Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

After Concubine Wen said this, Concubine Tong felt vague. When she saw her fall and was helped up just now, she did feel very familiar, but she didn't match up with anyone in her heart. Now Concubine Wen said that she was like Wu Ya, She was not so impressed.

Turning around, she called Qinglian to come up, and asked, "Where is the promise that I just fell outside the Qianqing Gate?"

"When I was leaving, my maidservant asked, it was Dai Xu who lived with Nobleman An, and entered the palace with Concubine Wen the year before last." Qinglian was really alert, seeing both her master and Concubine Wen were paying attention, Turning around, he sent someone to inquire. Now he said in detail, "Dai promised to be in poor health since entering the palace. I rarely saw her for big or small things before. Today is the first time I see her."

Concubine Wen smiled: "There are many people in this palace who have never seen each other in their entire lives. Whether it is the empress dowager or the emperor, I have long forgotten who I chose. This Dai promised is not in good health and lives in Angui. There, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."

They also know that Mrs. An has a bad temper and a bad mouth. They are afraid that they will bully the newcomers under the same roof. Since Concubine Wen said that she looks like Wu Ya, Mrs. An hates the people in Zhongcui Palace so much. Of course, I want to bully even more. It is false to think that I am not in good health, and it is true that I dare not speak up when I am bullied.

"Although we are delicate, we don't have the strength to stand and wait for a while?" Concubine Wen sighed, "Looking at the pale complexion and being so thin, God knows what I suffered from Mrs. An."

Concubine Tong glanced at her: "Sister is very caring, why? I want to be like Concubine Hui, leading a beautiful little promise to wander around."

Concubine Wen smiled back at her contemptuous look: "I can't offend my concubines, and the emperor doesn't hate his concubines. There is still tea that the emperor loves in Xianfu Palace. But this Dai promised that he fell out of fame just now, noble concubine Isn't your empress the favorite to watch operas? You have to watch it carefully in the future."

Concubine Tong sneered: "You are much more interesting than your sister. Others used to underestimate you. If you want to come to Linga outside, you should also snicker in your dreams."

Concubine Wen bowed her body, and said proudly: "A Ling'er was suffocated to death in a dream, and my concubine would not shed a single tear. The concubine is the daughter-in-law of the Aixinjueluo family. Relevance? A concubine is much more interesting than a sister. In the days to come, how will you live your life? The fortune of the country is prosperous, the sage Mingjun, the bell rings, the tripod is rich, and the life is rich. Living like this is enough."

Concubine Tong's heart trembled when she said these words, she frowned and said, "What do you mean by that, could it be that it was my birthday last year..."

"It's the first day of spring, and it's been 18 years since Kangxi." Concubine Wen said with a smile, "My concubine has completely forgotten the past, and those words just now didn't make sense to me. The noble concubine raised her hands high, and the concubine closed the door to live a good life in Xianfu Palace, so you don’t have to worry about it. Again, A Ling’er is dead, and it has nothing to do with me. You have to bite the concubine, and the concubine It's not like she's a vegetarian and prays to Buddha. Concubine Wen, who knelt down on the road after being frightened by you with a few words, went with her sister a long time ago."

Concubine Tong tensed up all over, but saw Concubine Wen Zhou Zhou was saluting, and called Dong Yun to come up to help, and the group of people meandered away to Ningshou Palace, leaving her here in a daze, Qinglian urged for a long time, The noble concubine regained her composure, holding her heart in front of the door and thinking, she thought she was living a free and unrestrained life, but in fact she was far inferior to Concubine Wen, her hands and feet were always bound by her family, by Ama, by Xuanye bound.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Qinglian looked embarrassed, and she was really taken aback by Concubine Wen's sudden showdown.

"Send someone to send a message, let the family come to the palace in a few days, and I, Ama, I want to see him." Tong Guifei eased her breath, stared at Qinglian again, and said angrily, "You are going to Cining The palace report didn't stop me, but as a daughter, I can't meet my family, can I?"

Qinglian saw that the anger hurt her, so she could only listen and suffer. Fortunately, she understood her temper, and also knew her pity, so she would not accumulate resentment. Afterwards, she did not go to Ningshou Palace, but went back to Chengqian Palace , but when they got to the door, they saw the door of Yonghe Palace opened not far away, eunuchs and maids came in and out holding incense cases, Concubine Tong frowned, Qinglian immediately said that she would go to inquire.

After calling other people to wait on her, Qing Lian came to Yonghe Palace by herself, and saw that it was a palace official opening the door to clean the incense table, she pulled a little palace lady over and asked, "It's the first day of the new year, why are you cleaning up?"

The court lady hurriedly said: "I just swept the incense altar and the shrine, but didn't clean the palace pavilion. I served the incense altar and invited the Buddha statue in. Director Li ordered that the Yonghe Palace will be opened this year. Come here on the first day to invite incense, for auspiciousness."

"Which master is coming to live?" Qinglian asked like this, thinking in her heart that it must be the noble person from Zhongcui Palace in the back, but the little maid said she didn't know, and said very cautiously, "Slaves don't dare to guess randomly."

After a few more gossips, Qinglian came back to report, Tong Guifei crouched on the kang with her hand stove in her arms, and heard that the Yonghe Palace was about to open to welcome the new master, she sneered and said, "Which one else can be, the one in the back?"

But Qinglian said: "Your maidservant also thinks the same way, but after thinking about it again, the Lord Long Live has to confer virtue first before becoming a noble person. The two concubines, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui, haven't lived in the East and West Six Palaces yet, maybe it's them No one is known."

Concubine Tong turned her face away in disdain, and said quietly: "Just like their elder brother made a fuss back then, they still want to enter the Six Palaces? In the future, there will always be daughters of noble families entering the palace. The emperor will make room. The emperor is willing, and I cannot agree."

Qinglian remained silent, and heard the imperial concubine muttering to herself: "How should I live my life?" She smiled wryly in her heart, what is wrong with you, my lady?

Seeing that it was about noon, the Palace of Compassion and Ning was preparing lunch, but the Empress Dowager had wine at the New Year's Eve banquet last night, and in the middle of the night, she and the empress dowagers and other concubines went to the Yinghua Hall to offer incense and worship Buddha. After sleeping for a few hours, she got up to dress , I went up to the city tower early in the morning with the wind blowing, after all I am old, after such a toss, although I am in good spirits, I can't bear the fatigue of the body, and when I come back, I don't want to move. Lan Qi knelt on the couch to loosen her muscles and bones, squeeze Her ten fingers were limp, and the Empress Dowager fell asleep peacefully, not wanting to wake up for a while.

"The nobleman goes to eat first, and the servants are here to watch. The master had a lot of breakfast, and he didn't eat less last night. If you are not afraid of a hungry meal, it is better to sleep soundly." Madam Su Ma came Persuading Lan Qi to go to lunch, saying that there was a banquet in the little elder brother's house, Lan Qi did not shirk, and came directly, and the wet nurse hugged Yin Zhen to greet her, she waved her hand and said, "The fingers are so soft, I'm afraid I can't even hold the chopsticks, so you guys hold it."

In this way, Lan Qi sat cross-legged on the hot kang, and brought some favorite dishes on the kang table, and the wet nurse sat opposite with Yinzhen in her arms. Liu Liu stared at Er Niang, not sure if she recognized her, but she didn't always frown when she was born, now she loves to smile when she sees Lan Qi.

"Would you like to try it?" There was wine in front of Lan Qi, the Horqin Borjiji Te Department rushed to send the kumiss, which was the favorite wine of the Empress Dowager, and Xuan Ye always asked the grassland to send things over these years There are fresh ones every now and then, in order to relieve her grandmother's nostalgia. Lan Qi eats and drinks with her. She also likes this kumiss. Now she dips her chopsticks and brings it to her son's mouth. The empress dowager found out, and she wanted to scold her slaves."

Lan Qi became playful, and forced her son to lick the chopsticks. Yinzhen smacked his lips and looked at Lan Qi longingly. His small mouth was gurgling, as if he wanted to try it again. Lan Qi smiled and asked again. Send it off, but the nurse refused, and begged, "Little elder brother is very expensive, you can drink it yourself, noble man."

"You love him more than my mother-in-law." Lan Qi didn't embarrass the nurse, knowing that she had been taking care of her son with all her heart, and she was also grateful for allowing her to feed her son a few mouthfuls of milk. Yinzhen started to babble, It seemed that they were begging for wine, and the maids and mothers came to laugh, but the little prince was made to cry, and the wet nurse hugged and coaxed him for a long time, but Lan Qi's hands were weak, even trembling with chopsticks, so she didn't follow.

After the wet nurse coaxed Yinzhen well, she let the other nuns take care of her, and came back to salute Lan Qi. Lan Qi asked her to sit and talk. Seeing that there was no one around, the wet nurse said to her, "Slaves shouldn't be too busy." Mind your own business, but the servant is taking care of the little elder brother personally, so I can't understand it better. Don't be unhappy when you hear this, noble man."

Lan Qi put down her chopsticks, rubbed her hands and said, "What's the matter, why am I upset?"

The nurse said respectfully: "My little elder brother often cries at night recently. When my little elder brother cries, the lights on the other side of the main hall will be turned on. The empress dowager will come here occasionally. If she doesn't come, she will send someone to ask Asking, the servant thought, if you always disturb the Empress Dowager to sleep at night, it may not be good after a long time, the Empress Dowager is quite old."

Lan Qi frowned. She didn't expect the nurse to be so careful. This nurse was chosen by Madam Su Mala. She was indeed a good person. I was worried about what she said, but because I didn't live in the Palace of Compassion, I couldn't hear her. The sound of crying was unexpected, the baby was neither light nor heavy, it was heart-piercing when it was crying, it was fine if it was coaxed well, if it couldn't be coaxed for half an hour or an hour, it would still cry well, her heart suddenly felt heavy, No wonder the Empress Dowager always feels lazy during the day.

"My servant knows that if my little elder brother is not in the Compassionate Ning Palace, I will go back to my elder brother's place in the future, and you will not be able to see him every day." The wet nurse lowered her eyes and said tremblingly, "But I have lived in the Compassionate Ning Palace for a long time. , the empress dowager can't sleep well, and sooner or later she will be criticized by others. If you can trust your slaves, why don't you let the little elder brother go to the elder brother's house, the slaves will do their best to take care of you, and don't let the little elder brother be pointed at by others, you People also made irresponsible remarks."

Lan Qi was filled with emotion: "You treat him like your own son."

The nurse panicked: "I don't dare, how dare I treat the prince as my own son? I think that since I have served the young master, I must be loyal for the rest of my life. Now that the young master can't speak, the slave will replace him." Take a good look at what's around you."

"Your child outside the palace, I will send more people to take care of it, and the little brother will leave it to you." Lan Qi took the nurse's hand, and slid the golden bracelet on her wrist into her wrist, He said sincerely, "I will go and answer the call. After the new year, let the little elder brother go to the elder brother's place. You are right. When the empress dowager is tired and sick, then what you say will be different. I didn't The so-called, you can go to see it even if you ask for an order from time to time, the empress dowager's body is more important. You are a careful person, and I can rest assured that you follow the little elder brother."

The wet nurse hurriedly left her seat and kowtowed, swearing allegiance to the little prince, Lan Qi called her up and wanted to give her a glass of kumiss, the wet nurse pushed her hands and smiled: "This servant wants to nurse my little brother, wine is absolutely unacceptable. "

While talking, there was movement outside, thinking that someone came to pay New Year's greetings, so Lan Qi told the nurse again: "These days, the empresses in the palace and the Fujin outside the palace will come here, and it is inevitable that people who walk around come and have a look. I want to come to the Empress Dowager I won’t let anyone come over, but they can’t stop them from walking around by themselves, so you should watch the door tightly and don’t let people walk in randomly. Where did it come from, with the wind and dust, I'm afraid the little elder brother will get sick."

The wet nurse was very alert, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Your servant knows."

Lan Qi drank a few mouthfuls of a bowl of yellow rice porridge, rinsed her mouth and washed her hands, took off her makeup, and went to the front to support her. Sure enough, several princes Fujin came, but the Empress Dowager hadn't gotten up yet. I was talking in the side hall, and then the Empress Dowager got up, and more and more people came and went to celebrate the New Year outside. The old man was tired and didn't want to see each other, so I let the nanny and her stand in front, and I was so busy drinking tea this afternoon. No time.

This was the case for a few days in a row at the beginning of the year, except for the days when Xuan Ye came to pay his respects, the two of them had little time to see each other. The emperor was in Chengqian Palace these days, and every night when the nobles returned to Zhongcui Palace tiredly, they would hear The melodious sound of the piano will remind her of what Xuan Ye said, contradictory and curious about how Xuan Ye and Concubine Tong get along.But because he was too tired, he often fell asleep and fell asleep, so he didn't have other thoughts.

It's just that after the third year of junior high school, the emperor moved to Xianfu Palace to live for a few days, and when she didn't hear the sound of the piano from Chengqian Palace, she would think of Lu Zhu who said that Concubine Tong Gui didn't like playing the piano at all.

Until the seventh day and the eighth day of the lunar new year, the number of people coming and going in the palace gradually decreased, and finally the nobleman had not had a good meal with the nobleman Duanbibu. The three of them got together that day, and soon Concubine Rong led Elder Brother When the princess came, the Zhongcui Palace finally celebrated the new year, and several children were chattering lively in the hall.

The four of them had dinner and were playing cards. The little eunuch Rong Concubine stayed in the palace came to report that Elder Wan Mo was dying. Sooner or later this day will come, the imperial doctor said that in a few days, this child has been through for a long time.

"Are you going?" Bu Guiren asked, lowering his eyes and said, "It's the New Year's Eve, I'm afraid this matter can't be handled in a big way."

"I can't make a fuss." Concubine Rong sighed, pushed the cards in her hand, got up and smoothed her clothes, "I want to be idle for a few more days, it's all because I was idle for too long, now I don't have a moment of idle time. "

Lan Qi was listening on the side, remembering what Xuan Ye had said, and also remembering that she promised to study hard, but she still didn't know how to deal with weddings and funerals in the palace, so she said she would go with her. Concubine Duan said that she was afraid of feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to go. Concubine Rong couldn't talk alone, and it would be nice if someone was around, so she asked Lan Qi to follow.

The two rushed over in separate soft sedan chairs, before entering the door, they saw two sedan chairs parked outside, Concubine Rong recognized one as belonging to Concubine Hui's, and another sedan chair was unfamiliar to her, she didn't realize until she entered the door that it was Yi The concubine has arrived.Lan Qi remembered that when she followed Concubine Duan to Elder Brother's place last time, Concubine Yi arrived first, and when she came back here, she came early again, and when she met Concubine Hui, she heard Concubine Hui smile meaningfully: "Sister Yi Concubine is here! At the earliest, we will have to be more diligent in the future."

Concubine Yi over there was dragging Nala Chang, who was crying to death, but she didn't hear those words. Concubine Rong led Lan Qi over and asked how it was. Can't make it through tonight.

But I listened to Yipin's persuasion: "If you can't keep this, you still have to worry about what's in your stomach. You're about to give birth, so it's not good to cry any longer."

Concubine Rong also persuaded her a few words, and took Lan Qi out to sit. Concubine Hui leaned next to her and said softly, "This Nala family can be troublesome. I heard that after Wan Fu sent her back, she didn't care at all. Waiting for the child to die, seeing that we are here, we are crying and pretending to be pitiful."

Concubine Rong also said angrily: "The child is pitiful, and I feel sorry for it. It's annoying to kiss the mother's inconspicuousness. Let's wait until the child is gone, so I can go to answer the phone, and we can't make a fuss during the New Year's Eve." , it’s just that the boss is sad for a while.”

Seeing her expression, Concubine Hui knew that she had lost many children, and had experienced countless times of human relationships, and now she has a heart of stone. Thinking about how she said the words "dead lips and cold teeth" to Aunt Su Mala in the early years, at that time Mammy persuaded herself that there is nothing to be afraid of when Elder Brother is around, but that time Elder Brother was almost taken away by Chengqian Palace, and he tried his best to snatch it back, but he was humiliated in front of the Emperor, what Mammy persuaded was wrong, These women, their luck is high and their luck is low, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, and they have been like this for a lifetime.

Elder brother Wan Fu didn't leave for a while, Nala was crying all the time, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong were impatient, but Concubine Yi, who had never seen them, was there to support her attentively, asking the imperial physician from time to time, and concubine Rong from time to time He came out to discuss with them again. It is said that Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui are still in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Wen are noble, but they just yell and ask a few questions to make up the number when they are free, but Concubine Yi never touches their hands Regarding the matter of the Sixth Palace, but recently everything has been rushed to the forefront. The two sisters in Yikun Palace, one in charge of confinement and the other in charge, unknowingly took some face in this palace.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Rong knew it in their hearts, and they didn't say anything. When she went in to persuade Nala again, Concubine Hui said quietly: "The Mingzhu Mansion came to pay New Year's greetings that day, and told me that the case in Prince Gong's Mansion was investigated. There are some eyebrows, and the finger is pointed at Fujin." As he spoke, he glanced at Lan Qi next to him, and said to her, "Last time, Prince Gong's residence Fujin didn't give you face, but now her own face, the whole family will respect you." The compensation will follow, the case has not been settled yet, it seems to be waiting for the two palaces to nod."

Lan Qi was flustered when she heard that, and at that moment she was thinking wildly, thinking that it was not normal for a room full of nurses and girls to be suffocated to death, she thought it was someone's manipulation, at the time she wondered if it might be the vicious Fujin Fujin, but then she felt that a Why is this woman so vicious? Didn't expect to find out the truth now, it's really Fujin?

"It is said that the nanny and girl took the drug, and then blocked the window tightly and burned charcoal. After burning all night, ten cows would suffocate to death, let alone a few women and children, and usually the two little princesses don't know each other. Living together, that night Fujin insisted that he wanted to serve the prince or something, and rushed to let the two girls live in the same room." Concubine Hui said clearly, people in Mingzhu Mansion often come and go, and Mingzhu is in the court again, these things She is indeed well-informed, not as good as Concubine Rong and Concubine Duancong, whose families are small and small, so she can't inquire about these things at all.

Just as they were talking vigorously, they suddenly heard Nalachang screaming, followed by crying inside, all three of them felt their hearts tighten, and rushed in to see that Wan Fu was already out of breath.

The three of them are all mothers, so they couldn't help weeping, but Nala Changzai had passed out, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, thinking that she had a nine-month-old belly, so she didn't dare to neglect her, and carried her to another room Li Zhaofu, someone here should handle Wan Fu's funeral.

The palace had known for a long time that elder brother Wanfu was only a few days old, and all the answers were prepared, just because the New Year's Eve was a low-key time, and after this was dealt with here, several people split up and went to the higher-ups to reply, before Concubine Rong could speak. Concubine Yi said first: "I'll go back to Yikun Palace on the way, I'll go to Qianqing Palace to talk about it, but the emperor is meeting some ministers, I'd better tell Eunuch Li first."

As she said that, she went outside, as if rushing to confess to the emperor, Lan Qi didn't feel uncomfortable, Concubine Hui had already muttered: "I underestimated her, the little girl who used to be so carefree and open-minded, has a long-term mind." .”

This sentence was said very softly, and Lan Qi didn't hear it clearly, so she heard Concubine Rong say that she was going to the Queen Mother's place, Concubine Hui didn't want to go to Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace to reply, and rushed to the Palace of Compassion Ning, the two Everyone left in a hurry, and Huanchun who followed said, "I heard that Mrs. Tong and others are sitting in Chengqian Palace this afternoon. It's meaningless for us to talk about it in the past. Why don't we go to Xianfu Palace to report first, Chengqian Palace is right here?" In front of the door, don't be in a hurry, the imperial concubine should not care about the order of things like this."

Lan Qi can't help it, she is the one who wants to follow, although she has learned some skills in red and white affairs, but more importantly, she has seen the warmth and coldness of human relationships, so she asked Huanchun to reward Nala Chang Zai with the broken silver she brought with her. I asked them to take good care of them, so I left and went to Xianfu Palace. After all, Concubine Wen asked her to sit there all the time, but I didn’t seem to have been there since Concubine Wen went to greet An and salute when she first entered the palace. up.

As the sedan chair warmed up and walked leisurely, Lan Qi was still thinking about the crying sound of elder brother Wan Fu just now, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart, her little life was just gone, thinking of Xuan Ye's melancholy, she was full of anticipation for her own child Can grow up healthy and healthy.

I was troubled when I suddenly heard the sound of cursing. It is rare to hear such scolding in the New Year's Eve, and my sedan chair stopped and started again. I suddenly remembered the misunderstanding with Nala last time. After a while, she called out to Huan Chun who was outside the sedan chair: "Stop, stop, who is arguing?"
