The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 59 There are not many such idiots anymore
"Concubine Nala, you are pregnant and can't bear to be tired, so go back first! It's time to rest and take good care of yourself, so as to give birth to a healthy brother for the emperor." The queen took a look and followed the crowd. The concubine Yehenala also gave instructions.

Apart from the two children, there are only two pregnant women in the palace now. If there is another accident, the rumors of the previous censors will be everywhere.

Besides, pregnant women always have to have some preferential treatment in the palace.

Everyone's eyes turned to Concubine Nala, who was also pregnant for nearly six months.

Pregnant women are so nice! Enjoy various benefits. Pregnant women in the palace are even more valuable.

They suffer and suffer here without getting any benefits. They are in their own palace, where they should sleep and eat. How comfortable they are!
"Yes," Concubine Nala ignored the explicit or implicit glances! Children who die in infancy usually die suddenly, which is unlucky, and they are said to carry a curse. It will collide with the fetus in the belly of newborns and pregnant women.

Although it is just a common perception, things that should be tabooed should still be tabooed. Concubine Nala now only has this little brother in her belly, so she has to be careful in everything. This is the golden knot of her glory and hope for the rest of her life!
Concubine Nala was cautious, and the queen nodded, like a virtuous queen, "I have also sent a message to Concubine Ma Jia, telling Concubine Ma Jia to take good care of her. She is older than you. Well, the end of December is the due date, which is only two months away."

The queen said: "You two are both pregnant, and there are fewer and fewer heirs in the palace now. Whether you or Concubine Ma Jia, this palace and the emperor are looking forward to having two more brothers from you!"

"Both the servant and Sister Ma Jia understand the great love between the Emperor and the Empress," Concubine Nala said cautiously: "The servant and Concubine Ma Jia also hope to live up to the expectations of the Master, the Empress and the Emperor."

She is naturally looking forward to giving birth to an elder brother. Even if the elder brother is more difficult to raise, princesses are even more difficult to raise. There are six biological princesses in the late emperor's harem, but only one princess, Heshuo Gongci, can survive. When he was still fifteen years old, he married Gualja Nardu due to marriage.

At that time, the rebel Obai was very powerful, and the emperor's wedding was only two years old. Ao Bai was extremely arrogant and domineering, even though he was not like Zhao Gao who called a deer a horse during the Second Qin Dynasty. But he also invaded the government and the public. Just watch him fabricate charges and hang him, but no one in the civil and military elites can stop him. You can tell that no one can stop him!

Even the emperor and the empress dowager could not stop him. This is definitely the most humiliating thing that has happened to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor since they ascended the throne. It is also the pinnacle of the traitor Oboi's power to invade the government and the public.

In order to appease the powerful rebel Obai, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor discussed and canonized the late emperor's biological princess, who was only fifteen years old at the time, and the second daughter of the late emperor who was only four or five months older than the emperor, as Princess Heshuo. , proposed to be married to the nephew of the traitor Obai, Guarjia Nardu.

Later, the traitor Obai was eradicated, and Princess Heshuo Gongci was transferred to Guarjia. Nardu was also deprived of her official position for being an auxiliary minister, Obai, but Princess Heshuo Gongci could not reconcile with her.

Now I haven't entered the palace for several years.

I heard that Princess Heshuo Gongci is not in good health now. She frowns all the time and feels depressed. How can she be better? He and Efu returned to Efu's place of origin and lived in poverty. Princess Heshuo was always raised by nobles and nobles, how could it be so good!

If she had the right temperament! Princess Heshuo Gongci is a lesson learned from the past. How can Concubine Nala accept it!
To pamper someone is to send them to be abused. But if she doesn't want to, what can she do? With the emperor and the queen here, when they need to get married, the emperor and the queen never care about their daughter.

The queen smiled and said: "Go back! Have a good rest." The queen asked again, "There are still sisters from the harem guarding here. They can't compare to you. They are full of energy. It's good to spend more time with Da Gege."

"My slave, please retire." Concubine Nala saluted. She just ignored the queen's words. There are so many women in the harem, but only a few can make a difference. The rest are just a ragtag group, so don't worry too much.

Concubine Nala slowly exited with the support of her personal maid. The concubines continued to guard the Fifth Qianxi Palace.

There are five institutes in the West Five Institutes, namely the first institute, the secondary institute, and... five institutes.

Each one is a large courtyard with three entrances.
The big princess lived in the first house, and the second princess lived in the second house. There is a long distance between the first room and the second room, and the sound from the first room cannot disturb the two rooms in the second room, so the queen does not need to temporarily move the two rooms out.

Soon the lamas were announced into the palace, and the voices of the lamas reciting sutras to save the souls could be heard in the head room.

A white cloth strip was also hung on the head place.

The concubines all stood aside, watching the lama's voice, the scriptures continuing, and the souls of the dead resting in peace. The queen couldn't wait any longer. Siyu, the eldest maid of the Kunning Palace, came from outside. She didn't know what she reported, but she only said a few words in the queen's ear, and the queen waved her to leave for the time being.

He turned around and said something to Concubine Niu Hulu, then led the servants out. The concubines looked on, but no one said anything. It was not their turn to talk or dictate how the queen spoke or acted.

He didn't even dare to say a bad word about the queen. Smart people all understand this truth: who knows whether they are humans or ghosts around them? The truth that disaster comes from the mouth and disease comes from the mouth will never go out of style, and there will always be people watching.

"Where are you going, Queen?" Concubine Li saw this and asked softly.

The concubine next to her gave her a slightly surprised look when she heard this. If she could express it more clearly, it would be obvious that she was looking at a fool or an idiot.

However, the concubine still answered her in a good-natured manner: "The Queen has her own reasons for doing things." There were not many fools like this in the palace, and she thought she was smart. You have to protect it well so that you can have a good show!
She is also a concubine of the Han Army Banner, and she is also a concubine with little love, otherwise she would not stand with the new concubines of the Han Army Banner who entered the palace.

In the palace, the concubine and the concubine are clearly distinguished, and the superior and inferior are clearly distinguished. Even in the secret place, the noble and the inferior are also clearly distinguished.

The concubines of the Manchu Army Banner rarely paid attention to the concubines of the Han Army Banner. Even if they had good looks, they could only get such good treatment if they were pampered like Concubine Wen and Concubine Li.

Although they are Manchus, they have always understood the rules, and they do not let others get caught easily.

The concubine Wang also kindly explained again: "The Queen is a busy person. The palace affairs of the six palaces and the domestic and foreign wives are all under the command of the Queen. The Queen is too busy to be busy on weekdays. Naturally, she is different from us. We are all idlers. On weekdays, , and only in these matters can we share our worries."

"Thank you, sister, for clearing up the confusion." Concubine Li said gratefully. She also vaguely felt that her question seemed inappropriate.

So after hearing this sentence, he kept silent.
