Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Huan Chun hurriedly put away the things, told Lu Zhu and others not to let anyone come in to disturb the master's rest, closed the door and covered the window, and then asked the master what happened. Although Lan Qi has no one to discuss with now, she was afraid to tell Huan Chun Afterwards, she will let the Compassionate Ning Palace know about it, and it's not that she can't trust Huanchun, but she knows that she loves herself the most. In order to protect herself from being implicated, she will definitely seek help from Aunt Su Mala. However, this matter has not happened yet. Lan Qi always hoped that little Niu Hulu would change his mind.

"Did Concubine Wen say something that made you uncomfortable?" Huanchun didn't give up, hoping that the master would not keep his unhappiness in his heart, but Lan Qi pulled her to beg, "I can understand it when I think about it, really. If I don't understand, I will go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to answer, I can't let my superiors worry about everything."

Huan Chun only said: "You are about to give birth, and this servant thinks that the big thing is not as important as this one. You should think about it for yourself. Whether other people's things are good or bad has nothing to do with you. What do you want to do?"

Lan Qi nodded and comforted Huanchun, "I'll figure it out, you promise me, don't go before I let you go to the nanny, one thing more is worse than one thing less, I think there is always room for change."

While talking, there was the sound of Guqin coming from Chengqian Palace ahead, Lan Qi listened attentively, and Huanchun sighed: "I heard that the imperial concubine got very drunk last night, you can't sleep well all night, and Qinglian and the others in front of you can't stop , now playing the piano again, but the emperor is not in the harem."

"Since the imperial concubine lived in Chengqian Palace and began to listen to her play the piano, she has become better and better than before. I always said that I wanted to learn it, but I never picked it up." Lan Qi smiled, "But I can't learn it, call her Heard, it must be said that I favored her and competed with her."

While speaking, the fetus in her womb moved, Lan Qi couldn't help but groaned, and smiled at her belly: "Emiang is feeling upset, how about you give birth these few days?"

Sure enough, the little guy didn't move much, but Huanchun held his stomach and smiled and said: "Little elder brother, don't listen to the master, you should move around every day, let the servant know how you are, so the servant can rest assured."

"You know it's the little brother? I only like spicy food these days. My sister said I'm sour and spicy. I look forward to giving birth to a little princess, so that I can avoid a lot of trouble." Lan Qi gently touched her stomach, He also sighed, "When he was born, he was going to be carried to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I couldn't see him again until I was confinement. Before, I was looking forward to his birth every day. Now that the day is in front of me, I can't bear to part with it."

"I can go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to see you every day after confinement. Who in the palace has such a blessing as you? How many years have Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui survived?" Huan Chun comforted her, "Master is content with everything, but this matter is not the case. This thought."

On the other hand, Lan Qi said with the pride of someone who has been here before, "It will be different to be a mother-in-law. In the future, when you leave the palace and marry someone, you will understand when you become a mother-in-law." She snapped her fingers and calculated, Asked when Huanchun would leave the palace, Huanchun said that she was not in a hurry and was doing well in the palace, and told Lan Qi not to worry about it.

After two days of being idle, the emperor issued a decree on this day to celebrate Concubine Tong Guifei's birthday, and to hold a banquet and sing opera in Chengqian Palace. Only the concubines and family members of the palace were invited. Don't participate in the banquet, so that the young people can relax and have fun for a while.

Concubine Duanbu, of course, wants to honor her, but Lan Qi is going to give birth in October, and no one dares to force her to attend the banquet. Surprisingly, she volunteered to attend the banquet, and everyone only thought that she was interested in fun. Who would have thought it was because What Concubine Wen said that night, and the imperial physician also said that the virtuous man is in good health, and going out for a walk will help give birth, so there is no one to reason about, just wait for the concubine's birthday to come.

Lan Qi originally thought that Concubine Wen would come to her again, but she never saw Concubine Wen again until Concubine Tong's birthday. She said she would only be given two days to think about it, but looking at it now, she seemed to have given up, but She was always uneasy in her heart, so she wanted to come to the banquet with her stomach full.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui personally organized the birthday banquet for the noble concubine. I thought that Empress Niu Hulu's funeral was less than a year old, and there would be no such things in the palace. As much as Empress Hesheli passed away, all necessary mourning was done in the spring. The impression left by people in the past six months is that there is no intention to make a successor, and the other is that there is no need to go too far Sad, I have to serve the empress dowager and the empress dowager, the empress's funeral is over.

Concubine Tong did not expect that she would be named by the emperor to celebrate her birthday, and she never mentioned it in the soft words of her bedtime companions, but she was surprised that the imperial edict was issued suddenly on that day, and then Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui came to ask for their orders.Fearing that he would be considered extravagant, before agreeing to Concubine Rong Hui, he first went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to thank her for the invitation, but the Empress Dowager was kind and pleasant, not only did she not blame her for being extravagant in celebrating her birthday, but also rewarded her, it was no different than meeting her in the past It is to reprimand and teach, so that Concubine Tong is flattered.

And she was afraid that Concubine Hui would have old grievances with her and would shirk the matter of her birthday, but she and Concubine Rong did their best to do everything well, and on that day they personally delivered the new auspicious blessings to be worn on the birthday, and Concubine Hui left At that time, Concubine Tong frowned while touching the new clothes and said, "She must hate me for leaving Eldest Brother. I really don't know if every stitch in this clothes is filled with curses."

However, Qinglian persuaded: "Miss Hui, I am afraid that she did not do her best for you. You have also seen that after that incident, the emperor has treated the two empresses much less. Mistress Rong used to be the most doting, and now I see you again in a month." Less than a few times before the emperor, there are even fewer concubines, and since they have an elder brother under their knees, the future of the elder brothers is very important. I heard that the elder brother will be a teacher in the spring of next year. Whether the emperor will choose a good master or not In one thought, this kind of thing that can show your face in front of the emperor must be rushed to do it."

Concubine Tong heard clearly, the relationship between her and Qinglian is very delicate, Qinglian is very loyal to her and takes good care of her, but on the other hand, she listens to the words of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Concubine Tong also knows that she has two masters on her head, Tong Guowei persuades her After her, without Qinglian, there will be purple lotus and red lotus. Everyone is the same. Now that Qinglian treats her well, it is better to get along well. Anyway, since Compassionate Ninggong is eyeing her, it is difficult to get rid of her. , so the master and servant have a tacit understanding and peace with each other.

Qinglian also reminded the imperial concubine that October is also the birthday of Nala's little elder brother Wan Min (pronounced Tongfu), if she takes more care of her on that day, not to mention adopting this little elder brother, at least the emperor knows that Tong The imperial concubine has love for the princes, and even remembers the birthday of her elder brother who is always alive. No matter what happens in the future, she will always leave a good impression in the emperor's heart.

Although Concubine Tong disdains a lowly Chang Zaisheng son, she remembered that Empress Niu Hulu had told her that elder brother's mother-in-law was the emperor's son no matter how lowly she was, so she complied with Qinglian's words. On this day's birthday, when everyone gathered to play and joke around, she said that it was also Wan Min's birthday and asked the little elder brother to sit with her.

Xuanye only came in the middle of the journey, and saw that she was very affectionate with Wan Min, and when asked why, he realized that this little elder brother had grown up to three years old in obscurity, and even his youngest daughter Duan Jing followed Concubine Duan. Alone in elder brother's house, Xuan Ye felt a little bit guilty as a father, and he couldn't help but admire Concubine Tong Gui for her heart. The concubine was grateful for Qinglian's reminder, and she was very happy with her bright face.

For the other children, the eldest elder brother has already started to understand at the age of six or seven. Xuan Ye said a few days ago that he will be sent to the study in the coming year. I seldom pay attention to the children. Today, at first glance, they are all alive and kicking. I remembered that when Concubine Rong gave birth to his first child, she was only a teenager, and she didn’t feel like a father at all. Now, watching the children grow up , Only then gradually became the pride of his father, seeing the eldest brother being naughty, he scolded a few words, Tong Guifei said fondly that today is her birthday, and let the children let go of their play.

Lan Qi was sitting at the table with Mrs. Bu, thinking about what Concubine Wen said that day, unlike when she was entertaining the Western envoys that day, she focused on watching the dancer's performance or tasting delicious food. Today, she is all focused on Concubine Wen, watching her every move, I don't know when she will add a bad name to Concubine Tong Gui.

At first she was very nervous when Xuan Ye was still in the future, but now that she saw him coming, although she had never seen her when she was talking and laughing with Concubine Tong, she felt more at ease in her heart, hoping that Xuan Ye would always be by Concubine Tong's side, Don't let Concubine Wen take advantage of it, she will definitely not be able to hide it in a few months after she has lost her baby, if she escapes today, Concubine Wen will have to make it public sooner or later.

I once thought in my heart, should I just report that Concubine Wen has no child, so as to save her from pouring dirty water on others, and she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, but Lan Qi just heard Concubine Wen say this, how could she be If you don't take precautions for yourself, if the baby in Concubine Wen's stomach is still alive, and she goes to talk nonsense, what will the empress dowager and the emperor think of her?

Although Concubine Wen once said that she would not harm herself, she was still so weak and insensible, and now she has become impressive. Lan Qi can't trust a single word of promise.

And since she has a harmless heart, she really can't imagine how to calculate to that step to entrap Concubine Tong. At the beginning, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui planned every step of the way. She saw Concubine Tong running into the third elder brother's house alone. Now Concubine Wen What should I do to point the finger at the imperial concubine?She was lost in thought, and remembered that when Concubine Yi had no child, all the concubines in the palace found that there was medicine for tigers and wolves in the purse that Concubine Tong gave as a reward. Concubine Tong argued that it was not her fault, if it was really not her fault, she never Since entering the palace, although he is arrogant, domineering and cruel, he has been plotted and entrapped by people all the time, which is really not easy.

"Duanjing, what are you doing?" Lan Qi was in a trance when she saw Mrs. Bu came to cheer Duanjing, and the little princess was stealthily taking the snacks on her table. The meals for her, Concubine Wen and Mrs. Guo were all given by Concubine Tong to the small kitchen. The other ones are lighter than other people's big fish and meat. The snacks and fruits are carefully made beautiful and delicate. They say that they are afraid that pregnant women will not have a good appetite. Lan Qi was in a daze, so she secretly came to get it, but when Bu Guiren saw it, she stretched out her hand to stop her.

But Lanqi loves Duanjing the most, hugging the little girl in her arms to tickle her, coaxing her to take whatever she wants to eat, she got up this morning and ate a lot of snacks made by Huanchun to support herself, and she hasn't touched anything on the table so far , Duan Jing pointed to a plate of dim sum pressed into the shape of lotus petals with a mold, and Lan Qi took a piece for her, and she asked for more. My brother took it, but he turned around and ran away with a whole plate of dim sum.

Bu Gui asked Pan Xia to go with her, and said to Lan Qi, "You're going to spoil her, didn't you see that the emperor scolded elder brother for being naughty just now, the emperor doesn't like playful children."

"If the emperor doesn't like it, he won't blame him. It's just that he suddenly got angry and got addicted to being Ama. Do you still think he is really blaming elder brother? I think he just said it because he likes it." Lan Qi smiled leisurely, Pointing to Mr. Bu Gui, Duan Jing went over holding snacks, all the brothers and sisters gathered together, Wan Yan also came from Concubine Tong, a few children were sitting by the side eating snacks and having fun, Lan Qi sighed, "Wait Brothers and sisters are all grown up and go to the study, brothers and sisters can no longer play together."

The nobleman also sighed: "I only hope that Duanjing will become a healthy and healthy adult, and I don't care if I am happy or not."

Her words are not pessimistic. So many children have been lost in the palace. It is said that the harem of the past dynasties is too shady. Xinjueluo changed the dynasty and seized the Han people, so there are many royal heirs.Naturally, these words must never be uttered.

Concubine Tong loves lively dramas, and after a martial arts show, the whole Chengqian Palace was buzzing with gongs and drums. Even Bu Guiren had to get close to hear her talking to Lan Qi. Sitting quietly, eating and drinking tea, she gradually let go of her mind. Right now, she was listening to Bu Guiren complaining that the martial arts show was too noisy, when Concubine Wen suddenly slipped the tea bowl in her hand.

The sound of gongs and drums was too loud, and the teacup fell to the ground without even hearing the sound, but as Concubine Wen fell from the chair, there was a commotion on the other side, and the drama on the stage stopped immediately, and before everyone could recover, they heard the children's screams. Crying, everyone followed the sound and looked over, just now the elder brothers and princesses were playing together, now all of them were crying in the nurse's arms, Wan Fu vomited out head first, his small body twitched all over.

Everyone panicked and panicked, Xuan Ye frowned in the seat above, Concubine Tong was even more puzzled, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui saw their children were crying, they were so panicked that they couldn't care about the banquet, Chengqian Palace was in chaos, Those who ran around calling for the imperial doctor, and those who were busy dismissing the crowd, the guards quickly came to escort and protect the emperor.

Xuan Ye and Concubine Tong Gui had no choice but to retreat into the inner palace. Elder brothers and princesses had imperial doctors come to treat them. Concubine Wen was sent back to Xianfu Palace. Guiren Guo and Concubine Lan Qi were also sent back because they were pregnant. In situ.

After Lan Qi was sent back to Zhongcui Palace, an imperial physician soon came to see her. After seeing her, she saw that she had no abnormalities and immediately reported to her. I got pregnant, brother and the princesses also ate something bad, suspected of being poisoned, the nurses said that they were sick because they ate the snacks taken from you by Princess Duanjing together, only the prince has been by the emperor's side all the time, he didn't come over Eating is the only escape.”

Lan Qi's heart almost jumped out of her throat. If she didn't move the food on the table because she was full in the morning, would she have died with the child in her belly now?

Green Pearl and Purple Jade also quickly inquired about the news, saying that Mrs. Guo had eaten half a piece of dim sum, and she felt no discomfort for the time being, but the dim sum on her table was also found to be poisonous. If it wasn't for Shaxi not coming to the banquet, it might have the same result as Concubine Wen.

Ziyu said resentfully: "The imperial concubine is too vicious, no wonder Tete cooks you some other meals, but she is not stupid, who would doubt it was her if she behaved like this."

"She wouldn't be so stupid." Lan Qi was breathing heavily, her heart was restless, her eyes were full of Concubine Wen's face and those words, this woman is so vicious, is she even hurting herself and Guo Guiren? If you go to a banquet, is it the same result?She didn't just want to entrap Concubine Tong, why did she kill everyone, and how did she know that Concubine Tong would give pregnant women extra meals?Lan Qi, who has no intention of harming others, can't figure out how to do all of this, but the current Concubine Tong Gui must not be able to argue.

"Bring me some clothes, I'm going to Chengqian Palace." Lan Qi moved her body lumberingly from the kang, Huanchun and the others asked her what she was going to do, just let her wait for the news here, but at this moment Xiangyue ran in, scaring her With a pale face, he cried and said, "The dead man was dragged out of Chengqian Palace. It was the eunuch cook in the small kitchen of the imperial concubine. He was killed by one head and covered in blood. The servant looked straight at him, and the servant was frightened to death."

Huanchun was furious, beat her out, scolded her for being ignorant to scare the master, Xiangyue was crying outside the house, Lanqi felt sorry for her, and asked Luzhu to coax her, but she insisted on wearing clothes to go out. However, for fear that she would be angry and hurt the child, she carefully sent it to Chengqian Palace. The concubines and family members who were not allowed to leave at the original seat felt strange when they saw the nobleman come back. The nobleman was poisoned because of Duanjing Weeping so weakly, Concubine Duan, Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui are all taking care of the children in the side hall, here only Concubine Yi is in charge, seeing her coming, hurriedly came up to persuade: "Go back, what are you doing here."

Lan Qi said: "The concubine wants to see the emperor."

Concubine Yi shook her head: "The incident happened in Chengqian Palace. The emperor seems to be asking the imperial concubine. You don't look good when you go in. Listen to me and go back. My sister has an accident. I want to leave but I can't. Don't worry about it." Trouble. The empress dowager and the queen mother were all very angry when they heard that, elder brothers and princesses don’t know what to do, so if you have something to do with your child, it’s good.”

"Your Majesty, let this concubine go to see the Emperor..."

Before Lan Qi finished speaking, the gate of the main hall was opened, and Xuan Ye came out. The young emperor was full of anger, and walked straight out. Seeing Lan Qi in front of the door, he became even more angry, and reprimanded: "What are you doing here, go back to the palace immediately You are not allowed to hang around outside anymore, and you are not allowed to leave the gate of Zhongcui Palace before giving birth from now on."

Lan Qi knew that Xuan Ye didn't intend to be so fierce, and the life and death of his children were uncertain at the moment, how could he have such a good face, she didn't dare to say anything, but saw the guards escorting the emperor away, and it was said that he was going to Xianfu Palace to visit Concubine Wen, Although Concubine Wen had a miscarriage, her life was saved. Those poisons did not hurt people's lives. The child vomited and had abdominal pain after eating it, and the pregnant woman ate it is her current result.

The others were allowed to leave, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Yipin hurried back to see her sister. Seeing that Lan Qi was staying here, she didn't bother to bother, and hurried back to her Yikun Palace. Chengqian Palace finally calmed down, Huanchun was about to persuade the master to leave, but she walked towards the main hall, Huanchun followed, Lan Qi stretched out her hand to let her wait outside the door, she approached the inner hall step by step, and she saw Concubine Tong paralyzed Sitting on the ground, Huarong turned pale with tears streaming down her face, her body twitched slightly, she raised her eyes and saw Lan Qi coming in, her frail face showed hatred and contempt, and she smiled ferociously: "What's in your belly is okay? Since it's okay, come here What are you going to accuse me of?"

"Imperial concubine, do you have a trusted imperial physician in this palace?" Lan Qi didn't answer the question, approached her, and said solemnly, "Is there anyone in the imperial hospital who you can trust?"

Concubine Tong sneered, pointed at Lan Qi viciously and said, "You said that I and the imperial physician harmed you, and now the cook who cooks has been killed, so you need to ask the imperial physician to back me up and testify against me? Wuya Lanqi, What kind of excitement are you joining in, don't you accumulate virtue for the child in your belly?"

"Your Majesty, if you have an imperial physician, please ask him to go to Xianfu Palace with us to see if Concubine Wen has had a miscarriage." Lan Qi was not afraid, and reached out her hand to Concubine Tong, "Get up quickly, Sitting here crying, there is no way to clear up my wrongdoing."

"What do you mean?" The imperial concubine's eyes showed some hope. Xuan Ye had already told her about this matter. If no one could prove her innocence, even if the emperor tried his best to protect her, this bad reputation would be hard to get rid of. Xuan Ye hadn't cast doubt on her at this moment, and hearing her heartbroken words just now broke her heart.

"Concubine Wen personally told the concubine that her fetus was gone before the Double Ninth Festival. The imperial physician would have known if it was slipping now. If so, the imperial physicians around her would not be trustworthy right now, even if it wasn't the case. , my concubine can also say a few words for you in front of the emperor. Concubine Wen asked my concubine to join hands with her to put the crime of miscarriage on you. She didn't do it herself."

Lan Qi spoke clearly, and the hope in Concubine Tong's eyes became stronger and stronger. She looked at Lan Qi blankly, and asked in a daze, "Are you helping me?"

"The concubine just doesn't want you to be wronged. There's nothing I can do to help you." Lan Qi was indifferent. Seeing Concubine Tong get up, she asked her to tighten her clothes, turned around and waited in front of the door, after Concubine Tong came out, Qinglian and Huan Chun Du came to help his master, the two went out one after the other, concubine Hui and concubine Rong in the side hall happened to see each other, they looked at each other inexplicably, they didn't know how these two people walked together, and they didn't know where they were going, Rong The concubine immediately asked Ji Xin to follow to see what was going on.

Concubine Tong's doctor Zhang is a person arranged by Tong Guowei in the Imperial Hospital. He has served in Da Nei since Empress Xiaokang. Empress Xiaokang was conceived by him when she was pregnant with Xuanye. Niu Hulu's family has other arrangements, and non-interference with each other can be regarded as safe and sound. The imperial physician Zhang was suspicious of such an incident today. At this moment, Concubine Tong urgently summoned him. Hearing that he was going to see a doctor for Concubine Wen, the imperial physician said Be sure to check it out.

When we arrived at Xianfu Palace, the queen mother was already there, and Xuan Ye was confused when he saw Concubine Tong and Lan Qi bringing the imperial doctor together, and was even more annoyed that Lan Qi was meddling in her own business, but because the little nobleman was afraid of seeing his angry eyes, he simply didn't pay attention Look at the emperor, just standing behind Concubine Tong, listening to her say arrogantly as usual: "Physician Zhang was the one who gave birth to Empress Xiaokang back then, can the emperor still believe it? The concubine only wants to be innocent, and I can't harm anyone at this moment." , and please ask Imperial Physician Zhang to show it to Concubine Wen, what the imperial physician said afterwards, the concubine has her own reasons."

Xuan Ye only listened to a few words of these words, and kept staring at Lan Qi who was standing behind the imperial concubine. She seemed to be having a hard time with her stomach upright, and she was so annoyed that she had to run around and make a fuss about these things. , The imperial concubine did not speak for a while, and the imperial concubine took the opportunity to assume that he was acquiescing, and forced the imperial physician Zhang to treat Concubine Wen.

The Empress Dowager was annoyed by Concubine Tong's viciousness, and said coldly, "What reason can your imperial physician say, what reason do you have, noble concubine, brother and princess, if there is any good or bad, are you going to destroy the emperor's ancestral family? "

Xuan Ye's eyes flickered, the queen mother's words seemed to make him uncomfortable, but he could not refute, and endured it silently, but Concubine Tong never took the queen mother seriously, and at this moment she also confronted her bluntly, saying proudly: "The queen mother wants to blame the concubine, Please wait until the imperial physician comes out." But Xuan Ye told him to shut up, making the atmosphere in the hall very oppressive.

Not long after, Imperial Physician Zhang came out, knelt in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and said respectfully: "I guarantee with the head of the item that Concubine Wen did not have a miscarriage today."

The queen mother was startled, and sneered again: "Old doctor, are you confused? What do you mean no tire slippage? Did you change the mattress without seeing it? Do you want the servants here to take you to see the bloodstains?"

Doctor Zhang said calmly: "I don't know where Concubine Wen's blood comes from, but if the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, I can ask all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to see that Concubine Wen has no signs of miscarriage today, and Concubine Wen is also Without the happy pulse, the old minister can't decide whether she was not pregnant at all or had a miscarriage early on."

The queen mother was furious, pointed at Xuan Ye and said: "Her happy pulse is in the Ningshou Palace. My imperial doctor saw it, so it can be fake?"

Xuan Ye's face was serious, as if he realized something, he was about to speak, but saw Lan Qi stepping forward, clumsily kneeling on the ground, the queen mother was so startled that she asked someone to help her, but she said: "Please also ask the queen mother and the emperor to stand back, The concubine has something to say."

On this side, the illnesses of the elder princesses have stabilized. After the children vomited and ate everything, they all recovered and were sent back. When Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were about to leave, they saw Ji Xin rushing back , said that all the people in Xianfu Palace were kicked out of the main hall, only the queen mother, the emperor, Concubine Tong, and noble people were talking inside, and they didn't know what to say. I was afraid that I would be dazzling there, so I left first.

"A virtuous person has never been a troublemaker. She suddenly got close to Concubine Tong. Could it be that she knows something?" Concubine Hui was full of suspicion, while Concubine Rong only cared about the child and said that she would find out later. After the two broke up, Concubine Hui He sent people around him to inquire, but it took him a long time to come back, but he told her that the queen mother stayed and did not leave, and the emperor took the virtuous person to Qianqing Palace, Tong Guifei returned to Chengqian Palace by herself, saying that it was the same. Very proud, do not know what happened.

Concubine Hui frowned, and asked again: "You said that the emperor took the virtuous person to Qianqing Palace, why are you taking her there now?"
