Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi came back to her senses, so naturally she didn't dare to say what was on her mind, she just smiled perfunctorily to Xuan Ye: "It's the first time for my concubine to see the emperor hugging the little elder brother like this, and I'm fascinated by it."

"You're already a mother-in-law, and you're so stupid." Xuan Ye was angry, turned around and signaled the nurses to come up, and asked them to take the little elder brother back to the Palace of Compassion, while he walked around the tower with Lan Qi on his arm. Then we got down together and went back to Qianqing Palace in warm sedan chairs.Just after entering the palace, there was a booklet handed in, there was a minister waiting to see the emperor, and there was no time to spare, Lan Qi sat alone in the warm pavilion and waited for a long time, and then Eunuch Li came to invite her, saying that the emperor I'm too busy here, please go back first.

After all, the two of them couldn't talk properly, but they also talked a lot on the Meridian Gate Tower. Although they hadn't seen each other for dozens of days, the emperor knew everything about him, even the incident of her losing her temper and crying. It's clear that the little nobleman knows that he is nestling in the heart of others, because Xuan Ye is really too busy.

"Master Degui, the date of the seal has been set, and the servant has sent someone to the garden to do some work. We are just waiting for the emperor to stay with you for a few days." Eunuch Li comforted Mr. Degui, and sent her outside the door, while letting the young The eunuch pressed the sedan chair, and helped the noble man onto the sedan chair with her own hands. Lan Qi felt that time was passing by. She still clearly remembered the few words she had said to Eunuch Li when she was still a court lady. In a blink of an eye, she even gave birth to her little elder brother. As a mother-in-law, and Eunuch Li is getting older, seeing the gray hair on his temples, he can't help but feel distressed and say, "Elder-in-law should also take care of himself, the emperor can't live without you."

Eunuch Li said with a smile: "The servant has nothing else to do, except that his body is still very strong."

"I have wild ginseng from my family. I'm too young to make up for it. Let Huanchun bring it to you later. It's good to make tea and drink when you are free." Lan Qi said as she got into the sedan chair, and the warm sedan chair slowly left After leaving the Qianqing Palace, the little nobleman sat inside and his body softened, thinking of all the things just now, his heart was full.

I thought seeing Xuan Ye again would be full of emotion, but the two of them are like an old couple who have been together for more than ten years, there is no smell of reunion after a long absence, laughing and talking are still the same as before, but he can see every little bit of change in himself Here, she held her hands and said that her skin was more delicate, she held her waist and asked why she was wrapped in hard and thick things, and compared her height and said how she grew taller, the little nobleman laughed and said that wearing soft shoes during pregnancy made her look shorter , Now it looks taller when you wear it back to the bottom of the flowerpot.

The emperor is very busy, but the careful things make people feel incredible. He even knows how many times the little elder brother eats a day, when he is awake and when he is sleepy. Lan Qi vaguely remembers the day of Tong Guifei's birthday, and the emperor blamed himself for being wrong. The children are negligent, and I don't know whether he cares about every child now, or only cares about his little elder brother, and the appearance of the emperor holding his son in the city tower and ruling the world just now, still makes his heart jump when he thinks about it.

She shook her head and told herself: "Don't think wildly, it is a great blessing for the child to be safe and healthy."

The sedan chair was swaying, and he didn't know where he was going. He suddenly heard lively noises and knew that he was approaching Chengqian Palace. The empress is gone, just wait a moment."

Lan Qi's heart moved, and she hurriedly said: "Let me go out, girls come here, how can I sit in the sedan chair and wait."

Then a little eunuch came to draw up the door curtain and helped her get off the sedan chair. Before she could press the sedan chair, many people came out from Chengqian Palace in front of her. He also promised that the court ladies would be surrounded by her. After several general elections, the harem is now full and prosperous, and the concubines are coming out in a hurry. Lan Qi is not worthy of her name.

Naturally, no one recognizes the unknown concubine, but no one knows the virtuous and tireless nobleman. When everyone saw her waiting on the side of the road, and the few eunuchs around her looked like Qianqing Palace, they immediately understood where the nobleman came back from. , but everyone knows that she is still entrusted with the purpose of confinement, so they can't help but feel aggrieved and sour. Thinking about how competitive and favored she is in summer, she still can't compare with this person in front of her.

Lan Qi came forward to greet Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi, who was straightforward, asked with a smile, "This is coming back from Qianqing Palace? Isn't it still in confinement?"

Lan Qi also felt embarrassed, she had known that the little eunuch had to detour and go from the back, so she had to tell the truth: "The emperor summoned his concubine to say a few words, and I'm going back."

Yipin smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just inside..." She pointed behind her, "You've already gone out, and you didn't come to greet me, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will be unhappy, why don't you go in now and say hello, don't you go back later?" Chi, there is no reason why the excitement of the New Year's Festival is inaccessible."

Mrs. An on the side groaned, leaning over to Concubine Yi and said, "Your Majesty is kindly reminding you that the noble lady of virtue is ordered to confine herself to confinement, and she is also ordered to go to the Qianqing Palace. No matter how noble the imperial concubine is, she can't compare to her superiors. Don't leave me alone." This idea, the imperial concubine feels uncomfortable, and the nobleman is not happy, but it makes you not a human being inside and out."

When she said this, several people behind her promised to come up and salute the virtuous person, and then dispersed, as if they were afraid of stepping into this muddy water, but Yipin had already glared at An Guiren, ignored her, and walked up to Lan Qi and said : "Would you like me to accompany you in? It's not good if you don't enter the door when you get to the door. We'll be courteous, and it's always right."

Lan Qi owed herself to say yes, and she didn't need Yi concubine to accompany her. She took the little eunuch to enter the door, but before she could enter the door, Qinglian came out to greet her, and said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, I'm tired after watching the drama for a long time. Get off, I heard that the nobleman is coming, let the servants welcome you, and say that there is no need to go to pay respects, and we can get together after you recover your body. Chengqian Palace still has a stage in the young year, please come to the theater again, which one do you like? It’s a sub-drama, let Huanchun write it later and send it to the empress to know.”

Qinglian's words were polite and thoughtful, Lan Qi walked down the steps, saluted in front of the door, turned around and came back, and saw An Gui winking uncomfortably, Yi Concubine turned around and called Shang Jue Chan We went together, but Concubine Hui stayed behind and said: "My sister, let her go for us. I don't know what happened to Nala Chang, she always lived there and was taken care of. Let her go and have a look and talk back." , my sister and I went to Yikun Palace to visit Guo Guiren."

Lan Qi stood aside without saying a word, watching the few people disperse and leave, Concubine Rong led Princess Rongxian and Concubine Duan to Zhongcui Palace to sit, and the little princesses came and walked with Lan Qi, everyone just After moving back to Zhongcui Palace from Chengqian Palace, they all gathered in Dongpei Palace and asked her where she had gone, because Mrs. Li, acting on behalf of the emperor, asked her to just say that she was in Qianqing Palace, so she just pretended to be perfunctory.

On this side, Jue Chan promised to go to her former residence. She is of low status and does not have a warm sedan chair to sit in. The road will inevitably be covered with snow and ice, and Nala often lives in a remote place. It took more than half an hour to get closer. Just as I turned the corner and was about to enter the door, a group of guards came in front of me in neat steps.

Most of the guards had to give way when they met the concubines, but Jue Chan saw the leader, and the one walking in front of the line also saw her clearly, and they looked at each other fiercely. Jue Chan only heard the maid behind him say: "Master, it's time for us to go in." She responded casually, turned around to climb up the steps, but stepped on the corner of the steps, the bottom of the flower pot was broken, and the whole person flung herself under the steps, and the maid beside her didn't have time to help her, so she got stuck on her hands. Roll down with me.

The guards over there hurried over and helped a group of people up from the ground, Jue Chan promised to look up to see the people in front of him clearly, suddenly felt sad, pushed his hand away, bowed slightly and said, "Master Nalan is polite."

Rong Ruo stared at him blankly, today he was on duty to inspect the palace, because there were a lot of people coming and going in the palace on New Year's Day, the protection was more stringent than before, although he kept thinking about meeting her on the road one day, knowing that she Living in the palace and seldom going out, after repeated disappointments, I didn't dare to think too much, but I didn't know that I saw it today.

Since Jue Chan's arrival in Yikun Palace, Mrs. Guo Gui has been taking care of her. Although she only lives in a small room in the backyard of Yikun Palace, it is neat and clean. Mrs. Guo Gui often gives her things, or calls her to go to the front. Gossiping about family affairs, busy all day making fancy new clothes for the ladies, having a fulfilling life and no longer thinking about it, and concubine Hui coming to visit her every other day, it is much better than staying here with Nala.

Naturally, she wants to let herself live well, and it is good in any place.In addition, as I get older, my eyebrows and eyes become more open, my daily meals are rich, and the court ladies are attentive, and I no longer look weak, and gradually have the temperament of a palace concubine, and a natural beauty, the concubine Guo Guiren is only considered to be good-looking, Even a noble concubine who is so high-quality and charming is almost inferior to her, but fortunately, she only agreed to dress in a simple and low-key manner so that she would not really stand out in front of others.

Rongruo can also see all this, the cousin has become a woman, not the child she used to be, but this woman is now his unattainable concubine, not to mention the childhood sweethearts who used to be intimate and playful, now talk to each other , have become a luxury, she was not doing well a few days ago, and Rong Ruo was also suffering every day, but recently I heard that she is getting better, so I feel at ease.

At this moment, seeing my cousin in good condition, I couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but said, "I promise you will be well? The weather is cold now, and you have asthma for a long time, please take care of your health."

Jue Chan's eyes flickered, dignified guards and foreign ministers, how can they know the concubine's old illness, this sentence tells all the clues of their past, all kinds of sadness welled up in his heart, turned his face and said: "I'm fine, Thank you Lord Nalan." After saying that, she helped the maid's hand to climb up the steps again, and entered the door without looking back, she knew in her heart that if she said a few more words, no matter how remote the place was, it would still spread the word. Gossip made everyone know.

After entering the door, I saw the familiar courtyard in front of me. I remembered how many times I had been looking for death since I came here, and I remembered being beaten and dying on the bed by the imperial concubine. No fear of life and death, thinking that life is nothing to love, but actually don't want to die at all. Those who really want to die are long gone.

The curtain was opened, and the maid came out to see her, and said with a smile: "Jue Chan promised to come? Please sit in the room, the master is saying that no one will come to see her."

Jue Chan came back to her senses, calmed down and went in the door. When she lived here, she didn't often come to Nala's house. At that time, she was just an official girl, and even the maids didn't like her very much. She can't live in peace, Nala always hates herself, she always understands in her heart, she has never had any contact with her after leaving, she can't go against Concubine Hui's words, she can only bite the bullet today, now hearing the court lady's polite words, she feels ridiculous.

When I entered the door, I saw Nala with a big belly lying on the kang. Nala often had a bit of beauty, otherwise she would not be able to conceive twice. The most favored person has never seen such good luck. She has been in bed a few times, and she has met them all.But Nala Changzai didn't seem to think so. Jue Chan promised to know all the time that she was high-minded, and often said that when the elder brothers grew up, she would have hope.

Seeing Mrs. Jue Chan coming now, he sighed and said: "It's the New Year's Day, no one came to see me, or sister, you have a heart, I thought I went to Yikun Palace, and the price was high, so I don't look down on our remoteness. place."

Juechan promised not to say anything, but only asked if he was okay, saying that concubine Hui and concubine Yi were worried and sent her to have a look, and they would answer right away, so they couldn't stay with her any longer.But Nala didn't seem to hear it, she chattered on and on, pulling her to ask if she had been summoned by the emperor for a while, saying that they were sisters anyway, and they would support each other in the future, and even cursing and asking if they could think of something. Let her move to live in the Zhengjing palace. It is too remote to call an imperial doctor for a long time. Jue Chan promised that he could only be perfunctory and said: "I will ask you later."

While talking, the little maid came in with a gift box and said that the reward given by the concubine Zhong Cui, the nobleman and the nobleman together was to respect the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the imperial concubine, and the concubine Wen. Bringing it over, Nala asked him to have a look at what it was. Seeing that it was nothing more than an ordinary object, he seemed very disappointed, and said, "Three of you put together, that's all there is?"

Let's talk about Nala Shi, when she gave birth to elder brother Wanfu, she was still very good-natured, but seeing that everyone was living a better life than her, it seemed that her elder brother didn't exist when she gave birth to her, and now she has a second child She is about to give birth, but no one still thinks highly of her, as if she is not a dragon species, compared to the situation where thousands of noble people dote on her, her heart becomes more and more aggrieved, and hatred gradually arises.

"I'm lucky. The imperial doctor came and said it's all right. Sister, do you know that on the way back I met a noble man who went to the front. Guess what those slaves said about me and forced me to make way?" She mentioned the road ahead. I was full of anger and grievances, and I dragged Jue Chan to chatter for a long time, and then wept, sobbing, "Why am I not as good as a human? Isn't the dragon in my stomach? "

Jue Chan's ears were buzzing, and she only heard a few words, whether it was important or not. She didn't care about Nala Chang's situation, and she didn't envy the noble man's favor. For the person she met just now, she didn't care what the women in the palace were like, probably the only thing she understood was that Concubine Hui used her as a stepping stone, and this was the only way for her to live well.

Now she wants to live well, so that the person outside can also live well.

After finally leaving Nala, Jue Chan promised that his ears were clean. When he walked out the door, he always felt that something was different outside. He led the maid back along the way. The snow and ice on the road disappeared, and the little maid beside her murmured: "It seems that someone has swept the road. This place is remote, and it's possible that the palace people don't do their best to clean it. Now it's very clean."

Jue Chan agreed that her heart was warm and aching, and she knew who sent someone to clean the way back. It must be that person who was afraid that the road would be difficult for her, and she would fall again.After that, I hoped to meet him again all the way, but after all, it was in the deep palace, how could it be so easy to see the foreign minister again, so I could only pray silently, hoping that Rong Ruohao would be good.

When he was about to arrive at Yikun Palace, he remembered that Concubine Hui was waiting for his reply, worried that the maids would talk about meeting the guards, so she told them not to talk too much, lest someone gossip, and then went to Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui, After talking about Nala's constant presence, Guo Guiren sighed from the side: "For people like us, of course we can't compare with that of Zhongcui Palace."

Concubine Yi didn't answer her younger sister's words, and told Taohong to go to see her the next day, but Concubine Hui said: "My elder brother often tells the imperial doctor, since the disturbance in Chengqian Palace, the other children are fine, our elder brother He was alive and kicking around at night, but Wan Mi has not been well, I heard that the imperial doctor has said in private that it may not be useful."

Guo Guiren said sourly: "But our Long Live Lord, we are only thinking about the little elder brother who was just born. Even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager may have forgotten that there is such a grandson."

Yipin glanced at her younger sister and signaled her to keep silent.Not only is my younger sister's temper straighter than hers, but her desires and thoughts are more realistic than hers. She said that entering the palace means fighting for the family's face, and what's the point of living a life of ups and downs? It is better to fight for it, and her temperament seems to be in line with the emperor's taste. At least compared to other people, she is likable, but she is still not half as good as Wu Yashi. I took advantage of the loopholes during pregnancy, so I have been aggrieved all the time, and no one is allowed to mention it.

Concubine Hui looked at Sister Guo Luoluo with cold eyes, and sighed in her heart that she didn't have a little sister with such a flamboyant tooth and claws by her side, a child who would never cry had milk to eat, and she looked sideways at Chan, that this girl can live a good life now I just recited the Buddha, and I don't know when I will be able to open my mind. Zhenzhenbai has such a beautiful face. Where did the emperor spend so much time to pay attention to every woman?

Sigh to sigh, now is not the time, Wu Ya is very favored, there is no need to find someone to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, the brothers are still young, and they are not afraid to wait for three to five years, maybe at that time the emperor will have a new favorite, for Wu Ya Shi spent too much energy, and in the end she replaced a new player. She couldn't afford it, and finally found this beautiful chess piece, and she had to be sure about every move.

Everyone Xu Xu said a few more words, Concubine Hui left Yikun Palace, and Jue Chan also wanted to go back to her own house, but Guo Guiren called to stop her when she was about to leave, "Are you so willing to be at the mercy of Concubine Hui?"

Concubine Yi was shocked, and scolded her younger sister: "You're talking nonsense again, she and Concubine Hui are also considered relatives, so of course they are closer."

Guo Guiren paid no attention to his elder sister, and walked over slowly, his stomach has not been obvious for three or four months, but his body has already gained a lot of weight, so he is naturally jealous of Jue Chan's flower-like appearance and wicker-like figure, looking at Concubine Hui Leading her to show her face everywhere, and almost sending her directly to the dragon couch, of course she was uncomfortable.

"Since you live in Yikun Palace, don't be fond of Concubine Hui anymore." Guo Guiren said bluntly, "How do Concubine Yi and I treat you? You know in your heart that we don't expect you to win favors and invite favors." , if you can guarantee that you will not help Concubine Hui to plot against us in the future, you will live safely in Yikun Palace for the rest of your life, and no one will bully you, but if you are willing to hang around behind Concubine Hui all day long, Don't blame us for treating you as an outsider, and Yikun Palace will naturally not tolerate you."

Concubine Yi frowned, pulled her sister away and said, "Let's live together well, what are you talking about." Then she inferred Chan, "Go back, she is not in good health today, she is very angry, she is pregnant."

Jue Chan didn't want to bother about these words, so she turned around and left after Fu Fu, but Guo Guiren refused to let her go, calling her back and saying, "I asked you a question, why didn't you answer it?" He also said to her sister, "Sister is too good-natured. No matter how good it gets, everyone will step on us. I can't rub the sand in my eyes. What is Concubine Hui's plan? Do you want everyone to hide it? She herself is not afraid of being talked about. I can't wait to confess my love everywhere, and have such a beautiful little girl who promises to follow her."

"The concubine won't compete with you for anything, and the concubine Hui didn't use the concubine to do anything. Guo Guiren, it's important that you take care of yourself. If you don't like the concubine, it's good for the concubine to move to another place. It's always you and your belly." The middle child is important." Jue Chan looked at her expressionlessly, and did not give an answer today, fearing that she would not be allowed to leave. She survived her life like that before, and still cared about a little woman's tongue. Not all the women in the village are like this, Nala is like this, Guo Guiren is not much better, his superiors can't compare, and those who bully and bully those who are not as good as himself, they have the right to comfort them.

There was fire in Guo Guiren's eyes, and he said to Concubine Yi: "Listen, sister, I don't even bother to live here, blame my sister for being so kind, why bring her back? How about our sisters being quiet?"

"You're enough." Yipin was annoyed, she was the one who wanted to keep Mrs. Chan in the past, so she naturally had her own plans, the younger sister's nonsense, she only looked at the present, she didn't know her future plans, after all, Concubine Hui was the palace People with senior qualifications in the village should not be offended if they don't talk about friendship. Now, if Mr. Jue Chan mentions these words again, it will be difficult to be polite as usual.

"You go back, for my sake, don't argue with her." Yipin said kindly, pushed Juechan away, turned her head and stared at her sister and shook her head, but Guo Guiren sat down unwillingly, and said angrily, "Sister, why should you look at Concubine Hui's face? She has been in the palace for so many years, and she is only in the concubine position. You are younger than her, and you are equal to her even if you have no children. In the future, if you have a man and a half woman, you still don't know how to surpass her." Well, what are you afraid of?"

Yipin sighed straight away: "I'm afraid of what she will do, you bastard..."

"Master, someone from Qianqing Palace has arrived."

Concubine Yi was about to reprimand her younger sister, but Tao Hong came from outside, saying that Qianqing Palace had sent someone to pass on a message that the emperor was going to stay at Yikun Palace at night, Eunuch Li asked Concubine Yi to make preparations earlier, Concubine Yi was of course happy, but nobleman Guo was not. Pointing to Tao Hong, she said: "Send someone to take care of that foxy girl in the backyard, don't let her spoil my sister's good deeds."

On a good day in Laba, when the emperor went to Concubine Yi, everyone secretly laughed at Concubine Concubine Wen and Concubine Wen for their bleakness, but they didn't know that Xuan Ye had sent someone to inform Concubine Gui, saying that she had worked hard to entertain the Six Palaces and family members today. I want her to take a good rest for a day, and she will come to Chengqian Palace for a short stay in the next few days, so when the people outside are still joking, the imperial concubine has already happily asked Qinglian to make preparations, hoping that the emperor will be happy when he comes.

The most things waiting to be cleaned up in the uterus at this time are the holiday gifts from the various palaces and family members. Qinglian brought the little maids to arrange them in different categories. Concubine Tong Guifei couldn't stay idle, so she also came over to have a look. She didn't care about ordinary things. I caught my eye, looked at it, and suddenly asked: "What did you send later?"

Qinglian knew that she asked about Zhong Cuigong, so she found it out. It was just an ordinary dim sum tea, nothing new, but the paper that came with the gift was very delicate, with delicate characters on it. Concubine Tong looked at it in her hand, as if Talking to himself: "Did she write it?"

"Who is your lady asking?" Qinglian asked.

Concubine Tong regained her senses, dropped it casually and said: "It's nothing, I saw that the word looks pretty, didn't it mean that Zhongcui Palace is full of scholars?"

Qinglian said with a smile: "I'm talking about the virtuous lady, she just loves to read, and the concubine Duan and Mrs. Bugui are too busy to take care of the princesses."

Concubine Tong thought of Princess Chunxi, and Prince Gong's tears at Fujin that day, her heart was heavy, and she compared her heart with her heart. If her daughter was adopted and adopted, she would also be in pain.No wonder Concubine Hui wanted to snatch back Elder Brother back in the first place, now and then, that day she said with a cold face that it was not good to look at Fujin, but when she looked back, her heart trembled, and her chest was filled with regrets that she did not want to admit. I always feel that rules are rules, and favors are favors.

The most ridiculous thing is that she once went to ask Wu Yashi for an unborn child, and she used threatening and lure words. Since entering the palace, she has been tortured or humiliated against this little nobleman, but she has not suppressed her light. He kept going up, and it seemed that he was about to become a forest, but he looked at himself, except for the title of imperial concubine, and the empty Chengqian Palace, he had nothing.

The imperial concubine's expression gradually dimmed, and she sat blankly under the bright window on the kang, the light outside became weaker and weaker, and the expression on her face also became weaker and weaker. As I said, what kind of heart does this woman have to help a "wicked person" who bullies her repeatedly regardless of past suspicions.

"I'm a villain." Concubine Tong murmured to herself. Since the death of Queen Niu Hulu, her heart has been empty. It seems that she has no one to target at the top. She doesn't know how to live. She calms down and thinks When I thought about it, I realized that I never knew how to live.

When entering the palace, Ama said, you want to help the emperor deal with Niu Hulu's people, and after entering the palace, Ama said, the Tong family has never had a decent queen, so you have to fight for the Tong family... until now... Empress Hulu died, and Concubine Wen cut her own way, so Ama told her not to fight or grab, and to wait with peace of mind, and wait for the day after the rising tide.

But what does all of this have to do with her? Does it mean that on the day when there is a concubine, no one will care about her life in the future?

At that time, when everyone was waiting to see Concubine Tong being pulled down, who was the one who stood up and said something for him?
