The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 101 Winter has officially arrived

Qinrou didn't stay for a while before returning to Zhenshunzhai.

Bai's death did not cause any waves, and no one in the palace was sad about her death. She passed away at this most miserable time.

In the past few days, Qinrou had thought that if someone died at this time, it would be a very opportune time. It became true in the blink of an eye.

What a pity!
Time passed little by little, and the first heavy snowfall of winter fell at the end of October.

The weather was unpredictable. On the first day, we could still see the shadow of the sun, but one day, heavy snow fell in the sky.

This heavy snow heralds the official arrival of Qinrou's first winter in the palace.

The heavy snow fell after midnight, and it continued to fall heavily until the next day, and there seemed to be a moving white mist in the sky.

Qin Rou was standing in the house, looking at the three sweet-scented osmanthus trees outside the house, which were covered with layers of white snow. She was already bent over from exhaustion, but she felt extremely cold just looking at them, "Why is the snow so heavy?"

"No, it started snowing suddenly last night, and it hasn't stopped today. There was a thick layer on the ground. The snow sweepers just cleared a section of the road from this end of the long street, and it didn't take a while. , and there is a thick layer on the ground, which is almost the same as Baigan." Fushun replied.

Early on, he went outside to inquire. There is no choice but to go out, not to mention the servants, even the concubine or the master of the concubine Niu Hulu, has to go to Kunning Palace to calm down in the morning and dusk, even in winter, this is unavoidable.

This winter is the best time for the concubine to be teased, or the master to be teased about the slave.

Not to mention the servants, the concubine's two meals a day, the evening meal, and the concubine's daily coal quota must all be obtained from the House of Internal Affairs or the Imperial Kitchen. The minions are all busy.

"The wind is also strong. When I went out to bring food to the concubine, the wind and snow were so strong that my umbrella could be overturned." Cangzi also replied immediately.

He was still frightened when he mentioned it.

Qinrou frowned. She was indifferent, but she didn't look down on other people's hard work. She said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go and dry it."

This is all she can do within her power.

"The slaves don't have to work hard," Cangzi smiled a bit shyly. His situation was already excellent, and he was satisfied with it. "If you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the palace. I don't care about the slaves who brave the heavy snow outside to clear the snow. At the end of the day, the slave only has to walk in the wind and snow for a while, which is already very good."

Otherwise, why would the slaves try so hard to serve their master? Just the lack of menial work makes many people satisfied.

Qinrou smiled and said, "Go and dry it." It's okay, there's no need to find fault on your own.

"Concubine, let's go have a meal first! It's time to go to Kunning Palace and Chen Province soon." Xiao Man said. She didn't go out much today, and there was no need for her to bring food, as there were Cangzi and Fushun.

"Yes." Qinrou also knew that for three hundred and sixty days a year, without the Queen's order, everyone would have to watch the morning and dusk every day, which was indispensable for everyone.

During this period, among the concubines in the harem, in addition to Qinrou and Irgenjueluo, the new concubines in the harem, the concubines Tamucha and Heyele also accepted the favor.

There is Cheng Chong, but there is no Sheng Chong.

Then Qinrou understood that the emperor began to favor the new concubine who entered the palace. In other words, after two months, when the emperor began to favor Concubine Irgenjueluo, Qinrou understood this truth.

Qinrou doesn't mind. Pampering is something that can't be changed by her mind.

There are a few sparkling seeds on the lower layer of the food box. The food on it is simmering like this, so that it is not too cold. Qinrou also breathed a sigh of relief. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is quite thoughtful. In this way, there is no need to worry about the servants coming from the imperial kitchen. When the meal was brought to his palace, it was already served cold.

She didn't mind if the food was worse, after all, her position was here. But if it's cold, she's afraid she won't be able to eat it. Qinrou had no objection and hurriedly finished eating. This was the time when the cold factor was strong, so she ate while it was still hot. When the food is cold, I don’t want to eat it anymore.

Xiaoman straightened out the cloak that Qinrou was going to wear today, "The concubine has a deep love for me, and the emperor feels sorry for me. In the past few days, I have given him warm things in the winter. There is no need to worry about the concubine getting cold." On."

After breakfast, Qin Rou was not in a hurry to leave. She had no interest in going out to soak in the snow. Chengqian Palace happened to be close to the Queen's Kunning Palace, so there was no need to be in a hurry. It would be okay if it was later.

Xiaoman then helped Qinrou put on her big cloak.

The emperor was really capable, but Qinrou didn't even mention it. The emperor even rewarded three or four of the big cloaks. Not to mention anything else. There are so many men in the world, how many can do this.

She knows her own affairs well, and the emperor's treatment of her will never be the best, but it will never be bad either.

This is really going to cost your life in return.

To put it bluntly, in various families and courtyards, there are endless battles for favor. What they are fighting for is status, respect, and the right to live a good life and the opportunity to live a good life.

To be honest, anyone who can take a concubine or have an affair must have some family background. It is impossible to be truly impoverished!

The few things they have in their hands are enough to make many people live well.

The world is suffering, and the people who suffer are the refugees, but the aristocracy holds countless wealth in their hands, and the various materials they hold in their hands will only be more, not less.

Xiaoman tied Qinrou's belt. Xiaoman didn't just huddle in Zhenshun's room. There were news in various palaces. With Fushun and Cangzi here, it was impossible for her to be blind or deaf.

Like their concubines, there are not many left who are pampered as soon as they enter the palace. It was also because of her pampering that the concubine's life was so easy.

The concubines in other concubines were miserable, and their lives were not as good as those of the slaves who served the favored concubines.

Xiaoman guessed that Fushun and Cangzi might be worried that she would be dazzled by wealth and want to climb onto the dragon's bed, so they would give her some encouragement to prevent her from making mistakes.

Although it may not have much impact on the concubines and Zhenshunzhai, it will definitely have an impact.

"Your Majesty is interested." Qinrou smiled slightly.

The emperor did a large wholesale business this time. In addition to Qin Rou and Concubine Li, the pregnant concubines Ma Jia and Nala were also rewarded with some warm things.

But there were only a few of them, and Concubine Wanyan. Even though she had not yet slept with her, the emperor had rewarded her. No one else had this honor.

Neither did the Queen or Concubine Niu Hulu. Of course, they don't lack this either.

As for what the two of them were thinking, Qinrou didn't know.

Qinrou has no way of knowing whether she cares or not. But she doesn't care either. Don't pay too much attention to things that haven't happened before, otherwise you will inevitably be in panic all day long.

The Chinese have a good word to describe it, which is "unfounded worry". It can scare oneself to death.

There is also a soup bag and an umbrella, which are essential items. Otherwise, you will get cold when you go out.
