The Virtuous Concubine

Malu took off her makeup and lay down, curling up in the quilt with her eyes closed. Tonight, Bai Fu's favorability towards her has leaped to 61 points, which is in the friendly camp. This rhetoric is really useful, and it turns out that you still need to learn routines!

"System," Malu muttered to himself, "What do you think I should do next?"

The system's voice sounded in her mind: "According to analysis, what you need most right now is a reliable imperial physician and eunuch, that is, 1.5 reliable men."

Malu laughed. What did the system learn behind her back? But she knew the system was right. In the harem, a place full of fighting, the imperial physician was a must-have tool for fighting in the palace and protecting oneself from others.

"But it's not so easy to get a royal doctor," Malu sighed, "I have to take my time."

The system did not speak again, it knew that Malu had already made his own plan. Malu opened his eyes, looked at the curtains above the bed, and thought to himself.

Malu was thinking in his mind that the people he could mobilize at the moment were Aunt Shuyu, Bai Fu, Bai Xia, and Aunt Liu. But if he was going to enter the palace and protect the fetus, these people might not be enough.

Madam Liu and E-chan would take care of her diet, so a major source of danger was solved. Bai Xia and Bai Fu could also help her avoid some of the troubles that might arise in her daily travel and daily life, and there was a system for checking if there were any problems with her body.

After all the calculations, he still needed the imperial physician. The system's detector could only check. If it really found any problems, he would still have to take the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. Otherwise, every time he spent points to buy medicine, Malu always felt that he was working at a loss.

And it was true that he was still short of a eunuch, but there was no rush for the eunuch and he had to enter the palace before he could arrange for one.

The system couldn't stand the words "saving money" and "not necessary" that were used to refuse to spend points, so it ignored Malu angrily. Malu didn't need it to pay attention to her, she just wanted to say something, and it didn't matter whether the system listened or not.

Malu took a deep breath and put aside her worries. She closed her eyes and let her breathing slowly become steady. She needed to rest well and take care of herself to be responsible for her future baby.

These days, Malu has used the probe to check changes in his body every day. After the upgrade, there is no limit to the number of times he can use it, so he might as well use it.

She didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt excited and scared. During the first six days of testing, the system explained to her every day that it would take at least seven days to detect the results, and it was normal to be later. Malu's actions were completely unnecessary.

But Malu really just wanted to check it subconsciously, like a student who gets the results right after a big exam, she couldn't help it. She carefully observed every data on the probe. However, except for a slight increase in basal body temperature, on the seventh day, and even for several consecutive days afterwards, the test results showed negative, which made her feel a little depressed.

The system comforted her: "It's okay, it's just a matter of probability. You are in such good health now, just try a few more times and it will be quick."

Malu nodded. Although she felt a little disappointed, she still believed what the system said. She knew that pregnancy could not be rushed and needed to be left to nature. So, she decided not to check every day, but to adjust her mentality, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and then resume the plan to win favor that she had abandoned halfway last time.

Malu had just finished preparing clothes and jewelry and was about to collect some flower petals when the system's prompts and excited voice intertwined, shocking Malu.

Malu asked quickly: "You scared me just now! What happened? Are you poisoned?"

The system is excited: "Look at the reminder, look at the reminder!"

Malu clicked on it and saw a green tick behind the "pregnancy" task bar! Malu had been nervous for so long, but now she was panicking and didn't know what to do.

System: "Hurry up and sit down. Don't get tired."

Malu was a little speechless after hearing this, feeling that the system was treating this tiny cell as its own child. But he still sat down as he was told.

But how can it not be considered the result of the system? It was not easy to come this far and write so many words! The two people and the unified cell sat together, and for a while the room was silent.

Malu even used the probe again. She took a deep breath and confirmed the result again. The probe also showed pregnancy.

No one said anything, and Malu didn't even notice that a happy smile appeared on her face. She was immersed in her vision, and she realized that a new chapter in her life had really begun.

After a while, she finally responded: "Your detector won't have radiation, right?"

The system also became nervous after hearing this, and waited for a while before answering: "No, no, it will not affect you or the fetus. Do you want to turn on the monitoring function? It can monitor your and your child's development, hormone levels, and even early warning of diseases on a daily basis."

Malu nodded, and didn't ask how many points she had, and just let the system run. But she was very curious: "Has your voice changed?"

The system said in a more cheerful and human voice and tone than usual: "Yes, your pregnancy is a great joy. I specially used my points to exchange for a more festive voice to celebrate."

When Malu heard this, she couldn't help but say, "If someone didn't know, they would think you were the father of the child!" She was originally feeling a little uneasy, but after the system messed it up, she was left with only complete joy.

The system was unhappy: "I am more responsible than his father. You underestimate my sense of responsibility as an advanced system. I will give you a 200% discount on the monitoring function this time, and only deduct points."

Before Malu could be happy, Bai Xia, who was standing next to her, saw that she was in a daze and called her carefully, asking if she was unhappy. How could Malu say that she was so happy that she was pregnant for ten days? She could only ignore the system for the time being and continue with Bai Xia's words: "How can I be unhappy..."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, turned his head to look out the window, and gently stroked the window frame with one hand. Bai Xia saw this and thought that Malu had not seen the emperor for a while and was missing him, so he said, "Don't worry, young lady. The emperor has been busy with things in the front court recently and has hardly entered the harem."

Malu was curious after hearing this. How did Bai Xia know this? Of course, she knew that Kangxi had not been in the harem very often. Because the probe did not detect the pregnancy during those days, she was also making preparations, so she would see where Kangxi was.

During this period, Kangxi spent most of his time in the South Study of the Qianqing Palace when he was not in court. Sometimes he would go to the Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace to pay his respects and show his filial piety.

So she took the handkerchief and threw it at Bai Xia's hand in a scolding tone, saying, "Hey, girl, don't frame me. I'm not thinking about men."

Bai Xia's face turned red because of her coquettish behavior and lewd words, but what he felt more was a little anger - how could Malu not believe me!

So she said with a red face, "Of course I know. I am good friends with the eunuch who is in charge of holding umbrellas and clearing the way for the emperor's guard of honor..."

Malu was surprised and amused after hearing this, and couldn't help but laugh: "So our Miss Bai Xia, there is something wrong~"

Bai Xia's face turned even redder after hearing this: "No, no, I'm also friends with the gatekeeper Xiao Xiazi, the water carrier Lao Qiao, and even Aunt Hu from the Ministry of Punishment. Are you going to say that about me too, young lady?"

Malu quickly slapped his hands on his mouth: "Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, Bai Xia is not angry with me anymore." Bai Xia kept saying that she didn't dare, and Malu stopped joking and reminded Bai Xia: "It's a good thing that you can deal with them, so that you won't be isolated and helpless when you go around in the future. But you must be careful and be careful of other people's gossip."
