The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 379 History
It is impossible for Concubine Dong to say that she is not worried about the Second Princess. Looking at the past and present, or not looking that far ahead, just looking at the history of the Qing Dynasty, we know that the Qing Dynasty royal family has always disregarded princesses.

Of the six legitimate princesses of the late emperor, the only remaining legitimate princess was just a chess piece on the chessboard of the emperor and the grand empress dowager. When they were needed, they were put on the table; once they were no longer needed, they could not escape the fate of being abandoned.

Now, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the two closest relatives of the Second Princess, who would care about her life or death?

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not love her, but Concubine Dong loved her daughter. The birth date and horoscope have always been vague and illusory. No one knows what the outcome will be until the final result comes out.

When things are bad, a single sentence like "a star of misfortune" is enough to completely destroy a person. During the witchcraft disaster during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, even the crown prince could not escape the emperor's suspicion.

If the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had said one more word or made one or two comments, the future of the Second Princess might have been uncertain or even ruined.

She was weak and of lowly status, but Concubine Dong never forgot that she was a mother and always inquired about the situation for her infant daughter.

Although she was dragged into the battle by Concubine Ma Jia, Concubine Dong was quick to react. She was "clear" that the Queen might not be as virtuous as she appeared, but Concubine Dong also understood the principle of pretending to be deaf and dumb to live a long life with few disasters. So what obligation did she have to remind the enemy?
There is also the risk of a catastrophic disaster.

Therefore, Concubine Dong will not be on the same front and speak the same voice as Concubine Ma Jia, but Concubine Dong knows better that she will not betray Concubine Ma Jia, Concubine Yehenala, and all the concubines in the harem!
If the people are disunited, then wouldn't it be easier for the queen to deal with her weak servants alone? Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the right balance.

Concubine Dong also seemed to be on the same camp as Concubine Ma Jia. At this time, they could not be considered "allies", but they could also be considered allies.

Concubine Dong was also worried and said, "The second princess was born and is already one year old. But the birth date and horoscope change rapidly. The second princess's birth date and horoscope may be good or bad! I am also very worried. I beg the queen to have some mercy on us two."

When asking for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help. Although Concubine Dong has changed her appearance and become the emperor's concubine, she does not hesitate at all when she is required to bend down.

If you can get up, you can get down too. It doesn't matter if you bow your head and beg for mercy temporarily. Concubine Dong knows clearly what is most important and what is least important.

Keeping what I want is the most important thing. Everything else is just a minor detail.

The queen nodded gently, and then said, "It is natural for people to love their children." After she finished speaking, the queen looked at Concubine Ma Jia and Concubine Dong, her expression even gentler!
"I know that Concubine Ma Jia and Concubine Dong are worried about the Fourth Prince and the Second Princess. There is no need to worry too much!" The Queen said, "The royal heirs of the royal family, the dragon sons and grandsons of the emperor, are born extremely noble." How can such a fate be bad!

The fact of reincarnation alone has put almost everyone in the world under her feet. Although the queen did not say it explicitly, this is what she meant in her words.

The Queen said, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has submitted it. The Fourth Prince and the Second Princess both have the best and most noble fates. They are both blessed people! They are people with good fortunes and luck."

The empress was tired of hearing the Imperial Observatory's rhetoric. All the sons and grandsons of the dragon and the phoenix, who were born, had bad fortunes. The theory of fate was just a statement that could be changed at will with a look or a look.

She worships Buddha and believes in Buddha, but the Buddha's hand and heart are playing with her. She is just using another deeper and more traceless method to play power and eliminate dissidents. The queen does not believe in Buddha, nor does she believe in fate; man can conquer nature! If there is no opportunity and hard work, how can the queen have such a noble fate.

It is just a theory of fate, and such a conclusion cannot be used to shake people's hearts. Among the families of nobles and important officials, how many people truly believe in Buddhism and fate?
But no matter men or women, when they united to face the outside world, they all concealed the truth. They would rather believe in "fate"!
When the empress comforted Concubine Dong and Concubine Ma Jia with her life and blessings, she did so with all her heart.

The empress's virtue lies in that she really accompanies the emperor attentively, manages the harem wisely, and looks after the royal heirs carefully. There is no fault to be found in her!
Whether it was a comfort or whether it was true or false, Concubine Ma Jia and Concubine Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer had to worry.

In this case, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager or anyone else can no longer use any other reason to drive the Fourth Prince out of the palace and have him cared for and raised by servants.

Concubine Ma Jia was finally completely relieved. After the Fifth Prince left the palace, Saiyinchahun became the most powerful. The Emperor only had two legitimate princes, and Saiyinchahun was the only prince in front of her. Concubine Ma Jia didn't believe that the Emperor would not favor him a little.

Especially since Saiyin Chahun is now the emperor's actual eldest son; taking the current result as an example, the emperor kept the fourth prince in the palace to raise him, but moved the fifth prince out of the palace, which may not be out of this concern.

Concubine Ma Jia felt somewhat pleased with herself, as if she had already seen a bright future beckoning to her.

Concubine Dong also breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen was dignified and majestic. Since she said so, there must be no major problems with the Second Princess's birth date and time. As long as there were no mistakes or any bad comments, Concubine Dong would feel a little relieved.

At least, no matter who it is, not even the Emperor or the Empress Dowager, they would not use the Second Princess's birth date to cause trouble or evil.

The two of them thanked the queen together, "Thank you for your consideration, madam." Concubine Dong said, "I worry too much and make you laugh."

What Concubine Dong meant was: I worry too much, I am not presentable, I am really petty, I am just a small person, your Majesty please don't bother with me.

"A mother's heart is devoted to her children all her life. No matter how many worries she has, she should be understanding and considerate of them." The queen said to the two with sympathy.

Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers. After so many years of palace fighting, why is it necessary to control the heirs in the palace? It is to control the husband; it is also to control the heirs' biological mothers.

Ten months of pregnancy, accompanying each other day and night, and once the baby is born, who would not miss him/her a little, unless he/she is born evil?

Not only does he hold the future of the mansion in his hands, but he also controls the enemies in the mansion's backyard, making them fearful. Then, it is not impossible for his position to be stable and difficult to shake.

After all, we all die, don't we? Without an heir, the family line will be lost; the legacy of my ancestors will be destroyed in one day, and all I have longed for and worked hard for my whole life will be gone in one day.

Who can not have this thought?
