The Virtuous Concubine

Kangxi was a little worried about Malu's condition and urged Liang Jiugong: "Tell the doctor to come and give me a report after the examination. I won't turn over the cards tonight. I will stay in the Qianqing Palace."

After saying that, he stood up to review the memorials. Liang Jiugong heard it and said, "Okay!"

This young lady asked the emperor to make an exception time and again. Even palace maids were not allowed to see the imperial physician, not to mention that she had said "little imperial physician" before, and then changed her words in the next sentence, not only did she not mention the word "little", but she also had to be of a rank that could answer the emperor's questions.

It's only afternoon, and I'm already thinking about meeting him in the evening! Liang Jiugong was already a little accustomed to the emperor's behavior. He looked at Shu Yu, gave Shu Yu a thumbs up, and turned around to make arrangements.

Liang Jiugong was listening carefully nearby. This Aunt Shu Yu had been speaking for Miss Malu from beginning to end. What did she mean by "tired"? It was just such a coincidence that she was so tired that it made the emperor feel that he was very capable and felt sorry for him, and at the same time it did not affect his nighttime sleeping with her.

Isn't it all thanks to Aunt Shu Yu's description? Thinking of this, Liang Jiugong admired his old colleague a little. Women are still very careful, and they easily cultivated a future concubine to help them.

Shu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Liang Jiugong's strange behavior. She packed up the tea-making utensils and went to find Malu.

Shu Yu naturally knew that Liang Jiugong could see clearly. They were all servants, so who didn't know what she was thinking? Her previous decision to help Malu was not a whim, but a hidden worry in her heart.

She was brought up by Aunt Hongyu. Aunt Hongyu was the person she admired the most. She was prudent, thoughtful, good at networking, and hardworking, which was why she could make it out of such a family. But even such a good person couldn't stand the loneliness in her old age. She couldn't take care of her in a timely manner.

Fortunately, it turned out that it was the Wuya family who needed Aunt Hongyu, so she took over. Aunt Hongyu raised the two young ladies of the Wuya family and they had a stable backer.

What about yourself?

She had carefully observed the three Yu'ers below. They were all experienced, but their cunning and talent were not enough to manage the entire tea room. No matter how carefully she cultivated them, they could barely take on the role, but it would definitely be a struggle. Of course, she could ignore the next candidate and let the emperor choose one.

For Shu Yu, the most important thing is the character of these three people. She doesn't believe that any of them can support her until the end of her life.

She had originally thought that she could see if there was anyone she could take in as an apprentice, but she didn't expect to meet Malu. As a female official who had served in front of the emperor for so many years, Shu Yu knew that Malu was definitely a good material for being a concubine, and she could also see that Malu must have come prepared.

The servants of the Qianqing Palace were strictly forbidden to have any contact with the concubines in the harem, but what if this concubine came from the Qianqing Palace and they had a relationship? As long as Malu was well, the Uya family would be well, and he and Aunt Hongyu would have someone to rely on.

Aunt Shuyu walked quickly and arrived at Malu's small room in no time.

Of course, Malu didn't know that she had become the retirement insurance of many people, but she could see from the favorability analyzer that Aunt Shu Yu's favorability towards her was as high as 72 points.

But Malu complained: "Is this accurate? How come Aunt Shuyu's favorability is not as high as Aunt Liu's?"

System: "Madame Liu's boss is your grandfather, so it's normal for him to be a little taller."

Malu thought about it and smiled as she welcomed Aunt Shuyu into her room. Aunt Shuyu glanced at the layout of the room from the corner of her eyes and became more determined in her mind.

"Do you feel better now?"

Malu nodded: "How can you be so delicate? There is nothing to do. What do you want to tell me, aunt?"

Shu Yu taught her: "You, it's fine if you say this to me, but don't ever say this in front of the emperor. You have to take care of yourself, so that others won't treat you badly."

Malu also understood, and in a playful mood, he leaned over and began to act pretentiously: "Yes~ The maid helped her up weakly--"

Aunt Shu Yu burst out laughing: "What a clever guy! The emperor really asked about you today."

Malu also smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank my aunt for helping me to make this happen."

Aunt Shu Yu was relieved to see how smart she was. "I just said you felt tired, and I put you on my stomach to rest. The emperor cares about you very much, and he has called the imperial physician to see you, and he will personally inquire about you. He will probably call you in the evening."

Malu really wanted to give Aunt Shuyu a prize after hearing this. This was too amazing! She really had the emperor in her hands. She was worthy of being an old aunt with many years of experience.

But Aunt Shuyu is not that old. Thinking of this, Malu looked at Aunt Shuyu carefully. Aunt Shuyu didn't understand what was going on with her and asked her, "What are you doing, girl?"

Ma Lu didn't dare to say that she was thinking if Kangxi and Aunt Shu Yu were together, would the situation of Concubine Wan Guifei in the Ming Dynasty reappear? She just said nonsense: "I wonder how Aunt Shu Yu was born with such a kind heart!"

After hearing this flattery, Shu Yu just spat at her: "Really, you are about to become an empress, but you are still so unruly."

Malu quickly took Aunt Shuyu's hand and said, "I will always be Aunt's Malu."

Shu Yu was happy that she could say that, but she couldn't take it seriously. Shu Yu quickly held Malu's hand in her arm with her other hand, and tried it to find it was still warm. She then reminded him, "Get ready first. The doctor should be on his way here now. Remember to look surprised, understand?"

Ma Lu nodded, sent Aunt Shu Yu away, and sat back to draw flowers. The next things were arranged, and all she had to do now was to make Kangxi happy.

Seeing that there was no one around, the system reminded Malu: "Aunt Shuyu seems to want to seek refuge with you."

Malu also noticed that Aunt Shuyu treated her well, but she had always thought it was because of her relationship with Aunt Hongyu and didn't think much about it. Now that the system mentioned it, she felt that what Aunt Shuyu did for her was indeed far beyond the limit of loving someone and loving everyone in their house.

Malu asked, "Why would she come to me? I am still a lowly maid, using contraceptive soup and having an affair. What does she think?"

System: "That's why I want to remind you to be careful. If she has no ill intentions, she must be a powerful general since she understands the emperor's mind so well."

How could Malu not know! But she really didn't know what she could give to Aunt Shuyu. She made a note of this matter and decided to talk to Aunt Shuyu about it the next time she saw her. Just as she was about to continue painting, the eunuch in front of Liang Jiugong came with the imperial physician, the bedroom nanny and others.
