The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 60 The traces are destined to become increasingly faded
Concubine Niu Hulu also saw the two whispering, but she did not remind them.

Everyone knows what's appropriate, and Concubine Niu Hulu doesn't want to meddle in too many things. Otherwise, let alone the queen, the emperor might not be able to tolerate her.

So she just pretended not to know, and the two of them also had a sense of proportion, and soon they stopped. In the head office, only the sound of Lama's scriptures could be heard.

The sky is filled with white and sadness! A group of women with different thoughts but sad faces.

The whole day and the whole night were like this.

After the queen returned to Kunning Palace, she came twice more. On the second day of the day, under the watch of the concubines, escorted by the lamas, and escorted by the eunuchs and maids, the big and small little princess The coffin was also carried by the servants, step by step, and left the palace.

All women in the harem, especially the concubines, will go through this step. From the day they enter the palace, they may never be able to leave the palace. The only time they leave the harem is most likely with a coffin, three or four The eunuchs carried it and drove away from the palace.

And for an imperial heir like Da Gege, if he cannot grow up, the only opportunity in his life to leave the palace and see the outside world is to carry a small coffin to the small cemetery chosen by the emperor for the princes and princesses who died young. Buried inside.

"Huan Yan, let the servants clean up all the hangings in the head office!" the queen ordered. The death of a young child is a taboo and a great act of unfilial piety. Logically speaking, it should not be done, but after all, the big princess is the emperor's first princess.

The emperor loved him so much that he took care of it. She has been doing this for a while, and now that the big and small coffin has been sent out, it is time to clean up the hangings in the headroom.

"Er Gege still lives in the secondary residence. Your Majesty may go and take a look at Er Gege at any time. Don't let the Emperor see those hangings again and feel sad and hurt the dragon's body." The Queen explained. The deceased has passed away, but the living must continue to live. The emperor cannot be harmed because of Da Gege who died young.

Concubine Zhang was sobbing, not daring to question the Queen's instructions.

The things of the big grid are also burned, and the things that are buried with them are burned. The palace has to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take another rest. Although the big grid is gone, the most indispensable thing in the palace is the emperor's heir. From now on, there will always be There will also be new students living there.

The traces of Da Gege in the palace are destined to become increasingly faded.

"Yes, don't worry, your Majesty, I understand." Yuan Yan bowed.

It's not the Queen's own child, how much do you expect her to feel sorry for her? If you can do some superficial work, you are already an excellent empress.

No one will question the Queen's actions. After all, the Queen is for the Emperor, right? The royal heir in the palace is important, but in front of the emperor, he has to give in.

What's more, the dead emperor's heir has only a little dignity left.

The concubines stayed up almost all night, and Concubine Niu Hulu was not lazy. She also stayed up all night, and she couldn't stop the sleepiness in her eyes.

The queen turned her head, glanced at everyone again, and said: "There is no more princess in the palace, and I have nothing else to worry about. I will not have to say good morning today. You all can go back."

It is the queen's right to make decisions between morning and dusk, without exception.

"Yes," everyone responded.

Concubine Niu Hulu's expression did not change. After hearing this, she consoled her worriedly: "The Empress, I express my condolences. There are still two princesses and two elder brothers in the palace who need the Empress' care. The Empress must take care of herself."

"I understand," the Empress smiled. She would naturally take care of herself. The Empress comforted her and said, "Concubine Niu Hulu, you are thoughtful."

"Okay, let's all go back to the palace!" The Queen didn't want to talk anymore. There is always an opportunity to demonstrate the queen's authority. Now that the emperor is unhappy, she will not choose this opportunity to poke holes in his heart.

The Emperor is the 'Emperor', her husband, and the biological father of the children in the harem. Especially when the children in the harem die one after another, the Emperor cannot be in a good mood.

The previous dynasty was not stable either. The emperor was in an even worse mood.

"Yes, I, my concubine/slave, resign!" The concubines, supported by the servants around them, saluted. Everyone returned to their respective palaces.

"Concubine." Qinrou just returned to the nunnery, and Fushun and Cangzi came to greet her.

Qinju said: "The water for washing is ready."

She was too sleepy. There was no doubt that she could sleep all day today. She didn't want to worry about other things. Now, all that remained in her mind was the faint impression of the word "sleep".

"The slaves are ready." Fushun knew what it was like to stay up late. The slaves always stay up late at any time, so he was already ready.

Fushun was so experienced and thoughtful that Qinrou sometimes wondered if this person was someone's spy or spy placed around her.

Therefore, she will not act rashly or show too much dependence on Fushun, because she knows that she does not want to be a scapegoat.

Uncut jade is easy to polish, but it has already been polished by others, so it is not your turn. There are many discerning people in the world.

However, this does not prevent her from enjoying this sophistication and guarding against it.

"Okay, bring it here and tell me to wash up first and have a good sleep later." Qin Ju said, her eyelids could hardly be opened.

"Hey!" Fushun and Cangzi responded. The two hurriedly went to bring toiletries. Fortunately, they had prepared them early. Qinrou moved quickly.

"Concubine, please go to bed first!" Fushun said after Qinrou finished washing. "It looks like it's still early, by the way. Concubine, will you go to Kunning Palace to pay your respects later?"

If he needed to go, he would have to use the time to wake up the concubine. It is unavoidable to pay greetings to the Queen. Unless the Queen Mother is exempted from it.

"No need, Da Gege died in infancy," Qinrou sighed, "The Queen is in a bad mood, so she will not have to say good morning today."

So this morning, there is no need to go to Kunning Palace to say hello.

"When it's dinner time, I'll call the concubine to get up." Fushun calculated that the dinner time was early, between noon and midnight. The concubine went to bed now and slept for a few hours. When dinner time came, she also caught up on her sleep for a while. It was a good time to get up at that time and have dinner.

Food is the most important thing for the people. How can I do without eating?

"Okay." Qinrou knows that there are rules in the palace, and even if she makes concessions for others, that person will not be her!

You don’t have to fight with yourself. Apart from myself, there will never be another person in this world who loves me like this.

She knows how to love herself best.

"Xiaoman also goes to take a rest." Qinrou glanced at Xiaoman and said. No one is invincible, and Xiao Man stayed up all night with her. If he continued to stay up, he would probably suffer.

Qinrou has a bad heart, but she has no interest in being an executioner.

Xiaoman said gratefully: "I thank you, my concubine."

She also had to be on duty during the day. Without the concubine's grace, if she fell asleep on duty, she was just lazy. If it was more serious, she would be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Qinrou didn't pay attention anymore, lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
