The Virtuous Concubine

Malu, lying on the bed, couldn't sleep. She had just escaped from the verbal battles of the concubines and was very excited. So she chatted with the system in a random manner.

The system first used a probe to check her condition, and was relieved to see that she and the child were fine. Last night, Malu told it that future generations have many mysterious means to harm people. It is afraid that someone will use something that should not be used on itself to approach the tasker with a desperate mentality.

This one is the one that has traveled the farthest among all the hosts it has chosen! We must not let anything happen to her and the baby!

Malu was more relaxed than the system. He just felt that these people were just too idle to fight in the palace. If he asked himself every day, "Have I managed my servants well? Have I finished my calligraphy, painting, and needlework? Have I exercised, taken care of myself, and put on makeup?", he would not be able to sleep. How could he have time to come here and fight in a flashy way?

The system also agreed: "Yes, there are too many things to do. If they have good family backgrounds, they don't have to worry about not having money to be concubines. Kangxi will at least consider their families and offer them sex once or twice. I really don't know why these women are attacking each other. They haven't found the main contradiction."

It was just following Malu's lead. In fact, it had traveled through so many worlds and had experienced much more than Malu. The system felt that Malu was too young to say such things. Malu had just entered the palace and everything had gone smoothly along the way. He actually had no idea of ​​what life would be like after entering the palace.

People’s hearts are fickle, and it’s hard to say whether the loyal palace maids will not betray in the future. Most people practice the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework for decades, but they can only make the emperor laugh at certain times of the year, not out of love from the heart. The concubines in the harem must have mastered the skill of maintaining and dressing themselves to their limit.

But all their efforts and values ​​are not worth mentioning in front of the emperor's favor and offspring. In so many long and lonely nights, only a few people can keep their original hearts. Most people will be transformed.

She became the concubine that Malu saw today.

Malu fell asleep not long after the man spoke. The system protected Malu, but her heart gradually became firm. As long as Malu did not forget her original intention on the way to completing the mission, she might be able to change the fate of some people, or even many people.

Malu's sleeping face was calm and peaceful, her hands were gently placed on her chest, and her breathing was even.

The system said softly: "Malu, you have done very well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Everyone's destiny has its own trajectory. You just need to be yourself, stick to your principles and kindness, and your influence will exceed your imagination."

Malu seemed to hear the sound of the system in her sleep, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

When Malu woke up, it was sunset. The light of the setting sun shone on the upturned eaves of Yonghe Palace and then went into the house. Bai Fu's words really came true. The eunuch in front of the consultant came over and told him that the emperor would come over in the evening.

In order to welcome Kangxi, Malu quickly began to prepare. She asked the palace maids to re-comb her hair and put on a simple and gentle ivory cloud-shadow gauze dress. The dress was embroidered with many white magnolias using the random needle method, and a white crane that seemed to be about to fly into the sky was added on the magnolia flowers.

Because the material is slightly transparent, she has a pink brocade bra with a few magnolia flowers embroidered on it, which are about to bloom on her chest, making people want to take a few more glances. Below is a slightly darker skirt of the same color, tied with a purple belt.

Bai Fu checked the layout of the main hall and the inner room several times to ensure that every detail was perfect. Seeing that the time was almost up, Ma Lu got up from the chaise longue and walked to the gate of Yonghe Palace, quietly waiting for Kangxi.

Finally, footsteps and the eunuch's announcement were heard in the distance. Malu immediately straightened her clothes and showed a gentle smile on her face. As the group gradually approached, her eyes were fixed on Kangxi. He was wearing a dragon robe and a golden melon-shaped hat. He walked steadily and had an extraordinary demeanor. Judging from his attire, he must have come directly here after meeting the ministers.

Malu's figure looked particularly weak in front of the vermilion palace gate, and her ivory dress was gently blown by the wind, making her look quite frail. In order to prevent the dim light from creating an indescribable Chinese-style horror, Malu specially ordered a few more lights to be placed at the door.

Sure enough, under the light, she looked from Kangxi's direction, and everything around her became her foil. When Kangxi approached, Malu greeted him with a slightly coquettish tone: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Emperor Kangxi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gently lifted up Malu who was bowing, and said: "Every time you bow, you are very polite, but you are always unforgiving with your mouth. I am late."

Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside him, quickly explained to the emperor, "My dear master, the emperor just came here after discussing state affairs with the ministers. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a long time."

After hearing this, Malu, like all the women in love, felt shy and happy when she heard her lover was thinking about her. She said softly, "I understand that the emperor is busy with state affairs, and he is very kind to me by coming. But I still want to see the emperor as soon as possible."

Kangxi took her hand and walked into the inner room of Yonghe Palace with Malu. After entering, Kangxi looked around and exclaimed: "My beloved concubine is really clever and skillful. You have taken good care of this Yonghe Palace."

Ma Lu was really nervous. She scolded Kangxi for making her wait for a meal, and even tried to set a trap for her. She was just a noble, so how could she be qualified to manage Yonghe Palace. If this word got out, the palace would be bustling tomorrow.

She just smiled and said, "I am just managing my own little piece of land. What's so difficult about it? The emperor has given me so many good things. If I put a few of them in the room, it will look good."

Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and gave Kangxi a wink, complaining: "It seems that this servant really has no strengths, and the emperor has to rack his brains to find some small details to praise."

Kangxi loved to see her acting weird. Seeing her half-heartedly frustrated look, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Then I'll have to spend some time thinking up some words to praise you next time."

Malu was just asking Liang Jiugong to test the food for poison, but she became happy after hearing this: "Then I'll wait. Anyway, the emperor said that I am the most caring person in the world, so others have to accept it."

Emperor Kangxi laughed out loud. He was in his prime, full of desire and patience for conquest, and he had a special preference for women who were both cute, smart, and full of vitality. The two favored concubines in the palace, Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi, both had such characteristics. However, Ma Lu was not only more decent and sensible than Concubine Tong, but also more gentle and soft in temperament than Concubine Yi.

The delicacies on the table were carefully selected by Malu under the careful guidance of Aunt Shuyu and Ecan. Kangxi paid attention to health preservation, and the treasury of the early Qing Dynasty was not yet full, so he followed the principle of "not eating multiple flavors" in his diet, that is, in a meal, the main dish only uses one ingredient.

If the meal is mainly pork, it will not be paired with other dishes such as beef, mutton, poultry or fish. In addition, Kangxi also followed the eating habit of "eating in season" and only enjoyed seasonal ingredients.

However, according to the palace rules, the emperor's dietary preferences need to be concealed by the palace servants in various clever ways. Therefore, only palace servants like E Can and Shu Yu, who have served the emperor for a long time, can know these details well.

So everything that Malu arranged really hit the spot in Kangxi's heart. While enjoying the food, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really comfortable to eat and drink here."

Malu did not respond, but her smile deepened, pretending to be gentle and gentle, saying that if the emperor was happy, she would be happy too. In fact, she was feeling very uncomfortable - would Kangxi take the opportunity to make her Shupin? She still liked the title of De more!
