Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 128
Regarding Galdan's rampant southern criminals, Kangxi ordered the recruitment of soldiers and horses on the spot to strictly prevent them.On the one hand, they dispatched troops and generals, preparing to go north to meet them.

This year's Spring Festival, due to the Galdan incident, everyone in the palace is walking on thin ice, and there is no sense of the year.

The past few years have been like troubled times, problems have occurred one after another, and Kangxi has not entered the harem much, and children have not been born as frequently as before.

Kangxi is not obsessed with the matter of extending his heirs, after all, he has enough children now.

Few emperors in all dynasties had so many children.

He entered the harem just to relax.

He was already annoying enough, so he didn't like to see those who competed for favor or those who asked him for things openly and secretly.

He simply went to Nanfu to listen to an opera, or went to Chuxiu Palace to listen to Suzhen'er playing the guzheng to relieve his depression.

After the Spring Festival, Kangxi received a secret report, which said that there were 110 and 22 Tang ships going to Japan, and after being repatriated to the Central Plains, [-] ships chose to engage in smuggling trade.

Kangxi only said to this: "The common people have their own way of living."

At night, Kangxi flipped Yuan Qingqing's sign.

Yuan Qingqing saw that there were palace people on the left and right, so she only lowered her eyes and spoke softly, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.

Under the warm candlelight, the face is blurred, and the face is mistakenly seen in a trance.

She does look like Umalu in four or five points.

The pause in speaking is quite similar to the expression of tolerance and compassion when looking at people.

From top to bottom, she has no self at all, but only the shadow of Umalu.

Liang Jiugong and others withdrew to the outer room, listening to the voice inside, and remained silent.

Have a good night.

Yuan Qingqing is still favored these days.

After Baoyin found out, he only sent someone a bracelet as a reward.

Yuan Qingqing took it, her eyebrows were condensed, she looked at herself in the mirror, her brows and eyes were full of arrogance, she didn't look like Umalu at all.

She blinked, restrained her expression, and made that look, and she looked a little like Umalu again.

She touched her face and sneered.

Oh, the emperor, the man, that's all.

She laughed, almost on the verge of tears.

Kangxi promised Umalu that he would never touch her again.

But he was always in love with her, and he couldn't go to Wushan with her. When he was interested, he would go to Yuan Qingqing's place.

He didn't like Yuan Qingqing very much, it was just because she acted a bit like Umalu.

Sometimes I was too lazy to go to Yuan Qingqing's place, and Kangxi was lucky to visit Wang Yunjin and Yin Xi'er a few times.

Wang Yunjin was originally taught by the Li family to curry favor with Kangxi. He is intelligent and quite interesting.In the past, he was often lucky by flops, and he was also favored.

Yin Xi'er was a bit like Wei Jianyue earlier, Kangxi had no interest after only two visits.

Kangxi has never liked wooden beauties.

There are too many flowers in this harem, if they are not so eye-catching, they will be quickly forgotten by him.

These things were naturally told Umalu, but Umalu never said anything.

Wang Yunjin always felt apologetic towards Umalu, never and dared not show off in front of Umalu.

Umalu had normal intercourse with them.

During the year, Wang Yunjin got the news that Kangxi was going to tour the south from nowhere, so he came here specially.

Wang Yunjin said: "The emperor is going to tour the south, does sister know?"

"The palace has been preparing for it a few months earlier." Umalu said.

"Sister, won't you go?" Wang Yunjin asked after considering it.

Umalu declined: "I am not feeling well, and I have never followed these things."

Wang Yunjin knelt down and said, "My sister wants to ask my sister for something."

"You get up and talk first."

Wang Yunjin refused to listen, and knelt stubbornly: "I heard that the emperor will always pass through Suzhou when he tours the south. I am originally from Suzhou. After being sold into the capital, I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I want to go back and see them." .”

Wu Malu heard the words, only said: "The imperial concubine can't leave in private."

"I want to tour the south with the emperor."

Umalu reminded her: "Even if you follow the emperor Nanxun, with so many palace guards following you, you can't leave easily."

Wang Yunjin nodded quickly and said, "I know all of this, so I want to ask my sister for help."

Umalu quietly waited for her to say the follow-up.

Wang Yunjin didn't talk about the content of her request, but said: "If my sister agrees to me, from now on, I will follow my sister's lead, and the children I give birth, whether it is elder brother or Gege, will only be towards my sister's children."

She is going to put all her wealth on it.

She said: "As my sister said, my sister is now a concubine and can't be a queen. I just made a small promise, and there is nothing I can do to help my sister. I have thought about it for a long time, and only in these things I can do my best.”

She kowtowed again: "I'm not threatening my sister with this. My sister has helped me so much, and I planned to treat my sister like this. Now it's just a frank confession."

"Even if I can't have children, I'm willing to die for my sister."

Umalu managed to intervene: "Get up and talk."

Wang Yunjin shook his head.

Wang Yunjin knelt down and said, "I want to ask my sister to clarify this matter to the emperor for me."

She struggled and tossed and said, "I originally planned to report this matter to the emperor when the emperor has some affection for me. I thought that the time would be long, so I didn't plan to bother my sister. But when I heard that the emperor is going to tour the south, I Can't wait for a day."

Wang Yunjin also had to be cautious.

Her matter is the crime of bullying the king.

The crime of deceiving the king can be big or small.

If it's big, it's beheading; if it's small, it's just being scolded.

Wang Yunjin was originally sent to the palace by Li Xu's family. Umalu's help allowed her to escape from the control of the Li family. She was not at all willing to find another master for herself.

So she gritted her teeth to please Kangxi, wanting to make Kangxi love her a little more, even if it was just for fun.

In this way, when she made it clear to Kangxi, she would not be beheaded.

But now, it is true as she said, since she knew that Kangxi was going to tour the south, she was like an ant on a hot pot, her mind was disturbed, and she couldn't think about those things, so she made a foolish trick and begged Umalu .

She was somewhat grateful and speculative in her heart.

With De Concubine's status and the emperor's feelings for De Concubine, even if De Concubine annoyed the Emperor, De Concubine would not have any serious troubles.

If luck is good, maybe the emperor is willing to take her back to Suzhou.At worst, the emperor will send someone to inquire about her parents and brothers for her.

She thought about this over and over again, and she didn't want to think about the harm at all.

Umalu stared at her for a while, sighed softly, and said after consideration: "I agree with you, you can always get up."

Wang Yunjin kowtowed three times before getting up.

Umalu shook his head slightly: "Although I agree with you, I dare not promise you. This will definitely happen."

Wang Yunjin said repeatedly: "I know, I know. No matter whether it is successful or not, I thank my sister for her kindness. If there is any mistake, I will bear it myself."

What else could Umalu say besides sighing?

Wang Yunjin knew that she shouldn't stay for long at this time, so she withdrew.

On the way back, she thought of a sentence she read in a book: A gentleman can bully others.

She shook her head.

She has felt guilty enough towards Sister De Concubine, she doesn't want to bear Sister De Concubine anymore.

She sighed softly.

It would be great if Sister De Concubine was a bad person, she could take advantage of her without hesitation.

But she couldn't bear it.

She has seen the light of day, how can she wish to return to the darkness.

Umalu drank tea calmly, Liuli stepped forward to remove the teacup.

Umalu looked at her and joked, "I thought you were going to persuade me."

Liuli pretended to be wronged: "The slave persuaded me, but the master never heard of it."

But she laughed again: "What's more, the slave has been with the master for these years, and I can see that the master knows what to do."

"Looking at the dangerous and dangerous, never really hurt the master himself."

Liuli is only three years younger than Empress Renxiao. After entering the palace with Empress Renxiao, she has gone through so many things. She is over [-] years old, she has faded from her youthfulness, and has become more mature and stable.

Although she was a stable person, she is even more stable now.

If there is something wrong, she will know where the problem is when she takes a look.

Umalu shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, and said nothing more.

Sister Xi served Umalu a decoction and waited for her to drink it.

As if remembering something, Umalu said casually: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Li Taiyi these few times."

Sister Xi glanced at Liuli when she heard the words, and withdrew.

Liu Li looked calm and said: "I heard from Wang Taiyi that Li Taiyi went home to marry a wife for the joy, and then there was a wedding and funeral, and he had to stay at home for a year."

Speaking of this, Liuli said again: "The imperial doctor Wang is getting old, and I told the slave earlier that he might be handing over to other imperial physicians in the near future, and in the future, the other imperial physicians will be the master's pulse."

Umalu nodded, Quan Zuo understood.

Changsheng has been raised for more than a year, and now she is carried by the mother, and Umalu also took over and coaxed him for a while, but she was really tired, so she asked the mother to take him away.

At night, Kangxi came.

Talked to her for a while.

It was said that Concubine Yi had contracted a cold and was ill, so she probably wouldn't be able to go.

After hearing what he said, Umalu said a few words on the scene, then changed the subject and talked about Wang Yunjin.

She was honest and frank.

It is said that Wang Yunjin entered the palace as a relative of Li Xu's aunt's family, and his biological parents were other people.Now I want to go back together to meet my parents.

After Kangxi finished listening, he stopped playing with her fingers.

"I know what you're going to say, but I don't want to hear it." Kangxi gagged her before she pleaded first.

Umalu sighed: "I don't plead for her. I just ask my master to find her family members if he passes through Suzhou and Hangzhou during his southern tour."

Umalu didn't expect Kangxi to accept it, it was just a matter of being entrusted with loyalty.

Kangxi let go of her hand, turned and left.

Kangxi stayed at Qianqing Palace at night and invited Yuan Qingqing to sleep in his bed.

Rougher at night.

When Kangxi feels better, put on his clothes and let Yuan Qingqing go away.

Yuan Qingqing put on her clothes and retreated.

Kangxi breathed out lightly, sat for a while, and asked Liang Jiugong to add Yuan Qingqing to the southern tour team.

Because of the urgency of this matter, Liang Jiugong hurriedly called the little eunuch to deal with it.

When Yuan Qingqing was packing things at night, she picked up a fairly gorgeous knife, touched it, and put it back.

In 1689 AD, on the eighth day of the first month of the 28th year of Kangxi, Kangxi began his second southern tour.

On this trip, there were no concubines to follow, only a few low-ranking concubines, Yuan Qingqing was among them.

The concubine next to her didn't pay much attention to her, and she didn't talk to her while talking and laughing.

Yuan Qingqing didn't care either, just looking at the scenery outside.

Plains, hills and mountains, streams and rivers, fields and grasslands.

Stop and go everywhere.

At one place, the royal boat was changed again.

Everything on board is taken care of by servants.

Yuan Qingqing stood on the deck, dazed in a daze.

The cities they passed by were all decorated with lights and streamers, and all the officials knelt down to welcome them, while the common people avoided them.

Yuan Qingqing only felt that it was very boring, but she just kept silent and acted like a normal person.

The few concubines who came out had their own blessings, and Yuan Qingqing was also lucky, but whenever she met her, she was always tossed extraordinarily hard.

Officials along the way also held banquets, danced and danced, and arranged for beautiful women to meet each other.

It's just that when Kangxi travels, he takes his attendants with him, and ordinary people can't get close.

However, he went all the way, and when he returned to the palace, he was fortunate enough to have three beautiful women, all of whom were sealed as promises.

Wen agrees, Chang agrees, Lan agrees.

The three of them were recorded in the register after they returned to the palace, and they naturally followed along.

Everyone agreed that for this trip, the person with the highest status was just a resident, and since he was near Kangxi, there was no possibility of any bullying.

However, she often promised to be unable to understand the affairs of the palace, and wanted to present a song at night to compete for favor, which violated a taboo, and Kangxi asked someone to guard her and not let her out.

Before entering the palace, she was left out in the cold.

From then on, the concubine who came out of the palace hid from the three lucky folks and agreed to go.

The other two folks promised not to dare to fight for favor any more, and stayed honestly.

On the third day of February, when Yuzhou arrived at Hushuguan, many ministers and officials from Suzhou, such as Wang Wan and Gui Yunsu, came to pick him up.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Kangxi and his entourage visited Tiger Hill and climbed to the Longevity Tower.

In front of the building, there is a Yudie plum in full bloom in winter and spring, which is very fragrant.

Kangxi stopped and stared blankly at the plum blossom for a while.

When leaving, after passing the Ershan Gate, local scholars Liu Tingdong, Zhang Sancai and others from Suzhou knelt on the ground and kowtowed to ask for relief from the excess grain collection in Suzhou and Songjiang Prefecture.

Kangxi asked the guards to accept the memorial, and then asked Jiuqing Kedao to discuss the matter as appropriate.

Then leave.

Kangxi asked Suzhou officials to investigate matters related to Wang Yunjin's family that night.

Suzhou officials responded.

Kangxi stayed for a few days, checked the career history of Suzhou officials and the local chronicles of the past few years, and then left.

At that time, Suzhou Weaving had a little relationship with the Li family, and he also got involved in the matter of looking for girls from poor families to train, changing their names and sending them to the palace.

I didn't know what to do, but seeing that Kangxi didn't care, he left for Zhejiang.

Suzhou Zhizao felt relieved, and made an agreement with several other officials, and asked people to pretend to be looking for it, only intending to delay this time.

What's the rest, let's talk about the rest.

On February [-]th, Luanjia and his entourage returned to Suzhou from Zhejiang, where the officials of Suzhou held a feast for the people.

Kangxi agreed, then nodded and smiled on the stage, ordered the left and right guards to take a handful of rice, and said loudly: "May the common people have food to eat."

The people shouted again.

Kangxi took another lucky tangerine, and said loudly: "May you and everyone be blessed."

The officials and the people bowed their heads.

　"Mencius Wanzhang [-]": In the past, there was a pond that gave raw fish to Zheng Zichan, and Zichan made a school for humans and animals.The schoolman cooked it, but ordered him to say: "I will give it up at the beginning, and it will be squandered, and if it is less, it will pass away leisurely." Zichan said: "It's what it is! It's what it is!"

　　The schoolman came out and said: "Who says that the child produces wisdom, and I cook and eat it, saying: 'It's what it is! It's what it is!'"

　　Therefore, a gentleman can be deceived by the right way, but it is difficult to ignore the wrong way.

　　Translation: Once upon a time, someone presented live fish to Zheng Guozichan, and Zichan ordered the schoolman to keep it in the pond. The schoolman boiled the fish, and when he came back, he said: "The fish looked tired at first, but after a while they became free. I felt at ease, and quickly swam to the depths of the pond." Zichan said, "It seems that I have found the place I should go to, I have found the place I should go to!"

　　When the schoolman came out, he said, "Who said Zichan wisdom? I cooked it and ate it, and he said: I found the place I should go to!"

　　Therefore, it is possible to deceive a gentleman with appropriate and righteous methods, but it is difficult to deceive him with unrighteous methods.

　　Gentlemen can be deceived: Gentlemen are upright, and others can use this to deceive them.

　　However, a gentleman knows that others use him to deceive him, but he is like a parent treating a child.

　　Don't parents know the lies that children tell when they are young?
　　Zichan knew that the school people lied to him, so he repeated it twice meaningfully.

　　The school people are proud that they have cheated Zichan.

　　Zichan lost the fish, but the schoolman lost himself.

　　People are both noble and despicable. We should never be satisfied with our despicable selves and mistakenly think that only despicableness is human nature

　　Because nobility is hard to come by, we will pursue and praise nobility, right?
