Chapter 231 The contrast is sharp
The censor got up and seized on the fact that Concubine Niu Hulu did not attend the funeral of the second elder brother, and chased her fiercely in the court.
The courtiers of the Niu Hulu clan just tried their best to defend themselves. They were so low-key and stable, as if they had really done something wrong.
However, the fact is not true. The Niu Hulu clan also has its own reasons. Qin Rouguang heard a few words in the harem and felt "lively". It is conceivable what kind of commotion was going on in the previous court. Kangxi must have had a headache?
It’s not easy to be an emperor! Qinrou sighed to herself. With too many interests in her hands, there were too many people staring at them. Everyone wanted them, but everyone wanted to grab them.
There was a lot of commotion in the court, and the Kunning Palace and Yongshou Palace in the harem were both very quiet. This made the concubines even more uneasy. They couldn't figure out what the queen in the palace and Niu Hulu were thinking, so they became even more worried. I’m just afraid that I’ll step on a thunder! Both sides are offended.
Surviving in the cracks is not easy either.
At this extremely quiet time in the palace, no one dared to mention that the birth date of Concubine Nala in Yanxi Palace was coming soon.
I am afraid that I will bore the queen. If you think about it, the queen just lost her second elder brother. In just one or two days, is she sad? At this time, the emperor's heir to the concubine Nala in the Yanxi Palace was about to be born and moved to another place. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to worry about it.
And the concubine Nala in Yanxi Palace did not dare to mention it. Her natal Enie is still there, and according to the rules, when her birth date is approaching, her natal Enie can come to the palace to accompany the birth for twenty days.
It was supposed to be arranged by the Queen, but Concubine Nala did not dare to mention it to the Queen.
It’s just that the stormy situation in the palace is about to happen now. Concubine Nala of Yanxi Palace would rather not mention it than take a step in and attract the hatred of the concubine of the palace.
Qinrou also heard Xiaoman mention it, and recalled that there was such a rule in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. When a concubine was about to give birth, she could ask the queen to ask for nirvana from her natal family or for her sister-in-law to enter the palace to accompany the childbirth. , with a generous homesickness, it also enables the concubines to give birth with peace of mind.
Qinrou’s first reaction was, “Why didn’t Concubine Ma Jia’s mother-in-law come to accompany her when she was giving birth?”
Concubine Ma Jia gave birth first, and Concubine Yehenala gave birth first. After giving birth, Qinrou remembered clearly that even if she continued to ignore worldly affairs, if outsiders entered the palace, it would be the same as an earthquake in the palace. She couldn't be ignorant of it, and she didn't even know about it!
Xiaoman's expression was strange, and he said softly to Qinju: "Concubine I don't know and I am not surprised that Concubine Ma Jia's Ama passed away in March. She was wearing a filial piety and was not suitable to enter the palace to take care of the concubine and the emperor's heir. ”
Therefore, neither Concubine Ma Jia’s Eni nor her Asha, nor anyone else, could enter the palace to serve the concubine’s delivery.
Death in the family is always unlucky.
The first thing Qinrou wanted to ask was: "How old is her Ama?" Speaking of which, Concubine Ma Jia was not much older than her. Generally speaking, Concubine Ma Jia's Ama was Not much bigger.
Of course, it would be a different matter if Ma Jia, the concubine, and Amma were a latecomer.
After all, Concubine Ma Jia's concubine Ama was an official in the court and was a fifth-grade Yuanwailang. At this time, the concubine system was becoming popular, and Ma Jia's house was considered a family of officials, so it was not surprising that there were concubines in the house.
"After careful calculation, Mr. Gaishan will be thirty-seven this year." Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen turned her eyes to Fushun, and Fushun quickly replied.
Ma Jia’s concubine’s Ama, Ma Jia Gaishan.
Aunt Chen also said: "It is true that at this age, although Concubine Ma Jia is a concubine, speaking of it," Aunt Chen said softly: "The distinction between concubines and concubines is also clear in the family. After leaving the family and entering the husband's family, the legitimate daughters and concubines represent the lintel of the family, and naturally they are fully supported."
Therefore, in the palace, the concubines are not born as concubines. , not that important at all. For example, the Empress and Concubine Niu Hulu were not both concubines, but they still occupied unique high positions in the palace.
However, on the contrary, it is very important whether the emperor's heirs have a good birth. Just like the second elder brother, he is the direct descendant of the queen, so he needs to be taken more seriously than the other elder brothers. Let's just say that among the emperors who ascended the throne in history, several of them were not born well, even in name only.
Aunt Chen consciously took on the responsibility of educating the grandmother, teaching the concubine the rules in a subtle way. It's not that the concubine didn't learn well. On the contrary, the mother-in-law taught her with all her heart. However, how deep the friendship between the mother-in-law and the concubine can be. Even if she taught, she only taught some common rules in the palace.
If it is deeper, they will naturally not be able to teach. After all, the superiors in the palace and the nurturing mothers would only ask the concubines to be obedient! Follow orders.
With all this, it is not impossible to seek a chance of survival in the palace! But it’s difficult to make long-term demands.
Aunt Chen spoke straightforwardly, and Qin Rou could understand it clearly. She thought deeply, so Concubine Yehenara should have invited Eni or Asha from her family to accompany her during the birth. It was just because the queen was suffering from the loss of her son and she was about to welcome a new emperor. Hey, the contrast is so sharp, it's strange that the queen can be happy.
This is human nature.
It is better to do less than to do more. For some reason, Concubine Yehenara did not mention it to the queen.
The concubine Yehenala did not mention it, and Qinrou just pretended not to know. No one has the great merit of sacrificing himself for others if he only sweeps away the snow on his own.
Who is not a life, who is not a body. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you; in other words, if you don't want to do it, am I willing to risk my life to do it for you?
What's more, to her, Concubine Yehenala was just an insignificant person.
Concubine Yehenala and Concubine Ma Jia asked Aunt Chen to teach Qinrou a lesson and then they passed.
Qin Rou rolled her eyes in her heart: To put it bluntly, it was just for profit.
It’s just that they all put on the cloak of civilization.
There are many things, that is. Know! But can't say it out loud.
Because she was not sure whether anyone in this palace had an extra tongue, or whether he had an extraneous heart.
“Quite young.” Qin Rou was a bit untrue and answered incorrectly. Suddenly, she realized that after entering the palace, she had frequently been in contact with dead people, directly and indirectly, which made Qin Rou inevitably feel a little dazed.
The distance between life and death is really very close, just a stone's throw away. Maybe it comes suddenly at a certain moment every day.
Qinrou was in a daze for a moment, then her heartbeat calmed down. What she expressed was that Concubine Ma Jia’s concubine Ama died quite young.
But it’s also strange that after they entered the palace, they didn’t hear a single word from anyone. It’s quite strange that there are so many slaves and concubines in the harem, all with the same tongue, and they keep silent about the death of Ma Jia’s concubine Ama;
Is it because Concubine Ma Jia is pregnant? So as not to irritate her?
Qin Rou feels that she is learning more and more about the secrets in the palace.
"Death is the most unreasonable." Aunt Chen said. People die at any time, regardless of whether they are old, weak, sick, disabled or pregnant; Aunt Chen also knew that Concubine Ma Jia's concubine Ama died young, but this was the fact.
