The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 65: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn
After walking around the Imperial Garden, Qin Rou would not speak unless someone asked her questions. Just accompany me silently!

When people are upset, they will also feel disgusted when they hear other people's voices.

How can we be sure that the emperor is willing to talk too much?

In the evening, Emperor Kangxi let nature take its course and stayed overnight in Chengqian Palace. The next day, when the emperor was sent away, Qinrou looked calm! I can't tell what I'm thinking about at all.

"Concubine Zhang, who has served the slaves of Da Gege and is still in the Sentence Department. Concubine Zhang has always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and has a cowardly temper! Her ideas are different from others. She cannot distinguish between forms and is often a little confused. , so not many people are willing to confront her. She also has to be unforgiving."

Fushun also knew what happened in the imperial garden yesterday, and Qinrou would go to greet her soon, so he hurriedly spoke to Qinju. I was worried that she would suffer a loss if she went to pay her respects without knowing the situation.

"I can see this." Qinrou is not stupid. She has a talent for how to look at a person. Concubine Zhang is very superficial.

There was confusion in Qinrou's eyes, as if she was simply confused: "It's just that I have doubts. Concubine Zhang, is her temperament always like this?"

With her unpopular temperament, shallow temperament and scheming, she was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to the baby Gege safely. The queen was really virtuous. In this palace, the emperor's heir is so easy to conceive!

"Actually, Concubine Zhang has a very good temperament. She is the first concubine that the emperor has served closely. Moreover, no matter what happened before and after, Concubine Zhang always treats the emperor and the queen with great care and dedication. She is also a concubine in the harem. Concubines are different." Fushun smiled and mentioned it slightly.

Concubine Zhang has an unpleasant temperament, but this dislike is directed at the slaves or concubines who she 'thinks' are weaker than her. Towards the Queen and the Emperor, she is naturally docile and obedient.

"In the palace, few people dare to act arrogantly in front of the emperor and empress!" Fushun said in a cryptic way. To put it bluntly, everyone would hide in front of the emperor and empress.

Just like Qinrou herself, she also kept herself hidden in front of the emperor and the queen. Qinrou understood immediately, but she just couldn't touch the string. So if you haven't enlightened yet, you will be able to think clearly once you have enlightened.

"The servants serving Da Gege are still locked up in the Shenxing Division! Da Gege is about to pass away, and Concubine Zhang is not relying on her, but she is relying on Yu Weiyou. Most people will want to do something at this time. , so as to stabilize her position." After all, in the palace, status is linked to dignity. Although Concubine Zhang is not very smart, she will feel that this is an opportunity for her to prove her status.

Even if she is not smart and would not think of doing this, there will be people in the harem who will remind her that she can do this.

Qinrou understood, otherwise Concubine Zhang would not have made such a fuss in the imperial garden yesterday.

……

The sun hangs in the sky, and the heat of summer is no longer there. What is there now is the coolness of autumn.

In Kunning Palace, all the concubines gathered together. Everyone paid their respects, the Queen sat high on the phoenix chair, Concubine Niu Hulu had her own seat as usual, and Concubine Yehenala also sat opposite.

"Da Gege's posthumous affairs have been settled." The queen took a sip of tea and said. Like some kind of omen.

"Concubine Zhang, Concubine Dong. You two stand up!" the queen continued. Everyone thought that the queen would not handle it? And today, it's here.

Queen, we have to start dealing with the fight between Concubine Zhang and Concubine Dong on the day of Da Gege's death. Use an idiom to describe it: settling accounts after autumn!
"Empress." Concubine Dong was mentally prepared. She had been on tenterhooks these past few days, and there was never a time when she wasn't worried. Now that it was finally here, a big stone fell to the ground in her heart. After all, the Queen still has to save some face for Er Gege.

She, a useless biological mother, would also benefit a little from Ergege's face. At most, it would be a little difficult, so she could grit her teeth and get over it.

As long as Er Gege is doing well, she will still be able to rely on him!
At first, when Ding Ruzhong said calmly that he would report everything to the queen, Concubine Zhang was a little timid and frightened. But after the day before yesterday and yesterday, Concubine Zhang no longer cared about it.

She had just lost her daughter. Even if Concubine Zhang was not smart, she still knew that neither the emperor nor the queen would deal with her if a big general died.

Maybe it’s because he’s a fool that he does stupid things!
So the Queen suddenly took him and Concubine Dong out. Concubine Zhang was confused for a moment. Concubine Zhang also knew clearly that being taken out alone by the Emperor or the Queen was either a reward or an accountability.

But together with Concubine Dong, Concubine Zhang's delayed brain finally recalled that on the day of Da Gege's death, she and Concubine Dong fought in front of the slaves.

The royal family has the most dignity, and the etiquette rules are particularly strict! It was particularly indecent for the two concubines to fight. Breaking the rules of the palace is a big deal.

Concubine Zhang immediately showed a look of fear on her face!
Concubine Zhang, call her a villain! But for this aspect, she has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to match. Always wait and give the best answer.

Just like this moment, Concubine Zhang just stood up obediently, with a little fear on her face. Although she was trembling, she would not upset the queen too much: "Empress."

"Ding Ruzhong and I reported what happened the day before yesterday. When you lost control, you mentioned Ergege in your words and said some things that should not be said. Do you admit this?" The queen also spoke vaguely. If she said it, the concubine would Cursing the daughter of another concubine, the royal family will lose its dignity.

Put the royal rules there again! Others would think how she, a queen, managed the palace and ruled the wives inside and outside.

The queen lost her face.

"This, the slave has lost control, please ask the Queen to hold you accountable." Concubine Zhang said tremblingly. She naturally confessed, and the Queen is now being held accountable.

When she was punished by her superiors, Concubine Zhang did not ask why. Secondly, she allowed the Queen Mother to punish her and carried out the punishment meticulously. You have given the Queen enough face!

With this performance, the anger in the superior's heart will subside a bit.

Concubine Zhang did not argue, and the queen felt much better, "You are the emperor's concubine, Er Gege is the princess, and you are also Er Gege's concubine. If you think about it carefully, it is in the backyard of ordinary people, which backyard The concubine curses the princess in the family, especially if you are a royal concubine. The concubine’s words have the meaning of cursing the princess. Where do you place the emperor, where do you place this palace, where do you place the rules of the harem, and where do you place the rules of the harem? Where does the dignity of the royal family belong, and what do you think of Ergege?"

The queen asked repeatedly. Managing the concubines in the harem means not only punishing them, but also teaching them reason! This is the queen, this is the mistress of the house.

The emperor's princesses are all given the title of princess when they grow up and get married, and then they are given the title of princess with the ceremony of princess.

When she was not given the title of princess, she was mostly called Princess in the palace today.
