The Virtuous Concubine

Malu nodded: "Of course, don't worry."

Before Malu could comfort the two children, Bai Fu and Bai Xia started to drive people away.

Your Majesty is very tired today, so let’s not discuss this!

Yinzuo and Wenxian did not blame the two loyal maids. They obediently withdrew and let their mother have a good rest.

When Malu woke up, she found out that Rong Ji had come to check her pulse, but he was reluctant to wake her up and waited until he could no longer keep her.

He also left her a lot of candied fruits that she used to love to eat, saying that she had been taking a lot of medicine recently and was worried that she would feel bitter in her mouth. He had checked them carefully and knew that they would not affect the properties of the medicine.

When Malu heard Bai Fu say this, he felt a little sweet in his heart, and thought that compared with Kangxi, it was really true that if you compare people, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will be thrown away.

Although I know the benefits of wealth and glory, facing such sincerity, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Bai Fu paused and continued, "The Fourth Prince has also sent Su Peisheng to pay his respects. Jingyi is still taking care of the Fourth Prince. I have the guts to ask Dachun to bring Thirteenth Prince to live with Fourteenth Prince. Now that the Queen has woken up, please give her instructions."

Malu nodded: "You did a good job, that's all. How's the fourth one?"

Bai Xia came in with the soup and just heard this. She shook her head and said, "Su Peisheng said he still can't get up, otherwise he would have come to see the queen."

Bai Fu disagreed: "Why can't I get up? Can the Queen get up?"

Malu stuck out her tongue. She had medicine and Rong Ji, so she could really get up!

But this was not the reason why the Fourth Prince did not come to see her. She asked Bai Fu, "Is the Fourth Prince injured so seriously?"

Seeing Bai Fu silent, she also knew.

The fourth brother was pretending. The more seriously injured he was, the more dangerous the prince would be. So of course he would not come to see, otherwise he would be exposed.

Malu smiled and shook his head: "These kids are more thoughtful than each other."

Yes, in her heart, Yinzuo was the one who was most concerned and thoughtful. But he had no desire to fight for power, so he looked the most peaceful.

He can maintain this delicate balance among the princes by instinct, so he should not be underestimated. It's like the crown prince is the class teacher's favorite monitor, with high comprehensive scores, while the fourth prince is full of political strategies and people-selection.

But he turned around and ignored the fact that the Sixth Prince could control the points in the dark.

The Fourth Prince has the blessings of memories and experience, the Crown Prince has Kangxi, the status of the legitimate son and Hesheli, but Yinzuo has nothing.

For example, during the period when the Fourth Prince was injured, all the power and tasks in his hands were taken over by the Sixth Prince with the tacit consent of Kangxi.

Kangxi's acquiescence to this shows that he also knew Yinzuo's excellence. Moreover, he did a good job, without any loss of control or accidents, and he was not outstanding and ostentatious enough to attract people's attention, so he was still safe.

Even those ministers who were around the Fourth Prince and those who were secretly on good terms with him were as easy to use as his own arms.

I just wonder if Yinzuo will be so honest as not to let the Fourth Prince keep anything after he recovers.

Bai Xia was cooling the chicken soup when she heard Malu say that the children were thoughtful. She smiled and defended Yin Zuo: "How could that be! Look at our Seventh Prince, he has a very kind heart. Princess Wenxian is even more resourceful. Girls must have the ability to conduct themselves in society."

Malu smiled, not wanting to argue with them: "Yes, I was wrong. Why is there only soup? I'm hungry and want to eat something tasty."

Bai Fu sighed, "My Lady!"

Malu wanted to sigh even more. After giving birth so many times, why haven't these people's ideas changed? They always think that salt cannot be eaten during the confinement period, but mothers sweat a lot during the confinement period, so salt must be replenished in time.

However, they still followed Malu's instructions and brought some meat porridge and side dishes for Malu to eat.

Malu was sweating after eating and felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally.

I was really exhausted during this period! But I couldn't sleep, so Malu chatted with Bai Xia who was doing needlework nearby, and asked the nanny to bring her two daughters to her side.

Using the excuse that the two little princesses were there, Malu asked to open the windows to ventilate the room. Apart from some slight tearing pain, everything was in perfect order.

We learned from Bai Xia, a large information distribution and processing center, that Kangxi had just returned to the court a few days ago, and the prince had encountered such a thing again. He was so busy that he had not entered the harem for several days.

No one in the palace dared to jump out to seek favor at this time and offend bad luck, so the harem was very peaceful.

Kangxi, the empress dowager, and other concubines gave many gifts and rewards to the twin daughters. There were so many things that it was particularly difficult to count them.

Malu wanted to laugh when he heard this: "Why weren't the previous ones so hard?"

Bai Xia chuckled: "Now that the queen is a noble concubine, everyone in the palace wants to come and help, to see if they can get some benefits."

Ma Lu shook his head: "In fact, it may be a compensation for the Fourth Prince's military exploits and injuries, but it cannot be given to him directly, otherwise wouldn't it be admitting the Crown Prince's mistakes?"

After saying this, she said with some sadness: "I wonder how the prince is doing."

Bai Xia was a little puzzled: "Madam..."

Malu looked up at the tent above his head and said, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple, but the fact that the prince beat someone is a fait accompli, so I can't delve too deeply into the reasons. Both sides are very secretive about how the fight started, so I can't ask too much."

"Now I have pleaded for mercy. If Yinzhen knows a little, he should also plead for mercy when he gets up, saying that he and the prince have committed the same crime and should be punished equally. But I don't know whether I should go and talk to him."

Bai Xia was so frightened that she pricked her hand.

She quickly put down the satin. This material was very fine and could not be stained by blood. After she cleaned up the blood on her hands, she couldn't help but ask the queen: "Does Yonghe Palace really need to endure this much?"

Malu suppressed the anger in his chest, leaned sideways and asked Bai Xia, "Do you know what a queen is?"

Bai Xia murmured, "The Emperor's wife, the head of the harem, is the mother of the country and a role model for the six palaces."

Malu nodded and shook her head: "Yes and no. The reason why the queen became the queen is not because she married the emperor. It is because of her family and background that she is destined to be the queen."

"No matter who the emperor is, she is the queen."

These earth-shattering words made Bai Xia stand up and close the window.

After she closed the window, Malu continued, "The son she gave birth to is the prince. The royal family will do their best to support the prince to become the emperor, and then the cycle will continue. If something happens to the prince at this time, the Hesheli family will fight to the death with us."

"Do you know where the Hesheli family's background is? I don't know, and Yinzhen doesn't know either, so he has endured until today, and has endured until now, just to find out the background of the Hesheli family before taking action."

After saying this, Malu felt that his thoughts were much clearer, and continued: "I just don't know if Yinzhen will..."
