The king often kowtowed to her instead of going back to ground his feet, which really confused Ma Yuan.

Could it be that this person wants her to help intercede, so as to avoid the pain of being grounded?

"Thank you Concubine De Gui for your righteous words today, otherwise I will be accused of seducing elder brother and have no way out." Wang Changzai didn't mind her indifference at all, and said gratefully: "I misunderstood your empress before, this time In the harem, only the empress is the most fair."

"Your Majesty, I was the one who was sorry for you in the past. I dressed up as you to attract the emperor's attention, but later I did something wrong and made you unhappy... I already knew my mistake, so I dare not expect your empress to forgive me. I hope my empress can give me a chance to reform myself. From now on, I will follow my mother's lead."

Ma Guan was surprised by this statement, but felt it was reasonable.Wang Changzai was not stupid at all, he finally recognized the situation after entering the palace and lowered his noble head.

"You don't have to be like this. I have never targeted anyone. As long as you keep yourself safe in the future, I will not deliberately make things difficult for you. The emperor ordered you to be confined for three months. You should go back quickly, lest you be caught again. "

"Thank you for reminding me, I will leave now." Wang Changzai secretly heaved a sigh of relief, kowtowed respectfully to Ma Guan again, and left with a smile.

She made the right bet, the Concubine Degui is indeed a person with clear grievances and grievances, as long as she does not make mistakes in the future, the other party will not intentionally embarrass her.

"Your Majesty, did you really let Wang Changzae go like this?" Yuan He asked in puzzlement when Wang Changzai walked away.

"She must have learned enough lessons during this time, at least she doesn't dare to do anything else in a short time, so ignore her for the time being. Let's go, let's go back." Ma Juan will not easily define Wang Changzai's good or bad, just doing business .

The responsibility this time is indeed not on Wang Changzai, and she will not intentionally frame her.

After all, the matter of Wang Changzai and eldest elder brother got out, and for a while, there were more slanders against Wang Changzai.There were also people who gloated at Concubine Hui and Eldest Elder Brother. The Eldest Elder Brother was punished, and the Emperor's impression of him would definitely not be good. What future is there for this?

Ma Guan didn't pay attention to so much, and held a banquet before the end of the year.In addition to the concubines in the harem, the participants also had some orders... That's right, she just wanted to see her mother-in-law.

Taking advantage of this banquet, the mother and daughter reunited again. Mayan asked about Mayanzhu's marriage and learned that there were still more than six months left.Then she thought, she must go to congratulate herself when the time comes.

Perhaps something happened to Wang Changzai, and after that, the harem was surprisingly peaceful.

After the new year, the Yonghe Palace ushered in a new term of school time. This time, the seventh elder brother was missing, but the ninth and tenth elder brothers were welcomed again.

Elder Brother Shi is only about one year old, and he is very happy to see so many older brothers and sisters at once.Concubine Niu was very tight with his baby, for fear that he would knock and fall, and she was a little overprotective.

I don't know if it's because of this reason, but Elder Brother Ten always looks clumsy and takes a long time to do everything.

But Niu Niu didn't think so, she thought it was because Elder Brother Shi was still young, it was normal for him to be slower than others.

Compared with the tenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother who is a few months older is much more lively and clever. Yi Fei loves the ninth elder brother very much, which is far from being comparable to the fifth elder brother.

This is not surprising, after all, the fifth elder brother was raised by the empress dowager since he was a child, and the mother and child had too little contact time.

And there is one more princess among the princesses, which is Ma Guan's youngest daughter, Jiafu.Jia Fu is a month younger than Brother Jiu, but his temperament is similar to that of Brother Jiu, and he is more courageous than Jing Fu.

As a result, the Yonghe Palace was full of laughter and laughter every day, and it was very lively.

At the same time, Concubine Rong and the third elder brother were finally released. The mother and son were punished and grounded for a whole year, and their mood was extremely gloomy. The third elder brother's ambitions were also restrained a lot, or buried deeper.

In short, he passed the emperor's test and was able to go back to school.

In a flash of time, it entered March, and the emperor had another baby, and promised Nala gave birth to a princess.Nala was originally the maid who served Concubine Hui in Yanxi Palace, and she was lucky. When the imperial concubine was still alive, she selected a maid from each of the concubines who were concubines and above to enrich the harem. This Nala was selected. up.

It's just that she hasn't been favored for so many years. After all, she has no identity background and her appearance is not particularly outstanding.I was favored several times last year, and I was actually pregnant.

After giving birth to a princess this time, she was granted the title of permanent residence by the emperor.

Compared with her, Wanliu Hashi, who was selected from Yifei's side, seems to be less lucky, because his temperament is too quiet, he always has no sense of presence, and the number of times he has been favored can be counted on one hand.

However, what people didn't expect was that within a few days, Wanliu Hashi was diagnosed as pregnant. This time, she kept a low profile.

An unfavored concubine promised to become pregnant, but it did not cause much disturbance in the palace. People paid more attention to the Empress Degui, because the emperor specially ordered that the birthday of Concubine Degui be celebrated this year.

This incident not only surprised the concubines in the harem, but Ma Guan himself was also very surprised. She is about the same age, and it's not every tenth day. Why did the emperor think of congratulating her on her birthday?

However, the emperor is willing to celebrate her birthday, no matter what, it is something to be happy about. Of course, she will not be stupid enough to stop it.

It's just that this time she didn't let her do it herself, the emperor specially ordered Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi to host the birthday banquet.

The specification of this birthday banquet is naturally not as high as the birthday celebration of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but it is also a little lower than that of the Empress.

Everyone is envious, but they still have to think about what gift to give, even Wang Changzai has carefully prepared it.

There is still more than a month before the birthday banquet, and by then she will be able to participate as the grounding is over.

Yinzhen and Yinzuo racked their brains even more, as the sons of Er Niang, they can't be left behind.So Ma Guan often saw the two brothers secretly discussing and frowning.

"The fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother must be discussing gifts for the mother's birthday again." Once, Yuan He saw the two brothers hiding in the room, muttering, and laughed.

"I'm really afraid that if they continue like this, they will grow old before they get old." Ma Yuan shook her head amusedly, but her heart felt warm.

Her children know how to be filial to her.

"The fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother are filial, the empress is so happy." Yuan He held his chin and said happily.

"Are you envious? I know you are envious. You are also 22 this year. According to me, you can go out of the palace to find a good family." Ma Quan poked her forehead, joking with a smile.

"Your Majesty, is this trying to drive the slaves away? Could it be that the slaves did something wrong?" Yuan He burst into tears, and his face collapsed.

"Okay, don't pretend to be with me. I will keep you for a year or two at most. Then I will choose a good husband for you." Ma Yu smiled gently. Yuan He has been serving her by her side for a long time. , actually longer than Qiao Yun and Sister Shuang before.

Although Yuan He is not as clever as Qiao Yun, Zhu Yun and others, but he has no second thoughts. Ma Guan likes such people very much.

"Your Majesty, stop talking." Yuan He's cheeks flushed, but she didn't reject it that much, she knew that her empress would not treat her badly.

In late April, Ma Guan's 26th birthday finally came. In the blink of an eye, she has been in this world for more than ten years.

This is the first time in more than ten years that a birthday is celebrated in such a grand manner.

On her birthday, she wore the imperial concubine's court attire, and all the concubines in the harem who were not grounded all went to the Yonghe Palace to pay respects, and the infant and child classes were temporarily suspended for a day.

Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Ping took the lead to salute and greet each other, and the three also presented gifts to each other.Although the Ma Guan didn't open it on the spot, he also knew that it must be a rare and good thing.

After the third concubine is the fifth concubine, and then it is the turn of the nobleman, Changzai and promise.

The space in the main hall is limited, so the low-ranking concubines retreated automatically after saluting and greeting, and only played in the yard.

After the concubines saluted, Yinzhen and Yinzuo came up together. The two brothers were dressed very festively today. In order to celebrate Ma Guan's birthday, they took a day off and did not go to school.

"I respectfully wish my mother's blessings are as long as the east sea, and her life is not as old as that of Nanshan." The two men knelt in front of Ma Guan and congratulated in unison.

"Get up. I heard that you have also prepared gifts for Er Niang, what have you prepared?" Ma Guan looked at the two little guys and couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Yinzhen said excitedly: "Er Chen and Sixth Brother have prepared a gift for Er Niang. This is a hairpin that Er Chen personally carved for Er Niang. Let's see if Er Niang likes it?"

He took out a beautiful golden hairpin from his sleeve, which was actually carved from huanghuali.

Ma Guan took a look, and was surprised for a while, the pattern on the hairpin is very fine, I don't know how much time Yinzhen spent.

"Er Niang likes it so much, I didn't expect Yinzhen to have such a handicraft, come here and help Er Niang put on the hairpin."

"Yeah!" Yinzhen looked joyful, and inserted the hairpin into Ma Guan's bun. The hairpin was not conspicuous, and it was not as expensive as other hair accessories, but it was Ma Guan's favorite.

"Does it look good?" Ma Guan stretched out his hand to touch it, and asked with a smile.

Yinzhen said: "It's very pretty, Eniang looks good in anything she wears."

Concubine Yi also smiled and said: "This hairpin is very unique, and it matches the empress very well. Brother Si is really ingenious and filial. I don't know if my Yinzhen will give me these when he grows up."

"Yinzhen is smart, he is a good boy, and he will be filial to you." Ma Yu heard her praise Yinzhen, so she also praised Yinzhen.

"I really envy my sister, my stomach is still flat." Concubine Ping touched her belly, feeling a little frustrated, which made everyone laugh.

Ma Ju looked at Yinzhen again, and suddenly thought of something: "Come here, Yinzhen, let Emiang see your hands."

But Yinzhen withdrew his hand, changed the subject and said: "My son's hand is very good, Er Niang, the sixth younger brother also prepared a gift for you."

"Yes, Er Niang, let's see if you like Erchen's gift first?" Yinzuo couldn't wait, holding a box in both hands, and didn't know what was inside.

"Then let's take a look at Yinzuo's gift first." Ma Guan gave Yinzhen a distressed look. The child must have suffered a lot in order to carve this hairpin, otherwise why didn't he show her his hand?

Xu Zhen was relieved to pass the test in a foolish way. In fact, his hands are almost healed. When he carved the hairpin before, he did make several cuts.

"Emiang, this is the picture of Magu's birthday tribute drawn by Erchen for you." Yinzuo opened the box, and gently retreated the scroll with Yinzhen.

Immediately, a picture of a fairy with a fairy air came into Ma Guan's eyes.

The fairy climbs the clouds and steps on the fog, holding flat peaches in her hands, beautiful and unique, which is the picture of Magu's birthday present.

It is rumored that Magu is a well-known female fairy in the folk, and every March [-]rd, she celebrates the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, which is also widely circulated.

Unexpectedly, Yin Zuo would draw such a picture and give it to her.

Although the handwriting is immature and the characters are even out of shape, Ma Guan is very moved by this kindness.

"Yin Zuo's painting is really good, Er Niang likes your gift very much, you and Yin Zhen are both Er Niang's pride." Ma Yu happily took the two hands and hugged them in her arms.

"It's as long as Er Niang likes it. When Er Niang's birthday is next year, the ministers will prepare gifts for Er Niang." Yinzhen laughed reservedly.

"Emiang, Jiafu and I didn't prepare a gift, will Emiang dislike us?" Jingfu pulled her sister to the side, pouted her mouth, her eyes were full of worry.

"You are the best gift from heaven to Er Niang." Ma Guan laughed, and the two little girls have learned to be jealous.

She quickly pulled the two of them over and touched their heads to comfort them.

"Your Majesty is so envious that everyone's eyes turn red." Concubine Yi said with gusto.

This noble concubine is too happy, right?Each of the four children is better than the other, smart and lively, it's a pity that there is only Yinzhen beside her.

"What makes people jealous?" At this moment, Kangxi's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, with a smile on his face.

"I have seen the emperor." Everyone stood up and saluted, and saw a bright yellow figure striding forward with a smile on his face.

"Pingshen. I heard your voices outside. Today is the time to celebrate." Kangxi smiled and helped Ma Yuan up, and the two took their seats in the main seat.

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Just now the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother both gave gifts to Concubine Degui, and the concubine said that she was red-eyed with envy."

"Oh? What gift did they give you?" Kangxi looked at Ma Guan curiously.

Ma Ju touched the hairpin on the topknot: "Is this hairpin beautiful, Your Majesty? It was carved by Yinzhen himself."

Kangxi was slightly surprised: "The carving of this hairpin is really good, I didn't expect Yinzhen to have such a skill."

He gave Yinzhen an appreciative smile, this kid knew he was filial to his mother.

"Yes, my concubine also thinks this hairpin is very beautiful. The emperor will come to see the painting painted by Yin Zuo again, isn't it also very good?" picture.

"Magu offering her birthday has a good meaning, but this painter is really not very good, and Yinzuo has to work hard to learn painting." Kangxi said so, but the smile on his face couldn't be concealed.

After all, Yin Zuo is only six years old, so it is already very good to be able to draw such a picture.

Yinzuo pouted dissatisfied: "Ama Khan, my ministers and all the empresses have given gifts to Empress E, so what did Ama Khan give?"

"The gift from Khan Ama will still be lost to you?" Kangxi felt that he was underestimated, knocked Yinzuo on the head, and winked at Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong smiled, and immediately stepped forward and said: "The emperor bestowed five hundred li on the noble concubine, a pair of South Sea pearls, and a pair of red coral bracelets..."

Every time he said something, a little eunuch came up with a tray. In the end, there was no room for him to stand in the room, and there were more than ten kinds.

Everyone was stunned. This reward is not as good as the empress's birthday celebration, right?The emperor really dotes on Concubine Degui.

Ma Guan was also a little surprised, this reward was really generous, after all it was not a tenth birthday.

"My concubine thanks the emperor for his grace." She got up and saluted to thank her.

Liang Jiugong waved his hand, and the eunuchs followed Yuan He and left, sending all the rewards to the treasury.

The emperor also looked at Yinzuo provocatively, Yinzuo raised his chin, and muttered: "Although the gift from Ama Khan is expensive, but it is not thoughtful, this painting is drawn by my own hands, and the fourth brother's hairpin is also handmade Carved."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was a little stiff, so Yinzuo dared to say this, if it were another elder brother, the emperor was afraid that he would be angry on the spot.

"Hehe... I knew what you were going to say. Take a look at what this is?" The emperor suddenly took out a small object, and everyone discovered that it was a shiny green seal.

"A seal, carved by Khan Ama himself?" Yinzuo looked at it curiously, wondering what kind of seal it was.

The emperor smiled slightly and said: "You are right, this is a seal carved by myself, is it worse than your messy picture of Magu's birthday?"

Yin Zuo was speechless, this one can't be compared, but he is just a child, why should he compare with Khan Ama?

Only then did the emperor give the seal to Ma Guan: "I saw that you don't have a seal for your daily paintings, so I specially carved one for you. Let's see if you like it?"

Ma Guan took the seal and saw her name engraved on it, every stroke was perfect, it must have cost the emperor a lot of effort.

"The concubine likes it very much, thank the emperor for the reward. However, I am afraid that the emperor spent a lot of time carving this seal? It is too expensive."

"It's fine if you like it. I also prepared a gift for you, and you'll know after the dinner." Kangxi smiled dotingly. In the past, it was Maru who brought him surprises, and today it's his turn to create surprises for her.

Before the dinner, Ma Guan personally invited the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and they each gave her a gift, and then went to Yonghe Palace for dinner together.

The banquet lasted until Xushi, and it can be said that the guests had a good time and had a good time.

After the banquet, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager left first, while the concubine, elder brother and princesses were not in a hurry to leave, they were all waiting for the emperor's next surprise.

Ma Guan guessed it a little bit, usually at this time, it is time to set off fireworks.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the gift." Kangxi took her hand and walked out of Yonghe Palace with a smile.

It wasn't until they climbed the tall building that everyone came to their senses. Did the emperor want to show them the fireworks?

At this moment, a firework suddenly soared into the sky, bursting into a smiling face, and everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise.

Then came the second, third...

Seeing the bright smiling faces blooming in the night sky, Ma Guan couldn't help laughing. She likes this gift.

"On New Year's Eve, you said you liked watching fireworks, so I asked them to make a few more. Among these, only this smiling face satisfied me, and I guessed that you would like it." Kangxi saw her smile, Also laughed.

"The emperor has a heart, I like this gift very much." Ma Guan looked away, unexpectedly the emperor still remembered what she said on New Year's Eve.

The emperor celebrated her birthday because of this, right?

"For so long, you have brought me laughter and surprises, raised children for me, and taken care of the harem for me. I really owe you a lot. This fireworks is my heart, and it is also my heart. A lot of affection."

Kangxi's voice was deep and low, only Ma Guan could hear her, suddenly Ma Quan's cheeks turned red and she raised her eyes.

The eyes of the two met, Kangxi smiled, leaned over and kissed lightly.Immediately, Ma Guan was shy for a while, how could the emperor do such a thing in front of everyone?

Sure enough, I noticed all kinds of meaningful eyes around me, either envious, jealous, or loathing.

"Your Majesty, you are really..." Ma Guan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a shrill scream from downstairs, and everyone was startled.

"Khan Ama, Erniang, help me..."

"It's Yinzhen!" Ma Jue's face changed, and he looked downstairs immediately, and saw Yinzhen being held hostage by an eunuch, with a gleaming dagger hanging across his neck!

At that moment, Ma Juan only felt a loud bang in his head, and his body went limp. Yinzhen was hijacked by an assassin!

"There are assassins! Escorts!" Liang Jiugong screamed, his soul flying out of fear.

How is this going?How could the assassins be mixed into the palace?He also hijacked the fourth elder brother!This is killing people!

In an instant, countless guards surrounded him from all directions, and Kangxi led Ma Guan down the stairs step by step, but was guarded by the guards behind him.

"Er Niang..." Yinzhen's face was pale, and he yelled in horror, tears falling down his face.

"Don't be afraid, Yinzhen, Erniang is here." Ma Juan took a shallow breath, her strength seemed to have returned a little, but her heart was still flustered.

She stared closely at the assassin who was holding Yinzhen hostage, he was a very unfamiliar little eunuch, and she didn't know if it was a real eunuch or just sneaked into the palace for the assassination.

Before, they were watching the fireworks upstairs, but the elder brothers were playing downstairs. This also caused Yin Zhen to be kidnapped without even an adult around him.

"Brave assassin, don't let the fourth elder brother go!" Kangxi was furious. This assassin is so bold that he even dared to kidnap his son. What exactly is he trying to do?

"Hmph, you dog emperor don't give orders to me. If I dare to kidnap your son, I never thought of getting out alive!" The eunuch was not afraid at all, and even taunted him.

Kangxi frowned, and angrily said: "Who sent you here? What exactly do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? Just kill someone!" The eunuch sneered, staring at Ma Yuan with burning eyes: "You are Concubine De Gui? If you want to save your son, come here yourself, and replace him with you!"

Everyone was shocked, this assassin came after the noble concubine?What enmity does he have with Concubine Degui?

Ma Guan also had a shocked expression on her face. She didn't think she had a life-and-death feud with anyone, and she had never seen this assassin before. Why did the other party want to kill her?

"Who are you avenging for?" At this moment, she calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

"You bitch still have the nerve to ask? It seems that you have harmed too many people, and you have forgotten how many enemies you have. Anyway, I will tell you today that I avenged Buerzhu. Buerzhu is my childhood sweetheart, and I sneaked in The imperial palace also came for her, but before you could contact her, she died at your hands."

"Bitch, I have waited too long for today, if I don't kill you today, I will kill your son!"

The eunuch was extremely arrogant and extremely angry.

In order to find a chance of revenge, he became a eunuch, and was abused and tortured wantonly in the palace.Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, and finally let him wait for this opportunity.

"Presumptuous! Boerzhu has harmed too many people, and she deserves it!" Kangxi yelled angrily, "It turns out that you are also a traitor of Junggar..."

"Ah..." Yinzhen screamed suddenly, and saw that dagger cut his throat suddenly, and blood gushed out.

"Stop!" Ma Guan was heartbroken, and shouted: "You let him go, I'll change him! You are not allowed to hurt him again!"

Kangxi also changed his face, this assassin really wanted to kill Yinzhen.

"Hmph, swear again, if you have the guts to swear again, I'll let his blood splatter five steps!" The eunuch smiled sinisterly, and seeing the two of them throwing a mouse, he became more and more wanton.

Ma Ju sobbed, "Don't hurt Yinzhen, I'll change it with him!"

The eunuch took a deep look at her and ordered: "Raise your hands high and walk over slowly."

"Impossible." Kangxi panicked and immediately grabbed Ma Quan's arm. How could he watch Ma Quan go to die?

Ma Quan struggled to free his hand, smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, that's my son, you want me to watch him die?"

No, how could Yinzhen die?He is only seven years old, his life has not officially started, how can he die?

"I'll figure out a way..."

"What else can I do?" Ma Guan smiled wryly and shook her head.

The assassin was very clever. In order to avoid being attacked from the back, his back was tightly pressed against the wall.And once someone attacked in front, Yinzhen would definitely die.

"What are you talking about? If you don't come again, just wait for your son's body to be collected!" The eunuch seemed impatient, and his temper became more and more irritable.

Seeing that Yinzhen was bleeding more and more, which stained a large area of ​​his clothes red, Ma Yuan couldn't wait any longer.

She glanced at Kangxi decisively, her face turned serious, and she walked towards the assassin.

"Ma Guan!" Kangxi stretched out his hand to grab again, but it was in vain. At that moment, it seemed that something had slipped away.

"My lady..."

Everyone was crying, why did such a thing happen?Today is the empress's birthday, do you really want to see the empress die here?

Just when Ma Guan took a step in front of the assassin, the assassin suddenly grabbed her by the arm and held her in front of him, while Yinzhen was kicked away.
