Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 112
Baozhu wondered, "Can he wait for you until thirty?"

"I can't wait anymore." Li Qiaoer said hilariously, "He has me in his heart, and I have his in my heart."

Liuli scolded with a smile: "You are shameless."

They just laughed outside, their voices kept low.

Yaliqi brought tea, and Liuli brought it in.

Yaliqi stood beside Yin Shuang'er and pulled Yin Shuang'er's sleeve. Yin Shuang'er turned sideways, wiped away her tears, and then turned around again.

Li Qiaoer looked away and back again.

She had heard from Aunt Baozhu that Yin Shuang'er was the one who served the master at first, but later went to Yanxi Palace to take care of the young master, and now the young master died only when he died.

It's just that Yin Shuang'er has been like this since she called back, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

Baozhu tugged at her: "Okay, go to the kitchen and ask to prepare more dishes that the two little masters like to eat. I guess the little master will stay for dinner today."

Li Qiaoer went.

Then Baozhu went to Yin Shuang'er and persuaded her: "You can rest for a few days before coming back, this is the master's permission."

Yin Shuang'er couldn't help crying when she opened her mouth, and after a while, she said with a crying voice: "Master is benevolent, but I can't do this."

Baozhu sighed, not knowing what to say.

Liuli put tea and snacks on and came out again. Seeing this, she put her arms around Yin Shuang'er and smiled, "Ah, why do you still put two peaches on your eyes?"

Yin Shuang'er was so teased by her that she couldn't cry anymore.

Liuli comforted her and said: "I know you love the little master, don't worry, I will definitely persuade the master to let you go if there is work to serve the little master in the future."

Yin Shuang'er wanted to say that she didn't mean it, but she couldn't, so she gave up.

A few people chatted a few gossips, and when it was dinner time, Liuli went in to inquire.

Umalu asked Yinzhen to sleep for a while before serving dinner.

Although he washed his face, Yinzhen was still a little sleepy and listless: "When will Er Niang go to see my sister, Mama Tong asked me to go with Er Niang."

Hearing this, Umalu understood the plan of the imperial concubine Tong Jia, but she didn't tell Yinzhen, she just agreed and said it later.

Although Umalu had taken care of his body for a while, it was not very good after all.

This time around the Great Wall, she naturally did not follow.

After recuperating for a long time, she took Yinzhen to sit in the Empress Dowager's palace.

The empress dowager muttered: "It's such a hot day, if you're not in good health, don't come here."

Umalu smiled and said: "Isn't this the slave who hasn't come for several months? I don't know when the next time I will go out. I think, I should come to see the master."

She continued: "Besides, the fourth child always wants to visit my sister, and if I accept the child, there is no reason to miss the appointment."

The empress dowager didn't like her, but she didn't hate her too much now, so she said, "Since you're here, you might as well take Ruyi back to raise her for a few days."

As he said that, he asked Na Lantu to take out the child.

Yinzhen sat and listened at first, and after Ruyi carried her out, he went to tease Ruyi.

The empress dowager talked to her about the affairs in the palace, and said that Yuan Qingqing still had the blessing of Kangxi.

Umalu looked calm and said with a smile: "That's her blessing."

The empress dowager mentioned a few other things, most of which were about being favored by concubines, seeing that Umalu was still unremarkable, she withdrew from talking about sex.Just ask her to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

Umalu left with two children.

Seeing her leave, the empress dowager sighed in her heart: "Adversity is not frustrating, and prosperity is not arrogant. Either you are loyal or you are treacherous."

"How do you say that?" Na Lantu asked.

The Empress Dowager said: "Either she wants more than these things in her heart; or she always stays out of it and doesn't care about the things she encounters. No matter what it is, it is not comparable to ordinary women."

The empress dowager sighed: "I have lived half a hundred now, and I just realized that everyone has their cuteness."

Na Lantu said with a smile: "The queen mother also has her own cuteness."

The Empress Dowager laughed and cursed, but she didn't say anything, but fell into the memory.

After many years, she was finally able to calmly look back at her past, and she also reconciled with the people, things, and things in the past one by one.

She said: "I am very good, and the late emperor is also very good, but we did not meet at a good time, so that's it."

When she first came to the Forbidden City, the first emperor treated her very well.

She was only 15 years old at that time, and the late emperor was afraid that she would not adapt to the climate, so he sent more people to take care of her, and Qiulan came to her at that time.

Every time the late emperor got something from the Mongolian tribe, he would reward her with a share, for fear that she would miss her homeland.

The first emperor also flew a kite with her.

The first emperor said: "Tuoya, cut the string when flying the kite, and let the kite go out and look around for you."

The late emperor also read Han poems and scriptures to her. She didn't like it, couldn't understand it, and didn't want to hear it anymore, so the late emperor indulged her.

The first emperor was also very kind to her.

she thinks.

It's just that there are many divergent paths in the intestines, many divergent paths, and hardships are difficult.Thousands of times go wrong, many divergent paths, and it is difficult for the intestines to suffer.

Since then, the youth has been wasted.

She sighed and refused to think about it any further.

Umalu went to the Empress Dowager's place, the Empress Dowager was chatting with the palace people, and asked Lagu Su Ma to bring her in and chat with her.

Those palace people went down.

The Empress Dowager said: "You just came from the Empress Dowager?"

Umalu replied: "Yes."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said: "Relax, my palace doesn't stick to these things, just say what you have to say."

Umalu smiled and said, "I have nothing to say, I just brought the child to meet the master."

The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction: "Doesn't this look good?"

Umalu smiled without saying a word.

The Empress Dowager asked her: "Is there any suitable girl in your palace? I see some good boys."

Umalu was taken aback, and went straight back: "They're all about the same age, but I can't guarantee what they think."

"Then go back and have a look."

Umalu responded: "Okay."

The Empress Dowager said to her again: "You are now a mother-in-law. Although the children are still young, you should plan early about seeing others."

Umalu blinked: "There is the emperor..."

The Empress Dowager hated that iron could not be made into steel: "He is covered in iron, and he can drive a few nails. After he has finished his work in court, he is also busy in the palace. If he can't remember for a while, the marriage will be delayed."

She muttered: "Last year he proposed marriage to the prince, the marriage is fixed, and I don't know when we will get married."

The few times Umalu came here before, the Empress Dowager was not in good health, so she just said a few words of greetings and then left. At this moment, it was time for the Empress Dowager to recover.

She felt a little strange.

It's rare for her to deal with such a straightforward person, and she herself is used to talking to others several times.

I eat with my heart all day long.

Upon hearing this, Umalu had no choice but to laugh and said, "The servant will remember."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "That's true."

She said again: "Why do you copy the scriptures only to the Queen Mother, not to me?"

"I'm afraid I'll disturb the master's peace."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "You are not afraid of disturbing her, but you are also afraid of disturbing me. When you have finished copying the scriptures, when will you send me a copy. Then we will offer together, so as to avoid disasters and solve difficulties."

Umalu also relaxed a little, and hurriedly responded: "Okay."

The Empress Dowager said with satisfaction: "It's all a family. Be more comfortable. When you are in better health, you can move around more. Walking around, the favor becomes thicker. Staying in the house every day, not to mention that there are not many favors, everyone loves you." It's going to be bad."

Umalu blinked and listened obediently.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, beckoned her to come forward, touched her hand, put a jade bracelet on her, and pinched her face.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "You are so good, I think of the emperor when he was a child."

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded a bit: "Maybe his biological mother is Han Chinese, and maybe it's because he hasn't seen his parents too much. When he first entered the palace, he listened quietly to what he said, at most Just smile."

"I told him, don't be afraid, the emperor's grandmother is with you." The Empress Dowager said to Umalu, "In the blink of an eye, he's already grown up..."

She compared her to her.

Aunt Su Ma hurriedly called out: "Master."

The Empress Dowager returned to her senses and smiled at Umalu: "It's okay, it's okay, I just saw you and thought of the emperor when he was a child."

She added: "If you are free, come to my place for a walk."

She asked Aunt Su Ma to help her back to the inner room: "I'm tired, you take the children back, if you have time, come and go."

She repeated it again.

Umalu saluted.

After the empress dowager left, Umalu took the children away.

Umalu got on the chariot and went back to the palace.

Ruyi and Yinzhen were taken back to the Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen was a little older than before, not like when she was a child, crying and clamoring to return to the Qiangong Palace.

Ruyi's wet nurse also came along, and there were people she knew well, so Ruyi was obedient.

A few people had a few days of happy life.

Yinzhen loves to eat shabu-shabu, and Umalu also ate with him for a few days.

As for Ruyi, feed her porridge.

When Yinzhen left, she asked her, "Emiang, can I see my sister in the future?"

Umalu kept in mind her promise to the imperial concubine Tong Jia, and only replied: "If you miss her, just ask your mother Tong to take you to the Empress Dowager's Palace."

Yinzhen agreed.

The children went back to their respective palaces, and the Yonghe Palace suddenly became cold.

Liuli was speechless: "I didn't feel it before, but now that the little masters have left, I feel a little deserted."

Umalu smiled lightly: "That's why all women in the harem want a child, not to mention fighting for power, at least the palace is not so difficult."

Hearing this, Liuli put a coat on her, and said: "Master's health is not good... If it is better, there will be a lot of elder brothers and princesses who can be raised under the name of the master, and then the palace will be more lively."

"We'll talk about it at that time." Umalu sat at the table and began to copy scriptures.

She used to love flipping through books, but now, she flips through Huangting and Buddhist scriptures far more than other idle books.

Where can she still read those scripts?
On the other hand, Kangxi went to Yaksa during his tour outside the Great Wall this time. He saw that the Qing army under the leadership of Peng Chun repelled the Luocha army, and then destroyed Yaksa city. Aihui and Moergen garrisoned fields to strengthen the defense of the northern part of the Great Wall.The rest returned to court in class.

Kangxi was satisfied in his heart, so he rewarded him a lot.

After returning to the Forbidden City, let's relax for a few days.

In August, the Sandaogou incident occurred in which North Korean border residents crossed the border to kill people. Zhezi did not arrive in the Forbidden City until early September.

The memorial states the facts: Dozens of border residents from Hamgyong Road and Pyongan Road in the Kingdom of Korea smuggled across the Yalu River with knives, guns and shotguns. One person was killed by an arrow and several were injured.

Kangxi invited ministers to discuss.

Nalan Mingzhu said: "This matter can be done as usual, and it should be taken lightly. It will not only show the majesty of our great country, but also make them feel awe."

But Tong Guowei said: "There have been old rules in the court, but they have been banned repeatedly. I think it failed to deter them. According to the slaves, it is better to take it again and never let it go, so as not to think that they can deceive the Qing Dynasty."

Dong Efeiyang said: "The servant thinks what Master Tong said has some truth. You and other small countries are afraid of prestige but not morality. Since they are good at speaking and don't listen, then we can only talk about it after hurting them."

Kangxi joked: "It seems that these days, you have also worked hard. It really is three days after Shibai, you should look at it with admiration."

Fei Yanggu touched the back of his head and smiled.

Kangxi looked around at the ministers, and said: "Then the Ministry of Rites will issue a document ordering North Korea to quickly arrest the criminals and bring them to justice, and wait for our court to send people to interrogate them."

He also asked the Ministry of Rites to name and prosecute the king of North Korea for his negligence of border defense in the imperial edict, and investigate the king.

Subsequently, the Qing court issued an imperial edict, informing North Korea in the name of Kangxi that Shangguo would send an envoy to interrogate the prisoners and the local officials in charge together with the king of North Korea.

Let's just say it's peaceful.

On September 27, Concubine Niu Hulu gave birth to the emperor's eleventh daughter.

The Yongshou Palace has already prepared things.

When Imperial Concubine Niu Hulu found out that she was a princess, although she was a little disappointed, she also felt that it would be nice to have a princess beside her.

She also asked the people around her to prepare some doll toys, which were tested before they were put into the side hall, so that they could be used to amuse the girl.

Knowing that it was Ge Ge, Kangxi acquiesced in keeping the child with Concubine Niu Hulu.

It's just an unwritten rule for Gege to keep it for himself and elder brother to send it to a high-ranking concubine or concubine.

If the emperor is willing, the biological mother can also personally raise her elder brother; Gege can also take it to a high-ranking concubine or dowager.

It all depends on the meaning of the emperor.

If Empress Renxiao survived, Prince Yinreng would have been raised by the Hesheli family himself; and Wugege Ruyi, born to Umalu, would have been raised under the Empress Dowager's name, not by himself.

Rules are rules, but they are not fixed. There is always a "but".

Concubine Niu Hulu didn't know about her second child, and she almost left her.

In November, when the court was discussing affairs, Kangxi sighed: "If you want to benefit the people, there is no better way than exempting them from money and grain taxes. If you want the people to live happily and have a rich family property, you can only have a lot of money." Tax cuts and exemptions, so that they can get benefits."

Then he said: "When the people of Henan and Hubei were in Ping San Francisco, they spent a lot of money on transfers of [-] million yuan. I would like to specially reduce half of the money and food that should be paid in these two provinces next year, and all the money and food that have not been paid this year will be exempted." sign."

　Original text: "If you want to benefit the people, there is nothing like exempting money and food. If you want to make the people happy and profitable, you can only reduce the tax and rent frequently, so that the common people can benefit from it."
