The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

The sound was so soft that some people heard it, but some people didn't.

Concubine Dong smiled even more deeply, glanced at Concubine Bila's belly, and whispered, "I also think that this is a royal prince."

Concubine Dong's voice was also soft, as if she was whispering intimately with Concubine Bila. It was as if they were the closest sisters in the world, no one could separate them, and they both cared about each other sincerely.

"You! Take good care of the baby," said Concubine Dong, and then she hurriedly said, "After ten months of pregnancy, give birth to a prince for the emperor. That will be a relief for the emperor and the queen."

Concubine Dong flattered calmly. She knew what kind of words sounded good and what kind of words Concubine Bila liked to hear, so she picked out what kind of words she wanted to hear.

Concubine Dong was not lying. In the emperor's harem, there are only two babies in their cradles, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince. Not to mention that the emperor and the Empress Dowager already favor the eldest prince. Under such circumstances, the emperor, the Empress Dowager and others will only favor the eldest prince even more.

The emperor and the empress are one, so the emperor's urgency is naturally the empress's urgency as well. So it is not unreasonable to say that it is to relieve the emperor and the empress's urgent needs.

The little devil came uninvited, so naturally he had to be sent back. Concubine Dong thought that Concubine Bila was nothing, but she was pregnant, and with the dragon fetus in her belly blocking her way, she had to be a little restrained.

After hearing the kind words, Concubine Bila smiled shyly and dreamily again, and whispered softly, "Then I will go and rest. The most important thing for me now is to take care of the baby. Only when I take good care of the dragon baby in my belly can I count my contribution."

Concubine Dong smiled and said quickly, "Go quickly!" She didn't dare to stay. What would happen if there was something wrong with Concubine Bila's dragon fetus and the blame was put on her?

So to tell you the truth, Concubine Dong really doesn't want to say another word to Concubine Bila. She is such a troublemaker.

With the help of the maidservant beside Concubine Bila, she sat down aside.

The concubines looked at Concubine Bila, then looked at each other. They didn't have Concubine Bila's precious belly, so they didn't dare to sit.

All I can do is watch.

As they continued talking, the topic tacitly turned to today's protagonist, the Fifth Prince, and asked, "Who will be attending the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing banquet today?"

They were all concubines, so they were not always well-informed. For example, when it came to the previous dynasty, they didn't know much about the number of concubines.

"I think most of the ministers will come to the palace!" Concubine Lan hesitated and spoke with her own speculations: "I heard that Prince Yu and his wife will come to the palace to prepare for the Fifth Prince's funeral! And Lord Suo Etu is the Empress' uncle, and the Fifth Prince is also the Empress' son. In fact, Lord Suo Etu is also the Fifth Prince's great-uncle. Especially since Lord Suo Etu is the Emperor's trusted minister."

If one does not recognize the Emperor as his only master, and is willing to risk his life and death for him without hesitation, he cannot be called a trusted minister.

The emperor wanted to hold a third-birthday banquet for the fifth prince, so how could Suo Etu refuse the emperor's face? He must be very supportive.

"I heard that Lord Ebilun and his wife will come in person." The concubines also have their own channels, and the concubine who spoke lived in Yongshou Palace. It is hard not to believe that this was the news released by Concubine Niuhulu and Ebilun themselves.

But because Concubine Eji came from Yongshou Palace, her information was almost absolutely true. At least in this matter, it was almost certain that Ebilun and Heshuo Gege would come to attend the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing banquet. There was no doubt about it!
"Then will the Sixth Princess come too?" Concubine Fei Mo asked reflexively.

The Sixth Princess had recently made an engagement with Suo Etu. The Sixth Princess was raised by Ebilun and his wife since she was a child.

It was reasonable to bring the Sixth Princess to such a solemn banquet, but the most important point was that Suo Etu must also be present.

It was hard not to arouse the curiosity of the concubines when this couple, who were engaged by Emperor Kangxi himself, met.

Of course it’s more fun to watch the fun in person…even if you may not be able to see anything.

This silent question stumped everyone, and everyone turned their eyes to Concubine Eji. Only a few days had passed, but the match made in heaven between the Sixth Princess and Lord Soetu was still in everyone's mind!
Concubine Eji was confused. Concubine Feimo's question not only stumped the other concubines, but also stumped her! Facing the prying eyes of the crowd, Concubine Eji was not confident enough to speak, "This... I don't know either."

She was well-informed enough to know that Lord Ebilun and Heshuo Gege were personally present at the ceremony. Even if she wanted to find out about Sixth Gege's affairs, she couldn't find a place or time to ask for it!

She lived in Yongshou Palace, and was protected by Concubine Niuhulu. Naturally, she was also controlled by Concubine Niuhulu. Naturally, if Concubine Niuhulu needed her to know something, she would definitely pay 120% attention to it, and would listen to it even if she didn't understand.
On the contrary, she didn't dare to inquire about things that Concubine Nianhulu didn't say.

"I know this." Hong Guoqi concubine suddenly spoke. Unfortunately, she did not live in Yongshou Palace, but in Yikun Palace. She was from the upper three banners, not favored, and spoke little. She rarely spoke.

Others always forget that she was born in the Zhengbai Banner and held a high position of power in her family.

Such a short sentence attracted everyone's attention. Qin Rou also looked over. Concubine Hong Guoqi was a pure Manchu. She had a small face, but a plump figure and a tall enough height. She was not ugly.

It was only in the fourth year of Kangxi's reign that she entered the palace. At that time, it was like a fight between gods and immortals, and all the favored concubines did not dare to fight their way out without going through a bloody fight.

If we can postpone it for one or two sessions, maybe a new day will come.

Everyone involuntarily listened attentively to Concubine Hong Guoqi's words, and Concubine Hong Guoqi deliberately kept everyone in suspense, looking around to create enough atmosphere before she spoke softly, "I heard that Lord Ebilun and Heshuo Gege want to bring Sixth Gege to the palace for a walk. After all, now that they are engaged, they will be able to prepare for their marriage at home in peace in a short time."

If you don't take advantage of the right time of engagement to go out and get to know some people, are you expecting your husband's family to introduce you to them one by one in the future?
As for thanking the emperor, the Sixth Princess had already thanked him. The emperor acted as a matchmaker, and unlike others, the day after the imperial decree of marriage was issued, Ebilun and Heshuo Princess brought the Sixth Princess and Lord Soetu into the palace to kneel and thank the emperor for his great grace!
