Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi didn't dare to speculate wildly, but she also sweated for Concubine Tong. In the next few days, the emperor came to see Chengqian Palace, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhao also came to see her. After all, the concubine's baby was not saved.Maybe it was the reason that Bu Chang said, otherwise Concubine Tong looked at a very healthy person on weekdays, and really couldn't figure out why she couldn't keep her child.

However, the child in Rong Guiren's womb is safe and sound, and the younger brother's illness in the elder brother's office is also cured. Compared with it, it seems that Chengqian Palace is not blessed.

In the twelfth lunar month, when Lan Qi came to Chengqian Palace with all the concubines to pay her respects, she met Concubine Tong once.

The emperor never lost his consolation to Chengqian Palace, he would be rewarded the next day, and he would come to see it in four or five days, and stayed with her for the first two days after the seal. Your body should be much better.

Although Shengen is tireless, Chengqian Palace always looks a bit clean and pitiful, but at this moment, both inside and outside the palace are busy with the Spring Festival, and the lights and festivities are so lively, it is like a different world from the scene here.

Bu Changzai and Lan Qi also cut a lot of window grilles, it was rare for her to rest for a day in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the two sisters were laying on the kang to put on window grilles together, a few days ago the Empress Dowager kindly asked my elder brother to bring Duan Jing to the bell After playing in the Palace for two days, she also promised to let the leader come back to live in the first month. Bu Changzai is full of energy. This year's Chinese New Year is happier than any other time. Treat them like sisters.

But compared to Chengqian Palace, Zhongcui Palace did not dare to be too extravagant. It only pasted window grilles, couplets and lanterns and colored balls inside the palace, and outside the door was only pasted the golden sand blessing character bestowed by the emperor. Too outstanding.

While they were bustling and bustling, someone from the Palace of Compassionate Ning invited Lan Qi over, Bu Chang was smiling: "The Empress Dowager really likes you, and I agreed to let you rest at home for a day today, so I miss you again."

Lan Qi smiled leisurely and said: "I went to ask for the reward from the Empress Dowager, and I will share it with my sister."

I came to the Palace of Compassionate Peace in a good mood, because Lan Qi was here every day, no one would stop her from entering and exiting the Palace of Compassionate Ning, and she came to the bedroom by familiar ways, just thinking about what the Empress Dowager wanted her to do, but before she could After entering the door, I heard Aunt Su Mala say: "Physician Liang has also seen Wu Changzai's pulse case. Wu Changzai is much loved but has never been pregnant. What's the reason?"

I only heard an old doctor say: "The old minister has seen that Wu Chang had a serious illness before. I am afraid that the residual cold in his body has not cleared up. Since he is too spoiled and unable to conceive, it must be cold in the palace. The cold in the palace cannot be cured in a few days or months. Be patient."

Then I heard the Empress Dowager say: "There are prescriptions for good medicine and good ingredients, let the child take care of it, and I can't always work on her here. I work hard every day, and there is still time to take care of my body."

Aunt Su Mala said: "I'm afraid that the little girls like Yukui can't handle it well. It happens that the master has to cook tonic medicine here every day, and this servant will open another stove to cook medicine for Chang Zai, let her drink it with you, and go back home." Maybe she will eat Xu in a few days, don't look cute and gentle, you also have a big temper, Huanchun and the others can't persuade her."

"That's good, I watch her take medicine every day..."

Outside the palace gate, Lan Qi's heart sank, and she couldn't help pressing her hands on her lower abdomen, as if the chill from standing barefoot on the ground that day rushed there again, her heart was so sad, but she couldn't tell anyone.

"Chang Zai is here, why don't you come in." Aunt Su Mala sent the imperial doctor out, saw Lan Qi, she responded timidly, and entered the door to greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager laughed at her, "I also learned to listen to the wall. Bad feet? I'm going to punish you." It can be seen that Lan Qi is full of grievances, and she coaxes distressedly, "It's good to hear that, you have a plan in mind, follow me from tomorrow to nourish and recuperate, and your body will recover , there is always your blessing.”

Lan Qi agreed: "The concubine is wronged, but I don't dare to bother you so much. How can my concubine, He De, want you to be so pampered?"

But the old man said affectionately: "When I entered the winter in the old year, I always suffered from cold symptoms several times. Even if Su Mala worked so hard, I couldn't avoid it. You have followed me this year. You know the cold and the heat better than anyone else. You Look at my spirit, the emperor said a few days ago, go hunting in the spring, and then take us girls to join in the fun, good boy, take care of yourself, I look forward to seeing you give birth to me A great-grandson."

"The empress dowager..." Lan Qi couldn't help sobbing, and fell on the empress dowager's lap.

The old man seldom saw her cry, and he knew how wronged she was by this matter, so he kept it in his heart and never told anyone. He was always cheerful in front of people.But she looks good, and the emperor likes her, but there has been no good news, and she has been secretly mean and bitter. She looks favored, but in fact, there are many unsatisfactory things in her life, but she has a good temper and can bear everything .

Aunt Su Mala came back, pulled Lan Qi to coax her not to cry, and said with a smile: "From tomorrow onwards, you must obediently follow the master to take medicine. Huanchun told you that everything is fine, but this is the most troublesome thing. After the year is over, Changzai is one year older, so I can't embarrass this old nun."

Xiao Chang was in a better mood, and laughed with tears in his eyes, and said coquettishly: "Who dares to embarrass you, the Empress Dowager will be the first to refuse, I still have people who are afraid."

Suddenly there was more laughter in the room, the Empress Dowager came to her, it was because the beads on her favorite emerald jade tinsel were loose, and Aunt Su Mala's eyes were not as good as before, she couldn't take care of them, and she was thinking about how she always To receive the royal relatives and dignitaries to greet Ann and pay respects, she couldn't be rude in front of others, so she rushed to call Lan Qi to clean up.

At this moment, Mrs. Huigui was delivering things for the Mingzhu Mansion, standing in front of her and joking with the Empress Dowager. Lan Qi came from behind, saluted Mrs. Huigui first, and then held the tin and said: "This is the skill of the superior, my concubine." If I can’t figure it out, what kind of hooks do I need to use to make it, Mammy hasten to ask the people from the sewing room to have a look.”

But Hui Gui said: "Then there is no need to look for it. The little maid who came with the concubine is from the sewing room. She is very dexterous. Can you ask her to have a look?"

The Empress Dowager never shy away from these things. It didn't matter who took care of them, so she let them take them away. Not long after a few people had said a few words, the little palace lady came in with the pearls in her hands, and the scattered beads were neatly thrown away. Restored and looking like new.Aunt Su Mala exclaimed, "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this palace, so dexterous at such a young age."

The Empress Dowager was very happy, although it was easy for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find a new one, but the old man was frugal and nostalgic, and he was not willing to replace the things he was used to, but now he could wear them decently, so Su Ma La rewarded her well, Huigui smiled leisurely and jokingly said: "The concubine sent something filial to Mingzhu, and you didn't say to give it a reward, but this little girl is blessed."

Lan Qi also happily stood on the side watching, looking at it, she felt as if she had seen this little palace lady somewhere, but she couldn't turn around for a while, and then the little palace lady went out, everyone joked, and gradually forget.

After the young year, the Empress Dowager didn’t stick to Lan Qi’s presence here. Except for taking tonics with her every morning and evening, she spent most of the time serving in the Qing Palace. Xuan Ye also heard about the coldness in her body. On that day, Daxue Lanqi eagerly wanted to go for a stroll in the garden, but was reprimanded by the emperor: "Which one rolled in the snow in the past and got wet? You still want to play in the snow. When will you take care of yourself?" Think about it, I will read the scriptures for a while, you dare to go out and try."

Xiao Chang had a good temper recently, and when the emperor said so, he just slumped his face and ignored people all day long, but Eunuch Li was happy when he saw it. To coax the emperor to be happy, like Wu Changzai who doesn't hide and hide the truth, it's no wonder the emperor likes it. Even Empress Hesheli dare not argue with the emperor. Going back, the emperor was never annoyed, at most the two of them would not talk for a long time, and whoever laughed and coaxed first at night would be fine again.He has seen everything in this palace, and he also knows that the emperor really likes this little Chang Zai.

In the days before the emperor's seal on New Year's Eve, although Wu Yashi was almost always with her, but the actual bedtime days were very few, and the emperor seemed to think about her frail body, so he was more considerate and cared for her. Naturally, this inevitably attracted rumors, and I heard that the Empress Dowager gave a small stove to boil tonics, which made people jealous.

But now if there is any word against Wu Changzai, it will be suppressed in a few days. I always feel that someone is secretly trying to force it, but the Palace of Compassion and Peace has always ignored these things, and gradually people are aware of it. , Concubine Zhao is protecting Zhongcui Palace.Then someone said that she did this deliberately to please the emperor, but they didn't know the helplessness and grievance behind her.

But no matter if she was wronged or helpless, the emperor also gave her the honor she deserved. It was the New Year's Eve banquet, and it was the first time for Concubine Zhao to sit with the emperor. Xuan Ye's arrangement obviously implied that the government and the public had the intention of establishing a queen in the coming year. After the death of Empress Hesheli, the seat next to the emperor was vacant for a long time.At that time, Concubine Tong was raising her body alone in Chengqian Palace.

After the New Year's Eve, the emperor sealed his seal and was busy with court affairs. Even though it was the first month, he was no less leisurely than usual, so Lan Qi seldom served in Qianqing Palace.

On the sixth day of the lunar new day, the old concubines entered the palace to greet them. Aunt Su Ma pulled Lan Qi aside and said, "Go back and have a rest. I heard that the emperor sent a reward to Zhongcui Palace. Go back and have a look, Mrs. You don't need to be in front of the concubines to talk."

Lan Qi readily agreed, and left after being blessed outside the door, thinking about what Xuan Ye would give her again, even if it was some esoteric book, if he wanted to bully her now, he would give her a book I came to torture her to recite, but I was always happy to be remembered by others, so I ran back happily, but saw Huanchun and the others waiting in the yard, and saw that they were all mysterious. Push her into the house.

After opening the door curtain and going in, they saw a man dressed as a minister standing in the room, and there was a woman beside him. When they heard the movement and turned around, they couldn't help being stunned when they saw each other.

Lan Qi suddenly came to a stand, and saw her father and mother bowing down to her deeply, she was so shocked that she also bent her knees and rushed forward, weeping and calling out to Ama Erniang, she was very grateful in her heart, Xuan Ye never mentioned it to her, but Such great grace was given to her.
