Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 132 (Fanwai 4) Empress Renxiao: Hesheli Jiaxiu ([-]) Concubine

(4) concubines

In the early spring of the sixth year, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Hui entered the palace. Concubine Zhao had the arrogance of noble birth. On the day she entered the palace, she came to see me. We recalled the scene when we were married by the Empress Dowager when we were young. Concubine Zhao said no. What I thought was that I was luckier than her, I became a queen, and she was just a concubine, I smiled and said nothing.

She is a concubine, in charge of the Zhongcui Palace, while Concubine Hui is very quiet, quietly following Concubine Zhao, unable to see her mood.Later Zhang promised to come and tell me that when they went to see Concubine Zhao, Concubine Zhao was very rude to them.

Obviously Concubine Zhao was wrong. In this palace, it is not whoever has a prominent family background who is the most favored by the emperor. The emperor has the strength of the emperor. He can only be kind but not blackmailed. If you can't see yourself clearly in this palace position, it is doomed to never be favored.

Therefore, Concubine Zhao's mentality has already determined that it will be difficult for her to be loved by the emperor, and I will keep this in mind, and respect my grandfather's teachings, to satisfy the emperor with my generosity and conduct, maybe All I ask of myself is to be a good empress. When the emperor mentions Jiaxiu, he will say: "She is a qualified empress." Maybe I will be satisfied with this.

Before entering the palace, my grandfather also told me that the late emperor's Concubine Jing was originally the first empress of the late emperor, but she was deposed because of jealousy and arrogance, so I should respect the queen's demeanor and not be arrogant in the harem. These are deeply buried in my heart.

In April of the ninth year, the emperor's Mongolian concubine Aruna entered the palace. I didn't see her. I heard that she caught wind and cold on the road, but I didn't expect that she said it was smallpox a few days later and died early. The empress dowager and The queen mother is very sad, and I also feel sorry for her. She came from the Mongolian grassland so far away, but returned to the west early. She was posthumously named Concubine Hui. Now that I think about it, Aruna was the first woman of the emperor to die. And I... will be the second.

This year, Yi Ying, Ma Ying, and Dong Ying were conferred one after another, and Yi and Ma Ying were promoted because of their father's promotion. Is this their happiness?I don't know, because this year, Chengrui died, and the emperor's heart and soul were only with Rong'er. They were nothing more than adding a few more miserable women to the harem. have no choice.In fact, think about it, there is nothing to complain about, is there?The emperor is the son of heaven, and we are destined to be the son of the emperor, this is already a great blessing, right?

In 12, that is, last year, Zhao Ying, Bu Ying, and An Ying entered the palace at the same time, and the emperor's harem began to be enriched. This is the emperor's harem, right?There are 72 concubines in the Six Courts of the Sangong, this is the harem of the Tang Dynasty emperors in the history of the Central Plains, and now the Manchus have won the world, although they are not called this way, but there are always women. My heart is actually very peaceful. Well, the emperor is everyone's emperor, not anyone's emperor in this palace, even Rong'er, she can't enjoy it to herself.

In the past few months, the emperor has always favored An and agreed. I don't know why, but the emperor seems to take less care of Rong'er. I often see Rong'er's gloomy eyes. She just lost the prince and fell out of favor. I know she is very sad. , I gently shake her hand, she will know what I want to say, no matter who the emperor favors, we should not be jealous, I believe she knows, and will do so for the rest of her life.

I——I am Hesheli Jiaxiu, but in this palace, I only have one title: empress, everyone calls me empress, even the emperor has never called me by my name, empress is a title, it is more a responsibility, and at the same time Pressure, every woman in the harem should live in harmony, I am cautious, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the late emperor Concubine Jing, so I carefully do what the emperor of the harem should do, and work hard to mediate among all the concubines Considering everyone's emotions, I think I didn't do very well, but I... really tried my best.

[The internet at home is down, from last night until today, I thought it couldn’t be updated, and I don’t know how to notify everyone, but it suddenly miraculously went down, but I suddenly found a problem, Yuetong said that every day It is updated, but what if suddenly one day the update cannot be updated and the Internet cannot be accessed?How do I notify everyone?Worry~~ So if one day it suddenly disappears for a day, it’s not that I don’t update or say hello, it must be due to objective reasons, otherwise I will definitely see updates every day~ Due to some objective reasons, I can’t write today.
