The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 474 You Also Have Pregnancy
Qinrou also heard the news. "Let's go then!"
Consort Ma gave birth to a little princess yesterday, but Emperor Kangxi hasn't gone to see her yet. It's normal for him to go now.

Emperor Kangxi should have gone to see her long ago! Even if it wasn't for Consort Ma Jia, but for the little princess, he should have gone to see her. Consort Ma Jia might be a servant or a plaything, but the little princess is still the emperor's own daughter!

If she didn't even go to see him, Qinrou would truly be heartbroken. Even though she was already heartbroken enough!
Qinrou only let it pass by her ear. She continued leisurely, leaning back on the couch, flipping through her copy of the Book of Documents.

The servants naturally dared not disturb them too much! They only needed to keep an eye on what their master needed at any time.

The master spends his days reading books, which helps him pass the time.

The servants neither cared nor dared to interfere. This was the scene that Kangxi witnessed when he entered the palace.

The servants were about to bow as soon as they realized the emperor had arrived, but when Kangxi waved his hand, they dared not make a sound.

In front of the Emperor, the servants dare not act recklessly.

Therefore, the servants remained silent and bowed, not daring to raise their heads or make any small movements in front of the emperor.

Kangxi dismissed the servants and quietly approached, sitting down next to Qinrou. Although his movements were light, a sudden action occurred right next to her, and Qinrou was not so carefree as to remain unfazed.

Therefore, her hand trembled, her body shook, and her head followed suit. The emperor's figure came into view, and Qin Rou was startled, but calmed down after a few seconds.

She glanced at the servants out of the corner of her eye; they were all standing respectfully to her side. Qin Rou paid no attention to the servants and put the book away, placing it on the small square table beside her.

"Your Majesty!" Qinrou was about to rise and bow in greeting. When did Kangxi arrive? Wasn't he supposed to be at Zhongcui Palace? Could it be that he didn't go? That's impossible! Or did he go to see someone else? Qinrou was filled with unsolved mysteries.

She raised questions and then denied them, but it was only for a moment, and it didn't hinder her actions.

Kangxi pulled her into his arms and leaned down, patting Qinrou's arm reassuringly. He said in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry! I startled you."

Judging from his tone, he seemed quite radiant?
Qin Rou smiled slightly, then shook her head. "Just a little bit. His Majesty is not bad!"

I was indeed surprised, but only for a short while.

Kangxi looked down at her in his arms. Qinrou raised her head and met Kangxi's sharp eyes, which were filled with satisfaction, and her eyes were full of good mood.

really!

Who says men can't be stunningly beautiful?

The usually dignified and sharp character suddenly shed his hurtful fierceness, and his dignity also diminished, revealing a rather charming demeanor.

It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and people became more relaxed and at ease.

"Is His Majesty in a good mood?" Qin Rou put aside her original doubts and looked at Kangxi. She always felt that Kangxi's state seemed to be the pride and self-satisfaction of someone who had accomplished a great thing.

Big news! Qin Rou couldn't help but ponder the matter. Was the third princess of Consort Ma Jia born yesterday? Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and delighted.

is it?

Emperor Kangxi was indeed in a very good mood, and was extremely pleased. When asked questions, he remained as charming and cheerful as ever, and his good mood never waned!

"Hmm!" Kangxi replied briefly, the lilting tone betraying his good mood.

Kangxi deliberately remained silent and just stared at Qinrou!

This meant she had to guess, Qinrou thought to herself.

"Is it because of the little princess?" Qin Rou thought. Kangxi must have just visited Consort Ma Jia's little princess. She had another daughter and a princess, and the royal family had gained another imperial heir. That's why Kangxi was so happy.

It's not impossible!
After all, Emperor Kangxi had few children. Five more had died in succession, and who knew how many of those who were still alive would survive?
If we can't maintain quality, then we have to compete on quantity! With more imperial heirs, there will always be lucky princes and princesses who can survive in this cruel and treacherous deep palace.

That's pretty cruel.

“Not only,” Kangxi answered her in a good mood, his tone even becoming more cheerful as he replied. He was in such a good mood that he even reminded her, “It’s about matters of state.” Kangxi was an emperor and a father; however, being an emperor came first, and being a father came second.

Power is the first and foremost thing an emperor desires!
Emperor Kangxi was no exception.

Some news was released yesterday, and after the morning court session this morning, Mingzhu, Misihan, and others stayed behind and talked with the emperor in the imperial study.
Emperor Kangxi even skipped his afternoon nap.

But after these trusted ministers left the palace, Kangxi was reviewing the events in his mind and almost forgot about his little princess who had been born just yesterday.

But when Li Dequan mentioned it, Kangxi remembered it.

Of course, this was a secret; Emperor Kangxi would not mention it, and no one else would know.

It will drift away with the wind, shatter into pieces, and fall into the dust in this palace, disappearing without anyone knowing.

He hoped she would guess correctly. Qinrou was occasionally quite perceptive, and she was certain of that.

Qinrou began to think about it seriously!
Power! It's the best tonic. For both men and women, but especially for men.

If Kangxi's great joy hadn't come from the harem, Qinrou would have had to start with the previous dynasty.

Qinrou didn't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she was clear about this one thing.

This is a well-known fact and a matter of great concern to everyone.

"Remove the Three Feudatories!" This is the big picture and the general trend. Qin Rou's mind works quickly, and she grasps the key points. With those key points, it is easy to draw a line.

Qinrou's thoughts became increasingly clear.

"The decision to abolish the Three Feudatories has been made." This was the only major event Qin Rou could think of.

The prestige of emperors is basically established through war.

Throughout history, every emperor who has achieved great fame and prestige and commanded respect has done so through war.

The war established the emperor's authority, making him absolute and his power unshakeable by any powerful ministers or treacherous officials.

Emperor Kangxi beamed with joy and looked radiant. Although the information was somewhat inaccurate, the fact that he had gone this far meant that he had almost reached the emperor's heart.

"It can't be said that it's settled," Kangxi said. It's just that it's basically settled, and there's no more wrangling. The general trend has been set, and even if there are dissenting voices, they won't affect the overall situation.

Upon hearing Kangxi's words, Qinrou instantly understood. The matter wasn't settled yet, but it wasn't far off.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Qin Rou had a mouth, but she also understood that even if she understood, she couldn't speak carelessly.

This is called ensuring that confidentiality is maintained.

So Qinrou didn't waste any time and simply offered her congratulations. What was she congratulating herself on?

Congratulations, Emperor Kangxi! Your wish is about to be fulfilled. Congratulations, Emperor Kangxi! There are fewer fools in the previous dynasty.

"Congratulations are indeed in order!" Kangxi said, looking at Qinrou and holding her in his arms, his voice filled with joy. He was radiant and his voice was melodious.

He bent his index finger and gently stroked her delicate nose. "I share your joy." Qin Rou didn't quite understand what he meant for a moment, but Kangxi didn't need her to. He said to her, "You are also happy."

Qinrou was completely baffled! Was she also pregnant? Was there some happy event? What happy event could there be? It could only be something given to her by Emperor Kangxi.

What happy event did Emperor Kangxi give her?
Qinrou was puzzled. She just looked at Kangxi, but for the time being, Kangxi kept her in suspense and didn't intend to tell her.

"Wait a little longer! Wait a few more days..." Kangxi said.
