The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 199

The emperor held her hand and said, "Go and have a meal."

How else could Kangxi use Li Dequan so smoothly? With such sharp eyesight, the servants nearby could not keep up with her. When Qinrou got up, Li Dequan went to order the servants to prepare the meal with great foresight.

It just so happened that after the concubine washed up, it was just right for the emperor and the concubine to have a meal together. How could anyone else know the Emperor's pulse so accurately?

Qinrou took Kangxi's hand and walked to the table together. She added with a little embarrassment, "I can only mount a horse and run, but I'm not very skilled yet." More practice is needed.

Once you get familiar with it in the future, you'll probably be able to run more smoothly and won't be as afraid as you are now.

Kangxi turned to look at her and joked: "I'll go over there tomorrow to see how the students I taught are doing!"

Emperor Kangxi really taught her attentively. At least he stayed with her for the first two days, watching her ride the horse carefully, as if she was sitting on a cliff, with her body stiff and slowly able to control the horse. Let's move and run!
This also echoes her previous sentence, disciple of the Emperor.

Qinju said: "Is the emperor going to give guidance on the lessons?" Since she is a student and acts as a teacher, how can she not take some real action?

"It doesn't count!" Kangxi thought about it carefully, and then said to Qinju: "I'm just going to check the students' homework and learning results."

"I think you are so smart that you don't need my guidance anymore." Emperor Kangxi looked at Qinrou carefully and said.

What she needs most now is to be more skillful. Emperor Kangxi laughed and thought, take a look first and see how he rides! Maybe you can teach her some tricks. However, at most, it is just telling students some tips, but it cannot be regarded as guidance.

"I think so too," Qinrou said.

Anyway, she is not afraid, whether it is guidance or testing, she is not afraid. What she learns is her own. The emperor's age is almost as long as his riding and shooting career. Manchus grow up on horseback, not just in one sentence. It's just saying, it's a fact.

Otherwise, why should the emperor work hard?
After dinner, it was actually only past noon, so Kangxi was about to leave, "There were some tricks in the previous court. I brought you some riding clothes. Take a look for yourself. Do you like it?"

Qinrou kept nodding her head. After nodding, she remembered and asked in surprise: "Did the Emperor bring riding clothes for this servant?"

She didn't even see it!
Kangxi stroked her face and said, "Take it with you. Ask Aunt Chen to keep it for you and take a look at it later."

Kangxi knew all the servants in the Qianqing Palace. That was his bedroom. If someone with malicious intentions sneaked into it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Qianqing Palace is so big, even if a servant is sent out as a sweeper, or a rough servant is sent to serve in the Palace of Qianqing, no servant, no matter how humble, can enter or leave without the emperor's permission.

It was naturally Kangxi's nod that Aunt Chen could enter the Qianqing Palace. He knew his net worth, background, and value well.

That's why she was assigned to serve in Zhenshun Zhai later! The emperor's intention was also his acquiescence, and Aunt Chen was under her control. It's just that there has never been a precedent for an aunt to serve the concubine, so she didn't explicitly tell the harem.

Kangxi also felt that the servants around her were really young and useless, and he felt more at ease with an experienced person taking care of them.

Aunt Chen might not understand it at first, but she later realized the truth. Therefore, the service becomes more ground-minded.

So what if they come out of Qianqing Palace! If the current master cannot tolerate her, she will have nowhere to go and it will be impossible for her to return to Qianqing Palace.

So now, she and Qinrou are almost in a relationship where they both prosper and suffer. What if Aunt Chen herself wanted to leave the Qianqing Palace and come to Zhenshun Zhai to serve her?

If you ask her what she means, she will naturally be unwilling. The former is served in the Qianqing Palace, serving the Ninth Five Supreme Being. Even if she is just an ordinary aunt, she still has an extremely noble dignity;

But to serve a nameless concubine? Aunt Chen's mentality is not so good.

But will the emperor, the master of Qianqing Palace, seek her opinion? She was just a slave, and she was transferred as soon as she was transferred. Could it be that she still had opinions?

When Aunt Chen heard that the emperor mentioned her, she lowered her head slightly to show respect.

Qinrou nodded. She didn't plan to go see her right away anyway, so she didn't turn around to see Aunt Chen. Emperor Kangxi gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.

Qinrou bowed and sent Emperor Kangxi away, and then excitedly went over to see the riding attire that the emperor had ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make.

The colors are all light colors, but there is only one riding outfit that is as dazzling as flames, and the color is already quite rich.

Qinrou was stunned and stroked her for a while. Aunt Chen didn't say a word. She only served her with a smile. Qinrou ordered: "Put it away!"

She can't use it.

Such a positive color cannot be worn on her body. What a shame.

Xiaoman wanted to say something, but Aunt Chen stopped her. Aunt Chen responded: "Hey! Just put it away, then, and take it out to wear later."

Qinrou didn't refute, but just slandered her. The so-called future was far away. I don’t know if she will be able to see it in her lifetime.

Qinrou didn't bother to refute. Clothes of this color, even if they were used to press the bottom of a box, looked beautiful just by looking at them.

As Aunt Chen spoke, she packed up her riding clothes.

The emperor and Eunuch Li hinted openly and secretly that she would serve the concubine in the future. Although she still went to Qianqing Palace in Yueli, it was just because Yueli could not move to Chengqian Palace yet.

Moreover, even if she is serving the concubine now, she would rather have her monthly records hung in the Qianqing Palace. After all, the concubine is now only a concubine, and in the palace, status determines dignity.

Which one is more convenient and more convenient, the servants who serve in the palace of the concubines and the servants who serve in the palace of Qianqing, which one is more important? Aunt Chen knows it all!

The few servants did not dare to say any more. In the late emperor's harem, there were many concubines who had been concubines all their lives. Those who had been promoted were all from rich families and nobles; they did not dare to think that concubines could be promoted.

I just hope that the concubine can give birth to one or two royal brothers, raise them well, and have someone to rely on for life. Twenty or thirty years later, it is not impossible for the mother to take the position of concubine based on the wealth of her son.

No matter how much they dared to think, they never dared to think that the concubines would be promoted to the throne immediately, and it would have been more than ten years since the emperor ascended the throne. Now it is the eleventh year of Kangxi, and it has been seven years since the concubines were lucky enough.

In the palace, only the empress is in the middle palace, and Niu Hulu is the concubine. For so many years, no one has been promoted, so you know how difficult it is to be promoted to a prestigious position!
They dare not dream in the clear sky and daylight!

Qinrou looked okay, but she didn't know what Fushun's minions were thinking. She knew that she had to roll her eyes. Twenty or thirty years later, her bones turned to ashes.

At this time, she did not guess what the slaves were thinking, so she turned around and went to change clothes and admire them with great interest.
