The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 146 Everyone has their own agenda
The concubines came one after another, and almost all of them came.

"I'm afraid the queen will be late today," Concubine Dong and Concubine Wanyan spat. "Brother Saiyin Chahun has been born today. Although the Emperor and the Queen have decided not to hold three baptism banquets for Brother Saiyin Chahun, the birth of the emperor's heir is a major event for the country, and the blessings of the Fujins will always be Send it to the palace. Is the Queen busy? "

Especially for the clan of Fujin, the clan and the royal family are naturally close to each other. Now the queen is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and Saiyinchahun's elder brother is the only elder brother of the emperor. Even the elder brother who is a concubine is worthy of the clan's affection. Fujins treat it with caution.

The Queen is very busy.

"The Queen works hard and we are lazy, it's because the Queen loves us and takes care of everything for us," Concubine Wanyan also said.

"Those who are capable work hard. We are stupid and lazy, and we are born to enjoy happiness." Concubine Dong also said with a smile. She didn't even dare to think about Gong Quan.

She was just a concubine, she had already prepared to be a concubine for the rest of her life. It's just that I'm still a little unwilling in my heart, and I'm still hoping to go further.

Otherwise, why are the concubines in the palace looking forward to giving birth to my brother? My elder brother can bring glory to Enie. When Gege grows up, once she marries far away and has a marriage with Mongolia, she won't get any glory, but worry will add to her belly.

Why isn't it shocking?

However, Concubine Dong did not consider these long-term worries. She only considered short-term worries. Of the six daughters of the late emperor, she only raised one daughter.

The Emperor now has a total of four sons and two daughters, and has already lost two sons and one daughter. The probability of the Emperor's heirs dying in infancy is half and half.

...maybe not even half of it.

Concubine Dong is now concerned about Er Gege's future. Let's not mention the Manchu-Mongolian marriage, but Er Gege has lived and grown up peacefully and will bear the brunt of it.

Concubine Wanyan also laughed, "Gong Quan!" Who wouldn't want to get involved?
They also want to be as busy as queens! But who gives them a chance? So looking at the reality in front of you will shock people into doubting life.

That kind of distant, unrealistic fantasy, just think about it, even if such a thought passes through your mind, it is sad.

"But I have prepared the three baptismal rites for brother Saiyinchahun. Has sister prepared it?" Concubine Wanyan lowered her voice and inquired.

The emperor said he would not hold the third banquet, but did they dare to pretend that nothing happened? No matter what, you have to send some thoughts. That's the prince's brother, not a cat or a dog. You can let them ignore it as they please.

"Am I worried too?" Concubine Dong also asked. She is so sophisticated that she naturally understands the importance of preparing for the three rites of baptism. But Concubine Dong would not flaunt the gifts she had prepared in the palace.

She is not qualified to show off yet.

"Our daughter's family is mostly made up of female workers." Concubine Dong said sincerely: "There are so many concubines in the palace, and there are sisters with excellent craftsmanship. It's not insincere for us, female workers, to bump into each other. . If you copy Buddhist scriptures and enshrine them in front of the Buddha to seek peace for your little brother, many people in the palace will naturally think of this; things like longevity locks and gold bracelets have auspicious meanings. There is no shortage of it.”

"..." Concubine Dong also frowned, thinking about giving gifts, and said to Concubine Wanyan: "So, I am also worried now?"

"Sister Dong is right to be concerned," Concubine Wanyan also frowned and discussed this issue with Concubine Dong.

No matter which one it is, it's not outstanding. This is what Concubine Wanyan hates. Concubine Wanyan said sincerely: "To be honest with you sister, as early as half a month ago, I was thinking about what gift to give. But I haven't made up my mind yet."

Concubine Wanyan smiled bitterly. Half a month ago, it was just a time for her to talk casually, but she spent a lot of time worrying. "I wonder what Concubine Li and Concubine Nala will prepare?" Concubine Dong glanced at Concubine Wanyan. If they knew about it, they could also use it as a reference. There is no need to be so entangled here and you can make up your mind as soon as possible.

"I never heard Concubine Li and Concubine Nala mention it." Concubine Wanyan also sighed implicitly. Concubine Nala didn't need to be mentioned. She was the purest person in the palace, so pure that she didn't even bother to talk to others.

Concubine Li also has a somewhat arrogant temperament. She has no personal relationship with her, let alone discussing these topics with her.

Both of them were thoughtful, and neither of them said what baptismal rites they had prepared. They didn't dare to leak it. What if after it was leaked, someone directly sent the same one?
Although it is not incomprehensible that the concubines would give the same gifts, but in the end they were less thoughtful in their intentions.

This little flaw can be magnified into absolute failure.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and had their own worries. They can't be friends who talk to each other about everything, maybe not now, but maybe in the future, there will be some possibility!
The rest of the concubines are worried about this problem. They want to give gifts that are innovative and within their own capabilities.

It’s not like no one is favored because of their thoughtful gifts. The new batch of concubines in the palace gradually accepted the favor, and the old people in the palace were also worried.

In the main hall of Kunning Palace, the concubines all lowered their voices and spoke. They were also considering the issue of the three baptisms. Most of the concubines have already made their decisions, and they have no ability to change them.

If the conditions are not enough, they can only focus on their strengths, such as embroidery, or copying Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings.

"The arrival of Fourth Elder Brother is a great joy for the royal family. I always feel that no matter what is sent, it is a little tasteless." Concubine Wanyan glanced at Concubine Dong and smiled helplessly.

Either it is not careful enough, it is too vulgar, it is not sincere enough, or it lacks novelty.

However, over the past thousands of years, countless heirs to the emperor have been born, and so many children have been born on their third birthday, full moon, and one year old. The predecessors have long thought of the gifts they can have.

There is nothing waiting for them to do.

"Sister Wanyan's words make sense." Concubine Dong agreed.

Especially who doesn't know that the emperor has recently sealed the deal and no longer has to go to court. It means you have time to rest.

All the concubines in the harem knew that this was an opportunity, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to show off and compete for the emperor's favor.

Most of the concubines were still worried, and Concubine Niu Hulu arrived.

Soon after, the Queen also came out. At this time, all the concubines, who were originally worried about the baptism ceremony, suddenly became as quiet as the stillness of the night, and all had decent smiles on their faces.

The concubines all stood upright, trying to show the queen their best appearance. The emperor and the empress were always in harmony, so maybe the queen would try to persuade them?

The queen came in a hurry, and she told the concubines: "The new year is approaching, and the fourth elder brother is about to land again. I have been too busy recently to take care of you. You can take care of yourselves. What's the matter? If you have any needs, please come to Kunning Palace and let me know.”

The queen is really busy, the new year is coming, and brother Saiyinchahun has landed again. The queen doesn't care what the concubines think, so what if she waits, it is her duty to be calm in the morning and dusk.
