The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 311 Sacred Heart
Concubine Niuhulu arrived not too late. Perhaps it was because all the concubines came early today. Qinrou was both surprised and not surprised to see Concubine Niuhulu's sedan chair arrive.

Perhaps because it had nothing to do with her, Qin Rou was too lazy to spend the effort. But to be honest, Concubine Niu Hulu was indeed respectful to the Queen in every way and in almost everything.

Qin Rou thought that if she had a family with iron-blooded military achievements like Concubine Niu Hulu to support her, she probably wouldn't be able to be respectful to the queen in every way. People always want to live a better life, not because they have any ideas about the position of queen, but many times, people follow their hearts.

People are not saints. That is why Qin Rou admired the Empress and Concubine Niu Hulu. From a certain perspective, both the Empress and Concubine Niu Hulu were indeed women who were brought up in large families.

The concubines all bowed and greeted each other, and there was a chorus of greetings. Concubine Niuhulu's early arrival made some people feel uneasy. Concubines had their own rules and etiquette for bowing and greeting each other. Even if they looked up, they would still look around. If they were disrespectful to the emperor, it could be fatal.

Therefore, even though they were worried and anxious, the concubines were all respectful and respectful. This was the danger of the superior.

This is Concubine Niuhulu, the only concubine who can confront the Empress and escape unscathed. Behind her is the support of the entire Niuhulu clan and the military merits of the entire Niuhulu clan. As long as Kangxi and the royal family do not want to disappoint these old ministers who have helped them build the country at this time of internal and external troubles, Concubine Niuhulu and the Niuhulu clan will always be "sensible".

For rulers and ministers, the most taboo is "When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooked!" Especially taboo is the blatant "When the birds are gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooked."

Either you do it ruthlessly and leave no way out; or you leave a way for reconciliation. Otherwise, when you are in a desperate situation, everyone will drag you down to hell.

This applies to everyone, and even more so to Kangxi. Concubine Nianhulu's life was a life of glory and honor that none of them could match.

Concubine Niuhulu's expression was the same as always. She looked at everyone with a smile that was neither flattering nor friendly. She slowly said, "Everyone, get up! I am here to pay my respects to the Empress."

After that! Concubine Niuhulu also took her servants to wait aside, as if she was waiting for the Queen to summon her.

In the palace, the queen quickly received the news. The incident happened in the small courtyard in front of the main hall of her Kunning Palace. It was difficult for the queen to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The Queen slightly supported her forehead with her hand and ordered Yuanyan, "Go and ask them to come in!"

There was no need to explain this to them, as they understood each other's meaning. They were naturally the concubines in front of the main hall.

Yuanyan took a few steps back, bowed, and said, "Yes."

The position of Queen was difficult to sit on, especially when there was already a Concubine Nianhulu in the palace who was eyeing it covetously. However, the Grand Empress Dowager had never given up and hoped that there would be a concubine of Mongolian descent holding a high position in the harem.

Although she didn't want the position of queen, but people are always greedy and never know how her desire will expand in the end.

Which is better, a true queen or just a queen in name only? Anyone with a little bit of common sense can make the judgment.

Only a few days after the Second Prince passed away, their mistress personally prepared for the Fifth Prince's birth and carefully arranged the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing ceremony.

A copy of the examples of the princes and princesses was prepared to prevent any accidents from happening and making it too late.

After the Fifth Prince was born, the Emperor wrote down his plan with great fanfare, and the Empress changed many details over the next few days. After the third-day bathing banquet was finally held, that night, Concubine Bila was not feeling well again and had a miscarriage. The Empress rushed to stay with him for half the night.

Although Huanyan was not a house slave, her loyalty was beyond doubt. She felt distressed watching him. At this moment, the concubines in the harem should come to pay their respects. But no matter how distressed she was, paying respects and visiting the emperor every morning and evening were natural laws. If even visiting the emperor every morning and evening and paying respects and paying respects were omitted, where would the danger of the harem be placed?

Those concubines got it for nothing!
Yuanyan walked a few steps, and the queen propped her forehead up and continued to order, "Follow the example of the senior maid, let Nandong take over!"

The Empress lost a senior palace maid in the battle with Concubine Nianhulu, and this precedent has not been filled yet. Whenever there is a vacancy in the palace, just pick a random opportunity, nominate someone, and fill it.

Nan Dong was a second-class maid in Kunning Palace, and it was her turn to step up. Someone had to fill the vacancy, and Huanyan had no objection. Whatever the Queen said was the way it was.

It is said that husband and wife always have some similarities. The queen valued her as a servant, but she would certainly not tolerate the servants interfering too much and having too many opinions in the employment of people.

The queen also avoids collusion between superiors and subordinates, collusion, and deceiving her master.

The Queen only gave this instruction. Huanyan waited for a while, and when the Queen gave no more instructions, she left the room. So that she could pass on the Queen's order!
In just one or two sentences, someone has climbed up the ladder to the sky. Perhaps, he can soar straight up, but not necessarily?
Huanyan instructed the servants to open the door of the main hall of Kunning Palace. So on a new day, the door of the majestic and luxurious main hall of Kunning Palace was slowly opened to the concubines in the harem under the order of its owner, the queen.

A new day begins.

Yuanyan bowed, and then Concubine Niuhulu walked slowly to the gate. The concubines followed Concubine Niuhulu into the main hall.

The Empress also came out of the warm room very quickly. Everyone bowed first. The Empress and Concubine Niuhulu sat down, and the concubines stood. Concubine Niuhulu observed for a while. She usually didn't speak much, but she said carefully and attentively: "The Empress has worked hard. I can see that there is still a trace of fatigue between the Empress's eyebrows."

The Queen was also happy to stage a drama of you and I getting along. She subconsciously stroked her forehead and sighed, "How can I not be worried! Yesterday was a great wedding day, but something like this happened in the evening. The joy of the Fifth Prince's third birthday hasn't even passed yet, and Concubine Bila has had a miscarriage. How can I sleep peacefully and not be worried?"

Naturally, I couldn't sleep well.

The miscarriage of concubine Bila was a minor matter. The Queen's words might be enough to deceive others, but it was not enough to deceive Concubine Niuhulu, a noble concubine who had lived in the palace for many years. The main thing was that the Emperor would not pursue the matter, so how big a matter could it be.

The imperial physician is there to vouch for her! Concubine Bila is restless, so the empress has specially granted her to stay in Xianfu Palace to rest and have a baby. She has also asked Concubines Dong and Zhang, who have experience in childbirth, to accompany her from time to time and take care of her.

Concubine Bila went to the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing party when she was less than three months pregnant. Who can she blame? In the end, she herself should bear a great deal of responsibility.

Besides, the emperor has no intention of pursuing the matter.

But although Niu Hulu knew this clearly, he would not say it out loud. Would he let the world see the emperor's ruthlessness? As an emperor, one must always be honest about the fact that he has let down some people.

Concubine Nianhulu knew it very well, so she would not delve into it too much. Asking the emperor to go against his will and hold the queen accountable?
If you offend the emperor, it will backfire on you.

Concubine Nianhulu wouldn't do that.

This is the Sacred Heart! What everyone wants.
