Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Don't cry?" Xuan Ye gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked her softly, "What did Wu Yalan Qi promise me?"

Lan Qi smiled softly: "The concubine promised the emperor to stay with him for the rest of his life. So the emperor should not get sick again, endure hardships by himself, and torment the concubine so hard."

Xuan Ye put a smile on her face and said: "I only have a few days, and I can always see you day and night."

Lan Qi turned her face away, she couldn't see each other clearly because they were too close, she stretched out her finger and lightly poked the emperor's cheek, "Your Majesty is talking nonsense, how can a few days of illness compare with decades of a lifetime?"

Xuan Ye was very relieved, nodded and smiled: "It makes sense, Wu Changzai is not always stupid, and occasionally he says a few words of great truth, even I am amazed."

Lan Qi smiled coquettishly: "That's not true. The concubine will give birth to a little elder brother in the future, so we can't let him follow Erniang's stupidity, lest he will be disliked by Ama."

Xuan Ye suddenly came up to her, slid his hand on her flat and smooth belly, and smiled heavily: "So there is a little Chang here, who wants to give birth to a little brother?"

Lan Qi was so ashamed, she begged for mercy, "No, no, no, Your Majesty... tonight, it's not possible."

However, spring is boundless. Xiao Chang once said that the emperor can eat whatever he wants. How can the young emperor, who is full of blood, live up to this beautiful summer night. The Qianqing Palace, which was gloomy due to the emperor's illness, has been full of spring flowers since that night. Vitality was restored.

Lan Qi went back to Zhongcui Palace to rest the next day. Although Xuan Ye loved deeply, the government should not be neglected. That night Lan Qi offered to leave, although it made the emperor lose his temper, she could coax her a few words and knew it herself. Remembering that the government was wrong for a day or two, and feeling sorry for Lan Qi's hard work day and night, she was asked to go back to rest the next day. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager also gave rewards to her for her contribution to serving the sick.

But the concubine's bedtime will be recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it will naturally be spread, so some jealous people can't help but gossip, saying that Wu Chang went to bed in bed, and said that he would seduce the emperor regardless of his illness. No matter what, Concubine Zhao in Yikun Palace might not feel well, so Quan pretended not to hear it and let these ugly words go around.

Two or three days later, Lan Qi had recuperated by herself, and then she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to invite her. On the way, she met various palaces to ask for peace, but she was declined, and she came back in twos and threes. She made fun of it, but since Mrs. Yigui had a small childbirth, she rarely went out, even if she met someone, she would leave with no more than a nod. Today, seeing Lan Qi standing by the side of the road, she just smiled coldly and left.

Lan Qi heard Xiangyue say softly behind her: "Concubine Tong has changed her mind?" She couldn't help but look at the back of Concubine Tong going away, feeling inexplicably inexplicable in her heart.

Just as she was watching, another person came up ahead, and it was Mrs. An Gui who was followed by a few Chang Zai who agreed, she yelled and laughed, "Look who is here, sisters, don't you hurry up and say hello?"

Seeing a few people agreeing to come over to salute, Lan Qi was very uncomfortable, but she also greeted Mrs. An with courtesy, but Mrs. An helped her hair bun and sneered: "Wu Changzai doesn't dare to do this, you are a celebrity everywhere , We are so unknown, we are rushing to greet you, and begging you to hold your hand high and give us a bite of food."

Very unpleasant words, but Mrs. An has always been open-minded, and she was able to bluff people at first, but after a long time, she realized that she only had a strong mouth and was not intimidating.

"Sister An, don't say that. Turning around, Wu Changzai casually slipped a few words in front of the Empress Dowager, and we will never try to get ahead." There is also the shameless little Changzai who is also jealous of Wu Yashi's scenery, sour He echoed from the side, "We have no skills. We are not capable of serving the sick on the bed. We are born without this skill, and we will not be able to learn it now or in the future."

Looking at their faces, Lan Qi suddenly felt that after she became the emperor's woman, the biggest change was her sympathy and pity at every turn. From Concubine Tong to these people, her lowly little presence is really endless. At this moment, I feel sorry for them again in my heart, and I can't help but sigh, and said to the nobleman, "I want to go to the Palace of Compassion, and I can't stay with the nobleman for a long time. I will invite the nobleman to sit in the Zhongcui Palace some other day."

A polite sentence, Zhou Zheng's etiquette, Lan Qi led Xiangyue to the Palace of Mercy Ning, and the people behind her didn't know when they dispersed, but before they could go far, they heard a sentence: "I went to the Palace of Zhongcui, but I can't wait." I'm going to let the vixen get on me."

Xiangyue angrily followed behind Lan Qi, and when she was about to enter the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Lan Qi turned around and saw her pouted, and coaxed her with a smile: "Don't be angry, let the mother see it after a while. It's nothing, if you cause any trouble, you will be fined to kneel down again when you go back to Huanchun."

Xiangyue was very unconvinced: "But sister Huanchun must not listen to these words."

"Speaking a few words can do anything to me. I was so angry that I lost my temper and hurt my body, so I fell for others." Lan Qi patted her on the head, "Hurry up and smile, and the mother will reward you with fruit later."

After entering the Palace of Compassion and Ning, they saw that the palace was busy. It turned out that the Empress Dowager had guests here, and the concubines wanted to make fun of them, but they were politely rejected. Naturally, they looked at Wu Changzai differently. brought her in.

Aunt Su Mala inside heard the movement, came out with a smile, and said, "You're getting thinner again, the master is distressed every day and says that this time you have been tossed to death."

Lan Qi smiled coquettishly: "At that moment, you should help me to win some rewards from the Empress Dowager."

After entering the door, she saw a stranger in front of the Empress Dowager, and the mother introduced her, "It's Princess Gongxi and her son-in-law who just came back from Shengjing."

When the hatchback met the ceremony, the forehead saw the concubine coming, and it was inconvenient for the male relatives to be in front of him, so he took the initiative to retreat to another place. He was very cautious in his words and deeds. Is that Wu Chang there?"

The Empress Dowager laughed, "You know that too?"

The Eldest Princess had a faint mournful look on her face, as if she was trying to smile: "The grandson and the forehead are in Shengjing every day to pay homage to the capital, to pray for the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's wife and the emperor, and naturally they often hear the officials who come and go say something. Regarding the affairs in the court, we know that there is a Wu Changzai who is very fond of the emperor."

The empress dowager also sighed quietly: "I have wronged you. Fortunately, the emperor misses family affection the most. Now your husband has also mentioned the prince as a teacher, and the future is boundless. You should rest assured that you will care for your husband and teach your son, and urge him to be loyal to the emperor. Your own dignity must not be lost. Yes, the lintel of the husband's house will rise one day."

Lan Qi has been with the Empress Dowager for so long, the elders of the royal family have been clearly distinguished, and some of the juniors of the same generation know a little bit about it. Although the biological mother of Princess Gongxi is from a humble background, she is always the daughter of the Royal Princess Shunzhi , the nephew who was married to Oboi back then, didn't want to be implicated that year, and moved back to Shengjing with her husband to escape. I also heard that the emperor will call them back this year, and they really came back.

"Grandson remembers." Princess Gongxi smiled, looked at Lan Qi again and said, "Today I entered the palace in a hurry, so I didn't have time to prepare any greetings, so don't mind Wu Chang being here."

Lan Qi leaned forward and smiled: "The princess is polite, but the empress dowager likes the company of her children and grandchildren the most. You often come to the palace, so the empress dowager should be happy."

"She has the sweetest mouth. Even though she is young, she is very considerate." The Empress Dowager smiled, and with her granddaughter beside her, she pulled Lan Qi to sit by her side, and frowned while pinching her arms, " It's not that I'm exhausted, your arm is ten years younger than me, and it can be broken with one hand."

Seeing that they are so close, Princess Gongxi felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about her own situation, and felt that it would be embarrassing to be by her side, so she said that she and her son-in-law would go to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager also said: "It's time to go, she is impatient, you take a look, or you must come here first to join in the fun."

After the eldest princess left, Lan Qi asked herself if she should also go to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects, but the Empress Dowager said, "Concubine Zhao is serving her attentively there. It was a good intention of you to go, but she wants to think that you are going to steal her. Credit. An Anxin is here with me, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I always look at Su Mala's wrinkled face and chatter, and I have a terrible headache."

Aunt Su Mala was sending the eldest princess back, and she laughed when she heard this half sentence: "Master, you'd better hang out with your servants, the emperor won't allow you to pester Wu Chang around like this every day."

Lan Qi knew what Mammy said, she blushed and bowed her head in silence. The Empress Dowager laughed at her: "Why are you shy? Let me ask you, have you taken good care of yourself after that day? But what if there is good news? Can't tell, you girl is very clever."

Lan Qi thought of those ugly rumors, and didn't know how the Empress Dowager thought about it, she felt a little timid in her heart, and said softly: "The concubine must be careful in the future, and dare not let the emperor be emotional when he is sick."

The Empress Dowager actually laughed out loud, hugged her affectionately and said: "Silly girl, my own grandson doesn't know that he is going to fall in love, and you can still let me say no?"

Lan Qi's face was burning hot, but her heart was full of joy. These days, gossip and gossip entered Zhongcui Palace. She didn't show it on the face, but she still cared very much in her heart. She kept thinking about how to explain to the old man, but he just Be happy for yourself.

"I hope that you will give birth to a little elder brother and a little princess earlier. With such a good temper, it will be good for the child to follow his mother. In the future, he will guard the country for his Ama and assist the prince. When I think of the future prosperity of the royal family , I really want God to reward me with a few more decades of living." The empress dowager said, adding to the sadness of the old age, and the nostalgia for the world between her eyes and eyebrows is very distressing.

"The concubine must take good care of her body." Lan Qi coaxed her with a smile, for fear that the empress dowager would be sad about getting old again, and talk nonsense about things that were difficult to take care of when the emperor was sick. Leading Princess Chunxi to pay her respects, seeing Jiao Didi's little granddaughter playing with the Empress Dowager for a long time, her mood improved even more.

But in the evening, Lan Qi served the dinner and was cooking honey tea in the pantry, when she heard people coming and going outside, and when she came out with the tea, she saw little eunuchs running in and out from time to time to deliver messages, and only listened when she approached the main hall Said that the emperor suddenly summoned the ministers to discuss the matter of San Francisco, and it is not yet known whether it is joy or worry.
