The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

The Empress Dowager was thinking to herself. Suddenly, a Manchu sentence came out of her mouth. Qinrou didn't hear it clearly. The Empress Dowager's subsequent voice was much louder, and Qinrou could hear it clearly. The Empress Dowager was old. The voice said: "How about Saiyin Chahun!"

'Saeyinchahun'; Manchu means 'a strong boy'. It can be said to be the simplest wish.

I only hope that my son will be foolish and carefree, and that he will be able to reach the throne without any trouble. The meaning is not different from this, but it is also similar.

The Empress Dowager has no other requirements for the fourth elder brother. She only requires him to be safe and healthy. This is her biggest wish.

Likewise, the Empress Dowager also hoped that this name would protect the fourth elder brother and bring him peace, health, and happiness throughout his life.

When Kangxi first heard it, he thought it was just a common word with a common meaning, Saiyinchahun, Saiyinchahun. The more he tasted it, the more he felt that this name was very good. I have to say that this name did play an important role in the emperor's influence. In my heart.

Although Saiyin Chahun looks like a Manchu name at first glance, which does not conform to Kangxi's usual naming style, it doesn't matter. They are Manchus far away. Now that the fourth elder brother is named after a Manchu, he may be able to borrow the blessings of his ancestors and protect his future. He is strong and peaceful.

"Saeyinchahun, Saiyinchahun." Kangxi repeated it twice, and happily said to the Empress Dowager, "My grandson thought this name was very good, so the fourth elder brother was named Saiyinchahun. He is a strong boy. Thanks Madam Huang gave me the name." The emperor said.

The emperor now doesn't ask for anything else from his elder brother. He just wants them to be healthy. That will be fine. Guo Zuo will have successors, and the country will be much more stable.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor, and the young Emperor looked at him with the same wet eyes. After he achieved results, he also looked forward to her approval, but the Emperor had grown up and had his own thoughts.

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes, she was getting old.

She really had good intentions in choosing this name. On the one hand, she also wanted to pray to the Immortal Heaven to protect the safety and stability of the emperor's heirs. On the other hand, it also expressed the meaning of Saiyin Chahun's brother. He is just an ordinary emperor's elder brother. In terms of dignity or anything else, he cannot surpass the second elder brother.

I also want to ask the queen to be more at ease and to rest assured.

"My concubine/slave congratulates the emperor. I am so happy that my fourth brother Saiyin Chahun, long live the emperor." The queen took the lead, and then a group of concubines followed to congratulate.

"The Ma Jia family's reward will be increased by three points. The old rule is that after the full moon, Saiyin Chahun will be moved to Qandong No. 5. Queen, please pay more attention and take care of it." Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and rushed to speak. , and also arranged all subsequent matters.

Hearing that the emperor's elder brother was still taken care of in the Qiandong Fifth Residence, the queen felt relieved. According to ancestral rules, the elder brothers born to the concubines were placed in the prince's residence and were taken care of by the nanny until they were old. When they are older, the nanny will be dispatched, and the nanny and mistress will take care of them.

If the emperor does not follow the ancestral rules, the queen will naturally feel at ease. In the care of the prince, naturally she, the queen, is still taking care of him. Instead of having the emperor's heir stay with his biological mother, and the biological mother and the emperor's heir are separated, the mutual dependence will be much looser.
For her as a queen, it is naturally much more convenient to manage the concubines in the harem.

There is no need to worry about the concubines, who will become arrogant after having an heir.

Not the climate! This means that her position as queen is still stable. At the same time, the second elder brother's position will be much more stable.

How could the queen feel uneasy?

The queen immediately responded gently: "In Qiandong Fifth House, I ordered the Internal Affairs Office to clean it up all the time. These days, I have also deliberately bought many things that are not harmful to the skin of infants and young children in the First and Second Houses. I am concubine." Go back and take a look. If there is something missing, add it. If the material is not suitable, I will replace it with the concubine, so that the fourth prince will not be uncomfortable when he comes back." The queen also expressed her attitude, like a true Mother, preparing her child's room.

"Thank you for your hard work, Queen." Kangxi said. Everything in the harem is arranged by the queen. If the queen is willing to take care of it, the emperor will naturally be happy.

"It's not hard, my concubine." The queen shook her head and said worriedly: "It's just the third and full moon. It's the twelfth lunar month of winter. The weather is so cold. Even if there is a stove, it can't stop the coolness. The third and full moon are not the same. The fourth elder brother has just been born, and I am worried that the fourth elder brother will not be able to bear it."

The first year after the birth of the emperor is the most important year. The third day of the baptism, the full moon, the 100th day, and the first birthday are all major events worthy of celebration. Ordinary people may make it simpler, but in a house of nobles and etiquette, these important events Days are all taken seriously.

Let alone the prince. You can basically tell by just looking at these days whether the child receives attention at home and whether he is pampered or not.

The emperor thought for a moment and then gave the order resolutely, "Then we won't do anything about Fourth Brother's washing. I'll look back at the full moon. If it can't be done..."

"If it can be done during the full moon, then it will naturally be grander; by then the fourth prince's body will be much stronger. If it is during the full moon, it will not be suitable." The queen took over the emperor's words and said: "Then he will be a hundred years old. When he is one year old, the ceremony should be more grand. It has been so long since the fourth elder brother was born, so it must be well organized. The emperor’s elder brother and the prince of the Qing Dynasty cannot be wronged. "

The emperor and the empress are like ordinary couples, or the husband and the mistress of the family. They have discussions and discussions. With a word from you or a word from me, the affairs of the family are decided.

"Let's arrange it this way!" Kangxi said. The weather is actually a bit colder this time, and the Queen's encouragement is reasonable. It doesn't matter if we don't hold three bathing banquets and a full moon banquet at the same time.

After all, the news of a new emperor's brother in the palace has been announced to the noble ministers.

"Yes." The queen also nodded. Although she can make her own decisions, the queen still has to worry about the emperor's thoughts. Of course, if the emperor wants to do something big, the queen will give him advice, but she will not stop him.

Just do it! It's not her son, so she doesn't feel bad! Naturally, it depends on the emperor’s wishes!
"Huang Ma Ma, Sai Yin Cha Hun washes her hands three times. My grandson thought that there is no need to do it. The queen is right to be concerned. The weather is really too cold." Kangxi turned around and said to the empress dowager.

Even adults with strong firepower may not be able to withstand it, let alone a newborn baby. Easy to catch cold!
Catching a cold may not be a serious illness for adults; but for infants and young children, it is definitely a serious obstacle.

The Empress Dowager listened to the whole process and did not answer. At this time, she said: "Let's do it like this over there! The emperor's elder brother is the most important thing in everything. The purpose of washing Sanyuan is to remove the misfortune of the child. There is no need to hold a special washing banquet. Bring in the cool air."

There are also advantages to not doing it. From this aspect, it cannot be said that the Queen is not thoughtful and careful.

The emperor decided, the empress dowager made the decision, and the empress had no objections. The matter was settled like that.

Irrefutable!
