The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 448: They are all big-tailed wolves, why pretend to be good people
Listening to them finish speaking one by one and sighing one by one, they would mention little concubine Li and the royal heir in her belly from time to time!
He showed concern for the royal heir in a caring tone, and looked like a human being, very kind.

Qin Rou has a good temper. She has plenty of time and patience to spend with them. She has a good temper and will usually not care about them.

After patiently listening to everyone's words, Qin Rou said, "Little Concubine Li will definitely be very happy to know that you care so much about her and the heir in her belly."

Qin Rou sat at the lower right of the Queen, opposite her was Concubine Niu Hulu. This position had briefly belonged to Concubine Xiao Li when Concubine Ma Jia returned to Zhongcui Palace to take care of her pregnancy.

From the moment Qin Rou was diagnosed with pregnancy, since the only pregnant concubines who needed to pay respects in the palace were Concubine Xiao Li and her, she already belonged to her.

In the palace, Manchus and Mongols were ranked first, and Han people were ranked second. The concubines of the Manchu military banner were more valuable than those of the Han military banner, and this was reflected in all aspects.

For example, there are seating arrangements after pregnancy. Most of the concubines in Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji's harem are from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. There is also a hierarchy based on rank. For the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, the seating arrangements for concubines are based on the month of pregnancy.
During the time of the previous emperor, the Mongolian flag was the most powerful one. Therefore, among the eight banners of Manchu and Mongolia, the Mongolian flag was the most respected. The Manchu flag could only hold on with difficulty. It was wise to submit and submit. Otherwise, when the butcher's knife was raised and fell, who knows who would be the one to kill him tomorrow.

It was not until Kangxi came to power and selected concubines that the status of the Manchu military banner concubines in the harem began to rise sharply. There was no sign of one type dominating the harem, but there was a hidden tendency of them standing out from the crowd.

Qinrou rarely smiled, and it seemed as if she was not the one speaking. She said softly, "You are all good people. I vaguely heard people say that when a person gets a bit of care from others, he or she can share a bit of the good fortune of others. With your sincere concern and the good fortune you give voluntarily, Concubine Li is so popular, and the heir in her belly will be fine in a few days with your blessing and good fortune."

Qinrou's words were soft and gentle, without any aggression. But they made people's hearts ache. Blessings and fortunes are things that have no basis, cannot be seen or touched. They are said to exist if you believe in them, and not exist if you don't believe in them.
But there are quite a few people who believe in it. They feel like a thorn in their throats when they hear this. Even those who don't believe it are not very happy after hearing it. After all, there is still some belief in it in my heart. A gentleman does not talk about strange things.

They are not some great saints in the world! Everyone is an ordinary person among the masses, and they have all the evils that ordinary people have. The palace cannot accommodate good people, let alone pure good people. Good people who come in will not live long.

It really does fit the saying: The Forbidden City, which concentrates all the power in the world, is so majestic that only one glance can make people all over the world submit and stand in awe of it; however, the fate of those who walk out of and are raised in this palace is almost certain: good people do not live long, but evildoers leave their mark for thousands of years.

Every inch of the palace is filled with the souls of the unfortunate. Each has his own misfortune!
Therefore, in this golden and jade-built imperial palace, those who can survive are all evil people, especially big evil people.

Not harming others is a great virtue.

Ordinary people might help strangers, but they definitely wouldn't wish them a good life, let alone them! If these concubines really had good fortune, and used it to save their love rivals, they would be so angry!

Even if it was just a possibility, it would be enough to make them feel uneasy and upset.

They are all big-tailed wolves, why pretend to be good people? Qin Rou was disdainful, just wanting to step on the little concubine Li and the heir in the little concubine Li's belly to show off himself, sincere? I'm afraid there is not a single cent of it.

Not cursing is good enough.

Of course, I also wanted to disgust her! The best thing would be to piss her off so much that she would have a miscarriage. Without making a sound or bloodshed, I solved a competitor.

"This couldn't be better!" Concubine Yehenala said happily, as if she was completely happy for Concubine Li and the royal heir in her belly.

Otherwise, how could he be the one who laughs so hard?
Concubine Yehenala paused again, and asked with hesitation, "But maybe I am ignorant and have never heard of this statement. Concubine Nara, where did you hear it from?" Concubine Yehenala was smart and would not question it openly, but she had already dug a trap without saying a word. One had to be careful when speaking in the palace, otherwise any word would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

At this point, even if it is not dead, most of its skin will be shed and it will be half dead.

Qin Rou has always known that Concubine Yehenala is quite scheming. Moreover, her relationship with Concubine Yehenala is quite different from other people's relationship with her.

As members of the same clan, Nara, they were naturally competing for resources. Their children were also naturally competing for Nara's support. Compared with other royal heirs, the ministers of the Nara clan would naturally pay attention to the royal heirs born to Nara's concubines first.

Concubine Yehenara already has Prince Baoqing, who is raised outside the palace and in Qinrou's belly. If he is a prince, he will inevitably have to share Prince Baoqing's resources in the support of the Nara clan.

If it was a princess, Concubine Yehenala would not be unable to accommodate her, unless Qinrou stopped raising her. Otherwise, she would only be a help to her brothers in the future, and would be a pressure on Prince Baoqing.

It will put Prince Baoqing in an unfavorable position.

As for supporting each other and being each other's pillars? Oh! The Empress Dowager could not tolerate the Eighth Prince of Consort Hai Lanzhu; Prince Yu's biological mother might not tolerate the Fourth Prince of Consort Dong E either;
Similarly, in history, the younger sons of Concubine Guo Luoluo and Concubine Ping both died young and could not be raised.

The harem struggle was one of the reasons, but the intolerance of Concubine Yi and the prince might also account for half of it.

Qin Rou didn't take it to heart. She thought about it for a while and then replied coldly, "I heard my nanny mention it when I was young."

I want to punish her for deceiving the emperor, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't have the chance!
Moreover, there is such a saying among the people, but it is not very popular.

Life is difficult to survive, and natural disasters and man-made calamities can break the backbone of an entire family. Young children are difficult to raise, and when one is desperate and has nowhere to turn to, only such illusory things as praying to gods and asking for good luck can become the sustenance that supports the lower-class people from collapsing in their miserable lives and continuing to stand up.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer!
Sometimes, all it takes is one look at it with your own eyes to suddenly understand the bloody truth contained in this sentence.

The people at the bottom of society have never had an easy life; it’s just the difference between being worse and worse.

Sometimes, it is hard not to feel that I am unworthy of being a human being. When I see others suffering, I can only watch them suffer without being able to lend a helping hand.
How can we help? It’s not just one or two people who are suffering, it’s tens of millions of people! … Almost everyone is suffering.

The cleverness of Concubine Yehenala lies in that she didn't get to the bottom of the matter, as if she was just asking casually.

There were also some short-sighted people who continued to ask, "What about that servant?" But that had nothing to do with Concubine Yehenala.

Qin Rou said impatiently: "Do you want me to tell you my name, where I live, how many people are in my family, and what my personality is like? I will tell you everything. You have a keen ear and want to hear everything."
