The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 292: Being alive is a skill in itself!
Qin Rou thought that Concubine Wuliang Haijiermote knew a lot.

Dare to say anything!

Perhaps it was because of her Mongolian origin that she could be without favor or children, but she could never be treated unfairly. This was probably the tacit understanding between the masters of each family and their wives.

"A mother's status is determined by her son. The royal heir in the palace has always been precious. When a woman becomes pregnant with a royal heir, the servants have no choice but to serve her with their heads held high." Concubine Li looked calm as she chatted casually with Concubine Wulianghaijirmote.

It seems like they have a good relationship? Qin Rou speculated. A concubine of the Han army flag and a concubine of the Li'an prince's mansion of the Mongolian army flag, they rarely see each other in normal times. If they are really so familiar with each other, it would be really intriguing!

Qinrou thought silently.

But that has nothing to do with Qinrou, they are doing their own thing, Qinrou doesn't care. No matter who is here, they are not her friends. So!
She was just listening to some ordinary gossip and there was nothing to worry about.

Wulianghaijiermote's concubine nodded in understanding, "Yes, the royal heirs in the palace are always precious." Wulianghaijiermote's concubine said, "Not to mention the ones in your palace, even the ones in our mansion are also very precious."

If their prince had not had so few children, and if his wife had not had so many children, she would not have been able to establish so many princes.

His authority in the palace would not be as unshakable as it is now.

Offspring are the token of passage! This sentence is universal among the poor and the nobles.

Nowadays, almost all the princes living in the mansion are the wife's children, so the wife can make the final decision in the mansion.

Therefore, when talking about offspring, Concubine Wulianghaijiermote only thought that the situation in the palace was similar to that in Prince An's Mansion.

Concubine Li did not say anything. Whenever the topic involved the Emperor's prince, one had to be cautious at all times.

So I just smiled.

Wulianghaijiermote's concubine also smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this." She had no children, Li Shufei had no children, and Nara Shufei next to her also had no children. Why did a few people without children get together and talk about children? Was it to poke at her heart?

Even if she didn't care, Concubine Li might not care, and Concubine Nara, the new favorite, might not care either.

At her age, she no longer has any illusions about doting on her children.

Concubine Wulianghaijiermote is already nearly thirty years old. In this world, she is already middle-aged and can no longer be expected to have a good marriage.

She turned her head and glanced at Qin Rou and Li Shufei, and suddenly thought of something, and quickly shared the news with them, "Oh, by the way, you probably don't know that our wife's twins, the prince and the princess, also came to the palace today. But our prince dotes on them, so he specially brought them to the front court, and they didn't come to the harem with our wife."

Qinrou pricked up her ears. Did she enter the palace? Why didn't she see him? And she wasn't with Prince An's third wife! Could she be in Kunning Palace, being served by servants?

When it comes to gossip, it would be a waste not to listen. Qin Rou also listened attentively.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li came closer and asked, "The eighteenth prince and the nineteenth princess? I remember they are two years old. They are a little older now, so we can bring them to the palace to play. They are the first pair of twins since the founding of the Qing Dynasty."

At that time, people believed that children had pure souls, and that because of their young age, their souls were easily unstable, and they were prone to premature death and being taken away by the King of Hell. Therefore, they would deliberately use their virtual age as their real age, and also use this to deceive the King of Hell, telling him that the child was no longer young and too old to come and take his soul.

To bless the child to grow up safely.

Therefore, although the twin boy and girl in Prince An's mansion were only one year and two months old, people at that time said that they were already two years old.

"That's right." Wulianghaijiermote's concubine nodded and said, "Eighteenth Prince and Nineteenth Princess are not only loved by our prince and his wife, but also by the concubines of all families and mansions. If they are taken away, they will be loved and cherished by everyone."

Wulianghaijiermote concubine didn't know whether she cared or not, and said: "Since I entered the palace, I have never seen our prince love the princes and princesses in the palace so much."

Even the twelfth prince she gave birth to did not have such an honor. Was it unfair? How could it be unfair?

He even brought it to the front court! Wulianghaijiermote's concubine also understood and figured out that this man's heart was born biased.

Wherever others are, there is your heart.

You can't demand a man's favor, nor can you demand that he favor someone.

Twins! Such a good omen, no one would dislike it.

The rewards in the palace are all a few points higher! Wulianghaijiermote's concubine said: "Let's not talk about our prince and his wife, just talk about the emperor and the empress dowager in the palace, who wouldn't like it?"

This affection was based on the fact that the Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Princess were from Prince An's Mansion, and also on the auspicious sign that they were dragon and phoenix twins.

"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager have been thinking about it for a long time. Finally, the Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Princess are two years old, and the weather is rare and good. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager specially asked our prince and his wife to bring the Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Prince into the palace to have a good look at them." Concubine Wulianghaijiermote explained the reason.

"I remember that when the Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Princess were just born, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were very happy. The rewards from the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress were all much more generous." Concubine Li also said.

The Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Princess were twins, so it was not strange for them to enter the palace. Their father was Prince An, and their mother was Prince An's legitimate wife, and the Queen's aunt.

It was normal for them to have such an honor to enter the palace. I don't know if Wulianghaijiermote's concubine just mentioned it casually.

Or maybe it came too suddenly, so Concubine Wulianghaijiermote mentioned it specifically.

Upon hearing this, Wulianghaijiermote's concubine just smiled and said, "A dragon and phoenix twin fetus is an auspicious omen. Who wouldn't value it a little bit?"

Who told me that I couldn't give birth to twins? Wulianghaijiermote's concubine didn't seem to care much and said it casually.

Concubine Li also smiled. Although Concubine Wulianghaijiermote seemed to be very tight-lipped, she was indeed not a stupid person and should not be underestimated!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be one of the four concubines in Prince An's mansion now.

Manchu-Mongolian marriage is a national policy! We should treat the Mongolian-born concubines well, but if we say that we should just put them on the Buddha statue and worship them, that is impossible.

Can't we just treat her well, or can we just let her die quietly?
So, just like in the palace, it is the same in every family and mansion, being alive is a skill in itself!
