The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 183 Reluctant to Use
In the art of riding and shooting, Qin Rou was more talented than the riding skills, but in just one day, he had already achieved initial results. Although I am not very familiar with it yet, I can already mount a horse, run and walk.

And the way of riding and shooting. The point is not to ride, but to shoot. It lies in the combination of bow and horse. Just shooting an arrow is already extremely difficult, let alone setting up a bow and arrow in order to hit a moving object;
Not to mention picking up a bow and arrow on horseback, shooting at moving objects, and killing them with one hit. He is not yet very proficient in riding and archery skills, let alone trying to combine both sides. The difficulty will not only increase tenfold.

Even if Qinrou practices every day, it is difficult to see results. Not to mention that she had only practiced for a day or two, and she was still a complete novice.

With a sore waist and aching hands, Qinrou was inevitably tired and had to go to the Queen's Palace to sleep. Returning to the dormitory, Fushun stepped forward to ask Qinrou for instructions: "Concubine, do you still remember that on New Year's Eve, I felt someone was following me behind me?"

Qinrou forgot about it after it passed. The time had not passed very long, only more than twenty days, but it was still a long time. Qinrou had already forgotten it. Fushun suddenly mentioned it, and she paused for a moment, thinking about it for a while before remembering it.

She really didn't care that much about the affairs in the palace and her own safety.

Qinrou remembered it. She raised her head and glanced at Fushun, "That thing! I remembered it. What happened?" There could be a follow-up.

"Catching ghosts" on New Year's Eve always left a little impression on her. After all, on such a festive day, it happened once.

Qinrou's tone was normal and indifferent, as if she was just curious about why Fushun mentioned this matter.

Fushun said: "The servant was incompetent that day and failed to notice anything was wrong. The servant paid attention and checked afterwards. There was an old eunuch in the palace. He was already thirty-five years old. He was extremely lean and looked very thin. The most subtle thing is that he is a master who does not reveal his footsteps or traces. "

Losing for a while is not losing, but losing for a lifetime is losing. Fushun will not admit defeat. This is related to his ability. In the palace, an incompetent person cannot stand out from others.

Especially with the master, when the master uses them, he only 'uses' them. Just treat it as a handy tool, use it but don’t trust it. In short, they can be replaced at any time. As long as they reveal their flaws.

Fushun wants to stand out, he wants to prove his abilities. It is the duty of a slave to be anxious about his master's worries. Even if the master doesn't care, they, as slaves, can't help but care.

Qinrou didn't care, but Fushun couldn't help but care. If he was really useless, even if the concubine had a future, he would have nothing to do with him in Chengqian Palace, Zhenshun Zhai, or around the concubine.

Fushun couldn't get close to such an ending, so when he grasped the doubt, he had to dig deeper until the answer was given.

Look, he really found out a result.

Qinrou's eyes were no longer so casual. She glanced at Fushun. This matter was supposed to remain a secret forever, but she didn't expect that he would dig it out.

Qinrou didn't expect them to find out anything, so she just thought she was joking, otherwise she wouldn't have forgotten it so quickly.

It was indeed unexpected.

When Qinrou's eyes fell on him, Fushun immediately felt it. He was already in a hurry. This was his chance to make up for it. Fushun slowed down his heartbeat and tried his best to control himself. Life and death depended on wealth and honor. The dangerous path of the sky has already revealed a half-shadow in front of him. Fushun continued to slow down his tone and tried to be calm. He was very impressed and kept it in mind. Concubines like and are better at using smart people.

He wanted to show his advantages, "The old eunuch is very skinny, but at thirty-five years old, he already has the appearance of fifty years old. He has senior qualifications and entered the palace early. He was waiting in the palace early in the morning. People don’t have many friends.”

"It's such a hard and tiring job," Fushun said implicitly, but in fact it was a disgraceful job, and there was a distinction between slaves and slaves;
Those who serve the master closely, but look down upon but are wary of those in the palace who do not serve the master closely. However, the servants who serve in Sasao look down upon the lowly servants who wait in Xinzheku; but there is no doubt that no matter what kind, the servants who serve in Gongfang will always be at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position. Human nature is innately fond of the strong and noble, so naturally the slaves would not compete with the old eunuch for such a job.

If someone is served in the palace, the master of each palace is not allowed to serve him personally. Even if he wants to serve in the master's palace, he cannot serve him. In superstition, it is said to be "unclean", but in terms of decency, it is before he dislikes the slave. The work was dishonorable.

Keep it with you, even if you ask your love rival to make a sarcastic comment, it will be irrefutable.

Whenever there is a shortage of slaves in the palace, even if they have great talents and pretentious masters, they will not use them. After all, there isn't one, just change it to another one, it will always work.

In short, the old eunuch stayed like this. I stayed there for more than thirty years and never moved again.

Fushun continued: "No one liked him and wanted to compete with him. He just stayed there and stayed like that. Until now!"

"How did you find such a person?" Qin Rou interrupted and asked, and continued to ask sharp questions without hesitation, "How are you sure that this is the person you are looking for?"

Although Qinrou was five or six points certain, she did not dare to be completely sure. After all, there were too many people in the palace, and there were countless such people, and their characteristics could not be blurred.

Fushun understood that the concubine looked like this, not to mention really caring, at least six or seven points of caring, so he hurriedly said: "I thought that it would take a lot of effort to train such a good hand, and the years would be spent. This one must not be too low, at least 20 or higher.”

Because such skills, such proficiency, and this cleverness cannot be developed at a young age. They must be blessed and matured by years.

"And this person must not have close friends from the same hometown. Once a secret is known, it is no longer a secret. Most likely, a few words will leak out." Fushun continued to talk about his feelings.

"So the servant went to look for lonely errands," he eliminated them step by step. "The servant first listed all the suitable errands. The servant was young and his connections were not wide enough, so he specially asked a few elders in the palace for advice. The servant also Asked Aunt Chen.”

This was a risky move, because he didn't know how the concubine treated Aunt Chen, but Fushun could vaguely feel that she was essentially treating them the same as slaves. The more respect and courtesy comes from the fact that Aunt Chen came from the Qianqing Palace and was bestowed by the emperor's holy grace.

As a gift from the emperor, even the empress will treat Aunt Chen with some courtesy and respect. This is human nature, so the few slaves they originally served in Zhenshun Zhai were extremely cautious towards Aunt Chen.

Do they dare to be disrespectful in any way? They dare not. It's because Aunt Chen is a slave from the Qianqing Palace, they don't dare to be disrespectful; her methods are great, and they don't dare to be disrespectful.
