The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 302: No Talk about the Future
A concubine left the banquet, and anyone who could see and hear in all directions would have noticed it. But it was not surprising for concubines to go out for some fresh air.

It's not worth their attention.

But there were also people watching. Concubine Wulianghaijirmote was sitting behind Prince An's third wife. Although she was talking to the concubines on her left and right, it did not prevent her from always paying attention to the movements of the concubine.

It was impossible for her not to be curious about Concubine Nara; after meeting her, she became even more curious. She couldn't help but pay more attention to her.

So she also saw Qin Rou getting up and leaving. However, Wulianghaijiermote concubine only noticed it for a moment, turned back and smiled and talked to the concubines on both sides, and only paid attention to the direction where Concubine Nara left.

Aunt Chen supported Qin Rou and walked away, passed the path, and stopped behind the rockery. The cheerful and soft music from the palace banquet could still be heard behind them.

The noise of the banquet became quieter, and there were no unpleasant people saying unpleasant things in her ears. Qin Rou suddenly felt that the sky was bluer, the water was clearer, and the irritable atmosphere in the air was swept away, and it became fresh instantly.

"After the concubine came out, her face looked much more relaxed." Aunt Chen observed the concubine's expression and said with a smile.

"The noisy voices of people will inevitably make people feel upset when they hear them." There were so many people at the banquet, and there was also the lascivious music. There were also two unpleasant people beside her who kept saying things that made people upset. With Qin Rou's temper, it would be strange if she could tolerate them!
That is to say, Concubine Bila is pregnant, and Qinrou has already taken Concubine Bila's face and health into consideration. She couldn't say anything more unpleasant and even more disrespectful.

"This is just a small scene," Aunt Chen did not try to persuade her, but smiled and said, "There will be many more big scenes that you will experience in the future. There are more lively ones and more solemn ones. After seeing more of them in the future, you will slowly feel that this kind of lively scene is nothing."

The concubine's shortcoming is that she has little experience and is not that rich, and this can only be compensated by time. She will see more in the future. When she looks back in the future and thinks of the little scenes of this year, she will be upset and irritated, and probably will want to laugh!
Aunt Chen didn't try to persuade anyone, she just stated the facts.

Qin Rou smiled and kept silent. She never talked about the future. She couldn't say for sure whether she had a future or not. No matter how beautiful and good the future was, it had nothing to do with her.

In feudal society, there was nothing more unfortunate than entering the palace alone as a low-ranking concubine. Your life and property were in the hands of others. If you were unfortunate enough to have children, the child's life and property were also in the hands of others.

How can it be easy to be imprisoned like this!
But Qin Rou would not feel resentful, because she had chosen this path. If she didn't want to, she would have a thousand ways to get herself eliminated based on the rules during the talent show.

Both of them have to serve men, whether they are wives or concubines, it's the same. Qinrou saw this most clearly from Danzhu. Then, being the wife of an ordinary bannerman is worse than being Kangxi's concubine.

At least, Kangxi was her choice. He was of the right age, and he was also the emperor. He was a gifted man, and he was also a wise ruler in the early days. In Kangxi's harem, she was bound to suffer grievances, but as a woman, she could only serve a man humbly and seek a future and a way out, which was the greatest grievance.

I don't care if there are more grievances on top of this.

Moreover, as a wife or concubine, there is no mansion where you will not be wronged. The only difference is that a wife will be wronged by her mother-in-law, husband, husband's family, and concubines! A concubine will be wronged by her family, husband's mistress, and other concubines.

But in essence, it is impossible to compare which grievance is deeper and which is shallower.

As for her, what does it matter if she is proud? Her husband and her in-laws don't like it, so they say it's humiliating.

Thinking of the Danzhu, the father and daughter had been disgusted with each other for more than ten years. It was quite ridiculous... But Qinrou was used to not complaining. She had jumped out of that pit. From now on, life and death, you and I, will accept our fate.

If she had the chance, she would probably be happy to let the Danzhu fend for itself.

Qin Rou did not answer, and Aunt Chen just laughed it off. She just thought that the concubine was cautious in her actions and did not want to give her any handle through her words.

Judging from past experience, the concubine obviously acts indifferently, but she is extremely cautious. Even the servants in the palace, she protects and uses them wholeheartedly, but she also sets up cordons and guards against them carefully.

Aunt Chen only guessed based on Qinrou's temperament, so she naturally didn't know what she was thinking. That couldn't be said to anyone, otherwise it would inevitably cause many incidents and twists and turns.

And Qinrou hates unnecessary trouble the most.

Aunt Chen was just waiting on the side. She always respected Qinrou and considered her. She carefully suggested, "Concubine, take a rest! Now it's far away, and this place is secluded and not crowded. It's just right for you to take a walk and rest when you are tired of the banquet."

"Okay!" Qin Rou did not ask any further questions, nor did she try to guess what was hidden in Aunt Chen's heart. She just enjoyed her service, accompanied by soft music, the red sun was shining in the sky, the spring breeze was blowing on her face, and there was a little bit of tranquility. It was indeed a good place to go.

Qin Rou didn't know she was 'pregnant' yet. If she heard a few words, she would definitely be so angry that she would want to curse! Who would she curse?
Especially since his imagination is so wild and he can come up with such irrelevant words, how rich his brain circuits must be!

It's even more hateful that he spreads rumors as soon as he opens his mouth.

If she knew further that it was Concubine Bila who deduced it based on those few clues, Qinrou would definitely call her an idiot.

The brain must have been lost in the placenta! Growing up is not easy for a mentally retarded child.

Qinrou simply didn’t know.

Since Qin Rou didn't know, she was not in a hurry to go back. She was located between Concubine Zhang and Concubine Bila. It was an established fact that she was being attacked from both sides. One of them was annoying because of her noisy and annoying behavior, and the other was annoying because of her stupidity. Qin Rou didn't like either of them.

Rather than going back to her seat and suffering the pain of her ears by being sandwiched between the two of them, Qin Rou would rather stay here in the cold wind until the third-day bathing banquet was over.

At least no one was bothering her!
Aunt Chen thoughtfully put a cloak on Qinrou. She had taken it when she was serving Qinrou. Aunt Chen was thoughtful and cautious. If it might be needed, she would take it. As a servant, you need to think ahead of time about what the masters need.

If the master reminds you word by word, then you are not qualified to be a servant.

Besides, Aunt Chen has been through a lot and knows best what the weather is like in spring and what it is like outside. Cloaks have always been indispensable items in spring and autumn.

Aunt Chen knows what the weather is like, and when she serves Qin Rou out, she knows what to prepare?
