Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Every time the emperor comes to coax his concubine first, he then asks why the concubine doesn't go to coax you." Lan Qi leaned on Xuan Ye's body, greedily enjoying this comfort, and was willing to say something nice to make him happy. He said heartlessly, "Actually, the emperor will not return today, and the concubines will go to clean up the palace after cleaning up. It's a pity that the emperor didn't have time to wait, and let you take the lead again."

"It doesn't matter, I will leave you now and go back to Qianqing Palace to wait for you." Xuan Ye wanted to push her away, but she hugged her tightly around her neck and accidentally touched her slightly protruding belly, telling him not to dare to mess around. Move, and said in a good voice, "Hurry up and sit down, I don't love you, but also the child in your belly."

"Then the emperor won't leave?" Lan Qi still didn't let go.

"Where are you going?" Xuan Ye smiled, "It's so easy for you to move here. It's spacious and quiet. Of course, I want to make good use of it. I don't have to worry about anyone, and I don't have to embarrass you in the Qianqing Palace."

Lan Qi let go of her hands and sat down, her stomach straightened up slightly, Xuan Ye frowned and reached out to touch her lightly, "I ask the imperial doctor every day if you are well, thinking that if I feel unwell, I will have an excuse to come and see you." You, you are really uplifting, the imperial doctor said yes every day, my heart is at ease and contradictory, and the emperor's grandmother has always been worried, saying that you have worked hard to take care of her, but in the end you were negligent."

Lan Qi smiled: "The concubine eats a lot, and her body is very strong."

"Just now..." Xuanye originally wanted to say that she didn't move her chopsticks a few times in Chengqian Palace, but she didn't want to bring up those unpleasant things, so she changed her words and said, "Don't be too complacent, take care of yourself." After thinking about it for a while , and nagging her again, "It's okay, don't keep calling some people to gather, where will I sit when they come?"

Lan Qi glanced at him, lowered her head and muttered: "It doesn't matter if others come or not, anyway, the emperor will like the kind people wherever he sees them."

Xuan Ye knew what was being mentioned, and laughed at her: "Are you jealous?"

Lan Qi nodded: "It's so sour. The day before yesterday, Huanchun made dumplings to eat, and the concubines didn't need to dip them in vinegar."

"Tell the imperial grandmother to show off in front of me?" Xuan Ye laughed, pulled her to sit down together, put one arm on the shoulder, and said slowly, "I rule the world, tens of millions of people How many people have seen my appearance? Even if life is better, I am grateful for the good governance today, but I don’t even have an appearance in my mind. Who is it to thank? I know it. It’s just a memorial to report the good news but not the bad news, and what I hear are only flattering words from the ministers, after all these years, I still feel uneasy.”

Lan Qi saw that the emperor was speaking seriously, and she listened carefully, because Xuan Ye told her that even if she didn't understand, she would give him a place to talk, and she must have remembered this sentence when she rushed out to stop the emperor just now That's it.

"Whether it's the tens of millions of ordinary people or the majestic and majestic country, I can't see it or touch it, but I still try my best to protect it day and night. Could it be that the wives and children around me can't be well protected?" Xuan Ye sneered, "I think it's ridiculous when I think about it. There seems to be an empty space in my heart, and I can't fill it up."

Lan Qi unconsciously said: "The Empress Dowager said that this is the loneliness of the emperor."

Xuan Ye looked at her suddenly, and Lan Qi also came back to her senses, she hurriedly smiled and tried to escape: "The emperor continued." But she nodded seriously, "That's right, I think so too. The emperor's grandmother sees all of this It’s clear, but you and I still have to explore slowly.”

"The concubine sent the fourth elder brother to Chengqian Palace, not to make you sad and lonely." Lan Qi held Xuan Ye's hand with both hands, "The concubine is no longer worried about others serving the empress dowager, and will be jealous of others serving the emperor. I am even more worried that my fourth elder brother will be plotted by someone again. Since I can’t cover everything, I have to let go of some things. It’s cold-blooded to send away your own flesh and blood. You can coax me to cry now, but if you really lose him one day because of this, I’m afraid you will also lose him. It’s not good to coax. Instead of worrying about possible tragedies all day long, it’s better not to let tragedies happen at all. Your Majesty and my concubines think so, and they are willing to send Si elder brother away.”

"But when I saw you crying..."

Lan Qi said without any scruples: "The concubine did this on purpose today, and the concubine's heart is not hardened, of course I can't help it. If you don't believe me, ask Huanchun, the concubine is really much better, not like the outsiders said So painful."

Xuan Ye smiled wryly: "You are not sad, I am just fine." Then he explained, "The concubine's temper is like that, she didn't know that it was you who wanted to send the fourth elder brother, and thought that it was I who agreed to Tong Guowei's request to send the fourth elder brother. I'm afraid that you will go back, so it's understandable to deliberately express my defense like this. For the sake of her love for Yinzhen, forget it."

Lan Qi nodded again and again, she has always understood the relationship between the emperor and the imperial concubine, whether it is politics or feelings, she just guards the happiness of herself and Xuan Ye, watching other people's way to go her own way, being jealous is acting coquettishly, but in her heart I have never experienced injustice or jealousy, and it is not because of this kind of heart that I have been able to step up to the present and receive the love and favor of the two palaces.

The two had a long talk, and they both confided their thoughts to each other. The mood that had been gloomy for a whole month dissipated, and God seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The snow did not come at the beginning of this year, and it finally snowed tonight. Xuan Ye set off from Yonghe Palace the next day When going to court, the snow on the road was above the ankles, and everyone went straight to the auspicious snow, a sign of a good year.

For several days after that, the emperor stayed in Yonghe Palace, and all the people in the harem who craned their necks to watch the scene for a month all left the show angrily.Some people say that the noble concubine contributed to the good deeds, in order to thank the emperor for sending her fourth elder brother, and some people say that the concubine de concubine will be favored by the emperor. The conflict between the Qian Palace and the Yonghe Palace, now one is guarding the child, the other is conceiving, the two people who are most at the forefront are living in peace.

In a blink of an eye, the twelfth lunar month is just around the corner. This day Concubine Hui came to sit in Yikun Palace. After Jue Chan agreed to come and say a few words to please An, Guo Guiren sent her away in disgust. Concubine Yi leaned on the bed with her huge belly Recently, it was more and more difficult to breathe, and he said gruffly: "Sister Hui concubine also teaches my younger sister for me, it's not good for her to always be like this."

Concubine Hui didn't say anything, but after Guo Guiren refuted a few words, he left unhappily to see the little princess, leaving Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi behind. Now, no one else was here at the moment, so I said: "It turns out that Concubine De is pregnant, and because of the matter of the fourth elder brother, she and the emperor are unhappy, and want to send the newcomer to serve the emperor, but I didn't expect the emperor to stay in Yonghe The palace is not leaving, De Concubine is really lucky, I just watched her walk up to my shoulders step by step, the person who used to grovel in front of me, but now I come to tell her, everyone is the same .”

Yipin snorted, with contempt and disdain in the corners of her eyes, "I really don't know if the emperor can keep it, or if she is willing to let go and dare to serve with her belly up."

Concubine Hui raised her brows and smiled, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're not ashamed."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Yi Pin lowered her voice, "Your Majesty is full of blood, so if he guards her all these days, he won't be emotional? God knows what's going on, she doesn't have the slightest bit of flirtatiousness? I don't believe it."

Concubine Hui twirled half a piece of greasy dim sum in her hand, lowered her eyebrows and said, "If that's the case, the one in your backyard is the most useful. It looks so good-looking, but the emperor hasn't looked at it carefully yet."

Yipin's stomach was uncomfortable, she took a breath and said: "Sister, let's wait a bit, the matter of attracting the nobleman hasn't passed the limelight yet."

These words made Concubine Hui tense all over, and said angrily: "What does it have to do with us? There is no serious statement in the palace. She was crushed to death by the earthquake, and that incident was just rumors."

"Are we still playing sloppy?" Concubine Yi was disdainful, and when she saw a court lady outside to exchange tea, she stopped for a while, and then continued after she left, "Well, even if a nobleman is crushed to death, he can't be mourned casually, just let it go like this, It’s impossible that nothing happened, the higher-ups don’t say anything, they just feel ugly, not to mention the person is dead, if he didn’t die, maybe how to investigate.”

Concubine Hui's face turned pale, and she was stunned for a long time before she recovered: "Okay, we just need to know what to do, so we don't have to cause trouble."

However, Yi Concubine came up with a sentence: "Eldest Elder Brother was originally the most honorable below the Crown Prince, but now a son is as valuable as his mother, Fourth Elder Brother..."

Before he finished speaking, another person came in from outside, Yipin was annoyed and wanted to scold, but the person who came said: "Ms. Rong sent someone to invite Mrs. Hui, saying that Dai promised to be pregnant, let you go and have a look."

The two looked at each other, and after thinking about it for a long time, they remembered that Dai promised, wasn't it the Dai Jia family who was inexplicably favored by the emperor in those few days in October?In the early years, Mrs. An always said that the Zhongcui Palace raised vixen. What kind of vixen is this? It is clearly a blessed place blessed by Guanyin.

"Look, can it be prevented?" Concubine Hui threw away the snacks in her hand, asked the maid to fetch water to wash her hands, and then hurried to Zhongcui Palace, with mixed feelings in her heart, she only understood one thing, Concubine Yi didn't finish her sentence She also knows that sentence, now that the fourth elder brother is more expensive than his mother, her elder brother has already been compared.

When news of Dai's promise of pregnancy reached the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager was reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and Madam Su Mala waited until she came out before telling her. Sure enough, even the old man couldn't remember Dai's promise. She actually smiled happily: "Lan Qi is a blessed person, and the people around her are also blessed."

Mammy smiled and said, "You are too partial."

But the empress dowager said: "She is so good, I don't prefer whom she prefers? Others come to make me prefer. Is there anything good for you to choose?"

The nanny persuaded: "You can't say this to the Long Live Lord. After all, you are the people around you. There are jealousy and fights in the small family, let alone the royal family."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "You ask me why the matter of Nala's family must be checked on Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi. Just think about what happened that day. Since she knew she was pregnant, she would definitely not go to rescue Lan Qi. It doesn’t matter if I went to save myself, I must have watched her fall, but I just want me and the emperor to think of her kindness.”

"My servant feels that if this is the case, it can be said that she didn't know she was pregnant. That would make her appear to have no motive." However, after finishing speaking, the nanny remembered, and said to herself, "Master's words make sense, if you pretend not to know You have to make a mistake to invite the imperial physician, otherwise, you should invite the imperial physician for no reason, Yipin thought it through, and she probably bet that others would not think too deeply, after all, no one saw what happened at that time, Empress Depin also said she was saved."

The master and the servant were walking towards the bedroom while talking. Someone came in in front of the palace gate. It was the empress dowager who heard that Dai promised to be happy and came to congratulate the empress dowager. It happened that the empress dowager wanted to see her, and the two of them were in the hall with Su Mala. After sitting down, the Empress Dowager said: "I have something to entrust to you, and you will not be idle after that. If you make up your mind, answer me, and I won't force you if you don't want to."

The Empress Dowager laughed and said: "The empress dowager is so polite, but the concubine is muttering in her heart, did she do something bad to make you angry, you can just say anything, the concubine is free all day long, wishing to have something to do. "

"That's good, I see that no one else is suitable." The Empress Dowager's eyes were deep and a little serious, "There have always been some troubles in the palace recently, but each one seems to be neither painful nor itchy, so let's It's not easy to manage, but young concubines, it's time to beat and beat."

The Empress Dowager didn't seem to understand much, and replied blankly: "You say."

"Concubine Yi's temperament needs to be tested. I don't think she is suitable for raising a prince. The imperial doctor said that her child is probably a boy, so it is not suitable to be raised in Yikun Palace after birth." The Buddha beads in the Empress Dowager's hand slowly Turning slowly, she calmly said, "But she is still a concubine. It doesn't make sense to send the child to elder brother's place or to anyone else. It is only suitable to send the child to Ningshou Palace. After Yi concubine is born, if she is a prince, then she will be a concubine." Take it to Ningshou Palace, you will suffer a little bit, it's not easy to take baby dolls with you."

The queen mother was very happy when she heard that she could raise a child. She was widowed and childless at a young age, and the Ningshou Palace was empty and deserted. Only she knew how difficult those days were. I have always thought about it, but I dare not Mentioned, but even though she was secretly happy at the moment, she still said: "I'm afraid Yibi won't like it. I heard that she has a straight temper. If she is acting like a baby with the emperor or something, the concubines are not afraid of her making trouble, but they are afraid of making it ugly."

"I'll ask the imperial doctor to arrange for her to rest and rest, so she won't be allowed to make trouble." The Empress Dowager said indifferently, "Don't think that this is Yipin's child, just think about raising a prince for Xuanye. , you don’t need to bother about education, just raise them up.”

The queen mother took the reassurance pill, and she was more happy in her heart, but then she thought that if she gave birth to a princess, she would fail again, and she was frustrated, but she heard the queen mother said again: "If it is a princess, I will send it to you to raise, that's the deal, I It depends on Yipin's restraint here, it doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl."

This matter was settled quietly in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and Yipin didn't realize that she had lost the right to raise her own flesh and blood. She gave birth on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and gave birth to the fifth elder brother through hard work, but she still hadn't waited for her After taking a few careful glances at the child, the order from the Palace of Compassion and Ning came.

I thought it was to reward her for giving birth to a prince, but the empress dowager gave an order to send the newly born little elder brother to Ningshou Palace to be raised by the empress dowager. In her heart, after that edict, the weak Yibi didn't recover at all, and fainted before seeing the child off.

When she woke up again, everything in the delivery room was tidied up, and the previous cradle, bedding and toys were all gone, as if she hadn't been pregnant in October at all, and hadn't given birth to any children at all.

This incident was like a resolute and resolute decree, and it was quickly rumored in the palace. Concubine Hui was too frightened to go to the door to congratulate her. When Lan Qi, who was not at home, heard about it, she just told Huanchun without raising her eyebrows: "Prepare the gift." Are you ready? You will send it with Zhong Cui Palace tomorrow."
