Kangxi was speechless: "There are many nuns and palace people in your palace."

"But I don't have a mother-in-law."

Kangxi had nothing to say, so he picked him up, flicked his forehead, and said to Umaru: "Elinzhu, don't feel bad for this kid. He should be enlightened by now. It's better to live alone."

.”

Umaru smiled, a little tiredly: "Baocheng, listen to your imperial father, you can come and see me after school is over."

"Okay." Although Baocheng was unwilling, Umaru said so, so he could only agree.

He turned to look at Kangxi: "I can still come see E Niang, right?"

Kangxi nodded and reminded: "But you can't call her Niang in front of others."

"Why?" Baocheng was confused.

Kangxi touched his forehead: "Your forehead is only Queen Renxiao."

Baocheng didn't understand how his wife could be a wooden sign, but he still nodded in agreement.

On the way back to Yuqing Palace, Baocheng asked Kangxi: "Can I really not live with the emperor and my mother?"

"Of course, Prince." Kangxi replied.

In 1679 AD, on the third day of June in the eighteenth year of Kangxi's reign, Emperor Kangxi ordered people to repair the Ming Fengci Hall between the Zhai Palace and Fengxian Hall in the east of the Forbidden City. It was renamed Yuqing Palace as the East Palace where the Crown Prince Baocheng lived.

To show favor.

Crown Prince Baocheng checked in on the same day.

The next day, the five-year-old Crown Prince Baocheng was riding with Kangxi in Jingshan and fired five arrows in succession, hitting a deer and four rabbits.

Baocheng came back carrying the dead rabbit: "Look, Mother."

Umaru's eyebrows curved: "The prince is awesome."

Baocheng turned his head and looked at her: "Why don't you call me Baocheng?"

"Because you are the prince." Umaru said calmly.

Baocheng shook his head, no longer thinking about it, but said: "I gave it to E Niang. E Niang will get better soon after taking it."

Umaru smiled: "Okay."

Kangxi followed behind and put the beads on her wrist that he asked Liang Jiugong to bring. "I wanted to give them to you last time, but I forgot about them."

"This has been opened to keep you safe."

Umaru responded: "Thank you sir."

Umaru felt better that day, and after the three of them had dinner together, they went to the back garden to play together.

Liang Jiugong dispersed the people in the imperial garden in advance.

Umalu saw the concubine leaving from a distance. She didn't say anything, but followed Kangxi silently.

Liuli supported her.

When she reached the pavilion, she sat down.

Kangxi took Baocheng around to play. Baocheng picked a flower and ran over to give Umaru a hairpin.

Kangxi walked over behind him, glanced at it, and admired it very much: "People are more beautiful than flowers."

Umaru blinked and said: "Everyone wants to ask Tan Lang with a smile, "Hua Qiang and my concubine are beautiful", but now it is unfair."

"If I like her, she is good in every way."

Baocheng murmured in a low voice: "E Niang is naturally good at everything."

Umaru smiled and fed Baocheng a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "You, let's have some cake."

Baocheng looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi sat down to drink tea and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, your mother-in-law is such a virtuous person. When she doesn't want to listen to what others say, the emperor is also stuffed with cakes by her."

Baocheng took the cake and ate it himself.

Kangxi looked at Uma Lu: "Speaking of which, how is the embroidery of the purse you agreed to be done?"

Umaru pretended to be dumbfounded: "What are you talking about?"

Kangxi smiled and said: "Naughty."

Umaru tried: "It's my fault."

Kangxi smiled and shook his head. He did not say anything to her, but looked at the pond full of lotus flowers in the imperial garden: "I only love the lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained, and touches the clear ripples without being evil..."

"It is straight in the middle and straight on the outside, without vines or branches."

Kangxi looked at her with a smile: "You only know a few words, huh?"

"This slave only knows a few words." Umaru replied.

Before Kangxi could speak, a young eunuch came over and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite you."

Kangxi stood up: "You sit down first."

"yes."

Kangxi left quickly, taking a large number of people with him.

Liang Jiugong walked to the corner and took a look. Prince Baocheng was accompanying Uma Lu, and there were other palace people there.

Finally, he turned around and left closely with Kangxi.

Not long after he left.

A woman wearing a light cyan butterfly cheongsam came towards me, with several palace people behind her, and she looked quite majestic.

Umaru stood up and was about to avoid it.

A palace maid came out from behind the woman, took two steps forward, and arrived in front of Umaru.

The beautiful palace maid, after seeing her, bowed and said, "My master, please let me go."

After a brief hesitation, Umaru looked at her and agreed, "Okay."

Umaru looked at the woman in the distance, took a deep breath, and walked over.

As she approached, she knelt down and greeted the people in the pavilion: "I have seen my master."

"Do you know me?" A soft and soft voice sounded.

Umaru said: "A slave is just a servant."

The implication is that she doesn't know who she is, just because she is a wrapper, she has to kneel down when she sees her.

The woman smiled and said, "My surname is Tong."

"This servant has met Concubine Tong."

Among the number of concubines in the palace, there was only one named Tong.

If you know your surname, you will know who you are.

Concubine Tong looked at her: "How could a well-behaved person like you do such a thing?"

She was still kneeling on the ground, looking down at the ground, never making eye contact with her, looking polite.

"The brother the emperor gave me to raise is your child, right?"

"As far as I'm concerned, Master, yes."

Concubine Tong walked forward, sat down in the pavilion, and called her: "Come and sit."

Umaru walked over and sat down according to the rules.

Concubine Tong dispersed the palace attendants who were following her. Umaru saw this and asked Liuli and Liuli who were following her to leave.

Maybe there was no one else here, so Concubine Tong didn't bother to make those appearances anymore. She put her hand on her abdomen, with a hint of confusion.

"I'm not much older than you. It's not like I can't have children, so why do I have to raise other people's children?"

This was not what Umaru should have heard, so she just didn't hear it and remained silent.

Concubine Tong looked at her and had to admit that the woman in front of her was well-behaved and obedient, so there was nothing wrong with her.

Before she met her, she had also heard rumors in the palace, which described the person in front of her as a foxy, gorgeous, charming, delicate and pretty person who confused the emperor's heart and did not look like a good family.

Now it seems that it is also an innocent daughter's family.

She sighed: "I asked you to come here for no other reason."

She said slowly: "Not long after Empress Renxiao died in childbirth, I was recruited into the palace. When Empress Xiaozhao was still alive, I was also in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, everyone knows what happened."

Umaru responded: "My master is virtuous and worthy of being the master."

Concubine Tong said with a wry smile: "Okay, you don't need to praise me, I was raised well by my family."
