The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 198 Reply
A person tries to persuade you, and you don’t know his true purpose, but you can’t help but reply, and you can’t just deal with it. Then, there must be an answer and an attitude.

Qinju said: "Aunt Chen, as I said to Xiaoman before, you can't keep some people who want to go away; you can't keep things that are destined to leave! Some things can't be fought for. I'm too early I understand this!"

Aunt Chen's persuasion cannot be said to be bad, because what she said is the truth; but it cannot be said to be good, because Aunt Chen has a way out, and she should not have said this. No one can dedicate himself to assisting another master without having anything to do with his future.

"Aunt Chen, since you sincerely advise me, I have to truly reply to you. To put it bluntly, the most common thing in life is accidents. No one has a pair of prescient eyes that can see through the future. I was born stupid, and there are so many smart people in the world, many smarter than me. I never thought I was that capable of guessing people’s hearts, let alone the emperor’s heart.”

Kangxi's favor was not so quarrelsome, so she had no way of taking action against Qinrou's implication.

So she didn't care about pampering.

But she just knew that falling out of favor was the final outcome of every concubine. She just accepted it in advance. After all, she had accepted it and no longer died.

After hearing this, Aunt Chen seemed to understand the crux of the matter, and then she said with a little respect: "I'm sorry for speaking so bluntly, but with my humble eyes, the emperor has his own thoughts in treating the concubine."

In the palace, favor means that Jane is in the emperor's heart. If the emperor was not happy, Concubine Nala would not have been favored for such a long time; nor would she have a slave like her to serve at Zhenshunzhai.

A concubine led two servants on the palace road with red walls and green tiles. In broad daylight, the palace road was not quiet. There were always palace people walking respectfully on the palace road. When Aunt Chen spoke, she also knew that Avoid people and gossip, stay silent.

"This is natural." Qinrou responded. Aunt Chen didn't need to remind her, she knew this. Kangxi did not say that there were three thousand beauties in the harem, but there were more than thirty who were famous and distinguished!
Her family had no help, and Kangxi had no reason to choose her. To put it bluntly, even if she is useful, there are thousands of people in the palace who can replace her.

She can be favored, even if the emperor is not happy about her, even ghosts will not believe it.

Of course, the emperor's thoughts, who knows what kind of thoughts he has in his heart.

Qinju said: "I'm not that heartless." So there is no need to remind her. "If the emperor likes it, I will serve you well."

Until the emperor didn't like her! This is also her duty as a concubine.

Aunt Chen's brain was not rusty and she was perceptive enough, so she naturally understood what the concubine meant. If the emperor likes her, she must be easy to serve. She is the only qualified concubine in the harem.

Aunt Chen said nothing, and the three of them returned to Zhenshun Zhai together. Emperor Kangxi still did not go to court. Qinrou lay in the petal water where she was bathing. The moment her snow-white skin touched the water, a faint smile appeared on her cold face;
Close your eyes and enjoy it, it’s so comfortable! Fortunately she is favored! The quality of life has improved more than ten times; if she had not been pampered, how could it be her turn to enjoy the privilege of bathing at any time.

Xiao Man was waiting on the side, looking at the expression on Qinrou's face. On the snow-white skin, there were still traces of love between a man and a woman. Xiao Man took a quick look and was very satisfied. If he continues this trend, perhaps, he will become a concubine. The emperor’s heir will soon be left in the concubine’s belly!

Xiaoman knelt down to serve her, asking for instructions with a slight smile and tenderness, "Concubine, I'm tired, I'll give you a massage!"

The concubine is the first master that Xiaoman has served after being trained, but for a slave like her, the rules are engraved in her bones.

Xiaoman was in awe of the imperial power, the palace, and the master of the harem, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous. When she was assigned to serve in Zhenshunzhai, she was even more trembling.

Therefore, the service is very attentive. Qinrou didn't reply, she was very tired. Not too lazy to reply, Xiaoman pressed it gently and slowly. When he opened his eyes, he closed his eyes and rested his mind. Gradually, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

Qinrou vaguely understood that she was sleepy. Following the last glimmer of clarity in his mind, he stood up from the bathtub, vaguely ordered Xiaoman to wipe the water off his body, and walked to the bed with blurred eyes.

Someone seemed to be moving her body in the blur, which gave her an inexplicable sense of security. It was very familiar, so she couldn't think of it and continued to sleep deeply.

……

After getting up from her nap, Qinrou washed herself up before going to the imperial concubine's bed and letting her servants sort out the mess.

Kangxi stretched out his hand and pulled Qinrou to his side. He was in a good mood and said in a very good tone, "I've had enough sleep."

The hour was almost over, and Kangxi was about to wake her up. If it were any later, dinner would have been missed.

Qinrou nodded. She was used to taking a nap. On the other hand, she also used to make up for the sleep she lacked the night before the next day.

After all, as a palace concubine, she basically makes her own decisions on how to spend her time outside of morning and evening routines.

Apart from reading in a daze, Qinrou only walked around the palace.

Seeing how quiet she was, Kangxi said: "I have been busy these days, and I heard from my servants that you can even run horses. I wanted to go and have a look in person, but when I went to court, I heard that you were not in the arrow pavilion. I have returned to Zhenshunzhai, let me take a look."

Qinrou's mind was almost awake, and she had regained her clarity. She listened and refined the words from Kangxi's mouth, and Mo cursed in her heart. However, come and see that she was sleeping soundly, did you take a nap with her by the way?

Qinrou no longer apologized, she said: "The sun is too hot, so hot that I feel like I have become a furnace. I don't want to continue to be in the sun. What if I get tanned? I will came back."

It's so hot and the whole body is covered in sweat. It's no wonder that the concubines in the palace don't like to move. Inertia is one thing; if they get sweaty, they can't take a bath anytime and anywhere, who wants to move.

In the palace, water is not freely available; especially hot water, it needs to be boiled in the imperial kitchen. The system in the palace is there, and they are not easy to control.

"When the sun comes out, there is nothing that is not bright." Kangxi also understood this truth, "Let's take a look!" Kangxi looked at Qinrou's face repeatedly for a while, making sure that everything was okay, and then said: "I'm not sunburned! I'm not sunburned either. How’s your tan? It’s great!”

All the concubines in the harem do not pay attention to their appearance.

Qinrou couldn't help but smile. No one didn't care about their appearance. To put it bluntly, there were so many people in the world who didn't want to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

"That's right! I was just afraid of getting sunburned, so I came back quickly." Qinrou also had to think about her own appearance.
