Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The emperor personally welcomed his grandmother back to the palace, and the word filial piety came first. Even if someone wanted to talk about a concubine living in the palace, no one dared to say it outright. Instead, it was something that had not been circulated in the palace since Yujia left the Forbidden City. After all, everyone knew that Wu Ya had been ill for more than a month in the palace, and when she was seriously ill, it was the days when Jue Chan was favored.

It is not uncommon for someone to say sourly: "She has a good temper, but I would have sent a message back long ago, and the Empress Debi can bear such a good opportunity."

They didn't know that Debi had learned to endure everything since entering the gate of the Forbidden City.

It is impossible for the emperor to go out without alarming the officials in front of him. Even if he made repeated orders not to let his grandmother know, the garden also got the news early in the morning. When it was passed to the Empress Dowager, he heard that his grandson did not let him know. The old man smiled at Su Mala : "He doesn't want Lan Qi to know, so don't make it public, and see what he will do when he comes."

Aunt Su Mala smiled straightly: "You were still thinking about how that Jue Chan Changzai would become a climate, but in the face of the catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor had to put it aside first, and I'm afraid it was just a novelty. Look at this letting go." , I didn’t remember to pick it up.”

"I heard that the woman was very coquettish, but I have no impression." The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "Xuan Ye is young and vigorous, and he is tempted to see beauty. I don't blame him, but I don't want him Whoever he likes and who he doesn't like I shouldn't intervene, but let the courtiers spread the word, saying that it's not good to be ruthless and obsessed with women nowadays .”

Aunt Su Mala said yes again and again, and mentioned: "I have asked someone to ask, this Jue Chan often existed in the palace in the early years, wandering around, and once worked as a maid under the hands of Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui brought her to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects, and the one who repaired the tin for you was a handy child. Later, Concubine Hui said that once Concubine Hui went to the Palace of Qianqing to deliver soup at night, and the emperor fell in love for a while. , with this maid by his side, the emperor stayed behind. Afterwards, she was sick and sick, and then she got better, because the queen mother liked her hand-made clothes. At that time, the queen Niu Hulu was still there, so she gave her a promised name. At first, I followed the nobleman Nala, then I was beaten for offending the noble concubine, and when I was dying, I went to Yikun Palace, this time I heard that there was something going on in the Yikun Palace, so the emperor let the emperor pay attention."

"Torturing like this?" The Empress Dowager shook her head again and again, "Thanks to her living up to now, such tossing didn't damage that face?"

Aunt Su Mala sighed: "Which one of the people in the palace is easy, the slaves just singled out Jue Chanchang to say it."

When she heard that she was related to Concubine Hui, the Empress Dowager sighed again, "In recent years, she has become less stable than before. Firstly, she has lost her holy favor, and secondly, there are more and more princesses. Looking at the future of myself and my son, I am gradually no longer the noble person I used to be." Thinking of my own experience when I was young, I said with emotion, "I can't bear to blame her. Back then, for Fulin, I did everything I could, day by day. She calculated to get over it, maybe what she did was wrong, but it's only natural to have such a thought."

Seeing that the master was sad about the past, Madam Su Mala didn't dare to say anything again, and the Empress Dowager was happier when she saw Huanchun came to say hello, and Huanchun said: "Your Majesty, let the servants come to ask for a favor, and beg the Empress Dowager to let her go out for a stroll. I'm always bored in the house and I can't get better, and my mother has improved her piano skills when she came in. She wants to perform in front of you, the empress dowager. I don't dare to get too close, but are you willing to condescend to move to the lake in the garden to sit? Sit down, the sun is so bright today, how nice it is to go out and bask in the sun."

The empress dowager smiled and said: "The emperor is here, don't tell your master before you go back, let her be pleasantly surprised."

Huanchun couldn't help being surprised and delighted, and promised not to say anything, the empress dowager said again: "Let's go over and have a sit down, call the empress dowager and the two concubines, if by chance Xuanye will be here, call He took a look at how our wives are doing well, who cares about him thinking about it."

Seeing the master's smile, Madam Su Mala felt relieved immediately, and ordered Huan Chun to also go to Zhang Luo. After a while, everyone surrounded the old man and came to sit in the sunny place by the lake. There was a piano in the pavilion in the lake, and Lan Qi was already there. Seeing the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng saluted first, and the two places were not far apart. The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "The gauze curtains are fluttering in this pavilion, and the lake is full of green and green lotus leaves. The consort De Dressed in crimson clothes, it looks like a lotus flower blooming in summer, I really should find Nan Huairen and let him paint it like this."

Prince Yu Fu Jin smiled: "Ms. De Concubine looks like she is playing the piano by the lake. Master Nan's foreigner's paintings don't have any charm. You have to find a painter from the south of the Yangtze River. Only the ink and pastels can describe the taste."

"I don't know what is the status of that peerless beauty in the legend in the palace. The Empress De concubine is so beautiful, is she really going to be compared?" Prince Gong Fu Jin said inadvertently while looking at the misty smoke in the pavilion in front, but When she turned around and saw the empress dowager's sullen expression, Prince Yu Fujin pushed her away and said softly, "Which pot is not open and which pot is it to lift?"

When everyone was in a state of embarrassment, Lan Qi, who was sitting by the piano, didn't hear anything, her slender fingers brushed over the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano was carried by the water. Between the ding ding dong dong, there seemed to be high mountains and flowing water, as well as lush forests. As time went by, the Queen Mother said in surprise: "De Concubine is so enlightened, how long has she been learning?"

The empress dowager's displeasure at being aroused by Prince Gong Fujin dissipated, and she listened quietly to the sound of the piano. Although she had no accomplishments in it, Xuan Ye loved the piano when she was young. Watching him learn it for several years, she listened to it a lot. The sound of the young piano, and perhaps because of her age, she can hear the overtones better. Sitting on the other side, Lan Qi, who seems to be a quiet and elegant person, slowly softens her voice, but it seems to be pouring out the soreness in her heart. Let her old man listen, Can't help but feel sad.

At the end of the song, everyone clapped their hands in praise. The Queen Mother invited Lan Qi to play another song. Lan Qi was so happy and proud that she plucked the strings again, more focused, and inadvertently put her thoughts on Yao Qin. I was listening, and when I saw a beautiful woman playing the piano in the pavilion in the lake, I stopped unconsciously.

Someone came quietly to send a message, and Madam Su Mala got up and saw it from a distance, then she whispered next to the Empress Dowager, "Long Live Lord has arrived."

The empress dowager remained calm and said softly: "It's time to come. Let's leave after listening to this song. Let him stand there and listen to the people he has forgotten here. How sad it is."

And Lan Qi didn't realize that the emperor was coming, she thought she was concentrating on this song without distraction, but unknowingly poured out all her thoughts and thoughts, and when she pressed the strings to accept the last sound, the applause from the queen mother and Fujin over there pulled her away again. Returning to reality, I got up and leaned forward, and heard the Queen Mother say from afar: "When I return to the palace, let the emperor listen to it, our concubine not only has to take the first prize in reading and writing, but also has first-class understanding in learning piano."

Lan Qi was happy on the face, but she felt helpless in her heart. Seeing the Empress Dowager standing up, everyone crowded around to leave, and a palace maid came over and said: "It's windy, Madam Su Mala invites the Empress Dowager I’m going back, let you go back earlier and rest, you’re still coughing, don’t blow the wind.”

Lan Qi complied, and when all the people had gone away, the excitement of laughter and laughter just now disappeared. Her heart sank, and she looked back at the piano on the table. It was not a rare and good piano, but she wanted to play it. The empress dowager asked the luthier to find a good one for her.

Huanchun had already seen Shengjia in the distance, but it was a little far away, covered by trees, she couldn't really see it, she promised the Empress Dowager not to say anything, so she didn't dare to mention it, and advised the master to go back to avoid the wind, but Lan Qi said : "You ask the little eunuch to find two heavy stones, or bluestone slabs."

Huanchun didn't know what she was going to do, she had a look of sadness on her face, coughed a few times when she spoke, and didn't want to disobey and make her uncomfortable, so she called the eunuch in front to do it, there are rockery trees everywhere here, find a few stones It's easy, and a huge stone is moved in a short time.

Lan Qi looked at her, bit her lips lightly, turned around and tore down the gauze curtain hanging from the pavilion, twisted it into something long like a rope, and tied the stone and the Qin at both ends. Only then did Huan Chun understand her What to do, I was too shocked to say a word.

"I'll throw the qin into the lake in a while, and you guys put down the stones." Lan Qi picked up the qin and directed the two young eunuchs to lift the big stone. The two were also a little at a loss, but Lan Qi smiled calmly, " It's okay, I'll let Huanchun reward you with silver ingots later."

After saying this, I walked to the railing with my qin in my arms and looked at the sparkling lake in the distance. There were lotus leaves all around the pavilion, and this was the only place facing the water. When she touched the stone, she closed her eyes silently, loosened her hands, the body of the piano fell, and the big stone also fell down. There were two sounds of splashing water, and then only the gurgling of water was heard. Lan Qi opened her eyes and saw The xylophone, which was still floating on the surface of the water, quickly disappeared after a little struggle.

Seeing all this in the distance, Xuanye almost strangled the folding fan in his hand. He didn't understand why Lan Qi did this. She didn't want to play the piano for him?Is it because Concubine Tong Gui also plays the piano, or does she have other grievances?I once told her not to mention the sound of the qin in Chengqian Palace, but I never said that she could not play the qin. The qin is a favorite thing, but now it has changed so I don’t touch it very much, but he is willing to listen to Lan Qi playing the qin. Why? She wants to do this?By doing this, are you sure that you will never touch the strings again in this life?

And the sobbing sound of the piano just now was also blaming himself?

"Long Live Lord, shall we go there?" Eunuch Li looked at the scene, feeling very uncomfortable, and urged the emperor to leave, but Xuan Ye took half a step back, turned around and said, "Let's go."

Eunuch Li was dumbfounded: "Let's go?"

"Go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty, you..." Eunuch Li rushed over to stop him regardless, "The Empress Dowager knew you were here, and now that you're gone, the old man is not in a hurry."

The emperor stopped walking, and Eunuch Li said sincerely: "I am a talkative slave, Lord Long Live, if you leave, the Empress Debi will find out later, if you cry alone at night, are you willing?"

Xuan Ye's eyes trembled, and with a click sound, the folding fan in his hand was really broken.
