The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 144 is power

"Of course I also like Gege," Kangxi was an emperor and a typical emperor. He also loved Gege. Otherwise, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Dong would not have been lenient just because they gave birth to the second princess.

In the palace, the servants below are all responsible for the dishes. If the superiors have good ideas, the subordinates must follow them.

If Kangxi did not love Gege, then Da Gege and Er Gege would not be able to protect their biological mothers.

It was precisely because of his love and affection that Concubine Zhang and Concubine Dong, the biological mothers who gave birth to Princess Gege, were able to gain a bit of face because of Da Gege and Er Gege.

But on the contrary, the emperor valued his elder brother more. Because the elder brother is used to inherit the family business, and Gege is almost sent out for marriage, and it is rare to see him again in the future.

Then, Kangxi must pay more attention to the elder brother who inherited the legacy.

Kangxi also confessed. He said to her straightforwardly: "Qinrou, my brother is different from Princess Gege. I can make great achievements and can always be by our side in the future. Princesses,..." The emperor paused and said, "Man Meng Marriage is a national policy, Geges, no matter how much I love them, they will still marry far away from Mongolia in the future, and they will not be able to live happily together, and will have to think about them all the time. "

"It doesn't matter that we have Gege, but Gege needs the support of her parents and brothers so that she can live well in her in-laws' family. The strength of the Qing Dynasty is the foundation for the Geges to live well in their in-laws' family. But on the other hand, Geges are pampered and raised. They also want to make their own contribution to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. They are supported by the world, so they should devote their lives to the world. "It's not that Kangxi didn't love his daughter, but the way he loved his daughter was to pamper and raise her well.

At the same time, the princesses must also prepare for marriage.

Kangxi rarely had the patience to teach her!

Qinrou has long understood this truth, but she still feels frightened!

A woman is like a bird. When she was a child, she was raised by her father. When she grows up and is of the right age, her father will choose a capable general for her who needs to be comforted by her father, and then carry her out in glory.

Lift her to a place where she can't see mountains, rivers, or acquaintances, and make her obedient and contribute to the royal family. Even if she is dead, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Maybe her father's family has not received the news, and she has already passed away.

When the father's family received the news, they had to weigh it in every possible way, and wasted their time before deciding whether to seek justice for her.

Life is never in your own hands. In the past, a thread held Princess Gege, and she was raised by her father's clan and the royal family; then this thread was handed over to her husband's clan, and became a hostage, a commodity, and a pet that could be given away.

But it's not one person, not herself.

Qinrou didn't refute him. She knew that the royal family's princesses all had the same ending. As long as the Qing Dynasty needed it, as long as the emperor made up his mind, he had to agree even if he didn't want to. It was the same for everyone.

Even if he begs now, if something happens in the future that requires the princess to surrender to show peace, the emperor can still go back on his word.

You are not joking, you can tell the truth. If he really gets up, he can destroy all nine of your clans just because of a single word, and he will never change his ways until death.

It can also be a lie that cannot be more false. He can go back on his word anytime, anywhere, but you can't hold him accountable.

Qinrou didn't know how much she had listened, but in fact she was too clear. Because she was clear, she had never made any plans for a rainy day or asked for an emperor's promise.

What can change the emperor's promise is never a word from a concubine, but power. Therefore, what people pursue throughout their lives is power.

"My slave understands." Qinrou smiled weakly, that's why she didn't want children. This is a world where men play with power. Brother comes, fighting for power, glory and wealth, three wives and four concubines, intrigues, all in this wonderful world. , there are countless treacherous clouds and waves waiting for them, they can decide life and death, the country, and be at ease.

Now that Princess is here, life and death can only be decided at will. There is no control over her at all.

"It's better, brother." There is such a wonderful world and you can live on your own. "Brother, you can earn a life and glory for your mother." The emperor told her, so the world preferred elder brother more, and the emperor was no exception.

The emperor's brothers will be his heirs to the throne, but the princesses are not. The emperor's brothers will be carefully taught by Taifu and great scholars to learn how to govern the country, the army, and the government.

Princesses will also be taught by their masters, but they will be taught royal manners, boudoir duties, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and family management.

They and my brother are in two completely different skies.

In the harem, in recent generations, the only person who can be relied upon by the concubines in a serious manner is the prince. There were many concubines who were promoted to high positions because of their sons' merits.

However, due to the princess's meritorious service, the mother-in-law was promoted to a high position, and there were only a few concubines, so if there were one or two occasionally, everyone would know about it.

It is said that princesses cannot perform meritorious deeds, but in the final analysis, whether it is history or the emperor, do they give princesses the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds? Do they recognize the princess's achievements?
All preferences are out of reach from the moment the gender is determined. Character, moral character, favor, many of them will be left far behind.

Many times, prejudices are deeply ingrained and cannot be changed.

Qinrou doesn't want to change others, she just wants to not be assimilated.

Otherwise, it would be horrible.

Qinrou murmured: "Even if he wants to earn glory, he earns it for himself."

She needs to raise children to earn her glory, and she is too lazy to bother.

Besides, once a person betrays such expectations and has impure motives, does she have the skills?

If she can live, she will die if she can't. She doesn't need her brother to earn her life and glory. A person lives with a life, a person dies with a body.

They are all going to die anyway, and it makes no difference whether they are buried as a concubine or as a concubine. They are all going to die the same way.

It doesn't matter if it breaks her into ashes, she doesn't care. Again, after I die, I won’t care about the flood.

As long as you die happily and don't suffer any punishment, that's fine.

Sometimes, death is a relief.

So let alone earning the glory of his life for his mother, he wanted to earn it for himself. After all, his future lies here.

"There has been no news from me. I am worried that the emperor will be disappointed." Qinrou knows how to coax people. She spoke softly and fearfully, but she always wanted to coax Kangxi. Kangxi doted on her. She lived a good life, and no one dared to talk to her on the bright side. If she makes this difficult, it will save her eighty percent of the trouble.

The remaining 20% ​​of the trouble is hidden in the dark and will generally not cause her more trouble. And if there is trouble in the dark, it won’t be a big trouble.

The main thing is that her daily routine should be regular. Every day, apart from going to Kunning Palace to pay respects to the Queen, and also going to Qianqing Palace to accompany her, she rarely goes anywhere else.

"It's not the fault of two people, how can one person bear all the blame? Really." Kangxi said.
