The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

The rain in the sky has stopped, but the rain is still flowing on the tiles in the courtyard. Some people can't wait any longer. They can't stay in Kunning Palace forever. They don't want to stay here forever, unless they become the masters of this place. This is simply wishful thinking! They dare not do this even in their dreams.

None of the empresses who were enthroned during the Qing Dynasty had a bad family background.

I have strayed off topic. The rain stopped and the concubines left in twos and threes. As the air was still a little chilly, many of them put on cloaks, and servants held umbrellas on one side. Even if there was still a little wind and rain, they would not be blown or wet. However, some of them did not bring anything with them, perhaps they forgot to bring it, but they did not ask the servants to look for it.

Concubine Li was served by Zhichun, and Concubine Dong was served by a personal maid. She seemed to have recovered, but no one knew. She still couldn't see pregnant women. When she saw a pregnant woman, she would think of Ergege. She didn't allow herself to get close to Concubine Hada Nara.

Concubine Li said something to Qin Rou, smiling calmly, without any jealousy, generous and open, as if she was just saying it to someone she knew. "Then we will prepare to go back, Concubine Nara."

Qin Rou was also served by the servants. She was about to leave, but she was not in a hurry. In such weather, it was safest to walk in the front or the back. She couldn't walk in the front, but it was not bad to walk a little later.
Qin Rou didn't reply, but just looked at Li Shufei. She and Li Shufei weren't that familiar with each other! They met almost twice a day, morning and evening. They met privately, but Qin Rou's attitude was very clear. She didn't need friends, because there were no friends in the palace. She didn't want to gamble on the evil of human nature, so it was better to keep a distance from everyone.

Before Qin Rou could reply, a palace maid from Kunning Palace came up to Qin Rou, bowed, and then said, "The Master has something to tell the concubine."

Qin Rou heard this, and the nanny helped Qin Rou turn around and bowed to the queen outside the palace to show respect. She didn't know what the queen said, no matter what it was! She just listened. Li Shufei and Dong Shufei beside them slowed down their movements without leaving any trace, and walked slowly down. The queen's words of instruction were probably only a few sentences, and even if they walked a few steps, they could hear every word.

The Queen only gave a few common instructions, nothing shameful. The palace servant said, "It just rained, and the ground is slippery. A concubine is not like other people, and she has many inconveniences because she is pregnant. When serving her, the servants must be more careful than usual. The imperial physician handed over a pulse request, and the Queen approved it, and it will be today."

There are only two pregnant women and one about to give birth in the palace now. The queen does not need to worry too much. If something happens in her own palace, it will be her own fault. As long as it is not caused by the palace people, the queen can sit back and relax. However, since Concubine Nara came to pay her respects, the queen can't help but be more careful and give her more instructions!
Qin Rou nodded slightly. Today was the time for the imperial physician to check the pulse of the pregnant concubines. In order to take care of the pregnant concubines, in fact, mainly to see whether the heir was healthy or not, the imperial physicians would submit memorials to the empress every now and then, asking for permission to enter the palace to check the pulse of the pregnant concubines. This was the duty of the imperial physicians. If they were lazy and something went wrong with the heir, the imperial physicians would be held accountable.

Of course, pregnant concubines would always ask the empress to summon the imperial physician, and the empress would generally not refuse. As I said before, the heir to the throne was the most important thing, and the empress would generally not embarrass her reputation or mess with her reputation. But the empress did have the right to refuse, it all depended on whether she wanted to.

The palace maid bowed again and then left.

Concubine Dong and Concubine Li were several meters apart when Qin Rou turned around. The servants continued to serve her, holding umbrellas and escorting her back to the palace. God was kind to Qin Rou. She walked carefully back to Zhen Shun Zhai from Kunning Palace, taking twice as long as usual, but there was no sudden downpour that would have soaked her to the bone.

The servants were waiting, and even the stove was lit. It was still a little cold because of the cold weather. There was also warm soup to prevent colds, which Qinrou could drink as soon as she entered the room. The imperial physician had not arrived yet, and it was probably blocked by the heavy rain. Qinrou was not feeling unwell, so please check her pulse and don't worry about it for the time being.

But now the rain has stopped, and it should be here soon. The imperial doctors rarely delay, and Qin Rou is not in a hurry. A group of servants are around her, and they are relieved when everything is ready. Aunt Chen said, "I saw it raining, and I knew that the concubine was taking shelter in Kunning Palace, and she will come back when the rain stops."

Pregnant women are more sensitive and fragile than ordinary people. It is no small matter if the wind and cold enter their bodies. Some herbs are either cold in nature or can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so they are forbidden to be used by pregnant women. Therefore, once a pregnant woman gets sick, it is more difficult for ordinary people to recover. It is better to cut off the source.

Both Madam Ba and Madam Liu were attentive, especially Madam Liu, who liked to show off. Although it was a bit trivial, it was not without benefit. As for the rain on the property, it was unwise for the concubine to come back in the rain. The servants were going to be punished, so how could they not serve her attentively?

"Not only me, the other concubines also waited until the rain stopped before leaving." Qin Rou replied casually. She was also very careful about her body, but the other concubines also took shelter from the rain, so it was a bit strange that they waited until the rain stopped before leaving. Not every concubine in the palace could afford to get sick or hire a doctor, but there were always some who didn't care.

For example, Li Shufei and Nara Shufei of Yanxi Palace were not treated unfairly, they just asked for an imperial physician. How could they not dare to submit it? After submitting it, the queen would still refuse it. Could it be that she was tactful and cautious? After all, if the imperial physician came a quarter of an hour earlier or a quarter of a hour later, the final life or death could be very different.

"That's good. The concubines can be company together. It's more lively. They can chat with each other to kill time. Listening to the rain hitting the ground, they won't be so irritated." Aunt Chen said. There are good and bad servants in Zhenshunzhai. The good thing is that they are all capable people. Aunt Chen only needs to focus on their abilities and use them to protect the concubines and the royal heirs.

The downside is that it is not so convenient to talk, and you have to take more detours to avoid being caught by others. But it doesn't matter, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Qin Rou listened, and for a moment something flashed through her mind? Lively? Company? When did the palace like lively things? Especially in Kunning Palace, the Queen's bedroom, everyone in the palace was best at being cautious in what they said and did, especially in Kunning Palace. If you said a wrong word, you would be a chicken delivered to the Queen to establish her authority.

When there is a clear distinction between high and low status, those in lower positions will choose stupid methods, be careful in what they say and do, and avoid making mistakes!

It is normal to hide from the rain in silence and not to say much. When the rain stops, leave quickly. You can even go back in the rain!
But contrary to their usual behavior... they did it on purpose.

What I said and did were all intentional. I said those words intentionally because little Li Shufei, little Li Shufei would die, not now. The truth is hidden in the false, the truth is mixed in the false, and that is the truth I want to show others.

Is it cold? Yes! A person cannot escape the calculations set for her before and after death. Who will be the next Little Li Shufei? (End of this chapter)
