Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Last night, Yigui could see you, and Wu Changzai could bump into you. I'm sure there is someone who didn't say anything, and Wu Changzai may have told everyone." Huigui sighed, "From today From now on, follow me all the time, I will take you generously so that people will not be suspicious, and you must keep your eyes open, you can always keep your head down, but you can scare yourself by yourself If you lose your composure, you’re going to get it right.”

"Slaves, remember, thank you nobleman, the Grand Duke..."

"Shut up!" Hui Gui was furious, with rare sharp eyes, and stared fiercely at the maid, "That's why I told you to keep your eyes shut, don't you understand if you don't say a word to keep your mouth shut? I want you!" Life is so easy, if you don't want to live anymore, tell me early, and I don't have to worry about it for you."

At this time, a palace maid outside reported: "Master, the emperor is coming back soon, we should go."

"What are you doing in a daze, come and change my clothes." Huigui scolded in a cold voice, and when he was fully dressed, he went outside, chatting and laughing with everyone, and soon the emperor came back from hunting and brought his prey to honor the empress dowager. Lan Qi was still not around, he wanted to go and have a look, but Mama Su Ma saw what was on her mind and persuaded her with a smile, "If the wind and cold infect the emperor, I will feel guilty for staying here, just wait a moment." Just wait a few days and return to the palace to take care of him."

Xuan Ye also knew the seriousness, what Mammy said was equivalent to what his grandmother meant, if he insisted on going his own way, he would only cause trouble in the past, but now he knows how to truly cherish and care for the woman he loves, and will not be as impulsive and reckless as before.

If so until returning to Luan the next day, Wu Changzai was not seen in front of people. Rumor has it that he contracted a cold and fell ill, and some female family members murmured whether they were sick, and Xuan Ye had to wait on the imperial grandmother to get into the chariot. The report said that Ronggui gave birth to a little elder brother, mother and child were safe, and the Sacred Heart was happy.

On the way back, Mr. Yigui insisted on getting together with Mr. Hui and Mr. Duangui in a carriage, saying that it would be lively, and when women get together, they must gossip. What, mentioning Wu Changzai, tsk-tsk: "Is she also shy? Why did she get sick so well? Maybe it's because she was shy and didn't dare to say it out for fear of ruining her luck, so she quietly hid it."

Duan Guiren said: "If this is the case, it is a good thing. The emperor likes her so much. I think he has been looking forward to it for a long time. Of course, he must be very careful. I heard that Madam Su Ma has already visited her. If she is sick, then it will be better. , if happy, let’s wait for the day to congratulate.”

But Huigui asked: "How long has Madam Su Ma been away? If it's cold, you shouldn't be here."

"I heard that they went in and talked for a long time." Yigui gave a yell, clapped his hands and said, "It must be a happy event, if it is sick, the mother has to take care of the Empress Dowager, how can she talk for so long in close proximity. "

Duan Guiren smiled and said: "If that's the case, wait until you say it some other day, and you can go to Zhongcui Palace to win the prize."

Yigui said cheerfully, "That's right, Wu Chang has a lot of good things in the palace." But then he smiled wryly and sighed, "I'm afraid that someone is watching over my place, and someone's heart is sour, so I can't be happy for her. .”

"Sister, you mean the imperial concubine?" Huigui asked her for some reason, "Is the imperial concubine still controlling you like before?"

"That's not it, you still treated me as if I had just entered the palace." Yigui curled her lips and said disdainfully, "But I'm about to pass out, isn't the list of household draft picks already up, her sister She must enter the palace, she can just train her own sister in the future, how can I, a little nobleman, get into her eyes? Thinking about it makes me happy."

Huigui said softly: "Regardless of whether there is a younger sister coming in or not, it will be sealed after the general election. I'm afraid they will go to live in the Central Palace, so I won't bother to care about you anymore."

Duangui raised her eyes and looked at Huigui. Although she usually said these things, she only said these things in front of herself or Ronggui. Although Yigui was not as out of touch as An Guiren, she was too careless to talk to her. What Huigui said today But there are too many.

I don't know if Mrs. Huigui is conscious, I talked a lot with Mrs. Yigui along the way, and the questions seem to be about the daily living habits of the noble concubine. Although she and Concubine Zhao entered the palace early, they have not been in close contact, and it has not been so many years The Yigui people who live under the same roof now know a lot, and they chatted like a joke but not a joke all the way, but Duangui didn't change his face when he saw it.

When Yu Jia returned to the imperial city, Concubine Zhao had already brought people to wait, and together with the emperor, she served the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassion, and the rest of them dispersed immediately.Because there were ministers in the car, Mr. Huigui walked a few steps slowly, and someone around him invited Mingzhu to come to him, and the two spoke openly in front of them, although others might not be able to hear what they said, but judging by the expressions on their faces, It seems to be a very happy thing.

But in fact, when Huigui saw Mingzhu, he said: "I'm talking about one thing here. Listen, don't show it on your face for others to see. Just smile. If others ask what we are talking about, just talk about Taihuang." The Empress Dowager likes to eat the fruit made by my sister-in-law, I will ask you to find her to make it and bring it to you.” Afterwards, she told about Rong Ruo, and Ming Zhu was so angry that she dared not show the slightest bit on her face.

When parting, Huigui said kindly: "It's easy to kill that girl, just break the relationship, but you know best about your son, he is an infatuated kind, it's rare that the emperor values ​​him now, if it's for a woman to make him sick, the loss outweighs the gain Take it easy, I haven't moved here for two days, maybe it's just passed away, but don't force him to make trouble again, just pay attention to yourself."

Mingzhu promised one by one, and waited for Mrs. Hui to go to the inner palace, and then reluctantly left the palace with a smile on her face. After returning to the mansion, she saw a doctor at home and asked who was sick. No one knew, Mingzhu became angry for a while, and angrily scolded the servant: "When he comes back, take it to the ancestral hall for questioning."

Everyone knows that the master is very strict in disciplining his children, and no one dares to disobey him. He hoped to bring the eldest son back in front of the door. Hearing that his wife was sick, and his father wanted him to meet him at the ancestral hall, after careful consideration, he came to his father first. When he entered the door, he saw his father standing in front of the ancestral tablet with his hands behind his back. His heart sank and he bowed his knees to salute.

Mingzhu turned to see him, and asked coldly, "Have you gone to see your wife?"

Rong Ruo said honestly: "Because Ama heard about it, my son didn't dare to delay, and he hasn't gone back to the bedroom to meet him yet."

"Now you are very obedient." Mingzhu was furious, and she kicked her son on the shoulder. Mrs. Mingzhu came over to see her, and she rushed over to her son with distress and said, "Master, just talk about it, why do you want to talk about it?" Do it, this child got into trouble outside? The old grandmother was waiting to see her grandson, so I came to look for it. Is it possible that the master wants to give him a good beating before sending him away?"

"You're used to it. Did you ask for the maid from Huigui's place?" Mingzhu was furious, "Even if it's a court lady, how dare you make plans for the people around the emperor. You won't even have time to cry when you get into trouble and lose your head."

"You went to find him?" Mrs. Mingzhu frowned, pulled her son and asked, "Why can't you help it? Didn't Er Niang say that I should do this?"

"You still say things like this even now, what a loving mother! " Mingzhu got angry, and sat aside and sighed repeatedly, "Now that the emperor is getting more and more wings, it is inevitable to find young courtiers to cultivate a new court power. It is rare for you, a wicked son! He was favored, but he was willing to degenerate, and only focused on women, you, a mother-in-law, don't talk about discipline, why would you help him ask the emperor for a woman?"

Mrs. Mingzhu came from a noble family. Although she was always prudent and dignified in front of her, she always had a temperament in her bones. When she heard her husband scolding her and her son like this, she couldn't help sneering: "Is the master interested in the future of this scoundrel? The emperor thought highly of him a few days ago. In your heart Are you still not willing to come? I am afraid that this child will be really promising in the future, and you will be inferior to your Ama. I pamper him here and let him get into the crowd of women. Isn't it for the master's future? "

"You..." Mingzhu was so angry that she had nothing to say.

"My lord, just stay in the court and be in full swing. Our wives won't hold you back. Even if you really want to beat him up today, it won't be too late until he goes to ask the old grandmother to ask for peace. Otherwise, the family It's going to make a fuss again, I don't think it's ugly enough." Mrs. Mingzhu said angrily, pulled her son up, and cursed, "Why don't you get rid of the worthless things?"

Rong Ruo was full of confusion, he had no time to be afraid, what he was not sure was how his father knew, was it leaked by Wu Changzai, or Hui Guiren noticed it?He greeted the grandmother with a gloomy expression. The old man saw that he was not in good spirits, and also heard that the son was angry and wanted to embarrass the grandson for some reason, so he reprimanded him and told him to go back to the room and not come out again.

In the bedroom, his wife, Lu Shi, is ill. Her health has not improved over the years, and she is getting thinner and thinner day by day. Just now, I heard that the master is going to trouble Rong Ruo again. She coughed and wheezed for a while and almost died. Seeing that her husband came back in good health, Huizi smiled gently: "The attendant must be exhausted. You can go to your sister's house to rest. I can't take care of you here even if I'm sick."

"Why is it so sick again? Didn't I see you when I left home?" Rong Ruo squeezed his wife's skinny hand, "Ama is annoyed that I'm not by your side, and if you drive me away again, he will be even angrier and make me feel sick." Stay."

Lu smiled wryly, and seemed to think of something again, and asked him: "Is there any clue about the cousin?"

Rong Ruo shook his head, only sighed.

Two days later, on the day when the little elder brother washed three times, Mrs. Ming Zhu came into the palace to join in the fun, served the Compassion Ning Palace, then went back to talk with Huigui, and didn't dare to say anything outside, until she was in the palace pavilion, she put The child called to him to have a look, and then only the two of them were in private, Huigui said: "I only speak from my heart in front of my sister-in-law, I really don't feel at ease about this matter."

"Your Majesty, what do you think should be done?" Mrs. Mingzhu's family, the mistress, kept the house well-kept. Mingzhu also had a concubine in the concubine. Those things between women could not be difficult for her.

Huigui sighed and said: "Either we can talk to Wu Changzai, or... let her fall into our hands. She is the only one who hears it. As long as her mouth is sealed tightly, it will be fine. .”

Mrs. Mingzhu lowered her head and thought for a long time before she got close to Mr. Huigui and said softly: "What do you think?"
