The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 324 Not Real
The queen smiled gently, without any sign of annoyance on her face, but rather looked even gentler. Nianhulu was certain to suffer a loss.

She knew very well that one should not pursue a desperate enemy, and at this time and place, under these circumstances, it would be unreasonable for her to target Concubine Nianhulu; and the Queen would not kill her all.

The queen smiled and said, "It's not too late." She glanced at the nanmu chair at her lower left, which looked like a close sister, motionless but generously asserting her sovereignty, "Hurry and sit down!"

A concubine is a concubine, and an empress is an empress! No matter how honorable the position of a concubine is, the only mother of the country recognized by the world and in the palace is the empress.

No matter how unhappy Niuhulu was, she still had to bow and greet her when she met her.

Concubine Nianhulu was also helped to sit down by the servants, neither hurried nor slow. In the harem and the queen's palace, there were always fixed times for morning and evening visits.

Although they never said it, they understood each other tacitly.

This time, the Queen inadvertently brought up the time for the Chen Province, catching everyone off guard. It also broke the tacit understanding that had been in the palace since she came!

But Concubine Niuhulu knew that she could not blame anyone. The queen had always been virtuous, kind, and virtuous. She was a role model for women all over the world and was kind to her people.

It is true that Concubine Bila is a concubine in the palace, and she is also a citizen of the Qing Dynasty. She just had a miscarriage and came here with her frail body. According to the Queen's temperament, it is understandable that she took advantage of the situation and started the greetings early.

It's just going with the flow! Opportunities that come to you, letting them go, and getting the most benefits are all common methods used by wives of the house.

Concubine Niuhulu was deeply influenced by this, so she understood this truth. If she and the queen were in the same position, she would be able to take advantage of the situation and act accordingly.

The queen has a natural position that suppresses all the concubines in the harem, and she is separated from everyone in the harem by a world of difference.

It doesn't matter whether the queen arrives early or not, no one else cares! Because she is the queen, everything she does is her duty, even some minor flaws are also her duty.

But if the Queen arrives and you haven't, that's a big deal. Others won't care about your reasons, they will only remember your disrespect for the Queen.

Concubine Nianhulu was bound to suffer such a loss.

But! Concubine Niuhulu sighed in her heart. She was born in the Niuhulu clan and has always been respectful to the emperor. If she was disrespectful to him occasionally, then she should be disrespectful!
Concubine Niuhuru and the Niuhuru clan were so arrogant.

Princess Niuhuru had a dignified demeanor. She was raised by the Niuhuru family as a person in a high position. What she was best at dealing with was trouble, but what she was least afraid of was also trouble.

Therefore, it is her nature and instinct to stay calm and not panic, and to find strategies to deal with the chaos.

Concubine Niuhulu sat down and said, "I am ignorant. Concubine Bila recovered in just two days."

What a sharp eye she has! Even though she may not be sitting down, she has already noticed the weak concubine Bila in front of her from the corner of her eye. Concubine Niuhulu doesn't even bother to mention her, but unfortunately, the queen has used her as a raft. Such a big person, standing here, Concubine Niuhulu can't just ignore it!
After all, she was born with a pair of bright eyes.

Concubine Nianhulu looked normal, and there was no anger in her voice, as if she was just raising a common sense question.

"How can it be so fast!" The Queen glanced at Concubine Bila, "We girls are fragile. Giving birth to a child is a very damaging thing. During childbirth, it is like walking through the gates of hell. A miscarriage is also roughly a childbirth. We need to take good care of ourselves. If we damage our vitality, it will not be recovered in a short time."

The Queen knew who Concubine Niuhulu was advising, and was also telling Concubine Niuhulu that Concubine Bila's health had not recovered even halfway, let alone recovered completely? That is, she was young, recovered faster and better, but she was still weak?
The Queen just wanted to tell Concubine Niuhulu that this was still a woman, a person who was the weakest. Concubine Niuhulu might not be unaware of this. After staying in this palace for a long time, the most uncommon thing was that due to various reasons, people gradually became weak and died.

But I am still willing to lower myself to ask this question, maybe because I really have nothing to talk about!

"You need to take good care of yourself. Concubine Bila dragged her sick body to come and pay her respects to the Empress. Her heart is commendable." Concubine Niuhulu praised with a smile. When everyone was surprised and thought that Concubine Niuhulu was going to praise her all at once, Concubine Niuhulu remained calm and said, "But...!"

Concubine Niuhulu paused for a moment and continued, "This behavior is unacceptable. The Emperor is the father of the world, and the Empress is the mother of the country. They are both wise rulers and virtuous empresses who love the people like their own children. Women's bodies are weak and yin, and they are not as masculine as men. When a woman has a miscarriage, her body is seriously injured. Even for the kindness and compassion of the Emperor and the Empress, they should take good care of her. How can they be like Concubine Bila and not take care of their bodies?"

Concubine Dong nodded secretly. What Concubine Niuhulu said made sense. How could this be possible? Bila really set a good example. She was the only one who was respectful and filial, wasn't she? She came to pay respects even though she had just had a miscarriage.

In the future, will the concubines also have to learn from her in order to show their loyalty to the queen?

Besides, Concubine Dong doesn't believe in Concubine Bila's "loyalty"! The bloody precedent is still there.
If Concubine Bila was truly loyal, obedient and submissive, she would not have disregarded the Queen's order to take care of her pregnancy and suddenly appeared at the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing banquet.

Now this move is just a private move under the pretext of showing respect to the Queen, satisfying her own selfish desires.

However, as she was of low rank, her words were not taken seriously, so Concubine Dong knew to be cautious in her words and actions and to keep her mouth shut at the right time. Concubine Dong also did not want to cause trouble for no reason. It should be said that most of the concubines at that time had this idea.

So they chose to endure it as much as possible, and they were all so docile that they had no temper and seemed like they were not real people. Sometimes, perhaps for a moment, in this huge palace, the slaves and "half-slaves" inside were all so docile that they seemed to be lifeless! They were not like living people at all, but more like living, just a flesh and blood body.

Suddenly, I felt a little eerie and scary? Qin Rou was a little dazed, but this situation, this situation, was suppressed by Kangxi alone!

It was Kangxi who maintained this situation. Behind the Queen's efforts to suppress the concubines, it was Kangxi who supported her.

If you say that Kangxi is completely ignorant of the current situation in the harem, you will see whether Qinrou believes it or not; in fact, she just doesn't care.

The concubines in the harem were just tools placed in the courtyard. They could be replenished at any time, and they could also be sacrificed at any time, as long as they blocked the emperor's hegemony!

This is the emperor!
As for whether the queen had any selfish motives in eliminating those unwanted competitors?
Can we just say that this is human nature?

This is the Queen!
