The Virtuous Concubine

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince and Yinzuo couldn't help laughing.

Wen Xian's eyes lit up and he became excited: "Wait a few more days, and I'm sure the Emperor will be amazed."

Malu shook her head helplessly and said, "You just know how to mess around. If you hadn't been able to handle palace affairs well and maintain your princess manner outside, mother would have taught you a lesson long ago."

Wen Xian chuckled: "We can't ruin the reputation of Yonghe Palace and Princess Gulun."

Seeing that his family members were all around him, Wen Xian lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "The Princess of Gulun should be the daughter of the Queen. The Emperor is so stingy. Why doesn't he do it right away?"

After getting her son's assurance, Malu felt relieved and relaxed. She stretched out her finger and gently touched her daughter's forehead, smiling and saying, "You are ambitious, and you are working hard for me. In this case, why don't you help me check the accounts for last month?"

When Wen Xian heard this, she quickly shook her head and said coquettishly, "Mother always orders me around. I'm here to help her with the accounts."

The Fourth Prince did not want to spoil the fun, so he said calmly: "Wen Xian, don't say that again, and don't let anyone show that."

Wen Xianlai nodded in Malu's arms: "I understand, Fourth Brother."

Yinzuo advised her: "Life is good now. If you really...get up every day to pay respects to the concubines, you will definitely not want to get up."

Malu smiled and patted Yinzuo: "What nonsense! When you grow up and join your brother in the imperial court, ask yourself if you are up to it."

Yinzuo scratched his head and said with a smile: "Then I will sleep standing up."

The family was having a great time. Malu made a joke but then warned the two children: "Just a joke, your father will not be crowned as the queen again. Don't think about it, and don't do anything behind my back, understand?"

Yinzhen was sensible and not greedy, but the children were ignorant... Especially Wenxian and Yinzuo, who were very troublesome.

Wen Xian and Yin Zuo saw that their mother had a serious expression, looked at each other, and could only nod.

Malu looked at the two children, feeling both relieved and worried. She was relieved that the children were smart and obedient, but she was worried that they were still young and would sometimes act out of line.

She said softly, "In my heart, stability is the most important thing. Don't pursue those unrealistic things."

Wen Xian and Yin Zuo certainly knew what their mother wanted, and they also knew that for the sake of their beloved second brother, the Crown Prince, it would be absolutely impossible for the Emperor to make her the Queen and allow other princes to become legitimate sons.

But Wenxian and Yinzuo didn't care what the emperor thought. It didn't matter what the emperor thought, but since E'niang didn't want the position of queen, forget it.

Concubine Nianhulu couldn't bully my mother, and the two of them could accept it as long as no one got ahead of her.

Ma Lu naturally knew what the child was thinking, and she let go of him after he said that. Not long after the meal was finished in Yonghe Palace, Concubine Niuhulu was given a two-character title, Concubine Wenxi, and Concubine De was promoted to Concubine De. The decree to retain the title resounded throughout the six palaces in the east and west, and everyone knew about it.

Malu led the children to respectfully accept the imperial edict and gave the rewards according to previous instructions.

As soon as the arrangements were made, people came to congratulate them one after another. For a time, Yonghe Palace was very lively, and concubines from various palaces came to congratulate them.

Fortunately, Bai Fu had prepared in advance, so there was no trouble at all. Some people wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but Wen Xian, the little evil star, was watching closely, so no one dared to act rashly.

After sending these people away and sending away a few of the little brats, Malu collapsed on the chaise longue and breathed a sigh of relief. She just felt that she had been exhausted this day. From the series of events that happened when she sent the soup to being congratulated by everyone, it seemed like a dream. She closed her eyes slightly and let Bai Xia help her remove the makeup on her face.

Bai Xia gently and carefully removed Malu's makeup. When she was done, she whispered, "Doctor Gu is here with his medicine boy."

When Malu placed great emphasis on the word "medicine boy", he knew - but didn't Nalan usually come and go freely relying on his superb martial arts skills and familiarity with palace restrictions?

She opened her eyes and looked at Bai Xia. Seeing that Bai Xia had his head down and didn't speak, she hesitated for a moment and let Doctor Gu in.

After Doctor Gu came in, he knelt down and saluted, then followed Bai Xia to the side room to face the wall. Ma Lu looked closely and saw that the medicine boy was Rong Ji disguised as a ten-year-old boy!

Malu was shocked. She never expected Rong Ji to appear in this way.

It seems that none of Malu's men can escape the fate of wearing medicine boy clothes. She secretly complained in her heart, but in fact she was a little nervous and happy: "Why are you here——"

Rong Ji smiled, took off his hat, put down his medicine box, and then went forward to hug Malu: "It's nothing serious. I caught a glimpse of you at the gate of the Qianqing Palace today. I really missed you so much. You sent someone to ask me about Wang's matter, so I came here. Congratulations, you are now the Imperial Concubine."

While saying congratulations, Rong Ji touched her cheek affectionately.

Malu just felt a little regretful. Why did she take off her makeup? Now she was facing the sky with a bare face. She was tired after a day and must look very haggard.

She sat on the chaise longue, pulled Rong Ji up, and nestled in his arms, smiling and asking him, "How did you convince Imperial Doctor Gu? He was actually willing to cooperate with you."

Rong Ji was a little embarrassed: "I gave him some poison. He couldn't solve it, so he agreed to bring me here. He thought I was your confidant and came to tell you some secrets of the palace."

Malu rolled over with laughter: "When did you learn to do bad things! But he was not wrong, you are my confidant."

She leaned on Rong Ji's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt like she didn't want to say anything.

Rong Ji naturally knew that she was tired, so he massaged her to relax her, and then told her little by little what happened to Concubine Wang today.

Kangxi checked Ping'an's pulse every day. Originally, the judge should have come today, but for some reason, the noble lady Wang who was accompanying the emperor acted coquettishly and foolishly to the emperor, and insisted that Rong Ji, the imperial physician who used to work in Yonghe Palace, check her pulse.

She claimed that she had lost her appetite recently, and kept hinting that she might be pregnant. She also said that she wanted to see the former imperial physician of Concubine De to share in the joy of Concubine De giving birth to new children for the royal family.

Malu just thought Wang Guiren's behavior was really laughable: "But if she doesn't get pregnant in the end, won't she feel embarrassed..."

Rong Ji shook his head slightly and said, "I can't figure out a woman's mind. But when she asked me to come over, she just looked at me for a few times and didn't ask about my own affairs. She mostly asked about her own health."

Malu snorted coldly and said, "She has a good plan. Does she want you to take care of her baby in the future?"
