Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Galdan was defeated.

Then hurriedly withdrew all to the mountain.

The next day, the envoy was sent to beg for peace from the Qing army, took the opportunity to cross the Xilamulun River at night with the remnants, fled in embarrassment, and fled back to Khobduo.

When the Qing army pursued, it was estimated that there were only a few thousand people left in Galdan's remnants.

In September, Kangxi returned to the palace, along with a bunch of concubines.

Suzhen is pregnant and has a big belly, so it is inconvenient for her to go out.

After discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, Kangxi came down to court.

A few days later, the Mongolian tribe sent a memorial to ask Urgon to marry the princess.

Urgon has reached the age of twenty, and although he has a bunch of concubines, his position is always vacant.

This year's war with Galdan, the Mongolian tribe also contributed. The marriage between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia has always been a thing.

Kangxi agreed.

After going to court, Kangxi originally planned to go to Yonghe Palace, but after thinking about it, he still went to Zhongcui Palace.

Qingying served tea and cakes, and stood aside.

Kangxi said: "Urgon asks to marry. A few Ge Geli, only the second girl is older, I plan to promise her out."

Kangxi said: "Uergun is the second son of Eqier, the king of Zhasakduoluo County, the grandson of the eldest princess Gulun Shuhui, and the great-grandson of Emperor Taizong. This time he led the Bahrain Right Wing Banner soldiers to participate in the conquest of Galdan. He is a brave man. boy."

There is nothing wrong with Concubine Rong.

Most of the princesses in the palace will be sent to the Mongolian tribe to marry.

She was mentally prepared, knowing that her daughter would not be able to escape.

She said, "But it's up to the emperor to decide."

Kangxi was quite satisfied: "In these days, let her come back to live, and you talk to her more."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Rong asked him again, "Your Majesty, why don't you stay and have dinner together."

"Alright."

There was also a good time between them, and they didn't go to the point where they never saw each other again.

She has always been cautious, not fighting or grabbing, he is willing to give him some favors.

Qingying got the order and went down to find Ergege.

The three had dinner together, and Kangxi stayed overnight in Zhongcui Palace.

The two of them actually didn't have much to say, and the conversation went back to Er Gege.

Kangxi said: "Have you still coughed recently?"

"I changed the doctor and prescribed medicine, and the cough has long since disappeared."

"Yeah." Kangxi closed his eyes and said, "This time the third son came to see me, you raised him well."

"He strives for himself, and the slave has never done anything."

"Ah."

The two stopped talking, shared the same bed with different dreams, and slept on their backs.

Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the wedding etiquette for Er GeGe and U ErGun.

The Ministry of Rites began to organize, select the date, and prepare the imperial edict.

Everything is ready.

To the fourth day of December, the third anniversary of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Kangxi was worried about what happened in the palace, but he still decided to put it behind him after thinking about it.

After all, Yinfeng is his chosen prince.

With a deep sigh, he finally suppressed the strangeness in his heart, hesitated for a long time, and still let Yinrong go to Anfeng Hall to pay homage
During the year, Kangxi came to Yonghe Palace after he was busy.

Not long after Umalu got up, she was a little sleepy, and she was so sleepy that she embroidered one after another. She put down the embroidery and planned to go to sleep.

Kangxi just arrived.

Liuli served tea, Umalu took a sip, and listened with vigor.

Kangxi said: "I chatted with Fei Yanggu a few days ago. He said that his family has a daughter who is about ten years old and has a quiet personality. I will point it out to the fourth child."

"It's not bad." Umalu said, "The fourth child is your child, and your plans for him will definitely not be wrong."

"You..." Kangxi said, "You should ask, it's not interesting."

Umalu looked at him with a smile: "I don't know what kind of person this Feiyangu is."

"His family started out as a military general, with great military exploits and a straightforward personality. He is a good person. The daughter he taught is not a crooked personality. I think this is very good." Kangxi really likes to behave. People, although they may not be rewarded, but they will think of such people first when they have anything.

"That's not bad." Umalu said, "The master's choice is indeed right."

"You..." Kangxi shook his head slightly, and continued, "I plan to make him a riding captain next year."

"Alright."

This made Kangxi unable to answer.

Umalu thought about it and invited Kangxi to play chess.

Chess.

It's just for playing, and you can't be sure whether you win or lose.

Kangxi also relaxed for a while.

Kangxi said intentionally or unintentionally: "I'll ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be more careful. From now on, you don't have to worry about Yuan Qingqing's affairs."

After a slight pause in Umalu's hand, he put down the chess piece.

She said, "Okay."

She was never surprised that Kangxi knew all about her actions.

After all, these were too normal for Kangxi.

You see, if he controls the world, he will naturally control the people around him.

Kangxi stayed overnight.

On the second day, after discussing the government affairs, Kangxi and Ulanara Feiyangu said that they wanted to marry him as a family.

After he left, Umalu told Liuli about this matter: "Since the emperor has opened his mouth, you can let those who stare over there not have to go."

"Yes." Liuli was silent for a while, then worried again, "Does the Emperor not care?"

"Of course he cares." Umalu rubbed his forehead, "But it doesn't matter."

She thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Liuli was moved in her heart, and hurriedly said: "It is a slave's blessing to be able to serve the master."

Umalu asked her to go down first, and she wanted to take a rest by herself.

Liu Li paused for a moment, but said something: "Next year our palace will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for someone."

Liuli knows that Umalu has never cared about these things, but there are some things that need to be understood.

She said: "Among the two people sent by the emperor before, one got sick and couldn't survive. The other planned to leave the palace next year. There was a shortage in the palace again."

Umalu really didn't care, and said after hearing the words: "You can make a decision on these things."

She said again: "When Imperial Doctor Gao comes, ask him to show the sick one."

Liuli hurriedly said: "The servant knew that the master was worried, so he did it earlier, but Imperial Physician Gao said it was a persistent illness and could only be recuperated, and it probably won't get better."

Umalu sighed softly: "That's called the Tai Hospital to prescribe medicine, remember it on me."

"Yes."

In 1691 AD, the 30rd year of Kangxi.

Concubine Rong's second son, Gege, was conferred the title of Princess Heshuo Rongxian in the first lunar month. The auspicious date of marriage is scheduled for June, when she will marry Urgon of the Borzigit clan of Bahrain in Monan Mongolia.

Within a few days, an imperial edict was issued to book Wulanara Jingshu as Yinzhen's concubine Fujin, and she will marry Yinzhen soon.

The auspicious dates for the marriage of these two siblings were both in those years, which is interesting.

For such a happy event, everyone in the palace couldn't help congratulating.

In the past few days, more people went to Concubine Rong's place than to Umalu Palace. Although both of them stayed behind closed doors, Concubine Rong had more communication than Umalu because she was in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces.It's not like Umalu is completely isolated from the world.

Wei Jianyue and Dai Jiachengyue sent people to give congratulatory gifts, and it could be seen that they put a lot of thought into it.

Umalu asked Liuli to put away the things, and she would return them when their son got married.

Tong Jia Cangxue came to see her: "I see that you are a kind-hearted person, so few people come to see you."

She said meanly: "You can see that there are so many ungrateful people in this world, and there is no one who worships the high and tramples the low."

Umalu smiled helplessly: "I am also a concubine, why have I ever been lowered?"

She put down her needle and thread: "In my life, most of the people I met were good people, and some things were nothing."

She said: "If you speak, you are always mean to others. But you have never been a bad person in your heart."

Tong Jia Cangxue waved her hand and said, "It's boring and boring."

She sighed: "If you are like you, you can tell other people's temperament at a glance. It must be boring on weekdays."

She said: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people observe it, there will be no disciples. A few are willing to come to you."

"I just want to be quiet."

Tong Jia Cangxue leaned on the table and blinked: "I have a cousin far away, who is quite similar to your temperament. The usual saying is: I am used to being quiet, and I don't like to go to your non-vanity fair."

Umalu only said: "Everyone has his own destiny."

Tong Jia Cangxue leaned there, and asked her curiously: "Sister De, aren't you unwilling?"

She said: "If you compete for favor, the emperor will definitely be happy."

"Why fight?" Umalu asked her back.

Tong Jia Cangxue choked when asked: "For myself, for my children, and for my family."

Umalu looked at her and shook his head slightly: "Then I don't have to fight. For myself, I am already a concubine, and I can't take a step closer. For my children, the children are already nobles of the heavenly family. The emperor loves you so much, so it is impossible to treat him They are not good. For the family, I Mafa is a third-rank guard and leader, and Ama is a fifth-rank infantry academy."

She asked her: "What do you think I have to fight for?"

Tong Jia and Cangxue were silent for a while: "You can think about it and let it go."

Umalu took a needle and thread, embroidered twice, and said: "A man has self-knowledge. I know that I am mediocre, and I know that there is no one in the family. Even if the wealth comes, the family may not be able to accept it." If you don’t live, you may even encounter disaster.”

Tong Jia and Cangxue nodded in agreement.

Umalu smiled and said: "Since ancient times, there has been no immortal person, nor an immortal country...the so-called yin and yang are nothing but always, have a beginning, and have their own day to end. The glory and wealth turn to the first empty, enough is enough, why bother to fight for it?" Those who do not bring with life but do not take away with death."

Tong Jia Cangxue said: "There is a saying in my hometown: delicacies from mountains and seas, you can only eat three meals a day; there are thousands of palaces and pavilions, and you can only live within three feet."

She sighed: "All the principles in this world are the same, but there are a few people who can let go after being broken."

Umalu said: "That's what I thought. There are thousands of truths in this world. If you can't do it, you can't know it. I can only let you know that there is such a saying."

"Wang Yangming's mind-learning has the unity of knowledge and action. If knowledge and action cannot be integrated, what do you know?"

Tong Jia Cangxue stared at Umalu for a while, and then laughed softly: "Others only say that my sister is sharp-tongued, but because they are vulgar, they can't see it well."

"My sister has a pair of insightful eyes and can see through the essence. The truth is always unpleasant. Others will hear it more spicy."

Tong Jia Cangxue's temperament is a bit weird, she looked at Umalu for a while: "My sister must have been neglected by the emperor several times because of this temperament. But if it wasn't for this temperament, I'm afraid the emperor would not like it at all."

She sighed: "Oh, it's really unpredictable."

Umalu looked at her amusedly: "You, you, with such a personality, it really makes people don't know what to do."

Tong Jia Cangxue said with a smile: "My sister's temper can be called weird."

Speaking of this, she couldn't stop laughing: "The last time I saw her, she was no different from the noble daughter from the family she looked down on the most."

Umalu didn't intend to answer these words, she asked Liuli to change the dish of butterfly cakes: "Try it."

Tong Jia and Cangxue smiled, picked up the pastry and tasted it slowly.

The two chatted.

Knowing that Tong Jia Cangxue came to look for Umalu, Wan Liuha Liuyan, Wang Yunjin and Yin Xier simply gathered together to see the children.

They also met the recent Concubine Tong Jia, and they felt that she was a weird person who didn't talk speculatively, but Umalu was able to chat with her.

Wan Liuha Liuyan said to Wang Yunjin and the others in private: "My sister has such a temperament, as long as she wants, she can easily please others."

Wang Yunjin was thinking about something in his heart, so he could only go along with it.

Tong Jia and Cangxue left after eating in the afternoon.

Brother Ying and Fifth Sister Yan waited for her to leave.

Tong Jia and Cangxue walked out of the palace gate, looked back, waited at the door, watching Liuli she left.

She murmured: "She is also a poor person."

Brother Ying just pretended not to hear.

Fifth Sister Yan is still young, so she couldn't help asking: "Master, do you mean Master De?"

Tong Jia and Cangxue shook her head slightly, but did not speak.

What her sister said was right, this Concubine De was different from other women in the harem.

Compared with indulging in the love of men and women, secular prosperity, it is more like a fairy who has come to the world to experience calamities.

But even if it is a god, if he came to the world to go through calamities, who would not be cut into pieces, dripping with blood, and have to be stripped of his skin and bones, his heart and liver, and his whole body without a good place, before it is over.

What's more, as far as Concubine De could see, she couldn't find a speaker.

Wouldn't it be suffocating to death?
It's better to be a layman.

She walked back slowly in a chariot.

On the 26th of the first lunar month, Hesheli Suzhen, the concubine of Chuxiu Palace, gave birth to a prince.

Liugong sent a congratulatory gift.

This trivial matter year after year has actually become a major event in this deep palace.

It seems that only in this way can there be some disturbances in this boring palace.

At the end of February, when he went to court, Kangxi dropped the memorial and reported the collusion of ministers.

Kangxi reprimanded: "The Ming Dynasty perished in the Donglin Party, and it became common practice to talk freely. They didn't care about the monarch and only cared about their own interests."

He scolded: "The harm of cronies has occurred in all dynasties, but it was even more serious in the late Ming Dynasty. The insiders divided up the party aid, and flew to slander and suppress the insurrection. Until the end of the day, the disaster has been caused for a long time, and it has spread to the country. It has delayed the war opportunity and the country. civil."

Kangxi said: "I hope that you will do practical things, instead of colluding with each other and causing disasters."

Kangxi hated the clique deeply.

He knows that dynasties change, or they die because of the incompetence of the monarch, or because of eunuchs' meddling in politics, or because of enchantresses chaotic the country, or because of cronies in the court.

There are few people in this world who do practical things, and they all do it for their own interests, regardless of others.

He felt that he was a sage and a wise lord, and he restrained eunuchs, and he didn't care about women's sex.

He wanted to become the emperor through the ages, so how could he have the slightest tolerance for it.
