The Virtuous Concubine

Bai Xia really felt sorry for his master!

Walking into the inner room, Bai Xia saw Malu lying on the bed, looking pale but in good spirits. She walked carefully to the bedside and asked in a low voice, "Master, how do you feel?"

Malu smiled slightly: "Much better, but still a little tearing pain."

Bai Xia wiped Malu's face with a wet towel and said, "Master, you have worked hard. It's so lively outside! The Fourth Prince really made the Queen proud."

Bai Xia vividly described the scene of the third day bath, focusing on the Fourth Prince's lack of fear of strangers and the envious expressions of the concubines.

Malu nodded, looked out the window into the distance, and sighed softly, "It's a pity that I still haven't been promoted to the position of concubine."

If she is not promoted to concubine, the child may have to be given to someone else to raise. This is absolutely not allowed, but now Maruka is in a very awkward position, as if the child is just a little bit away from her, but this is enough to cause a lot of trouble.

No! She must be promoted to the position of concubine, otherwise the child could be snatched away by Tong Jia at any time.

This harem relies either on favor, children, or family background.

Family background... Thinking of her miserable family, Malu shook her head and rejected it. It was not that she was heartless, but Sai, Li and Weiwu were not sober. Giving them power and authority would only hurt innocent people.

I really don't know why my grandfather is so smart and the Uya family is full of capable people, but why is the child so unreliable.

Thinking of this, Malu patted his son. Isn't this the same?

When the Fourth Prince grew up and gave birth to another Fourth Prince, he would understand the hardships his grandfather had gone through.

The Fourth Prince seemed to sense something and showed an expression that seemed to be about to cry but not to. Seeing that the child was almost crying because of her disturbance, Malu quickly withdrew her hand and continued to think about what to do.

As long as the family is safe and sound and doesn't fall behind, Malu will be very satisfied. Children... I just gave birth to one, so I can put this path aside for now. And if I get pregnant right away, the women in the harem will have an excuse to take the one in front of me.

Favor... Kangxi's favor has brought me to this point, can it take me further?

In fact, Malu didn't need to worry too much, because when Kangxi drafted the edict, the reason he gave for asking her to move to the main hall of Yonghe Palace was that the child needed space, which meant that Kangxi wanted to keep the child with her and raise him.

But even if Malu noticed this detail, he would not be at ease. After all, he had said before that he would give her the title of concubine if she gave birth to a child.

Scumbag! All he knows is making empty promises!

Malu thought about it and decided to take the merit route, but she hadn't started learning medicine under the pretext of taking care of the child yet, so she could only choose another route. Thinking of her biggest obstacle, the Empress Dowager, Malu sighed.

There are still 10 years left, can you find a way to send her away?

Kangxi still has more than 40 years to live, by this calculation?!

Malu immediately became motivated - he must speed up the process and shorten the progress bar!

She thought hard and finally decided to give up and let Bai Xia and Bai Fu stay by her side to chat.

While Bai Xia and Bai Fu were making clothes, they told Malu about their plan to start moving some large items to the main hall in a few days.

When Malu saw them sewing so quickly, an idea suddenly occurred to him!

He finally thought of a way that would not only earn him merit and promotion, but would also temporarily please Empress Xiaozhuang and speed things up.

Malu asked the system: "I need a book with poison, is there one in the mall?"

System: "No, we suggest you complete the task in a legal and reasonable way."

Malu's eyebrows twitched, and she knew. Although this system had no emotions, it could resonate; it had no will, but it had values.

So she changed the question: "Do you have any health books? I need to avoid some dangerous things in life, but common sense and medical methods can hardly predict and avoid them. Are there any books about these?"

The system immediately realized that this woman had learned how to exploit bugs!!!

But it cannot refuse to answer normal questions. It is an excellent system that responds to every request and is omnipresent.

So it could only stiffly answer: "Then I recommend chemistry books and medical books. However, you are not authorized to purchase medical books at the moment. Chemistry books are general knowledge books and can be purchased."

Malu's smile was filled with a bit of triumph, and she quickly asked, "Then I need to buy some books on knitting, crochet, dyeing, etc. Is that ok?"

The system replied: "Yes, according to your embroidery skill level, these derivative skills can be purchased."

When Malu heard this answer, he knew he had won! He quickly asked, "What about weaving? What about the tools needed for weaving, such as spinning machines and steam engines?"

The system replied: "This is an industrial book. It will only be open to the tasker after certain conditions are met."

"What conditions?" Malu asked curiously.

After waiting for a long time, the system finally answered Malu: "The merit value is 100,000."

After hearing this, Malu looked at the simple interface of the system over and over again, but did not see his own merit points. He knew that it must have not been unlocked yet, so he planned to trick the system in the evening and let it give him more output.

Now, here comes Mammy!!

This Nanny Luo is very good at delivering babies and postpartum recovery. She was originally sent here by the Uya family through a special means. But now she has been assigned to Yonghe Palace. The concubines in the harem are all jealous of her.

Whether you have children or not, a good confinement nanny is a scarce resource. Not to mention a good doctor who can perform postpartum repair and reduce postpartum sequelae. So the concubines in the harem started to make a fuss, saying they wanted one too.

But people like Luo Mama are talented players, and they are rare. So after much arguing, the queen decided to let Luo Mama be "assigned" to Yonghe Palace for a period of time, and she would be transferred away when other concubines became pregnant and gave birth.

As soon as Nanny Luo came over, she greeted Malu first, then began to observe Malu's condition, and even touched the wound.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to take care of you and make you recover soon." Nanny Luo said as she examined the patient carefully.

She used the ancestral method of postpartum recovery, first with gentle massage to help blood flow and promote the discharge of blood stasis in the body. Then, she made a bowl of special medicinal soup for Malu, which was made of many precious medicinal materials such as angelica, astragalus, and Chuanxiong, which had the effect of nourishing qi and blood and promoting the discharge of lochia.

"Your Majesty, this medicine must be taken while it is hot so that it can exert its maximum medicinal effect." Nanny Luo said with a smile.

Malu took the medicine and swallowed it in big gulps. Because this medicine was too bitter!

She felt a warm current spreading from her stomach, gradually dispelling the coldness and fatigue in her body.

Next, Luo Ma personally gave Malu a hot compress. She wrapped the herbs in a cloth bag, heated them up, and gently applied them to Malu's abdomen and back. The heat and the aroma of the herbs slowly penetrated into her skin, relieving her postpartum pain.

"Your Highness, you must rest and recuperate in the next few days. Eat a light diet and avoid eating raw or cold food." Nanny Luo gently advised, "I will prepare medicinal food for you every day and provide massage to help your Highness recover as soon as possible."
