The Virtuous Concubine

The prince was not polite and strode directly into the main hall after announcing it.

Seeing so many people inside, the prince seemed to be surprised and said, "You are here too!"

Yinzhen just felt that everyone was a little abnormal today. Yinzuo and Malu covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

What the prince said was really novel! Yonghe Palace was their home, so why couldn't they stay there? It was a good reversal of the guests' position.

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, the prince also felt that what he said was a little inappropriate. He coughed awkwardly and said, "I just didn't expect it to be so lively."

After saying that, he sat down directly. Yinzhen's first reaction was why the prince was still so arrogant and looked down on everyone.

But when I saw my mother acting as if it was nothing, I realized that these two people were already very familiar with each other!

At this time, Malu smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, Your Highness, these two brothers are just joking."

The prince nodded and did not join in their conversation. Yinzhen was also a man who understood the meaning of the words, so he naturally pulled Yinzuo back to do his homework.

After everyone left, the prince asked the eunuch Chen Xin beside him to drag a box up and said, "I came back from Jiangnan and brought you some things."

The box was half a person's height. Chen Xin and several other eunuchs carried it in together. When they passed the threshold, the eunuchs couldn't help but shout before they gathered their strength.

Malu looked at the box with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. What was inside?

The prince smiled and motioned Chen Xin to open the box. When the box was opened, it was a mess inside.

There are also some earthy and dusty objects in the jewels and gems, precious jewels and jades, exquisite Jiangnan specialties, and even some small gadgets made by skilled craftsmen.

A box of stuff with complex ingredients, functions and smells.

Malu became even more interested, and directly asked Bai Fu and Bai Xia to take a small stool that Yinzuo and Wen Xian had used, sit next to the box, and take out things one by one.

This is really a treasure chest! Every time Malu takes out an item, he will carefully appreciate it for a while before deciding where to put it.

This pigeon blood ruby ​​can be used to make a pendant, which will be hung on the necklace. Malu should try this Longjing tea. If she doesn't like it, she can use it to entertain the emperor. The sound of this rattle is special. It is not the ordinary dong dong sound. Instead, it will have different sounds as the strength changes.

The prince smiled as he saw Malu happily accepting his gift, and felt that his kindness was not in vain.

In addition to these, there are also paintings and poems written by the prince, but not many - the prince was very busy in his later years and did not have so much leisure time.

Malu took out a set of six colors of rouge, tried them one by one, and simply applied her favorite purple color directly on her lips.

The purple color is not exaggerated, it is pink purple. Looking at this delicate box of rouge, Malu suddenly remembered the colorful blush and lipsticks she bought in modern times, which were finally left at home to gather dust...

After a while, I remembered that when I first came here, there was nothing. All the rouge and powder had to be created by myself from the limited share of the palace maids. I was filled with emotion for a moment.

The prince didn't know what she was thinking and didn't disturb her. He just thought that the purple color was indeed suitable for Concubine De.

Gentle, noble and inviolable.

After looking at them one by one, Malu suddenly remembered something and scolded the prince: "Didn't I accompany the emperor to send them once when I first came back? It cost a lot more."

Malu didn't say this on purpose for the prince to hear. Malu still remembered that the prince had been criticized for spending more than Kangxi.

She felt a little sorry for the little boy in front of her. Looking at the valuable or novel objects in the box, she didn't want to cause any more trouble and give someone with ulterior motives the opportunity to attack him.

The prince was slightly stunned after hearing Malu's words, then smiled and said, "It's okay, these are just things I picked up in Jiangnan, I didn't deliberately spend a lot, it doesn't cost much."

Malu then smiled again: "Okay, then I feel relieved."

The prince saw that she was happy again and whispered, "I know, it's just that when I saw these things, I thought of giving them to you. And I only gave them to you."

After hearing this, Malu felt that the prince was really considerate. She didn't care about the rules and hugged him directly: "Okay, I will cherish it. You must have seen a lot of water town scenery in Jiangnan. Yinzhen always has a stern face, and Yinzuo only knows how to play and fool around. I can only point to you and talk to me."

The prince felt a little embarrassed by Malu's sudden hug and his face turned slightly red.

He calmed himself down, tried to focus his mind, and began to tell what he had seen and heard in Jiangnan. Of course, at the beginning, he only mentioned the grievances he had suffered briefly.

But no matter how hard he tried to hide it, Malu could sense it and patted him on the back as a way of comforting him.

With someone comforting him, the prince could not hold back and spoke in more and more detail, even telling about how he was punished to kneel.

Malu was a little angry after hearing this, she stood up and prepared to go to the Qianqing Palace. The prince was warm and scared when he saw that she wanted to ask for an explanation for him - what if they quarreled, what would he do?

The prince quickly stopped Malu and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry to have made you worry, but it's actually no big deal. It's all over. It's all over, De'er Niang——"

Malu then stopped and compared the Crown Prince's sincerity at this moment with the Fourth Prince's acceptance of the Cao family's surrender. . . . In the end, everything turned into a long sigh.

The prince smiled and took out a round fan from the box to fan Malu: "Okay, Concubine De, please be magnanimous and don't be angry with me. Please calm down, calm down."

Malu glanced at the prince and said, "I'm not angry with you! Besides, aren't you fanning the wind to start a fire?"

The prince laughed: "I should have known not to tell you. Apart from this, everything in Jiangnan is good."

Malu's eyes were full of longing. "Yes, it sounds so beautiful. I want to go to Jiangnan if I have the chance."

The prince smiled and said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take you there."

The two chatted very happily. Since this was the prince's visit, there was nothing shameful, so Malu naturally did not need to hide anything.

While the two were chatting, Yinzhen and Yinzuo happened to come over for morning and evening visits. Yinzuo was sharp-eyed and saw the prince and Malu hugging each other from afar. He opened his mouth in surprise, but quickly pretended not to see it and lowered his head.

When I fell down as a child, my mother would hold me in this way and comfort me.

As expected, she was taking care of the prince as if he were half a child of the Yonghe Palace... It was not easy to tell this to the fourth brother.

When Yinzhen walked over, he just happened to see that the prince was fanning Yinqinmalu!

He frowned, feeling somewhat unhappy, and felt that something was wrong with the scene. But he could not say anything, so he could only pull Yinzuo to the Fourteenth Palace's side hall.
