Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

In contrast, Concubine Wen, who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, was talking and laughing calmly and generously. She thought that she had a child in her womb, so no one else could hinder her. Today, because of her proficiency in foreign languages, she was in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Recently, she often rests in Chengqian Palace, and Concubine Tong is destined to be gloomy at this banquet.

In the past, because the emperor intended to make Niu Hulu the queen, in those days before the establishment of the queen, Concubine Zhao would sit with the holy car whenever there was a big banquet, just like the empress, but today Concubine Tong only sits at the head of all the concubines. It's not as good as Concubine Wen sitting next to the queen mother, sitting close to Xuan Ye. The emperor's meaning is very clear, and he has no intention of becoming a queen.

The emperor is determined, and no one can change it. The queen is the same as the unique imperial concubine. She Tong Guifei is already one step away from the imperial concubine, but Concubine Wen is pregnant first, and she is about to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. The future is at a loss, and I don't know how to break out of the fog. Is it hatred, resentment, or unwillingness to drink this glass of wine?No one knows what she's thinking.

"I always feel very pitiful." Lan Qi murmured to herself, lowering her head to pick up vegetables to eat, when Bu Guiren heard her and asked her softly, "Who are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything?"

But Bu Guiren said: "Guess if Guo Guiren is happy, and whether Mrs. Yipin will be unhappy. My sister has only been here for a long time, so she is ahead of her."

Lan Qi raised her head and glanced at Yipin. She was happily talking to Mr. An, who was going to attack her, without any displeasure or nervousness. It made people think that if Mr. Guo was really happy, she might have known about it a long time ago, and she didn't report it because of many things. That's all.

Half an hour later, the Western dancers had finished dancing, and the Empress Dowager was about to give a reward, and someone from Yikun Palace came to report, Yipin smiled brightly, got up and went to the front seat, saluted and said: "My concubine congratulates the emperor, Guo The nobleman is happy."

Xuan Ye had a happy face, and also congratulated the Empress Dowager, Concubine Wen generously explained to the envoy's wife, the envoy's wife said something, and Concubine Wen's eyes rolled, and she told the empress dowager and the emperor, "The envoy's wife said that among the tribute items this time, there is a pair of bracelets inlaid with pearls, which are used to pray for a safe birth in their country."

The Empress Dowager found it fresh, and asked people to look for it. Opening the box, she found a pair of bangles, white gold as the base, with evenly sized pearls inlaid on the surface of the bangles. It means many children, and the envoy's wife said that in their place, the elders will bestow it on the younger generation who are pregnant."

"There are only one pair of bracelets. There are three of us who are pregnant here." Concubine Tong suddenly said coldly, her eyes slowly rose and fell on the noble man, and everyone followed, but saw the noble man's hand She was holding a chopstick of matsutake shredded chicken, and seeing everyone looking at her, she put it down in embarrassment. She didn't seem to have heard what the first few people were talking about, and she didn't understand why everyone was looking at her.

Seeing her like this, Xuan Ye had a smile in his eyes, if everyone was like her, how peaceful the world would be.

And the superior didn't say who the bracelet was going to be given to. Concubine Tong insisted on mentioning something, which made everyone embarrassed, but she gloated and said, "The gods they believe in are different from my generation. The so-called safe birth prayers may not be useful even in the Qing Dynasty.”

Xuan Ye didn't take it seriously, and said to his grandmother with a smile: "There is another happy event that I haven't told the imperial grandmother. You didn't see that the imperial brother's Fujin didn't come to the banquet today? It's because of the good news that he is taking care of in the mansion. I still want to send it to you." What kind of congratulatory gift is good, just this pair of auspicious bracelets, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." As he spoke, he looked towards Fuquan who was sitting in the distance, Prince Yu got up when he heard this, smiled and said to his grandmother, "Grandmother will give it to my grandson. Well, grandson thank you for your grandson and daughter-in-law."

"There are no women in the palace. You are the thickest-skinned." The Empress Dowager was delighted when she saw her two grandsons coming down the steps for her. His Fujin told him to have a safe pregnancy, and sent Aunt Su Ma and Concubine Yi back to Yikun Palace to visit Guo Guiren.

The drums played again, and the embarrassment just now was swept away in the hall. Concubine Tong Gui sat there alone, and no one looked at her. The humiliation and resentment were afraid that it would cause even bigger waves. foot.

After a banquet, the guests and hosts had a great time, and Lan Qi was excited by the exotic atmosphere. On the way back to the palace with Concubine Duan and Lady Bu, they chattered non-stop. Beside her, he was holding her with a smile: "Go slowly, you don't care about your stomach, so speak softly in the middle of the night."

But Lan Qi chatted with them heartlessly: "It's a good thing that Prince Yu, Fujin, didn't come today, look at the look in the eyes of the prince, the eyeballs of those dancers are about to fall out, if Fujin sees it, he won't be mad , I guess, Prince Yu's Mansion will have another Western concubine."

Bu Guiren scolded her: "Nonsense, even the prince dares to arrange it, be careful that the emperor will annoy you."

Just as he was laughing, he suddenly saw a group of people parked in front of him, a sedan chair parked by the side of the road, the little eunuch here ran up to look, and quickly came back and said, "It's Concubine Wen at the front."

"Didn't your empress go back first?" The three of them were amazed, and they took a few steps forward to salute. Concubine Wen sat in the sedan chair and said softly, "Concubine Duan and Mrs. Bugui go first. I have something to say to Mr. Degui. The palace will send someone to take her back."

Concubine Duan frowned, leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty and Mrs. Virtue are pregnant, please rest early. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow. Right now, it's even more serious..."

"Concubine Duan, go back." Concubine Wen interrupted her, her lukewarm tone clearly revealing a bit of majesty.

Concubine Duan and Lan Qi glanced at each other, and Lan Qi nodded, Concubine Duan could only leave first with Mrs. Bu. As soon as they walked away, Concubine Wen got off the sedan chair and smiled at Lan Qi: "Let's go?"

"Yes." Lan Qi felt embarrassed, because she had been using the excuse of being uncomfortable all the time, and did not go to the agreement that Concubine Wen invited her to sit in the palace, but tonight she attended the banquet in high spirits. What does the concubine want to say at this moment, she thinks that if she can avoid it, she must never be involved.

Walking forward slowly, the maids and eunuchs around are separated by a distance of ten steps that cannot be heard. Huanchun Luzhu and the others dare not follow closely after seeing this. With two pregnant women walking in front, Lan Qi has long since stopped. Wearing flowerpot bottoms, but Concubine Wen still wore them, but she was not as tall as Lan Qi in them. At this moment, when the night wind passed, the scarf with beautiful flowers fluttered. Concubine Wen asked her with a smile: "Is the nobleman cold?"

Lan Qi shook her head and said, "The concubine is dressed very warmly."

Concubine Wen was full of envy and asked her: "I heard that pregnant women tend to get hot and dry, but you look thinner than us."

Lan Qi smiled: "Your Majesty will be like this in a few months, maybe it will be better in winter."

"No, I won't be hot anymore." Concubine Wen stopped, her eyes were clearly smiling, but people could see the endless melancholy inside, her red lips moved slightly, "My lord, the baby in my womb is gone. "

Lan Qi's whole body tensed up, her stomach also tightened up, she took a few steps back uncomfortably while supporting her stomach.What's going on, there is no wind in the palace, is it because she has stayed behind closed doors for too long?No wonder I heard that Concubine Wen was very sick a few days ago, but she didn't feel any discomfort at the banquet. She looked at Concubine Wen in disbelief: "Your Majesty... Seriously?"

"I asked Dongyun to invite you to come that day, and I wanted to tell you about it. It was gone before the Double Ninth Festival. I used the excuse of embarrassment, but I just kept my body in the house." Concubine Wen's small body revealed With an aura that didn't match her, she supported Lan Qi and continued to move forward, "Except for Dong Yun and my trusted imperial physician, only you, the virtuous, know about this matter."

Every word in this sentence reveals an uneasy atmosphere, Lan Qi moved away slowly, her heart beating heavily, and as expected, Concubine Wen said: "Your nobleman, help me once and help yourself once, how about it?"

"My concubine doesn't understand what your mother said." Lan Qi wanted to hide, she wished she could leave this unfathomable little Niu Hulu family immediately.

"It's very simple. Concubine Tong Gui wants your child wholeheartedly. Do you think she will let it go? It's better to have a good time." Concubine Wen said to her with crooked eyebrows, "If you ruin her future, I will benefit. You keep your own child." My sister once said that when you helped Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, they were just using you at that time, and now you benefit from it, isn't it great?"

Lan Qi is taller, and when she looks at Niu Hulu's face from top to bottom, her chin becomes more and more slender. Her supposedly pure and beautiful appearance reveals a ferocious air for no reason. The red-faced concubine, the concubine Wen's look at this moment, made her feel extremely disgusted.

Why do you always come to pester yourself?

"I'll give you two days to think about it. Concubine Tong Guifei is about to have her birthday, so don't miss this opportunity." Concubine Wen said to Lan Qi with a leisurely smile. Trembling, he shook his head and said, "The concubine can't do this."

Concubine Wen smiled: "But I told you all, noble man, do you think you can still get away with it? Think about it carefully." She smiled proudly, this is an expression she never showed in front of others, Lan Qi can hardly remember that at the time. What does little Concubine Wen look like who is weeping every day in Kunning Palace, and what happened to her that made her undergo such a radical change?

Concubine Wen turned around and stopped moving forward, and walked towards her servants. Dongyun quickly let the sedan chair go forward, and when Concubine Wen and her party walked away, Huanchun and the others dared to come to the master's side. She was trembling, anxiously asking what was wrong, Lan Qi just said softly: "Take me back."

This night, the fetus in the womb has been restless, which made Lan Qi unable to sit or lie down. The imperial doctor came to no avail. Lan Qi refused to let the imperial hospital report, indicating that it would be better soon. The stalemate lasted all night. Sure enough, she gave birth to a lot in the morning and was tired. The little nobleman also fell into a drowsy sleep, and woke up at noon, thinking of Concubine Wen's words last night, and her mind was heavy. Fortunately, the child was much more peaceful and did not bother her anymore.

Concubine Wen sent something in the afternoon, she said it was given to her by the wife of the envoy from the West, and she distributed it to the palaces, as well as nobles and concubines. When Huan Chun brought them to Lan Qi, she lost her temper in disgust : "Take it away, I don't want to see it."

On the contrary, Huan Chun was taken aback, she regained her composure and said sadly and aggrievedly: "It's not for you, don't be angry."
