Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 35
(1)

Bumbutai was pregnant, but the emperor and queen didn't pay as much attention to Hailanzhu's pregnancy. They even thought that Bumbutai's pregnancy was brought by the eighth prince born to Hailanzhu, so they loved Hailanzhu's eighth prince even more .

"This is the prince of the Qing Dynasty bestowed by God." The emperor and empress were ecstatic.When the eighth son was three months old, Huang Taiji made him the heir to the throne.

On the day when the eighth prince was established as the heir to the throne, Huang Taiji also gave a big banquet to the officials and gave amnesty to the world.

"The mission of our Horqin people has finally been completed." Empress Zhezhe summoned Hai Lanzhu and Bumbutai to the Qingning Palace again, looked at the nieces sitting on the left and right, and burst into tears with excitement.

Hai Lanzhu maintained her inherent tranquility and smiled slightly, but there was also a hint of arrogance in that smile.She glanced at Bumbutai, and said lightly: "Empress Empress, aren't the concubines here for the mission of our Horqin people? Fortunately, my stomach is strong and the emperor loves me, so I have the Eighth Prince."

Bumbutai also had a smile on his face, but that smile was very stiff.

The three aunts and nephews in the room were all smiling, but they had different plans in their hearts.

"Concubine Chen is a great hero of our Horqin people." Queen Zhezhe took Hai Lanzhu's hand, only seeing Hai Lanzhu, as if Bumbutai on the other side of her did not exist.

Zhezhe must be like this, must be like this.The emperor appointed the eighth prince as the prince, which not only fulfilled the mission of the Horqin people, but also played a great role in whether she can be promoted to the empress dowager smoothly in the future.However, in order for everything to go smoothly, you need to establish a good relationship with Hai Lanzhu.If Hai Lanzhu relied on the emperor's favor to let the emperor abolish her as a queen, and then replace her, it would not be impossible.

Hai Lanzhu's hand was held by Zhe Zhe. Although her slender hand was obedient and motionless, she was struggling to break free from the bottom of her heart.

Today she is no longer the widowed woman on the Horqin Grassland. She is the most beloved concubine of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the mother of the future emperor.The queen in front of her, her aunt, had already become the woman who influenced her to sit on the throne of queen to her.

Hai Lanzhu didn't pay attention to Bumbutai who was sitting on Zhezhe's right.Even if Bumbutai's belly is not Gege but the prince, it is not a threat to Hai Lanzhu.What's more, Bumbutai's pregnancy was brought by her eighth prince. She felt that Bumbutai should be grateful to her.

Bumbutai sat there silently, not moving or speaking, just looking at Zhezhe and Hai Lanzhu with a smile.Her face was calm, but her heart was churning violently.She had been holding back all the time, and after Hai Lanzhu gave birth to the eighth prince, who was made the crown prince by the emperor, Bumbutai never thought of giving up.

"Unless I'm pregnant with Princess, then I'll admit it. If I'm pregnant with the prince, no matter what, let him compete with the eighth prince. Just like the contest between Dorgon and Huang Taiji, in the end Huang Taiji Hasn't he won the favored Dorgon? No one knows who will win or lose until the last moment!" Bumbutai said ruthlessly in his heart.

Others don't know the change in Bumbutai's heart, but Su Mo'er, who is guarding outside the door, understands it.Looking at Bumbutai who was treated like nothing by the queen and concubine Chen, Su Mo'er was very aggrieved.

Standing outside the door like Su Moer was Hai Lanzhu's personal maid, Mingzhu.Ever since she stood there, Mingzhu's eyes have been rolling around.On the one hand, she was paying attention to the situation in the room, and on the other hand, she was paying attention to the changes in the expression of Su Mo'er who was standing with her.

Seeing the anger in Su Moer's eyes, Mingzhu suddenly whispered, "Su Moer, it seems that I did not follow the wrong person."

Su Mo'er glanced at her, didn't speak, and looked ahead expressionlessly.

Mingzhu's kindness when she was on the grassland has disappeared.After Hai Lanzhu was favored and the eighth prince became the prince, Mingzhu seemed to feel that she had reached the sky in one step.Not only did she feel that she was superior to them in front of her servants, she even ignored some concubines who were neglected.

"Do you know?" Mingzhu looked at Su Mo'er and said with a half-smile: "When I was still at the chief's house in the Horqin Grassland, I also had the opportunity to be the current concubine Zhuang and the former Ergege's personal maid. As long as I tell her , the belt in her hand was embroidered by me, so I can go to her side."

Seeing Mingzhu mentioning the belt, Su Moer turned to look at her. Mingzhu continued, "But based on my vision, I soon discovered that Da Gege is more blessed than Er Gege. So, I said Er Gege had You embroidered the belt, that's why Er Gege went to the laundry room to find you."

Su Mo'er sneered: "You're right, I embroidered the belt in Er Gege's hand."

"But I can definitely say that I embroidered it, and I can even say that I embroidered the two belts. If I said that, where are you now?" Mingzhu said with a sneer.

Su Mo'er stared at her, she never thought that Mingzhu was such a person.

"I misread you." After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she turned her attention to the three people in the room. She didn't want to talk to Mingzhu anymore.

"Hmph! Who is to blame for your clumsy eyesight? Besides, in the laundry room, didn't I help you too much? Didn't I teach you all your embroidery? If it weren't for me, would you be here now? Would you be here in Zhuang Concubine's house?" Next to the empress? Will you have the opportunity to design clothes? Will you be named a female scholar by the emperor? Just dream! You may never enter the palace, and you will always be in the laundry room, the lowest servant. Hmph! That's all, it's so rude."

After Mingzhu finished speaking, she glanced at the queen, concubine Chen and concubine Zhuang in the room and said, "Did you see it? Even the queen is respectful to my master. So I will tell your master in the future if you want Live a good life and don't fight against my master."

"Against?" Su Mo'er glared at Mingzhu: "When did my empress oppose Concubine Chen? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" Mingzhu sneered again: "When my mother was pregnant, she wanted you to serve her for a few days. Go over there, stupid girl. Isn't this against my mother?"

"Nonsense!" Su Mo'er was so angry that even though she suppressed her voice, she was heard by the three people in the room, and they looked towards the door together.

"What are you arguing about outside? Who are you talking nonsense?" Empress Zhezhe snapped.

(2)

Su Mo'er and Mingzhu hurried in and knelt in front of Empress Zhezhe, Concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu and Concubine Zhuang Bumbutai.

"What were you arguing outside just now? There are no rules at all. Is this where you guys quarreled?" Zhezhe's face was flat.Hai Lanzhu's expression didn't change, she just glanced at Bumbutai.

Bumbutai looked at Su Mo'er nervously.

"Su Mo'er, what happened?" Bumbutai asked.

"Your Majesty, nothing... nothing happened." Su Mo'er didn't know what to say, she couldn't say what Mingzhu said in front of these three people.Even only Bumbutai, she can't say, she doesn't want to make Bumbutai angry.

"What's going on? Pearl." Hai Lanzhu said slowly.

"Empress! Empress!" Mingzhu raised her head, glanced at Zhe Zhe and Hai Lanzhu, and then lightly swept Bumbutai out of the corner of her eyes: "Just now this servant told Su Moer to take good care of Concubine Zhuang, this servant Said that Concubine Zhuang has lost weight. He also said that if my concubine asked her to take care of her last time, if she could go, she would have experience in taking care of Concubine Zhuang now. I didn’t expect her to scold the servants and talk nonsense.”

After Mingzhu finished speaking, she gave Zhezhe and Hai Lanzhu an aggrieved look.At the same time, Zhezhe and Hai Lanzhu remembered the scene when Su Mo'er was asked to go to Guanju Palace last time, but Bumbutai insisted on not letting him go, and their expressions changed at the same time.Zhezhe said angrily: "Mingzhu just told the truth, and it's also for the good of your mother, why are you so presumptuous, a slave? You still want to make a loud noise, how can it be proper?"

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Bumbutai again: "The servants in your palace are getting more and more unruly! Come here!" She shouted.

Several maids, mothers, and eunuchs all ran in from outside.

"Drag this presumptuous girl out and fight twenty times!" Zhe Zhe shouted.

"Empress Empress." Bumbutai stood up suddenly, and was about to plead with the queen, but the queen glared at her and shouted loudly: "Don't you discipline her, why don't you let me discipline you? You can't say anything today , drag it out!"

Su Mo'er raised her head in shock, and said again and again: "The empress, the concubine, the empress, the slaves are wronged, that's not the case."

"Wronged? Who wronged you? Do you mean that I wronged you?" Zhezhe became even more angry.

"Empress Empress." Bumbutai wanted to kneel down, but was supported by several maids.

Su Mo'er was so frightened that she knelt and moved to Bumbutai's side, but was also stopped by the girls.

"Sister, the Empress taught the servants a lesson, why are you still protecting her? It's nothing more than protecting, why do you still kneel down for a servant? Don't you know that you have the royal blood in your belly?" Hai Lanzhu Speak slowly.

When Zhezhe heard Hai Lanzhu's words, he became even angrier.

"Don't you hurry up and drag this unruly girl out for this palace? You'll be locked up twenty times, and you won't be allowed to eat for two days." Zhezhe's voice began to change, screaming, which was extremely ear-piercing.

Su Mo'er was anxious when she heard that, she kept kowtowing on the ground.

"The queen, the queen, the servant is guilty, the servant is guilty! The servant implores the queen to beat the servant sixty, seventy, or even a hundred times. You can also make the servant not eat for three days, but don't lock up the servant .If the servants are locked up, who will serve the empress."

"Presumptuous!" Zhezhe clapped his hands and said loudly, "Do I need a slave to teach me how to do it?"

"The empress, the empress, you must not shut down the slave. You can punish the slave in any way you want, but the slave has been serving the empress since she was a child. The empress is now pregnant with royal blood, so there can be no problems!" Su Mo'er was still going on. He kowtowed and begged, blood oozed from his forehead.

Seeing Su Mo'er like this, Bumbutai's heart tightened and he didn't care. He saluted again and said, "Empress, Empress Chen! This concubine cannot leave Su Mo'er. It doesn't matter if there is a problem, who made the concubine fail to teach the servants well? But the concubine is pregnant with royal blood, so there can't be any problems!"

Concubine Chen looked at Ming Zhu who was kneeling on the ground, and Ming Zhu was also pale with fright, so she knew that Ming Zhu must have lied just now.Although she didn't know why Su Mo'er didn't defend herself, once the matter got serious and the emperor found out, she might be implicated as well.So he said: "Empress Empress, my younger sister is pregnant, please spare that unruly girl below her!"

The queen originally made a big fuss just to get angry last time, but now when she heard Concubine Chen say that, she stepped down and said, "Okay! Since Concubine Chen pleaded for her, it's also in the face of the prince that Concubine Zhuang is pregnant with." Come on, this slave will not be locked up. But beatings are unavoidable, so just follow what this slave said, fight fifty times, and you are not allowed to eat for a day!"

"Thank you empress, thank you concubine Chen." Su Mo'er looked at Bumbutai with tears in her eyes, and was dragged out.

Bumbutai sat there, listening to the sound of Su Mo'er being beaten outside, his eyes became sharp.

(3)

Su Mo'er was carried to Yongfu Palace in the end.At this time, Su Mo'er had passed out, and her buttocks were beaten bloody.Nanny Gui came with Su Moer, who was sent by the queen to monitor Su Moer.

"She is not allowed to eat for a day! If you violate the law, I will hold you accountable." Empress Zhezhe ordered Nanny Gui.

As soon as he saw Su Mo'er brought in, Bumbutai immediately ordered the maids and nuns to carry Su Mo'er back to the bed, followed by himself, and then ordered the doctor who had been waiting in Yongfu Palace for a long time to show Su Mo'er Wound.

This doctor was brought over by Bumbutai when Su Mo'er was still being beaten.Hearing the sound of Su Mo'er being beaten in Qingning Palace, Bumbutai's heart felt like a knife was twisted.She excused herself from being uncomfortable and wanted to go back to Yongfu Palace.

"You are doing this for that girl who doesn't know how to behave!" Queen Zhezhe was upset.

"Empress, my concubine is not feeling well. I feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time while pregnant. Presumably the empress Chen also knows it!" Bumbutai gave Hai Lanzhu a cold look.

"Empress, since my younger sister is not feeling well, let her go back! Here, she also feels uncomfortable when she hears the servants around her being beaten." Hai Lanzhu said softly again.

"Then you go back. This little servant will not be imprisoned here in this palace, and I will be carried back later. Don't feel bad about punishing her." Zhezhe said, his voice was ruthless.

Bumbutai just nodded.After saluting, with Jiu'er's support, he hurried back to Yongfu Palace.

As soon as she returned, she arranged for Jiu'er and the servants to call a doctor for Su Mo'er, and waited for Su Mo'er to be sent back after the battle.

After seeing Su Mo'er's injury, the doctor quickly prescribed medicine for internal and external application.After Jiu'er got the medicine, she hurriedly put it on Su Mo'er together with Wang Momo in the palace.

Looking at Su Mo'er's blood-soaked trousers, Bumbutai's eyes turned red.

While Jiu'er and Wang Momo were hurriedly applying medicine to Su Mo'er, Bumbutai stood there all the time, even though Jiu'er and Wang Momo persuaded her to go back to her room to rest, she would not leave.She said that she would instruct them to apply medicine to Su Moer, otherwise they would hurt Su Moer, and Su Moer would suffer even more.

After applying the medicine, Bumbutai asked the others to leave first, and gave Jiu'er a few low-key instructions before sitting by Su Mo'er's bed.Looking at the sweat oozing from Su Mo'er's forehead, Bumbutai sighed softly.

Su Mo'er, who was still in a coma just now, seemed to hear Bumbutai's sigh.Opening her eyes slightly, she looked at Bumbutai who was sitting by the bed. She grinned and called out "Niang Niang", and was about to sit up when Bumbutai held her down.

"Lie down quickly! Does it still hurt?" she asked.

Su Mo'er grinned again.

"It doesn't hurt!"

"It still doesn't hurt. After so many blows and so much blood, can it not hurt?" Bumbutai's eyes overflowed with tears.

"My lady, it really doesn't hurt. I'm sorry to make you..."

Before Su Mo'er could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Bumbutai.

"You don't need to tell me. I know. Mingzhu must be lying, and she must have said something about me, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry."

"No, ma'am!" Su Mo'er's voice was choked up.When she was beaten just now, she didn't shed a single tear, but now the tears flowed down like water from a gate.

"Okay! If you don't tell me, I won't ask. Take a good rest and wait a while..." Bumbutai didn't finish her sentence because she saw a figure shaking by the window.

She stood up slowly.After walking out of Su Mo'er's room, she saw that Nanny Gui, sent by the queen, was pressing her ear to the window, eavesdropping on what was going on inside.

"Mummy Gui!" Bumbutai called out.

Nanny Gui was startled.

"Concubine Zhuang!" she whispered.

"It's rare for Nanny Gui to come to our Yongfu Palace. Don't stand here, come to the palace room. There are some good snacks in the palace room, and I want to give them to Nanny Gui." Bumbutai knew that Nanny Gui had The problem of gluttony, he said.

"Thank you, ma'am, villains don't eat." Although Nanny Gui said so, she followed Bumbutai.

Seeing Nanny Gui leave, Jiu'er quietly walked out of the dark with the food in hand, and quickly entered Su Mo'er's room.

The food that Jiu'er was carrying was specially ordered by Bumbutai to the small kitchen. He said it was a supper for her, but it was actually for Su Mo'er.

When Su Moer saw the food Jiuer brought, she refused to eat it.

"You can't eat it. If Nanny Gui sees it, you will be implicated." Su Mo'er said.

"This is the empress's special order. You must eat it. Only when you are full can your body recover as soon as possible, so that you can serve your empress better." Jiu'er persuaded her.

"Ma'am!" Su Mo'er called out, tears streaming down again.
