Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Only then did Chunxi's proud eyes weaken a little, she knelt between Concubine Duan and Lan Qi, pulled Concubine Duan's sleeve with one hand and called Er Niang, and pulled Lan Qi with the other hand and said, "E Niang, don't blame the noble lady, It's my son who seeks virtue and honor, I will never dare again, my son has my mother in my heart, please don't misunderstand me."

Concubine Duan rubbed her head, and it was inconvenient to say that she let their biological mother and daughter meet, but just sighed: "Girl, what is it that you cheated a noble man? Your mother-in-law returned to the palace, how will you live in the future?" ? You are a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, so naturally you don't have such troubles, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of the bottom of the flower pot stepping on the floor tiles sounded, and four or five dignified court ladies came out, surrounded by the empress dowager. Aunt Su Mala was on the side, seeing the three people kneeling on the ground, Just smiled: "It's so cold on the ground, Duan Concubine quickly got the princess up."

But the empress dowager said angrily: "It's better to be cooler, and you can be more clear-headed when you kneel."

While talking, the ladies in the court retreated, and the queen mother came back from nowhere, and said that she had settled down with the old concubines in the imperial family. When she saw a few people kneeling on the ground, she shook her head and said, "Prince Gong, Fujin's face is scratched." It took a lot, the little girl is really amazing."

Aunt Su Mala came to invite the Queen Mother to sit down and asked Prince Gong about Fujin, only to realize that after she fell to the ground and slapped Fujin on the side, Chunxi rushed up and kicked her, stretching out her hand to pull the pearl on her head Son, the pearl hairpin scratched the skin on the forehead, a wound as long as the little finger, fortunately it was horizontally below the hairline, if it was combed down, this face would be ruined.

Concubine Duan frowned when she heard these words, but Lan Qi saw Chunxi's indifferent face beside her. The more the Queen Mother said that Prince Gong Fujin was hurt badly, the more she felt relieved. So many things.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager saw everything in her eyes. Seeing that Chunxi had no remorse, she was angry and distressed, and said coldly: "I thought the palace would really be peaceful, and I just felt that the burden on my body was lightened. I made a fuss like this. The emperor is my grandson, and Prince Gong is also my grandson. In your eyes, there is a difference between monarch and minister, but in my eyes, they are all the same. You don’t talk about getting along well with each other. , are you still bullying people?"

Concubine Duan kowtowed deeply, fell on the ground and said: "It's all the concubines who are incapable of discipline. The emperor's holy grace gave Chunxi to the concubines to raise. The concubines are devoted to pampering and pampering them, and they have forgotten the important rules of the ancestors. They will not dare to neglect them in the future. You must teach the princess well, please calm down the empress dowager and the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager said from the side: "Emperor Niang and I have nothing to be angry about, but this matter is too ugly. It was said earlier that the Emperor is biased..."

"Okay." The empress dowager stopped her words, the empress dowager's face became serious, regretting what she should have said, she coughed dryly, said she was going to visit some old concubines, and asked Madam Su Mala With a wink, he left first.

"If you are still in the palace, Fujin is your aunt. A concubine's daughter beat up your aunt. Do you know what crime it is?" Facing the seven-year-old girl, the Empress Dowager did not lose her majesty at all.

Only then did the princess suppress her proud expression, and looked at her great-grandmother in awe and fear. Just as she said just now, the emperor and Prince Gong are both her grandsons. Chunxi always knew that she was not the real princess in this palace, but only when she was in the palace. The grandmother is the most at ease in front of her, because she is the great-grandson of her own relatives, just like the real princesses.

"Empress Dowager, the concubine was on the side at that moment. It was Fujin who hurt people first with bad words. It was the concubine's fault that the concubine failed to stop the princess. Please don't blame the princess. The concubine Duan will do it in the future." Teach it well." Lan Qi has been in the Compassionate Ning Palace for a long time, and she has more or less grasped the temper of the Empress Dowager, she absolutely shouldn't say these words now, but knowing that the Empress Dowager will punish Chunxi, she couldn't help but say it , Saying it clearly is adding fuel to the fire, but if I don't say it, I really can't help it.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her and ignored her, as if she wanted to settle a sum of money, she said in a deep voice: "Concubine Duan, you have been with me and the emperor for more than ten years, this makes sense and winks. Don't come? I can't punish you today. If I punish you, it will appear that the emperor's concubine is not as honorable as Prince Fujin, and loses Xuan Ye's face. I can't forgive you."

Concubine Duan kowtowed again, without saying a word.

The Empress Dowager set her eyes on Chunxi again. Among the girls, she liked Chunxi the most. First, she felt sorry for her being taken away from her birth mother, and second, she entered the palace by herself. , Lan Qi sent her to Zhongcui Palace before giving birth, and also ensured that her little elder brother was born smoothly. This girl is blessed, but this time it was really ugly. Thinking that there may be such things in the future, the clan It is also common to adopt adoptions in the family. Since a joke has been made, it is necessary to follow the rules.

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you enter the palace as a princess and the most honorable girl in the world, she is still your aunt. Is there any reason for a niece to fight against your aunt? As for your mother, She is a concubine in the palace, how do you want her to live in the future? Now that this matter is spread, it will only say that the emperor and concubine Duan did not teach you well, and that my great-grandmother spoiled her granddaughter. But it’s all about the people around you.”

"Great-grandmother, I was wrong..." Chunxi finally burst into tears, and fell on the ground begging for forgiveness.

Seeing her cry, the old man felt distressed again, but thinking that he had to think about the future and Xuan Ye's face, he still ordered cruelly: "Su Mala, go pass on the family law, and reward Chunxi ten boards."

"The Empress Dowager..." Lan Qi and Concubine Duan exclaimed at the same time, and Chunxi beside her was also terrified, but the Empress Dowager didn't even look at them, her eyes were cold outside the door. Knowing the master's temper, if he persuaded him again, he would only beat him harder, so he went out and called for someone to come.

Half a moment later, a sturdy nanny held a five-finger-wide board in her hand and led the little eunuch to bring in the bench. Chunxi was so frightened that she burst into tears and clung to Concubine Duan and refused to let go, Concubine Duan was also very frightened , holding her daughter so that no one would take her away, she kept begging the Empress Dowager for mercy and begging the Empress Dowager to beat her.

But the old man on the seat didn't say a word, and Aunt Su Mala had already pulled Lan Qi to keep her from moving. The eunuchs and aunties finally separated the mother and daughter, holding the concubine on one side, and the princess on the other. The little man was lying on the bench, crying hoarsely before hitting him, and then he was beaten down with two boards, and the scream almost pierced the roof.

The child of Jin Zhi Yu Ye is only seven years old, how can he stand such a heavy punishment, the old mother is not relentless, she must know the temper of the Empress Dowager, just like a whip hit Lan Qi back then, now By the time of seven or eight strokes, Chunxi had already lost her voice from the pain.

"Stop beating..." Concubine Duan finally broke free from the maid who was holding her down, threw herself on Chunxi's side to protect her body, and begged the Empress Dowager to beat her and stop beating her children. Lan Qi was always dragged by Madam Su Ma Then, when Mammy let go of her hand, she fell limp on the ground.

The Empress Dowager didn't agree and didn't call to continue, she got up and left her seat, Aunt Su Mala hurried forward to help, the old man walked slowly to the inner hall, ignoring what was going on here, Lan Qi stared blankly at the concubine Duan hugging her. Looking at the soft Chunxi, her mind went blank, suddenly crying came from the little brother's room, and Yinzhen's crying sounded like "Er Niang", which woke her up from shock and fear.

The nurses and eunuchs didn't dare to continue, they took the opportunity to pack up the torture tools and left. They didn't want to commit crimes and beat these delicate golden branches and jade leaves. The empress dowager has never said anything different. If they didn't beat them ruthlessly just now, the punishment the little princess would suffer would be even worse. Heavy.

"Chunxi, open your eyes and look at Erniang, Erniang will take you back, stop beating me." Concubine Duan burst into tears, her heart was broken in pain, Lan Qi stood up slowly by the side, and finally She wanted to get closer, but she saw Su Mala turned back and said to her calmly, "The Empress Dowager wants you to see Prince Gong Fujin. You are at fault for not stopping me today. As for Duan Concubine, proper concubine and master, it's better not to bow to Fujin."

"Bow your head?" Lan Qi was in a trance.

The mother's face was concentrated: "Go and apologize to Fujin, just say that you didn't stop the fault, the concubine Duan and the princess did nothing wrong and you have to apologize to her. The empress dowager will punish Fujin later, but this is a matter between the two Son, don't get mixed up."

After saying these words, the nanny called for someone to bring the virtuous man to see Prince Gong Fujin, the concubine Duan got up holding Chunxi, Chunxi was already grown up, she couldn't walk very far with her arms, other court ladies and eunuchs still came to hug her Go, Concubine Duan staggered, and the nanny came up to support her and said: "Being beaten by my great-grandmother, what's wrong with it, children who are beaten will grow up to be promising, don't take it to heart, go back and coax her well, and be nice to her." The princess speaks the truth."

Concubine Duan used to be a court lady trained by Madam Su Mala, and was sent to Xuan Ye's side together with Concubine Rong. Step by step, Concubine Duan has a lot of support behind her, and she respects Madam as an elder relative in her heart. Hearing these words, of course he was relieved, he didn't dare to cry anymore, wiped away his tears and bowed inside, and went back with Chunxi.

On this side, Lan Qi followed the people from the Palace of Compassion and Peace to Ningshou Palace. Prince Gong Fu Jin was sent here directly after being injured, and the stage at Chengqian Palace was not withdrawn. Apart from a few people involved, Concubine Tong Guifei led everyone Watching the play, nothing happened.

The queen mother was talking with several old concubines, and she heard that she did not come to see her when she came, so she asked her to take her directly to see Prince Gong Fujin, and Lan Qi came to find out that Prince Gong and Fang Fujin were also there. Sitting there without saying a word, only Fujin cried from time to time.

The three of them and a few girl servants saw the virtuous man coming, and they all stood up to greet each other. After seeing each other's family gifts, Lan Qi sank down and poured out everything she had to say, whether she bowed her head or made an apology, Lan Qi There is no such arrogance in his bones, the four words of the overall situation are more important than the invisible and intangible dignity.

Prince Gong naturally blamed his wife, but he could only say a few words, but Fujin cried: "My lord, there are rumors in the palace that you have a private meeting with a noble man, is there really?"
