The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

"Oh, right," Qin Rou was thinking aimlessly about something that had nothing to do with her, but Aunt Chen suddenly asked in a low voice, "Does Concubine still remember that the eldest princess of Prince Gong suddenly came to the palace to raise her?"

Qin Rou raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Chen suddenly when she heard this. Aunt Chen brought this up suddenly. Did she hear the news?
"On the day when the Second Princess fell ill, Princess Gulun Xingping and Princess Gulun Shuhui went to visit on behalf of the Empress Dowager. During the conversation, they mentioned that the royal family had committed some crime in recent years. In terms of offspring, they were not as good as Emperor Taizong. For a long time, Emperor Taizong only had one prince, but at least he was born to the first wife."

"During the time of the previous emperor, although it was difficult to have an heir, at your age, you still have three princes. Although none of them are very strong, they are not all weak and sickly."

"When it comes to the emperor, it is a complete combination of the difficulties of Emperor Taizong and the previous emperor in having children," the implication is that the prince is not of high birth and is not very strong. At this point, Aunt Chen paused, and then continued calmly, saying: "Princess Gulun said that in the end it is because the concubines did not give birth well. The concubines in the emperor's harem are all weak. The heirs born from their humble bodies are not as healthy as those born from Manchu and Mongolian concubines, nor as noble as them. As a result, the princes are also sickly when they are born. The royal princes and princesses are implicated like this!"

Aunt Chen knew that the concubine would not vent her anger on others, and she might not even be able to be harsh, but she was also worried. No one would be in such a good mood. She was slapped on the left cheek and still not allowed to be angry.

A sudden disaster! A slap in the face from a distance, slapping everyone; Princess Gulun Xingping can speak! Awesome!

Qin Rou admired her. If she didn't have a mother with such a noble status, she would have been beaten to death and died in excruciating pain.

Qin Rou knew that concubines were lowly, but she didn't expect to be scolded. I can only say that Princess Gulun Xingping is indeed noble!

Qin Rou couldn't say she wasn't angry. She was angry, okay? So what if she was a noble princess? She had no sense of duty at all. She came back to the palace and still spoke without restraint. Did she really think the palace was still the same as when his father was so powerful?
"What does this have to do with the eldest princess of Prince Gong entering the palace!" Qin Rou didn't understand. Princess Gulun Xingping was outspoken. What did this have to do with the eldest princess of Prince Gong? How did it come to the point where the eldest princess of Prince Gong's mansion was adopted into the palace as an heir? Unprovoked disaster, okay?
Princess Gulun Xingping said something wrong, even if she wanted to find the culprit, she couldn't find it in Prince Gong's mansion! Could it be that Princess Gulun Xingping was colluding with Prince Gong's mansion? Otherwise, Qin Rou really couldn't think of any reason to blame Prince Gong for Princess Gulun Xingping's wrong words.

"This is what the Grand Empress Dowager meant." Aunt Chen replied, "I heard that when the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager ordered the Imperial Observatory to calculate the birth dates for the Emperor's prince and princess, because Prince Yu and Prince Gong also had difficulty in having children, the Emperor ordered the Imperial Observatory to calculate the birth dates for Prince Yu's eldest princess, Prince Gong's eldest prince, and Prince Gong's eldest princess at the same time!"

Qin Rou's eyes flickered. So the problem lies in the horoscope? Nine times out of ten! Qin Rou was not in a hurry to ask. Aunt Chen was used to it and continued, "The eldest princess of Prince Gong's Mansion has a good horoscope of protecting and bringing up her younger brothers and sisters, and bringing them blessings and longevity. At that time, the Empress Dowager wanted to take the eldest princess of Prince Gong's Mansion to the Emperor to raise her!"

As for why it didn't work out, it was probably because something went wrong with Emperor Kangxi. But how long had it been since then, and after all the twists and turns, the eldest princess of Prince Gong was still adopted into the palace?

Forgive her for not believing in the horoscopes of birth and witchcraft. She was born under the red flag. To her, it was too far-fetched. She could not believe it. Was there really such a thing as horoscopes of birth? And were there really such strange horoscopes?
In the future, metaphysics has become a niche track, and everyone believes in science more! Qin Rou found it a little difficult to understand, but Aunt Chen's serious look told her that this was the reason.

But Qin Rou couldn't believe that Emperor Kangxi would let Princess Gulun Xingping off so easily because of her bad words. Even if the Empress Dowager came forward in person, could Kangxi really be tolerant out of filial piety?
Princess Gulun Xingping pointed at the emperor's nose and cursed that the heirs were born of humble bodies, implying that the heirs were born of humble origins and were weak and sickly. This was almost a curse that the heirs would not live long. Which emperor was so magnanimous and did not bear grudges! Kangxi?

Qin Rou couldn't figure it out, but Concubine Dong Shu looked unhappy. She had been in a bad mood since yesterday, and it continued until today. She was still in a bad mood!
"Prince Gong's eldest daughter is being taken care of by Concubine Niuhulu, who can naturally take good care of her..." And her second daughter is in the Qianxi Wusuo, and I don't know if the servants are serving her attentively. Even though Concubine Dong Shu has been rewarded from time to time, no one really cares about her all the time, so who knows how sincere the nannies are.

The Emperor's adopted daughter is safe! But what about his biological daughter? Did the Emperor know that his biological daughter, his second daughter, lives in insecurity all the time?

Since Concubine Nianhulu could raise the eldest daughter of Prince Gong, why couldn't she raise the second daughter?
Concubine Dong's tears spread in her heart and flowed in her eyes, but she didn't dare let them fall.

"Empress Nianhulu is extremely prudent in her actions. Even though she has never given birth, she takes care of the royal heir in a thorough and steady manner. She doesn't seem like someone who has never raised a child before." The servant beside Concubine Dong also said.

Concubine Niuhulu was a noble lady who was trained to become the empress. Not to mention taking care of the royal heir, even if she had to take care of the royal heir and manage the palace affairs, Concubine Niuhulu could do it well.

She was born to be trained in this way.

I can see that Concubine Dong is unhappy. She has been in a bad mood since yesterday, but I will not discuss anyone with Concubine Dong! Walls have ears.

"Empress Nianhulu is very smart. She can learn anything quickly. Once she gets the hang of it, she becomes an expert." Another servant at the side quickly responded.

"The noble ones are always smart," Concubine Dong whispered. Was she sad? She was still sad! But she knew it was useless to be sad. It would not bring her anything. She had to think about it carefully if she wanted to get something done. Even if she had to get something done, how should she get it done? How should she plan for Ergege?

After receiving the news that Concubine Nianhulu was leaving Kunning Palace with Prince Gong and his eldest daughter, the Emperor also informed them of the news. However, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Everyone in the harem is used to it and has always cared about the Empress's reputation. It is rare that they fail to protect her.

Therefore, Kangxi had dinner with the empress in the Kunning Palace, and then took a nap together. He went back only after waking up from the nap.
