The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 429 Pregnant Concubine Li
"I have to thank the Queen for her kindness. No one else has this treatment, except you who was sick this time. The Queen specially gave you another servant to serve you." Little Concubine Li teased. The dragon fetus in her belly, which was about four months old, was really well taken care of.

As for Concubine Ma Jia, it was cold and slippery, and she was frightened a few days ago. She had just invited the imperial physician, but the empress did not call her back. She should take good care of the baby first. The heir was more important than anything else, so she should give birth to a safe and healthy heir. It would also prevent any accidents on the way to pay respects, which would tarnish the empress's reputation.

Qinrou looked over and recognized the person who was speaking. They saw each other every day. There were only a few dozen concubines in the harem, and she had been in the palace for nearly two years, so it would be hard for her not to know him.

Qin Rou didn't give her face at all. "This shows that I behave well, am sensible and know when to advance and retreat, and I am liked by the Queen. I was sick, and the Queen was very worried, so she gave me some extra rewards! Who can you blame? Think more about what you did wrong."

She didn't need to give face to anyone. Among all the concubines in the palace, the only ones she could make her bow down to were the Empress and Consort Niuhulu. The rest of the people were treated the same by her.

Pregnant or not, it's just a common saying, what's the big deal. It's too far-fetched to frame her.

Li Shufei, Yehenala Shufei and others covered their mouths or looked away, thinking that Shufei Nala would change her character after being seriously ill? Or did they think that Shufei Nala would let her go because she was pregnant?
Why don't you ask for the moon and stars in the sky? You are so shameless!

Pregnancy really gives people courage. I don't know what kind of panacea it is.

But who does the emperor care about? It is true that she is pregnant with a dragon fetus and is precious, but Concubine Nara is just getting better, and her face doesn't look as rosy as before.

Furthermore, the Queen's order to temporarily add a few servants to serve in Zhenshunzhai must have been approved by the Emperor, and it must be the Emperor's intention. Look at the sourness of Concubine Li, is she dissatisfied with the Queen? Or is she dissatisfied with the Emperor? Sure enough, her emotional intelligence is a flaw and cannot be saved.

Concubine Li's face was filled with shame and embarrassment. During the time she was pregnant, the Empress took care of her and everyone else had to give her some leeway. This was the treatment that pregnant women in the palace received naturally.

Once people enjoy flattery and stand on the top of the clouds and are about to fall, they cannot stand any bad words from others.

The Queen also sat on the Phoenix Throne and didn't say anything. It was just a few words between the sisters in the palace, what a big deal! Little Li was also ignorant. Was the sourness in her words a resentment against the Queen and the Emperor for being unfair?

What a joke! There is no absolute justice within the deep palace walls. After Li became pregnant, the queen spent some time and energy to order the servants to take care of her, which was already a sign of the queen's kindness and compassion.

Concubine Niuhulu raised her eyes and had been looking at Qinrou for a while. Thanks to her illness, Qinrou was also granted a seat by the Queen today. The pregnant Concubine Li also had one, and the two of them sat at the top and bottom.

Concubine Nianhulu looked at her for a while and said, "I see that Concubine Nala's face is indeed lacking some blood color." She also looked haggard, and it was obvious that she had just recovered from a serious illness.

The Queen also glanced at Concubine Niuhulu and said with a smile, "Indeed! The disease is like pulling out a thread, and it will not be recovered in a short time."

Concubine Niuhulu also smiled dignifiedly, and said casually, "You still have to take good care of it!"

When Concubine Niu Hulu started talking, Qin Rou was a little surprised. Concubine Niu Hulu was always a quiet person. In such occasions of morning and evening visits, Concubine Niu Hulu would sit there most of the time. You could tell she was listening, and she was listening seriously. But she seldom spoke a word, and suddenly she started talking, which was shocking.

The Queen didn't seem to care, and said to Concubine Nianhulu, "I have asked the kitchen to prepare these. They should be used to nourish you, as your health is the most important thing." "Thank you, Queen, and Concubine Nianhulu for your concern!" Qinrou took the opportunity to express her gratitude.

The queen smiled, gentle and kind, and said, "As long as you are well, I won't worry about you."

Qin Rou still wanted to be grateful. Such polite words were just talk! If she really didn't care, she would be the first one to suffer. Qin Rou was full of gratitude and quickly knelt down and said:
"I would like to ask the Queen, now that you have recovered from your illness, that the servants you have given me should be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The favor had been done, and the queen was not in a hurry whether the servants should return or not. It would not matter if they served for a few more days. The queen was thinking about it, but Concubine Nara brought it up. Thinking of this, the queen looked at Concubine Nara and said nothing more, "Okay, I think your servants can serve well, so let the servants return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You should stand up first! Don't kneel."

"Thank you, Madam." Qin Rou thanked her with a grateful look on her face. Xiao Man behind her hurriedly helped the concubine up before she could sit down.

The Queen has already said: "It's getting dark early, you all should go back!"

Everyone agreed and then left. When it was still cold, the concubines in the harem wore cloaks and took hot water bottles with them when they went out. It was not easy to leave. After the Empress left, the concubines respectfully saw off the Empress Nianhulu, and then the concubines in each palace were helped by the servants to put on their cloaks.

Because the concubines in each palace were all standing and the servants were also busy, the place was crowded and quite lively for a while!

Concubine Zhang was in no hurry to leave. She pushed aside the maidservant who was waiting for her and came to Qinrou. The maidservant followed her quickly. Concubine Zhang said to Qinrou, "Concubine Nara, your illness this time has frightened the whole palace."

Concubine Zhang said with a look of fear on her face: "You don't know, we thought you were afraid that it would not work out."

As soon as Concubine Zhang said this, the concubines who were still in the main hall couldn't help but divert some of their attention. Zhang was probably doing it on purpose. How could she go in front of the master and say something like "I thought you wouldn't live long."

"Sister Zhang, you think so yourself, but we don't mean that." Concubine Dong came over and said, "Concubine Nara has always been blessed with a long life. She has just been ill for a while. What's the big deal?"

It's not easy to say it! Although everyone has this intention and speculates in secret, it is embarrassing to put it out in the open.

If I put myself in their shoes, I would find it hard to accept this kind of thing. Concubine Zhang is really out of tune. It would be fine if she was just like this, but she dragged others into it.

Many people frowned and cursed in their hearts. A concubine also said, "Sister Dong is right. Concubine Nara is a blessed person. She is very blessed. She is much more blessed than us. We are all still alive and well, so Concubine Nara is naturally safe and auspicious as well."

They also had to hurry up and make up for the mistakes made by Concubine Zhang, so that she wouldn't bear a grudge against them. It would be bad if they harmed every one of them.

Qin Rou didn't say anything, but what this concubine said was quite interesting.
