The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 366: Danger comes from Kangxi's concubines

"Let me take a look!" Kangxi was very excited. Aunt Chen and Xiaoman did not bother him. Together with Fushun and Cangzi, they picked up the pink palace dresses one by one, so that Kangxi and Qinrou could choose more carefully.

After choosing for a long time, Emperor Kangxi chose the pink one with the albizzia flowers embroidered on it and called a halt. Fushun and Cangzi unfolded the clothes. The emperor hugged Qinrou and said, "I think this one is good. The embroiderer's craftsmanship is not bad. The albizzia flowers on the clothes are well embroidered, and the meaning is also good, happiness for generations. What do you think!"

The skills of the embroiderers were indeed not bad. The flowers and birds embroidered on the clothes of the concubines in the palace who were favored were all embroidered by the embroiderers with better skills. They would not be embroidered casually by the embroiderers with poor skills.

For one thing, favored concubines often serve the monarch, and there will always be days when they whisper in the emperor's ear.

In order to make their lives easier, the servants would rush to cook the best food and naturally try to please the emperor. They might even go to the emperor's house to beg him for mercy one day, just to make sure the concubine was happy and avoid trouble. The servants would also serve the concubine more attentively!
Furthermore, the favored concubines served the emperor all the time. If one day they wore a palace dress with embroidery patterns and went to the emperor, the emperor was the biggest master in the entire palace. All the institutions and people in the palace served the emperor alone.

If the emperor saw his favorite concubine was not dressed well, he would definitely think that the servants under him did not serve her well. At that time, at the very least, he would punish her with a beating and let her recover from her injuries for a while; at the worst, he would remove her from her position and send her to serve elsewhere.

Whether you can survive depends on luck.

The servants are also human beings! The servants will also seek benefits and avoid harm. They will turn to whichever direction the wind blows. Wherever Kangxi wants, the servants will follow the emperor's will, intentionally or unintentionally.

How dare they not serve with all their heart.

They could assign an average embroiderer to make palace clothes for an unfavored concubine, but they would not dare to treat a favored concubine in this way.

Try to avoid trouble!
If one day the emperor's favor goes to another place, their capable service will also lead them to that place.

Qinrou followed Kangxi's gaze and saw that the embroiderer in the palace who made clothes for her had good skills; the cassia flowers were embroidered well, so Kangxi's taste was definitely not bad.

Qin Rou raised her head slightly, her fox eyes blinking, not as cunning as a fox, but very smart, and said tentatively: "Let me try!"

"Try it!" Kangxi also felt that it made sense. The emperor was naturally confident in his own vision. Hearing this, he called the servants and said.

After receiving the imperial decree, Aunt Chen and Xiaoman bowed and then stepped forward. Fushun and Cangzi also hurriedly brought up their palace dresses.

Qinrou doesn't need to do anything more, Aunt Chen and the other servants will serve her well.

Helping Qinrou to put on her palace dress and smoothing every corner of the clothes was considered a good service.

Li Dequan quickly smiled and apologized: "From what I see, the emperor has a sharp eye and never loses his standards. The concubine's clothes are really good! So good that I feel like the peach blossom fairy from heaven has come down to earth."

Otherwise, how can we say that Li Dequan is the chief eunuch in front of the emperor? Even if it is such a subjective statement, he can say it so sincerely! It can be seen that his position is well deserved. He is so good at speaking.

At least when it comes to speaking, many people are not as good as him!

Qin Rou didn't take it too seriously. The peach blossom fairy in the sky was too embarrassing. Especially when she knew that there was nothing in the sky except the atmosphere;

Gods and fairies do not exist. Fairies and fairies are just rumors.

"You might as well praise me as a peach blossom fairy, and I became a fairy one day?" Qin Rou glanced at Li Dequan and joked. She was not interested in the peach blossom fairy. As a human being, there is no such thing as not experiencing the second year of middle school. If you don't experience the second year of middle school, you will be in vain!

She is no exception, and cannot escape this law. When she was young, she even imagined whether she was a spirit or not, and whether there was something strange about her life experience.

He is a strange person! He doesn't believe in gods or immortals, but in his middle school soul, he still fantasizes about whether he is a spirit. Kangxi glanced at Li Dequan, then turned his eyes back, "Why, you don't want to be a god, but a spirit instead!"

To say someone is a monster is always derogatory and sarcastic. So she is happy to be praised as a monster?

Qin Rou replied, "There are no such things as gods in the world!" They are just things that do not exist.

Such a thing doesn't need to exist. Is it just to watch the world suffer and enjoy the incense and salary forever? That's really ironic. It's better for it not to exist in the first place.

I don't ask for any afterlife. Just live well in this life! The love and hatred of this life are formed in this life; the love and resentment of this life are resolved in this life.

It is enough for a person to live one life. It is also enough for a person to live one life well.

Qin Rou spoke softly, and she remained true to her original intention. She said to Kangxi, "I don't believe this."

Emperor Kangxi was also an emperor who had been on the throne for many years. He knew that spirits, gods, and ghosts were essentially the same thing, so he asked her jokingly, "Then believe in spirits."

"I don't believe it either." Qin Rou blurted out without thinking. She was also speaking the truth, her face fell helplessly, the smile on her face also faded, and she muttered helplessly: "Is this slave still in Nan Ke's dream?"

Is it possible that she is not even allowed to daydream? She insisted on doing it!

Kangxi wanted to laugh even more when he heard this. He wanted to laugh, but stopped. He didn't believe in immortals, gods, ghosts, and monsters, but he had a daydream about the monsters becoming spirits;

Emperor Kangxi could only laugh silently, and Qin Rou let him laugh. What's so funny? Laugh if you want to!

Maybe there's really something funny about it.

She was a person with a stable mood and would not do such a thing. She spent some time choosing in the jewelry box, and then picked out a pair of pink, small, gem-studded earrings and put them on.

Just right. Qin Rou moved the earrings, and the small gemstone earrings moved.

It is also suitable.

Qin Rou turned around and placed one of her white and tender hands into Emperor Kangxi's slightly rough palm, interlocking their fingers in an unusually intimate way. "Your Majesty, may I go and have breakfast?"

A lot of time has been wasted. Soon, I should go to Kunning Palace to pay my respects to the Queen. I can't be late.

Qin Rou has always understood this. The greatest danger to the harem does not necessarily come from the emperor. The emperor is concerned about the previous dynasty and does not have much time to manage the affairs of the six palaces.

Therefore, the greatest danger in the harem comes from the concubines in Kangxi's harem.

No matter how virtuous and harmless they are, their true colors will be revealed one day.

They will be the biggest source of danger.

Not concubines, but empresses! That is, it includes the queen and concubines, whether existing or future.

Kangxi also held Qinrou's hand tightly and led her out: "Qinrou treats me with much ease."
