The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 392 Just Don’t Make Mistakes

The servants helped with dressing and combing hair. In fact, being favored meant having a good life. Qin Rou looked at herself in the mirror. She had three earrings in one ear and was rich and prosperous. It was obvious that she was well taken care of.

If she had not been in the royal family, if she had not been favored, she would not have been able to live such a rich and luxurious life. She was beautiful and in her prime, which was the best time of her life.

Xiaoman gently put on the last gold-inlaid pearl earring for the concubine, which made her makeup complete. After finally helping the concubine to look her best, Xiaoman stepped back and let the concubine take a look at the effect and see if there was anything that needed to be changed. Although they served her closely, they were just servants after all, and the master's preferences were the most important.

Kangxi was also very satisfied. She wore a light purple palace dress, a golden hairpin, simple gold-inlaid pearl earrings, and three clips in one ear. She was elegant and elegant, yet also had a hint of simplicity. She was not a talkative person. Although she had a pair of fox-like eyes, her eyebrows were obscured, and only occasionally could you see the beauty in them. When her eyes were full, they were the most beautiful!

Kangxi praised with satisfaction: "Not bad, the servant beside Rou'er is really good at combing her hair, and has a good eye."

Kangxi didn't care much about him because he was just a servant. But if he did a good job, he would praise him. If he was even more pleased, he would reward him with some gold, silver and toys.

Qin Rou also looked at the figures standing and sitting in the mirror, leaning against each other. The world is stable and the years are quiet. It seems that this is how it should be. It seems that after being with someone for a long time, there will always be such an illusion. We just lost to time and were changed silently. We also lost to ourselves, and actually gave birth to the illusion of tenderness!

Xiaoman bowed her head and bowed, then stepped aside. Qinrou was not very good at handling things, but Aunt Chen and Fushun were never easy to deal with, especially Aunt Chen. Her methods of training servants were accumulated and enriched through years of experience.

After Aunt Chen came to power, the first lesson she taught them was to say in a calm tone: To be a servant, ability and character are important, but neither is the most important. The most important thing is loyalty!
No master will employ a disloyal person, let alone a master dare to employ him.

What is loyalty? This is too broad. It is a taboo to step on the master to get to the top. The master has not said anything, but you are capable and you are trying to gain face in front of the emperor by stepping on the master's face.

Therefore, Xiaoman did not dare to speak. The emperor praised her casually, saying that she was busy with all kinds of affairs all day and diligent in government affairs. After praising her, he no longer remembered her as a servant.

Xiaoman wants to compete and is ambitious, but it depends on the master and the person. The emperor has so many concubines in the harem, and whether life is easy or not depends on ability. Xiaoman doesn't dare!
Qin Rou was distracted for a moment and turned her head slightly. Although she did not see Emperor Kangxi's face, she only saw the magnificent golden dragon on the bright yellow dragon robe. Qin Rou was also very satisfied and praised: "Xiao Man and Aunt Chen's craftsmanship is good!"

She didn't hate people standing out, but no matter who it was, being a stepping stone for others to use would be unhappy. Xiaoman always kept to herself at this time, saving her trouble! Qinrou was satisfied that she didn't cause any trouble.

Of course, if Xiaoman wanted to get close to Kangxi, she would not stop him. Let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others. Whoever enters the harem knows that it is a good place.

Aunt Chen and Xiaoman were responsible for Qinrou's personal tasks, such as dressing, bathing, and combing her hair. After all, she was not as good as the ancients. If she were really considered a eunuch, she would be nothing more than a slave and an object. The eyes in the eyes of the slaves and eunuchs were just ornaments.

"I also want to thank the emperor," Qinrou glanced at Aunt Chen and thanked him. She had to be grateful to him for everything. Qinrou knew what was good and what was bad. Whether it was the life surrounded by servants and serving her, or Aunt Chen, it was all given to her by Kangxi.

When you drink water, remember the person who dug the well! The country and the school have taught her to remember kindness and grudges.

"Your thanks are just words." Kangxi stretched out his big hands in front of Qinrou, saying this, but he didn't seem really angry. It was just like he was joking.

Qin Rou was even less worried. She stretched out her hand and placed it on Kangxi's big palm. She stood up with Kangxi's strength and did not argue. She responded lightly: "It's my fault."

She admitted her mistake without panic, perhaps it really fits the saying that those who are favored are fearless. It is a miracle that one can tell whether a person favors you by his sixth sense. She admitted her mistake as if it was as simple as accepting a hairpin. It was no big deal.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished?" Kangxi pulled her up, as if he didn't care. But when it comes from the emperor's mouth, it always makes people wonder if he is suspicious of something?
"You're not afraid, are you?" Qin Rou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then replied. She was not afraid! To be honest, if you are fearless, you are not afraid. She is alone, and there is nothing to care about except herself, so she doesn't feel afraid.

The main thing is that Kangxi's attitude is good. This doesn't look like he is angry. When the emperor is angry, blood will flow. However, the emperor is very happy! It is also the best time to get promoted and make money.

She was determined not to get promoted or make money! But when he was not angry, the emperor would not care about the slightest mistake, no matter how big it was.

Qin Rou didn't tell him the specific reason, and Kangxi didn't ask. He took Qin Rou to the main hall and said to her, "Today we are hosting a banquet for Princess Xingping and Princess Shuhui. We need to show respect to our distinguished guests, so you should dress more grandly!"

It is a custom of the Manchus to wear three earrings in one ear. After entering the Western Regions, Manchu noble ladies also learned from the Han people to wear one earring in daily life, but on grand festivals or when welcoming distinguished guests, wearing three earrings in one ear is a sign of nobility and honor, and is the warmest courtesy.

Qinrou is usually used to wearing one earring in one ear, which is not troublesome, simple and does not feel heavy. However, when welcoming distinguished guests or on important festivals, wearing three earrings in one ear is the best choice for Manchu noble ladies.

Qin Rou listened quietly, pondering over the words, showing respect to distinguished guests? Princess Gulun Xingping... Princess Gulun Shuhui, the two princesses, in the eyes of the emperor, are now the princesses of the Qing Dynasty, but they are also the princesses of the Mongolian tribe, and are the bond between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty!

Nature is even more of a distinguished guest.

Hearing the music, one can understand the elegant meaning! In Kangxi's eyes, these two princesses were more like distinguished guests from the Mongolian tribe.

At this age, with many children and grandchildren, the two princesses are even more like princesses of the Mongolian tribe!

Those who love me will never be able to defeat those whom I love! This is an iron-blooded fact and an iron rule.

"I am thinking that the palace will hold a banquet today to entertain the two eldest princesses. Although I don't have to do anything, I should still show respect and welcome them with the best attitude. I should not lose my dignity, follow the rules, and avoid making mistakes." Qin Rou said lightly.

She just wanted to ask for nothing to go wrong. Even if something went wrong, it shouldn't be her fault, and it would have nothing to do with her!
Even if the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up.

That would be a good result.

She is a concubine, although humble, but humble enough, few people can cause trouble for her. After all, a noble person cannot lower her status, right?

However, there are some surprises. Princess Gulun Xingping and Princess Gulun Shuhui also have families. When they enter the palace, we don’t know what their temperaments are.

Qin Rou pondered over it, and temporarily forgot about the discomfort she felt while walking.
