The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 237 Worry about Phoenix Body
Wan Yan came out of the main hall, and two servants, one on the left and one on the right, stood guard in front of the palace. When Wan Yan went out, they all bowed to Wan Yan. Wan Yan ignored them and walked to the front of the hall. When he looked around, he saw that almost all the concubines in the harem were there. Here it is.

Except for Concubine Niu Hulu, Concubine Bila and Concubine Nala of Yanxi Palace.

Wan Yan bowed first, and then said calmly and politely: "The Queen is extremely sad, please go back, concubines!"

She is worthy of being the Queen's personal maid. In just one short conversation, she revealed nothing and everything.

Everyone bowed, and Concubine Li looked worried, and said to Wan Yan: "Excessive sadness leads to heartache. The Queen is the mother of a country, she rules over the women of the world, and governs the six palaces. No one disrespects her. The Queen mourns, and the concubines and concubines of the Sixth Palace, All the ladies inside and outside are extremely worried, so please take good care of your body, the Queen."

"Sister Li is right," Concubine Tamucha also hurriedly followed Concubine Li and interrupted, with a sad look on her face, as if she had lost her father, her mother, her son or her daughter. In her words, she expressed her deep sympathy for the mother of a country and the current queen. concerns:

"The Queen is grieving in her heart, and we wish we could replace it with ourselves. As long as the grief on the Queen's body can be transferred. The servants cannot share the Queen's worries. The servants can only pray for the second elder brother day and night, and also pray for the Queen. The Queen must take good care of her body."

When Concubine Dong and Concubine Li heard this, their expressions changed slightly. They knew that Concubine Tamucha was a flexible person, but they never thought that she could be so flexible.

It is common sense to want to please the Queen! Who in the harem doesn't want to please the Queen and receive the slightest bit of protection, but the second elder brother can also be arranged by her.

He was still in front of the Queen, using his second elder brother as a raft to seek shelter! The second elder brother was so noble, even though he died young, Concubine Tamucha used his name to please the Queen. It was strange that the Queen was happy.

Even if the queen's second elder brother died in infancy, it was not for a little concubine to take advantage of his second elder brother's name.

"Please, Queen, please take good care of your phoenix body." Concubine Dong also knelt down to salute. Her face, actions and demeanor were formal and worried, expressing the concerns of a concubine and a concubine for the mistress and the safety of the queen's phoenix body. , played vividly.

Concubine Dong knelt down, and Qin Rou also followed the rules and knelt down. With pleading and worry in her eyes, she said: "Please take care of your phoenix body, queen."

The concubines are not stupid, and some want to take the opportunity to show off; but most of them don't want to break the peace in front of them. If they speak at this time, if they can really speak to the Queen's heart, they may naturally get one or two protections;
But if they can't, their suffering will come.

Preferring the latter, facing such an ending is likely to be their final fate. No one wants to cause trouble.

So someone took the lead, and those who wanted to ignore the crowd and maintain the peace in front of them quickly knelt down and said, "Slave, wait, please take care of your body, Queen."

When one person kneels down, thousands of others kneel down. As a result, all the concubines standing in front of the main hall of Kunning Palace, including the servants serving them, all knelt down to serve the concubines and their masters, and they also knelt respectfully aside.

And all the concubines may not speak in unison, but all of them request sincerely.

The concubines knew that when they entered the palace, they not only served the emperor with all their heart, but also served the queen with all their heart. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to show it out. Otherwise, if the labels of "disrespecting the queen" and "incompetent service" are slapped on, they will be meat on the chopping board and can be beaten and killed at will.

Naturally, they didn't want to leave such an obvious clue.

Huan Yan looked at the people who were saluting in unison. They had various faces. No matter what they were feeling, their faces were full of worry. As long as the Queen empress empresses the world, lives in Kunning Palace, and sits on the phoenix throne, everyone will be worried. Be respectful and pay homage.

Taking the Queen's worries as her worries and taking the Queen's pleasure as her pleasure, Wan Yan served the Queen for seven years. As the eldest maid of Kunning Palace, her ability to handle things is probably as good as that of some of the concubines in this palace. Not on.

Therefore, even though the concubines all knelt down to salute, Wan Yan still did not show any signs of panic. Instead, she bowed first, with a pure and upright voice, respectful and courteous, and said: "I will definitely report the concubines' request to the Queen. Concubines, please come back."

The concubines put their hands on the slave's arms, and then stood up slowly. After standing still, they bowed slightly in the direction of the main hall, and then left the Kunning Palace.

Even after leaving the door of Kunning Palace, the concubines were still worried, and the palace was uneasy. In the harem, the queen had not shown up since the day the second elder brother was buried.

They were just concubines, and they couldn't bear to ask for an audience with the Queen. But if the queen is ill, they will eventually have to go and apologize.

Obviously they have no fault, but in the end they need to bear the consequences of their mistakes. It is also the right time for people to speak softly! Life! It's just bad luck and bad fate.

Everyone returned to their respective palaces. Qinrou was not in a hurry. She came and went all by herself, but she did not walk alone on this palace road. Occasionally, one or two words can be heard.

"The Queen has not seen us for several days, and I don't know how long it will last. Excessive grief will hurt the body. I'm afraid that the Queen will become unwell." Qinrou heard that behind her, a concubine was worried and talking to another concubine. Concubine said.

"Is the Empress sad for the second elder brother?" Another concubine understood clearly. This is also a fact that is well known to all the concubines. "The second elder brother's sudden illness is so sudden, urgent and menacing that even the imperial doctors have no idea." When the second elder brother comes, he can no longer bear it. The queen will inevitably feel sad when she thinks of the suffering that the second elder brother has suffered. "

The imperial doctors couldn't even save him, and the second elder brother was gone. The empress was obviously the mother of the world, and she held all the phoenix treasures, phoenix books, and phoenix seals in her hands. The affairs of the harem were taken care of by the empress.

Whether or not the imperial physician is declared is just a matter of the queen's words. No matter how powerful she was, she still couldn't save her second elder brother. It would be strange if the queen didn't feel regret and grief.

"That's exactly what you said." She nodded, "Second Elder Brother's illness came on violently and violently. I heard that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had already left Cining Palace since they heard that Second Elder Brother was feeling unwell. , Set off from Ciren Palace to Kunning Palace, but the second elder brother is already in trouble before he arrives."

There are rules for speaking in the palace. The word "die" is most taboo, and the concubines who have no backers are even more cautious.

"After the death of the second elder brother, the Queen Mother was already very sad. She just endured the grief and took care of the second elder brother's affairs. However, after the second elder brother's small coffin was transported out of the palace, the Queen Mother has been there ever since. I am still extremely sad and crying, and I still can’t express my grief! “I don’t know when the Queen will recover. There is a storm coming in this palace!
