"You are an elder, and the younger should salute you." Jiayin was generous, asked Su Mala to take a seat, and ordered his younger brother Feiyangu to salute Su Mala.

Although Su Mala is said to be a palace maid, she is almost above 10,000 people under one person in the Forbidden City, and when the prince and lord of the court see her, they are all respectful, and her words and deeds outside represent the will of the queen mother.

The identity of a slave has the dignity of a master, and everyone respects Su Mala, which is completely different from a villain like Wu Liangfu. Although everyone is now smiling at Wu Liangfu, Wu Liangfu will always be just a dog slave in their eyes.

Su Mala generously proposed to talk to Jia Yin alone, and the step-wife ordered Jia Yin to invite her aunt to the backyard boudoir, and she naturally wanted to let the people in the palace. Look at your own daughter.

Not to mention anything else, in addition to their natural beauty, their Jiayin is also full of poetry and books, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there is no one in the palace who can compare.

Sure enough, as Su Mala saw, in the boudoir of the eldest lady, there were neatly stacked ancient books and classics on the shelves, a zither under the window, and a game of chess on the kang table that had not been finished.

"In the Qianqing Palace, there are a few calligraphy and paintings of young ladies, and the emperor cherishes them very much." Su Mala said, "And the Queen Mother loves to read, and she has read countless serious books and idle books, so she must be able to talk to you very much." ”

"Slaves only know a few words." mentioned those calligraphy and paintings, Jia Yin was inevitably embarrassed, and said humbly, "As for the calligraphy and paintings in the Qianqing Palace...... The slave only learned last year that a few of the bad works that were auctioned when raising funds for charity, and the Chinese characters in the old school, were sent to the capital. ”

"It's Prince An who solves the emperor's lovesickness." Su Mala said, "It's not something unsightly, I hope Miss won't misunderstand the emperor's intentions." ”

"Slaves don't dare to ......"

"Miss, you don't have to be so polite to slaves." Su Mala said, "In addition to not yet entering the palace and not yet carrying out the canonization ceremony, your identity is already the emperor's concubine, which is now known to the world." ”

Jia Yin bowed and said, "Yes, auntie, I know." ”

Su Mala was very relieved to see that this child knew how to be flexible, and said: "The emperor knows the purpose of the slave and maid, so the slave and maid are straight to the point, and they don't say anything about going around in circles." The young lady suddenly returned from the county lord's mansion, did she really want to serve her parents and teach her younger brother, or was there another reason? ”

Jia Yin looked at Su Mala in embarrassment, she couldn't say that, but through each other's eyes, she could be sure that Su Mala had guessed.

"Miss, it is his fate for whom the regent lives and dies, and his loyal soul will be buried under the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes."

Su Mala said: "As a daughter, the county lord can't accept the reality of the death of her parents, everyone feels sorry for her and understands her, but this is human favor and morality, and it is completely different from the government and the government." At the very least, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Jia Yin's heart fell back into her stomach at once, and she let go of her courage and said: "Auntie, don't hide it from you, the county wants me to serve the emperor well, give birth to children for the emperor, please the emperor, and look forward to rehabilitating the regent as soon as possible." ”

Su Mala sighed, stepped forward and asked Jia Yin to sit down: "Miss, from now on, forget these words, the queen mother will not ask you again, and the emperor will not remember these words." ”

Jia Yin was timid: "Auntie, can I forget?" ”

Su Mala nodded firmly: "I must forget, as for the county lord of Dongguo, she does not often enter the palace, and you will not meet often in the future, so you don't have to be afraid." The emperor pities you and loves you, and wholeheartedly wants to take you into the palace to live a comfortable and peaceful life, Miss Don't live up to the emperor's wishes. ”

"But...... Aunt Su Mala, how can I be virtuous, why would I let the emperor remember it so much? Jia Yin looked at Su Mala blankly, "The emperor took me into the palace so high-profilely, I don't know how to deal with myself in the palace." ”

Su Mala said: "The emperor will explain the love hereto to you slowly." ”

"Yes."

"The daughter of Eight Banners does not have the right to choose her own destiny, but how she will live her life in the future depends on you. As for the ladies in the palace, they have no choice, if they can't accept you and treat you well in the future, it is a sin, they must live in harmony with you, this is their fate, you don't need to worry about it. ”

Jia Yin stared at Su Mala, a woman with a kind face and gentle words, with an awe-inspiring nobility.

The words she said were cruel, but they were all unchangeable realities, and even when she said these words, it was Su Mala's own mission.

"Auntie, I see." Jia Yin got up and blessed the blessing, "Please tell the queen mother and the emperor on your behalf, so that the slave will patiently wait for the day when she enters the palace, but I hope that I can serve the queen mother and serve the emperor in the future." ”

"Miss is so sensible, the Queen Mother must be very pleased." Su Mala smiled, "You can enter the palace with peace of mind, it's time for you to enjoy your happiness." ”

Having said that, the future is uncertain, and Jia Yin is always uneasy.

She was ruthless and desireless, had no illusions about the emperor, and couldn't imagine how she would face the days of skin-to-skin with the emperor after entering the palace, but being a virtuous and virtuous concubine was already her destined mission in this life.

When sending Su Mala out of the house, mentioning the past when the young emperor took refuge in her grandfather's house, Jia Yin said: "Auntie, I haven't mentioned it to anyone, not even Concubine Tong Niangniang, who slept in the same bed in the past. ”

"Can you mention it to someone, the emperor will give you an answer, if the young lady has anything in her heart, just say it to the emperor in the future." But Su Mala asked again, "Miss, is the candy sent by the slave and maid back then sweet?" ”

Jia Yin's memories were reminded of her childhood, and she also recalled that past when she was drafted more than four years ago, and she also fantasized about how she would mention that experience to the emperor if she was selected to enter the palace.

But she soon let go of all illusions about court life, one was the reality that she was eliminated by the emperor, and the other was the miserable and pitiful experience of Yuan Xi's sister after entering the palace, which made her full of fear of everything in the Forbidden City.

Two years later, when she received the holy decree and was accused of marrying into the Xiao family, Jia Yin never thought that she could return to the capital.

"Take care, Miss." Su Mala was about to leave, bowed and said, "When we meet again, the slave and maid should salute you properly." ”

Jia Yin blessed his body, ordered Tianxiang to lift the sedan curtain for Su Mala, walked down the steps, and watched the sedan chair go away.

However, in front of the official residence, at the other end of the road, the sedan chair of the county lord's mansion was parked on the side of the road, and Dong Ge stood on the road, and the sun shone from behind her, making her face completely in shadow.

Stepwife and Jia Yin didn't notice the movement at this end, and helped each other into the door, Dong Gu smiled suspiciously, turned around and ordered his subordinates: "Go back." ”

In the Forbidden City, Fu Lin rushed to Cining Palace, and pulled Su Mala to speak in the tea room, Su Mala smiled: "You are not decent like this, the Queen Mother should nag you when she knows, there is nothing that cannot be said, the emperor and the slave maid went to the Queen Mother to say." ”

In all the conversations in the Eshuo Mansion today, Su Mala told the Queen Mother and the Emperor without saying a word, and was shocked to hear that Dong Gu threatened Jiayin and ordered her to influence herself, so that she could rehabilitate Dolgon in the future, and Fu Lin was stunned.

Yu'er glanced at him coldly: "When I told the emperor, wasn't the emperor very impatient?" ”

Fulin knelt down on one knee: "Eniang, it's my son who is wrong." ”

Yu'er said: "The emperor wants to understand now, it's not too late." Regardless of whether Jia Yin, the child, has the integrity to keep his promises, after all, there are priorities and cannot be generalized. But at least, she didn't have a clean heart. ”

"Yes." Fu Lin did not hesitate to agree.

"Your Majesty, cherish it." Yu'er said, "The fate of other girls has been manipulated again and again, but please don't be tricked again and again." ”

Fu Lin was excited in his heart, there was nothing more pleasing to him than his mother being able to accept Jia Yin, and he excitedly bowed to his mother, and the joy that overflowed from his body could not be hidden, which made Yu'er feel funny and helpless.

Watching her son leave with gusto, Yu'er sighed with a smile: "Aside from the world, if he is not the emperor, this young man's appearance of love is really loving and pitiful." Just by looking at it, you will feel that there are flowers or trees in this world, Su Mala, love is the most beautiful existence in the world, right? ”

"Slaves don't understand ......"

"Back then, I could be stupidly in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion and keep looking at him."

Su Mala's heart tightened, and when she raised her eyes, she saw flickering tears in Gege's eyes.

The north wind was tight, the first snow fell, just when the first snow in the capital in the old year, Dong Jiayin's ex-husband died young, so the filial piety period of one year arrived.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the excitement in the Forbidden City is not much different every year, but now Princess Brother will run and jump, the villain walks around the house, and then Wusu promised and Barya to give birth to two little princesses in late autumn, which is very prosperous.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first month of the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, and the emperor decreed that Dong Ejiayin, the daughter of the commander of the protector army, was the virtuous concubine, the daughter of the king of Horqin Erdeni County, Borzigit, was the concubine Jing, and the daughter of the prince of Horqin Town, Borzigit, was the concubine, and the three concubines would enter the palace together in early February.

At the end of the first month, it is the emperor's longevity, because the newcomer enters the palace the next day, this year's longevity festival everything is simple, only in Cining Palace to set up a family banquet.

In the afternoon, Barya took her eldest daughter to Jingren Palace, and met Yuan Xi to change her clothes, the red and gorgeous palace robes, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, festive and noble.

But while helping her tie the belt, Barya said softly: "It's okay for Korqin to come, that one will be a concubine as soon as he enters the palace, and the emperor will promote you to a liter, has the emperor forgotten." ”

Yuan Xi disagreed: "I don't care. ”

Barya felt aggrieved for Yuan Xi in her heart: "Concubine Xian...... Where does the word virtuous come from? ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "What's wrong with my sister, you have always ignored it." ”

Barya said: "I'm all good myself, but what about you, busy for the queen mother, doing your best to give you a concubine, don't you think it costs money?" ”
