The Virtuous Concubine

In the past ten years, he had never stopped reading and practicing calligraphy. The system also unlocked the library and calligraphy courses for Malu. The library was all-encompassing, and most importantly, all books were in electronic format, so Malu could read books at any time when no one was around.

However, you can only search for book titles, and you still have to read the content yourself. But Malu is very satisfied. When the library function was first unlocked, she stayed up for two nights to read modern romance novels to get rid of her addiction to mobile phones!

The calligraphy course is similar to the embroidery course, but Malu knew that his energy was limited, so he only practiced the regular script of various masters. He especially loved the regular script of Zhao Mengfu and was deeply influenced by him. His characters are vigorous and elegant, with strict structure and mature brushwork. He even practiced to the level of passing the system certification and being able to sell them in the mall.

This was a pleasant surprise for Malu. When she started practicing calligraphy, she would also do some copying of books, especially Buddhist scriptures, the Four Books and the Five Classics, to save some money and read books for free. Later, when her calligraphy became better and better and the money earned from her embroidery shop became more and more, she stopped doing it.

After all, having good handwriting is also a kind of trouble! The system reminded her that handwriting that is too outstanding will only attract other people's attention. She will be a concubine in the future, and it is not appropriate for her handwriting to be leaked.

After he stopped copying books, Malu only wrote inscriptions, couplets, and poems, and then sold them all to the system, finally earning some points. But Malu gave all these points directly to the system.

It's not that she's being hypocritical or a saint, but she found that the only things she can buy now are some skin care, beauty, and fertility pills or jewelry. These are not her immediate needs.

She has a very good foundation, and her appearance is first-class gentle and tender, unlike other Manchu women. She has paid attention to maintenance and conditioning over the years, and her skin, manners, and temperament are already very outstanding. If she is too beautiful, I am afraid that the selection will add too many twists and turns.

Now Aunt Hongyu reminded her to be low-key in front of others when she enters the palace. So Malu decided to buy these pills later, and become the most beautiful concubine after becoming a concubine, but now she still needs to develop in a humble way.

As for giving it to the system, it was actually because she had built a deep friendship with the system over the past ten years. The system had always been there to analyze and advise her seriously, and was not stingy in sharing information, nor was it in a hurry to urge her to complete tasks and earn points.

More importantly, every time when Liu Yuan was about to collapse from the day-to-day life and was incompatible with the deep-rooted hierarchy of the people around her, it was the system's enlightenment that made her survive. The system was her only friend in this alien space.

So when she knew that the system also needed points to maintain energy and grow, she gave the points she got from selling the copybook to the system that was almost ready to upgrade.

After signing the donation agreement, the system was offline for a full week to complete the upgrade. After the upgrade, it responded faster and had additional detection and recording functions.

The detection function is still very vague, mainly to further amplify Maru's perception of people, objects and the environment. At present, it will only make Maru feel a little more alert when there is danger around. However, the recording function is very practical. You can put labels and notes on different objects and people, such as name, function, purpose, background, etc.

It's because Malu's brain capacity is limited. It's a bit hard to learn so many things and remember so many people and things at the same time. Life is simpler now, so it's okay, but the complexity will increase greatly after entering the palace, not to mention if you go to more worlds. So the system is grateful for Malu's generous gift, and specially selected these two functions that will be more useful to her in the future when upgrading.

Malu actually didn't know any of this, he just started to use his brain capacity with great interest, labeling any person or object he saw, so that next time he saw the same thing, he could choose to expand the note he had previously made.

As they were playing, Malu suddenly had an idea and crushed a Yinqiao Jiedu Pill that she had just marked and sprinkled it into the tea. Sure enough, she could unfold the labels of jasmine tea and Yinqiao Jiedu Pills! !

There are so many things that can be used for this, such as marking some common poisons or spices and other common palace fighting props, so that she can avoid them in time! And all the ingredients she has seen are marked, so she can basically recognize what ingredients are used in the recipe by looking at the dish!

This made Malu, a foodie and chef, very excited. She cooked a dish almost every day over the years. Usually, E-Chan would teach her how to cook it once, and then she would practice on her own for a few days. When she was satisfied with the cooking, she would ask E-Chan for guidance and improvement.

The dishes made during the practice were naturally eaten by myself on the first day, sent to my father Bai Qi on the second day, and given to my mother and Mayan Zhu on the third day, as a favor. After persisting for so many years, although Sai and Li were still partial, they also took better care of Malu.

But Malu doesn't care about it.

Mayanju, under the guidance of Aunt Hongyu and the strict supervision of Ecan, has become much more sensible. Although she still feels a little jealous every time she sees Malu's excellence and beauty, she has begun to speak and act in a methodical and measured way, and is not as annoying as before. Sometimes Mayanju even persuades Sai and Li not to do some unbelievable petty behaviors.

Sai and Li had mixed feelings about the growth of their two daughters. She was happy that both daughters grew up to be beautiful and talented, but she was angry that her daughters had their own ideas and did not listen to her, and had become "strong-willed".

Moreover, the success of the two daughters after leaving Sai and Li’s upbringing actually meant that Sai and Li were failures as mothers. Of course, Sai and Li would never admit this, and would still publicize that “the daughters are sensible and never made them worry.”

In fact, if she really interfered with or even controlled the training and education of the two, Malu and Mayanzhu would never be as outstanding as they are today. Malu once couldn't help but complain to the system: "Some people are really not suitable to be parents. If you are really reincarnated into such a confused family, you must find a way to make your own choices for life. If you listen to your parents, you will be doomed."

Ecan also understood this, so he hoped to arrange the family affairs before he fell. He knew the problems of Sai and Li, so he secretly arranged a marriage for Mayanzhu early on, and when Malu was fifteen years old, he wrote Wuya Malu's name in the first place when reporting the list of candidates.

This was not the first time that Saihe Lishi was slapped in the face by her father-in-law, but she still couldn't get used to it. She initially thought that entering the palace meant serving others and living a miserable life in fear, so she was unwilling to let Mayanzhu go.

Mayanzhu was the most caring daughter she had raised! Although she had some quarrels with her when she grew up, it did not affect her continued partiality to Mayanzhu. Later, she slowly realized that the way her father-in-law taught her rules and trained her talents was not training a palace maid.

It's obviously training a concubine! Then this is not suffering, but overwhelming wealth! She is naturally partial to Mayanzhu for such a good thing. Besides, Mayanzhu has been learning these things all the time. Although she is not as good as Malu, isn't Malu one and a half years older than Mayanzhu!

Moreover, Malu and her have been indifferent for many years, but in reality they have become more distant. If Malu, a daughter who is not close to her, becomes the empress, then the influence and power she can get will be limited. Unfortunately, she just had the idea and before she could do anything, she was strangled to death by the vigorous and resolute Ecan.

But after being angry for the whole afternoon, she felt that it was not a big deal. She could just send both daughters to the palace so that they could take care of each other. Two concubines in one family, what a glory! So she cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself, insisting on rejecting the marriage that Ecan had chosen, saying that she couldn't bear to part with Mayanzhu and wanted to stay for a few more years.

Ecan had no idea what was going on in her mind, and seeing her crying so bitterly, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. He thought that although she had many shortcomings, she was still sincere to the child. Plus, the election was approaching, and he didn't want anything to happen at home that would delay Malu's participation in the election, so he had to agree.
