The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 53 Claws

The concubines waited for a long time. As time gradually passed, the time when the Queen and Concubine Niu Hulu were supposed to come back from Cining Palace and Ciren Palace to pay their respects gradually passed, but the Queen and Concubine Niu Hulu were still missing!
Qinrou couldn't wait any longer. She had never suffered much in the first place. She was pampered in her previous life. The biggest pain she suffered in this life was indifference, but she had never suffered physical pain.

When he entered the palace to learn the rules, he could still tolerate it. After all, he did not come to the palace to be a slave.

The rest of the concubines gradually couldn't wait anymore. They all looked at each other. At first they could wait, but as time went on, they couldn't wait any longer.

Even though the time when the Queen and Concubine Niu Hulu went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager would be different, the difference was not big.

The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager may be old, or there may be other reasons. Even if they want to embarrass the Empress and Concubine Niu Hulu, there must always be a reason.

If something happens suddenly, there must be a reason.

Everyone in the palace who had some experience felt uneasy. I also had some speculation in my mind.

This situation has happened before, mostly when the late elder brother and third elder brother were not doing well.

Thinking about the three children currently in the palace, no matter whether they are good or not, the concubine who had some speculations felt uneasy.

"I wonder if any of the girls or aunts in Kunning Palace are free. I would like to ask the girl to ask for me. I would like to ask if the Queen and Concubine Niu Hulu are busy right now!" Concubine Dong sat up. Uneasy! There are only three children in the palace, and her second child is only about six months old. Children of this age are most likely to get sick!
Concubine Dong was inevitably a little uneasy.

After all, she was just such a child, even if it was a princess, even if he was never raised by her side, she would still miss him all the time.

If something goes wrong in the slightest, she will feel anxious and worried, and she will have trouble sleeping and eating.

He's just a character and can be accommodated in the palace, right? Concubine Dong was suffering from angina, but she actually knew that life in the palace was even more difficult.

Because first of all, they are not valued by the superiors like their elder brothers, and the attitude of the superiors has already determined the attitude of the slaves. Because Ge Ge is not taken seriously, the slaves do not have so much awe.

The slave bullied the master! Most of the people who were deceived were princesses in the palace or the royal family.

Concubine Dong herself was born as a slave under the Zhenghuang Banner, and she knew very well the vicious nature of the slaves.

But when she thought of those methods being used on her second princess, Concubine Dong suddenly became murderous. She wanted to cut those slaves into pieces.

Even though there was an arranger around Er Gege, Concubine Dong still felt uneasy before the unknown outcome.

Secondly, after all, Princess is a royal heir, so she is naturally noble, but in comparison, she is not that noble. Whether it is slaves or concubines, there will only be more bad qualities in people, and the weak will be picked on, and the mentality is also the same: there are people who hate others, but there are no people who laugh.

He didn't dare to touch his elder brother, so he used all his methods on the princesses. Moreover, the biological mother is in the palace, so most of the time, she doesn't care about Gege that much.

Moreover, because the superiors are not so concerned and don't care so much, the pursuit of the slaves below will not be so intense, and it will be easier for the perpetrators to escape punishment.

The heavy ones will always be heavy, and the light ones will always be light. One point is expressed by the superiors, and five points are expressed by the contempt shown by the subordinates.

Therefore, in the palace, the princesses all look bright, but those who are not favored and those with low status are in a really difficult situation. Just because he is not a man, he cannot carry on the family line!
When I grow up, I want to get married in an unfamiliar place.

Compared to the treatment given to my brothers, it’s so different! Even the servants who serve around him will most likely have to leave their homes as well.

In fact, we are surrounded by enemies from both sides and are besieged on all sides. It all depends on luck.

Concubine Dong had always understood the situation of Princess in the palace, and it was precisely because of her understanding that she became even more worried! Even the slaves who serve Ergege are the same as her, and they are all from Shangsanqi.

But because it was just some speculation on her part, even if she was worried, she couldn't show it on her face, so she could only make some circumstantial inquiries.

In Kunning Palace, the person waiting on the side now is just a third-class palace maid.

There are countless capable people around the queen, and those who can be trusted by the queen include nuns, first-class maids, or eunuchs. Even if they are not helpful, there are still second-class maids at their disposal. As a third-class palace maid, it is a great honor to be able to ask the queen to remember a name.

However, most people do not dare to look down upon the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. Being labeled as a queen means that you have to be more careful with your words.

When asking for help, you should always do it with a smile.

It is a taboo in the palace to betray the master, and it is even more taboo for a slave to be friendly with the master or slave of another palace. In serious cases, there is even suspicion of betraying the master.

Concubine Dong fully understands the hidden rules, after all, this can be said to be her strength.

So Concubine Dong smiled and said: "I am weak, but if the Queen can use me in any way, I will do my best to relieve the Queen's worries."

The slaves below are easy to handle and difficult to handle. Concubine Dong herself has such a background, and she can figure out the slaves' thoughts most of the time.

The little palace maid didn't dare to make her own decision at first, but after hearing Concubine Dong's words, she became even more afraid to make her own decision. A slave doesn't need to have big ideas, it just needs to be able to do things.

If she couldn't make up her mind, she could only report it to the queen's maid or eunuch.

All in all, one must be able and dare to make decisions.

"This..." There was a trace of embarrassment on the little palace maid's face. She was only a third-class palace maid in Kunning Palace, so how could she dare to leave her post without permission? Concubine Dong added this sentence just because she saw her in trouble.

Then she can feel free to ask the eldest maid or eunuch of Kunning Palace for instructions. So he replied with a low eyebrow, his tone was neither light nor serious, and his whole person was completely bound within the rules. "Concubine, please wait a moment while I wait for my servant to ask Miss Siyu for instructions."

Ten people in the palace can have a hundred ideas, so Concubine Dong was extremely careful and cautious in everything she said and did.

What she wanted was for the little palace maid to ask for instructions. Concubine Dong said: "This is natural."

All the concubines just watched with cold eyes. Those with children were anxious, while those without children were anxious for a while and then stopped. The knives on the left and right would not fall on them, so it didn't matter if they waited for a while.

"Concubine Dong is a little too anxious. The Queen has a problem. How can you and I, a mere concubine, be able to relieve our worries." There are those who are not in a hurry, and naturally there are those who add insult to injury, but she is. To add insult to injury, it is also in a good manner.

It's hard to tell whether it's a well-intentioned reminder or a malicious ridicule.

Concubine Dong smiled. She was making some uneasy speculations in her heart, but this speculation did not make her lose her mind, so she replied, "I am not like my sister. My mistress treats me with kindness and kindness. I I am always thinking about her and want to contribute to my master’s sake.”

Concubine Dong was never a rabbit, she was a cat! No matter how docile it is, it also has sharp claws. It’s just that I won’t make envoys to the Empress, Concubine Niu Hulu, or the Emperor.
