The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 375 Coaxing

Qin Rou shuddered. Kangxi was a difficult person to get along with, which was reflected in his expression. His cold brows, stern eyes, and cold-heartedness were all evident on the surface.

Especially when he spoke so meaningfully, I always felt that someone was going to be unlucky. Unfortunately, looking at Kangxi like this, Qin Rou always felt uneasy!
Although he knew that this was the emperor, even if he wanted to plot against someone, especially someone like her, he didn't have to do it in a shady way. He could be straightforward and get rid of her with just one sentence.

Strength can defeat skill. Especially at times like this, the gap in power and status is like a natural chasm. From ancient times to the present, it has always been such a truth: only under strong fists can there be a chance for a reasonable conversation.

The history of humiliation in the past hundred years is a good proof of this point.

Qin Rou is not stupid. She knows very well that if she has to describe this emperor who was brought up under the imperial power in one word, it must be "absolutely not a good person!"

This is perfectly normal. If his means are not ruthless enough and his heart is not cold-blooded enough, how can Emperor Kangxi protect his position, seize the imperial power and become a wise emperor in such a precarious situation?

Moody, fickle, and emperor-like mentality are just standard features and nothing unusual for him!
It would not be surprising if she was killed by Kangxi someday, and there was no need to blame others! Under the imperial power and wealth, so many people turned into dry bones, piles of bones, one more than her, not much.

What is there to complain about? It will still turn around even without you. If I can't get over it, I'm just making things difficult for myself!
Qin Rou looked up at the emperor with a suspicious expression, and said, "Your attitude always makes me feel uneasy!"

Qin Rou frowned, and she couldn't help wondering if she had done something wrong.

Instead of being so nervous, why not just say it out loud? Qin Rou was almost there to make it clear.

"Oh! Really?" Kangxi deliberately turned his head. All the expressions on his face were restrained in an instant. Whether there was something or not, nothing could be seen from his face.

"Your Majesty is teasing me!" She realized instantly that if Kangxi wanted to deal with her, he wouldn't need to say a word, his attitude would have made it clear. Why would he go through so much trouble with her, or take such a long detour? It was impossible for her.

She doesn't have such great power that is worthy of an emperor using such power.

Her tone was coquettish, half coquettish and half surprised, as if she had suddenly realized something. No matter what it was, as long as it had nothing to do with her, it had nothing to do with her. Anyway, if she needed to know, someone would always go to great lengths to deliver it to her. There was no doubt about that.

It doesn't matter if it's there or not! It's a good time to try it out. You can always find some clues.

Kangxi adjusted his sitting posture, looking at her with stern eyebrows. Although his expression was unclear, a closer look revealed that there was something turbulent in his eyes.

"Come to me!" Kangxi ordered, his instructions were clear.

Qin Rou looked at Kangxi's expression, not understanding what was going on, but she still pursed her lips, put down the ink stick in her hand, and walked to Kangxi's side. The emperor opened his hands, and Qin Rou sat down in Kangxi's arms.

His expression remained the same as before, as if there was nothing wrong with this action; he had done it thousands of times and had become accustomed to it.

Holding her in his arms, Kangxi looked at her eyebrows and eyes again, not knowing what he saw, Qin Rou said secretly.

She let Kangxi go and see.

"What is the emperor looking at?" Qin Rou asked? Is there anything wrong with her face, or this person?

After thinking about it, Qin Rou asked directly.

Kangxi did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at her for a while before telling her, "I see your beautiful face, your gentle features, which are really pleasing to the eyes! I also like it very much..."

This doesn't seem to be a good thing to say! So, is she using her beauty to please others? Qin Rou pondered, is her face so important?

Qin Rou couldn't help but doubt, she also refused, frowned, and asked the emperor, "Is this my only advantage? If one day, someone accidentally broke out in a fire, or something else, my face," Qin Rou touched her face with her slender hand, "was damaged, would the emperor no longer like me?" Although this was indeed the case. The emperor had the whole world, and there were more than 3,000 beauties in the harem, beautiful, pretty, and with good family backgrounds. If this one didn't work, there would always be someone to replace it.

There are all kinds of beautiful new concubines, and it is inevitable that the old ones will be replaced. But as I said, she is favored now! What will happen in the future, the future will truly know.

But now, couldn't Kangxi coax her? Even if he told her a few lies!

As for whether such an accident would happen, Qin Rou never doubted the possibility. She looked down on her own IQ, so could it be that she also looked down on the IQ and character of the concubines in the harem?

If there ever comes a day when she is disfigured for various reasons, Qin Rou will only have this feeling: Oh! It’s finally here.

It was a belated destiny, but it finally arrived.

Qin Rou frowned slightly, her eyes were also filled with sadness, pretending to be sad. In life, no matter where you get hurt, you will always feel sad; if your face is hurt, this sadness is even more serious.

Maybe it’s because of the strange looks from others? Maybe it’s because of the gossip? Maybe it’s because of your lost beauty?
Everyone has it. As a mortal, how can one escape from the mundane world? Qin Rou is no exception! She is sad, but if she wants to gain sympathy from others, she is not so humble yet.

Why force something that cannot be forced!

But Qin Rou would not just not think about or ask about things that had not happened.

The beauty lowered her eyes, her brows were sad, and her expression was mournful and gentle, which made people feel particularly distressed. It was unknown whether the emperor felt distressed in his heart, but at least he showed it on his face.

"The skin is nothing but an external thing. Just because it is born on my beloved concubine's face, I like it very much." Kangxi coaxed her in a low voice, "My beloved concubine has a chaste temperament, is gentle and warm, and is well-educated and well-mannered. It is this kind of temperament that I like my beloved concubine!"

Qin Rou smiled! She hugged the emperor's neck and put her arms around him. She said coquettishly: "I know it, how could I be born with only one advantage, good looks?"

Food and sex! It's human nature. It's the nature of men and women. But it's hard to say it's easy to say!

Especially for the emperor's concubines, it is not a good sign if they are only associated with beauty.

The first thing people think of is a tyrant emperor and a sinister concubine.

Therefore, even if it were true, the emperor would not admit it.

No matter what! This question will only have one answer and one ending.

Qin Rou just wanted to cut off a path of trouble. What did she do wrong?
Being pretty is just one of her advantages.

The world is a huge makeshift troupe. Everyone is trying to please others, and will be very happy to be please. At least Kangxi enjoyed it very much.

Appearance is not only important to women, but also to men.

From ancient times to the present, there have been so many officials in history, even emperors, and how many of them had disfigured faces?

Especially for women, they regard it as their life and property. In the harem, how many women have fallen out of favor because they are no longer beautiful!
Thus began the path to her death.

Kangxi also understood that no matter how lucid he was, it was not surprising that he would be a little flustered at the possibility of his appearance being disfigured.
