The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 283 The gift I prepared earlier was a little thin

The Fifth Prince's third-day bath banquet was held on a grand scale, but few of the concubines in the palace cared. First of all, the Queen must have been the first to know the news.

I'm afraid that before the concubines could even guess what was going on, the Queen already had everything in her hands and knew it all.

The Queen did not stop it, or rather, she could not stop it, or there was no need to stop it. No matter which situation it was, it meant that this grand third-day bathing banquet was inevitable!

Therefore, the Queen's opinion, whether she agrees or not, is no longer that important. The Queen is a powerful woman, but sometimes, the Queen, who is a powerful woman, also has to obey the orders of the more majestic and powerful emperor.

Concubine Niuhulu didn't care even more! The harem of the previous dynasty was destined to have no blood of hers. To put it bluntly, no matter who was more valued, it had nothing to do with Concubine Niuhulu.

What's worse, Yehenala concubine can cause trouble for the queen, and Concubine Niuhulu can say that she is happy to see it happen. What she can't do, someone else has done it. Do you really think that there are only legitimate princes in the former dynasty and the harem?

Trying to figure out what our queen is thinking, and using her own words, what does it matter if you give birth to a child? It is not up to you to decide whether you can raise the child to adulthood or not; it is not up to you to decide whether the child can become a useful person or not.

What's more, a person as intelligent as Concubine Niuhulu could see through the essence of the phenomenon just from the slightest clues; now that Concubine Niuhulu is familiar with the inside story, she knows even more clearly that a grand third-day bathing banquet for the Fifth Prince is imperative.

Otherwise, would the court officials really believe that the imperial power had fallen into the hands of others, just like in the past?
Therefore, Concubine Nianhulu was waiting for the arrival of the third-day bath banquet with a smile on her face and in a good mood.

Concubine Li didn't care much. She had no children, which was a good thing in some ways, but also a bad thing.

Concubine Li was not stupid. She saw some clues. The successive deaths of the royal heirs in the palace were impossible without any human factors.

If it is said that the Queen, the mother of a country, made the mistake unintentionally, that is absolutely impossible!
But Li Shufei silently noticed this, but she also silently swallowed everything. Who can be blamed for not being able to raise a child if she is able to give birth?

It’s their (the royal heirs’) fault for having an incompetent father.

I can give birth to them, but I don’t have the ability to raise them.

What's more, Concubine Li has suffered a lot, and only she knows the sadness in her heart... Why should she hold an umbrella for others?

It’s all the women in the palace’s fault. They are blind and stupid, and don’t even realize it.

The current situation in the palace, with no royal heir, means that Concubine Li has fewer inevitable ties and worries.

But after all, why didn't Concubine Li want a child of her own? She didn't care whether it was the heir to the throne or the emperor's bloodline? As long as it was her bloodline, it would be fine.

After all, things in the world are not always as we wish.

But in the final analysis, she had no heir, so in this palace, which heir's third-day-birth banquet was more grand and which one was more casual, had nothing to do with her, a concubine without children.

Qin Rou didn't care at all. In her eyes, the third-day-bath banquet and the more grand third-day-bath banquet were just the difference between a more lively banquet and a more lively and festive banquet.

She doesn't really care whether there is one or not. If there is one, she will accept it; if not, she will just listen.

As for Yu Qinrou, Concubine Niuhulu and Concubine Li, they were able to let it go, but some people were not.

Concubine Dong couldn't help but think of Ergege. In the eyes of her own "mother", her own children are always the best! And they deserve the best. Concubine Dong didn't want to compare, but she could not care less, but she couldn't help caring about Ergege. She is also an heir to the throne! Why is the difference in treatment between heirs to the throne so obvious?

Are princesses really that bad? In the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager, what do they regard princesses as? An object to be manipulated? A chess piece for marriage? Or a chess piece that can be discarded after use?

When she thought of the Second Princess, Concubine Dong felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

But she always endured it. She didn't show any clues at all, and calmly ordered the servants to withdraw and prepare the gifts for the fifth prince's third birthday.

The gift I prepared earlier was a little too little!
It would be better to add a few more points.

Concubine Wen didn't talk much, so she couldn't help but touch her belly unconsciously, feeling sad. People are always particularly prone to thinking about things they have lost inadvertently.

After stroking her, Concubine Wen unconsciously grabbed the clothes on her front abdomen, and even the clothes were slightly deformed. The servants who served beside her carefully served Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen was very thoughtful, and those who served her closely knew it.

On the contrary, Concubine Wen seemed to have burned her hands all of a sudden. She reacted and quickly let go of her hands that were tightly grasping her clothes. She silently asked the servant to increase the gift.

The other concubines in the palace were quite anxious. If the gift for the Fifth Prince's third-day celebration was too light, it would not be acceptable. Many people were short of money and were racking their brains to think of more gifts.

In every palace and hall, the third-day bathing ceremony for the Fifth Prince is being emphasized!

Amidst all the thoughts of various parties, the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing banquet was in full swing.

In just two or three days, the servants in the palace, under the Queen's decree, would prepare a busy but orderly, lively and festive, yet dignified and decent banquet for the Emperor's third birthday.

Therefore, the busy figures of servants could be seen everywhere, and even on the way to the morning and evening visits, there were always servants who were even busier.

The empress was also busy, and her daily morning and evening visits were more of a formality; the concubines would go to Kunning Palace early to wait, and when the empress remembered them in her busy schedule, she would come out and say a few words and then send them away; or she would just send Huanyan out and then send them away.

On the way back, the palace road was filled with the busy figures of palace servants.

"The palace is so lively. It's been a long time since I've seen the palace maids so busy." Concubine Wen sighed as she left the palace.

After finishing the previous sentence, Concubine Wen continued to talk to Concubine Li next to her: "The Queen is also very hard-working. In the past few days, there have been many times when the lights in the Queen's palace were still lit."

Why are the lights lit? It is to hold a "small" third-day bathing banquet for Prince Baoqing. This shows how solemn and serious it is!
"The Empress has worked hard. She has been busy with the Three-Day Bathing Banquet since yesterday. Time is tight, as she is preparing for the Three-Day Bathing for the Fifth Prince. We can't be careless, as tomorrow is the official day. The Empress has been very careful and has made many additions and changes. The hard work involved is something that we, who are ignorant of the world, cannot understand." Concubine Wen started chatting, and Concubine Li was happy to reply to her.

There is such a happy event in the palace, and everyone is in high spirits now, so no one wants to seek misfortune!
Otherwise, if he ruined this Third Bath Banquet, it would not be worth his own life to pay for it, but the lives of his entire clan.

When dealing with people in the harem, we don’t just deal with the culprit.

Everything was put away together, neatly.

The elders have already understood this.

So everyone is cautious and careful, so as not to harm others or themselves.
