The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 286: Concubine Bila has also arrived

Aunt Chen fell behind again and gave some instructions to Xiaoman and Fushun. They were both servants of Zhenshunzhai. Fushun was steady, but Xiaoman was more impatient. When something good happened, he wanted to rush forward. Such a temper was not a good thing in the palace.

Aunt Chen tried her best to make her more stable. From this, we can see that the Imperial Household Department was very "careful" in selecting servants. I wonder if other concubines have such less obvious but real character flaws.

Aunt Chen was thinking about it, and now she was a little hesitant about disciplining Xiaoman; Aunt Chen was thinking of a way!
But with Fushun around, she felt a little more at ease.

Then Aunt Chen helped Qin Rou out of the door, with Cang Zi leading the way, all the way to the Imperial Garden.

The palace maids and eunuchs who came and went on the palace road all had almost the same unremarkable faces, so it was difficult to remember them even if one wanted to.

The concubines, even the concubines, all dressed up to compete with each other in splendor. Qin Rou was dressed up in her best attire, and at this banquet, she could only be said to have blended in.

Wusuli concubine was timid. She didn't dare to walk with Qinrou. So she got up early, dressed up early, and went to the imperial garden quietly.

Although Wusuli Concubine was a transparent person, she knew a lot. Although not everyone knew about Concubine Nara's favor, most of the time it was clear to everyone.

The fame of Concubine Nara is well-known and has its roots in history.

Being with her is bound to attract attention, but in some ways, no matter whether it is good or bad.

But she played the game of bullying the weak and fearing the strong to the fullest. Wusuli concubine was timid, but it didn't mean that her mind was not clear.

She knew clearly that whoever was with Concubine Nara would be implicated and tempted.

For such a long time, Concubine Wusuli gritted her teeth and endured, almost completely separating her Minghui Room from Zhenshunzhai in Chengqian Palace.

This is also due to Concubine Nara's really cold-hearted character.

Therefore, Wusuli concubine did not want to be implicated at this critical moment. She had tried her best to give the necessary information.

Concubine Wusuli is also a human being with human nature, so her primary thought is to protect herself!

Qinrou had forgotten that there was another concubine living in Chengqian Palace. Concubine Wusuli had a low presence and was not noisy. Qinrou was very satisfied with this companion living in the same palace.

Because Concubine Wusuli went there early on purpose and avoided the noise in Zhenshunzhai, when Qinrou went out, she did not remember that there was another Concubine Wusuli living in Chengqian Palace.

Along the way, I met many concubines. Whenever I saw Qin Rou and Aunt Chen beside her, I would take a second look.

Aunt Chen! The servant assigned by the Emperor to serve in Chengqian Palace. I don't know what kind of foxy tricks Concubine Nara used to persuade the Emperor with soft words to get Aunt Chen who knows a lot about medicine!
Later, the emperor was so confused that he "forgot" to recall Aunt Chen to the Qianqing Palace. As a result, Aunt Chen is still serving in Zhenshunzhai.

Such a trick is amazing. But I haven't seen the real owner, Aunt Chen, very often before, so when I saw her this time, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"How arrogant!" It can only be said that human nature is the same, and most people think the same thing. They all secretly said, "It would have been fine if she had just stayed in her own palace before, but now she is being served by Aunt Chen, and at the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing banquet. Who in the world dares to be so arrogant?"

But no one dared to say it, so everyone showed their bullying and fear of the strong to the extreme. People of low status, if they said this, huge troubles would come to them.

They would rather wait! Wait for that stupid and stubborn idiot to come out and cause trouble for Concubine Nara, rather than looking for trouble themselves.

Qinrou is not someone who cares about other concubines. As long as it doesn't bother her, doesn't say it in front of her, and doesn't let her hear it, Qinrou never cares.

Other concubines have opinions about her! Yes, they do. It doesn't have much impact. They can only say a few gossips in secret. She controls everything and has a mouth on others. Can she make a golden order and tell everyone to shut up?

The flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. The further you go, the more you realize this. Spring has its own scenery, and summer has its own charm. Every season has its own unique characteristics.

Is that so? The concubines who went to the center of the Imperial Garden would have one or two flowers on their banners. Flowers are the most representative things in spring.

When concubines met each other, they would talk about the flowers on their heads.

Qinrou looked all the way over, and Aunt Chen said, "There are the most flowers in spring. If you pick them today, they will bloom again tomorrow, so there are always a lot of flowers every day. When the servants trimmed the branches, they also trimmed a lot of beautiful flowers that didn't match the branches. The concubines in each palace would pick a few, and after special treatment, they would wear them on their heads. They were beautiful and appropriate, elegant and not out of the ordinary. They were very popular with the nobles."

Even the wives of royal family members, nobles and ministers could not avoid wearing a few flowers in their hair.

After all, she is really beautiful. Beauty is loved by all, regardless of age.

"It's really beautiful!" Qin Rou would not deny this. It's cheap and beautiful, who wouldn't like it? Suitable for all ages!

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, men also wore flowers in their hair. This shows that it is suitable for both young and old, and for both men and women.

Aunt Chen smiled and didn't say much, just taking care of the concubine attentively. What else will we talk about later? Let's get enough rest first!

But Aunt Chen was happy to please the concubine. After all, she was still a little girl. No matter how indifferent she was, she was at an age where she loved beauty. It was not strange at all that she liked flowers.

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "Why don't I pick a branch and put it on Concubine's hair? Even if it's just for a little while!"

Qin Rou shook her head, "Forget it!" What if the flowers wilt on her head? Qin Rou raised her eyes slightly, wanting to see the flowers on her head, but she didn't see any. Qin Rou still said, "I already have one. The flowers haven't been processed yet. If I wear them on my head, they will wilt in a while and won't look good."

The implication is not good either. It is beautiful, but when it blooms to its fullest, it means that it is about to wither.

But the most important thing is that it doesn’t look good.

Aunt Chen stopped trying to persuade her and silently supported Qin Rou to the center of the Imperial Garden.

In the center of the Imperial Garden, there is a sea of ​​flowers. There are many butterflies and bees. The flowers are colorful and in full bloom, while some are half-opened and about to fall.

How can it not be beautiful!
The ministers' wives have not yet entered the palace. But they will soon. Aunt Chen has news. It must be that the queen turned a blind eye and deliberately let it go.

After all, although the concubines were humble, they also represented the dignity of the royal family.

Concubine Bila also arrived, gathered together, with three or four sturdy servants surrounding her.
