The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 468 Is This Just the Beginning?

During the Wanshou Festival, the Empress Dowager finally showed up. This was also the first time that the concubines saw the Empress Dowager after she recovered from her illness.

His face was ruddy, and although he was old he was still energetic and his aura was undiminished. Just by standing there, one could instantly realize that he still had a long time to live.

The illness she had a few days ago was just a minor one, but it still couldn't defeat this amazing woman and female politician who had served in three dynasties.

To be honest, the Empress Dowager has experienced a lot. She lost her husband, daughter, and son, but she still managed to seize power. She has experienced even more difficult times. Now it is just a small disaster. How can it defeat this Empress Dowager who has experienced three dynasties?

The Empress and Concubine Nianhulu supported the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager as they walked forward, followed by a group of servants, and then the concubines followed behind them.

Concubine Ma Jia's due date is within these few days, so she is still recuperating in Zhongcui Palace and does not need to attend. Qin Rou does not have this opportunity. She is five months pregnant and the fetus is stable.

It was normal for a royal concubine who was pregnant to show her face in front of the ladies outside the imperial court. She had to let the ministers of the previous dynasty and the ladies inside and outside the imperial court know that the royal family was expecting a child.

If there is no special reason, those who are really prohibited from attending will not be taken seriously.

But even if there was a pregnant concubine present, she would still receive special care. Alcohol was not allowed, and the snacks and meals served were only for pregnant women.

However, Qin Rou did not eat any of the dishes at the banquet. She had enough food now, as she had already eaten before coming. If she was hungry, she could just ask someone to go to the kitchen to get some after the banquet.

Be careful!

She was also worried that the dishes had been tampered with. At such a grand banquet as the Wanshou Festival, and at such a critical moment, even if she felt uncomfortable, would she dare to make a fuss?

Can she make trouble again?
The first thing Kangxi wanted to do was to suppress those people.

This is an emperor. He knows the relationship between the country, power and beauty very well.

With the kingdom and power in hand, what kind of beauty can't you have?

There are all kinds of beauties in the world. If one disappears, another will immediately fill the gap.

The same goes for the royal heir!

An imperial heir who had already miscarried or been injured, might have felt guilty and wanted to make compensation, and the way he felt guilty and wanted to make compensation was!

It means to grant you another royal heir.

The emperor doesn't care about your pain; didn't he compensate you? If you still don't know how to behave, you are being disrespectful. This has been the case with power since ancient times!

Who told you that you have no human rights?
So Qinrou would rather be more careful.

Concubine Zhang was under house arrest during the banquet and did not attend. Since a concubine did not attend, no one asked anything about it, and Concubine Zhang was not an important person.

So above Qinrou was the concubine Yehenala, then the concubine Li, then Qinrou, after her was the concubine Wanyan, and then the other concubines.

In short, the seating arrangement is well organized and there is no confusion.

The Wanshou Festival was very lively and lasted for three days. Just smiling to deal with everyone would make her face stiff. Fortunately, there were not many women of noble birth who approached Qinrou, almost none.

Pregnant women are fragile, and this is a fact recognized by all the ladies in the palace. If they get a little closer, they will be dragged into some royal underworld. The men in the family may be fine, but they themselves will definitely be abandoned.

They are not stupid and want to touch a fragile pregnant woman.

But Qin Rou was not having an easy time either. Although the queen took special care of her, she was five months pregnant and her pregnancy was already very obvious.

If you sit or stand for a long time, or if you keep a stiff posture for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable, and if you feel uncomfortable, you will want to move, just like you have ADHD. So she often goes out to get some fresh air, but Qinrou always brings a large group of servants with her, preferring to be troublesome rather than regretting if she makes a mistake.

"It's so comfortable. I'm envious!" Seeing Qinrou going out for some fresh air again, Concubine Yajia was extremely envious. They didn't have much to do, but they didn't dare to go out for some fresh air too often. Even at a banquet, it was normal for them to stay seated.

When Concubine Ezhuo heard the words, she received a look from Concubine Yajia and turned her head to look at Qinrou.

She didn't like the concubines of the Han army flag, and that was openly stated, but she was very nice to the concubines of the Manchu army flag.

To put it bluntly, it is discrimination against the Han people and the Han army flag.

"She's pregnant, you should be more responsible, you're also pregnant, you can go out and get some fresh air." She brought a group of servants with her. With a round fan covering half of her face, Concubine Ezhuo said unhappily.

Concubine Yajia also half covered her face with a round fan, curled her lips and tried to show her strength. Is this what she can do just by trying hard?
Concubine Yajia said: "I just don't live up to my expectations, and it prevents me from looking at others with envy."

The palace has been peaceful and tranquil lately, and the emperor rarely enters the harem. I guess after being busy for a while, the emperor is in a better mood and has fewer government affairs to attend to, so he will enter the harem more often.

Concubine Ezhuo rolled her eyes and didn't bother to talk to Concubine Yajia. What's the point of being envious? What's the point of telling her, making her envious and arousing her jealousy?

That's wrong.

Concubine Ezhuo simply hated every Han army banner concubine equally, thinking that they were not worthy of serving the Holy Body, let alone serving the Emperor in the palace together with the Manchu army banner concubines.

But it was different for the concubines of the Manchu military banner. No matter which one, as long as their temperament was not particularly annoying or incompatible, she didn't have much of an opinion.

How to say it? For the concubines of the Han Army Banner, Concubine Ezhuo was indeed an extremely disgusting person. Just because of that mouth, she had made mortal enemies with many concubines of the Han Army Banner in the palace.

Of course, there were concubines in the Manchu military banner who hated her!

If a person can achieve this, how can he not be said to be a person of the utmost affection and nature?

"But Concubine Nara is lucky." After rolling her eyes, Concubine Ezhuo said to Concubine Yajia.

There's no need for anyone else to listen, just say it.

She was favored when she entered the palace, and she is still favored now. It was not difficult for her to have children, and she has one now. How can she not be blessed?

The favor is quite deep!
Who in the palace doesn't want to live like Concubine Nala?

But this is just the beginning. If the ending is still blessed, more people will yearn for and want to be her.

"Who said it wasn't?" Concubine Yajia was also sour, hating others for what they had and laughing at others for what they didn't have! When she first entered the palace, she wanted to be like Concubine Nara now.

How can I put it? You have lived the way I wanted. This doesn't make me happy, but it doesn't destroy me either.

"Alas, this is just the beginning?" Concubine Yajia sighed, shook her head, and threw away those messy thoughts.

In the palace, who can be lucky forever?

Once you have a child, you will know the pain. Anyone with some brains can see the current situation in the palace. Even if the heir is born well, it is not easy to raise him.

Those who were watching couldn't help but feel scared.

Isn't the purpose of competing for favor for the emperor's heir? But the heirs were all unable to grow up.
