The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Everyone left Kunning Palace together. There were quite a lot of people, especially Qin Rou, who was in a special period. Regardless of their purpose, whether to congratulate her or with bad intentions, there were quite a lot of people who came to her side.

They were all smiling and greeting her as they congratulated her. They were all very kind people and were careful not to disturb her. However, as they were talking around her, there were noises from all directions and it was really noisy.

Qin Rou looked at the good-tempered concubine who was pushed out in front of her, with a cold expression, and said lightly: "I'm tired!"

So get out of the way.

The concubine blushed, and was caught off guard, so she couldn't react quickly enough, and she stammered, "Ah! ...Okay!"

She quickly moved aside and walked away. She wasn't blocking the road at first, she was just walking with him, trying to get closer.

Now she has not achieved her goal and has offended people. She is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. This is her.

She also heard from others that Concubine Nara was now pregnant and could not serve the emperor. For the sake of offspring, favor, or her own interests, she might support a pawn to ascend to the throne.

This is the possibility that the concubine wants to seize.

It is not uncommon for the palace to form alliances with each other. Offspring are important; favor is also important. You can't give up favor for offspring!
Without love and protection, she doesn't even have the ability to protect her offspring, let alone enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren in the future.

Unfortunately, Qin Rou had never thought of this, and she was too lazy to do it. To put it bluntly, she used to be fearless and didn't take these concubines seriously.

Moreover, now that she is pregnant, she will not get close to them. People's hearts are hidden behind their belly, and it is hard to tell whether they are human or ghost. If someone outside wants to hurt you, they need to work hard; if someone close to you wants to hurt you, they may only need to push you gently.

Qin Rou is stupid, that's why she wants to be close to them.

She was not afraid of offending people before; now she is even more unscrupulous. She is afraid of nothing except the people above her, and there is no one she must worship.

After finally returning to Zhenshunzhai, Qinrou finally relaxed. Sitting on the couch beside the bed, hugging a pillow in her hand, she said tiredly, "Headache!"

Qin Rou couldn't help rubbing her temples. Nothing big happened today, but there were so many people in the room, and so many concubines, all talking to each other. Just one word of congratulation from each person was enough to give her a headache.

It was like a thousand ducks were quacking in her ears, but she couldn't yell at them to stop, nor could she take any action. She was tired both physically and mentally, and with so much noise lingering in her ears, she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

Aunt Chen took over and gently rubbed Qin Rou's temples to make her feel more comfortable, then she spoke softly and slowly, "The concubine is pregnant. Such a happy event will make the palace lively. The concubine just needs to keep a normal mind. After a few days, it will naturally be less lively."

There are still many things the concubines in the harem can do. They may not have access to medicine, but a word from you or from me can harm the fetus.

After all, it is not uncommon for people to hurt themselves due to emotional instability in the palace. After a few days, seeing that there was no effect, and unable to continue the excitement by taking advantage of the good news of the concubine's pregnancy, the atmosphere naturally cooled down.

Until then, there's no need to worry anymore.

Qin Rou smiled, and there was a hint of tiredness in that smile. On the one hand, the group of people were noisy, and on the other hand, Qin Rou felt that everyone had bad intentions. She had to think about the meaning behind every word and sentence they said. How could she not have a headache?
Qin Rou knew that Aunt Chen was comforting her and offering advice. It is human nature to become arrogant when one is in power, especially for those who are shallow and have never experienced any experience. Once a person becomes arrogant, mistakes will come from within.

After ten months of pregnancy, mother and child are one body. If something happened to the mother, it would be normal for her to harm the heir in her belly, right?

Who says that making a pregnant woman unhappy is not the best way to hurt the dragon?

What's more, there is a scapegoat.

I don’t have the ability to protect the royal heir!
Qin Rou didn't think so. She was just stunned for a moment. Although she had been diagnosed yesterday, Qin Rou still felt a little like she was in a dream. She also brought it out. Qin Rou smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Suddenly, it was like a dream."

When she woke up from the dream, she was still herself, she was still not pregnant, nothing had changed.

Aunt Chen's strength and frequency did not change, and she spoke even more softly, "The emperor's arrival was sudden, but we have made preparations. After eight months, the concubine will definitely have a plump little prince or princess."

Otherwise, how can we say that Aunt Chen is omnipotent? She felt Qinrou's sense of unreality and actually comforted her with her words. Pregnancy may not be real, but after eight months, there must be a chubby little prince or princess, and it suddenly fell into reality.

How can there be any illusion in dreams?

Aunt Chen was good at comforting people, and Qin Rou smiled. In the evening, Kangxi sent a young eunuch to deliver a small sword that had not been sharpened.

Qin Rou had never played with it before, but she liked it so much that she held it for a long time before putting it down again. In the following days, she took it out to play from time to time.

Because she liked it, the servants did not keep it, but placed it in the study so that it was convenient for the concubine to take it.

Some things are destined to have an unchangeable ending. Qin Rou didn't want to be pregnant, but when the new life settled in her belly and began to grow, she couldn't bear to be cruel or become the executioner. She even tried to be a qualified mother in her opinion and officially entered the life of nurturing the fetus.

In fact, the pregnancy life was not difficult! She had people to take care of everything. After she became pregnant, she had four maids, four palace maids, and gossipy eunuchs to serve her. She had everything she wanted, including food and delicious food. When she visited her in the morning and evening, other concubines would flatter her and make her happy in various ways.

From time to time, the emperor would send her some exquisite golden cicadas, toads and other finely crafted gadgets to relieve her boredom! Free and easy, all Qinrou needed to do was to maintain a good mood so that the royal heir in her belly could grow safely.

Needless to say, the servants around her, especially the maids sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were all good at taking care of pregnant women. They were in charge of everything from food to clothing. But perhaps because of Aunt Chen, or because Qinrou was favored, and because Kangxi looked after her from time to time, they were very sensible. Even if there was something that could not be done, they would carefully mention it to Aunt Chen and Qinrou, making sure that they did not overstep the boundaries, did not make Qinrou unhappy, and fulfilled their duties.

Qinrou was pregnant for the first time. Apart from her changing tastes, she was not really troubled. She lived a comfortable life, so comfortable that she even doubted whether this was the imperial palace. In the end, it really didn't matter. The so-called concubines stopped flattering her and making empty promises. Qinrou had some peace and quiet for a while, and lived a more comfortable life.

As for the royal heir in the womb, imperial physicians would come from time to time to check his pulse.

It’s all for the safety of the royal heir!
