The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

"The Queen has made a good arrangement. It's perfect for the eldest and second princesses of Prince Gong to accompany her." Concubine Li first expressed her approval, but then frowned and said worriedly, "I'm afraid that the time is still short. It's a bit too sudden for the eldest princess of Prince Gong to enter the palace to be raised. Can the Qianxi Five Houses handle it?"

Concubine Li reminded gently. Since the birth of the heir, the palace would start to clean up the five Qiandong and five Qianxi residences two or three months in advance.

After all, this is where the royal heir lives, so everything has to be of the highest quality.

In the past few years, only two imperial princesses, the eldest and second princesses, have moved into the Qianxi Wusuo! The eldest princess used to live in the first residence, and the second princess lived in the second residence. Since Prince Gong's eldest princess was brought into the palace to be raised, it was impossible for her to live in the second residence with the second princess.

There is a shortage of children in the palace! It's not like there is no place for the princes and princesses to live, so why should they be squeezed together?

Everyone knew the situation and speculated that after entering the palace, Prince Gong's eldest daughter would live in the first or third of the five Qianxi residences.

Logically speaking, it is more likely that she should be the third one; after all, there is an order of seniority, and the eldest princess of Prince Gong is younger than the second princess, so she should be the invisible third princess in the palace! In the past, the eldest princess lived in the first house, and the second princess lived in the second house. According to the rules, it is appropriate for the third princess to live in the third house!
But Prince Gong's eldest daughter entered the palace suddenly, and the Emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict. The Empress and the people in the harem were unprepared. By the time they found out, the imperial edict had already been sent to Prince Gong's mansion.

Moreover, there were only two days left. What could be done in two days? It was not enough to repair the house, let alone clean up the three rooms. This was where the princesses lived during the previous emperor's reign. Later, the Imperial Household Department only took care of it every year. After all, it could not compare with a fine decoration.

The first residence, on the other hand, was where the eldest princess in the palace lived when she was still alive. The servants of the Imperial Household Department had also renovated it, but after the eldest princess died young, it was demolished or vacated.

In the future, the emperor's daughter will certainly be welcomed to live in. There are many taboos in the palace, so if this happens, the things left behind by the eldest princess will be unlucky.

But in fact, it is easier to clean the first residence than the third residence. This is one of the reasons why the concubines in the palace thought that Prince Gong's eldest daughter would live in the first residence after entering the palace.

But there are some taboos! How long has it been since the eldest princess died there? It must be left vacant for a year or two to dissipate the bad luck! This is also an invisible rule in the palace.

"You hit the nail on the head. I'm worried about this, too." The Empress smiled and said. The first thing would definitely not be pleasant to hear. Since the Emperor had issued an order to bring the eldest princess of Prince Gong into the palace to be raised, the Empress would certainly make sure she was properly arranged.

Besides, the eldest princess was brought into the palace to be raised, and she had the title of bringing blessings and longevity to the heirs. Since the empress had taken over, she might as well do her best! The eldest princess was different from the princes in the palace. The heirs of the princesses all took the empress as their legitimate mother, and the same was true for Prince Gong's eldest princess.

But the difference is that Prince Gong's eldest princess is not only the adopted daughter of the emperor and the empress, she is also a princess from Prince Gong's mansion. Behind her, stand Prince Gong and Prince Gong's mansion.

The Queen had to give face to Prince Gong's Mansion. She was just well-raised and married to Mongolia by imperial decree. It was nothing! She was not a threat to the Queen.

It's just that it's difficult to raise a child in the palace. Even if the empress wants to protect her, there will be people who will take action. Therefore, the empress cannot be too lenient or too harsh with the eldest princess of Prince Gong's mansion.

"I have already ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the three rooms first!" The Queen made up her mind to clean up the three rooms, which would be the residence of Prince Gong's eldest daughter. The Queen smiled and said, "As for Prince Gong's eldest daughter, I have discussed with Concubine Niuhulu and decided to let her live with Concubine Niuhulu for a while. It just so happens that Prince Gong's eldest daughter is about to enter the palace, and I am afraid she will not adapt to the new place. Concubine Niuhulu is careful and cautious. With her taking care of Prince Gong's eldest daughter, Your Majesty and I will feel more at ease. After some time, when the West Three Rooms are repaired, the eldest daughter will be moved there." Pupils trembled!!! Whether it was the old people in the palace or the new concubines, they were all extremely shocked by this sudden news.

They even wanted to look at each other in dismay. Concubine Niuhulu had never had any children, and they were used to it and accepted it. They just thought that this was how Concubine Niuhulu's life would be. Although she was noble, she had no children to take care of her.

Especially since Prince Gong's eldest princess came from Prince Gong's Mansion, although she was only the emperor's adopted daughter and there was a layer of separation between them, she was much more precious than the imperial princesses in the palace, and the blood relationship could not be severed. As long as Prince Gong was the head of Prince Gong's Mansion and the eldest princess's father was in charge, the eldest princess would always have the invisible helper of Prince Gong's Mansion standing behind her.

Prince Gong was the biological son of the previous emperor, and a prince of the royal family personally appointed by the emperor. The power of Prince Gong's mansion was there. Everyone just thought that even if the eldest princess needed someone to take care of her temporarily, the Empress in the Central Palace was there.

But I didn’t expect there would be changes.

How could the Queen push this help away? Or push it to Concubine Nianhulu? This is like white rain from the sky. Everyone must think that they have poor hearing, hearing problems, and are all hallucinating?

Concubine Niuhulu usually didn't talk, but when it was mentioned at this moment, she smiled and responded dignifiedly, "Don't worry, Queen, I will take good care of the eldest princess during this period of time."

Concubine Niuhulu is a person who can do anything. She will do it if she agrees. She doesn't need to be modest. She is just taking care of a big princess. She should take care of her for the time being. Is Concubine Niuhulu afraid that she can't take good care of her?

To Concubine Niuhulu, it was just a trivial matter.

The queen nodded and smiled, as if they were close sisters from the same family. "I am at ease with you doing the job. I will leave Prince Gong's eldest daughter to you. Please spend more time and effort to move her from Prince Gong's mansion to the palace. I am mainly worried that Prince Gong's eldest daughter will not be able to adapt, and the child will not be able to adapt, so she will cry a lot."

"Yes." Concubine Niuhulu lowered her head slightly and responded with a smile.

"Well, if there is nothing else, you can leave first!" The Queen looked at everyone and said. Then she looked at Concubine Nianhulu: "You have a plan for everything about the eldest princess, so I won't give you too many instructions. The eldest princess of Prince Gong is in a hurry to enter the palace, and there are many trivial matters. You go back and arrange them first. Tomorrow, the palace will arrange people to bring the eldest princess to the palace and hand her over to you." The Queen smiled again and said: "Since she is temporarily raised by you, you should also send a few people to pick up the eldest princess tomorrow. Let's get familiar with her."

"The Queen is very thoughtful," Concubine Niuhulu said with a smile, "Let Nanyan and Lin Yinliang go together tomorrow."

A senior palace maid and a eunuch in charge, it can be said to be very serious!
