The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 278: Keep Clear
How confused is Qinrou? "Such a reward can only be given when Concubine Ma Jia is pregnant with her eldest brother, and her mother's family, Eni, comes to the palace to serve her?"

So history is not a cycle! Concubine Ma Jia was treated like this when she was pregnant with her eldest brother; now Concubine Yehenala was pregnant with her actual and legitimate eldest brother in the future of Kangxi, and she also received this treatment.

Isn’t it too much of a coincidence!

"Exactly?" Aunt Chen said with a smile. Realizing that Qinrou didn't know, Aunt Chen replied. She also took this opportunity to follow the trend and let the concubine understand the cause and effect.

Aunt Chen reported back: "The eldest brother that Concubine Ma Jia was pregnant with at that time was the first child in the palace? Moreover, Concubine Ma Jia's belly was also pointed. Everyone said that she was an emperor's brother. As expected later, Ma Jia The concubine gave birth to her eldest brother!"

At that time, there were many noble children in the palace, and Concubine Ma Jiashu was also born as a show girl of the Eight Banners. Although Gaishan was just the daughter of a foreign minister, Ma Jia's surname was considered a common one.

It is impossible to value such an emperor's brother too highly. Aunt Chen recalled the situation at that time, with a look of reminiscence on her face, and said: "I still remember that the emperor rewarded me with Bazhen soup at that time."

Later, when Concubine Zhang was in labor, Concubine Dong was in labor, and Concubine Yehenala was pregnant with her third brother, they did not receive this treatment.

When the two concubines Zhang and Dong were pregnant, their bellies were round, and there were imperial doctors waiting on them anytime and anywhere, so everyone knew it.

What they are carrying in their wombs is Princess! Later, the two did give birth to Da Gege and Er Gege respectively.

Even though Concubine Yehenala had a pointed belly when she was pregnant with her third brother, she was not treated like this.

The eldest elder brother is the eldest son, the second elder brother is the legitimate son, the third elder brother does not occupy the eldest son or the legitimate son, and Yehenala is a concubine, so she does not have this treatment.

Qinrou heard another old story from the palace. I was speculating on various answers in my mind.

Because although he also valued the prince, he didn't value him that much, so the reward was gone. Think about it, the differential treatment of the royal family is so obvious. First of all, sons are favored over daughters, and secondly, there are also different treatments among the emperor's elder brothers.

It's no wonder that the concubines fought hard and climbed up. It's not surprising that he would do whatever it takes, but it would be strange to ruin someone's future and even kill an entire family. It's strange that he doesn't want to work hard to earn a way out.

With things in her mind, Qin Rou finished her meal and went to bed to rest again when the time came.

The next day, the queen also found a reason and sent the reward to Yanxi Palace. The husband sings and the wife follows!
Several days passed in a row. During these days, although Kangxi also visited the harem, he mostly went to the Queen's Kunning Palace and Concubine Niu Hulu's Yongshou Palace.

Qinrou did not accept the favor! However, Kangxi did reward him with some things. In addition to jewelry, he also had a set of the Four Treasures of the Study! Qinrou thinks it looks pretty good when displayed with it.

I put it on the shelf as soon as I accepted it. Although I may not use the main one, I must have it. What if it is used?
The layout of Zhenshunzhai was completely in line with her wishes. When Chuchu entered the palace, he left a study room, and now this study room seems to be in shape.

Kangxi was busy, and so was the queen. Although Qinrou was idle, she could also pass the time by herself.

A few days passed like this, on February 14th, concubine Yehenala gave birth to the emperor's fifth son, who was now the fifth elder brother.

Qinrou was not present, and almost all the concubines in the harem were guarding in their respective palaces. Only the queen and Niu Hulu, Concubine Luan, came to Yanxi Palace.

This child was born before Kangxi went to court, but there was no rush in time. Kangxi had already gone to court before the person who announced the good news entered the Qianqing Palace.

After Kangxi came down to the court, he went to the Yanxi Palace to visit the concubine Yehenara who gave birth and the fourth elder brother who was born. Then the fifth elder brother had a name and was given the name "Baoqing"!
Protect the country and protect the country. This name is rich enough! Although Qinrou had known about it for a long time, she couldn't help but sweat when she thought about the queen. The queen's legitimate son had only died a few days ago, and yet he endured his grief to greet the concubine's elder brother.

As a result, Kangxi turned around and married the concubine prince with such a name. To protect the Qing Dynasty, to protect the Qing Dynasty. What about the Queen? Where is the position of her first-born emperor's brother? Once the queen, a concubine called him by this name.

Is it because the queen will not be born again? Is she secretly telling the world that the Queen is destined not to be the legitimate Queen Mother and Queen Mother?
Although Qinrou knew that this was the final fact. Kangxi's vague prediction was already correct! In the end, the queen's legitimate brother failed to succeed Kangxi's throne.

But the most important thing is that in front of her, the Queen is a mute and eats Coptis chinensis. She is forced to smile even though she is suffering so that no one will notice.

Kangxi was really a scumbag emperor. Irrefutable!
Men cannot be trusted, and Kangxi is even less trustworthy. Qinrou confirmed this.

"The queen's reward was sent to Yanxi Palace, right?" Qinrou asked.

Qinrou couldn't guess what the queen was feeling. After all, she is a human being, not a god, and has no ability to see through anyone.

However, she can still roughly speculate on the subsequent development. Now this question is just to confirm my speculation.

"Not yet?" Aunt Chen said: "The Queen is probably still collecting the rewards for Concubine Yehenara and the fifth elder brother at the moment?"

How long did it take for the emperor’s reward to reach Yanxi Palace!

How could it be so fast? The queen and Concubine Niu Hulu guarded Concubine Yehenala after she gave birth to her fifth elder brother. So they each returned to their own palaces first, and there was no rush for rewards.

However, the rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have already been delivered. However, the Empress Dowager not only rewarded the concubine Yehenara and the fifth elder brother, but also rewarded the queen.

I wonder if the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager felt that the rewards were less after Kangxi bestowed the title on them. This thought suddenly appeared in Qinrou's mind.

But when you reach the position of the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager, you rarely need to look at other people's faces!

The queen and Concubine Niu Hulu had a tacit understanding, and they wanted to wait for Emperor Kangxi to reward them, and then they would follow suit.

Secondly, they had also stayed with the concubine Yehenala all night, and were extremely tired. It was natural for them to take a short rest after returning to the palace.

Qinrou fell silent for a moment. The queen may not feel comfortable at this moment!
But in this world, everyone has to bear their own hardships. The queen is a queen, and her status is extremely respected. It is better for her to worry about the queen than to worry about herself.

"We also have to prepare gifts." Qinju said. It’s nice that they don’t have to guard! Women often give birth to babies within two or three days. Staying up late is harmful to the body and skin.

Although she doesn't mind ruining her body, she doesn't want to hurt her body and skin for a stranger with whom she has no friendship.

Not for anyone else! Just for herself.

"You have to get ready." Aunt Chen agreed. "Today is a rare warm sunny day. According to the ancestral rules, if the Emperor and the Queen have not given any other instructions, the fifth elder brother should be carried to my elder brother's place by the servants of the mammy, wet nurse and slaves as soon as he lands."

The problem is that if the Emperor and the Empress had other instructions, it would not have been announced until now.
