Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

115 The Prince Raised by the Li Palace

Xuanye heard the sound and saw the imperial concubine come in, her complexion was not good, her smile was better than that, she knew that if she left at this moment, it would be sad, and she came to visit her to accompany her, since she woke up, she naturally didn't have to leave, got up Walking around the table, he held the imperial concubine's hand and said, "What are you doing out again, the imperial doctor doesn't want you to rest."

While talking, she led the noble concubine back to the bedroom. She talked and laughed all the way, and said bluntly that she heard the emperor say that she would go back to the Qing Palace, and she humbly hoped that the emperor could go back and have a good rest. Mentioning the matter of not bringing the virtuous person to the garden, the concubine smiled and relieved the emperor: "Today's drama is very lively, but unfortunately the virtuous person is not here, and the courtiers and concubines will also invite the play in the young year. It happens that the emperor will not go to the garden. Why don't you let noble people come to Chengqian Palace to watch a play."

Xuan Ye was a little embarrassed, but seeing her generous and calm, no matter if she was sincere or perfunctory, everyone was not good-looking at the moment, and blamed himself for not mentioning Wuya Lanqi here, so he could only respond with a few words with a smile, and then So he took the topic away, not wanting to get around Lan Qi.

The imperial concubine saw that the emperor was friendly, and she didn't want to annoy him, so the two talked for a while, waited for the supper, and the imperial concubine took medicine again, and finally got along overnight. Xuanye went to the court from here the next day, saying that he would come to see her at night, and the other Everyone didn't mention it, but as for the concubine Yi in Yikun Palace, naturally Eunuch Li took care of it.

On the contrary, there was a joke in Zhongcui Palace. Ziyu and Luzhu came back from the Palace of Compassion and Ning early in the morning to get the donkey-hide gelatin cake made by Madam Su Mala. The nobleman ended her confinement early, and Lu Zhu supported her waist and smiled: "Eunuch Li was scolded by the Empress Dowager, saying that you big men know nothing about women. After seeing it, it's not worth it. Seven or eight days old. Can't wait? The emperor is young, you have been in the palace for so long, and you still don't understand these truths?"

Ziyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Eunuch Li's face is turning green, what kind of big man is he?"

The two girls laughed foolishly, and were scolded by Lan Qi, saying that they should not be disrespectful to Mr. Li, and they depended on him for everything around the emperor, and Luzhu and Ziyu would not take it seriously, so they obediently said that they would stop making fun of them, and let Madam Su Ma be boiled. I brought the donkey-hide gelatin cake to the master, but the nanny said that it was good, so I was afraid that she would eat Xuewang.

But not long after, Eunuch Li came in person, Luzhu and Ziyu were all smiling, Lan Qi was afraid that they would be impolite, so she sent them directly to meet Eunuch Li and sat in the room, Mr. Li didn't dare to break the rules, just stood there The emperor said what he had told him, saying that he couldn't go to the garden for the time being, and there was no need to make any preparations for the virtuous man.

Although Lan Qi was originally excited because she was going to stay in the garden with Xuan Ye for a few days, she also had hidden worries, fearing that she would be looked down upon by Liu Gong. She always wanted her to remember the pain at the beginning, so she went to live in the garden with her alone. After she was excited, she was only apprehensive. Now that she doesn't have to go again, she feels much more at ease.

When Eunuch Li left, Lan Qi asked Huanchun to pack the wild ginseng and other tonics from home for him to take away. Manager Li left with gratitude, but Lu Zhu came in and said, "Isn't it a slave girl who is stingy?" Since the emperor was a child, Mr. Li has been pointed out by the empress dowager to serve him by his side. He has never seen any good things in and out of the palace. He may not be interested in your wild ginseng."

Why doesn't Lan Qi understand this? She herself came from a court lady, not to mention the highest status among the palace maids like Eunuch Li. It's just that she always remembers Mr. Li's goodness. When she broke into the Imperial Hospital that day and night, Eunuch Li bypassed her with kindness and saved Bu Gui. Not sure where he was sent.

Thinking of this, Lan Qi didn't remember to blame Lvzhu, she only felt that the time was passing by, she entered the palace in the 12th year of Kangxi, and it will be 18 years in the blink of an eye, suddenly a dream, from the maid to the concubine, now she is a mother people.

It just so happened that Concubine Duan and Mrs. Bu Gui came to sit down and heard Lvzhu chirping outside the door. After entering and sitting down, Concubine Duan talked about the fact that the emperor personally took care of the prince's acne this time, and sighed: "I forgot to remind you about this matter." You, you should be careful when you are by your side in the future. Our Long Live Lord has no fate with Ama Erniang. Both the late Emperor and Empress Xiaokang left early, but what bothered him the most was that he was sent out of the palace due to pox when he was young. As for raising, this is the first time I heard that Elder Brother Huang was sent out to be raised at a very young age, and Director Li was by the Emperor's side at that time, so it's no wonder that he is the most trusted person of the Emperor for so many years."

Lan Qi also heard about Xuan Ye being sent out to be raised when he was young. There were many Mongolian concubines in the harem of the first emperor, but the Mongolian concubines were not favored even though they were noble. Beloved, the Empress Dowager will only love her after Xuan Ye is born.Unfortunately, Xuanye developed pox. Lord Shunzhi was afraid that his son would pass the disease on to the concubines and other princesses in the harem, so he insisted on disregarding the objections of the queen mother at that time, and took the young Xuanye away from the palace to raise him. But everyone knew at the time that Lord Shunzhi It was Concubine Dong E who felt sorry for his frail body, and she was afraid that she would get sick alone.

The old things, it is bitter to say, it is the regret of Xuan Ye's life, and it is the pain of the Empress Dowager's life. Lan Qi also understands why she has repeatedly taught herself not to repeat the same mistakes, not to be a beauty, and it is a blessing for a woman to be loved by men for a lifetime, but To be loved by the man who is the emperor is a blessing and a misfortune.

Talking about these things, everyone sighed and sighed, and the atmosphere in the room was also strange. It was only later that Chunxi and Duanjing quarreled and almost scuffled for a palace flower, crying and making people forget this matter.

Concubine Duan treated the two children equally, on the contrary, nobleman Bu was born to Duanjing, so she was naturally biased. When the two girls were fighting, nobleman Bu's heart to protect the calf was obvious. Lan Qi was afraid that she would overdo it and give Duan The concubine was embarrassed, and often mentioned a few words to her in private, and Mrs. Bu Gui also said frankly: "I don't understand why, but I just can't help it. My life is different."

Lan Qi thought of the crown prince and Queen Niu Hulu in Kunning Palace, they were like their own mother and child. Although the nobleman's words were good, it was only her own thoughts, and Queen Niu Hulu could treat the prince as her own. , and the prince also wholeheartedly recognized Eniang, but it was a pity that the fate was too shallow after all.

Every time I think of the melting snow rabbit, and the indifferent and peaceful expression of Empress Niu Hulu on her deathbed, she will feel melancholy in her heart, but this short but deep love between mother and child also makes her understand that there is always true love in the palace. In addition to melancholy, I leave a bit of warmth in my heart.

The two girls reconciled quickly, and the two sisters pestered and said that they would go to see the little brother at the great-grandmother of the Compassionate Ning Palace. When they were playing, Ji Xin came from Concubine Rong and said that her master had sent her to ask Concubine Duan, Don't go to visit Concubine Tong's illness together, and Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui have already passed away.

"Concubine Yi is very magnanimous." Concubine Duan was naturally not happy. She hated the imperial concubine for the rest of her life. I'm afraid she just didn't say it on the surface. She wished that she would die early, so she just said at this moment, "Didn't the emperor leave it there?" Have you stayed? What are we going to do, Yipin Huipin has a big face, so we won't join in the fun, go back and tell your master, I won't go, and I won't stop her from going."

Ji Xin agreed, but not long after leaving, Concubine Duan said that she was going to change clothes, and took the two girls to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to greet the Empress Dowager. The palace became quiet again, Lan Qi comfortably sewed tiger-toed shoes for her son with her legs crossed on the hot kang, Huan Chun helped to wind the thread on the side, Lvzhu Yukui and the others outside were either lazy to rest, or did not know where to hide to find The little sisters were playing, but there was no one in the east side hall to support them, they waited for the curtains to be opened and the cold wind would blow in, Huanchun thought that Luzhu and the others had come in, and shouted: "Put down the curtains quickly, the wind is coming in."

Then I heard a gentle voice: "It's so warm here that you'll be sweating when you enter the door. It's time to blow some wind and come in for a change of air."

Lan Qi and Huan Chun looked up at the same time, and they were both startled. Concubine Wen, who hadn't seen her for two months, somehow came to her, followed by Dong Yun and three or four little maids. No wonder there were so many people coming in. Holding Dongyun to wait for her to take off her cloak and hood, Concubine Wen acted like an acquaintance, she fanned her hands as a fan and sat on the kang, pointing to Huanchun who had already stood aside and said: "It's too warm here, just serve me herbal tea. "

Lan Qi just came back to her senses, she hurriedly got off the kang to salute, but was hugged by Concubine Wen and said: "No need, let's sit and talk, and when I entered the door, I heard that the two over there were not there, and I was thinking what a coincidence Woolen cloth."

After hearing what Dong Yun said, I realized that Concubine Wen actually went to Chengqian Palace to greet Concubine Concubine Hui, but Concubine Concubine Wen saw Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui. When they came out, they saw Concubine Wen waiting outside, which made them both embarrassed. Concubine Wen didn't mind, she turned around and walked back. No, otherwise she wouldn't have come in.

Huanchun has already served tea, although Concubine Wen wanted herbal tea, how dare she be negligent, brought good tea, and saved up fruit plates and snack boxes, how can it be too shabby to treat guests in the twelfth lunar month, even Concubine Wen praised: " Huanchun is really capable, and he is thoughtful in the blink of an eye. It is probably because you often have people coming here when it is lively. Yun and the others are all tired and crooked."

It's not that Lan Qi is afraid of the little Niu Hulu family, it's just that for such an unpredictable person, seeing her eyes makes her feel cold. No one will pursue that matter in October. No one jumps out to make a theory, and now it can be said that it has faded away, but of course the bystanders should fade away. She participated in it personally and knows the bottom line, how can it be faded?

"I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager yesterday. The Empress Dowager led me to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Although the Empress Dowager was still annoyed at me, she didn't show any signs of embarrassment. She even let me take a look at my little elder brother." Concubine Wen smiled. As Yoyo said, she, the instigator, possessed a sense of freedom as if such a thing had never happened before.

When Lan Qi heard about her son, she was startled, she was so busy preventing the concubine from robbing the child, she forgot about this man, and she couldn't reveal it right now, so she suppressed her emotions and said: "Little elder brother is blessed, let the ladies think about it. "
