The Virtuous Concubine

Kangxi knew about this earlier than the other concubines, but he chose to remain silent.

He really didn't want the twins' reputation to overshadow the prince, so he did this on purpose.

But his actions did indeed delay the child's development, and even he himself felt a little frightened - Kangxi was also worried that his actions were going against God's will.

Therefore, he did not reprimand Concubine De as the other concubines expected, nor did he directly assign several great scholars to Yinzuo as the Empress Dowager and others expected.

Anyway, the eldest brother is like a father, if the Fourth Prince can't teach well, it is the fault of Concubine De and the Fourth Prince. Kangxi thought secretly, and then he turned the page on this matter in his heart.

Seeing that Kangxi did not interfere, Malu encouraged Yinzhen to teach freely, hoping to teach the twins to be outstanding among all the princes and princesses so as to open the eyes of other concubines.

The Fourth Prince didn't say anything, but his strong character deep down inside made him impatient.

He thought to himself: The princes and princesses I teach must be both civil and military!

When the time comes, I will let my sister shoot the eighth, ninth and tenth brothers, and see how they can save their faces.

Yinzhen thought of his previous life, his eldest and second princes who were weak and died young, and his third prince who was good for nothing except his good health. His teeth were sore from clenching their teeth.

Yinzhen secretly vowed that he would make Yinzuo and Wenxian successful in this life and not repeat the mistakes of his previous life. He taught them more attentively every day and became more strict with the twins.

Seeing that her eldest son had taken full care of the twins, Malu was also prepared to throw the twins directly to the residences of princes and princesses, and let Yinzhen take care of them.

In fact, Malu has complicated feelings towards these children.

Malu had always turned a blind eye to the abnormalities on the Fourth Prince. After all, as long as he could help her complete the task, she didn't want to care too much about some of his strange features.

Yinzhen was her first child, so she naturally placed a lot of affection on him. However, this affection became less pure because of his abnormal maturity and the existence of his mission.

The twins were born to her in order to get the position of imperial concubine. With Yinzhen taking away most of the attention, she didn't actually invest too much time and energy in the twins.

What's more, after the twins were born, her relationship with Kangxi faded a lot, and her feelings for the twins were also slightly affected because their father was Kangxi.

Now that Yinzhen is taking care of them, she can hurry up and give birth to the remaining three children. Otherwise, Yonghe Palace will be full. . .

Malu was thinking carefully when the familiar chirping of crickets suddenly sounded outside the window.

Malu's heart suddenly shuddered.

This is Nalan's secret code!

She calmly dismissed her attendants, quietly opened the window, and whispered to the outside, "It's almost autumn, and the crickets are becoming less frequent."

How could Nalan not know what she meant!

She was blaming myself for changing my mind and for not visiting her often.

Thinking of this, his eyes welled up with tears. He turned over and climbed in through the window, hugging her tightly.

"How could you think of me like this, dear? My feelings for you have never changed."

As he spoke, Nalan hugged Malu tighter.

Malu also choked up a little, her eyes filled with tears. She pounded his chest lightly and said angrily, "My enemy, how can I not have wild thoughts about you? I look forward to your coming every day, but I never see you."

Nalan was distressed and hurriedly explained: "I...something happened at home, so I'm quite busy recently."

Malu raised his eyes, looked directly into Nalan's eyes, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, now that things have come to this, you still want to hide it from me? I have heard that the emperor has granted you a marriage with the daughter of the Lu family. Could it be that you have forgotten about me now that you have this good marriage?"

Nalan looked flustered and said anxiously, "You are trying to hurt my heart by saying this. I have no feelings for the girl from the Lu family. This marriage was ordered by the emperor, and I was not aware of it."

Malu looked at him incredulously, as if she was listening to some shocking joke: "Not knowing? Can you pretend nothing happened just because you didn't know? The emperor has already issued an order, can you still disobey it? You are going to marry her after all, so what are the two of us?"

Nalan tightly grasped Malu's sleeve, his voice trembling: "You are the only one in my heart, and my true heart will always belong to you."

Malu shook his hand off and said angrily, "Sincerity? Can your sincerity change this established fact? You will be married soon, why are you still pestering me?"

Malu originally wanted to take this opportunity to break up with Nalan. After all, an affair should be based on mutual consent and should not hurt others.

She thought that she and Kangxi were of the same kind, but she didn't want to hurt the girl she had never met.

Even if the relationship ends, he can start over.

That's why today, she used all these singing, reciting, acting and fighting to try to make Nalan give up.

Who would have thought that Nalan would kneel down with a thud, crying, "Lu'er, I beg you, don't be so heartless. I swear, I will find a way to solve this matter, no matter what the cost."

Malu rejected him directly: "Solution? What solution do you have? Stop dreaming, go back, forget me, and live a good life with her."

Nalan gritted his teeth and confessed: "For you, I have disobeyed the imperial order and fled the marriage. Even if I have to wander around the world and be wanted by the court, I will not hesitate."

Malu's eyes widened, his face full of shock and fear: "Are you crazy? Disobeying the imperial order and escaping marriage is a serious crime. Not only will you suffer, but your family will also be implicated."

Nalan smiled at this time: "I can't care so much. I can't be with you anymore. If I want to be with someone else, what's the point of living?"

Malu couldn't believe it: "Is this true? Why are you doing this? You are pushing yourself into a dead end."

Seeing her attitude soften, Nalan quickly confessed: "How can it be fake? I have been hiding in the upper courtyard brushing horses for a long time!"

As he said this, he tore off his eunuch uniform and let her smell his scent. Every time he came before, he wore eunuch uniform as a disguise, so Malu didn't notice his shabby appearance.

Malu burst into laughter, covered her nose and scolded him: "Go away, go away, it stinks, it stinks to me."

As he spoke, he looked at Nalan, carefully observing his current condition.

Nalan looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were wrinkled.

One could even tell that he had already cleaned himself up before coming to see her, so at least he wasn't dirty.

Ma Lu felt a pang in his heart, and said softly, "You idiot, why are you so stubborn? Wouldn't it be better to go back and get married? As long as you go back and admit your mistakes, you can still be the Nalan Master with luxurious clothes and food and a bright future."

Nalan looked at her, his eyes firm and fiery: "Don't you know why I'm doing this?"

Malu's eyes were filled with tears, and she was also a little moved at this time: "I know, but the price is too high, I'm afraid you can't afford it."

Nalan kissed away the tears from her eyes, and then kissed her forehead, and then said: "We meet again in the depths of the curved railing, and we tremble with tears in our arms. We should share the same sadness after the separation, and the most unbearable thing is the clear resentment under the bright moon."
