The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

"Don't think too much." Kangxi lowered his head and lightly scratched Qinrou's nose. A smile appeared between his sharp eyebrows, and it seemed that he really didn't care about this issue.

Qin Rou was not some god who could see through people's hearts. She could only believe what Kangxi said. It was impossible to say that all her doubts were gone, but she would not be so ignorant as to delve deeper into this issue.

Kangxi was not some kindhearted man! He was first and foremost an emperor. This throne and this position determined that the number of people he could care about would be few, not many.

Speaking of princes and princesses, Kangxi must prefer princes. The number of princes is related to the stability of his country to a certain extent. The political significance is different, and this is what Kangxi cares about most.

Therefore, for him, the distinction between the prince and the princess was already made from the very beginning of their gender. Kangxi cared about the princess, but not that much; just like Kangxi cared about the prince, but at most he was a little more concerned and didn't pay much attention to it.

Therefore, the premature death of the royal heir may not be without this reason.

His first priority now was to be a wise ruler. More precisely, he wanted to control the rights and the world that an emperor should control. There is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two rulers in a country! Or, how could the emperor allow others to snore beside his bed?

To put it bluntly, Kangxi may not be intolerant of other voices in the court, but this voice must know when to stop. In less formal terms, Kangxi allowed court officials to object and hold opposing opinions. However, once the emperor made a decision, it had to be implemented.

No matter whether the court officials originally opposed or obeyed, the most important thing at this moment was to carry out his orders and complete his orders in the shortest time possible so as not to delay his great cause.

Therefore, it was destined that Kangxi would not spend too much time on the harem. The current situation in the harem was stable enough and Kangxi did not need to spend too much time on it.

Of course, now that the number of heirs is unusually low and the emperor is unstable, Kangxi will intervene, just like the fifth prince Baoqing was raised by the trusted ministers of the bannermen.

Therefore, he was hoping to be a prince. To protect a concubine, the most important thing is to protect her children. This is the simplest thing in Kangxi's favor.

Whether from the perspective of the emperor's interests or from the perspective of the concubines in the harem, Kangxi hoped that this would be a prince.

But if it was really a princess as Qinrou said, Kangxi would be a little disappointed, but he would not be disappointed. It would be fine if she was a princess, just pamper her more.

He and she, they! It can't be that there is only this one child.

So Kangxi was very happy. This was the child he had been waiting for for a long time, and now there was finally a sign of it. No matter if it was a prince or a princess, as long as it was born, there would always be a few brothers and sisters in the future.

Kangxi's eyes were smiling, and it was easy to sense the emperor's happiness. Happiness is contagious, and when you see others happy, it is hard to be unhappy unless you are in a very bad mood.

Qinrou leaned softly in Kangxi's arms. On behalf of her child, at this moment, she truly felt that Kangxi, the emperor father, was looking forward to the child in her belly and was happy to welcome Him!

The harem was originally quiet, but a second princess had just died in the palace. How could they, how dare they, be happy? So they all tacitly chose to be quiet.

As Zhenshunzhai in Chengqian Palace was pregnant, the Emperor rushed there in person after hearing the news. The rewards from Kangxi, the Empress, and Concubine Nianhulu all arrived at Chengqian Palace one after another, and the concubines in the harem also became lively.

Apart from other things, you must prepare a gift! After preparing one, you must send it to Zhen Shun Zhai as soon as possible! If the hot stove can't keep up with the heat, then let alone good things, I'm afraid bad luck will be tainted.

Concubine Dong, even if everyone has the will, they are powerless. We are all ordinary people in this situation, so everyone should just take care of themselves!
They were sad for the second princess, but the concubine Nara was also carrying a royal heir, and they should be happy about the birth of a royal heir. No one cared about her!
Concubine Dong lived in Xianfu Palace. She was still sitting blankly beside the bed, just staring blankly and silently, shedding tears.

The servant beside her had served her for many years and was a member of her family. The servant followed her master, so he accompanied her silently and shared her sadness.

Concubine Dong just wanted to be sad, but the news from outside the Xianfu Palace still came. The master was busy being sad, and the servants serving her couldn't help but pay attention to the news outside, so the news that Concubine Nara was pregnant still reached the ears of the servants.

But now, looking at my master who is still crying, how can I bear it? When she has just lost a child, how can I bear to report to her that another concubine in the palace is pregnant, and they have to prepare gifts to congratulate her? How can I bear it!
The master will collapse... I am Concubine Dong's confidant, and I am quite intelligent. Things follow their masters. Concubine Dong is not stupid, so how could the servants she trained be so brainless and stupid?

The servant was confused for a moment and just took the basin of water. Then he sent the servant away and reminded the other servants to keep their mouths shut and not talk too much, otherwise they would be careful of gossip.

When the basin of water was brought in, the master was still sad, and kept crying. The tears flowed like rain. He was so sad that he couldn't stop himself. So the servant wrung out the handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face.

While wiping... Concubine Dong suddenly grabbed both sides of my arms with such force that it seemed to penetrate into my bones. Concubine Dong grabbed my arms and suddenly burst into tears. Her cries were filled with pain that penetrated deep into my bones. She wished she could fall into the abyss of heaven and earth, hell, and be with me forever.

Why should I stay in this world, why should I stay in this world!!!

At this moment, some people are happy while others are crying bitterly, as if the saying is true that people’s joys and sorrows are not shared.

Concubine Dong was in pain and crying, Qin Rou was also conflicted. Even though it was already night, there was an endless stream of servants from the palace coming to present gifts.

Afraid of a while at night.

Qin Rou was also struggling, struggling with the second princess who had just died today, and struggling with Concubine Dong. She often said she was cold, but she also had a soft side. Concubine Dong had lost her son, and logically, if Kangxi was by her side now, she would be relieved and a little happy.

But from a certain perspective, Kangxi was an emperor. Would he really care about the extreme grief of a concubine?
The emperor's happiness was genuine, and his joy did not seem fake. At this moment, Kangxi went to visit Concubine Dong in Xianfu Palace with this mood. Was he really trying to comfort Concubine Dong instead of adding fuel to the fire and making her even more sad?

I just happened to be childless, but my husband, the emperor of a country, is happy about the child of another concubine. How many people can bear such pain!

Qin Rou felt that she could bear it, as she was just a widower. When he died, he was a dead man. But if she were in Dong Shu's shoes, could she bear it?

Qin Rou was silent for a moment. Perhaps due to some mood, Qin Rou chose to remain silent. She did not mention the Second Princess or Concubine Dong in front of Kangxi.

Perhaps this is also a kind of indifference on her part! Or perhaps, it is not necessarily her kindness.

Perhaps this is often the case in human affairs! Sadness and joy exist together, but they are not the same.
