The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 466: The Queen’s Kindness
Concubine Nala in the Yanx Palace, Concubine Li in the Qixiang Palace, and even Concubine Wanyan, were all busy and had to move.

The palace maids in the Empress' Kunning Palace and Yongshou Palace also checked the list of palace maids to be released from the palace at any time and anywhere.

The head palace lady and head eunuch Qin Rou of Chengqian Palace have only met each other a few times, and Aunt Chen and Fushun have visited each other frequently in recent days.

After all, we have to find out what list has been released from Chengqian Palace first.

There was also Li Dequan in the Qianqing Palace, where Qin Rou also put in a lot of effort. Apart from anything else, Aunt Chen was a good target for attack.

Logically speaking, Aunt Chen occupied the position of head nanny, and was registered under the name of the Qianqing Palace, under the general management of Li Dequan.

Don't let her take him away quietly.

Qin Rou doesn't admit it!
In short, whether it was Li Dequan in the Qianqing Palace or the palace maids and eunuchs in charge of the Chengqian Palace, all the news was good news.

Within two days, the list the Queen needed was compiled and distributed. The Queen finally had some free time and had time to summon Qin Rou and other concubines in the harem.

A cup of tea was served as soon as she entered the room. The Queen still had some fatigue in her eyes and eyebrows. She forced herself to cheer up and said, "I have sorted out the list with Concubine Niuhulu and have distributed it. The palace is in a mess these two days because the palace maids have been sent out. Concubine Nara, you are pregnant. You should rest and take care of yourself these days! Don't go out."

"Yes, I obey your command." Qin Rou responded with a salute.

The queen nodded, "Not only you, I will also notify Concubine Ma Jia. She is already more than eight months pregnant and will soon be pregnant. If she comes out now and is bumped by some blind servant, even if the servant is beaten to death and the entire family is implicated, the safety of the heir will not be restored."

The Queen did not want such a mess to happen at this time. She had let the palace maids leave the palace just to pray for the Empress Dowager. If something shameful happened, it would inevitably make her appear incompetent and unfilial as the Queen.

Not to mention that the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied, even the Emperor would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

The position of the queen is not so easy to sit on. Especially when there are wolves in front and tigers behind. The royal family may not be allowed to have a deposed queen, but the royal family can have a queen who is deposed without being deposed.

No matter which one it is, it is not what the queen wants. So, she can only be careful in her position.

Even though the queen was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit this fact.

In royal history, Emperor Taizong's Consort Chen and Emperor Shizu's Consort Dong E were both on par with empresses, and were even recognized by the emperor and granted the title of empress.

History never repeats itself, and fate never repeats itself. Two generations of favorite concubines, the empresses recognized by the emperor at that time, both gave birth to a son, but as luck would have it, both died young.

A few years later, the two favorite concubines died of depression due to the death of their sons.

The queen dared not ignore it.

It is said that people become more shrewd as they grow older. When she was canonized as queen by imperial decree, Mafasoni personally taught her some things. The most important and crucial thing to mention was the experiences of the two concubines who were comparable to queens and who had their sons died young and died of depression.

Just telling her that she must be careful and cautious. There are many dangers in this palace.
She had neglected it for a moment and paid a heavy price for it, but now she understood it deeply.

"Your Majesty is right," said Concubine Li. "The safety of the heir is the most important thing. Although we servants know the rules, we are afraid that we may be confused or think wrongly. If we accidentally bump into the heir, even if there is a river of blood, we can't save the heir's health."

"The Queen is kind-hearted and cares about the royal heir. This is a blessing for people all over the world." Tamu noticed that the concubine had spoken and said gently.

Maybe she just wanted to show off her face, or maybe she wanted to please the queen, or maybe she just wanted to say that she was from the Manchu military flag after all. The queen was not too happy, she had heard too many such words. If she could choose, the queen might not be willing to do so. Hearing such words, she knew that Tamu realized that the concubine was showing goodwill and praising her as the queen.

But the Queen didn't have much energy to be happy about it, as it was just a compliment from a concubine.

The Queen smiled and said, "I am the Queen, and it is my duty to care for the heir to the throne."

As for concubines, even if they were concubines, they were naturally not as important as the heir to the throne.

The Queen said without further ado, "That's enough. There's nothing else to do. You can go back and wait. Just know what to do."

"Yes!" The concubines bowed together and then stood up.

Qinrou is not in a hurry to leave, but the other concubines are anxious. The list of palace maids to be released from the palace has been finalized, and who knows what losses they will suffer?
But they didn't dare to ask in Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace was the residence of the imperial harem and the empress was in charge of the six courts. If they planted spies in the harem, wouldn't that be stealing the empress's girl right under her nose?

Or he is the kind who can shift the blame to the queen when necessary.

Just thinking about it made them feel guilty.

How dare you ask around? What if you lose your composure and end up exposing the secrets you have?
Therefore, no matter how worried they were, they left with a smile on their faces.

"They've all left." The queen looked calm as she watched Yuanyan come in from outside the palace, flipping through the photo album in her hand, and said this indifferently.

Yuanyan bowed first and replied in a low voice: "Yes, the concubines have all left."

In other words, they all returned to their palaces.

The queen didn't say anything else, and the topic fell silent in Kunning Palace.

The rest of the concubines returned to their respective palaces. Qinrou also returned to Zhenshunzhai and summoned all the servants. Since she became pregnant, she had more servants in her bedroom, and not a few of them came.

Whether standing or kneeling, there was a huge crowd of people or a large group of heads.

"The Queen Mother said that the list of slaves to be released from the palace has been finalized, and they will be released from the palace in the next two days." Qin Rou spoke concisely and explained the facts and situation clearly in just a few words.

It can also be said that who leaves the palace and who does not is basically a fait accompli. If one wants to exert any more power, one must have great power and be able to get to the queen and ask her to change her mind.

To have such energy, he is truly a talented person, and it is reasonable that he makes people feel terrified.

They all knew that it would be decided soon, but no one expected it to be so soon. Therefore, no matter how mentally prepared they were, they couldn't hide the worry on their faces when they suddenly heard the news.

They were naturally not on the list. None of the palace servants serving in Zhenshunzhai were of the required age.

The only ones they are worried about are their relatives, friends and clansmen.

"I can't do anything else, but I can still provide the palace maids with a place to go after leaving the palace. Those who need it should go find Fushun to register first."

Qin Rou just glanced at the worried expressions on everyone's faces and continued without hesitation.
