Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

But seeing Concubine Wen coming up with a smile, she said to Xuan Ye tenderly: "I have always been close to my concubine and sister Duan, it's only because the emperor moved my sister Duan to Zhongcui Palace to be with my concubine's Xianfu Palace." It is separated from the west, so every time I come to sit, I am reluctant to leave."

Lan Qi stood on the side, and Concubine Wen gradually separated her from the emperor, inserted in the middle abruptly, and joked with the emperor naturally, she was not at all the noble and arrogant appearance of her sister in the past, maybe because of her young age, she decided The emperor doesn't care about her, so he has nothing to fear.

And Lan Qi is just a noble person, how dare she compete with a concubine for position in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty has to go back to the Qianqing Palace right now. Can my concubine walk with you for a while?" Concubine Wen smiled brightly and invited the emperor to go with her. The Zhongcui Palace was right in front of her. She was sure that Xuanye would not When she went in, she didn't say that the emperor would send her off, but only said that she wanted to go together. If she refused, it would be too heartless.

When everyone heard these words, they thought that the virtuous person would be more modest, and she took the initiative to say to leave. Presumably, this is also her low-key and gentle temperament in the past. Now the emperor is embarrassed. She, who always thinks about the emperor, will definitely give The emperor went down the steps, but everyone found that the noble man stood beside him, neither speaking nor moving, with a calm expression and no apparent intention.

Xuan Ye looked at the two of them, Lan Qi was calm and indifferent, Concubine Wen was gentle and obedient, she coughed dryly before opening her mouth, Concubine Wen actually said first: "My lord, I just came out of Zhongcui Palace, the gate of the palace may not be closed yet Well, go back quickly, it's getting late, it's not good to go to bed late with the baby in place."

The emperor frowned slightly, and finally opened his mouth, telling Lan Qi: "Go back, I'm leaving now."

Lan Qi looked at him, her eyes were facing each other, and she didn't know if she could perceive each other's emotions, so she hurriedly withdrew her eyes, said goodbye to the emperor and Concubine Wen with a blessing.

"There are still a few steps to go. The virtuous man is precious with his dragon heir. Dongyun, you carry the lantern and illuminate the road brightly, and send the virtuous man back." Concubine Wen gave such instructions, turned around and smiled at Xuan Ye. , "Your Majesty, my concubine will accompany you for a few steps."

Lan Qi didn't seem to care about Dong Yun or the lantern, and she had already led her away. Xuan Ye glanced at it a few times, but didn't take a closer look. Concubine Wen said this to him, and she agreed, and the two walked back slowly .

But I don't know if Xuan Ye did it on purpose. He didn't walk the way he and Lan Qi came, but took a detour and kept walking. He and Ziyu were muttering, saying that the little eunuch next to Concubine Duan came back to report that the emperor was staying at Xianfu Palace tonight.

Huanchun heard it too, and wanted to go out and remind them to stop muttering these things, but Lan Qi stopped her and said, "Go ahead and talk, it seems that I don't care, I'm not that stingy, there are so many concubines in the palace, can I care about it?" ?” But after opening the chatter box, she sat on the couch and chatted for a long time, and finally Huan Chun knelt on the side of the couch and laughed at her, “Master, don’t you care about this?”

Lan Qi glanced at her, her eyes were red, maybe pregnant women are prone to worry, people who used to look down on these things generously, Xuan Ye was intercepted by the way tonight, she really couldn't put it down, she pouted He said softly: "If it were Concubine Tong, would she still dare to snatch it?"

Huan Chun also sighed: "I can't see that Concubine Wen is such a person. There are many empresses and masters in the palace who invite pets, and each has their own way, but to rob people in person, even Concubine Tong has never seen it before. , It’s true that there are mountains as high as mountains, and people should not be judged by their appearance.”

"She told me that day that she would remember my kindness to the queen and would not harm me." Lan Qi frowned, "She also said that the daughters of Niu Hulu's family are not worthy of a good life. I felt compassion, and now I'm holding my breath, feeling sour and overturned the jar of jealousy, I feel that she doesn't care about anything."

"Master has finally started to be stingy." Huan Chun didn't know whether he wanted to make Lan Qi happy, or if he really took it lightly, and said with a smile, "I always feel that your Buddha-like temper is not easy to say, but to be bullied. Now, seeing that you are also turning jealous, just now you left the emperor and Concubine Wen with the momentum to leave, I feel that this is a more flesh-and-blood person."

After venting her unhappiness, Lan Qi felt much more relieved. She wasn't in much pain at first, it's just that a woman trapped in love is stingy. Huan Chun kept smiling, and she felt comfortable looking at her. Looking at her: "Why am I bloodless and fleshless? I am a good person in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, but to you, I am as bad as a hag, and I like to torment you."

Huan Chun laughed loudly, and the dorm room was swept away from sorrow, and then almond milk was boiled, Lan Qi fell in love with it the other day after drinking it in the concubine's room, she had to drink some every night to feel safe, now she can just drink it slowly, rest After taking a breath, he said: "Actually, I still believe what she said that day. Girls in big families really can't help themselves. You said that even Concubine Tong would not dare to rob someone halfway like this, but why would she rob? Why did you rob me? Probably because I can be robbed here, but robbing me is several times more powerful than others, and the people in the palace will really look at her differently."

Huanchun remained silent, seeing that the master's heart was clear, she felt relieved, no wonder the mother often told them not to disturb the master's mind with nonsense, she would understand the matter herself.

But what happened this night has opened up a new atmosphere in the palace. I don't know if it is because Concubine Wen's invitation to favor and seduce everyone is ready to move. Originally, all the palaces kept the clothes for Empress Niu Hulu and kept a low profile, thinking that the emperor was not happy these days. She would be too close to women, but Concubine Wen actually snatched the emperor away from the most favored nobleman halfway, and she was also the younger sister of Empress Niu Hulu.

Counting the days, the nobleman has not been to bed since the Lantern Festival, and the emperor has not turned over his card for a long time. The dragon couch in the Qianqing Palace has been empty for so long. Sure enough, he should cherish the period when the nobleman was pregnant. Lively, the sadness of the death of the empress Daxing in the imperial city is getting weaker and weaker as the weather gets warmer, the nobles above have not made much movement, and the little promises and Changzai below are trying to change their ways to be with the emperor. Show your face.

In the days after that, Xuanye turned over the cards much more diligently than before. Every now and then, there would be a concubine to attend the bed, but no matter whether it was his own idea to invite the favor, or the emperor thought of summoning him, there was no one who was dedicated to the favor, nor was everyone attending the bed The city will record the files, the emperor controls the affairs at night, and does not neglect anyone. It seems that the bustle and bustle are evenly distributed, but there are still very few people who really get the rain and dew.

In the blink of an eye, it’s midsummer in June, and the weather is so hot that everyone moves lazily. It seems that because of watching Wu Sangui’s movements, the emperor did not invite the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager to the palace this year. After the hottest days, everyone is bored Suffocated in the house.

Concubine Hui's birthday is on this day, and since Empress Niu Hulu is not yet her anniversary, she just invites a few acquainted sisters to drink tea in the palace pavilion, and the palaces send rewards or congratulatory gifts in a low-key manner. Concubine Hui is thanking Entong at this moment. For the reward from the noble concubine, Qing Lian was stuffed with some broken silver, and she came back to sit down when she came. The concubine Rong beside her opened the reward and looked at it. Inside was a pair of jade bracelets, and she couldn't help but tut: "The imperial concubine is generous."

An Gui, who was seated under the seat, laughed: "When you wanted to take the elder brother away, you were not polite."

Concubine Hui scolded her: "With your mouth, you have to suffer a lot to survive? The situation in the palace is no longer what it used to be, you have to take good care of yourself."

Mrs. An was resentful. Thinking about it, she was really not doing very well. The emperor didn't see her very much, and she had nothing to do. Her family background was just like this. At the beginning, several nobles were promoted to concubines, and even Bu promised at that time. They are all on an equal footing with him, and he has a daughter under his knees, as for himself, he is probably going to die of old age in this noble position.

Thinking about it makes me feel indignant, but Concubine Tong is indeed someone who can’t just mutter behind her back, but it’s still possible to blame those little promises Chang Zai, and continued unconvinced: "Didn’t the Ministry of Internal Affairs come to complain to the two sisters? Is the makeup in the uterus consumed more than in previous years? Those little fairies are so tossed, they wander around the palace all day in all their glory, and they are not afraid of being exposed to the sun in hot weather, just looking forward to meeting the emperor, one or two have learned so much Hu Mei, but what's the use of Hu Mei, if she has the ability to snatch people on the way like Concubine Wen."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Xin came to report to Concubine Rong, saying that the maid who was always by her side had come to ask Concubine Rong to send an imperial physician. Concubine Rong agreed and asked if she had heatstroke, but the little maid who came didn't understand.

Afterwards the imperial physician went, and more than half an hour later, the imperial physician actually came back in person and told Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui that Nala Changzai was pregnant, and the noble An's face turned green with anger, while Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui complained. The person who called to the Ministry of Internal Affairs counted the days, and it was indeed a night in the beginning of May, but Nala's luck was so good, and she was pregnant again sporadically throughout the year.

The emperor's heir is precious, both Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui dare not be careless, Concubine Hui changed clothes and dismissed all the sisters, Concubine Rong went to the Palace of Compassion to Complaint, Concubine Hui came to Nala's residence, Xiao Chang was in Zhengwo On the couch, the imperial physician also said just now that she had signs of heat stroke and told her to stay in bed.

"You are very lucky, and you will take good care of this baby." Concubine Hui said some decent and polite words, which made Nala happy. Soon after, Concubine Rong came from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, bringing a reward from the Empress Dowager, While the two of them were talking, Concubine Hui signaled Jue Chan next to her to agree to go out. The two stood in the cool air, and the wind blew through the hairpins on their buns. It's very lively, and I don't see you coming out for a walk."

Jue Chan promised not to be a court lady anymore, her body is more plump than before, her eyebrows have grown wider, she is taller, she can do needlework again, her clothes are unique and elegant, she is standing quietly now, she has not seen her for a few days , Concubine Hui was a little surprised, she was indeed a natural beauty.

"The concubine is afraid of the heat." Jue Chan replied with a smile, "And the Queen Mother's new autumn clothes are already being prepared, and the concubine is slowly making them."

"You bother, it's a pity that the queen is gone, even if the queen mother is happy, the higher-ups may not think of you." Concubine Hui sighed softly, "Nala Chang gave birth to an elder brother, someone will always mention it, and her luck is also good. "

"Yes."

"However, these days, messy people are showing up outside. The emperor may not really like it, and he is not in a hurry for a moment. You stay here and stay with Nala, and help her have a safe pregnancy." Hui Concubine advised, "You know the nobleman, right? She came from a court lady just like you. The empress dowager still talks about taking care of the nobleman back then. The empress dowager likes such people. Nala often raises them again. The empress dowager You have to pay attention there, and you will gradually be able to know you."

Concubine Hui thought of her so carefully, but Jue Chan's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, obviously a pair of beautiful eyes, lifeless at the moment, obviously didn't care about these words at all.

"Sister, it's time to go." Over there, Concubine Rong came out from the dormitory where Nala usually stayed, saw the two talking here, and called out, and after they left together, Concubine Rong asked her, "You and that What did the child say, if your family is too busy to enter the palace, it would be a good thing."

Concubine Hui glanced around at the unrelated people, and said softly to Concubine Rong: "Sister, we should find a young one to support the emperor, not for ourselves, but for the future of our sons?"

When he said this, the holy car in front happened to pass by. Because they were far away, the two of them didn't have to follow up. They only heard a few court ladies behind them muttering: "When I came, I saw Zhang promised to wait at the intersection. Is it still there?"

Hearing this sentence, Concubine Rong thought about what Concubine Hui said just now, and she couldn't help smiling: "Are we unable to bear it?"

I don't know if there is anyone waiting on that road. The emperor's party was going to the Palace of Compassion, and because he heard that Nala Chang was there and pregnant again, he went to the emperor's grandmother to greet him a few times. Congratulations by the way, the empress dowager naturally I am glad that the emperor has many heirs, but now that he has a favorite person in his heart, it is inevitable that he still has a bit of selfishness. The old man is also aware of the current situation in the palace, and he is saying to Xuan Ye at this moment: "It's good for you to be restrained, the emperor Grandma shouldn't have bothered you about these things long ago, but the palace is so lively now, you still think about other people, Lan Qi is working so hard to conceive a child, I heard from Su Mala that she was stopped by Concubine Wen on the way that day , you haven’t seen him again, why, do you dislike pregnant women for being fat and ugly?”

Xuan Ye shook his head and smiled helplessly: "The imperial grandmother also came to make fun of her grandson?" When mentioning Lan Qi, the emperor said angrily, "I sent someone there before and sent some books she likes, imperial grandmother, she is now I became so angry that I directly asked someone to return the book to me, saying that I will not need it from now on, so I don't have to worry about it."

"Then you're really angry and let it go?" The empress dowager was still helping Lan Qi, Xuan Ye also smiled, as if there was nothing unhappy at all, and coaxed grandma to say, "You don't have to worry, Lan Qi My grandson knows what's on my mind, and she also understands what my grandson thinks."

"That's all you think." The old man sneered and persuaded Xuan Ye, "Take time to look at her, it's easy to think wildly when you are pregnant with a child, and you may not be able to understand things like before."
