The Virtuous Concubine

Thinking of this, Malu even whistled happily.

A world was achieved in which only Kangxi and Xiaozhuang were hurt.

Malu's wool had just been sorted and cleaned, and Bai Xia and Bai Fu had not yet started to use the small bow to shoot the fibers, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs was already busy making the strange drum combing machine that Malu had asked for. De Guiren was now a popular figure in the harem, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not neglect her.

At this time, the system, which had been silent recently, suddenly spoke: "I have completed the upgrade. Here are my latest features."

Malu took a look and thought that this system upgrade was a waste of time! Why did it upgrade only the table and document functions?

If you want to upgrade, just give yourself a whole package. Why don’t you give her one more slide? You are being stingy, right?

Sometimes the system will really be so angry with Malu that it will crash. I specially selected these two very useful functions for her! The statistical and calculation functions of this table are very advanced. How can I underestimate myself who has worked hard to upgrade? !

When Malu is in charge of palace affairs in the future, she will know how useful this kind of calculation ability is. Moreover, if Malu really wants to do something for the people of this era and change the economic development model in the future, having such a table function will help her a lot.

In addition, the system has also upgraded the scanning and photo taking functions. The scanning function is very fast, and there is no need to turn pages. A thick account book can be fully entered into a table with one scan, and a thick book can be fully entered into a document with one scan.

As for taking photos, of course, you need Malu to be there, and the storage space is limited, so points are needed to expand the capacity...

Malu really feels that the system has begun to reap itself through its business model!

But think about it, it is really useful! For example, many times people are afraid to look around, so they can use photos to record famous scenes and the baby's growth process... But Malu became more determined.

Let's quickly promote technological development. As long as we have a camera in real life, we won't need to use a system, or at least we won't need to buy so much storage space.

The system is not afraid. According to the normal development trajectory, Malu has completed all his tasks in this world, and the Qing Dynasty would not have developed the camera function while Malu was alive.

It didn't want to do that, mainly because Malu was becoming more and more slippery. Bai Fu, Bai Xia, and Nanny Luo around her, and E Can, Aunt Shu Yu, and herself behind her were all very capable.

Even without the system, Malu could successfully overcome all difficulties in the palace and stand firm on his own. This means that Malu's shopping desire on the system side is not strong, and the system can't earn any points at all.

Malu ignored the system altogether and used the photo function to frantically take pictures of her baby babbling, thinking it was just too adorable.

When she had taken her fill of photos, Malu began to work on the roller carding machine.

This machine is quite ingenious, consisting of a main drum, a small drum, and a feed drum. The surface of these drums is covered with tiny steel needles or teeth, which are used to comb the wool fibers. The wool is introduced through the feed drum and combed several times between the small drum and the main drum to make the fibers smoother and more uniform. In the end, the combed wool fibers form a thin and uniform wool felt, which removes most of the impurities and agglomerations and is more suitable for spinning and weaving.

Malu recorded some usage effects and suggestions, and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make some adjustments based on his suggestions, and then make a new one directly.

As for this old one, I'll just use it for now.

Malu began to use a machine to comb the wool and finally turn it into felt. He worked himself into a sweat but only managed to make a small piece of felt.

But this is a big step! Because as long as the power problem is solved, the wool felt only needs people to clean and add materials, which is semi-automatic.

Malu touched the small piece of felt and felt that it was not easy. I really don't know how many problems people in the past encountered before summing up such experience.

This small piece of felt can only barely make a small hat, and because it is quite commemorative, Malu decided to use it to make a woolen tiger-head hat for her baby to wear when going out in winter.

The people in Yonghe Palace have been covered in wool recently. When they go out, they are laughed at by some people, who say that Malu is worthy of being a "mud-legged person" and that the servants he brings with him in the palace are also dirty.

But the people in Yonghe Palace had been told long ago that they should just laugh it off when faced with such a problem. When someone came to inquire about what was going on, they simply said that the master was bored during her confinement period and was making some clothes for the baby to pass the time.

When this news spread, people started to say all sorts of things. Some even thought that the Fourth Prince was born in the wrong family. There were so many concubines in the harem who were high-ranking and had good family backgrounds, and their children were all dressed in gold and silver, and had everything from silk to soft satin.

If you are reborn into the belly of this noble man, you will have to wear dirty and smelly wool.

For a time, some concubines were also tempted, especially Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi. They all had no children, and they could raise children!

Especially Concubine Tong, after she saw the child once at the Fourth Prince's third birthday, she became obsessed with him and kept thinking about him while eating, sitting, and lying down.

She inexplicably felt that she had a strong connection with this child.

Seeing that she was no longer obsessed with the emperor's favor and the position of empress, and had new ideas, Liuying, who was standing beside her, was also happy. After all, her master had a child to take care of him, and the Tong family also had a prince, which was the best of both worlds.

It just so happens that this noble lady De is unable to raise a child by herself, and the queen is not in good health. . . Who else can be given the custody of the fourth prince except for the noble lady Tong?

Thinking of this, Liuying passed the message to the Tong family. After getting the approval of the Tong family, she began to instigate Concubine Tong every day.

She subtly whispered in Concubine Tong's ear, reminding her of the loveliness and intelligence of the Fourth Prince, and the honor and power that raising a prince would bring. She also often mentioned other concubines in the harem, suggesting that they might also have such plans, which aroused Concubine Tong's sense of urgency.

Concubine Tong was gradually persuaded and began to pay more attention to the Fourth Prince. Malu was still in confinement after childbirth, so she could not wait and went to Yonghe Palace to visit her.

Holding the Fourth Prince's strong little feet and hands, Concubine Tong felt like her heart was melting.

This child must belong to her!

Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and she murmured to herself, "Good boy, it's okay, you went to the wrong place, you were supposed to be born in my belly."

Nanny Luo beside her lowered her head, and her hands were actually shaking.

Fortunately, Concubine Tong was still rational and did not take the child back to Chengqian Palace. Seeing that she touched the child lovingly again, she put the child down and left under Liuying's advice.

When he left, he left a generous gift for Malu, and told her that it was for De Guiren to have a good rest and recuperate.

After Bai Xia, Bai Fu and Nanny Luo sent Concubine Tong and her group away, they looked at each other and decided unanimously to tell their master about this matter immediately - the young master was in danger!

The three of them got together and pondered for a long time before they decided how to say it.

Bai Xia sighed: "It's all the emperor's fault. If he had directly made our master the Depin, wouldn't there be so many problems?"

Bai Fu was a cautious person. She first looked around at the situation before saying, "The emperor may have his own difficulties. You are not allowed to say such things outside." In fact, she thought so in her heart.

She had been with her master for a long time and felt that her master was a good person in every way. She just didn't know why the emperor was crazy and insisted on holding her master's position.
