The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 169 The only one
Concubine Li was still ill and she didn't try to be brave, so she naturally stopped attending the subsequent banquets. The emperor is the emperor, even if the queen is ill, the emperor is still summoning his concubines to sleep with him.

What's more, Concubine Li is a little concubine. A few visits from the emperor and a few more rewards are already a profound favor. Not every harem woman who is sick can be favored by the emperor.

So say it! Don't think too highly of yourself. In fact, to others, it's all the same and unimportant.

Qin Rou had no intention of pitying Concubine Li, as she herself was not in the same status. If you don't live a good life yourself, how can you have the confidence to point fingers at others?

Qinrou is confident, and everyone in the world should learn from her attitude, otherwise they will not gossip about others without knowing themselves.

On the night when Concubine Li fell ill, the emperor summoned Qinrou to serve her. It must be said that the emperor liked calling her to serve him. Therefore, the frequency of her bedtime visits is indeed not low.

Not only the concubines in the harem were tired, but the emperor was also tired. Qinrou came to Qing Palace in a soft sedan chair. When she entered the door, she saw two beautiful little maids massaging the emperor to relax, while the emperor was resting his mind with his eyes closed.

Qinrou stepped forward and saluted. The emperor opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile. Qinrou stepped forward comfortably.

He said, "Your Majesty is also tired!" Speaking of which, he was much more tired than the concubines in the harem. The emperor was the protagonist, and he had to fight with his ministers. He could make twenty turns in one sentence, so it would be strange if he wasn't tired.

Low status also has the advantage of low status. When entertaining guests these days, they, the concubines, almost just sit there, behaved and elegant, and are just a foil.

The Fu Jin, Xi Fu Jin, and ladies who came to the palace were all from the first wife or the second wife, so how could they be outstanding? No matter how stupid he is, he will not go beyond the Queen and Concubine Niu Hulu to talk to the concubines.

Unless you really don't care about these or your husband's future. The Queen and Concubine Niu Hulu were both from wealthy families. The Hesheli family and the Niu Hulu family were both from wealthy families in the previous dynasty.

They can't afford to offend either.

As for the emperor, he stopped reading books today and stopped reviewing excerpts. He just closed his eyes and rested his mind. Qinrou noticed this tiny detail and was able to express something through this detail. This shows how powerful the emperor is. Tired.

The emperor, who had always praised the scrolls, also put down the scrolls and the folds.

The thoughts in Qinrou's mind lasted only a moment. Kangxi moved away from the position beside him and patted the position in front of him. The two servants who were serving him retreated in silence for a moment.

Qinrou received the emperor's meaning instantly. Mo Zi stepped forward and lay in the emperor's arms. The two servants who had just been serving him came forward to serve him again.

Li Dequan was waiting on the side. He waved and whispered a few words, and the little eunuch lowered his body and walked out of the door. After a while, two other little maids came to serve Qin Rou and massage her to relax.

The moment the two servants put their hands up, Qinrou opened her eyes slightly and glanced at the two servants serving her. They were both fair-faced servants with not very outstanding looks.

Then he took it back and continued to lie in Kangxi's arms, closing his eyes and resting.

Kangxi was tired, and she was tired too, and they didn't want to talk much. They just lay quietly like this, which was quite peaceful.

The servants of Qianqing Palace gave excellent massage techniques. Qinrou was taken care of by two palace maids, and she fell into a drowsy state. Originally, when the body was tired, it was especially easy for people to relieve themselves through sleep. Now that the body's fatigue has been relieved, Qinrou feels that it is more conducive to sleep.

When people are extremely tired, they want to take a long nap. There has always been a kind of torture that keeps prisoners awake. Whenever there is any sign of sleep, various tortures are added to make them wake up.

It goes round and round, and so on. Instead of torturing people to death, they can also drive them crazy.

Li Dequan was waiting on the side, unsure of his decision, and did not know whether the emperor and the concubine were awake or asleep. He didn't dare to mention others, but Concubine Nala was the most casual, especially when she was sleepy. Even in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor watched with his own eyes and slept peacefully. This courage is the only one I have.

That's right, this is a ruthless person who dares to go to Qixiang Palace and touch the body of the sinner Bai. Who would have thought she had such courage.

The emperor opened his eyes, his eyes full of stern expression, and he lowered his eyebrows for a moment, all of them restrained. Falling out is ruthless.

Li Dequan lowered his head. He was used to the emperor's changeable nature.

He is an emperor after all.

Which emperor is good-tempered. The emperor's good temper is not called good temper, it is called weakness. If the emperor was really like this, how could he seize the power from Obai, and how could he have the power he has today?

"Wash up!" the emperor ordered. After washing, you can rest.

The emperor had made up his mind, so there was no need for Li Dequan to be this evil person again.

It is true that he is the chief eunuch, but he must also act in accordance with the emperor's wishes. He is the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If he does not follow the emperor's wishes, you will see whether he can last long.

People! They all want to live.

In the first month of the year, when the weather is still cold, hot water is still used. The servants all retreated, and the servant who was waiting for washing came to fetch water. Qinrou was still lying on the couch, but they did not dare to make any move, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

In the palace, the most taboo thing is to make one's own decisions. Slaves with big ideas usually received the same fate: beaten to death, kicked out, or sent far away, out of sight of their masters, to do heavy work.

None of them wanted to end up like this.

It wasn't until the wet veil covered her face that Qinrou woke up and opened her eyes. How could she be so virtuous! He even asked the emperor to serve him personally.

The massage techniques of the two little palace maids were so good that their muscles were completely relaxed and sleepiness came over them, making them unable to resist. Seems to have fallen asleep.

Emperor Kangxi touched her head and said, "I'm too tired. It'll be fine after the fifteenth day." The banquet only lasted until the fifteenth day. After the fifteenth day, there was no need to entertain foreign wives in the harem, and the emperor naturally did not need to be older. If you have a banquet for all the ministers, there will be no need for a banquet.

Qinrou also understands that these are unavoidable.

"I really hope Shi Fifteen can go there quickly!" Qin Rou muttered, it was too tiring. They also worked blindly.

"I'm not happy to receive the gift." Kangxi asked jokingly. Since the Chinese New Year, the concubines in the harem will always receive some offerings from various families outside the palace.

It can be regarded as an additional investment. After all, every family and government can afford this. Just asking for a favor.

The queen's office and Concubine Niu Hulu's office are naturally the most important. The queen's office is the most important, followed by the Yongshou Palace. The favored concubines in the palace will also have one or two gifts. Just a little thinner.

"Don't worry, I'm tired!" Even with the little gift she received, she felt like she was at a loss. Making arrangements every day is so tiring. Qinrou would rather live in peace and quiet every day. For at least a month in the future, she would not want to hear the sound of singing and dancing again.

"It's almost here, it's only a few days away." The emperor told her. She turned around and was washed by the servants. Qinrou also got up and was washed by the servants. She couldn't wait to wash up and just wanted to have a good night's sleep.
