The Virtuous Concubine

Aunt Shuyu shook her head, but the best way for her to play her role was to continue to help Malu get information in the Qianqing Palace, and even occasionally say a good word or two. So she shook her head: "I do hope to be like Aunt Hongyu, relying on the Wuya family to live a peaceful life, but the best way for me to play my role at the moment is not by your side."

After hearing this, Ma Lu was a little disappointed, but she also understood Aunt Shu Yu's difficulties. She knew that Aunt Shu Yu's position in the Qianqing Palace was very important to her, and she could provide more help to her by the emperor's side.

"I understand, Aunt Shuyu," Malu said, "I will remember everything you did for me in the Qianqing Palace. I will use this list carefully and live up to your expectations."

Aunt Shuyu nodded. She knew she was right. "My young lady, I am very pleased that you think this way. You are a smart person and know how to survive in the harem. But you should read this letter right now, and then I will take care of it."

Malu quickly unfolded the letter and read it carefully. She didn't know what it was like to read it, but it really made her heart ache. The letter not only described the recent situation of the Wuya family in detail, but also mentioned that Saihe Li intended to send her sister Mayanzhu to the palace through a small selection. Malu's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and an inexplicable anger and uneasiness surged in her heart.

"They are so bold. Do they think I am living too easily in the harem? Or do they think I am not 'motivated' enough and want to send someone else in as a insurance?" Others may not know, but how could Malu not know Mayanju's personality? This sister is irritable and reckless, hypocritical and frivolous, and most importantly, stupid!

If he really entered the palace, not only would he not be a help to her, but he would definitely hinder her.

Aunt Shuyu saw that Malu looked serious, so she asked, "My lady, what is in the letter that makes you so uneasy?"

Malu took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and handed the letter to Aunt Shuyu: "Aunt, please read it yourself. They actually want to send my good-for-nothing sister to the palace."

Aunt Shuyu took the letter, quickly read it, and her face gradually became solemn. She knew that the Wuya family's move was undoubtedly to add fuel to the fire in the harem, and Malu had obviously become the first target of this fire.

"My lady, how do you plan to deal with this?" Aunt Shu Yu put down the letter and looked at Malu with concern.

Ma Lu pondered for a moment, then said resolutely: "Although my family has come up with a solution, I can't just sit there and wait for death. If Mayanzhu enters the palace, it will definitely become a big trouble for me. Those people in the palace who are interested will definitely not miss this opportunity to cause trouble."

Aunt Shuyu and Malu were both taught by Aunt Hongyu, so naturally they had the same ideas. Aunt Shuyu was about to offer Malu a plan, but Malu waved her hand and said, "Aunt, I know you are good to me, but from now on, don't do anything for me."

Aunt Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then she understood Malu's intention. Malu wanted the relationship between the two of them to appear as indifferent as possible on the surface, so that she would appear more fair and trustworthy when she worked for the emperor in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

"My lady, what are you going to do..." Although Aunt Shu Yu didn't know how Malu was going to deal with it, her eyes were already full of approval.

Malu nodded, her voice firm, "When the time is right, I will go to see the emperor in person and ask for a favor for Mayanzhu."

Aunt Shuyu's eyes flashed with surprise. She knew that this required great courage and wisdom: "My lady, this is not easy."

Malu smiled slightly, a plan already came into her mind: "It's hard but I have to do it! I must ask the emperor to grant Mayanzhu a marriage directly. Instead of letting Mayanzhu enter the palace and cause trouble for me, I might as well take the initiative to find a good home for her outside the palace. Mayanzhu's personality is not suitable for the intrigues in the palace. If I can find a good family for her, not only can I protect myself, but I can also prevent her from becoming a victim of the harem struggle."

Aunt Shuyu thought for a moment and said, "This plan is good, but it may be difficult to implement. Granting a marriage is a great honor, but given the emperor's temperament, if you don't have any outstanding contributions, he may not agree to granting a marriage. Maybe it's better to use it to plan for yourself..."

Malu certainly knew! Kangxi was a man who loved those he loved and hated those he hated. He was extremely indifferent to those who were not related to him. If you wanted to ask for a so-called grace, it would be basically impossible unless it was in line with his interests. He would also think that you were arrogant because of your favor and asked for too much, so he would secretly deduct points from you.

She had to ensure that her position as a concubine was stable, and she couldn't let Mayanzhu, a fool, make it so that she couldn't raise her children. But she couldn't really let her enter the palace. If she got into trouble, she would be in trouble!

Ma Lu could only say to Aunt Shu Yu: "Aunt Shu Yu, I will find a way to convince the emperor. You just need to work hard in front of the emperor."

Aunt Shuyu saw Malu was so confident and nodded: "Don't worry, young master."

Malu stood up, took out a pearl necklace from her dressing box and handed it to Aunt Shuyu. Malu stood up, took out a pearl necklace from her dressing box and handed it to Aunt Shuyu.

Each pearl in this necklace is round and full, and of the same size, emitting a soft and warm light in the dark. There is also a pigeon egg-sized ruby ​​hanging on the necklace, and the gold buckle of the chain is finely engraved with a flying swallow pattern, which is obviously worth a lot of money.

"Aunt Shuyu, this is my favorite thing. I give it to you today as a gift to bear witness to the promise between you and me." Malu said this sincerely, "We have to avoid suspicion in the future, and I don't know when we will see each other again. Fortunately, our relationship is not based on these exchanges."

Aunt Shuyu took the pearl necklace. She was reluctant to part with such a good girl like Malu: "My lady, you are too polite. It is my honor to serve you. I will cherish this necklace."

Malu really couldn't bear to leave Aunt Shuyu. A good confinement nanny is actually much harder to find than a man! And Aunt Shuyu is more like her ideal mother, gentle, rational, and kind to her.

Thinking of this, Malu thought of Sai and Li, the biased and often crazy people in the family, and sighed. Seeing this, Aunt Shuyu knew that Malu needed to be alone at the moment, so she put away the letter and got up to say goodbye.

Malu stood up to see her off, then returned to the chaise longue and asked Bai Xia to bring her another piece of clothing.

The weather is cold, and my heart is cold too.

The system was puzzled: "What do the Wuya family think?"

Malu sneered, "What else can you think? You're afraid that I won't be able to give birth to a son, and you're also afraid that if I give birth to a son, he'll be too arrogant and disobedient. You're afraid that I won't be favored, and you're also afraid that I'll be too favored and become too arrogant and disobedient."

I have to say that Malu really understood Sai and Li's psychology clearly.

The system also understood that Malu was telling the truth, and fell silent. It was not easy for it to talk about such things. After all, Malu had been with Wuya's family for so long, and they had developed feelings for each other. Whatever it said always felt like it was fanning the flames, which was not good.

Malu was more open-minded: "Just say what you want to say, it doesn't matter. The friendship between you and me is much more important than the friendship with them."

The system was delighted to hear this. This was a five-star praise from the tasker! It really wanted it, but was too embarrassed to say it. It didn't expect to be recognized today. It was so happy.

So it also let go: "Why don't you buy some props to make your sister lose the qualification to enter the palace. The aphrodisiac spray you used last time is quite useful."
