Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Huanchun supported Lan Qi, and felt a slight tremor on the master's body. At that moment, Qinglian just let go of her hand and went with the noble concubine, otherwise she would have held on firmly, but she couldn't hold back even if Qinglian let go of her hand. , Huan Chun asked softly in her ear: "Master?"

When Lan Qi heard this, she nodded silently, walked a few steps forward, and watched Xuan Ye pick up Yinzhen, the little guy was a little fatter than before, the last time Lan Qi saw him was the day when she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask for mercy , At that time, she was already babbling and able to make a sound of "mommy mother". Now she is approaching step by step, wondering if the child will recognize her.

"Your Majesty, isn't our Yinzhen very capable? The mothers said that it is very good to be able to walk like this at the age of one. That day, she was carried to the Cining Palace. Mother Su Mala said that the emperor could only walk when you were one and a half years old. Your son is better than you." Ma is much stronger." The imperial concubine spoke coquettishly, her eyes rolled, chattering around Xuan Ye and the child, but Lan Qi was about to get closer when the imperial concubine suddenly stood in front of her, seeming to deliberately separate her from Xuan Ye's child.

Qinglian beside her was clever, and said with a busy smile, "Your Majesty, come into the house quickly, the Empress Debi is pregnant, and she has been working hard outside for a long time."

Xuan Ye held the child in his arms, looked over the concubine's shoulder, saw her face was tense, couldn't help frowning, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and walked in through the door with Yinzhen in her arms. The concubine followed immediately, but when she reached the door He suddenly stopped before, turned around and said to Huanchun: "Good life to help your master, the child in her belly is Jingui, today is a good day for our fourth elder brother, don't make any troubles."

Lan Qi bowed her head and said nothing, Huan Chun repeatedly agreed, and only waited for the noble concubine to enter the door before helping the master to move forward. When she crossed the high threshold, Lan Qi's legs went limp and she almost fell, but fortunately Huan Chun held her firmly , anxiously reminded her in her ear: "Master, please be well."

"I know." Lan Qi nodded, and after standing firmly, she walked back into the hall.

There was already a table set up in the hall, Xuan Ye hugged his son in the upper seat, Yinzhen didn't know what to take, Xuan Ye couldn't do it, the little guy started crying, the imperial concubine quickly took it and hugged it, pointed to the things on the table and asked Yinzhen wouldn't say what he wanted, he could only stretch out his hand, and the imperial concubine patiently handed it to him one by one, and he was satisfied when he got the steamed longevity peach buns, he squeezed them in his hands and used them as toys make.

Lan Qi sat opposite, every time the imperial concubine took something, she felt a shock in her heart, wishing to reach out to pass it, but she couldn't do this, the imperial concubine asked her to come today, just to see clearly, who is the fourth elder brother's now Amount of mother.

Concubine Tong hugged the fourth elder brother and shook it, while asking Qinglian to toast the emperor, she smiled unceremoniously and said that she couldn't move her hands, please don't be offended by Xuanye, and said to herself: "The emperor will open it next year. He is erudite and Confucian, but we need to look for a few talents, our fourth elder brother will grow up in no time, and we are waiting to study with a good master."

Xuan Ye glanced at her: "You are too anxious."

"Where is the concubine in a hurry, three years and five years are just a blink of an eye, when the concubine entered the palace, the eldest elder brother was still a little boy, and concubine Hui brought him to pay his respects that day, and he is already an older child." Concubine Tong said She finally hugged the child to the nurse, Lan Qi couldn't help but follow the child away, and heard the imperial concubine cough, she hurried back, and she saw Tong Guifei glaring at her before continuing, "Although I dare not compare Prince, but our Yinzhen must be the smartest among the other brothers, the emperor must cultivate it well in the future."

"You haven't had any wine yet, so that's all you talk about." Xuan Ye replied lazily, "Of course my sons are smart, and you don't need to worry about Fu Nianshu. Neither Concubine Rong nor Concubine Hui are like this, you Er Niang is really fresh."

Lan Qi's heart twitched, and when she heard the word "Er Niang", she couldn't bear it any longer.

The noble concubine poured wine to respect the emperor herself. Seeing Xuan Ye drank it, she smiled and said: "You are not dedicated to being a mother, do you still count on others? The emperor takes care of everything every day. In a few days, the Yi concubine and the de concubine will be born again. Brothers and brothers Duo, can you take care of it? Naturally, a mother should take more care, and it is also the responsibility of a mother to teach her son well. Although the concubine's words are not pleasant, but it is true, do you think this is the case?"

Lan Qi listened to each word, and involuntarily grabbed the wine in front of her. She raised her hand to drink when she heard the imperial concubine call out: "Concubine De, you can't drink your wine. How can you drink when you're pregnant? Put it there. In response to the scene, who told you to drink?" He called Qinglian, "Hurry up and serve honey tea to Empress Debi."

Lan Qi had no choice but to put down the wine glass, Qing Lian brought in a cup of honey tea, and served De Concubine courteously, the atmosphere on the table was awkward and depressing, just waiting for Yinzhen's clear babbling sound to suddenly break the dullness, everyone followed the sound to watch , he staggered and was supported by the wet nurse, and walked step by step from the side. The wet nurse smiled and coaxed: "Where is the fourth elder brother going?"

But Yinzhen stopped, not knowing whether it was because he was struggling to walk, or because he was looking at the people at the table, he suddenly laughed happily, his eyes squeezed into slits, he babbled and danced happily, and then walked forward again, nurse It's just a support, he is completely up to him where to go, this step is actually heading towards the direction where the concubine is sitting, Yinzhen's round eyes are shining brightly, and he hums "Nurse mother" in his mouth , I don't know if they are screaming indiscriminately, or they want to call someone.

Lan Qi almost got up and rushed over, the imperial concubine suddenly got up and left her seat, hurried over to hug Yinzhen, the little guy froze for a while, then closed his mouth, seeing that he was carried away again, he could not help but grinning and crying loudly, The cries sounded like he was wronged, the imperial concubine hurriedly carried him to another room.

Only Xuan Ye and Lan Qi were left on the table, both of them stared at this scene in a daze, the emperor was the first to slow down, but he raised his hand and knocked down the wine glass next to him, and the bright red wine juice spilled all over the table, a palace maid hurriedly came Wipe it, but luckily it didn't stain the emperor's dragon robe, and it had been tidied up before the imperial concubine came back.

Lan Qi watched the palace maid busy without looking at Xuan Ye's face, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't dare.God knows how many sharp arrows will be shot from those beautiful eyes to pierce her heart. Just sitting like this, he can already feel the steaming anger over there. After all, he is still blaming himself.

A year later, Lan Qi couldn't remember the pain of giving birth, but her flesh and blood belonged to her, and she couldn't touch it in front of her. The pain of childbirth was nothing compared to this moment, but no matter how painful it was, she still had to bear it. The pain in her heart was better than letting her son be hurt and threatened.

"Child..." Xuan Ye just opened his mouth, and the beautiful figure in front of the door floated in again. The imperial concubine came in with a big smile and said, "Si elder brother is usually very obedient, and I must be excited to see Huang Ama today."

The emperor seemed to be about to say something to Lan Qi, but after the imperial concubine interrupted him, he continued: "My child, you have been raised very well. I thought you were young, so you are not as stable as Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan. Seeing that you are handy, I'm relieved too."

The imperial concubine sat down and poured a glass of wine, a blush flew to her cheeks, her face became more beautiful and charming, she held the wine glass with her slender fingers, poured wine in her own glass and handed it to Xuan Ye, the confident and proud words came from Floating from her red lips: "Of course my child must be raised with all my heart, and it's also right for a concubine to be handy. Don't let the emperor hold on..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a bang, and something fell outside the door. Everyone was startled, and a palace lady came to report that she was about to enter the hot pot, but the palace lady missed and fell. Before the emperor could forgive her, the noble concubine had already Said: "It's a good sign that you are safe every year. Which palace lady fell, give her money to see if she is burned, don't blame."

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, if the noble concubine would definitely make trouble, fortunately today is the fourth elder brother's birthday, and the emperor is in front of her, so she had to act magnanimous no matter what, and she was praised by the emperor, saying that she has a much better temper .

As for the banquet, the three of them sat opposite each other, and it was boring to eat for a long time. Lan Qi hardly moved because of her poor appetite. The green lotus dishes in front of her were almost piled up. After persuading the emperor to drink more, he only listened to the imperial concubine keep talking about how the fourth elder brother was doing.

Lan Qi's ears were already buzzing, she didn't know how much Xuan Ye heard, she just waited for a eunuch to report that it was an auspicious time to ask the emperor and noble concubine to move to see the little elder brother catch Zhou, Xuan Ye asked what to do, The noble concubine smiled happily: "I heard that Han people pay attention to this, and the concubine also wants to have fun. If the emperor doesn't like it, that's fine. The concubine just finds it interesting and wants to test the child's future."

"It's up to you." Xuan Ye had no objection.

After rinsing their mouths and washing their hands, the three of them were crowded towards the fourth elder brother's room. When they entered the door, they saw that many objects had been placed on the thick animal skin carpet, including scriptures, pens and inks, abacus ingots, toys and food, strings of agarwood beads and Short knives, daggers, etc. In short, no matter what you take, there will be auspicious words, but it is just a lively thing, Xuan Ye is also a little interested, and wants to remove the small seal with him, and let Eunuch Li put it over.

"Long live Lord." Eunuch Li is very shrewd, knowing that the imperial seal is not suitable, the emperor probably didn't think about it for a while, so he had the responsibility to remind him, and said with a smile, "In the old year of Wanshou, the empress dowager rewarded you with a piece of red field Shoushan stone. Before the seal was opened, you said that you would take it with you to play with, to gain some popularity, and then open it after you get a good word, the servant will always serve you."

As he spoke, he called the accompanying eunuchs to follow. Sure enough, someone appeared with a brocade box. When he opened the brocade box, there lay a piece of natural red field stone the size of an egg. It was indeed a gift from the Empress Dowager. Xuanye usually remembered From time to time, I would take it and play with it. Because it is a rare and good stone, I have never thought about engraving any seal.

"Just use this piece. If Yinzhen takes it, I will give it to him. When he grows up, we will see what kind of stamps to engrave." Xuan Ye happily took the Shoushan Stone and played with it a few times, then put it in a pile of things, Buried inconspicuously in a few purses, then stepped aside and looked up at Lan Qi again, but she seemed to turn a blind eye to the things on the ground, just staring at the child in the nurse's arms over there, Xuan Ye felt a pang in his heart. Shen, became unhappy again.

The imperial concubine was only focused on the child, and didn't care about these small things. She went to hold the fourth elder brother herself, put him on the ground, and coaxed softly: "Xinzhen is good, take what you like." She also called the wet nurse, "Go over Lead me, and coax the fourth elder brother over."

The hall was lively for a while, and the nurses were shaking the cloth tigers and rattles that the fourth elder brother liked, making loud noises to attract the children. With so many things in front of him, not only was he not excited, but he sat down and did not move. The nurses hurriedly coaxed him, and then he slowly got up, pouted and looked at the things in front of him, pushing and pushing the switch Well, a few purses spread out, revealing the Shoushan Stone, which was as big as an egg in the child's hand. He reached out and touched it with one hand, and then picked up the stone with two hands. I didn't see who I was going to give it to, but the nurse hurried over to it, and the maid next to me took the red silk bag and brought it to the emperor.

The noble concubine was so happy, she listened proudly to the flattery and praise from the people around her, but Xuan Ye was not too surprised, she just smiled and said: "When he grows up and leaves the palace, he will use this Shoushan stone as a seal, You take it for your son first."

The imperial concubine quickly agreed, bowed her knees and saluted, and thanked her father, Huang Long, for the fourth elder brother. Lan Qi was also supported by Huan Chun to salute together. Xuan Ye saw it, but felt depressed for no reason.

The wet nurse also hugged the fourth elder brother to thank her, and Yinzhen fell on her shoulders. When Lan Qi got up, she happened to meet her son's eyes. The little guy smiled at his mother. Taking a look, the imperial concubine's back stood in front of her again, and only the glittering and translucent hairpins on the back of her bun and the luxurious and exquisite robes on her back could be seen. Lan Qi's eyes were brighter, and they were gloomy again.

"I'm still busy in the afternoon, so I can't stay for long." Xuan Ye got up to leave, and even told him, "When he wakes up for an afternoon nap, you take him to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to salute. I know you love your child, so don't be ignorant of the rules in the palace. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager also like to see their grandchildren, what are you always doing hiding in the house?"

The noble concubine agreed with a grin, even though she was unhappy in her heart, she did not reveal it, and while she was about to send the emperor out, she said to Lan Qi: "Concubine De, go back and rest, I don't have time to greet you here."

Lan Qifu, who is known as the name, followed behind, and when Xuan Ye was promoted to the front door, the noble concubine seemed to want Xuan Ye to hear her, and told her loudly: "Since the emperor asked me to take care of the fourth elder brother, the concubine de Don’t think about it anymore, I miss you. It was not easy to give birth in the past, and I just want you to join in the fun today, but I will never have anything to do with you. There are many people out there who talk badly, and even small things can make trouble The whole city will be full of wind and rain, for the good of the fourth elder brother, and also for the good of De Concubine yourself, in the future, people before and after will speak and do things properly, I am the mother of the fourth elder brother, and I will not allow anyone to rub sand in the eyes of the fourth elder brother."

Concubine Tong is now the dominant concubine in the Six Palaces, and it is one of her responsibilities to teach concubines. Even if these words are uncomfortable for Lan Qi and Xuan Ye to hear at the moment, the emperor can't blame her for being troubled, but she listened expressionlessly and moved. Move your finger to signal to start driving.

Eunuch Li hurriedly asked people to raise their shoulders and left. When he left, he turned around and glanced at the noble concubine and concubine De, sighed helplessly in his heart, and immediately followed the team.

After the noble concubine finished speaking, she saw that the emperor didn't say a word, she became more confident and complacent. After watching Xuan Ye go away, she immediately ordered the palace servants to go back. The gate of Chengqian Palace was closed with a rumble, and Lan Qi stood in the wind, listening to the rumble, Seeing the emperor's back disappearing from his eyes, his head was blank, and he had no idea where he was.

"Master, let's go back." Huan Chun was very distressed, and supported her to move, Lan Qi wobbled as if she was about to fall, but she quickly stood upright, took a deep breath, and took steady steps towards Yonghe Palace go.

Go back to Yonghe Palace, go up the steps, cross the threshold, and then go down the steps to the main hall. The person who was still stable outside the door suddenly fell down. She just fell down, and only when they sat on the steps, they waved their hands and said, "I'll just sit for a while."

Everyone persuaded: "Master, the stone steps are too cold..."

"Just for a while." Lan Qi seemed to be holding her breath, and she said these four words again, tears burst into tears, but she tossed herself not to let her cry, and her breath was so heavy that Yukui and the others couldn't hold it anymore Following the tears, Huanchun was even more helpless, for fear that she would move her fetus when she was sitting cold.

"Ma'am, let's go back to the house." Lu Zhu and the others persuaded again, but Lan Qi just refused to move, and she stood up again as if she was exhausted. The people who came in from behind stretched out their hands to cover their mouths in fright, but the people who came in waved their hands to silence them.

Huanchun hurriedly pushed Luzhu and the others, motioned them to look back, then quietly pulled everyone who was also surprised, and walked away from the side. On the wide stone steps in front of the door, only crying Wu Yalanqi, who was silent, seemed to gradually calm down after she vented, but she didn't realize that Xuan Ye was standing there behind her.

Not long after Yu Jia left Chengqian Palace, he turned around the door and walked not far away. The sound of the gate closing of Chengqian Palace seemed to be still lingering in his ears. Eunuch Li suddenly heard the emperor shouting to stop. Seeing the emperor walking back, Eunuch Li signaled everyone to stay where they were, and he followed far behind. He was relieved only to see the emperor going to the Yonghe Palace, and asked the people behind to be ready at any time. There were two people waiting outside.

At this moment Xuan Ye was standing on the threshold, his delicate back trembling under the stone steps, he couldn't hear her crying, but the tears seemed to flow into his heart, salty and soggy, so painful, he walked over step by step, Kneeling down to support her, the person in front of him trembled suddenly, and it came from his palm, which broke Xuan Ye's heart.

"Why, you don't believe me?"

When Lan Qi was sad, her body was supported by a familiar force, and she heard her favorite voice again, she looked back at the crying face in a daze, and saw Xuan Ye's distressed face, everything in her heart suddenly disappeared. Collapsing, leaning against his shoulder, his body twitched more violently.

"You once said that I can carry the country, and I'm not afraid to take the blame once, why don't you believe it now? Could it be that I can guard the vast country, but I can't guard my wife and children." Xuan Ye asked loudly, but in him In my heart, the answer already exists.

"This time you hurt me, why did I come to coax you?"

"If you open your mouth, I will immediately bring Yinzhen back. No one will be able to take your child away, and no one will be able to hurt our child again."

Xuan Ye finished speaking one sentence at a time, gently pushed the person in his arms away, and asked her solemnly: "I will go to Chengqian Palace now and bring him back, do you not believe me?"

She shook her head, the hairpins on her bun were loosened, but she managed to say a word, but said: "The concubine doesn't want Si elder brother, don't want Si elder brother..."

Xuan Ye's face was gloomy, she suddenly let go of her shoulders, turned around and walked back, Lan Qi on the steps was stunned, but before she could recover, she had already stood up instinctively, a weak person just now, Actually rushing over to stop the emperor quickly, Xuan Ye was stunned by her appearance, Lan Qi stood upright in front of him, and stretched out her hand to grab the cuff.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, Lan Qi pursed her lips and stopped crying, Xuan Ye stretched out her hand to push her away for a long time, but she clenched her hands even harder, her face was flushed, Xuan Ye frowned and stared at her, Finally said: "Do you want me to stay?"

He knew that Lan Qi would not want the child back, and he also understood why she was willing to send her own flesh and blood away.She is indeed able to take care of the world, but he doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he can't control the sinister people in the corners. The person in front of him hurts his heart, and at the same time, he is more considerate of himself than anyone else. She can't say those words, Xuan Ye couldn't tell either.

On the way from the front door to the dormitory, Lan Qi was carried into the door, and after she was put down, she pulled Xuan Ye's sleeve again, Xuan Ye smiled helplessly: "I won't leave, don't always pull me like this."

Opening the Yonghe Palace, it was the first time for the emperor to visit the door. Just when he was thinking about breaking up so unhappy, he rushed to him, and he could see Xuanye's heart softened at a glance. Going away so angry, both of them are sad for this matter, and then push each other far away, I really don't know how to hurt, no matter how good the relationship is, it can't stand the toss again and again.

"If you cry again, I will definitely go and bring Yinzhen back." Seeing Lan Qi wiped her face clean, after Huan Chun and the others retreated, she was about to nestle softly in his arms, but Xuan Ye pushed her away She asked, "Are you still crying?"

"Who is crying?" Lan Qi asked back, with a smile on her brows, this was the most beautiful appearance of her in Xuan Ye's heart.

Just now she was sitting on the steps, if Xuan Ye didn't come, in fact, she would gradually recover from it, and it was only when she saw Xuan Ye that she couldn't help but feel sad, now that she is by her side, her heart is warm and stable, and her emotions are stable, so naturally it will be fine up.

"The concubine is not hypocritical. She is strong when she is strong, and she doesn't want to bear it when she can't help it." Lan Qi took a deep breath, let go of her chest convulsed by crying, looked at Xuan Ye and said, "The concubine sent the fourth elder brother to the last Good place, crying is just reluctance, no regrets and no reconciliation, the emperor should not misunderstand and don't always feel bad, people have seven emotions and six desires, and my concubines are ordinary people."

"It's really vulgar." Xuan Ye said angrily.

Lan Qi smiled cheekily: "No matter how vulgar you are, you're still likable." She threw herself on Xuan Ye's shoulder, not letting him push her away, and said softly, "You're still here."

Xuan Ye caressed her back, smelling the fragrance of her shoulders and neck made people feel at ease: "If I don't come, I can't do it, who can coax you well?"
