarch.

The king thought it was because he loved himself very much, and he was willing to give himself something good to eat.

But when Mi Zixia got old, his love was weak and he offended the monarch.

The king said: "This man once gave me a fake order to drive my car, and later he gave me the leftover peaches."

"Could it be that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Empress Chen, who were "one step at a time, refused to return to the car", never had a time of strong affection?" Umalu asked Liuli.

Umalu saw it too clearly: "The emperor treats me like this now because he likes me. But if one day, he doesn't like me anymore, what he is doing to me now will become the "leftover" "My peach." At that time, it's not just me who will be involved. Maybe you, and even the fourth child, Ruyi and the others."

Umalu sighed: "Liuli, tell me, if I am moved, how should I deal with myself at that time."

The love between the wind and the moon is strong, but the love between you and the king is like paper, and it is getting thinner with each passing day.

Umalu looked at her with a smile: "You can live in the palace without being emotional."

She was smiling, but she seemed to have no soul, only a shell left.The soul seemed to look down on everything.

Liuli felt a kind of confusion, she should have persuaded her to think about it, but now she persuaded herself instead.

She stood for a long time.

Umalu smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about me, I will live well."

Hearing this, Liuli once again felt an emotion in her heart, and she finally understood at this moment that this recurring emotion is called fear.

She also finally knew why she felt wrong every time Master De said this.

Because Master De never lived like a person.

Master De is like a god on high, looking down at the joy, anger, sorrow, joy and pain of the world.

Even if these things happen to Master De, even if he really hurts, he will quickly forget about it, accept and deal with it all with a kind of great compassion.

No resentment, no hatred, no joy, no anger, no sorrow, no joy...

Naturally there is no love.

She has never seen a more compassionate person than Master De.

She had been with two empresses, and those two empresses were also very good people and very compassionate, but they were different from Master De's compassion.

Because the two queens are human beings, they will have emotions, worries, and desires.

Master De is like a golden lacquered god statue on a high platform, which is full of desires, but she herself has no desires and desires, just like a fairy in a story who descended to save the world and save people.

The bracelet and the little master kept talking about it, it was more like an excuse.

No, and it doesn't matter at all.

An absurd idea came to Liuli's mind. To Master De, I'm afraid everything is not important, and the matter of being alive is not important.

She lowered her head in fear and pinched her fingers tightly.

That is the human fear of the inhuman.

Umalu called her, and Liuli came back to her senses.

Umalu asked her to bring water, held it by herself, and drank it slowly.

Liuli waited quietly, repeatedly distracted.

In the first month of the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty, under the instruction of Kangxi, enumerated many crimes committed by North Korea, denouncing North Korea as "the master is weak and the ministers are strong", and after arresting the three envoys, they were escorted to North Korea for severe punishment.

The Qing court's repeated slaps in the face of the North Korean monarch and ministers made him extremely humiliated. The King of Joseon even thought that this was an insult that had never been seen since "Bingzi Huan".

However, as Kangxi said, their country is weak and their soldiers are weak, so they can't do anything to the Qing court, they can only swallow their humiliation.

Kangxi asked about the signing of the treaty with the Raksha Kingdom in the court, and learned that it is still under negotiation, and it is difficult to determine in a short time.I will not ask any more.

After the court, Kangxi went to Yuqing Palace to see the prince.

Although the prince went out to study in the pavilion, the lecturers Yin Tai, Tang Bin, Xu Chao, etc. were still explaining to Prince Yinreng.

No other ministers have been selected yet.

Kangxi rested for two days before he started to turn over his cards.

There are also a few people who have passed through the Yonghe Palace, but they have never heard of anyone who is pregnant.

As for the concubines, although they will turn their cards around, they will also stay at the concubines of the palaces.

Umalu was not in good health, and although he came frequently after Kangxi, he only did it two or three times, so he didn't expect much.

In the next three months, when the weather warmed up and all the snow and ice had melted, the empress dowager asked Na Lantu to come to see Umalu with Ruyi in his arms, and Umalu took her to see Changsheng.

Ruyi looked at her for a while before asking her, "My sister is so young."

"You were born so small."

Ruyi was stunned for a while before asking her: "Where is brother? Where is brother?"

Just as Umalu was about to speak, Brother Ying had already arrived with Yinzhen.

After Yingge saw the ceremony, he said to Umalu: "The master knows that the master is here, so he asked the slave to send the little master here."

"Thank you, master, for me."

"Yes."

Liuli asked Zhao Yan and the others to prepare a set of seats and benches outside for Umalu to rest.

Umalu was sitting on a thick cushion, leaning on the couch, with fox fur on his knees, holding Tang Pozi in his arms.

She was getting sicker and more afraid of the cold, so she just sat there and watched Yinzhen playing with Ruyi.

The palace people prepared the paper kite and put it in the sky before handing it to the two children.

The children are very playful.

Kangxi, who went to Changchun Garden on February 22, did not know when he came back, and no one notified him, so he walked in.

Umalu was about to salute, and he supported Umalu who was about to salute.

Zhao Yan and others saw the opportunity and moved out another set of seats for Kangxi to sit down.

Everything is ready.

Kangxi and Umalu watched the two children release paper kites together.

Kangxi said: "I heard from Liang Jiugong that if you fly kites here, I will come."

"Yes." Umalu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, "The slaves are not healthy, so let them go."

"It's kind of interesting." Kangxi sat there, holding tea, watching them put it.

The two of them didn't speak, and neither did the palace people.

A young eunuch stepped forward quickly, and listened to Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong nodded and let him go down.

Kangxi said casually, "What's the matter?"

Liang Jiugong hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "This servant congratulates the emperor, Zhang Jiachang is here."

"You are happy." Kangxi looked at Umalu and asked her, "How do you think I should reward her?"

"She is favored and has children one after another." Umalu said, "It's better to be promoted to the first rank."

Kangxi agreed, and looked at Liang Jiugong: "Let's be promoted to nobleman."

Liang Jiugong went down and ordered people to do it.

Kangxi didn't take it seriously, but chatted with Umalu: "If it wasn't for your poor health, it wouldn't be a bad thing for you to be in charge of the Six Palaces."

"If the slave is in good health, he doesn't want to wade into this muddy water." Umalu didn't care too much, "It's hard to be in charge, no matter what you do, someone will be dissatisfied. At some point, resentment will arise in my heart , It’s a trivial matter to say bad things behind your back, and it’s even more common to make false accusations, so why bother to disturb the tranquility of your servants.”

"You can see through."

Umalu smiled, but did not answer.

That's what Kangxi said.

In the early years, he really thought about letting Umalu manage affairs to show his favor, but now he feels that there is nothing wrong with Umalu's current appearance.

If she is really in charge, I'm afraid that after the meeting, he will talk about the affairs of the sixth house, and he will feel bored and unwilling to see her.

What he always likes is that he can get a moment of relaxation by her side.

Yinzhen is older, and he is releasing paper kites.Ruyi stood aside and watched for a while, then ran in front of Umalu, asking Umalu to hug her.

Kangxi picked her up and put her on his lap, teasing her: "Your mother-in-law can't hold you, let Ama hold you."

Umalu looked at him in a little surprise, then turned to look at Yinzhen.

Kangxi saw it in his eyes and didn't intend to say anything, the palace people just pretended they didn't hear.

Ruyi writhed in his arms, he took out the pastry, and fed her carefully, seeing her eating obediently, his expression softened.

Several people had dinner together, and walked around the Yonghe Palace.

Kangxi looked at the wisteria tree, and said, "Come back to your Erniang Palace in April and May to see it bloom. It's very beautiful."

Yinzhen and Ruyi agreed.

After a few people strolled around, Umalu told Yinzhen and Ruyi a few fables from the "South China Classic".

Yinzhen was surprised and said: "Emiang, is there really someone who is a fish in the water and a bird in the sky?"

"That's hard to say, it's written like this in the book." Umalu touched his forehead and said to him, "If you're interested, just read the book yourself."

"Do you teach children like this?" Kangxi said to Yinzhen, "Don't listen to your mother-in-law's nonsense, don't mess up your temperament because of reading idle books, it's better to read the Four Books and Five Classics."

Umalu did not object.

Yinzhen agreed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Kangxi hesitated for a moment, and asked the palace servants to go back to report, leaving the two children to rest together.He also asked people to put Changsheng in the room, and as for Changsheng crying in the middle of the night, he learned that he had a high fever, and called the imperial physician to be busy for a while, that's a later story.

When all the dust settled, the two children returned to the palace after breakfast.

Kangxi sat there and sighed: "I just realized last night, how ordinary people worry about their children."

Umalu said: "Parents love their sons, and take care of them. If there is any problem, they will be worried, wishing they could bear it for their children. Isn't it true that the Lord loves the prince?"

Kangxi shook his head: "Sleeping with you last night, I just realized what was missing when I get along with him on weekdays. If Queen Renxiao is still here..."

He stopped talking.

Kangxi changed the subject: "I asked the prince to visit you in the palace often, has he ever been here?"

Umalu nodded with a smile.

Kangxi felt relieved.

Kangxi finished his breakfast and rested for a while before leaving.

Liuli asked her: "Master, why didn't you tell the truth that the prince has never been here?"

Umalu asked her to press his head on himself, and closed his eyes to answer her: "The prince was raised by the emperor himself. If you tell the truth, if you fall into the eyes of the emperor, I will become the villain who sows discord. Even if it is finally found out, I say The truth is, every time the emperor sees me, he also feels uncomfortable. What if he also feels uncomfortable when he meets Yinzhen and Ruyi?"

"In this harem, who didn't rely on the emperor to survive." Umalu said calmly, "It's better not to say anything."

"Master has considered everything carefully."

A few days later, Wang Yunjin staggered Wan Liuha Liuyan's arrival and came to the door.

Wang Yunjin brought her some homemade scented tea and a few sachets.

Wang Yunjin smiled and said: "There are some calming flowers in here. I know that my sister can't sleep well, so I sent them specially."

She knew that Liuli didn't want to see her very much, so she just didn't know, and said: "Sister, I will use it after asking the doctor Wang."

She smiled and said, "I only know spices, flowers and herbs, but I don't know anything about Chinese medicine. I don't know if there is any conflict with my sister's prescription. It's better for my sister to be more considerate."

Umalu asked Liuli to take it, and returned her two golden hairpins.

She told Wang Yunjin bluntly: "I think your sachet is exquisitely made, and it smells good. Liuli has been with me for a long time, and she is even closer than my own sister. I want to give her one too. Don't worry." , I will only send her alone."

Afraid that she would mind, Umalu said again: "If you mind, I will send her the one sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a few days."

When Wang Yunjin heard that she was going to give Liuli, he was a little unhappy at first, but when he heard that there was nothing hidden behind her, he knew that it was his petty nature, and all the unhappiness in his heart dissipated.

Wang Yunjin sighed: "Most people's frankness is nothing but brains. My sister treats me honestly and thinks of me in every way, lest I misunderstand, how can I refuse."

Umalu looked at Liuli: "After the doctor Wang examines it, you pick the one you like, and the rest are mine."

She blinked.

Liuli smiled and shook her head.

Wang Yunjin chatted with Umalu for a while, and finally talked about Yin Xi'er.

Wang Yunjin said: "Yin Xi'er is timid, and her sister said a few words, now she is even more afraid to come to see her."

Umalu heard the words and said: "Tell her to come as long as she wants. She will be restrained wherever she wants."

Wang Yunjin said: "I'll talk about her when I go back."

Umalu asked her again: "How about the things you sent home."

"I don't know, I haven't replied yet."

Umalu responded, and then said after deliberation: "The matter of your family should be told to the emperor after all, he doesn't like others to deceive him the most."

She said: "If you tell him yourself, he may not be very happy, but after a while, it will be fine. Our emperor values ​​love and righteousness the most, and will not do anything to you. But if he finds out by himself, there might be something wrong."
