The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

The emperor helped her up and did not hold the slaves accountable for their fault. It was rare for him to be happy, and Kangxi would not insist on throwing cold water on her.

He glanced down at Qinrou's wine glass and told Li Dequan, "Li Dequan, go get some wine."

The emperor also liked wine, and Kangxi preferred the Manchu diet, which was fine on weekdays. Now, looking at the mare's milk wine also aroused the emperor's greed, and he just had a few drinks.

"Hey!" Li Dequan responded quickly. As long as the emperor wants it, there will be no shortage. Kangxi sat down on the imperial concubine's couch with Qinrou around him. He glanced sadly at the wine in the glass with the most natural look on his face, "Mare's kumiss, why did you think of drinking this today?"

Can the emperor still know about her? Except for banquets, I don't drink alcohol on weekdays. Occasionally I don’t drink too much, which shows that I don’t like it.

"The wine and vinegar room has brewed a new batch of new products. Xiaoman picked up a pot at random and naturally wanted to try the new products." This batch of wine came at the right time. Concubine Bila was pregnant in the front, but after only half a day, the back of her legs became pregnant. The batch of wine was released. Even if you don't want to make the palace lively, it won't work.

It just so happened that the concubines were all upset, so they drank a little wine to relieve their troubles and make the most of the occasion.

Qinrou didn't hide it, she was just curious. Curiosity is heavy, but not heavy either. But it can still be done to satisfy a little curiosity.

In this case, there is no need to suppress your true nature. It's difficult to suppress it; it's easy to express it.

The emperor was also a connoisseur of wine tasting. He could taste everything without having to drink it. He took one look and smelled it again. "This wine is not strong in nature, with more milk and less wine. If you like it, I will give you all the ones in my warehouse." Move here."

The emperor liked to drink strong wine, but Kangxi didn't like it at first sight. However, he is an emperor, raised by the world, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs specifically serves the emperor. Any wine he brews, whether it tastes novel or is of excellent quality, will be dedicated to the emperor's private treasury.

Even if the emperor doesn't drink it himself, he can still reward others!

"The emperor has tasted it." Qinrou's eyes fell on the emperor curiously. Wasn't it said that it was a new product? Could it be that before the wine and vinegar room was released, it had already been enshrined in front of the emperor? Hmm! It's not impossible.

"It's the same thing as fruit juice, but it doesn't taste like alcohol." The emperor was not interested in it. He hugged Qinrou and changed his position, "It's suitable for people like you who don't like to drink."

One good thing about Kangxi is that he never forces himself. He doesn't force you to drink or not. Although Kangxi might have some appreciation for a good drinker, the emperor would never say a word about what he liked if he didn't drink.

Generally speaking, if you don't lose your temper, you will definitely be easier to serve than most people.

The emperor disliked the taste of wine and didn't even bother to try it. How could he have drank it?
Qinrou respects everyone's living habits, especially the emperor.

"This slave is drinking. The wine the Emperor drinks on weekdays is too strong and chokes people." Qinrou admitted without hesitation. She was not used to forcing herself, especially when she was favored. Unless it involves life and death.

Li Dequan moved very quickly and brought out about two jugs of wine alone. Serve the emperor diligently! Glancing at Qinrou, Kangxi ordered: "She doesn't like to drink this."

No need.

There are quite a few concubines in this palace who are good drinkers. Not to mention Concubine Niu Hulu.

It is really the Niu Hulu clan who put a lot of effort into cultivating it.

Concubine Li doesn’t show off, but she actually has a good drinking capacity! On weekdays, when the emperor is interested, he can also have a few drinks with him. Drink to your heart's content, be in the company of beautiful women, and enjoy a night of royal kindness.

The emperor came to concubine Nala to drink wine. Li Dequan didn't think about it, he just followed the emperor's thoughts.

Qinrou just poured the wine silently, and she didn't ask or say anything. If her news had not been delayed, the emperor would not have gone to Xianfu Palace to see Concubine Bila by now. "Pour this." Kangxi slipped another pot of wine to Qinrou and said to her.

Two bottles of wine, aren't they the same? What difference does it make which pot you pour? Qinrou was a little confused.

However, she still obediently changed to the pot designated by Kangxi, and the emperor just looked at her. It wasn't until the wine reached the glass that Qinrou realized that it was, "deer blood wine."

There were two pots of wine, one was kumiss, which was the strongest and strongest kind; and the other was actually deer blood wine.

Although Qinrou doesn't drink often, she can still tell the difference. This is also part of the training for concubines. Even when fighting with each other, how to pour wine is taught by the educated nuns.

Identification is easy. In particular, Aunt Chen and others were there to help.

The color is bright red because it is brewed with deer blood as the main ingredient. Fresh deer blood is especially good when brewed. It is a daily drink that is very popular among emperors and nobles.

It is especially indispensable at the feast of harvest when you are riding a horse to hunt and gain something! It is more of a protagonist.

Kangxi affirmed and talked about the origin of the deer, "The servants below have recently presented a wild sika deer. The main ingredients are available, so I just ordered the wine and vinegar room to use it to make wine."

Deer blood is a great tonic and is used to make wine. Wine is also an excellent medicinal diet, both a wine drink and a medicinal drink.

"Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health." Qinrou mentioned this. This was common sense. She poured the glass of wine in her hand, but she did not forget to give her some advice.

Whether the emperor listens or not is the emperor's business; but whether he wants to remind him or not is Qinrou's responsibility. Moreover, if we really want to tell the truth, the emperor treated her well. He can be a heartless person, but he cannot be disgusting.

She also hopes that the emperor will be well, what should I say? Have a good time together! Although they can't separate now, they can't really be reunited. But it all means the same thing.

Emperor Kangxi played with the wine glass in his hand. The emperor really listened to the advice and said as he was told, "It is not good to drink on an empty stomach. Then drink after finishing the supper."

Qinrou blinked her eyes, is she so easy to talk to? She put down the wine bottle in her hand. Since Kangxi agreed, she stopped pouring the wine.

He pushed the wine bottle further away. Qin Rou asked softly:

"I heard that in previous years, the emperor would lead his ministers to the royal hunting grounds to ride horses and hunt, and they would also use the hunted prey to make wine, which also contained wild deer blood." By then, the meat would be used to eat barbecue, and the deer blood would be used to make wine. The emperor would also Give rewards to close ministers to show your favor.

"I have been there several times since I came to the throne. There are not only deers, but also leopards, bears and tigers. They are all prey and ferocious beasts. It is not easy to be wild and untrained." Kangxi briefly told her.

Emperor Kangxi thought thoughtfully, "I told Rou'er before that I would teach you how to ride a horse and hunt. Now spring has begun and the weather is just right. It's time to take action."

Qinrou suddenly forgot what she wanted to say and immediately responded: "Okay!"

She also wants to try riding a horse and hunting! Learn a craft. This kind of skill cannot be taken away by others at any time or anywhere. She was also thinking of going out for a walk.
