Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"None of the palaces came to the door in person. It seemed that they were afraid that the empress Yipin would be unhappy. Jinhe had already come to deliver a message, and Zhongcui Palace only sent the maids to go there. Bu Guiren and Dai promised not to go." Huanchun said, and put the prepared The gift was shown to Lan Qi. On the day Guo Gui gave birth to a daughter, Lan Qi enthusiastically made a pair of tiger-toed shoes for her. This time, when Concubine Yi gave birth, she only sent Huan Chun to prepare.

Putting down his pen and looking up, he saw nothing wrong, but when he heard Huan Chun say that Bu Guiren and Dai promised not to go, he asked: "Sister, she is under Yi Bin after all, is it appropriate not to go in person?"

"The imperial doctor reported to the two palaces that Yipin's mother was exhausted after giving birth. If she wants to take care of her body, she needs to rest for several months. She will not be able to go out until summer next year. The empress dowager then asked the queen mother to help raise the fifth elder brother and let Yipin's mother Take good care of your health in Yikun Palace, and you can’t go out until summer, so it’s inconvenient for other masters and ladies to be guests.” Huanchun put the presents together again, and said softly, “I feel strange, I don’t know if it’s because of Yuquan Mountain. This matter, the empress dowager has shown her power."

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously, picked up the pen again and dipped it full of ink, wrote a big blessing on the red paper, and asked Huanchun with a smile: "The emperor bestows blessings on Liugong and princes and ministers every year. If you don’t dislike it, take it home and post it, are you willing? Although it was not written by Long Live himself, the paper, inkstone, pen and ink were bestowed by the emperor, and my handwriting was also taught by the emperor.”

Huanchun smiled and said: "A few days ago, Yukui hid your bad handwriting, saying that it was valuable, and was scolded by the servants. They are not happy. You are blessed with this word I should be very happy to go down, and the slaves will thank the master for their blessings on their behalf."

Lan Qi was very happy, flipped over a piece of red paper, and wrote down the round and full blessing characters, looked at it and was satisfied, then raised her head and continued: "We don't care about the things outside, and we will not care about the things in the Yonghe Palace from now on." There is no need for others to take care of it. Duan Concubine, Sister Bu and Dai promise to come and sit down whenever they want, other than that, don’t get too close. By the way, there is also Rong Concubine, who is much better than those few Yes, she is willing to come, so she is naturally a guest."

Seeing that she stopped writing, Huanchun went to fetch water to wash her hands, and said to herself: "Recently, Empress Rong and Empress Hui have not been in touch with each other very much. The birth share is better than before. People in the palace are spreading the word, and now it is He Yi. Kun Palace is close, and I can talk to Yi Pin because there is a Jue Chan who agreed to live there."

Lan Qi laughed: "Did I just say don't meddle in other people's business?"

Huan Chun said: "Of course the master must be clean, but the servant has to watch over you. Whenever you ask, the servant can speak clearly and logically."

While talking, Xiangyue happily came in with a food box in her hand, saying that it was sent by Qianqing Palace, and she didn't need the master to thank you, just let her bring it in, and said: "The one who came is the apprentice of Director Li. The date of sealing has been planned, earlier this year, it will be sealed on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and our Long Live Lord can rest for half a month."

Lan Qi was also quite looking forward to it, and thought to say: "One year is so fast, I was a little girl when I entered the palace in 12 years, and I will have a second child in a blink of an eye. Yes, I hope that I will leave the palace at the end of my year, how could she think of her daughter's life, it would be so good."

Xiangyue said: "Now that the master is the empress, you can invite your wife to the palace for the festival. Just reply from the superior. It happens that you are going to give birth in February. It would be great if you could invite your wife to help."

Lan Qi shook her head, she had thought about it a long time ago, and now she brought it up and said: "The emperor loves me, others have already gritted their teeth, I can no longer do ostentatious things, and if I lose my self-respect, I am not qualified to enjoy the blessings. Concubine Wen is here, so I have to be modest."

In a similar way, Mother Su Mala once taught Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan that after more than ten years of traveling, Concubine Rong lost her way for a while, but her deep affection is also worthy of forgiveness. Putting aside the relationship with Concubine Hui, what happened to Concubine Yi this time is a warning to everyone from the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Although some things are just rumors, everyone knows it well and dare not approach Yikun Palace for a while. He has a big temper, and others don't bother to get close to him.

Concubine Rong has been busy in Ningshou Palace for the past few days. Although the Empress Dowager is an elder in the palace, she has no children in her life and has never raised other children. It was the first time she gave her a baby, and it was a newborn baby, so she was in a hurry.Even though there was a nanny around, I felt that my eyes were dark and I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Concubine Rong came in time. She was the most experienced woman who had given birth many times. After the death of Empress Niu Hulu, she often served in Ningshou Palace. With a temper, she told the queen mother what to do, and she gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor has named the fifth elder brother Yinqi, and the names of the brothers all take the meaning of "blessing". Xuan Ye had a long discussion with Aunt Su Ma in the Palace of Compassion and Ning when they changed their name, and now everyone is happy, the children have a family name, and they look like a family of brothers, and they seem closer.

The Empress Dowager is proud of Yinqi, and the atmosphere in Ningshou Palace is no longer deserted. The crying of babies every day is more interesting to her than singing with gongs and drums. If Yinqi smiles, the Empress Dowager will be even happier. Even An was a bit disregarded, and the Empress Dowager didn't care too much, saying that it was important for her to raise children.

All the palaces and courtyards also came to Ningshou Palace to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her grandson, just as the Empress Dowager told her not to think that this is the child of Concubine Yi, but only to bring a child to the emperor. There was also a tacit understanding, everyone praised the fifth elder brother when he came, and no one mentioned Yikun Palace, let alone the child's mother-in-law. At first, the queen mother felt that Yibi was somewhat pitiful, but as time went by, she became more and more familiar with the child. He has feelings, but he doesn't even care who his mother-in-law is.

But this day Concubine Rong led Yinzhi and Rong Xian to pay her respects. The two children were played around the cradle with the wet nurse. The Queen Mother was feeling tired after holding her for a long time. The Empress Dowager let them all go down after a while, and only said to Concubine Rong: "How is Yikun Palace doing? Yesterday I heard the maid gossip that Concubine Yi was crying in the room every day. I thought about it and had a nightmare all night. I woke up feeling sick this morning."

Concubine Rong brought tea and persuaded with a smile: "You shouldn't worry about it. It's a blessing for the child and Concubine Yi that Fifth Elder Brother let you raise him, and he didn't want to take him to another palace to raise him. Why is she crying? Raised in Chengqian Palace Looking at the fourth elder brother, I don't see Debi crying, but she is fine."

The queen mother drank tea and said with a sigh of relief: "That's the reason. What did I do to snatch her child? The child still calls her Erniang, but the fourth elder brother doesn't call her Erniang Debi anymore. I haven't seen Debi making trouble."

Concubine Rong coaxed and said: "Just take care of your grandson, and he will be able to serve you when he grows up. We, Yinzhi, will definitely honor the emperor's grandmother. These days, the concubines don't bring him here, and the world is making trouble. He said he missed the emperor's grandmother."

"Yinzhi is a good boy." The Empress Dowager's mood gradually improved, and soon she heard the cry of the child, and they all gathered around to look, hugging and coaxing her, when the maid outside reported that Mrs. Guo Gui from Yikun Palace asked to see her.

Concubine Rong and the Empress Dowager looked at each other, and the Empress Dowager said, "You take Yinzhi and Rong Xian to eat snacks, and you don't need to see her, I have something to say."

So when Guo Guiren came in, he didn't see Concubine Rong and the others. He saluted the Queen Mother in the main hall. I didn't dare to mention it anymore, and left after sitting down for a cup of tea.

When Concubine Rong and the others came to the main hall, she let the two children go ahead, and she and Ji Xin walked a few steps slowly, telling her: "Look at the movement of Yikun Palace, and that Jue Chan family in their backyard, such a beautiful person , but I don’t know what kind of heart I have grown.”

Here Guo Guiren returned to Yikun Palace full of anger. Seeing his sister weeping every day and feeling distressed, he bit the bullet and wanted to come and see the child, but the queen mother didn’t like meat and vegetables, so she just said yes after walking around for a long time No, she didn't dare to be presumptuous even for a little nobleman.After holding back his anger, he came back, and when he entered the door, he saw Jue Chan promised to hang around in front of Yipin's door, and when he got closer, he was still hugging the little princess.

"What kind of lowly thing are you, worthy of hugging a princess?" Guo Guiren couldn't help but ask the people around him to snatch his daughter over. Seeing Jue Chan's beautiful face that made people jealous, he wished to step forward and tear it to pieces, and raised his leg towards her. Kicked on the knee, watched Jue Chan fall, and cursed, "Get out, go kneel in the yard, don't get up without my permission, if I see you touch the princess again, I will chop off your finger. "

Jue Chan fell to the ground and did not move, which made Guo Guiren even angrier. He yelled at the people around him to drag her to the yard to kneel, and let her knees be covered with tiles. He vented his anger before entering the door. His face turned cold early, and he said angrily: "What are you doing, it's so ugly to hear it, Ke Jing has been crying, so I asked her to hug her out and coax her. You..."

Guo Guiren sat on the side with his daughter in his arms, and said with a bad face: "Sister, don't let her touch Kejing in the future, what is she?"

Concubine Yi looked at her, seeing that this posture must have been suffocated in Ningshou Palace, she heard her younger sister muttering: "The queen mother is really weird, so what if I can see the child, she is hiding it, and she was not born."

"Shut up." Concubine Yi was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked Taohong and the others to go down, pointing at her sister and said, "Your mouth is worse than Mrs. An's. How dare you whisper behind your back, Queen Mother? She is a widow, what do you say?" What kind of words, don't use your head?"

Guo Guiren stood up holding her daughter, and said to her sister: "My sister once said that it is difficult to live under the control of Empress Niu Hulu, and I am having a hard time now. My sister was not such a person before. Why do you look at me now? Not pleasing to the eye? If you are wronged in your heart, I will not be wronged? Since you see me disgusted, my sister will leave."

After saying these words, Guo Guiren hugged his daughter to go to his own house, and then opened the curtain from the main hall, and saw a group of people humbling in front of the door. I was stunned, but I didn't know that as soon as Xuanye entered the door, he saw a woman in court concubine's clothes kneeling beside the big flowerpot in the yard.

The emperor stood in front of the door and didn't go in. It was Eunuch Li who came over in a hurry to ask why, and he didn't even pay attention to Guo Guiren who was already holding the child in front of the door to salute. Eunuch Li came over again and said awkwardly to Mrs. Guo: "Long live Lord said that since the concubine Yi is teaching the rules here, it is inconvenient for the long live God to intervene. I will come to see the concubine Yi some other day. Please send a message, please concubine Yi." Empress, take good care of yourself."

Guo Guiren was stunned when he heard that, he knelt in front of Eunuch Li and didn't remember to stand up. He only waited for Eunuch Li to leave, and a few court ladies came to help her. Guo Guiren returned to his senses while handing the princess to the wet nurse , furious, rushed into the yard like crazy, raised his hand and slapped Jue Chan's face: "Bitch, it's all your fault, why don't you die?"

Xuanye left Yikun Palace here, and went to Yonghe Palace. At first, he thought that Yipin gave birth to a prince, no matter what happened before, he would continue to check and balance the importance of each palace, and the relationship with Yipin would not be that far It's so bad, I really want to see her today, who knows that Xuan Ye hates abuse the most when he enters the door and sees such a scene, so of course it's a disappointment.

But before entering the Yonghe Palace, Xuan Ye told the people around him: "Don't let Concubine De know about these things, she will feel uncomfortable if she listens kindly." Coming to Yonghe Palace only after going to Yikun Palace, nothing is more important in the emperor's heart than taking good care of Lan Qi's heart.

Immediately adjusted his mood, he heard laughter when he entered the door, and Xiangyue said anxiously: "Master, I will write another one for my servant, and Sister Luzhu will steal it from me again."

Xuanye walked in, and saw the red paper covering the room, the big blessing characters were written full and mellow, but there were also crooked and incomplete ones.

Seeing the emperor came, everyone in the room knelt down to salute. Lan Qi knelt on the kang with her belly outstretched, and Xuan Ye pulled her to sit down. When the emperor came, there was no one outside to support him, and the Yonghe Palace became more and more unruly, I will ask Eunuch Li to teach you a lesson."

Xuan Ye laughed at her: "It's obvious that you're the one who shows off here, and it's a shame to give it away in such big characters. They make you happy, but they still get scolded." As he spoke, he splashed ink and took Lan Qi's pen I personally wrote a few big blessings and asked Huanchun and the others to take them. They didn't dare, but Xuan Ye said, "The ones I gave to the ministers of the harem were all written by Jinsha. It's different. Take it."

A few people were so happy, they each shared a piece of big blessing, and knelt and kowtowed to thank each other, but Lan Qi yelled: "What about mine? You don't care about it anymore, don't throw it away, I've been writing it for a long time .”

Huanchun and the others ignored her, they were busy packing up and serving tea, and they left after a while. Lan Qi pouted unhappy, pushed Xuan Ye and said: "They all thought that the concubine was very powerful, how can you not give it to me?" In the future, if the concubines write, they will laugh at them."

Seeing her so cute, Xuan Ye was in a really good mood when she was surrounded by masters and slaves who were as close as family members. He hugged her in his arms and kissed her on the face. Lan Qi's hand wrote a word stroke by stroke, but the more Lan Qi looked at it, the more she couldn't understand it. When she finished writing, she saw the word "Zuo".

"Yinzuo." Xuanye said, "When you give birth to a son, he will be called Yinzuo."

"Your Majesty." Lan Qi trembled in her heart, she had read a lot of books, knowing that Zuo is a blessing, but there is still...

"Don't like it?" Xuan Ye smiled deeply, but he didn't know if he had thought about those meanings carefully.
