The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 345 The Queen is well-educated!
Qinrou rested for a while. It was getting late. If the queen didn't mention it or issue an imperial decree to make it clear, she would have to continue the morning and evening visit. Qinrou packed up and planned to go to the queen's palace.

Qin Rou was just thankful that the Chengqian Palace where she lived was not far from the Queen's Kunning Palace. Otherwise, she would have to walk a longer distance.

Qin Rou stood up and was about to leave when the eunuch from Kunning Palace came. He passed on the decree that there was no need to go to Kunning Palace for self-reflection today. He didn't even need to give a reason!
The cloak was put on, and then undone. It was just right not to go!
Xiaoman has gone to rest. Aunt Chen and Xiaoman are waiting on him in the palace. Originally, it was planned that Xiaoman would also wait on him during this time of unconsciousness. As for being tired, the master is tired too. How could it be the servant's turn to complain?

"Since the Queen has ordered, there is no need to mourn. You can continue to rest!" Qin Rou instructed Xiao Man.

The concubines almost always knew which servant they preferred to take to Kunning Palace for morning and evening visits. There were few changes, and the concubines were mostly served by palace maids.

But there were also those who brought the eunuchs serving in the palace to Kunning Palace to pay their respects to the empress in the morning and evening. For example, the more famous one was: Otuo.

Palace maids will eventually be released. They are not as good as eunuchs, who have no hope for the rest of their lives, no roots and no offspring. They also have fewer weaknesses and can be used for a lifetime without having to be changed. The masters will feel more at ease using them.

"Yes." However, Qinrou was used to taking Xiaoman out at the beginning, and later she didn't change much. Xiaoman bowed and said respectfully.

I am tired physically, but serving the master is normal.

Xiaoman then slowly retreated.

Aunt Chen and Qin Rou said, "The emperor went to Kunning Palace today. I guess he must have arrived at Kunning Palace by now!"

The Empress is virtuous, and the Emperor has always treated her well and favored her! The Emperor and Empress are equals, a wise ruler and a virtuous queen, a perfect match.

Kangxi used to go to Kunning Palace every month except the first and fifteenth day of the month. He also went there a lot on weekdays. It was not the first time he had seen Qin Rou. However, after the death of the second prince, the relationship between the emperor and the empress was harmonious, so Kangxi loved to go to Kunning Palace even more.

Probably! Trying hard to give birth to a legitimate prince?
Speaking of the legitimate prince, Qinrou thought of the Crown Prince Yinreng, whose original name was Baocheng, the second legitimate son of the Queen. Qinrou was still impressed by him, and how much he doted on him!

Thinking of Kangxi, the Queen, and the Queen's second legitimate son, that is, Kangxi's second legitimate son Yinreng, Qin Rou couldn't help but let her mind go blank and was in a daze for a while.

Come back.

Qin Rou didn't care. She was good at saying nice things. She was born with a mouth that only talked about eating. She said, "The emperor and the empress are equal!"

Qinrou was not sad. It was not worth it to be sad for Kangxi. Apart from hurting her own body, there was no benefit at all. She was a normal person and did not have the habit of self-abuse.

It was a wise move. Aunt Chen naturally wouldn't say too much. The Queen and the Emperor were too involved and not everyone could shake them. There were also fools in the palace who wanted to provoke the Queen just because they had a little favor.

But now, the bones are probably visible in the soil. The weeds on the grave are growing densely and lushly, probably two or three feet high!

Respect the Emperor and the Empress! That is the wise thing to do. Aunt Chen just mentioned it casually so that the concubine would know what was going on, so that others wouldn't suddenly bring it up and reveal the clues, and lose their sense of proportion. It would be bad! Not good!

Qinrou had another midnight snack. After all, she had dinner too early. Especially when she was eating dinner, she was guarding Concubine Bila in Xianfu Palace. Under such circumstances, who would want to eat more? The queen didn't have a good appetite either! Others didn't dare to have a good appetite, and didn't eat much. Fortunately, there was a midnight snack at night. It was the time to grow up, so it was better to go to bed on an empty stomach.

I am so upset! I don't know if I can sleep.

It was true that there were concubines who were hungry.

But it didn't matter to her, Qin Rou had a good night's sleep. She got up in the morning, washed and dressed, and had breakfast. It was a new day, but it was actually just a repetition of her previous life.

She changed into a blue palace dress, decorated her head with velvet and silk flowers, and matched it with a tassel hairpin and a gold hairpin in her hair. It was fresh and simple, yet also gorgeous and noble. It was beautiful!
She wore a white jade ring on each of her hands. Armor was essential, her hands were slender and beautiful, and any kind of armor would look great on her.

Qin Rou couldn't help but admire herself! She sighed a thousand times, how could she not be born in modern times with such a beautiful face and delicate body. Otherwise, she might not be absent from the entertainment circle.

She didn't seek fame, as long as she could live on her own, that was enough! To be honest, although she had no interest in being in the limelight, if she had the right conditions, she would do it for the sake of a free life.

After Aunt Chen dressed up the concubine, she saw that she kept looking at herself in the mirror. Aunt Chen did not urge her as it was still early and there was no rush for her to go.

Qin Rou flattered herself for a while before ordering, "Let's go!" After saying this, Qin Rou ordered Fu Shun who was standing beside her, "Take my riding clothes with you. I'm going to go riding in a while."

The weather was good and it was a rare peaceful day in the palace. This was another day for a good ride on horseback.

"Yes! I obey your command." He would do whatever his master ordered, and Fu responded as he landed smoothly on the ground.

Qin Rou gave this instruction, and then Xiao Man helped her walk out of the palace. After passing through Chengqian Gate, the Qianqing Palace was not far away. Since the day when Chengqian Palace was built, it has been the residence of the favorite concubines of all dynasties, also because of its unique geographical location. ——There is no other palace so close to the Qianqing Palace.

The Kunning Palace is located behind the Qianqing Palace. Between the two palaces, there is a Jiaotai Hall, which has always been the residence of the emperor and empress on their wedding day.

You have to pass the Jiaotai Hall before you can see the Kunning Palace.

Qinrou walked slowly along the way. Few people walked on this road. Concubines did not live in Jingren Palace. Therefore, on the axis of the palace, only the concubines of Chengqian Palace would choose to walk on this palace road when they went to Kunning Palace to pay their respects in the morning and evening.

When I went to Kunning Palace, there were already concubines outside the main hall of Kunning Palace, more than usual. At the same time as usual!
Qinrou went forward. The concubines were whispering. Concubine Zhang approached Qinrou like a thief and said to her mysteriously, "You are not too late. The emperor is still being served by the queen. Is he having breakfast?"

The concubines came so early, maybe they didn't have their own little thoughts. Qin Rou sometimes felt that the queen was well-educated, and such a group of people came to her palace so early, just to compete for her husband's love.

The queen, the legal wife, is still as virtuous as ever, and she takes good care of the concubines and children in the harem. She is really virtuous.

One by one, no one has any idea at all!

Whether as a concubine or a queen, one cannot figure out their position clearly.
