The Virtuous Concubine

Children not only bring new life, but also bring wealth.

When Kangxi saw the healthy child, he was overjoyed and wanted to promote Malu to a concubine and give her the title of De. One reason was that she had contributed to the pregnancy, and the other was that she had been framed twice by Concubine An, so she should be comforted.

Empress Niuhulu naturally had no objection, as she wished that someone of low birth like Malu could occupy a high position. But the Empress Dowager felt that since Malu had been granted the title of noble lady when she was just pregnant, she should not be promoted again.

Kangxi just felt that his royal grandmother was incomprehensible. He did not favor Concubine Uya, so why did he have to be so wary of everyone in the harem?

Does the Empress Dowager think that she is the same as my father?

Thinking of this, he was quite displeased, but he couldn't disobey the Empress Dowager, so he agreed to postpone the matter of appointing her as a concubine.

But after he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he became more and more angry, thinking that he had been in charge of the government for so many years, but he still had to be restricted by the Empress Dowager in everything. He thought of the sign in the Jiaotai Hall that said that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and he couldn't help but sneer.

It seems that since my good grandmother cannot interfere with the previous dynasty, she must control the harem.

Kangxi frowned, but still announced: "Advisor, yes! Give the order, from today on, all treatment for Noble Lady Wuya will be the same as that for a concubine."

The advisor was about to ask, but Kangxi added: "Give him the title of Virtue. Move him to the main hall of Yonghe Palace."

德！

Why ask? Currently, the only noble person with a title is Noble Lady Wuya, oh no, Noble Lady De.

In other words, other noble people had to pay respect to her and specifically ask them to move to the main hall to live.

I was afraid that others didn't know that Concubine De was favored by the Emperor and was about to be promoted to a concubine.

The consultant went to inform the six palaces on his own.

The atmosphere in the Cining Palace was tense. Su Malagu sighed inwardly as she looked at the Empress Dowager, whose chest was heaving with anger.

She certainly supported her master unconditionally, but she didn't understand why her mistress wouldn't let go.

Kangxi was raised by her and she treated the emperor as her own child.

Seeing that the relationship between the two people she cared about most was becoming increasingly strained, Su Malagu was a little anxious, but she didn't know what to do.

The Empress Dowager felt that Kangxi had really grown too powerful. Rather than saying that this was lip service, it would be better to say that this was disgusting to herself!

She wondered what it was, was it the feng shui of the Forbidden City? Why did the children she raised always disobey her and never listen to her?

Malu was also very angry. It was originally agreed that she would be a concubine, so why was it discounted when it came to her? Don't tell her that this is a unique position among nobles, and a proper concubine position must be better!

What's the point of saying you are the most valued intern? Malu felt that her lochia was blocked by anger, and she quickly looked at the child to relieve her anger.

Malu rocked the cradle, looked at the sleeping child in the cradle, and complained to the system: "Men are not good enough. The promised concubine position flew away. Will it affect my reward?"

As he spoke, he clicked on the reward to see the specific situation, and found that the points had been accumulated bit by bit over a period of time, and with the reward for giving birth to the child, the total amount was already more than 80,000.

System: "It will have an impact. It should have broken through 100,000 soon."

When Malu heard that he had lost so many points, he felt even more upset. He shook the cradle hard and the child started crying.

Seeing this, Bai Fu quickly called the nurse and Dachun to take the child down to comfort him. Bai Xia saw that Malu was so angry that his face turned blue, and hurried forward to comfort him: "Master, don't be angry. Doesn't the emperor love you very much? There must be a misunderstanding this time."

Malu glanced at her, his tone full of disdain: "Favor? If he really favors me so much, why wouldn't he even give me a concubine position? Don't be blinded by those superficial favors."

Bai Xia was stunned and couldn't speak.

Malu continued to sneer, "Do you think the emperor's favor came out of thin air? If I'm not good-looking, if I can't do what he wants... it's all because of my efforts, okay! There must be someone who is interfering, and the emperor can't do anything about this person."

Bai Xia asked cautiously, "Then who do you think is obstructing us? The Queen?"

Malu shook his head and sneered, "The Queen? She has the intention but not the ability. Do you think anyone in the harem can stop me from ascending to the throne? No, this time it must be the Queen Mother who is interfering."

Bai Xia opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Grand Empress Dowager? But she has never interfered in the affairs of the harem. How could this happen?"

Malu tapped her forehead: "You are too naive, Bai Xia."

Bai Xia lowered her head, not daring to say anything else, just listening silently. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not people that a servant like her could discuss.

Ma Lu continued to analyze, "The Empress Dowager has always been arbitrary and believes that concubines should be rewarded based on family background and merit, rather than favor. I don't have a prominent family background, so in her eyes, no matter how hard I try, I am not qualified."

Bai Fu, who had just returned, happened to hear this and nodded thoughtfully.

However, Malu didn't want to talk too much with the two of them, and waved his hand to signal them not to discuss this topic anymore: "I'm a little hungry, bring me some soup."

Bai Xia hurried downstairs to get the Astragalus, Red Dates and Crucian Carp Soup that had been kept warm.

The system also curiously asked Malu: "How can you be so sure it is Xiaozhuang?"

Malu touched his hair and felt that it was not too oily, then he answered the system: "Who else could it be? There is not even any interference!"

The system thought about it, and it was true! But it felt that it didn't matter, the child had been born, and the position of concubine would definitely not be able to escape. But seeing that Malu was so angry, it didn't dare to say this idea out loud.

Malu decided to forget about this matter for the time being. The most important thing now was to recuperate, take good care of the child, and move after the confinement period.

Malu bought some medicine to repair the body's deficiency in the system. Giving birth is really harmful to the body, and Malu still has five more to go... Thinking of this, Malu did some calculations in her mind and decided to have two children next time.

Twins, boy and girl? Malu thought about it and decided to give up. She planned to have two more children, two daughters and two sons.

In this case, since Fourteenth had twin brothers, he naturally would not be able to compete with his brother for the throne.

But twins, a boy and a girl, are also good. They are better for daughters. After all, Kangxi would never send twins, who are auspicious signs of a boy and a girl, to marry a foreign prince.

In this way, both daughters can stay with her and marry in the capital. Xiaozhuang only has 9 years left, and after the child is born, she will not be forced to go to Khorchin to find a match for her mother's family. . .

The system interrupted: "Not necessarily. Engagement is very early here. If she leaves a will, there is nothing you can do."

Malu thought about it and decided to give birth to two boys first and then a girl?

Or should I just give birth to quintuplets at once?

The system was about to crash. Why was the tasker so anxious? The system quickly spoke to Malu to calm him down: "You have just started your confinement period!"

Malu nodded: "If I wasn't afraid that my body couldn't take it, I really wanted to have more children."

Sensing Malu's emotions, the system asked, "Yes... you don't want to sleep with me?"

Malu admitted generously: "Yes, I have no interest in Gong Yong cucumbers. From the beginning, he ordered me in the first half of the night and went to find someone else in the second half of the night. I felt disgusted. I can hold on until now, all thanks to the mission."
