The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 315 Proposal
Qin Rou looked up at the sky and calmly returned to Zhen Shun Zhai. She had a question in her mind: Did Bila really feel unwell in the first half of the night?
Then why is there no movement at all? What if she is pregnant with the royal heir? Everything is planned for the royal heir, so even if there are mistakes, it is understandable.

Now it's all right, the precious gold in my belly is gone, as the saying goes, if you don't use your rights, they will expire! Even if you want to use them again, there is no chance. It's too late!
But Qinrou was skeptical about the statement that "Bila Concubine had felt unwell in the first half of the night". Bila Concubine was hiding it on purpose. Could it be that all the servants around her were dead? Especially the servants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Bila's side. Could they just watch Bila Concubine abuse the heir to the throne?

To put it bluntly but honestly, the royal heir in Concubine Bila's belly is much more important than Concubine Bila, who is already an adult.

But there is no smoke without fire, but there are also unreasonable ones. The bizarre speculations in the palace can be spread out by walking around the palace. It is not surprising that some outrageous and weird things will be spread.

But, if she didn't have the ability to overturn the world, Bila would have been ruined.

In this palace, there are always regrets of one kind or another.

Qinrou returned to the palace with the Queen's reward. Aunt Chen also saw Qinrou going out and bringing back the silk cloth, but Qinrou had no other thoughts except going to Kunning Palace.

Aunt Chen glanced at the cloth in Xiaoman's arms and said with a smile, "How come the concubine went to pay respects and brought back cloth? It's a reward from the Empress."

Aunt Chen was very happy, thinking to herself: I will have a long time to live under the Queen's hand in the future. I should show some respect to the Queen, and naturally show my joy at the Queen's reward...

Qin Rou turned her head slightly and glanced at the cloth Xiao Man was holding. Then she turned her head back and smiled faintly, saying, "It is a reward from the Queen."

"It's rare for the Queen to give a reward," Qin Rou said. Aunt Chen's eyes lit up and the smile in her eyes deepened. She said to the concubine, "In the whole palace, the Queen will only give rewards during festivals and when the concubines are rewarded for their merits as a reward."

Under normal circumstances, except for festivals, the empress rarely gave rewards to others.

Therefore, it is impossible to tell who the queen favors!
Of course, if the queen really wanted to take care of someone, she would do it quietly and without leaving any trace. Even if she did take care of someone, others might not be able to notice it.

Aunt Chen took the material and touched it lightly. "Since the Empress has rewarded the concubine, it means that the concubine has done a great job." Aunt Chen decided it concisely. After all, it was not a festival, and the Empress had specially given it, so it must be a reward.

Since it is a reward, no matter what, it always represents the master's satisfaction with the servant.

"That's right." Xiao Man glanced at the concubine's expression and saw that she didn't look strange. Then she happily replied to Aunt Chen, "The Empress has ordered that the concubine has served the Emperor hard, so she gave this as a reward."

If there is no hard work, then it is based on merit. Xiaoman knew that it was because all the concubines in the palace had to come to the Queen Mother for rewards this morning, but they were sympathetic to their hard work guarding Xianfu Palace yesterday;

Since the concubine did not go, the Empress Dowager changed the name and gave the concubine a reward on the grounds of "hard work in serving the Emperor".

The superiors can only reward her. Perhaps the Empress also wanted to punish her. Even if she favored her a lot, she was just a concubine. The Empress could reward or punish her as she pleased.
Secondly, the Empress also wanted to please the Emperor. She was a concubine favored by the Emperor, so the Empress did not mind making a face to please the Emperor. The Empress always did this. There were so many favored concubines in the harem, and no one could be favored for long. One day, at a certain time, or with a certain word, the Emperor might not like her anymore. ——Are there not many examples like this?
This is also telling the world that this is the demeanor of the Empress of the Central Palace and the legitimate wife. This is also the gentleness and generosity of the Empress!
Aunt Chen understood very well that when the concubines in the harem stood like a giant peak and everyone in the world could only look up to them, then everything she did was reasonable.

Putting aside other things, the queen appears to be good-tempered on the surface.

Thinking of this, Aunt Chen touched the material. She had served in the palace for a long time and was experienced and capable. She knew a lot of things, especially the material of clothes. With just a light touch, Aunt Chen could tell the quality and material of the material and could explain everything.

Aunt Chen touched it, smiled, and then turned her head away. She smiled and said to the concubine, "This is the best cotton silk cloth. It is the softest material and will not hurt your body or skin. It is also the best choice for making clothes."

After taking a closer look, Aunt Chen continued to suggest, "The Queen's grace is great, and the color is the best for the concubine, making her look fair-skinned and pretty. I wonder if we can ask the embroiderer to make a dress for her, and she will look beautiful in it."

The Queen Mother specially gave her a reward, and although it was placed in the storehouse and was examined three times a day, I am afraid it would not suit the Queen's taste. If the Queen Mother wanted to harm a concubine, she would have many ways to do so. Even if she wanted to harm someone, she would not be stupid enough to tamper with her own reward.

It would be better to cut out a set of clothes, which would both show respect to the Queen and imply the duties of a concubine.

The color and material are not bad, any piece of clothing is made. It is better to coax the queen to be happy, saying that the concubines are innocent, or they are respectful to the queen, at least they will not give others a handle.

Qin Rou was too lazy to think about it. The materials coming out of the Queen's Palace were not of particularly bad quality. Normally, such materials in the Queen's Palace were rewarded to the senior palace maids to make clothes.

Therefore, it is not a lie to say that the palace maids and servants around the Empress and Concubine Nianhulu had a much better life than the unfavored concubines.

But Qinrou didn't care. Clothes were made to be worn by people. It was enough to only pursue whether they looked good, novel, and comfortable to wear. It didn't have to be very expensive.

Qin Rou glanced at Aunt Chen and decided without hesitation, "Then listen to Aunt Chen and send her over to have a set of clothes made."

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "That's perfect. It's mid-spring now, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. You can buy some spring clothes as well as some summer clothes for tomorrow. I can just send them over at the same time. Just buy some thin spring clothes!"

Since you want to make your stance clear, you might as well do it thoroughly. Get the embroiderer kicked out, and the concubine can take over at any time. You have to strike while the iron is hot, and let everyone see it.

Qinrou thought that no woman could resist the temptation of new clothes; just like no woman could resist the temptation of new jewelry.

"Okay!" Qin Rou said, "The sun is gradually coming out, so put on something thinner. It's too thick and it's hot to wear."
