The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

But if we want to know something, we may have to start from the people present.

The most likely place today was Qianxi Wusuo, after all, that was the only time when the most people gathered, including Kangxi, the Empress, Consort Niuhulu, and the two Princesses of the First Rank.

There was also a silent concubine, Consort Dong, who was still serving the Second Princess in the Qianxi Wusuo! She was also a party to the case.

In the situation of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, Concubine Dong is the breakthrough point left for the concubines in the harem. Qin Rou has also been thinking about this matter for a long time, should she inquire about it?

It's better to say it or not, but I'm still curious. When I'm curious, I want to know the reason. The key point is whether I can ask and whether I'm allowed to ask. And the most important thing is time, whether I can ask immediately.

That’s all a story for the future. Is Concubine Dong still in Qianxi Wusuo?

Prince Gong's wave of misfortune is like a bolt from the blue. What does it have to do with him? He was sitting at home when misfortune came from the blue.

Although the eldest princess of Prince Gong's mansion will also marry in the future, that will be fifteen or sixteen years later. Who dares to get involved in the muddy waters of the palace now? It is not certain whether the children who grow up there can survive to the future.

Even if Prince Gong's eldest daughter was adopted by Emperor Kangxi and became his adopted daughter, she would have been legitimately a Princess of the First Rank.

But for a child who may never grow up, it’s not a good thing.

In fact, when this imperial edict fell on Prince Gong Changning's head! It was like a bolt from the blue, and the world was spinning. Although the eldest princess was only a princess, she was also the first daughter of Prince Gong, and was born to the concubine Jin, who was favored by the prince. She was half a month older than the eldest prince of Prince Gong's concubine. With such a small difference in time, it can be said that these two little babies are the first children in Prince Gong's mansion. It is also a good omen that one boy and one girl, a son and a daughter, a son and a daughter.

As we all know, the first child is always a little different and is more loved by his parents. After all, human emotions are limited. If someone has already taken the position, later people can no longer squeeze in. So, if there are many children, they will become less and less valuable. Therefore, Prince Gong almost raised the eldest prince and the eldest princess, a boy and a girl, as twins, and doted on them very much.

Now, the emperor's brother has issued an imperial decree to bring his daughter to the palace. She will be a legitimate princess in the future. This is of course a good thing. But Prince Gong Changning knows the mess in the palace better. Do you really think that one prince and princess after another really died of illness?

Let me tell you a joke! See if anyone believes it.

Now that the girl is brought into the palace to be raised, do you think Chang Ning will think it is a good thing? He felt as if the sky had fallen for a moment, and then another thought was, why would the emperor's brother be thinking about the eldest princess for no reason? The emperor's brother also has a son and a daughter!
Let alone the other two, the Second Princess is older than the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and his eldest Princess. Isn't this the eldest sister in the true sense of the word?
The imperial edict has been issued, and it must not be ignored. Prince Gong grew up cautiously, and although the doubts were stuck in his heart, he still had to smile. This was an imperial edict, a gift, and he still had to go to the palace to express his gratitude.

When asked when the eldest princess would be sent to the palace, they said it would be in two days. Before the Empress Dowager's birthday, it would be on her birthday, so she could be vindicated.

Prince Gong also asked in a veiled way whether the palace was peaceful. His original words were: "It has been a long time since I last saw my brother's princes and princesses. I wonder if they have gained some weight?"

Prince Gong Changning was the emperor's younger brother, and he was not without brains. His political literacy was extraordinary. However, from the words "Princes and princesses have many twists and turns, add blessings and add longevity" in the imperial edict, he accurately hit the point of the matter. He grasped the key points and hit the pain points. Prince Gong was also a strong point.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict also understood what Prince Gong was trying to find out. Following the orders of the emperor was the instinct of a servant. Therefore, he did not seem to care much and said vaguely, "The princes are all fine, but unfortunately, the second princess fell ill today. The emperor, the empress, Consort Niuhulu, and Princess Gulun Xingping and Princess Gulun Shuhui all went to see her."

Prince Gong cares about his nephews and nieces! He didn't ask anything taboo. He conveyed the emperor's intention, and the eunuch who delivered the order also replied.

"The Second Princess is ill?" Prince Gong was very surprised. He handed the imperial edict to the steward of the palace and said anxiously, "Please wait a moment, Eunuch. My wife and I will go with you to the palace to thank our royal brother and take a look at the Second Princess. I don't know how much suffering she has suffered for this minor illness!" Not only did he have to go to thank his royal brother, but his wife also had to go to the palace to thank the Queen.

As for the minor illness of the Second Princess, it was not a big deal. If he had not known about it, Prince Gong Changning would not have had to go to the palace to visit her, which was against the rules. But now that he knew about it and had to go to the palace to express his gratitude, he had to do something.

Otherwise, turn back? Whatever happened, it was uncertain. He served the emperor, not just his brother. Prince Gong was in Qingming Festival, and he didn't care about comforting his concubine!

So Qin Rou and others received the news that Prince Gong Changning and his wife entered the palace soon after. Prince Gong was in the Emperor's Qianqing Palace, and after expressing his gratitude in the Qianqing Palace, Prince Gong's wife went to the Kunning Palace.

Qin Rou: “…”

She could probably guess why Prince Gong Changning entered the palace. Whether it was for political cultivation or for the eldest princess of Prince Gong's mansion, it was always related.

It's just the Second Princess! ... Qin Rou was silent for a moment. Maybe the mother wouldn't feel sorry for the child, but in this deep palace, the only one who would feel sorry for the child must be the mother. If the palace continued to maintain the status quo, the Second Princess would definitely be abandoned.

Sighing and lowering her eyelids, Qin Rou felt that it was extremely boring again. Those who had the power to change it did not care about the current situation in the palace; but those who were really worried were locked up in the deep palace, with high walls and deep walls, and it was just a fight of trapped beasts in the palace.

It was like a gnat trying to shake a tree, and it was not likely to be effective. The only thing left was a bloody corpse in the deep palace.

Qin Rou was no longer in the mood to copy books. Copying books is the worst thing to do when your mind is restless and uneasy. Such delicate work can ruin all the essence left by all your hard work with just one bad stroke.

Why bother to create more trouble for yourself?

Remove the pen.

Aunt Chen was waiting on the side, paying attention to the concubine's movements at any time. In just a moment, she stepped forward and took the pen from Qinrou's hand, lest the pen and ink ruin the concubine's hard work, and avoid staining the concubine's clothes.

Qin Rou clapped her hands, as if nothing had happened. Throughout history, emperors, especially concubines, were most taboo to be nosy. If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself. The most important thing is the latter sentence.

The latter sentence is the essence! If you are rich, not everyone can help the world, but if you are poor, you must take care of yourself. This is the rule of the deep palace!
She just felt a little depressed and annoyed!
My thoughts are in a mess. I won't waste good things. But I'm also used to digesting things by myself!

"Put it away!" Qin Rou said.

She had known this history for a long time, or perhaps she also knew that the Second Princess was not born with a long life. It was also natural that the Second Princess was not familiar with her, and she had only seen her once or twice from afar.

But when you are really in it, knowing the history and heading towards history, you still can't help but feel suffocated, and you can only keep the grievances in your heart and cannot express them directly.

How can I get better!
