Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

The key point is that Niu Hulu Zhaolan is the type of girl next door, and she is very young. Wearing this bright pink Manchu dress makes her look like a child who has stolen adult clothes.

"Go back! Change your clothes! Do you still know any sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame?" Ma Jia ordered Niu Hulu Zhaolan to go back and change his clothes.

Niu Hulu Zhaolan stood there without moving, her face full of stubbornness. She didn't understand why Ma Jia's reaction was so intense.

Ma Jia did not explain, but firmly asked Niu Hulu Zhaolan to stay in the room honestly.

Niu Hulu Zhaolan did not dare to disobey Ma Jia. In her opinion, Ma Jia was much more terrifying than Niu Hulu Qijia. Even if she was not convinced, she had to go back angrily.

Ma Jia looked at Niu Hulu Zhaolan's unhappy back with a far-reaching gaze.

The royal family is not an easy place to stay. It is the place where countless beauties are buried.

As a mother, she only hoped that her children would have a smooth life, and she didn't even expect them to become concubines or even queens.

But Niu Hulu Zhaolan’s ideas are completely different from hers, and he even seems to have entered a rebellious period, but she can still suppress it for now.

She doesn't even think about how old she is and how she's thinking about getting married before she even reaches marriage age. She also doesn't feel ashamed of wanting to steal her sister's business.

Ma Jia was traditional and conservative in her thinking. She would never allow her sisters to compete for one man, and her daughter was the latecomer.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the proud Ma Jia, so when Ma Jia discovered that something was wrong with Niu Hulu Zhaolan, she immediately stepped forward to stop it.

"Alas..." Ma Jia sighed rarely.

The nanny next to her was her wet nurse. Seeing how distressed Ma Jia was, she quickly comforted her, "Madam, there's no need to worry. The Second Miss always listens to you."

"I'm afraid he says it but doesn't mean it in his heart." Ma Jia knew Niu Hulu Zhaolan quite well.

Although she looks weak, she is actually very stubborn.

You can obviously be the legal wife, so why do you have to compete for favor with so many people?

But Niu Hulu Zhaolan could not understand Ma Jia's good intentions at all.

In her opinion, her own mother did not help her, but instead stood on the side of Niu Hulu Yunshu, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

What she didn't know was that besides being afraid of being embarrassed, there was another very important reason.

Emperor Kangxi's concubine Rong Fei, who was a member of the Ma family, was a member of the same clan as Ma Jia.

To be precise, she was Ma Jia's great-aunt. When she was a child, Ma Jia went to visit Prince Cheng's mansion. At that time, Concubine Rong was already living in the mansion.

It was a pretty good ending, but what Ma Jia saw was sadness and pain.

It was a great shock to the little girl at that time. The palace was magnificent, but it seemed not so beautiful for the concubines.

Her life was ruined in the deep palace because of her family. If she was lucky, she would become the empress dowager. If she was even luckier, she would give birth to a prince and take him away to be raised in honor.

These are only a few lucky ones. Many more died silently in the harem and no one cared about them.

Then, batch after batch of young women came forward to try their luck for a glimmer of hope.

She remembered that her aunt's body had already deteriorated by then, and her wrinkled face still showed some of her former beauty, but her eyes had long since become worn out.

At that time, Ma Jia was still a young girl. She looked very similar to Concubine Rong when she was young, so she was taken to Prince Cheng's mansion.

Concubine Rong stroked Ma Jia's cheek. Her trembling hands and nostalgic eyes made Ma Jia never forget them for the rest of her life.

I can't forget what Concubine Rong said: "If possible, don't marry into the emperor's family."

Concubine Rong whispered this in Ma Jia's ear, which frightened her so much that she got goose bumps.

That was the first and also the last time she met the most prestigious aunt in the clan.

Not long after that day, her great aunt, who had a turbulent life, passed away.

But those words will remain in Ma Jia's heart forever.

She believes this is the greatest advice an old person can give to his grandchildren: you may not be able to help yourself, but if you can, please try.

In fact, Ma Jia almost entered Emperor Qianlong's harem, but she managed to escape by using a little trick.

Later, she met the widower Niu Hulu Qijia, and without much hesitation, she followed the arrangements and married him.

She had no expectations, nor any extravagant hopes. If it wasn't Niu Hulu Qijia, it would be someone else.

Because her little trick was discovered by her father, she almost lost half her life, so she just gave up.

Fortunately, although there was no love between her and Niu Hulu Qijia, the people in Niu Hulu Qijia's mansion were relatively simple and there were not so many twists and turns. It would be nice for them to live in peace for the rest of their lives.

Because of this, when Ma Jia found out that the child she had worked so hard to give birth to had actually fallen into the trap, she was both angry and anxious.

But it was not easy to tell these to Niu Hulu and Zhaolan.

She just hoped that Niu Hulu Zhaolan would be more obedient. She thought that when she grew up, those fantasies would stop.

At that time, she will choose a good husband for Niu Hulu Zhaolan. He doesn't need to be rich or powerful, but only needs to love and protect her sincerely.

These were all what Ma Jia was thinking about. Although Ma Jia was not good at speaking and could not say nice things, she was really considering Niu Hulu Zhaolan.

"Madam, don't worry too much. The second lady is still young." The nanny also knew Ma Jia's worries and comforted her.

"Alas, you don't have to comfort me. Zhaolan is a child with high ambitions. He won't turn back until he hits the wall."

With her in charge, nothing should go wrong. Even if Niu Hulu and Zhaolan hated her, she would accept it.

Why did Niu Hulu Zhaolan do this? With Niu Hulu's big family name and Niu Hulu Qijia as her support, she had every right to be the legal wife, but she had to go against the royal family.

If this gets out, will her reputation be ruined?

Niu Hulu and Zhao Lan knew nothing about Ma Jia's worries and plans.

She only knew that she was very sad. Her mother didn't support her, and no one supported her. She was like a headless fly fighting alone.

Niu Hulu Zhaolan pounded the bed angrily, and her delicate hands immediately turned red.

Niu Hulu Zhaolan was in so much pain that he almost cried.

She didn't understand why Ma Jia was so adamantly opposed. She had expected Ma Jia to oppose her, but she didn't expect Ma Ji to stop her almost in a threatening way.

This made Niu Hulu Zhaolan feel abandoned. Compared with the pain of no longer having the possibility of being with his beloved, Ma Jia's decisiveness was what Niu Hulu Zhaolan found most difficult to accept.

"Wow..." Niu Hulu Zhaolan couldn't hold it in any longer and lay on the bed sobbing.

Ma Jia, who was outside the door, heard this and felt very distressed. Niu Hulu and Zhaolan had been brought up in pampering.

Maybe her tone was too harsh.

Ma Jiashi rarely reflected on herself. Listening to the suppressed crying in the room, Ma Jiashi finally...
