The Virtuous Concubine

Jue Chan stood up as she was told. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and gratitude, which made people feel pity for her. "Your Majesty, I am a newcomer and there are still many things I don't understand. I hope you will be more tolerant and give me some advice."

Huipin smiled when she heard it, with a smile full of generosity and kindness like an elder sister: "Well, now that you have entered the harem, we are all sisters, you don't have to be too restrained. This Zhongcui Palace will be your home from now on. If there is anything you don't understand or something is not good, just come and tell me directly."

After hearing this, Jue Chan smiled with gratitude: "I understand. Your Majesty's teachings will be kept in mind."

Huipin nodded gently and looked at Juechan with gentle eyes: "You are extremely beautiful, it is reasonable for you to be favored. I also hope that you can do your best and bring vitality to Zhongcui Palace. But today I also want to tell you that it is easy to gain temporary favor in this palace, but to maintain it for a long time, you need a lot of other things."

Jue Chan lowered her head slightly, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "I know that I am not very talented and well-educated... But I am willing to study hard and strive to live up to your expectations."

Huipin was even more satisfied after hearing this: "It's best that you think this way. Well, there are still many days to come. I guess you must be tired after serving the emperor yesterday. Go back and rest first and adapt to the new environment. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to teach you the rules and etiquette of the harem."

Juechan bowed again, then slowly retreated and returned to her own back hall surrounded by palace maids.

Malu had no interest in reading any further and asked Bai Xia to prepare another bowl of shredded chicken porridge for her. Bai Fu was standing by and saw that Malu looked a little depressed and felt a little anxious. She knew that Malu's mood must have been affected by the title of Jue Chan, so she asked softly, "Madam, is there anything on your mind?"

Malu sighed softly and made up an excuse: "Nothing, I just heard Bai Xia talking about Jue Chan and it reminded me of the time when I first entered the palace. Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, there is a new person in the harem."

Bai Fu nodded in understanding and said softly, "Don't worry, madam. Your position in the harem is secure. With the Fourth Prince and the little prince in your belly, there's no way you'll be wronged."

Malu nodded: "You are right, for the sake of the children and myself. I should not let these things affect my mood. These things are useless to think too much."

Bai Xia came over with a bowl of hot shredded chicken porridge. The small kitchen had been cooking several kinds of porridge, and she only needed to add some shredded chicken and ginger, which was very quick. Malu took a deep breath of the aroma of the porridge, and felt much better, so she started to eat. The steaming hot porridge seemed to dispel all the haze in her heart, and her mood also became brighter.

Seeing that she was eating happily, the system thought that she might not be angry with him anymore, so it asked Malu carefully: "Do you need to continue watching someone? Or do you want to buy some props?"

Malu sneered and retorted: "What's the use of those props of yours? After taking so many pills, you still can't beat others. You lose, you lose, you are defeated."

The system was a little embarrassed: "Oh, I was just joking. You are different types and it's not easy to compare. And it seems impolite to compare." The system just realized that Malu seldom compared itself with the concubines in the harem. No matter whether it was appearance, status or food, clothing and treatment, Malu seemed to have only his own goals, and rarely interfered with the favor and fertility of other concubines. He only intervened because Jingyi was his good friend.

Among the first few hosts of the system, the one who was closest to success sterilized the concubines in the harem, and then sterilized the male protagonist of the small world after giving birth to a child... Although he was eventually executed by the emperor, it can be said that he saved a lot of trouble. Many hosts will also take action in advance, at least to reduce a few threats to their favor.

The system continued: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. In the harem, everyone has their own role and destiny. Instead of comparison and jealousy, it is better to focus on your own path. You have been doing well all along, and I shouldn't have said that."

Malu heard the system give in, but he was unwilling to let it go: "So are you going to compensate me?"

Seeing that Malu's mood had improved, the system could only reluctantly bleed him: "Okay, okay, what do you want?"

Malu gently stirred the porridge, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I don't need props for now, you can owe them first! Or next time I do anything, can you do it for free?"

The system sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Next time if you need anything, I'll do my best and serve you for free."

Malu smiled with satisfaction. She was not really angry in her heart. She just felt that this kind of small fight with the system was also a way to adjust her mood. And she couldn't cure Kangxi now, so how could she cure you, the broken Tongzi? She thought to herself that she would also keep Kangxi's matter in her account and settle it one by one later.

"That's settled. Now go away! I want to eat." Malu's attention returned to the chicken porridge in front of him. But Malu was destined not to be in a good mood today, because of the news that Liu Ma brought when she delivered food to the small kitchen of Yonghe Palace at noon - the Uya family's surveillance and investigation of the Imperial Hospital had successfully achieved zero results.

Malu patiently gave them more than a month, but in the end, nothing was achieved. She shook her head helplessly, feeling deeply disappointed with the powerlessness of the Wuya family. She originally thought that the reason why there were few outstanding figures in the history of the Wuya family was because of the bad relationship between Xiao Sier and her, which led to the decline of the family. However, the reality is cruel, perhaps it is because all the Wuya family members are useless. . .

It shouldn't be the case, but the person in charge of investigating this matter was not her shrewd grandfather Ecan, but her father Weiwu and brother Baiqi. Ecan didn't go in person because, on the one hand, he was old and exhausted by the affairs of the imperial kitchen; on the other hand, the affairs of Sai, Li and Mayanzhu had made him angry many times, which really hurt his health, and he couldn't run around anymore.

E-Chan had good intentions in asking Weiwu and Baiqi to do this. He hoped that Weiwu and Baiqi could share more of Malu's burden, so that they could at least get along better on the surface. However, the performance of these two people once again proved their incompetence.

Malu took another deep breath. She felt that she needed to eat two more bowls of shredded chicken porridge. When Xiao Si'er grew up and wanted to challenge the throne, she couldn't just rely on the strength of her and Yinzhen! She knew her son was reliable, but when he ascended the throne at the age of 43, she would be 60, so what was there to do?

She still had to find a way to develop some power outside the palace, and she couldn't let Kangxi know. It's so miserable for a woman whose natal family is not strong enough! But now Xiao Si'er has just started to learn to walk, so she can plan slowly. Thinking of this, she decided to get up and see her son first, otherwise she would really be pissed off by these men around her.

Malu stood up and walked across the courtyard to the side hall where Yinzhen was. Dachun was using a small rattle to attract Yinzhen to come over. However, Yinzhen ignored her and just sat there, looking at Dachun with his narrow and long eyes that were unique to the Aixinjueluo family. Malu couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Her laughter attracted the attention of Yinzhen and Dachun, and both of them saw Malu smiling outside the door.

After exempting Dachun from the ceremony, Malu squatted down, stretched out her hands, and encouraged her son to walk towards her.
