The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 301 Suspicion
Qin Rou stood up, and Aunt Chen also quickly stood up and helped her out.

Concubine Bila's face was not very good. Although she didn't mention any names, she didn't give any face at all! Concubine Zhang still smiled. She also carefully warned, "Concubine Nala, be careful."

Concubine Zhang was a little stupid. She didn't understand what Qinrou said at all. She attacked both her and Concubine Bila with just one sentence. Concubine Zhang had her own logic.

Even if she did have some ill intentions, she really couldn't stand the way Concubine Bila acted. The heir to the throne hadn't even been born yet, and she hadn't even taken the baby yet? She was showing off at such a grand banquet.
But she really spoke out to protect Concubine Nara? Concubine Nara was cold and arrogant, and difficult to get along with, but she should be able to distinguish between gratitude and hatred!
So she didn't think that Qin Rou's words "too lively" implied "too noisy". If she couldn't afford to offend, couldn't she just hide away? Going out to avoid it also implied that she was being attacked.

She simply thought that it was directed at Bila, so she could still laugh.

Unfortunately, Qinrou really meant it with a double meaning, and her words were directed at the two concubines, Bila and Zhang;

Is she the kind of person who knows how to remember favors? No! Especially favors that were done with ill intentions and used her as a scapegoat. Qinrou hated Zhang and Bila, the two concubines who disturbed her peace, in the same way.

no difference!

Concubine Zhang is stupid and takes things for granted.

Concubine Bila's face looked really unhappy. She didn't expect that Nara would really be so disrespectful to her. Was she bullying her because she was not favored?
Thinking that she was still pregnant with the emperor's heir, Concubine Nara should at least give her some face. The baby in her belly was a dragon seed. Concubine Bila stroked her belly, which had not yet risen or fallen, and knew it was the emperor's heir.

How could Concubine Nara not care about it at all? Concubine Bila was angry and aggrieved. She swallowed this bitterness and remembered this grudge.

Concubine Bila saw that Nara was Aunt Chen beside her, which was proof that the emperor favored Nara and favored Chengqian Palace Zhenshunzhai, so she waited attentively and carefully for Nara to leave...

After she became pregnant, the servants specially assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs served her so carefully. Concubine Bila was shocked! She recalled that thought again. After she became pregnant, the maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs served her so carefully, cautiously and prudently?

Could it be that Nala is pregnant? Concubine Bila suddenly had such a thought. Aunt Chen, who had been placed in Zhenshunzhai a long time ago, had never appeared at such a banquet before! And Aunt Chen, a servant appointed by the emperor, was specially serving so carefully...

During her pregnancy, she had experienced all the tempers of the servants in the Imperial Household Department! She knew how they served the concubines who were pregnant.

Concubine Bila was panicked for a moment. No, it couldn't happen. If Concubine Nala had an heir, then given the emperor's favor to her, and loving her as well, there would be no chance for the little prince in her belly.

There is a difference between an heir to the throne and an heir to the throne. A mother is honored by her son, and a son is honored by his mother.

Concubine Bila tried to hold the white porcelain teacup with trembling hands, but she couldn't hold it. She looked straight ahead, as if she wanted to see through the thin and fragile back that was going away.

Almost instantly, the nanny beside Concubine Bila noticed her misconduct and couldn't help but frown in her heart. They also served a lot of pregnant concubines in the palace.

They had served concubines like Bila, who wanted to show off but was too timid to show up. She was not capable of making things difficult for others, but she was often irritated by her own pettiness. If a pregnant woman's mood fluctuated too much, it might harm the fetus. Especially since Bila's own dragon fetus was not as stable as people imagined.

Thinking of this, the maidservant at the side was unusually calm. Her hands were respectful and gentle. She took the teacup from Concubine Bila's hand without any abnormality, and gently reminded her, "Concubine, this is the third-day bath for the prince, in front of the noble ministers and wives of the emperor. Think about the emperor and the empress, and don't lose the face of the royal family."

The Emperor and Empress are in poor health, and there may not be a good future for them. The children will also be affected by their mothers; the heirs of the royal family are precious, but not precious!
They are all relative to people.

Concubine Bila let go of her hand. From a distance, it looked as if the nanny beside Concubine Bila had received instructions from her master and took the teacup from her master's hand.

No strange color.

Concubine Bila couldn't help but look in the direction where Qinrou went. When she turned around, she saw the good look on Zhang's face. Thinking about the news that Concubine Nala might be pregnant, she felt even more confused.

Concubine Bila couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Concubine Zhang is a good person." Concubine Zhang had never been praised by the emperor or the queen, so she said this with some irony. Bila thought about her own thoughts and continued, "I didn't know that concubines have the nature of being crow-mouthed. Whatever you say comes true, it must be that Concubine Nara is already pregnant like me, as you said."

The Han people regarded crows as ominous, but in the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, crows were messengers of gods and auspicious birds. This was because in his early years, Emperor Taizu Nurhaci once suffered a fatal injury, which was saved by a crow.

As the founder of the Qing court, Nurhaci's life and death were related to the survival of the Qing dynasty. Therefore, the crow was immediately regarded as a sacred object by the Qing court and the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, and was called a bird of luck.

For this reason, in the Qing court and the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, the crow's mouth is naturally a symbol of good luck.

Although Concubine Bila was annoyed, the words she blurted out were able to stand up to scrutiny and cope with the current situation.

Although Concubine Zhang was indeed stupid, corrupt, and not very clear-headed, she was not a brainless person who would explode at any moment. Didn't she believe everything others said?

Of course it's impossible. Concubine Zhang is not so stupid that she doesn't have any thoughts of her own. She is just a puppet portrayed by others. Otherwise, even if she had a princess, she would have been reduced to nothing but bones and buried in the earth.

"Is Concubine Bila just imagining things?" Concubine Zhang didn't believe it at all. Unless Bila showed evidence, she would be half-believing and half-doubting. Zhang said, "It's impossible. It's only been a short time. Concubine Nara is still recovering from her illness?"

It is not easy for a concubine to get pregnant and have a child. Moreover, Concubine Zhang suspected that Concubine Bila had been completely harmed by the medicine, otherwise why there was no good news after entering the palace for such a long time.

But perhaps the emperor and the imperial doctors have not said it clearly. Didn't you see that Aunt Chen is still serving Nara? Aunt Chen also has a skill to help women recuperate.

The time is not short. Therefore, Concubine Zhang did not believe that Concubine Nara was suddenly pregnant.

"Oh!" Concubine Bila kept silent. If she said anything more to Concubine Zhang, she would just have to wait for Concubine Nala to reveal that she was pregnant!
Seeing her like this, Concubine Zhang became a little suspicious.
