The Virtuous Concubine

On the imperial sedan chair, Kangxi looked at the prince and suddenly said, "You and Concubine De have a very good relationship."

The prince smiled innocently and replied, "Father, the Virtuous Consort treats me very well, so I naturally have a deep affection for her."

Kangxi naturally thought of his son who had lost his mother when he was young, and sighed.

Although Yinreng has his own father, the Emperor, to take care of him, his father and mother are indeed different.

At this moment, Kangxi even had the urge to promote Defei to noble concubine, so that she could take care of Yinreng with more justification.

However, Kangxi quickly gave up this idea.

If she becomes a royal concubine, I'm afraid she will become too arrogant and may even covet the position of queen.

Let's wait and see for a while! What's more, Kangxi was very satisfied with the current harem structure and didn't want to do anything to disrupt it for the time being.

When the imperial carriage arrived at Yonghe Palace, the prince couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and prepare to visit Concubine De.

Kangxi looked at the prince's anxious back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he followed the prince into Yonghe Palace.

"Mrs. De, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"

Before Malu saw the prince, he heard him shouting loudly in the courtyard of Yonghe Palace - this damn kid!

She hurried out to greet him, only to find that behind the prince was Kangxi!

Malu was slightly startled, and quickly tidied her appearance, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, saying: "I didn't know that the emperor and the prince were coming together. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Kangxi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be polite. The prince and I came to see you on a whim. Are you feeling better?"

Malu blushed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Highness, the Crown Prince, for your concern. I am much better now."

What? I just asked Rong Ji to report my irregular menstruation, why did Kangxi and the prince come to see me?

This is too embarrassing!

It would be fine if Kangxi had come, but why did the prince come along as well!

Little did he know that if the prince had not cared about Malu and insisted on coming to see her, Kangxi would not have come today.

Malu secretly groaned inwardly, and the blush on her face deepened a little.

Kangxi seemed to sense her embarrassment, and he coughed and said, "Just take care of yourself, don't feel embarrassed."

The prince was still confused and just kept saying, "Madam De, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? What did the imperial physician say? I see that you don't seem to be in any trouble!"

Malu was even more embarrassed after hearing what the prince said. She bit her lip gently, and then said to the prince gently, "Don't worry, Your Highness. It's just a minor illness. It will be fine after a few days of recuperation. What's in your hand?"

Seeing this, Kangxi also hurried out to help: "This is the music score that Yinreng and I have revised together. As soon as he finished it, he couldn't wait to let you take a look."

Malu showed a look of surprise and delight at the right moment: "So that's how it is. Let me see it."

The prince excitedly handed the music score to Malu and began to talk incessantly about their revision process and some of the clever aspects of it.

Malu listened carefully, nodding his head in appreciation and offering his own opinions and suggestions.

Kangxi watched their conversation from the side and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

He now understood Yinreng.

Concubine De really gave them both a home-like feeling.

With a virtuous wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

Afterwards, Malu suggested that the prince play the revised song, and the prince readily agreed.

He was naturally the one most familiar with this piece of music, so he began to play it solo.

Malu and Kangxi stood side by side, looked at the prince's serious back and smiled at each other.

The song ends, but the lingering sound remains.

Malu was just about to praise the prince, but the prince suddenly seemed to remember something: "Oh! I haven't even finished the homework that Grand Secretary Tang left for me! Father Royal, Madam De, I'm afraid I can only take my leave first."

As he said this, he winked at Kangxi or Malu, picked up the hem of his clothes and prepared to run away.

Empress De, I have prepared everything for you, you must seize the opportunity!

Kangxi looked at the prince's hurried back and was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing.

Malu was confused: "Your Highness, are you leaving now?"

At this time, only Kangxi and Malu were left in the palace, and the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Kangxi turned his head slightly to look at Malu. After not seeing her for a long time, she looked even better?

Malu blushed and lowered her head slightly, not knowing what to say. Kangxi coughed lightly, breaking the silence: "This child is trying to win your favor, can't you see it?"

Malu blushed when she heard Kangxi's words and said angrily, "Your Majesty, please don't tease me. The Crown Prince is just a child, how can he understand these things?"

Kangxi disagreed and continued with a smile, "Although this child is young, he is very thoughtful. Did he see that you missed me but didn't tell me?"

Malu had no idea what Kangxi was testing.

I swear to God, I have never said such words in front of the prince!

She whispered, "Your Majesty, you are just joking. How dare I reveal my little girl's thoughts in front of the Crown Prince?"

After listening to Malu's words, Kangxi agreed.

Every time the prince came to Yonghe Palace, the people Kangxi placed around the prince would report their words and deeds to him.

There's really nothing special about it.

Kangxi smiled and hugged Malu, patting her: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. But..."

Kangxi leaned close to her ear and blew gently: "Is it really inconvenient today? I miss you."

Oh my god!

Why do they all like to blow air into her ears?

Malu tried her best to suppress her trembling, blushing and whispering, "Your Majesty, I am indeed a little unwell today, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Kangxi still cared about her and asked her, "It's okay. I will wait patiently for a few more days. But, it seems that this day is not usually here."

Malu lowered her head slightly and explained a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, perhaps because I stayed up late to read books recently, my period came a little earlier..."

Kangxi was very particular about health preservation, so he reprimanded Malu: "You, why don't you take care of your body? Don't stay up late like this in the future."

Malu nodded gently and replied softly: "I understand. Your Majesty's concern is in my heart."

Kangxi looked at Malu's face again, and then he was relieved: "You keep it in mind, but you won't do it, right? I think you deserve to be punished. Let the imperial physician treat you more and prescribe some bitter medicine for you some other day, and you will know."

Malu lowered her head shyly, but smiled obscenely in her heart.

Imperial physician or something like that is, of course, the best medicine for treating insomnia.

She huddled in Kangxi's arms and drew circles on his chest with her fingers: "Your Majesty always tries to scare me. How dare I disobey your words?"

Kangxi looked at Malu's pretending to be wronged and couldn't help laughing: "You, I didn't even know you were playing tricks on me. You lit a fire for me, but you're not responsible for putting it out!"
