The Virtuous Concubine

There are tens of thousands of noble ladies in the world, and we can definitely find a girl who is responsible and has personality to discipline Yinzhen!

After Malu finished writing, he tore the paper into pieces, put them in the Boshan furnace and burned them to destroy all traces.

Looking at the black smoke rising from the Boshan stove, Malu couldn't help but sigh.

Although she knew that she couldn't sigh, as sighing would take away all her blessings, she felt very tired when she thought about choosing a new wife for Yinzhen.

They are all princes, can't they be free to fall in love? Why does she have to worry about it?

If he left it to fate, he would dare to pick the most extraordinary women in the entire Qing Dynasty into his room.

But Malu may have forgotten that if she hadn't come, these people were all chosen by Concubine De. She felt good complaining at the moment, but it was no different from scolding herself.

Bai Fu saw that her master's expression changed from happy to sad, just like a revolving lantern. She didn't dare to disturb him and could only stand aside silently.

Seeing that Malu had finished the work at hand, Bai Fu reminded Malu: "The Imperial Concubine sent someone to say that the Emperor would not be able to come back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and came to ask what you think about the palace rules for the Mid-Autumn Festival and what you want to do."

Ma Lu was surprised: "Even though the Imperial Concubine is so ill, is she still going to host the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner in person?"

Bai Fu nodded: "Isn't it? Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Didn't Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi come to complain a few days ago, saying that the Imperial Concubine always wanted to take away the palace affairs you allocated to them?"

Ma Lu couldn't help laughing: "They are still counting on me to stand up for them, and they want me to compete with Concubine Wenxi. But I have one less title than them, and I was conferred the title later, so naturally I can't compare with them."

Bai Fu couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty! Compared to her being a noble concubine based on her family background, everyone in the palace still thinks that you are more honorable because you were favored and have offspring."

Malu didn't care. She stayed at home all day anyway. She was just attracted to the position of queen a while ago, but she didn't care about the position at other times.

However, Malu still decided to help the imperial concubine. If she really got into any problems due to overwork, then she would have to do the work!

Malu asked Bai Fu to remind the imperial concubine that she should pay attention to the Queen Mother's opinion and prepare more mooncakes so that they could be sent to the returning troops in advance.

Originally, the palace would prepare at least 400 kilograms of mooncakes for the festival. Now, they also had to include the guards around Kangxi and some of the soldiers on the front line, and even prepare some other comforts besides mooncakes, such as adding some meat, for those who could not get mooncakes.

This thing looks small, but when there are many people, it will cost a lot of money and the trouble will increase exponentially. So Malu reminded the imperial concubine to prepare early so that she could join forces with the queen mother, which would be more legitimate.

The Imperial Concubine was naturally very grateful for such a suggestion. If this matter was done well, it would be a great benefit to her. So she became more generous and stopped targeting Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi.

After all, in her eyes, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were now following the lead of Concubine De. She only had Concubine Rong, who had fewer children than Concubine Rong, so she was really weak.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi thought that it was Malu who took action for them, and they were somewhat surprised and touched - originally they just wanted to make a fuss and clear themselves in front of Concubine De.

Unexpectedly, she actually solved the problem?

Concubine Hui was fine. She had received instructions from the Nalan family, so even if Concubine De failed to resolve the matter, it would not affect her stance.

Concubine Yi was really a little confused: "Is she really a good person?"

Ever since her and her sister's child died, Concubine Yi's temper has become much calmer. The Fifth Prince was spoiled by the Empress Dowager. A few days ago, the Fifth Prince brought back a dog from Yonghe Palace, but he didn't want to disturb the Empress Dowager so he fostered the dog in Yikun Palace.

The current temperament of the Ninth Prince can be seen. He is not someone you can count on. He doesn't read books, doesn't learn riding and archery, and always follows the Eighth Prince around. He does whatever the Eighth Prince says.

Only the elder sister, because Kejing and Wen Xian were close, her life was getting better and better. Her daughter's marriage was so good that she was in a good mood every day and was just counting the days until Kejing got married in Korchin.

As Concubine Yi got older, she gradually became open-minded - as long as the children were happy, that was enough. As for herself, as long as she could get the power of the palace to ensure that she would not be wronged, that was enough. So she also shamelessly stood on Malu's side.

Malu didn't know that just a few words of his would cause such a big change in the palace. It was really an unintentional achievement.

These matters were left to them. All the big banquets outside were turned down.

I will stay in the palace to take good care of my pregnancy. However, Malu decided to prepare a banquet in the palace so that everyone can have a good time together. Bai Xia happily took over this task and went down to make arrangements.

Malu also asked her to make a few mooncakes and send them along with the large group sent by the imperial concubine. The concubines in the harem probably sent them to the imperial concubine, hoping to please Kangxi.

If Yonghe Palace didn't have it, it would be too eye-catching. Bai Xia even consciously made an extra portion, counting it as Jingyi's.

But Malu always felt that she had missed something. When she lay down, she realized that she had forgotten about the little prince!

Malu looked at the sky outside and sighed, "Bai Xia, go get me an embroidery frame and a piece of the best silk."

Bai Xia was a little reluctant: "My lady, it's late at night, please watch out!"

Malu insisted, and finally got what Malu wanted. Although she was pregnant, her hands were not slow at all, and she quickly drew a fan on the white silk.

She wanted to embroider a bamboo, add a moon to it, and then write "Cool Breeze into My Arms" on it.

It was a bit perfunctory, but... isn't it because we are pressed for time?

Malu hummed a song while embroidering. She moved quickly and soon finished a draft. But Malu was still a little dissatisfied. Such a gift looked a little thin and shabby. So she gestured again, and seeing that there was still room left, she began to draw a pattern of a rising red sun and evergreen pines and cypresses on the other side.

"As constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. As long-lived as the southern mountain, never collapsing. As luxuriant as the pine and cypress, all will be supported."

After finishing writing, Malu nodded with satisfaction. This was pretty good.

But when it came to this, Malu remembered that Rong Ruo and Rong Ji seemed to, perhaps, also need a Mid-Autumn Festival gift?

Malu sighed and said, forget it, neither of them is here now, so there is no rush.

After working on it for so long, her eyes were a little sore. She rubbed her eyes and handed the things to Bai Xia. She would finish the rest tomorrow.
