The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Concubine Zhang is not only talking, but also talking about people. Does Qinrou care? No!

Is she going to argue with the concubines in the harem that all flowers are dead and decorative? Either she is crazy or the world is crazy.

Aren't you afraid of death?
Does Qinrou care about this comment of being a vulgar person? No! She doesn't care. She is a person of the world, a vulgar person and a vulgar thing.

The queen kept smiling. She knew that Concubine Zhang was a fool. Otherwise, the queen wouldn't support her with all her heart! She didn't find it strange that she would do bad things.

After all, such a temperament, if used well, is a sharp weapon; if used poorly, it will bring harm.

The queen smiled, kind and generous, virtuous and graceful, "It's just a flower, there is nothing that can compare to it, as long as I wear this flower on my head or on my body, it makes me beautiful."

The queen was very easy to talk to! It seemed that she didn't care about the dispute between the peony and the other flowers. It seemed that she was saying that since she was already the queen, she would be tolerant.

"Among all the flowers in the world, the peony has bloomed. It is the most beautiful and fragrant flower in the world. Is there any other flower that can compare to it?" Qinrou replied seriously and gently.

The flowers want to compete with the peony for beauty! What? Are the concubines in the harem trying to compete with the queen for the position of queen? Such accusations and such illusions should not be made from the beginning, so as to avoid future troubles.

Qin Rou knew exactly what to say and what not to say to the emperor. Kangxi doted on her and occasionally ignored her misbehavior! But it was different for the concubines in the harem.

Their positions are naturally opposite, and they are born enemies. Even if she behaves well, they want to find faults in her and find her irregularities, so that she will no longer exist in the world.

Not to mention, this kind of impoliteness that was delivered to the door was a handle that was directly used against oneself, uprooting one's own weakness.

How much water must have gone into her brain and how confused she is!

Thank you to Concubine Zhang for giving her the ending point to end the topic. How good is she!
"I also think that the peony is incomparable to other flowers." Concubine Niuhulu has always been a man of few words, but she also interrupted today.

Concubine Niuhulu had her own plan. People have always been compared to flowers, and it is well known that the peony is a metaphor for the queen. Now the queen said in front of all the concubines that there is no comparison between the peony and other flowers.

If the concubines in the harem did not express their opinions and even a few words spread out, wouldn't it make people suspect that the concubines in the harem were coveting the position of queen?

Although Concubine Niu Hulu had such thoughts lingering and deeply rooted. But Concubine Niu Hulu knew the fear imposed on her! Some thoughts can be thought of and operated secretly, but they cannot be said. The teacher has a legitimate reason! You must remember.

Concubine Niuhulu did not want to be branded as someone who coveted the position of empress.

Furthermore, Concubine Nianhulu glanced at Qin Rou inconspicuously. Although it might not be useful in the future, it was hard to say whether it would be useful or not.

It's okay to help out. Things that go with the flow, whether true or false, false or true, are the most confusing.

The queen smiled, and her gentle and graceful face met the dignified and submissive Concubine Niu Hulu. She saw the meaning behind Concubine Niu Hulu's words and didn't want to be criticized! She dared to do and think, but she didn't dare to take responsibility, nor did she dare to speak out.

The moment the dispute over status was settled, it was like a natural moat that made a huge difference.

The Queen also smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this. There's not much point in talking about this, let's talk about something else." As the Queen was in the position of the Empress, she naturally had the right to raise such things high and low. But the rest of the people, if they had a bit of brains, would not say a word of disobedience.

The queen could say she didn't care, but if others didn't care, the queen would be unhappy. The queen's position was something she had always held in her hands, so how could she allow others to get involved without knowing whether she would live or die?

Even the person that the queen was thinking about, Concubine Niuhulu, was a big worry for the queen. Concubine Niuhulu had a noble status and was different from ordinary people, so the queen could not touch her. She had to be patient for a while. Could it be that the queen would care about an ordinary lowly concubine?

A high position means nobleness, and an low position means lowliness; whether a person is noble or humble is determined by his status.

"Yes." The Queen Mother had spoken, and the concubines in the harem had no choice but to obey.

The Queen looked at everyone and said, "I see that you all have quite a few silk flowers and dried flowers on your heads. Now is the beautiful season of spring, when all flowers are in full bloom. The flowers on your heads really reflect your beautiful season."

The queen only took a quick look and saw that the concubines in the palace were wearing a lot of flowers. However, most of the concubines chose more elegant flowers such as roses, peonies, and roses, especially the concubines who were born in the Manchu military flag.

After all, most of the ladies in the military flags grew up proudly and naturally had their own pride. Naturally, they were taught that flowers like roses, peonies, and roses were more elegant.

They were noble ladies of the Manchu and Mongolian families, not the daughters of the Han people who were brought up in petty families. The daughters of the Han people were just docile cats, just petted toys, how could they be compared with the ladies of the Manchu and Mongolian military flags.

The concubines all lowered their heads slightly. Looking around the whole hall, there was not a single concubine who did not have a flower on her head.

Concubine Li touched the rose on her hair and replied with a smile: "It is spring now, and there are many flowers. Although we are not the kind of people who love and cherish flowers, we have aroused the love of beauty in you. With a flower on your head, you feel like a flower, beautiful and graceful."

"Wearing flowers in the hair is also a tradition of our Manchu people!" Concubine Ma Jia glanced at everyone and said jokingly, "When spring comes, seeing the flowers blooming in the imperial garden, the concubines of our Manchu army flags are itching to wear flowers in their hair. We Manchu people are used to wearing flowers in our hair."

From bondservants to imperial concubines and nobles, the history of wearing flowers in the hair is very old. Even if one has gold and silver hairpins and jade hairpins, one always wants to wear one or several flowers in the hair.

Only then does the whole person seem complete.

"How come we were so free before the Manchus entered the Pass?" The Queen also smiled and said, "At that time, our ladies were all extremely valuable. They were good at riding and hunting, and all of them were skilled in archery. They would invite a group of close friends to go to the prairie to race horses. There were many kinds of flowers on the prairie at that time. If they liked any, they could pick them and wear them on their hair. They could also give them to the sisters who went with them." The words were naturally spoken to everyone.

"Your Highness, what the Queen said makes sense." Concubine Ma Jia quickly agreed, "All the girls in our Manchu family grew up freely and unrestrainedly. Everyone is doted on by their family!"

Even though this favor has a price, by comparison, the women of the Han army banner live a comfortable and relaxed life compared to the Han people.

They look down on the so-called docility of the Han people and the women of the Han army banner, and they also look down on the spinelessness of the Han people and the Han army banner, as well as the Han girls whose brains have been corrupted by their parents.

In the final analysis, they are incomparable to others. Noble is noble, and lowly is lowly. This is determined by birth.
