The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

The next day, at about 11:00 p.m., the Fifth Prince's imperial carriage left the Yanxi Palace and marched out of the palace in a grand procession. The palace servants followed behind.

The scene was so magnificent that you couldn't tell that there was a baby in the sedan chair! It really embodied the nobility of the royal family.

The procession marched along the long palace road, and what was a rare event was that the concubines in the palace also came to join in the fun.

"I don't know how many years it will take for the Fifth Prince to return to the palace!" Ma Jia, a concubine, sighed. Although Zhongcui Palace and Yanxi Palace were not in a straight line, behind Zhongcui Palace was East Second Long Street, which was the long street of Yanxi Palace, Yonghe Palace, and Jingyang Palace.

"Don't worry. The Fifth Prince is the Emperor's biological son. Sooner or later, the Emperor will surely welcome him back to the palace in grand style." Hearing Concubine Ma Jia's false sympathy, Concubine Li retorted neither softly nor harshly.

Concubine Ma Jia was secretly delighted that the emperor sent the Fifth Prince to be raised by a servant outside the palace. Yes, in the eyes of the emperor, or rather, in the eyes of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, even if the bondservants were promoted to the highest official rank, they could not change their lowly birth status as bondservants.

The word "slave" has always been used to mock and insult someone who is lowly and lowly.

But Concubine Ma Jia was indeed blinded by one thing. She only knew that the Emperor sent the Fifth Prince out of the palace, and that he had not been able to see his face for many years. He was also raised by a slave. Which one of them was abandoned?
But Li Shufei was a bystander, so how could she not know something about the lifeline? The emperor's move seemed to be a renunciation of the father-son relationship, but on the other hand, it was also a kind of protection.

No matter how high Galu's official position was, he was born in the Yellow Banner. When the Fifth Prince went to his house, he was the only master. And the Emperor was always watching him. The bright future of the whole family was hanging on the balance of power. Which one of them was not destined to fail?

Naturally, she would serve the Fifth Prince with great caution and trepidation, and would not let him worry about his life.

It is not certain if the Fourth Prince stays in the palace. This palace is full of good and bad people. Who knows how many masters are behind the servants?
People's hearts are not united! If they don't work in the same direction, one day, danger will suddenly come, and it is unknown where they will be hurt!
So to put it bluntly, the one who seems to be abandoned is the one who is protected; the Fourth Prince, who stayed in the palace and is suspected of taking advantage, is the one who was abandoned.

Concubine Ma Jia was so stupid that she couldn't see clearly that she pitied the Fifth Prince who was carried out of the palace in his cradle, and the poor Concubine Yehenala who was separated from her son. Little did she know how Concubine Yehenala pitied her! And how she laughed at her behind her back.

Concubine Li naturally had no good intentions to enlighten Concubine Ma Jia. She was stupid! Who could she blame? She was blinded by wealth and glory, and power and status were like a fog that confused her eyes and her heart. If there was no price to change the world, she would not be able to wake up.

Even though it was unpleasant to the ear and not pleasing to the heart, Concubine Li still made a sarcastic remark in a neither soft nor harsh tone.

It can be seen that the gods and immortals are a joke! Unqualified parents are everywhere, but when they have many children and one dies, another one is sent to them, and they abuse it.

However, the qualified parents who begged desperately were deprived of the qualification of being parents at an early stage; no matter how much they begged, they were not willing to give them a child as an heir.

Creation tricks people!

Concubine Li was the speaker, and Concubine Ma Jia was the listener.

However! Concubine Ma Jia really didn't like to hear this. If she went out, she would be better off not coming back.
Coming back was just another thorn in her side and a thorn in her eye.

She felt uncomfortable, but Concubine Ma Jia was well-mannered. After all, she had been in the palace for so many years, and she had cultivated her character and no longer showed any sexual desire.

Concubine Ma Jia said: "Sister Li is right. The Fifth Prince is the Emperor's biological son. The Emperor will not wrong him. People like you and I don't need to worry about the Fifth Prince." Concubine Ma Jia smiled. They have been together for many years. Who doesn't know who is who? A soft knife will hurt people. Everyone knows where it hurts the most!
The phrase "indifferent person" is both a fact and a mockery. Concubine Ma Jia is naturally not heartbroken. She had the eldest prince before, and now she has the fourth prince who is still healthy and well. She is still favored!
Concubine Ma Jia was confident that she could give birth to more heirs with the emperor's favor! Giving birth to children, no matter which one, was her credit. Even though she was a concubine like the others, the natural affection between her and the princes and princesses was not something that could be compared to other people without any connection.

Unlike Concubine Li, no matter how much favor she received, she was just a hopeless and childless concubine. If the emperor stopped favoring her one day, her dignity and glory would end there.

Concubine Li snorted coldly. This is why people don’t necessarily have to have good intentions. Just look at her stubborn and unrepentant behavior and you will know that it is hard to be a good person.

God is blind. The thing thrown into her belly is not here to be reborn, but to survive a tribulation!

After the catastrophe, the fate of mother and son is over, it's time for good or bad, each will go their separate ways!

"We really have nothing to worry about; even if we do, we have the Emperor and the Empress here," Concubine Li was also a person who did not like to suffer any loss. If she couldn't repay her own pain, couldn't she repay Ma Jia's pain?
"With our status, we just need to serve the emperor and the empress and give birth to heirs." The emperor and the empress will decide all matters related to the heirs' food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, etc.

They had seen each other from afar a few times at the New Year banquet. Perhaps the Emperor and Empress were willing to let them say a few words to each other, which would be a rare favor.

Otherwise, when they grow up, the heirs of the emperor will occasionally pay their respects. The most unfamiliar mother-son and mother-daughter affection.

Because it's just the birth of the baby, and they haven't been together day and night, so how can there be deep feelings?

Concubine Ma Jia can always think of the heir to the throne, but can the heir to the throne always think of her? I'm afraid that if I don't see him for a few days, he won't know who he is!
Every word and sentence was avoided and the pain was piercing. Compared to her being unable to give birth, who was in more pain?
Concubine Li had already let it go, but seeing the stupidity of the crown prince's biological mother, she still felt pity for her. It was a pity for the Fourth Prince to have such a confused and disobedient mother!
While others have found a way out, Concubine Ma Jia is still lost and doesn't know how to return.

Concubine Li felt pity for the abandoned Fourth Prince, or maybe she was resentful of the injustice of heaven! She didn't like it, and she didn't like it, so she just followed her heart and fought back against Concubine Ma Jia without any softness or hardness.

Concubine Ma Jia was not too happy when she heard this. Concubine Li was always sharp-tongued. When she wanted to be smooth, she could get along with everyone. Everyone should be grateful to her for her kindness.

But when he wants to make someone unhappy, his words are not like soft flowers, but like knives, piercing into people's hearts.

Concubine Ma Jia said indifferently, "The love between mother and son is the law of nature and human relations, and blood ties cannot be severed. The Queen is compassionate, and I will repay her with my life."

Could it be that if she doesn't raise the child, he is no longer her child?

Although Concubine Ma Jia was heartbroken that she could not raise her child, she had no choice but to accept her fate because of the palace rules.

Concubine Ma Jia was sad in her heart, but she refused to show it on her face.
