The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 369 The Empress Dowager Cannot Regret
After paying their respects, the concubines came out from the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Seeing the sun again was like returning from the narrow darkness. The sun was a bit dazzling, and Qinrou closed her eyes reflexively and stretched out her hands to block it. Xiaoman hurriedly opened the umbrella, the ribs of which were woven with five-color silk threads. The umbrella was aqua red, and above it was a cluster of lifelike, tender and beautiful peach blossoms.

Wearing the pink peach palace dress she is wearing today, she looks like one with the others whether she is walking, standing, sitting or lying down.

Concubine Fei Mo was a little jealous... The favored concubines were different from the unfavored concubines. There were so many concubines in the harem, not to mention the clothes and accessories, how could they be matched so perfectly.

Especially the umbrella he used and the cloak he wore, all of which were taken into consideration. Same person, different fate! Then he suppressed his sadness. Who in the palace didn't come here with sadness?

Otherwise, why would everyone want to be pampered? It can be seen that pampering is indeed a good thing.

Concubine Fei Mo turned her head away. Out of sight, out of mind! Aren’t there enough bloody examples in the palace? Not to mention the distant past, the example of Bila is right there!
The emperor doesn't like it! Even if she's pregnant with a baby, he still doesn't like it. But if the emperor likes a baby, even if she can't have a baby, so what! The emperor will hold her in his hands.

The concubines walked forward cautiously. The emperor was ruthless but also sentimental. Look at the ones the emperor favored, none of them had a bad life; moreover, not to mention the distant past, Concubine Li, Concubine Ma Jia, and Concubine Zhang had served for many years, and the emperor still cared about them and favored them.

How is this not a passionate and long-lasting love?

But they all gave up. Not everyone could become Concubine Li, Concubine Ma Jia, or even Concubine Zhang. They all knew that the emperor's ruthlessness was reserved for them from the beginning to the end.

How can it not make people despair! How can it not make people feel hopeless!
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, they are in the same world, so close to each other. Qin Rou really couldn't imagine what the other concubines were thinking.

She felt that her relationship with the concubines in the palace was even worse than that of strangers, and she consciously kept a distance from everyone.

People's jealousy comes suddenly. They may not want you to live a bad life, but they certainly don't want you to live too well! You can't find two or three close friends in your life. So why bother? They are useless!

——What you bring into this world you cannot take out when you die.

Qinrou recognized the reality early and gave up early.

However, before they had walked a few steps in the sunshine, Concubine Niuhulu in front of them suddenly stopped walking and stopped. It was also a coincidence that who was standing in front of Concubine Niuhulu who made Concubine Niuhulu stop walking? No one knew!

However, she saw that there was an acquaintance standing in front of Concubine Niuhulu, Su Malagu who stood in front of the Empress Dowager. She was also a big Buddha who rarely appeared in the palace. As soon as Concubine Niuhulu saw the big Buddha Su Malagu appear in the main palace, Kunning Palace, she knew that since Su Malagu had come, something must be wrong!
Su Malagu observed her duties as a slave and bowed to Concubine Niuhulu in a proper and polite manner. However, Concubine Niuhulu quickly stepped back to show her respect and humility.

Su Malagu had a special status in the palace. She was a real slave, but she was also a slave in name. However, she and the Empress Dowager were like one person, and they had a tacit understanding. Standing beside the Empress Dowager, she had the grace of nurturing and teaching the emperor, and was deeply respected by the emperor.

Whether it was the Empress Dowager or Emperor Kangxi, they were all the vanes for the actions of the people in the harem. Su Malagu was deeply trusted and obeyed by these two, so how could she be treated simply?

But Su Malagu had always been conscientious in her duties. As a slave, she had to do the work of a slave and observe the etiquette of a slave. She was very polite to all the masters in the palace. Her heart was as hard as a rock, and Su Malagu's will could not be changed. Later, the high-ranking concubines and wives formed a tacit understanding that when Su Malagu saluted, they would step aside to show their humility and respect for this slave with a special status in the harem.

The practice of avoiding etiquette also came from this, and later became a habit and a form of respect.

"Aunt, you are embarrassing me! There is really no need to be so polite. You are half a teacher to me, and even more of a teacher to the emperor." How could Concubine Nianhulu dare to accept such courtesy? The concubines might be ignorant and not understand Su Malagu's power.

As for the power held by Aunt Suma, she can overturn the forces that she holds.

Concubine Niuhulu could only guess six or seven points of it, but she was already frightened and looked sideways. The clearer she knew, the more she was afraid! This was how Concubine Niuhulu treated Su Malagu.

If the Empress Dowager is the Tiger King with deep roots in the mountains, then Su Malagu is her sharp claws. Killing without shedding blood, it can be said that if there is a person in the world who can persuade the Empress Dowager to change her mind, then that person must not be the Emperor, nor anyone else, but Su Malagu!

Just from this point, we can see how frightening Su Malagu is...

"It is my honor to have the privilege to be the emperor's teacher. The emperor values ​​and exaggerates my contributions." Aunt Suma would be proud of Kangxi, but she would not be proud of teaching the emperor.

No matter when or where, Su Malagu was just fulfilling her duty as a slave. And because of this, she was more respected and trusted by the emperor.

"The emperor knows what kind of person your aunt is, and I, the empress, and the royal family relatives also know what your emperor is thinking." Concubine Nianhulu would not really follow Aunt Suma's words.

That is just walking into Su Malagu's fallacy. Really disrespecting Su Magu!
Su Ma Gu said a few words. She was following the order of the Grand Empress Dowager, so there was really no need to say anything. Su Ma Gu said, "It is a great honor to meet the Concubine Niuhulu here. The Grand Empress Dowager has just got a new dish, and she specially invited the Concubine and the Empress to taste it together. I am here just to obey your order!"

Even so, Concubine Niuhulu thought to herself: It would be strange if the Empress Dowager came to invite him personally for no reason. How could she come just to taste a dish?

Although the food is delicious, it is not easy to swallow.

I wondered why. The recalculation of the birth dates of the heirs in the palace a few days ago? This was the only recent event.

What does the Empress Dowager want to do with this?
"The Grand Empress Dowager treats the Empress and me with great kindness. The Empress and I were thinking about paying our respects to the Grand Empress Dowager. She was just worried that the Empress and I were unfilial and unvirtuous, and disturbed the Grand Empress Dowager's peace! That's why I held back. I hope the Grand Empress Dowager won't think that the Empress and I are too noisy." Although she was full of speculations in her heart, Concubine Nianhulu quickly replied.

"The Grand Empress Dowager likes quietness; but today's dishes are much better. The Grand Empress Dowager is also missing the Queen and you, so she asked the servants to invite the Queen and the Queen together." Aunt Su Ma talked and laughed without leaking a single word. The Grand Empress Dowager still likes quietness, so there is no need to disturb her unless necessary.

The Empress Dowager was too lazy to deal with Concubine Niuhulu and the Queen. The Empress Dowager's decentralization was part of the resource exchange transaction.

The Empress Dowager naturally couldn't regret it!
