The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

The concubines had already arrived in twos and threes, and everyone was looking at Concubine Bila, who was being surrounded by them.

Beside Concubine Bila, there was a special maid who was helping her walk forward, and on the other side, there was another maid who was serving her carefully.

Concubine Bila walked forward cautiously, as if there was a fortune ahead that she couldn't miss.

She is worthy of being the center of attention! As soon as she appeared, she grabbed everyone's attention, whether openly or secretly. Many people's eyes fell on Concubine Bila's belly, which was so flat that no marks could be seen.

If she didn't mention it, and others didn't know what happened, no one would have thought that there was a child in her belly.

Concubine Ma Jia and Concubine Dong stood together. They were not surprised by Concubine Bila's arrival! They had already received the news. Concubine Bila wanted to announce to the world that she was coming in person. It was just a little different from the emperor's arrival. She wanted all the concubines in the harem to greet and flatter her.

"This is how you should serve the Empress Dowager and the Empress!" Concubine Ma Jia gave them a look, then quickly turned around as if she had seen something dirty.

But you're pregnant, and you act like it's nothing new. Why are you showing off in front of anyone?
Concubine Dong was emotionally stable. The biggest difference between her and Concubine Ma Jia and other concubines in the palace was that even if she looked down on someone, she would not say it out loud.

Is it better for Concubine Bila to die? It would be best if she had no more meat in her belly, and the number of heirs in the palace would be thin! That would make her precious. Even if she was a princess, she would be extremely precious.

Concubine Ma Jia complained, and Concubine Dong took over and said something nice, as if you were arguing with her, and then said: "Concubine Bila is pregnant with the royal heir, so the servants will naturally serve her with the utmost care. We are not the first ones to be pregnant, and we have experienced it ourselves, so how can we not know what the servants in the palace are like?"

Concubine Dong Shu didn't seem to care much. To serve a pregnant concubine, in public and within sight, the servants would naturally serve her very attentively and carefully.

Otherwise, the servants would be accused of failing to serve their families and bring disaster upon themselves. Would they do such a thing openly?

Concubine Ma Jia did not answer. After a long while, she groaned and said, "We have all been pregnant before, but we are not so tactless. We are all carefully nurturing the heir in our belly. Why would we come to such a crowded and noisy place?"

How long had Concubine Bila just found out about her pregnancy? Was it three months? The Empress had ordered her to take good care of the baby and not to go to her morning and evening visits.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Concubine Bila, who always went wherever there was fun, ended up in such a busy place.

"Let's be cautious," Concubine Dong advised. "It's the first time for us to be mothers. We always feel that the heir in our belly is unstable, so it's not too much to be cautious. Concubine Bila is different from us. She has a different temperament. She is more generous. Maybe she is pregnant and the baby is stable, so Concubine Bila also came out for a walk. It's boring to sit in the bedroom all day."

In both words and deeds, he was trying to find excuses for Concubine Bila. If anyone who didn't know the truth listened, they would definitely say that he was understanding.

"Don't show your displeasure on the surface," seeing Concubine Bila, surrounded by several servants and approaching, Concubine Dong hurriedly reminded her softly, "It's a bit harsh to say that she is pregnant with the dragon fetus, so she is naturally more noble. We can't compare. If we make a fuss, we will suffer from the slightest deviation."

This is the reality. Concubine Bila is now pregnant, so she is more precious. Even if they are the ones who have the heir to the throne.

Concubine Ma Jia's face changed, and she looked a little unhappy. It was not because Concubine Dong was wrong, on the contrary, Concubine Dong was too right!

It hit a sore spot, so Concubine Ma Jia was predicted to suffer the consequences. A man of insight is a hero, and Concubine Ma Jia's expression quickly changed, and a smile returned to her face.

Concubine Ma Jia's expression changed again. She had been surprised enough today. She approached Concubine Dong and whispered with some surprise: "Why is Concubine Bila wearing a lavender palace dress?" Isn't this a collision?
The palace knew the rules well, that those of less noble status should avoid wearing the clothes and accessories of noble status, especially in such occasions.

Concubine Bila is also an old veteran in the palace. How could she make such a mistake, unless she did it knowingly!
At this time, Concubine Ma Jia wanted to see Concubine Li's expression, which might not be very exciting. Not everyone can wear a lavender dress. Concubine Dong was also a little surprised, but she saw it earlier than Concubine Ma Jia; she could also think of what Concubine Ma Jia could think of, and she could also think of what Concubine Ma Jia could not think of.

It's better to be a little stupid! The dragon fetus in her belly can protect her, but it may not be able to protect her for long.

Concubine Dong heard Concubine Ma Jia's question, but Concubine Bila had already walked up to her, so she naturally would not whisper to Concubine Ma Jia.

shameful!
Concubine Bila carefully protected her body and walked forward, raising her head slightly with a tentative smile of joy on her face, and was served by servants.

All the concubines present greeted Concubine Bila.

Concubine Bila also knew the rules and greeted the other concubines politely.

Even when performing the ceremony, the maids were still very careful to support Concubine Bila. Qinrou wondered if these maids were carrying an atomic bomb.

So cautious.

"My sister is pregnant and very noble, so why did she come to join in the fun?" Concubine Dong smiled and asked with a smile.

Although Concubine Dong was a bannerman concubine, she entered the palace almost at the same year as Concubine Bila and was older than her. As for her status, it could not be used to judge the difference between them.

Naturally, she is more noble and takes on more responsibilities as a sister.

Concubine Bila heaved a sigh of relief and let the maids serve her. Then she replied, "The third-day bathing banquet has always been a major event to ward off disasters and pray for blessings. Such a major event has not happened in the palace for a long time." Concubine Bila smiled, embarrassed, and stroked her belly, saying, "I'm pregnant now, so I came to the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing banquet to share in the joy."

It can also bless her to give birth to a safe, healthy and strong prince. She has the blessing of the Fifth Prince! Born with the care of Khan Ama and the legitimate Ene, she has a respectable position among the dignitaries in the court and the royal family.

Concubine Dong didn't say whether she believed it or not. Concubine Bila was also an adult. She had to bear the price for whatever she wanted to do. How could others say anything more?

This is the boundary between adults.

What's more, they are enemies.

"It's good to get some good fortune," Concubine Dong smiled and continued, with a smile on her face, she sincerely congratulated him and said, "Sister, you are blessed to have a plump and fair prince."

Isn't it for this that Concubine Bila came here today?
Concubine Bila smiled shyly for a long time. Everyone thought she was silent. Then she whispered, "I also think that she will give birth to a royal prince."

When talking about the Crown Prince, Concubine Bila's voice became much softer, almost silent.
