The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Concubine Dong returned to normal in a short while! People like them are best at self-adjustment. If they can't let themselves go, they will eventually die in depression.

Concubine Dong looked to the left and glanced at Qin Rou, who was indifferent again. Concubine Dong smiled. It was better to be indifferent, than to be considerate and take advantage of someone's misfortune.

But she did not try to talk to Concubine Nara anymore. When she turned her head, she accidentally caught sight of the Eighteenth Prince and the Nineteenth Princess. If her Second Princess, like the Nineteenth Princess, had a twin prince to accompany her, she wondered if she would be liked more by the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager?

The thought was quickly dispelled. It was an established fact, and there was no point in dwelling on it. It was unchangeable, and Concubine Dong would not cling to such an unchangeable fact.

The process was almost unchanged, and I don't know how many times it had been experienced. The only thing that changed was the people who attended the banquet each time. However, different people had almost the same appearance, so Concubine Dong just smiled and watched the process slowly pass by.

No one came to talk to her, and Qin Rou was left alone. This was the first time Qin Rou had seen such a big third-day bathing ceremony, but whether it was the first time or not didn't matter much, and it had nothing to do with her anyway.

When the bathing ceremony was officially over, everyone's eyes fell on the Fifth Prince who was in the center and had not yet cried. The Queen leaned over and said to Kangxi with a smile: "Your Majesty, look, the Fifth Prince is even sipped his lips. He is really brave and has the bearing of our royal family."

The Qing Dynasty relied on military force to establish itself in the world, and there was no shortage of brave and majestic ancestors in history. For any man, being called Baturu is a great compliment.

"Foolish and bold." Kangxi was much more relaxed and commented happily. Although the words did not sound good, but this sentence, which happened between the father and son who were intertwined with family affection and interests, added a bit of intimacy.

Emperor and father, emperor and father! The emperor is in front, the father is behind; a word can determine life and death, a joy can decide the country. Endless power, overwhelming power, supreme majesty, are all in the emperor's joy and happiness. From this, we can see how rare the emperor's father-son relationship is.

It is enough to make many people look at it differently.

The Empress Dowager also glanced at the Fifth Prince in the center, and said something in a mysterious manner, and then she started with a bomb: "I remember that the Emperor was also a little kid like this, and he grew up slowly."

The Empress Dowager went through three dynasties and supported two generations of emperors to ascend the throne. During this period, she participated in many open and secret struggles in the court. As the Empress Dowager who trained two generations of emperors, her every move was under the watchful eyes of the public. Even an ordinary sentence was enough to imply deep meaning and make people think about it.

Especially such a seemingly true but not true statement, it was enough to grab people's hearts. Many people's eyes widened immediately, and they couldn't help but look at the five elder brothers who were only three days old. The Empress Dowager! Was she just saying it casually?

The son takes after the father. Does the Fifth Prince really resemble the Emperor? As the person who has watched the Emperor grow up in the harem, the Empress Dowager undoubtedly has the most say on this.

Especially as the Empress Dowager who was in a high position of power, Zhao Gao was still able to call a deer a horse.

The Empress Dowager who had lived through three dynasties said that the Fifth Prince resembled the emperor, the son of a phoenix and the grandson of a dragon. Even if he didn't look like him, since he said it, it was a clear statement in the imperial edict and was set in stone.

A resemblance is nothing! But the deep meaning behind this sentence is of great significance. Li Tai, the son of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, was intelligent by nature. Emperor Taizong often said that this son resembled his father.

With Emperor Taizong's words, Li Tai was qualified to compete with Crown Prince Li Chengqian for the throne and shake the country. There are many princes in similar situations in history.

From this, we can see how great the power implied in this sentence of Xiao's father is.

Because not only does the son resemble his father in appearance and temperament, it also means whether he has the possibility of ascending the throne and prolonging the country's prosperity like his father.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the relatives, ministers and wives of the emperor would be emotionally upset. It can be seen that power is indeed a good thing! Some people care, and some people don't. Ebilun has been one of the four great ministers for many years and knows that things are unpredictable. Before this year has passed, the ending has been determined, and no one can predict the final result.

Just like the current emperor, who could have thought that he would eventually ascend the throne and rule the world. Ebilun is used to the unpredictable world!

But he is just a little kid, no matter how much he is valued, it is all in vain. Only when he grows up, enters the court, and fights for power, will he be qualified to dream of the throne.

However, given the current situation in the palace, it is difficult! Ebilun sighed, knowing it very well.

Suo Etu did not take it too seriously. He was a prince, still a baby in swaddling clothes, who knows, he might catch a cold one day and be killed. Even if the queen agreed with the emperor and praised him, so what!
Even if he wanted to compete for the next throne, he had to wait until he actually entered school, only then would he be qualified to be seen by the officials inside and outside the court.

To be honest, any minister with a deep mind would not take such a compliment too seriously. However, not taking it too seriously does not mean not taking it seriously. Although Li Tai was not a good person and did not ascend to the throne in the end, he did drag down the crown prince Cheng Qian.

From then on, the history of the Tang Dynasty took a turn, and the throne was taken by someone else. When the time came, it was too late to prepare.

Kangxi moved his gaze to the center, to the face of the Fifth Prince, and after hearing what he said, he replied to the Imperial Madam's words, "As the saying goes: A pupil surpasses his father. I hope that when he grows up, his talent, martial arts, and civil administration will surpass that of his father."

Kangxi was in his prime, and when he first ascended the throne, he was determined to be a wise ruler. Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in wars. It can be said that Kangxi relied a lot on his uncles and brothers. At this moment, he was like a parent in the world, hoping that his children could surpass their fathers.

Become an imperial prince who is better than his father and even all the ancestors.

Kangxi grew up in an unstable environment, surrounded by powerful enemies. As an emperor, Kangxi was educated in the wolf spirit. Protecting the country and dealing with people with ulterior motives were all heavy pressures on Kangxi.

As an emperor and the ruler of the Aisin-Gioro generation, Kangxi was in urgent need of talents, especially those of the same blood and clan, to help him conquer the world and remove obstacles.

The same blood relationship makes it easier for them to have the same goals and trust each other.

The emperor's words were half sincere and half threats. The Aixinjueluo clan's kingdom was now in his hands. Even if something unexpected happened to him, he would still have an heir.

Even if the country is in turmoil, he, as the emperor, will make arrangements!

It was not the turn of the previous dynasty to make everyone depressed and panic-stricken, causing unrest in the court.

This was also the original purpose of Kangxi holding this third-day bath banquet.

All dissenting thoughts, existing or non-existent, were taken back by Him.
