The Virtuous Concubine

Xue Ning kept repeating these words in her heart, and felt that she was so lucky!

Of course, Malu didn't know that Nalan had gone to extremes where she couldn't see him, and she wouldn't care even if she knew.

Malu thought it was just a fleeting love affair. Now that she had the Fourteenth Prince, she wouldn't have to frown even if Nalan died on the spot. The eldest prince and Concubine Hui were already useless and had become a burden that dragged down the Nalan family's status in Kangxi's heart.

If the Nalan family wants to rise again, they can only rely on Fourteen and Fourteen's brothers. If they dare to make trouble again, no one can protect Nalan Pearl.

Nalan, ever since she knew that he had chosen Lu, had long since become a thing of the past in her heart. She had no time to care about Nalan's various actions, nor did she want to pay attention to them.

Nalan also found opportunities to come a few more times later, but Malu still avoided him. Even the Fourteenth Prince began to go to the study room every day.

Studying and riding and shooting occupied most of Fourteen's energy. He no longer ran in the yard and slowly began to move to the prince's residence.

Nalan, who ran over, couldn't even see the child, and became even more depressed. After hitting so many walls and suffering so much setbacks, he gradually came less often.

He still failed to get any job he wanted, but he often accompanied Kangxi in riding, shooting, and reading. As a result, he saw the Fourteenth Prince more and more often.

Nalan's frustration and helplessness grew day by day. On the one hand, he could not let go of Malu, but he could not get her response; on the other hand, he could not make any breakthrough in his official career and could only be a guest to accompany Kangxi. When Kangxi had important political affairs, he would rather chat with a few princes than ask for his opinions.

This is a far cry from the glory my father had back then!

No one cared about Nalan's worries, but the weddings of the eldest prince, the third prince and the fifth prince were held in a lively manner.

The eldest prince's wedding was even held in Yangfeng Alley, which really made Concubine Hui very angry. Concubine Hui felt that this was a humiliation to the eldest prince, and it also showed that Kangxi had no intention of letting the eldest prince go in the short term.

She could only cry while asking Malu to send more things to the eldest prince so that he would not suffer in there. Malu handed this matter over to the fourth prince, who was very happy.

What a great opportunity to show his love for his brother, he naturally had to cherish it. Yinzhen prepared a lot of things with great fanfare, even a lot of things for his sister-in-law and children, and sent them in directly.

Among the things related to the female members, it was specifically mentioned that they were prepared by Guaerjia, who was in mourning. Please don't blame me if there is anything incomplete and they will be sent next time.

When Kangxi learned about this, of course he scolded him severely and accused him of ignoring his orders, saying that he deserved a beating.

However, in the end, the Fourth Prince was not punished, but was given several important tasks. The Fourth Prince knew that he had done the right thing, and that the Emperor was actually very happy, but was just being stubborn.

Through this opportunity, Yinzhen initially realized that Guaerjia was really capable! It was really worry-free for an unmarried girl to be able to make such thorough preparations.

The prince really didn’t know how to cherish it back then!

As they were both girls, Yinzhen secretly glanced at Wen Xian, who was scolding everyone he met in the study, and shook his head.

I’ll have to let her and my sister-in-law learn from her in the future.

Faced with Yinzhen's sudden request, Guaerjia accepted it with great joy. She had a better impression of the Fourth Prince whom she had never met.

She knew very well that this was the Fourth Prince's recognition of her and his approval of this marriage! Compared with the prince who turned his face away when they first met, a gentle and amiable husband who loved her was undoubtedly a better choice.

Moreover, the letter he sent also said that he was not in a hurry and asked her not to be anxious either, and that he would wait until she was out of mourning. . . Thinking of this, Guaerjia blushed.

The marriage of the third prince was peaceful and a normal happy event. But the marriage of the fifth prince still had some problems. Concubine Yi was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law, thinking that the fifth prince's wife was of too low a birth and was not worthy of her son.

The first wife, Tatala, was the daughter of Zhang Baozhu, a member of the Imperial Treasury. There were also prominent people in the family. The girl's grandfather was Buyanu, the vice minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Shaanxi.

But the fifth prince, who was raised by the Queen Mother, was not of good enough birth. So Concubine Yi was very rude throughout the whole process and was ready to set rules for her daughter-in-law and to insert people for her son.

However, the Fifth Prince, who grew up beside the Empress Dowager, was gentle and kind, and might not allow Concubine Yi to manipulate his wife at will. Although Hetala was not of noble birth, she must have her own intelligence and tenacity, otherwise how could she have caught the eye of Kangxi?

Sure enough, as time went by, Concubine Yi's difficulties became more and more obvious, while the relationship between the Fifth Prince and his wife Tara became better and better, making Concubine Yi the second person who was always upset after Concubine Hui.

Malu just watched the fun. Anyway, the Crown Prince had not yet been engaged and her own Fourth Prince's marriage was still a few years away, so she just gave a gift as a token of her appreciation.

She also has new worries.

One is the two daughters, one is the prince, and another worry is the eighth prince who comes to pay his respects every day.

The daughters had to be pampered, and Malu loved the two girls to her core. When she was raising the Fourth Prince, her intention to fulfill her mission was obvious, but when it came to Rong Ji's children, for the sake of her love for her children, Malu felt that she was afraid of startling the children by speaking loudly.

But Wen Xian disagreed. She always felt that her two younger sisters should be more demanding than the princes and avoid some of the detours she had taken. Ma Lu would even discuss the education of the two princesses with Wen Xian for an entire afternoon.

Even though the girls had just learned to walk.

As for the prince, it seems even more awkward.

He used to be arrogant, but now his mood swings made Malu even more confused. In the last second, he lost his temper and said that he would not visit him and did not care about him. In the next second, when he saw that he was leaving, he acted like a spoiled child, not caring about the dignity of the prince at all, which made Malu a little confused.

Do you want my concern or not? And your mood swings are too big!

It would be fine if the prince was fine, but if the prince started to make a fuss, it might take Malu several days to coax him back to his senses, which was really exhausting.

What a troublemaker!

However, the people in Yuqing Palace were extremely grateful to Malu. The prince's mind was all on Concubine Dezhao, and he no longer lost his temper. He was "making trouble" all day long. He felt that his life was not much better, but at least his life was saved.

Occasionally, if he made a mistake, as long as Imperial Concubine De Zhao came to coax the prince a few days before or afterwards, he would be sure that nothing serious would happen.

The Eighth Prince is the most difficult one to deal with.
