The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 70 Mentioning Concubine Bai again

Qinrou had no doubts, "By the way, the Queen suddenly mentioned Concubine Bai today."

Qinrou's expression didn't change, even though this person was someone who had wanted to harm her and had already started to implement it. She didn't care either. If this person succeeded, he would be lucky in gambling, and if he failed, he would have to bear the consequences.

Even Qinrou had to admit that Concubine Bai was quite courageous and extremely capable! Take action as soon as you are told and never delay.

Having said that, it would not be strange for the Queen to deal with Concubine Dong and Concubine Zhang, and Qinrou would not be surprised that Concubine Li and Concubine Ergenjueluo would receive rewards from the Queen Mother. Everyone has their own desires.

It is an instinct for people to want to improve their social status. However, the Queen suddenly mentioned Concubine Bai. Qinrou found this unexpected person quite strange.

The queen is so busy every day, how can she still remember a little white concubine? Even though she committed such a thing, it was like a drop in the ocean compared to the many things that the Queen had to deal with every day.

It is indeed a bit strange that people can still remember a drop in the ocean of history and then suddenly mention it.

"It's not surprising to mention Concubine Bai as a warning to others." Fushun said, "Concubine Concubine may not know it yet, but Concubine Bai was banned for being a snake and scorpion, and Concubine Bai's father was also dismissed. Together with his brothers, he was not The uncle who separated the family also suffered retribution for raising such a daughter."

Fushun said it in an understatement, and Qinrou was startled. She thought that the matter of Concubine Bai was in the past, and what was in the past was in the past. Since it had been dealt with in the palace, it would no longer concern matters outside the palace? Unexpectedly, the mother's family outside the palace was also implicated and dealt with.

Qinrou knew that the concubines in the harem had a close relationship with her mother's family in the previous dynasty, but she didn't expect it to be so close.

Fushun continued: "So now, dear ministers, I only ask you to be respectful and have no vigilantism or vile behavior, so as not to implicate my mother's family."

He saw that his concubine didn't know much about these things, and he wanted to take this opportunity to mention it to his concubine.

After all, the blood relationship between the concubines in the harem and the mother clan is a constant and very close connection.

Fu Shun said respectfully: "Not only does the concubine make mistakes that will affect her mother's family, but even the mother's family outside the palace makes mistakes, it will also affect the concubines in the palace."

Otherwise, why do the concubines always want to get a lighter sentence or an innocent sentence from their mother's family? All are prosperous and harmonious!

"Oh!" Qinrou blinked and said this without emotion.

The Hadanala tribe has no sense of presence here. If possible, we would never have any contact with each other for the rest of our lives. So what if her parents are both alive? She has no resentment towards her parents. Qinrou smiled, but she really didn’t have any feelings at all! What feelings can be expected from her?

She thought that they would give her food for a few years, and that would be fine.

As for one day, if they were to be implicated by her, it would only mean that they were unlucky. She had already avoided doing those harmful things.

When she entered the palace, they could also enjoy the honor brought by her entering the palace, right?
Since you enjoy the honor she brings, at the same time, you must also bear the consequences she brings, that's only fair!
Of course, if they had the means to get rid of all the implication they had on her, Qin Rou would not have any resentment. There would be no resentment if someone could get rid of the dirt with their own abilities.

Similarly, if the Nala clan does something unclean, she will never bear the responsibility together, and she will run away if she can! Why should she bear the responsibility for the bad things she didn't do?

If you can't get rid of it completely and you have to share the responsibility, then just leave it to fate.

Fushun had said what he should do, so he retreated. They were slaves, they would make suggestions for things that the master couldn't figure out, and check for omissions and fill in the gaps. But he also has a sense of proportion and rarely goes overboard. Being a slave and trying to be the master of your master is a taboo. ——Except for those whose master is really cowardly and can be bullied.

People are all evil.

Slaves are also human beings, although their superiors do not treat them as human beings. But they lack every bit of greed, cowardice, and ambition in human nature.

'However, it is most taboo for the former dynasty and the harem to collude with each other. Qin Rou also added silently.

This is also the reality of the harem. After all, in so many dynasties, there were many foreign relatives who usurped the country, and the emperors would also learn lessons. Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses; using history as a mirror... you can know the ups and downs.

But she would never say these words. Diseases enter through the mouth, and disasters come out of the mouth. Many words are secrets that a person keeps in his heart forever. They should not be spoken to others, as speaking to them would be harmful.

Qinrou only asked this question about Concubine Bai. Asked and passed. It won't leave any ripples in my heart.

She knew that Concubine Bai would be neglected and bullied by her slaves, but what did that have to do with Qinrou? Don't say that Qinrou is the victim of her harm, even if she is just a bystander.

All Qinrou could do was to watch with cold eyes.

If you want to fight but lose, this is the only outcome. Even if Qinrou is in a different place today, she can't escape the general laws.

She could only accept the consequences.

We are all like this, we can only do our best to protect ourselves. Only when you have enough energy do you protect others!
And it doesn't matter if you can't protect others, that's not your responsibility in the first place.

So don’t worry too much! Otherwise, why would you care?
"Do all the concubines in the harem know what happened to Concubine Bai's mother's family?" Qin Rou suddenly asked again. The affairs of Concubine Bai’s mother’s family must be regarded as matters of the previous dynasty! It is always bad for concubines in the harem to pry.

"Nine times out of ten! Everyone knows." Cangzi replied.

Qinrou was in a daze again!

The queen didn't even mention it in the harem, so the source of the information was improper; and just because the queen didn't mention it when greeting the harem, it means that the queen didn't mean to use it to knock the harem.

The queen may have the intention to communicate with each other through the separation between the former dynasty and the harem! However, the queen is also a human being. How can it be said that someone has ulterior motives if he uses his power but only says a few words?
Moreover, the harem was full of concubines who competed with her for her husband and her son for status. Why shouldn't anyone be resentful? On the surface, the Queen has done an excellent job.

Even Qinrou had to admit it. The empress did a good job on the surface, otherwise the reputation of the empress would not have spread throughout the court and inside, at least there would be some truth in it.

Moreover, even if the queen didn't say anything, she could have given a valid reason that she couldn't tell.

But the queen never said it clearly, but the concubines in the palace knew that in all likelihood, the water in the harem was muddier and deeper than imagined!
Qinrou didn't care, but she still sighed. Times make heroes. I don’t know how many people drowned in this pool of muddy water, but I don’t know how many people were able to climb out, or even worse, stand out!
The latter is even more admirable. The harem is also a battlefield of life and death without blood. Why shouldn’t the victor be looked up to?
