The Virtuous Concubine

Because Kangxi didn't come, these people dispersed after a few sour remarks - no one likes to see others being proud when they have nothing to do. Kangxi wasn't here, so I dressed up in vain. It would be better to go back early to remove my makeup and have a good beauty sleep.

Kangxi did not come, but Malu had to go. So after she became a concubine, she stepped into the Qianqing Palace for the second time.

Last time it was for Dachun, and this time it was to thank En.

When Malu left, she also took the two woolen clothes with her, covering them with red silk cloth. The palace people along the way were quite curious, but they didn't dare to look closely. This noble lady had just come out of confinement, so she must have thought of some way to win favor!

As soon as everyone from Yonghe Palace set out, Chengqian Palace had already received the news, and the Firefly Bento joke was shared with Concubine Tong.

It was originally just a funny thing. Her master didn't need to rack her brains to win favor like these concubines of humble origins. It was just that Concubine Tong took the opportunity to belittle Concubine De.

But unexpectedly, since Concubine Tong fell in love with the Fourth Prince, her attention to Yonghe Palace has changed compared to before.

When Imperial Concubine Tong heard about this, her first reaction was that if Noble Lady De could come up with some way to make her cousin happy, then after she was promoted to the position of concubine, it would be difficult for her to adopt the Fourth Prince!

So she got a little anxious, and in a flash, she came up with a brilliant idea: "Let's go! Let's go find the Empress Dowager!"

She didn't even have time to change her clothes before she went to the Cining Palace to find Empress Xiaozhuang to complain.

Today, Imperial Concubine Tong is going to severely accuse Concubine De of being immoral and unable to raise a prince!

Malu had already reached Kangxi and twisted her body to salute him.

When Emperor Kangxi saw Malu bowing, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He knew that Malu had just come out of confinement and needed to rest, so he said softly, "No need to be so polite."

Ma Lu thought to herself, "I'm done, okay? What's the point of saying it now?" However, she still smiled, accepting Kangxi's inspection of her from head to toe, and chatting with him.

"You are more charming now." Kangxi pulled her over.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you." Malu said softly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly. He was very interested and wanted to know what request Malu would make. Malu had always seemed to have no desires. Did she feel that her position was secure after giving birth to a child and began to reveal her true colors?

"During my confinement period, I made a piece of clothing myself. I hope Your Majesty will accept it." Malu said as she took an exquisite plate from the maid beside her and gently lifted the silk cloth to reveal a yellow dress.

Kangxi looked carefully and frowned.

In his opinion, this dress was too rough, and only worn by the lower class. But he knew that Malu was very clever and would not give him such a thing to perfunctorily, so he patiently asked: "Why are you still working so hard during the confinement period? If you don't rest well, I will have something to say to you."

Malu smiled and said, "If you love your son, you will have far-reaching plans for him. Ever since I had my fourth child, I couldn't help but worry about him. I always felt that it was cold in winter, silk clothes were not warm enough, cotton clothes were too thick, and my child couldn't use too much carbon. So I researched this woolen clothes, one piece is equivalent to three pieces!"

Kangxi didn't think much of it at first, but the more Malu talked, the more interested he became. When he heard about wool and one piece equals three pieces, he sat up straight and said, "One piece equals three pieces? Is that true?"

Malu quickly took the clothes and presented them to him with both hands. He used the clothes to cover half of his face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will know if it is deceiving the emperor after you try it."

Kangxi did not delay and immediately went behind the screen. The consultant quickly apologized, took his clothes and followed him.

Liang Jiugong naturally saw that this noble man came well prepared.

So he was very sensible and went to order tea for the lady. In his opinion, today's incident was worth talking about.

The person who served the tea was naturally Aunt Shuyu. Malu and Aunt Shuyu exchanged glances for a moment, and it was as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Kangxi had already changed and came out. He was trying to move his hands and feet and found that this clothes was not only extremely warm, but also very close-fitting, allowing people to move very flexibly, which was different from ordinary clothes with wide robes and large sleeves.

Moreover, it is really warm! Kangxi's Palace of Heavenly Purity is naturally not short of charcoal fires, but he is very particular about health preservation and follows the seasons, so the temperature of the Palace of Heavenly Purity will not be too high.

At this time, he even had a thin layer of sweat on his body!

When Kangxi found out, he was so surprised that he walked out directly, scaring his advisor Liang Jiugong and others.

My ancestor! If you catch a cold, will we still have our heads?

Kangxi was in high spirits outside and walked briskly. He also found that this dress was even windproof! Because the cuffs and collar were relatively small, the wind could not get in at all, and other places were not windproof.

He really couldn't describe how happy he was. This meant that he was one step closer to becoming the greatest emperor of all time!

In ancient times, many people died of freezing and starvation every year. A large part of the reason for freezing and starvation was that there was not enough charcoal to cook and keep warm.

Now with such precious clothes, a person only needs one piece to survive many winters.

Not to mention that the charcoal originally used for heating can be saved and used for other purposes.

Is this dress expensive? Is the process difficult? Can it be popularized?

Even if it cannot be promoted, it is still very useful for generals and soldiers on the front line.

Especially Mongolia!

As Kangxi took those few steps back to the Qianqing Palace, hundreds of questions had already run through his mind.

As soon as he entered the room and saw Malu, he felt that the woman in front of him was such a treasure, and quickly threw a series of questions at her.

Malu did not shy away from the question. She pressed her temple and said in a strange way, "Good emperor, you have so many questions. Which one should I answer first? Can you allow me to sit down and talk to you slowly?"

Kangxi laughed and sat down first. He even pushed the teacup forward himself, motioning for Malu to sit over there and moisten his throat before answering.

This stunned Shu Yu and the others. This was the first time that the emperor treated the concubines in the harem like this. He had always treated the ministers like this before.

If Malu knew this, he might laugh out loud. At this moment, wasn't he also one of his ministers?

Malu had already sat down and continued what she had said before: "I thought that I should find a new material. After much thought, the only thing I could find was animal fur, which is just my share... I also wanted to save it for my child to marry, so after much thought, I chose wool."

Kangxi was a little amused when he heard this: "Can I still treat this kid badly?"

Malu shook her handkerchief, and the pink silk handkerchief brushed Kangxi's nose lightly: "What the emperor gave is what the emperor gave, and what mother gave is what mother gave. The more the better."

After the teasing, she continued, "I found some wool and tried a few simple finishing methods. As expected, I made some material. Later, thanks to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I got a convenient machine, which made it even faster."

She only said this, but the people in the Imperial Household Department naturally appreciated her kindness.

They are all wrapped, although the tail is difficult to get rid of in the later stage, this will be left for my son to solve.

Let me borrow your help for now!

Kangxi was even more delighted: "Then bring the machine to me to have a look."

Malu pretended to be puzzled: "What are you looking at that machine for? I have a beautiful girl who is more beautiful than a flower standing in front of you!"

Kangxi laughed: "Will it take time to get the machine? I'll look at you first, I'll look at you first."
