The Virtuous Concubine

Malu is now a popular concubine, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally dared not neglect her. Soon, the back garden used several small flower beds to cultivate Malu's field. Malu also asked someone to make a swing, with hemp rope and wooden boards, which was simple and sturdy. With the well next to it and the field next to the well, it has a pastoral atmosphere. Moreover, this is a relatively corner location in the back garden, so there will be no smell after fertilizing.

Bai Fu sighed as she watched her master smiling in the sun. She knew that Malu's mind was not on the flowers and plants, but that she had found a sense of peace and freedom in this little world of her own. As Malu's personal maid, Bai Fu naturally had a very deep understanding of her master.

"Master, the sun is strong, you should go inside and rest for a while." Bai Fu advised softly. In the palace, white is considered beautiful. If you get tanned, you don't know how many prescriptions you will need to use to get back to normal.

Malu waved his hand, still immersed in his own world, discussing with the system what to plant first: "It's rare to have such good sunshine, I'll stay a little longer."

Bai Fu looked at Malu, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness. The master might have been more considerate of the emperor's favor before, but now that she has a child, she can be said to be even more unscrupulous. "Then I will prepare some tea and snacks for the master. The master can eat something if she is tired." After Bai Fu said this, she told Bai Xia to take good care of the master and turned to walk into the house.

Malu basked in the sun for a while, and when she saw the sun gradually rising, she turned around and went to sit on the swing. The swing swayed gently, making a creaking sound. She closed her eyes, feeling the gentle breeze brushing across her cheeks, and the rustling sound of flowers and plants swaying in the wind. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten her identity in the harem, and the intrigues and deceptions. She just felt that she was an ordinary free person, enjoying her own moment of peace.

The system also felt that this moment was exceptionally beautiful and quietly captured it.

Unfortunately, this moment didn't last long. The strange noise in the bushes instantly attracted everyone's attention. Malu opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound alertly. Bai Xia immediately stood in front of Malu, ready to protect his master.

However, after everyone was on guard for a moment, a little rabbit jumped out from the bushes, looked around curiously, and then jumped away. Malu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Bai Xia also relaxed, but still felt that something was not right: "Master, shall we go? It's almost time for dinner."

Malu nodded and went back with the palace maids and eunuchs. But she didn't think there were only rabbits in the bushes. Her sense of smell was super sensitive because of cooking and the pills of the system. She smelled the smell of blood - very faint, but there it was. And no one in Yonghe Palace raised rabbits, and the small kitchen was not officially built, so where did the rabbits come from?

She directly asked the system to start the video, set the location to outside the bushes, and then pretended to be tired, letting Bai Xia Bai Fu watch over her while she lay on the bed and stared at the bushes that were only rustling in the breeze. But after watching for a long time, there seemed to be no movement.

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

Malu thought about it and decided to eat while watching the video. Bai Xia had urged her several times, and it would be abnormal if she didn't get up. So Malu got up, washed and sat at the table. This was the first time she had a good meal after becoming a concubine. Two days after becoming a concubine, Empress Niuhulu passed away. She had to eat vegetarian food for a month of mourning, and she couldn't eat meat and fish in the first few days of mourning. Her body couldn't stand it.

Today's appetizers are osmanthus candied lotus root and fish slices in fermented wine. The crispness of the lotus root slices, the sweetness of the osmanthus, and the freshness of the mandarin fish make them melt in your mouth. For the main course, the braised sea cucumber is soft and delicate, and the sweet, sour and slightly spicy Kung Pao chicken is really delicious. The stewed mutton and cabbage are also very tasty. It is still cold in Beijing today, and there are not many fresh vegetables, so cabbage and leeks are still the main vegetables in the palace dishes.

There are two soups, one is bird's nest and white fungus soup, the other is old duck soup, which is nourishing and delicious. The other vegetarian dishes and staple food are jade tofu and eight-treasure rice. Malu likes to mash the tofu and mix it with rice, which perfectly combines the delicate tofu with the sweet fragrance of the eight-treasure rice.

Finally, I ate a few more bites of the steamed yogurt with sugar, which was really a heavenly day. But before I had even taken two bites of the steamed yogurt with sugar, there was movement in the video! !

Malu's expression did not change at all. He only slowed down the speed of eating the steamed cheese with sugar, and slowly looked at what kind of great immortal could hide in the bushes for almost an afternoon. But this person seemed to be extremely cautious, or extremely weak? The bushes only moved sparsely a few times. If it was a passerby, he might just think that the wind was a little stronger.

But Malu knew that there must be someone inside. Not to mention the rabbit, the video has been running for so long, and not even a bug has come out. It's a pity that the position of the camera in the system's video function cannot be set so finely, and it can only see the situation in a certain location, otherwise Malu would have to take a face-to-face shot.

Fortunately, Kangxi did not turn over his own card today and went to Concubine Tong. Then let's keep this video on! Malu tried makeup in front of the mirror while distracting herself to see if there was any movement in the video. Sure enough, at night, when the palace was about to close the door, a hand stretched out from the bushes!

Malu, who had been watching the video, held her breath when she saw this scene - this was too scary! ! She couldn't help but look around, and seeing the old and weak palace maids and eunuchs around her, she felt very worried: "Bai Xia, hurry up, ask Dachun to bring the Fourth Prince over to me, and ask Jingyi and a few wet nurses to come over as well."

After that, he asked Bai Fu to quietly gather the palace maids to the flower hall, and not to leave any of them, and not to make any noise. If anyone made any noise, they would be beaten to death and thrown out of the palace. It was the first time that Bai Fu saw Ma Lu speak so harshly, so she quickly went downstairs to quietly call for help. Ma Lu saw the two men leave and continued to watch the video.

She thought that the small garden was far away from the main hall of Yonghe Palace, and as long as the palace servants didn't make too much noise, he shouldn't notice it.

But why him? Because the hands in the video have distinct joints, and are slender and strong. There are calluses on the wrists and knuckles from practicing martial arts, and they are very thick! She has seen her father and brother practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she knows exactly where calluses would grow. But this person seems to be able to write?

The same places where I got calluses from practicing calligraphy also have calluses on this person's hands.

I didn't expect that this villain is both civil and military.

Malu was amused by his own discovery. The hand in the video stretched out and groped on the ground for a while, then parted the grass and seemed to look for a while, then retracted.

But in just a short moment, Malu could tell that the man was seriously injured. The clothes of the palace guards were stained with blood and the original color could hardly be seen. If it were not for the special shape, it would be really difficult to distinguish. Malu was very entangled now. What should she do now?

If I expose this person, he will lie in my palace for a day! I will have no way to defend myself. If I don't expose this person, and this person has evil intentions, what should I do? In this palace, except for Dachun who knows some kung fu, everyone else is old and weak, and no one can fight.
