Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 145
She handed him a longevity lock.

Doctor Li looked at her silently.

She said bluntly: "Let's meet for a while, maybe it's not enough to give your child a gift."

Doctor Li kept En Liangsheng, who followed him for diagnosis, away.

Liuli looked at him frankly, with a clear conscience.

Compared with the mutual admiration at that time, when she decided to give up this relationship, Liuli had already figured it out.

Doctor Li is a very good person, she is willing to accept him because she likes his character.

She once asked herself, if she were a man, she would also be willing to make friends with Dr. Li.

However, because she is a woman, whether it is her and Li Taiyi at that time, or in the eyes of the world, it seems that there can only exist between men and women, not friendship.

Liuli spoke first, and said calmly: "If I were a man, even if we were against each other, we would never see each other. If I give you this gift, you won't be entangled with it."

Doctor Li was silent for a long time, then smiled slightly: "I loved your transparency and honesty the most back then, and I still do it now. If you were a man, we would be very good friends."

Liuli took back the longevity lock, saluted and said, "I see, I was the one who was abrupt."

She smiled without haze.

At her age, many things became more transparent.

She didn't say anything, and turned away, her back straight, as self-respecting as he had been when he first met her.

He probably deserved it.

There is nothing shameful between him and her.

But he has a wife, and his wife is very good.Xia Fan Pu Fan adds clothes in winter, takes care of household chores for him, and bears children for him.

In the end it was Qimei who raised the case.

It doesn't matter what he wants or not.

He refused to let his wife have the slightest worry.

He watched her go away and saluted her.

Once the red thread of fate is broken, it can never be tied again.

He and she missed each other, so the relationship in this life is broken, and there is no way to make an appointment in the next life.

When his wife gave birth to Lin'er who was bleeding heavily, he had already held his wife's hand and vowed to treat her well, to be husband and wife forever in this life and to the next life, and to treat her well forever.

He bowed again, turned around and left with En Liangsheng.

En Liangsheng looked at him.

He knocked on his head: "As long as you put half your heart into your homework, you won't be at the bottom of the list."

En Liangsheng patted his head and followed him.

After getting the reply from Tai doctor Li, Liuli told the truth.

Umalu was silent for a while, and went to the wing with Liuli.

Song Yi was tied to the bed and gagged.

Li Shu saluted.

Umalu looked at her for a while and let her go out.

Li Shu went out and waited under the eaves, with his eyes downcast, only staring at his toes.

Umalu sat down, raised his chin slightly, and Liuli pulled out the veil blocking Song Yi's mouth.

Song Yi has been sizing her up since she came in, now she shouted: "You must be Concubine De."

Liuli gave her a mouth that was neither serious nor serious.

The palace has never slapped maids in the face, but Song Yi's move was true.

Song Yi was at a loss as to where he was going wrong, his eyes twitched, and he cried and cursed: "I'm just saying something, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped again.

Liuli remained silent, just pressing her down.

Umalu said calmly: "You have committed disrespect and disrespect, and it is forgiveness for you not to go to the Punishment Department."

Song Yi didn't know what the Punishment Division was, and just looked at her with hatred.

Liuli didn't even bother to teach her a lesson, she just stood beside Umalu, accompanying her around.

Li Shu knocked on the door outside.

Liuli went over and came again: "The little master said he would come later."

Umalu nodded slightly, she looked at Liuli: "You go out first."

Liuli looked at Song Yi worriedly: "But she is a lunatic."

Umalu knew that she was worried about him, and after thinking about it, he also kept Liuli.

Umalu looked at Song Yi: "I'll take a look at you, if you contract any kind of madness, you have to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and return to your home."

Song Yi became anxious when she heard the words: "You are just infected with madness."

Liuli looked at Umalu, a little helpless.

In her opinion, Song Yi is crazy or not.

Say she is crazy, she can understand what others are saying; say she is not crazy, every word she said, there is no one who can say it.

Song Yi was still saying: "Women in the feudal society don't know what freedom and equality are. You only know about female competition and men."

Liuli didn't understand.

Just... She can understand every word, but what do these words mean?
What is feudalism?What is female competition?

Umalu said slowly: "Since you look down on us, why should you go to the imperial garden to meet the emperor by chance?"

Liuli then listened to what the mad woman said, "I'm here, so I want to see Kangxi", "brothel", "traveling", these words were incomprehensible.

But no one dared to call the emperor directly, Liuli looked at Umalu in panic.

Umalu looked at Song Yi and slowly shook his head.

Stupid and arrogant.

She didn't even bother to say a few more words.

She said expressionlessly: "Drag her down and stick her to death."

Liuli was slightly taken aback, and quickly went out to let the little eunuch drag her out.

Umalu waited until there was no one in the room, and then said to Liuli: "Scare her, wait for her to go to the side room next to each other."

Umalu calculates the time, dinner is over now.

She said: "Hungry until dinner tomorrow, let Sister Shu feed her."

"Yes." Liuli hurried to go, fearing that if she was late, Song Yizhen would be beaten to death.

Li Shu was outside the door. Seeing Umalu get up, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Umalu go back to the house.

Umalu sat down and greeted her: "Liuli will be busy for a while, you go to the small kitchen to remind her."

"Yes."

Yinzhen said hello in advance, and they came with Yinhu and Jingshu.

Jing Shu has been in the palace for some time, and she is not as reserved as before.

Li Shu served tea and snacks.

Yinzhen put the tray next to Jingshu, Jingshu smiled slightly and ate the pastries.

Yinhu said: "Mother De, I heard from the palace people that a maid of yours has been possessed. Would you like to ask the lama to recite it?"

Umalu laughed and said, "She just kowtowed to the head, and she will be fine after two days."

Yinhu is relieved now.

Umalu said to him, "How is your mother-in-law recently?"

"Okay." Yinhu said with a smile, "She misses Mama De, and said to send some scriptures she copied."

"Then thank her for me."

Changsheng knew that his brother was coming, so he led Yinti straight in.

Seeing that Jing Shu was also there, Chang Sheng let go of Yinti and invited Jing Shu to play together.

Jing Shu was introverted, she looked at Umalu when she saw this, Umalu nodded slightly, and then she went.

Yinhu went down to catch Yinti, Yinti hugged his thigh and did not let go.

Umalu smiled and said, "Go and play."

Several people go down.

Yinzhen stayed alone, talking to Umalu: "Lao Ba asked Lao Jiu and Lao Shi if they wanted to come, but they didn't come."

"If you don't come, you won't come." Umalu said softly.

Yinzhen wondered, "Ereniang won't be unhappy?"

"Arguing about everything, there is nothing left to do." Umalu said disapprovingly.

Yinzhen stopped talking about it, but said: "Son, after reading some "Huangdi Neijing" these days, I wonder if there is really a real person who lives forty-eight thousand years?"

Umalu didn't veto it outright, he just said: "Maybe it happened in ancient times."

She also persuaded him around the corner: "However, such a person has never been heard of since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties."

Even though he said so, Yinzhen had other ideas: "It would be great if there were such people, and then they will be refined according to the alchemy formula. Wouldn't it be possible to make the emperor and Erniang happy for a hundred years?"

Yinzhen was full of filial piety, and Umalu couldn't refuse, so he just said: "You have a heart."

As a mother, she still couldn't bear to persuade him: "Liu Che's mausoleum is full of bones, and Ying Zheng's coffin costs abalone."

"If there is a matter, there will be, if there is no, there will be no, and you must not be overly obsessed."

Yinzhen saluted and said, "My son knows."

Umalu nodded: "It's okay, you can go and play with them."

"Yes." Yinzhen saluted and left.

Umalu waited for him to leave before coughing a few times.

Her health is not bad, but the root cause of the disease has fallen, so she can't help coughing.

Li Shu watched quietly, hesitating whether to pat her.

After Umalu coughed, he took a sip of tea and looked at Li Shu: "How about I promise you to the fourth child as a concubine?"

Li Shu knelt down without saying a word.

Umalu sighed: "Every time the fourth brother comes, I see you staring at him all the time, thinking that you like him and want to fulfill you."

Li Shu opened his mouth to argue, but he still said: "Thank you for your kindness, master."

Umalu said: "Just talk about it, if you don't like it, then forget it, don't be embarrassed."

Li Shu shook his head: "The slave's family is poor, and he can make a living only by running around in business with his father. It is already a great honor to be selected into the palace and serve as a concubine for the young master."

She didn't lie, these are all recorded in the Ministry of Internal Affairs booklet.

Compared with taking care of her younger siblings, she only needs to do some light things after entering the palace.There is also silver that can be sent back.It is already very good to help support parents and younger siblings.

As she said, it is a great blessing for someone like her to be the concubine of the prince.

What more could she ask for?

Is it necessary for her to wait until she is 30 years old to leave the palace, alone and helpless, or marry an old bachelor who no one wants?
She also thought about it day and night.

But she was not reconciled.

If she didn't enter the palace, she could find a well-matched family and marry her, and she would be like that for the rest of her life.

But after entering the palace, she can only be released later, that's the best ending she can get.

No matter how she thought about it, she was not reconciled.

Compared to staying in the palace without marrying for the rest of her life... She thought she was a clumsy person, unable to survive in this frightening palace.

She kowtows to thank you.

Umalu was taken aback by her eagerness to settle the matter.

She said, "Go down and take care of them first."

"Yes." Li Shu withdrew.

The sun was setting, she sat there, the shadows of the sun were mottled.

She realized later that she seemed to be the same concubine in the Forbidden City.

She sat silently.

There was a commotion outside.

It took a long time to quiet down.

Liuli came in to report: "The slave didn't notice for a while, and forgot to gag her, and let her run into the little master..."

Umalu rubbed the center of his brows and interrupted: "What did she say again..."

Liuli hesitated, not daring to speak.

Umalu calmly said: "She said all the ridiculous things before, do you still care about these two sentences now?"

Liuli finally imitated Song Yi and said: "She called to the little master, "You are Yongzheng!Your mother does not love you, I will love you.Your mother treats you badly, I will be your mother, and I will treat you well. "

After finishing speaking, Liuli carefully looked at Umalu.

Umalu couldn't help laughing.

She might indeed be old, and she just thought it was ridiculous.

What kind of person dares to comment without knowing the whole picture after listening to a few rumors.

Umalu smiled for a while, and said, "Shut her up."

"Yes."

Umalu said: "Let Sister Xi grind her temper, you can take her to the Department of Punishment or the Leng Palace to have a look."

Liuli sighed, "The master is kind."

She said: "Which one of the crazy things she said today won't kill her? At worst, she has to be kicked out of the palace."

Umalu shook his head slightly and sighed: "Let's take pity on her, save her if she can. Her family is not well-off, and she was kicked out of the palace. Her parents either tied her up or sold her out for marriage."

Umalu advised her: "In the palace, at least we can see if this madness can be cured."

Liuli nodded: "That's why the slave said that the master has a kind heart."

At night, Kangxi stayed overnight, stroked her long black hair, and chatted with her: "There is a crazy maid in your palace who made a big fuss."

He said: "The queen mother said that it may be possessed, and a lama should be called to exorcise the evil spirit."

Umalu smiled and said, "Old Ba also said that."

Speaking of the eighth child, Kangxi commented: "This child is careful and caring."

"The slave also thinks." Umalu said again, "If you want to reassure the queen mother, it doesn't matter to call a lama."

"Okay, I'll call the Lama tomorrow."

This is settled.

Song Yi's matter was completely left to Sister Xi and the Lama.

In 1693, the 32nd year of Kangxi.

After the first lunar month, Sister Xi came to report that Song Yifeng had recovered a lot from his illness.

Umalu went to see Song Yi now, and Song Yi was much more timid and cautious, looking at Umalu with fear in his eyes.

In terms of behavior, there is nothing out of the ordinary, and the rules are very good.

The lama saluted: "I live up to my trust."

Umalu nodded: "Thank you."

After Liuli sent some silver items, she sent the Lama away.

Umalu sat down, Song Yi stood.

Umalu looked at the wooden table in front of her and asked her, "Do you hate me?"

Song Yi shook her head, and quickly realized that she couldn't see, and hurriedly said: "The slave does not hate the master, Sister Xi and Auntie explained many things to the slave. Only then did the slave know that the master is a very good person. If it weren't for the master, the slave would probably I'll go to the Punishment Department."

Having said that, she couldn't help shivering.

Aunt Xi took her to the Punishment Division, and she saw the palace people who were punished for their mistakes.

Clamps are normal, some nails have been pulled out, and some are bruised.

And those concubines who were neglected by Kangxi stayed at home and were locked in the house, all of them were a little stupid, their eyes were dazed.

Sister Xi and Aunt Xi just told her lightly: "They were all grounded because of fighting for favor."

She shuddered.

This was the first time she realized that she was not the protagonist in any novel, but just an ordinary person.

Ordinary people who will die and be injured, not necessarily where they will die.

　Original text by Ju Xuanya: Found something interesting.

　　In the early Qing Dynasty, there were a group of "merchants" in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These merchants were not the same as the "imperial merchants" in the common understanding. They were ordinary coats without titles in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They have capital or houses, let them go into business and make money.The main purpose is to balance the inventory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and enrich the treasury.These businessmen, just like Bai Tanga and Su La, are a kind of errand, belonging to the bottom of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and their status is relatively low.After the mid-Qianlong period, with the improvement of the operation system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these businessmen did not exist.

　　Interestingly, it was discovered that the merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the early Qing Dynasty could not only make money for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also be entrusted by the emperor or concubine to make money.One year, a certain concubine gave 400 taels of private house money (it was estimated to have been saved for a long time) to two businessmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked them to make money.As a result, the two people did not manage well, and even lost all their capital.The concubine was very angry and told the emperor to ask the two people to be dismissed.

　　Judging from the identities of Concubine Qi and Concubine Song, their elders probably played such a role, and then they got official positions later.

　　"Bitter Days Are Short" by Li He

　　Feiguang Feiguang, persuade you a glass of wine.

　　I don't know that the blue sky is high and the yellow ground is thick.

　　Only when the moon is cold and the sun is warm, come to fry life.

　　If you eat bears, you will get fat; if you eat frogs, you will lose weight.

　　Where is the god?Tai Yian?

　　There is Ruomu in the east of the sky, and a candle dragon is placed below it.

　　I will cut off the dragon's feet and chew the dragon's meat, so that it cannot return to the court and cannot lie down at night.

　　Naturally the old will not die, and the young will not cry.

　　What is taking gold and swallowing white jade?

　　Who is like Mr. Ren, riding a donkey in the clouds?
　　Liu Che's mausoleum is full of stagnant bones, and Ying Zheng's catalpa coffin costs abalone.
