The Virtuous Concubine

Malu was chatting with Wen Xian in Yonghe Palace.

Malu's face was slightly tired, but Wen Xian was in high spirits. He was playing with a jade pendant in his hand, looking up at his mother from time to time and occasionally saying a few words. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Wen Xian has been having a very prosperous life recently. She has done a lot of things through Yinzuo, Princess Kejing who married into Khorchin, and her own people in the palace, even involving the previous dynasty, and her life is very fulfilling every day.

Power, for a princess like her, is the best tonic.

Bai Xia was a little confused when she heard that Mrs. Guaerjia had handed in a sign to ask to see the Empress. Although Mrs. Guaerjia was usually close to him, she came to the palace at this time to make peace with the Fourth Prince.

She was pregnant now, and it was already inconvenient for her to move around, so why bother at this time? Firstly, she was afraid that she would not be able to take good care of her, and secondly, the situation in the palace was complicated, so it was better to have less trouble than more.

"If there's nothing wrong, let her go back. She's in such a heavy condition at this age, why is she running around?"

Bai Xia was a little nervous: "It is said that it was the Fourth Prince who ordered her to stay in the palace for two days. There is chaos outside, and the Fourth Prince is worried. With you taking care of her, the child will be healthier."

Bai Xia's voice was very low, and it seemed that he had noticed the conflict between his master and the Fourth Prince.

Wen Xian was very smart. When she saw her mother lowering her eyes, she knew that she was hesitant. Wen Xian felt that there must be a reason behind this. Besides, she got along well with the Fourth Prince and Guaerjia, and she didn't want her mother to have too much trouble with the young couple.

Wen Xian smiled and said to her mother, "Mother, my sister-in-law must be in trouble for entering the palace at this time. And since my fourth brother has given the order, it must be for my sister-in-law's safety. Our Yonghe Palace is spacious, so it is not difficult to have more people to take care of her. Let my sister-in-law come in, and your daughter can help you take care of her, so you can rest assured."

Malu listened to his daughter's words, thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let her come."

It was obvious that Guaerjia was holding me back. She was waiting outside with a big belly. If I didn't meet her, people would say I was "unkind".

Seeing that Malu had agreed, Bai Xia quickly left to make arrangements. As soon as Guaerjia received Malu's approval, she followed the messenger into the palace without stopping.

Not long after, Guaerjia walked into Yonghe Palace with the help of the palace maids. Her belly was bulging, and every step she took seemed very strenuous, and her steps were a little unsteady.

As soon as she saw Malu and Wen Xian, she bowed quickly and said, "Greetings to mother, greetings to the princess."

Wen Xian quickly stood up to greet her and helped her up.

Malu smiled and said, "Hurry up, your body is not comfortable, so please skip these empty formalities."

Guaerjia's face was filled with gratitude, and she said, "Thank you for your consideration, mother. There has been a lot of noise outside these days, and the baby in my belly is moving restlessly. The Fourth Master is worried, and he thinks that it would be safer in the palace, so he asked if he could let me stay in the palace for two days. I ask mother to take care of me for two days. I am really causing trouble for you."

As she spoke, Guaerjia seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Wen Xian with a smile: "Princess, I have brought you some small gifts when I came to the palace this time. They are all carefully selected by me. I hope you will like them." As she spoke, she signaled Qingfeng beside her to present the gifts.

Wen Xian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is so polite. How can I not like her?"

Guaerjia took Wen Xian's hand with a smile on her face. Wen Xian followed her gaze and found that the palace servant who delivered the gift was a stranger.

This palace maid looked ordinary and was easily forgotten, but Wen Xian also practiced martial arts. Just by looking at her toes and breathing, one could tell that she was a skilled martial artist.

Wen Xian blinked, "Sister-in-law, who is this?"

Guaerjia's smile did not fade, but she squeezed Wen Xian's hand slightly: "My health is getting worse and worse, and my mother is unwilling to give me someone else. I really have no choice but to send the maid I brought from my mother's house to serve your fourth brother. Qingfeng is here to serve me."

Guaerjia's smile seemed natural, but Wen Xian keenly noticed that there seemed to be a hint of subtle nervousness in her eyes.

Just as Qingfeng knelt on the ground and bowed her head to greet Wen Xian, Guaerjia continued to hold Wen Xian's hand seemingly casually, but her fingers gently stroked her palm, leaving two words.

"Be careful"

Wen Xian was shocked, but she remained calm. She looked at Guaerjia calmly, and she saw Guaerjia shook her head slightly, indicating that she should not say anything.

Wen Xian's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said to Qingfeng, "Get up. From now on, you should serve your sister-in-law well in Yonghe Palace."

Qingfeng responded, stood up swiftly and stood aside. At first glance, she looked no different from an ordinary palace maid.

Wen Xian calmly pulled his hand out of Guaerjia's hand, and gently held her arm, smiling and saying, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. Can Wen Xian sleep with you in Yonghe Palace today?"

Guaerjia heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Malu: "Princess, you asked the wrong person. Everything about me is up to my mother!"

Malu pursed her lips and smiled: "You two, you get along like sisters. But your sister-in-law is pregnant and has difficulty moving, so you still..."

Guaerjia nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, mother, for your help. I feel more at ease with the princess by my side."

Wen Xian smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of my sister-in-law."

Malu was helpless. What was these two people doing in this double act?

"In that case, it's up to you. But your sister-in-law is in a serious condition, so you must be careful."

Guaerjia said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, mother. I will be careful with the princess by my side."

Wen Xian smiled and nodded, then helped Guaerjia to walk into the inner room. Qingfeng followed them in a flash, as if he would never leave their side.

Malu and the others walked away, and then he turned around and told Bai Xia: "Go, tell Dachun to pick some people who know Kung Fu and boxing when he assigns people to serve the Fourth Family, and have someone keep an eye on them in secret."

She may not understand the Guaerjia clan or martial arts, but she understands her daughter!

Wen Xian usually cannot do without the Snow Corps, and she has to accompany the dog in the princess's residence every day. Today, she stared at the toes of the palace maid and counted her breaths. She even gave up the dog and stayed to accompany Guaerjia, which meant she went to investigate for herself!

Thinking of this, Malu felt warm in his heart and decided to add two more dishes for Wen Xian in the evening.
