The Virtuous Concubine

Malu didn't care how Nalan arranged it.

What she needs to think about now is whether she should take the pregnancy-stimulating drug or not.

If she eats it, the Fourteenth Prince must be born earlier.

Malu fell into deep entanglement, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind.

If I take this medicine, I might be able to achieve my wish sooner and conquer the Nalan family, but the risk is also great; if I don’t take it, I don’t know how long I have to wait, and there are many variables. . . It’s hard to say whether Nalan can come next time.

The window period for taking medication is two days.

Just as Malu was hesitating, there was a knock on the door, which frightened her.

"Who?" Malu asked in a trembling voice.

"Master, it's me, Bai Xia." A soft voice came from outside the door.

Malu breathed a sigh of relief and let her in.

As soon as Bai Xia came in, he quickly closed the door and asked carefully: "Yes... Has Master Nalan been here?"

Malu looked a little flustered. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded, deciding not to hide it from Bai Xia.

After all, Bai Xia had seen Nalan confess his love to her at Mulan Paddock before, and she wanted to bring them together.

It was Bai Xia's turn today. After she sent everyone away, she stayed in the house for a long time, which she noticed was normal.

She whispered, "Well, he just left."

When Bai Xia heard this, a delighted smile immediately spread across his face, and he said, "Master, that's great! Young Master Nalan is truly sincere to you, and you and him are truly a perfect match made in heaven."

Malu blushed and said angrily, "What are you talking about? He and I... have different statuses."

Bai Xia took Malu's hand and said sincerely, "Master, in my opinion, Master Nalan is a handsome man and has deep feelings for you. You must not miss him."

Malu was somewhat surprised at the courage of Bai Xia and Bai Fu: "Aren't you afraid? When did you find out?"

Bai Xia saw Malu looking at her, and quickly expressed her loyalty, "Master, I am not afraid. I only hope that you can get what you want and be happy. I can see the affection that Master Nalan has for you. Such sincerity is rare. Even if there are some risks, it is worth it."

Bai Xia paused, and then said: "Although I have never had such a hopeful love, but I am also very happy that Your Majesty has it."

These heartfelt words made Malu feel ashamed.

After all, Rong Ji, whom Bai Xia once liked, had been slept with by her several times. . .

Malu looked guilty and said softly, "Bai Xia, I am sorry for you."

As he spoke, he found two white jade bracelets and a silver note worth 30 taels. According to the purchasing power of the Qing Dynasty, a family only needed taels for a year's living expenses.

This one thousand taels is equivalent to the expenses for more than thirty years!

Not to mention the two bracelets, which are a pair, adding up to about two thousand five hundred taels, which can be easily sold.

Malu has nothing else now except money.

Thanks to Kangxi's rewards and support, the Nalan family, several bannermen families in the Imperial Household Department, the main branch of the Uya family, and the Fourth Prince were also very rich, and their children were all wealth-making boys.

She was always frugal and her expenses were small. She was generous to her servants, so it didn't cost much.

How many ladies would wear a dress worth five hundred taels only once? This five hundred taels is enough for Ma Lu to reward the entire Yonghe Palace twice.

Malu thought that she couldn't give Rong Ji to her, but she could give her money as compensation? With this mentality, Malu stuffed these things into Bai Xia's arms.

Bai Xia usually received many rewards, but such a large reward really frightened her: "Madam, you can't do this! I am not--"

Bai Xia thought it was hush money.

Malu insisted that she accept it, and said that Bai Fu would have some later, so Bai Xia accepted it with trembling hands.

This, this is a lot of money! ! ! !

Bai Xia was a little stunned by Malu's sugar-coated bullets. She had been in this palace for so many years, and it was only in the Yonghe Palace, which was always generous, that she saved more than a hundred taels of silver - the palace's expenses were high, there was nothing she could do.

All of a sudden, just because the master had a private relationship with Master Nalan and I stood on the master's side, I received the silver that I had saved for thirty or forty years?

This kind of impact is equivalent to a modern person who, after working for ten years, is given eight million in cash by his boss and told to work hard.

Bai Xia felt a little dizzy when she walked out.

She thought to herself, Oh my God, if my master could secretly marry a few more young men like Nalan Nahua, then I wouldn't have to worry about anything in my life.

No, I don’t have to worry about it in my next life.

Because what I have now is enough for my lifetime!

At this moment, she had long forgotten Rong Ji's last name or what he looked like. This was probably the confidence of a woman - who needs a husband when you have money!

Bai Xia ran back to the room, carefully put away the banknotes and bracelets, and asked Bai Fu to go see the master to claim the reward.

Bai Fu was a steady person. Seeing her acting so out of control, she scolded her and left. Bai Xia then calmed down a little, but she just couldn't suppress her smile.

Bai Xia sat on the bed, thinking happily: "With this money, life will be easier in the future."

Bai Fu calmly accepted the pair of bracelets and 500 taels of silver from Malu, but was a little surprised: "What good day is today? Did Bai Xia also receive the reward? No wonder she is so frivolous."

Malu smiled and said, "Yes, it's a good day. Thank you for helping me with my previous affairs. This is a little gift from me, take it, and it will be of use to you in the future."

Bai Fu quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master. It is my duty to serve you. It is my blessing to receive such a reward from you."

Malu waved his hand: "No need to be so polite, I remember your kindness in my heart."

Bai Fu carefully put away the bracelet and banknotes and said, "Master, you are so kind. I will serve you even more wholeheartedly."

Malu nodded slightly: "Well, I feel much more at ease with you by my side. Bai Xia... Bai Xia knows about me and Nalan. You don't have to hide Nalan's affairs from her in the future, so that you can have an easier time."

Bai Fu was a little stunned, but still nodded, and listened to Malu's instructions to prepare bathing things for her.

When Malu changed his clothes and prepared to get into the bathtub, Bai Fu realized that it must be Nalan who had come today.

Look at the marks on the master's body, it must be this scoundrel!

Seeing that Malu was still reluctant to enter the bathtub, Bai Fu urged him, "Master, why don't you go in? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Malu sighed. She didn't know whether she should take a bath or not.

As she spoke, she put on her silk pajamas again, turned to Bai Fu and said, "Go, get me a glass of water, and bring me those azure Ru kiln bottles with the name of Hualu on them."

Bai Fu naturally knew that the flower dew contained pills, but she didn't know what the effects of these pills were.

However, Bai Fu still took the things quickly, watched Malu swallow the pill, and got back into the bathtub.

While helping Malu take a bath, Bai Fu couldn't help but say, "Master, Master Nalan is too reckless."

Malu's face flushed and she didn't dare to speak.

Bai Fu pursed her lips and said no more, but her hands moved more gently.
