The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 310 Gossip
"Sister Li, you're here so early too!" Concubine Dong and Concubine Li were close to each other. When Concubine Dong saw someone, she took the initiative to greet her in a friendly manner.

"Since there is nothing to do sitting in the palace, it is better to come to the Queen's palace early to pay respects to the Queen. It is also a good thing that the sisters in the harem will come to pay respects earlier today. After arriving, I can chat with the sisters, and I won't feel sleepy sitting in the Qixiang Palace alone." Concubine Li said the truth. She raised her eyes and looked at the concubines standing in front of the main hall of Kunning Palace.

They were all smiling and laughing, and graceful and elegant; but in the second half of the night yesterday, they all stayed together in Xianfu Palace for half the night, and returned to the palace at dawn today. Before they even had time to sit down, they all rushed to Kunning Palace. They were really in sync with each other, right?
Otherwise, how can it be said that those who can live together are all the same kind of people?
Concubine Li smiled brightly, glanced at Concubine Dong, and asked jokingly, "Sister Dong, aren't you the same?"

And you said she came early? Concubine Dong was no less impressive! These concubines in the emperor's harem were much more in tune with each other at certain times.

Concubine Dong suddenly smiled. She was also a little beauty. She also replied, "Just as you said, I watched over Sister Bila for a long time yesterday. I am also feeling sleepy sitting in the bedroom. It would be better for me to come and pay my respects to the Queen earlier. I think the sisters will arrive earlier and we can chat together."

The timing was really unfortunate. If I went straight from Xianfu Palace to pay my respects to the Empress, it would be too early. How much more than an hour? The Empress and Concubine Niuhulu also stayed in Xianfu Palace for half a night. Could it be that the Empress didn't want to touch up her makeup or worry about her private matters?

Besides, they all had to go back for breakfast. The palace had fixed food, fixed money, and even fixed breakfast and dinner times. If they were late, they would go hungry!
As for dining in Kunning Palace? Who would dare to have such an idea? They knew their own limitations and would never dare to think of such a disrespectful thing. If someone said it, they would be frightened to the point of weakness.

Most of the concubines were like this. They were not timid, but they were not very brave either. In front of the queen, they were trembling with fear, not seeking great blessings, but only hoping that great disasters would not come.

Therefore, it would definitely be inappropriate to follow the Empress Dowager to Kunning Palace alone.

They had to go back to their respective palaces.

However, more than an hour is not a long time. After going back to have a meal, I will definitely not get enough sleep. I can only touch up my makeup. It would be better for me to come to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects earlier.

It's just right, there are so many people in the palace, and we can chat with each other, maybe I can get rid of my sleepiness.

"It seems that we all think alike." Concubine Ma Jia looked at Concubines Dong and Li as they spoke, and she had to admit that there is a magnetic field between people.

Concubine Ma Jia was contented. The prince under her lap and the favor she received were not comparable to those enjoyed by ordinary people. People's eyes have always only seen those who are on the same level as themselves.

In the eyes of Concubine Ma Jia, there are more than 30 concubines in the palace, but only those who can pose a threat to her are in her eyes.

The rest of the concubines and others just saw and said something. They were not worth her attention.

She also has the capital and confidence to be proud. It cannot be said that she is right or wrong. It is just everyone's lifestyle.

Concubine Ma Jia then turned her gaze to Qin Rou. Her every frown and smile was full of the charm of a beauty, just like the most ordinary laughter between sisters. "But Concubine Nara used to come to Kunning Palace early to pay her respects, but now, she has been made the last one to arrive by us."

Qin Rou was indeed the last one to arrive at Kunning Palace today. From the moment she stepped into Kunning Palace, all the concubines in Kangxi's harem had gathered in front of the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Qin Rou just smiled and didn't respond. It's not a big deal to be late once in a while, especially today, everyone was early.

Don't say a word, keep silent. If you stand out, you will attract attention.

This was indeed the case, and it was irrefutable. Could it be that she had to tell more than 30 concubines that she served Emperor Kangxi? This was a tacit fact in the harem, and she did not need to mention it repeatedly or emphasize it.

"That's right." Tamu noticed that the concubine was also eager to join the conversation, and he also joked with a smile: "Since I entered the palace with Concubine Nara, Concubine Nara has been here every day regardless of rain or shine, especially in the cold winter months! Every day, she comes to pay her respects to the Empress a few minutes earlier than others. Today, it is a rare exception."

Concubine Li and Concubine Dong both smiled and said nothing. Why should people in the palace keep silent? Because everyone has a temper. If you don't know which words are wrong, you will make others unhappy. It will cause disasters such as killing yourself and destroying your family. Therefore, when you say something or do something, you must judge the situation and don't overestimate your ability.

But there are often such people at this time, just jump! There, like a grasshopper in autumn, can't jump anymore, that will be the popular ending.

Irgen Jueluo concubine and Tamu noticed that the concubine had a grudge, and she was not a saint, but she was just patient for the time being. Now that the time has come, is she going to continue to pretend to be stupid and deaf?
No, Irgen Jueluo concubine replied quietly in her heart. If no one replied to her, she would beg herself.

Concubine Irgen Juelu is not a stupid woman. There are so many beauties in the palace, and the emperor's heart is only a small piece. If others occupy it, others with ill intentions will not be able to squeeze in.

Irgen Juelu's concubine seized on the fact that Tamu realized that concubines were just a temporary novelty, had passed their prime and would not amount to anything. She also pointed out the fact that concubine Nara arrived late, with obvious and subtle sarcasm.

Concubine Irgen Jueluo knew almost instantly that this was an opportunity. She said, "Who doesn't know that Concubine Nala serves the emperor? It seems that the emperor went to court, so Concubine Nala hurried over. It's not even time to pay respects yet? Are you going to leave the emperor aside and not serve him? When it's your turn to serve, you can do it!"

In the palace, the emperor's happiness was naturally the most important thing. Serving the emperor well or paying respects to him, which was more important? No one needed to remind them, and they knew which was more important!
However, Tamu realized that the concubine could hardly get up. She had to wait for this day.

What if she took something that didn't belong to her? She just watched helplessly as her love slipped away from her hands.

The other concubines remained silent!

Don't hit a smiling person, and harmony brings wealth. The main reason is that the concubines in the palace are all smart people; moreover, they all have the same hypocrisy, and they know the importance of being friendly to each other.

At most, they just openly turn a blind eye!
