The Virtuous Concubine

Malu, who was being used as a training ground, had no idea that she was riding a horse again after dealing with the Fourth Prince's affairs. There would be no such opportunity when she returned to the palace. She would ride hard and hard until the horse became thin!

Bai Xia was also impressed by the generosity of her own queen: "Doesn't the queen protect the Fourth Prince? Our Fourth Prince has really been wronged."

Malu was concentrating on watching Ma lick the candy in her hand. When she heard Bai Xia say this, she felt sorry for Bai Xia and herself for a second. She knew the son she gave birth to.

If Xiao Si'er didn't hurt others today, she would be very lucky! Who dared to let him suffer injustice? He was so petty that he would take revenge from morning till night. Malu touched Xiao Ma, and Xiao Ma snorted meekly.

Malu picked up the brush again and prepared to brush the horse's coat. He lowered his head to glance at the bucket and sink beside him, but did not touch the brush with water. He continued brushing while saying to Bai Xia, "Of course I know that Xiao Si'er felt wronged, but boys grow up to be tough after experiencing many fights and struggles."

"What's more," Malu continued, "Although Xiao Si'er is young, he is smart and clever, and we don't need to worry about him. He did the right thing this time, but it was a pity that it was useless and he still couldn't stop the eldest prince and the prince."

Bai Xia listened to Malu's words and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with what you said. Our Fourth Prince is so smart, but he is still a child after all. There are some things he can't control. There are brothers in front of him, what can he do?"

Malu nodded, and the brush in her hand gently swept across the horse's back. She turned slightly to glance at Bai Xia and said, "I know you care about him. Go back and make him a butter cake. He loves it."

Bai Xia smiled brightly when she heard this: "Your Majesty is so thoughtful. The Fourth Prince will definitely be very happy." Then the two of them walked towards the tent. After waiting for a long time, a thin and small figure jumped out of the haystack next to the stable!

After a while, Kangxi learned the full content of the conversation and sighed: "Defei is indeed a good person." He originally thought that Defei would hold a grudge because of the matter between the eldest prince and the prince, but he did not expect her to be so tolerant and generous. Not only did she not hold a grudge, but she still cared about the princes.

Kangxi sent someone to eavesdrop on this, and his respect for Concubine De increased a little more. He knew that no matter where she was, it was rare to have such a broad mind and wisdom. Then he asked Liang Jiugong to place this secret agent next to the eldest prince, and let him find a way to get ahead in front of the eldest prince.

Concubine De is now exempt from inspection, but Concubine Hui and the eldest prince are not!

Malu didn't feel relieved until she walked into the tent. Her system had a labeling function, and when she was feeding the horses, she saw cotton cloth and other miscellaneous labels in the haystack!

She guessed that there was someone hiding inside and eavesdropping on their conversation, so she delayed for a while, and even used the excuse of brushing the horse to observe the reflection in the sink.

But she didn't see anyone, the little thief was hiding very well. But it was certain that someone was watching her. Fortunately, it was Bai Xia, the naive girl, who followed her. If it was Bai Fu or Jing Yi, they might have been talking about the abnormality of the Fourth Prince before she found the label.

Malu was checking the surroundings again and again when the system suddenly said, "Do you want to upgrade? The new function allows you to see people!"

Ah——Malu cursed: "Where the hell have you been?"

The system said embarrassedly: "You have done so many good things, and I have gained a lot of merits, which I can use to upgrade." However, there was a hint of pride in its voice, as if it was quite proud of its own upgrade.

The system would never admit that it was because it found that it had enough points one night, clicked the upgrade button, and then was forced to lose connection! During this period, it could not communicate with Maru and could only silently carry out the upgrade process in the background, which was why it did not appear at the critical moment.

After listening to the system's explanation, Malu's anger subsided a little, but she still blamed it a little: "Upgrading is a good thing, but you should at least tell me in advance. You made me worry for so long."

The system quickly added: "I'm sorry, it was my negligence. However, I am smarter now than before and can help you better."

Malu sighed and decided not to pursue the matter further: "Okay, so what new features do you have now? Don't make me wait so long in vain."

The system replied proudly: "Now, I can not only provide more accurate information analysis and more intelligent conversations, but if you are willing to pay, I can also provide scanning and early warning functions, and even provide immediate solutions when you are in danger."

Malu looked at the price and fainted: "The upgrade is great, can you not upgrade the price next time?"

The system protested: "You have one free choice, remember? You can choose one of the three functions, scanning the environment, early warning, and providing solutions, to be enabled permanently."

After listening to the system, Malu's depression was slightly relieved. She re-examined the three functions and thought about which one would help her the most. After a moment, she made a decision: "Then turn on the early warning function. In this palace, being able to know the danger in advance is more important than anything else."

The system responded quickly: "The warning function has been permanently turned on for you. Don't worry, I will monitor your surroundings at all times and notify you immediately if a potential threat is detected."

Malu nodded. It was a good idea for the system. She was too lazy to scan every day, so she would definitely miss something. She didn't like plans. It was too risky to expect the system to give her a plan to turn the tide when the disaster was imminent.

The early warning function is what she likes the most. With the early warning, she can find and deal with problems in time before they become serious. She doesn't have to worry all the time, and it also leaves herself enough space to think and deal with them.

She finally figured it out. Although this system was powerful, more often than not, it was more like a companion, a friend who could chat with her and relieve her boredom in the loneliness of the palace, so that she would not go crazy within the high walls of the harem.

Without those so-called golden fingers, Malu's life was also colorful. Xiao Si'er's cleverness made her worry less. It can be said that he was her biggest golden finger. She believed that with her wisdom and Xiao Si'er's talent, she could handle it easily even in this complicated palace.

However, thinking of this, she still asked the system to exchange one dragon and phoenix twin pill, one girl-birth pill and five pregnancy-preserving pills for her, and then emptied her rouge box and put them in there. Who knows if the system will go crazy next time? It’s safer to stock up first!

The system gave it to her with a grievance, and then suggested: "Can you also exchange the poison for some self-defense?"

Malu thought about it and nodded: "Let's change it! But this thing is harmful to nature. Will there be a price to pay if I use it?"
