The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 195 No Way
Concubine Niu Hulu also understood the position of the queen and liked Concubine Zhang because Concubine Zhang was easier to control. If the remaining concubines are not under control, the Queen will have no choice but to guard against them and suppress them openly.

The Queen only announced two things today. The first is that Concubine Zhang is banned from contact; the second is that the fourth elder brother is full moon, and Concubine Ma Jia is about to give birth and will come to Kunning Palace to pay her respects.

Everyone also received this message.

After the morning greetings, Qin Rou went to the archery pavilion again and rode and shot a shot. The key was to persevere. Now that she was in high spirits, she was naturally willing to run to the archery pavilion every day.

"Concubine Nala is going to the Arrow Pavilion again." Concubine Li looked at the direction Qin Rou was going, glanced casually, and asked the servants waiting on the side.

"Looking at the direction, it's about right." Zhichun responded. The emperor granted Concubine Nala permission to come in and out of the Arrow Pavilion every day, which was no longer a secret in the palace.

Originally it was not a big deal, but because of the emperor's grace, this was a big deal. Moreover, the location of the Arrow Pavilion was also special, as it belonged to the former dynasty, not the harem, which inevitably made it even more eye-catching.

Concubine Li just asked, and she didn't know what tricks Hadanara used to get the emperor to allow her to go horse racing in the Arrow Pavilion.

Concubine Li could only mention it indirectly to the emperor. Even though she was good at riding, she still didn't dare to mention it. She was a Hanjunqi, so she was always favored, but the courtiers of the Manjunqi usually fought fiercely. But they all looked down upon the Han military flag.

The concubine Hadana could do the same thing, but she couldn't. Just like hunting on horseback, Concubine Hadana was the Manchu military flag. The courtiers of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia in the previous dynasty knew about it, and although they would complain a lot, the children of the Manchus themselves grew up on horseback, and some people impeached her. , someone will like her.

If the same thing happened to her, the courtiers of the previous dynasty would probably be furious. Not to mention that the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Mongolian Army looked down upon the children of the Han Army; they would not let go of such an opportunity to ridicule and suppress them!

For example, the courtiers of the Han Army Banner strongly advocated that women should take chastity and tranquility as their top priority, and that riding horses and hunting should be treated as the son's business. I'm afraid that before the ministers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia say anything, the ministers of the Han Army Banner will jump out and say something wrong.

The dispute between Manchu, Mongolia and Han was already very peaceful in the harem, but it was even more intense in the court.

If you don’t believe it, take a look. There were so many ministers in the previous dynasty, those who held real power and held high positions. Almost all of them were from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. It was difficult for those under the Han Army Banner to get ahead; it was even more difficult to control real power.

"You said that Concubine Ma Jia and Concubine Zhang really have no influence on her?" Concubine Li asked again. She was also a little puzzled. Wouldn't the Hadana La family be afraid?

Concubine Zhang may not be a strong rival, but she is enough to cause some trouble, otherwise the queen would not let her go.

Concubine Ma Jia was even more of a formidable enemy, and the emperor's long-term favor was enough to evenly compare her.

"Xu is the concubine of Hadana, don't think too much about it!" Zhichun said politely and implicitly while serving his concubine. Perhaps Concubine Hadana is just simpler-minded?

Concubine Li paused and glanced at Zhichun.

Qinrou really didn't care. She was not stupid. She was perceptive enough. Naturally, she could sense that the queen was deliberately taking advantage of her power and pushed Concubine Zhang out. At least she had this intention.

However, she didn't care because there was no need to care. In her current situation, she might want to be promoted! The road ahead has been blocked.

Might as well beg to die sooner.

No matter whether you walk horizontally or vertically, this road will never lead to success. Words like this are engraved in all directions; Qinrou is too lazy to struggle, knowing that her efforts are fruitless and she cannot see a promising future;

As for other things, she couldn't think of what she could do? Spread feminist ideas? Don't be ridiculous, it would be better to lie down and die quickly. She has been lonely for sixteen years, and she plans to continue to be lonely. So isn’t it normal to act occasionally and without any scruples?
She can be very well-behaved and abide by her duties as a concubine. She already has excellent self-control.

Qinrou was not in a hurry, but Xiaoman was very anxious. Seeing that Qinrou was still interested in riding a horse, she lowered her voice and said, "Concubine, you have to plan for yourself! Concubine Zhang is banned from contact, and Concubine Ma Jia is out of confinement." Tomorrow, the imperial heir in the belly of the concubine Nala in Yanxi Palace will also be born, and she will also plan to pamper her..."

Just thinking about this prospect makes Xiaoman feel worried and bald.

"Xiao Man! You have to understand this truth: You can't keep people who are destined to go far away." For example, the so-called parental love between Danzhu and her cold forehead cannot be forced, and she neither cares about it nor wants to. I gave up early.

Qinrou then said the next sentence: "Things that are destined to leave cannot be kept!"

For example, the emperor's love is illusory and seems to be extremely real. It is clearly visible and tangible; but once it is about to leave, no matter how hard you try, you can't keep it.

Isn't she good now? There is only herself in her world, and she doesn't have to think about anyone else.

She will put a lot of effort into pampering her, but not too much. The main thing is that she can't force it.

Xiaoman was confused, but she finally understood. She would rather not understand, and become even more anxious after understanding. Does this mean she doesn't even fight for the emperor's favor?
"Concubine has her own reasons, but this slave thinks that we are here in this world to live our lives, not to mention vigorously, but we have to try our best! Whether you can keep it or not, how can you know the outcome if you don't try, concubine? ." Xiaoman couldn't help but persuade.

"I just know the ending too well." Qinrou glanced at Xiaoman.

The relationship between a man and a woman can be happy for several years, but they are just happy every day. Concubine Xian Hui's spirit tablet is stuck there, and she has no hope of promotion.

Qinrou really couldn't bring herself to have any fun. It’s better to just leave it like this, there’s nothing wrong with it! There is no need to care about anything, life and death are destiny, and wealth is truly in the sky.

Qinrou didn't mean to say much. Anyway, she was very happy to ride a horse every day. Maybe one day, the emperor would take back this privilege?
It's better to have fun while the emperor acquiesces.

At least there are no regrets.

As Lin Daiyu said in Dream of Red Mansions: I come cleanly and leave cleanly.

She had nothing else to ask for, and that was all she could ask for. Because this is the simplest and requires the least effort, Qinrou has always done it this way.

Xiaoman hesitated to speak, but he understood that the concubine could not say more, and Qinrou did not need to tell others about her philosophy and her survival.

A drop of water that falls into the sea, let it merge into the sea! Why do you have to splash it? Even though it is beautiful, it is of no use. It is just a futile struggle.

Therefore, she is also willing to just be, plain and nameless, submerged in history.

Historically, there is actually no need to keep her name.

There is no way out, so I don’t choose to struggle.
