Chapter Eighteen

Although Umaru seems ignorant, it does not mean that she really does not know.

She thought carefully in her mind.

Although she had been implicated because of Aunt Dai Jia's incident before, she still felt that what the steward aunt and others said was right.

This is often the case in this world. The smarter you act, the more wary others will be of you; and when you act honest and clumsy, they will feel at ease with you.

This is considered a life-saving method in the palace.

She did a good job, but she didn't expect that her flaw would be exposed for a moment.

If she was really Uyamalu, she would know that her personality at home was no different from her current personality - at least she behaved the same, honest and not a troublemaker.

But she is not.

So she's kneeling here now.

She figured it out and knew how to answer, but she looked up slightly and saw that Kangxi had been reading, so she chose to shut up.

Kangxi turned the page halfway and looked down at her.

She lowered her head and wandered to the sky. The intense feeling of being stared at brought her back to her senses.

"Have you thought about what to say?"

"The slave is stupid and doesn't understand the master's words. The slave only knows how to serve the master with his heart. How can he know anything else." She said obediently, "After the slave entered the palace, I met Mafa several times. Marfa warned the slave every time,

Serve your master with all your heart."

Kangxi stared at her expression carefully and laughed: "Get up."

She stood up and stood aside.

"You blame me in your heart."

"If the master wants to punish the slave, the slave must have done something wrong."

Kangxi hooked his hand at her, and she stepped forward.

She was sat down on the couch.

Kangxi looked at her: "You are very beautiful."

Before she spoke, Kangxi touched her eyes: "Especially these eyes, they are not like ordinary women."

"Slave..."

Kangxi looked at her steadily and said casually: "Okay, no need to say anything. As long as you are not a person who rebels against the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty, you can love whatever you want. Rather, I like your eyes better."

"Vibrant and able to see through everything."

Umaru pretended not to hear, carefully chose a word that was not eye-catching, and said: "Are there still people who are rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty?"

"Well." Kangxi put the book aside, still looking careless, "To the Han people, we are just the Manchu Tatars. They have always wanted to expel the Qing court. However, after all, this world is inhabited by the capable.

"

He smiled, sober and transparent: "There is no immortal country in this world, and there is no immortal person. Who is the emperor who doesn't want his world to last forever? But in the end, it will only last for a few years or decades, and it will not last for a long time."

Only a hundred years."

"The master is smart." Umaru could only say this.

Kangxi kissed her cheek: "I'm not smart. All I can do is be down-to-earth and make the country under my rule prosperous."

Umaru suddenly looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi liked her look and teased: "Why, I scared you."

Umaru quickly came to his senses and lowered his head again: "I didn't understand what the master said. But I thought, this kind of words are not something that a slave can listen to."

"You have such a pair of eyes, how can you be a fool?" Kangxi really loved her eyes. They were bright and clear, as vast as the sky, and they looked like they had not been restricted by shackles.

Very different from the people in this palace.

Kangxi kissed her cheek: "This world belongs to me, and I naturally want to make this world prosperous. You are mine, and if you are willing to hide your clumsiness, I will allow you to hide your clumsiness."

He kissed her eyes, densely, never leaving a single point.

As he said, he loved her eyes so much.

The clothes are scattered and the temples are messy.

When she was pressed on the couch, a Buddhist sutra rang in her mind: You love my heart, I pity your appearance, and because of this cause and condition, it has been entangled for hundreds of thousands of kalpas.

She respects him as the last founder of the "Kang, Yong, and Qian Dynasties" in modern history, and he loves the unrestrained expression in her eyes.

After the scene, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to bring the ointment and handed it to her.

"Go back and use it."

Umaru accepted it: "Thank you, Master."

She withdrew.

Liang Jiugong asked people to tidy up the palace.

Kangxi looked at her back and smiled.

Liang Jiugong thought for a moment and asked, "If I like her, why don't you grant her a title?"

"After being granted a title, she would be boring." Kangxi suppressed his smile.

Liang Jiugong made a mental note and stopped asking.

Umaru returned to the tea house, entered the inner room, and began to apply medicine. Her legs turned blue from the pain.

After taking the medicine, the blue color disappeared faster than before.

Today, she and Chen Jiayi took shifts. Now she came back and entered the inner room, and Chen Jiayi did not dare to rush her.

Chen Jiayi felt a little guilty in her heart. She was indeed uncomfortable with Umaru diverting her attention before, but she also knew that she had done something wrong.

However, when Aunt Dai Jia was there, there were still people teaching her, but now that she was the only one, she didn't know what to do.

She looked into the room, thought about it, and prepared some tea.

Umaru came out, washed the smell of medicine on his hands, saw the tea, and sighed.

She didn't speak. Although she didn't intend to hurt Chen Jiayi, she didn't intend to forgive Chen Jiayi either.

If it weren't for Chen Jiayi, she might not be treated like Kangxi.

She took out needle and thread from the bamboo basket and embroidered slowly.

Naturally, her embroidery work was not good, but what could she do in the palace?

It's just a matter of working hard day by day to finish this life.

Fortunately, she still has the bracelet.

She finally had a way out.

Since then, Kangxi seemed to have dropped his suspicions about her and occasionally summoned her.

Little Eunuch Meng always came two or three times a month, which was not considered frequent, but such summons were quite intensive compared with other high-status concubines.

Eunuch Liang, who had punished her in the past, greeted her politely when he saw her later.

Although she has no status, she will be called into the palace every once in a while, and when she comes back, she will be covered with marks.

Who wouldn't know what happened?

Of course the entire Qianqing Palace knew what happened, but everyone watched tacitly, as if they were performing a mime.

This world belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and the most noble master in the world is here. Who dares to say anything?

They looked at her like a sacrificial lamb or a carp crossing a dragon gate.

She entered the inner sanctum.

Kangxi was waiting for her on the couch, just like before.

She exposed her neck, with a supple posture ready to be slaughtered, ready for you to take your pick.

Kangxi liked her for being knowledgeable, obedient and sensible.

What could bring greater joy to a person's heart than to see a person who is free and unrestrained, not daring to resist in front of himself?
