Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 32 Kangxi's Harem Wins Everyday

Looking at the rewards in front of him, An Ning just felt that Kangxi was a person who could get along with others.

He is really willing to give rewards.

In fact, An Ning didn't have a particularly good impression of Kangxi. He treated his sons like dogs. As a person who had received modern education, she couldn't like him. However, he also had many merits.

Being an emperor is considered qualified.

A wise ruler?

It was okay in his early years, but because of him, there were serious party struggles, corruption, and bribery. If it weren't for his successor Yongzheng who carried out major reforms and rectified the bureaucracy, the Qing Dynasty might not have lasted for a few years.

An Ning even thought that it would be a good thing if the Qing Dynasty really died early. Perhaps the new order would bring changes, but she was just thinking about it.

Now that she has such an opportunity, she will not let it go.

Yu Pai An Ning only occasionally went there to kill time. Most of her time was spent in the study, working hard and fulfilling herself in places that Kangxi didn't know about.

She was rarely at ease, the only thing she found inconvenient was that books nowadays had no punctuation marks, and she had to read in short sentences, which took her a long time to get used to.

As for punctuation marks, she had no intention of using them, mainly because she was afraid that time travelers would appear in the future.

There is a reborn Dong E in front of her to support her. As long as she doesn't produce something too time-traveling, even if a time-traveling woman appears, no one will focus on her.

Bai Guo: "My Lady, something happened in Yongshou Palace."

An Ning put down the book and thought of Concubine Wen, who was panting even when she spoke: "But Concubine Wen..."

"Noble Concubine Wen is not feeling well. All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital have gone there."

An Ning stood up and sighed: "Let's go, let's go too, Concubine Wen... What a pity!"

The girls of the Nianhulu clan did not live long in Kangxi's harem, including Concubine Wen and her sister Empress Xiaozhao.

"By the way, please prepare a set of plain clothes for me to change into before going."

"Yes, ma'am."

An Ning took people to Yongshou Palace. When they arrived, many people had already come to Yongshou Palace, including Concubine Yi, Concubine Tong, and several concubines in the western six palaces whose presence was not very strong.

The six eastern palaces were farther away and the news was not shared at the same time, so only Concubine Tong came.

An Ning: "Meet the Imperial Concubine Tong and the Imperial Concubine Yi."

Concubine Tong: "Shupin is here, get up."

An Ning stood up and asked with concern: "I rushed here as soon as I got the news. I wonder how Concubine Wen is doing?"

Concubine Tong had a worried look on her face, and her eyes flashed with grief over the loss of a rabbit and the grief of her own kind. The reason why Concubine Wen was like this was partly because of her poor physical condition, and partly because of Kangxi.

Concubine Wen had no choice but to enter the palace, and the same was true for Concubine Tong.

What makes her better than Concubine Wen is that the Tong family is Kangxi's maternal family, and it is the maternal family that Kangxi has to owe a debt of gratitude. The Qing Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and Kangxi's biological mother died early, so this "filial piety" would naturally be compensated to his maternal family in another way.

Although Concubine Tong was not favored by the emperor, she was very much trusted by Emperor Kangxi and was the nominal leader of the harem.

The reason why it is not actual is mainly because the four concubines have a solid foundation and hold the power in the palace. If she asks for it, the end will be bad.

It was enough in name only, Concubine Tong told herself to be content.

Kangxi's checks and balances within the Nianhulu clan made Concubine Wen exhausted, and coupled with the fact that she did not recover well after giving birth, she ended up in the current situation.

"You are so thoughtful. The imperial physician is guarding inside!"

When Concubine Tong answered the question irrelevantly, An Ning knew that Concubine Wen might not be able to get through this.

The imperial physicians came in and out, and everyone sat there in no mood to talk. After a while, the concubines from the six eastern palaces arrived one after another, and there were too many people.

An Ning sighed again, there were so many people in Kangxi's harem, but it was also really quiet. At this time, apart from asking a few questions when she first arrived, she didn't say anything more after knowing what the situation was.

Suddenly, a maid came out from the bedroom with red eyes.

"This servant greets all the ladies. Young lady, our queen is seriously ill, and the Ninth and Tenth Princes are serving her. The queen wants to see Concubine Yi."

Everyone focused their attention on Concubine Yi's identity.

At this time, the Ninth Prince, born to Concubine Yi, was still relatively young. He was born in the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign and was only a little over 10 years old. He was closer to the Tenth Prince than to his biological brother, the Fifth Prince, who had the same mother as him.

The Tenth Prince was stupid by nature, or rather, Kangxi intended him to be stupid. Concubine Yi knew it very well and was happy that her son and the Tenth Prince were like this.

Concubine De wanted to compete for it, and Concubine Yi naturally wanted to do so as well, but her thoughts were more subtle.

The Ninth Prince was actually quite favored by Kangxi because of Concubine Yi. As for why he did not win the emperor's favor when he grew up, it was mainly because Kangxi did not like him doing business.

There is nothing wrong with doing business, but his methods were not honest, which displeased Kangxi.

The economy was going well, but one of the princes used tricks against the businessmen and caused quite a stir, which Kangxi felt ashamed of.

These are things for the future and have not happened yet. Concubine Yi currently has high hopes for the Ninth Prince!

Concubine Yi gathered her thoughts and said with a sad face, "I will follow you in now."

Concubine Hui looked unhappy: "Sister Wen Guifei and sister Yi Fei have a close relationship. She still remembers to explain at this time."

Rong Fei glanced at Hui Fei and said, "The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince are very close brothers. Concubine Wen is worried about the Tenth Prince, so she naturally has to tell Concubine Yi about it. After hearing what Concubine Hui said, are you envious?"

"But I can only envy him in my heart. The eldest prince is older and has no patience for his younger brothers. He is not very kind to the tenth prince."

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong were concubines of the same period, and their relationship was not harmonious.

The eldest prince was arguing with the crown prince, and the third prince was on the crown prince's side, which made their relationship even worse.

Concubine Hui complained that Concubine Yi could win the favor of Nianhulu just by going in, and Concubine Rong couldn't help but say a few words in reply, aiming to make Concubine Hui feel bad.

"Sister Rong Fei, what you said is biased. As the eldest son, the eldest prince should always set an example for his younger brothers. He is strict with his younger brothers because he wants them to succeed. How can he be impatient? After all, not everyone is like your younger sister. The third prince has to refuse even when he wants to ride a horse."

Concubine Rong didn't look very good.

Kangxi paid great attention to his son's upbringing, and wanted him to be both civil and military. Rong Fei had four sons before the Third Prince, and she loved the Third Prince as if he were her own child, fearing that something might happen to him.

When the Third Prince was learning horse riding and archery, Rong Fei went to the Qianqing Palace in person to ask Kangxi to exempt the Third Prince from the horse riding and archery courses.

As a result, she was scolded by Kangxi, who accused her of being "womanly".

The Third Prince continued to learn riding and archery, and Rong Fei therefore gained a reputation for doting on her son.

Seeing that the two were getting more and more outrageous, Concubine Tong immediately turned cold and said, "Okay, both of you should stop talking. I have already sent someone to invite the emperor over. It would be disgraceful for the emperor to see you making such a fuss."

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong stood up and admitted their mistakes.

The matter was finally settled.

Coincidentally, Concubine Yi came out, bringing the Ninth Prince with her. Both of them had slightly red eyes. It was unknown whether Concubine Yi was really sad, but she seemed to be really sad for Concubine Wen. The Ninth Prince looked as if his mother had died, and it was no wonder that the Tenth Prince kept talking about him later.

Looking at the competition for the throne among the nine princes during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, it is not difficult to see that the Tenth Prince could have stayed out of it. His mother's family was really good, and he had no intention of competing for the throne. No matter who the next emperor was, he was at least a prince.

The reason why he was involved in the fight for the throne was, on the one hand, that the Eighth Prince was eloquent, and on the other hand, that the Tenth Prince always followed the Ninth Prince's footsteps. The Ninth Prince followed the Eighth Prince, and the Tenth Prince supported the Ninth Prince.
