Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Duan was startled when she heard that, she hurriedly dragged Concubine Rong away, and scolded her: "You dare to say these things in front of Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother will be very surprised to hear that."

Concubine Rong also knew that she had lost her sense of proportion, but she smiled nonchalantly: "Although I can't say it, the Queen Mother is a bodhisattva, and I'm afraid she won't blame her if she hears it. Look at Guo Guiren's behavior, it's just a word of hysteria. According to me Look, she just watched Concubine Hui come forward to take care of it, so she simply pushed it clean, but the Empress Dowager also had calculations, always thinking that in the future there will be only the Queen Mother in the palace, so she should start to let the Queen Mother take care of things, because she is afraid that our empress dowager, the empress dowager, will I have been rich and idle all my life, I really don't know which woman in this palace can really have the final say in the future."

"It won't be you and me." Concubine Duan advised her, "You have to understand in your heart that we cannot compete."

Concubine Rong nodded again and again: "Don't worry, it's not that I've changed my mind or gone astray. Even if I plot against someone, I won't kill anyone. Am I not afraid of committing crimes? It's just that I am from a humble background, and I don't want to." Yin Zhi will be ridiculed by others in the future, a son is more valuable than a mother, I have to earn some face for him in this palace."

Speaking of which, Concubine Rong said again: "Before I went out early in the morning, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came, saying that the emperor asked me to choose a place to move in among the vacant pavilions in the East Sixth Palace. After so many years, I suddenly brought up this matter. , I thought there must be a reason. After asking, I found out that there is another matter about Concubine Hui, and the emperor asked her to choose a place to live in the West Sixth Palace."

Concubine Duan said happily: "This is a good thing. I entered the Zhongcui Palace before you that day. Although there was a reason, I was still not at ease. Seeing that you and Concubine Hui have not yet entered the Sixth Palace of the East and West, I will go first." I have become a master in Zhongcui Palace, so it's all right now."

Concubine Rong sighed: "It's a happy event, but did you know that the emperor asked Concubine Hui to go to the Qing Palace in the middle of the night last night? What can you say in the middle of the night? You see, she has dark circles under her eyes today. I guess it's not a good thing. The emperor's eyes are so dark. Poison must be seen more thoroughly than us, so this time I move, I feel sympathy, if it is really rewarding me for something happy, it would be great."

Concubine Duan advised her not to think too much, the two of them went back to Zhongcui Palace and passed by Jingyang Palace, they stood in front of the door and took a look, Concubine Duan smiled and said: "That's it, it's convenient to live nearby and walk around."

While talking, I saw Bu Guiren and Dai Jiashi coming back from the front. They followed Debi, so they couldn't help asking why they came back again. Seeing that Concubine De is not in a good mood, it would be embarrassing to sit with her when we went, she can gossip anytime, let her be quiet, and she will be back soon."

Concubine Rong smiled and said: "My sister is exquisite. I just saw you follow me. I don't want to shout out. Concubine De was also scared by Guo Luoluo last night. Let her be quiet." Then she told the two with a smile. Man, she is going to move to Jingyang Palace in the future, she was very happy for a while, and even went in for a stroll together, planning to wait for Concubine Rong's housewarming, and come to ask for a glass of wine.

And in the Yonghe Palace ahead, Lan Qi was bored in the room alone after she came back. Last night she held Yinzuo in her arms and didn't sleep well all night. When she woke up in a daze in the morning, she heard the Queen Mother's call, and hurried to Ningshou Palace After hearing such words, I realized that it was Guo Guiren who stabbed the palace lady last night, and fled around the six palaces with the murder weapon. It took me a long time to find it like a hide-and-seek in the middle of the night. What should I do if I enter somewhere and hurt someone?

And the words that those few people promised just now also made her feel uncomfortable.She understood that Xuanye went to Chengqian Palace instead of coming to see her, so she must have to do so, but she was fed up with being compared and made fun of for a little thing, and she didn't care if she heard it all the time. It was done for others to see, so how can I really not care in my heart?Then he wondered if he was really too sexual, that's why they looked down on him and made jokes about him.It's not that she has become a concubine now that she feels that she should be superior to others and can't tolerate other people's gossip, but because she thinks that the children will grow up in the future, what will they think if they hear a few words?

"Let me hear it next time..." Lan Qi said to herself, she wanted to make a wish, but her heart softened, she felt that there was no need for it, why should she blush over a few words.

When he was contradicting himself, Huan Chun came in quietly. At first, he knew she was angry and wanted to keep quiet so he didn't bother her, but now an imperial doctor arrived and had to come in to ask for pulse.Since the master was pregnant with the sixth elder brother but didn't know it, and almost got into trouble, the empress dowager ordered the imperial hospital to come to take her pulse the next day. Firstly, the sixth elder brother had a difficult labor and she needed to recuperate her body. Later, when she became pregnant, she didn't know, and the result of taking the pulse had to be reported to the Compassion Palace, so she didn't dare to delay.

Lan Qi didn't shirk, she didn't want to embarrass the imperial physician, and waited for the old rules to be settled. The imperial physician said that she was a little angry and asked her to rest for two days. When she was about to leave, Lan Qi left him and asked: "Do you know that if a person How did you get hysteria?"

The imperial physician frowned slightly, knowing that the imperial concubine cared about Guo Guiren's affairs, weighed it in his heart a few times, and then bowed and said: "The director of the Qianjin Gynecology Department, I don't have much research on hysteria, I only know a little bit about it. I think hysteria is common. There are two types, one is congenital, and it is present at birth, and the other is acquired with stagnation of liver qi, stagnation of qi and blood stasis, and long-term listlessness, which can also lead to madness."

Lan Qi nodded, thought for a while and then asked: "The so-called stagnation of liver qi is also caused by illness?"

The imperial doctor smiled and said: "Madam, this is a cycle, like metrorrhagia in gynecology, the liver does not store blood and causes metrorrhagia, blood deficiency will damage the liver, damage to the liver will lead to the liver not storing blood, it is a cycle of symptoms."

Lan Qi couldn't quite understand these few sentences, so she decided to ask bluntly: "Actually, I want to know if people with hysteria like Guo Guiren take the wrong medicine or take the medicine that they shouldn't take, they will also suffer from it." cause?"

After going around in a big circle, the imperial physician still had to smile wryly: "I dare not talk nonsense, after all, Guo Guiren has never called the imperial physician to consult a doctor before, but it is said that if someone else went mad because of taking the wrong medicine or taking the wrong medicine. some."

Lan Qi nodded, thinking that you should have said it earlier, so Huan Chun sent him away with a reward, and turned around and complained: "These old doctors are so impeccable in their words, can I kill them? After talking like this, I don't want to study medicine .”

Huan Chun only smiled: "The servants are dizzy when they hear it, but they think it's funny. Thinking about it again, this is actually the way to talk. These old doctors have seen so many people in the palace for so many years, but they still serve the most difficult ones. You, how can you do it without a few fancy intestines in your stomach. The servant thinks that you don’t study medicine, so it’s better to learn their detours. Look at those words, he will tell you vaguely only if you ask clearly , in case there is anything, you are the one who asked, not he rushed to tell you."

But Lan Qi clicked her tongue and said: "Since you came to Yonghe Palace, you have more people under your command, even more powerful than before. If the emperor hears these words, he will definitely praise you for your ability."

But speaking like this, when Xuan Ye was mentioned, Lan Qi's mood suddenly turned bad. Last night she was so scared that she hugged Yin Zuo all night. At that time, she really hoped that the emperor would come, so she could understand the deep sorrow of the women in the palace. When I woke up in the morning and heard that Shengjia had gone to Chengqian Palace, my heart felt even more sour. After all, she is also an ordinary person, a little woman who is full of hope for her husband's love, nothing more than a vulgar little woman.

Later, seeing Huanchun packing up the things to give away, Lan Qi asked her what she was doing for it, Huanchun was surprised: "Miss Concubine Wen has an eighth elder brother, you have to give gifts to congratulate her, and Jue Chan is always there, so you must be sympathetic." You have told your servants to prepare for the communication."

Speaking of this commotion, it actually dilutes the celebration of the eighth elder brother's birth. Everyone is waiting to see what will happen to the sisters in Yikun Palace, but no one cares about the situation in Xianfu Palace. The imperial concubine sent blessing bags everywhere early in the morning, but everyone put them away and forgot.

Just when Yin Zuo was being carried, Lan Qi and him opened the red brocade bag, which contained all kinds of small things and food, and Yin Zuo let go of it like a toy. Qi hummed, speaking inarticulately, Lan Qi coaxed him: "Did you miss your brother?"

In the first month, the palaces come and go for banquets, and the children are used to playing and playing together. It is inevitable that his one-year-old child can't bear the loneliness, and he doesn't talk much, so he just babbles and pesters Lan Qi for a long time. If she was not satisfied, she would cry and make a scene. Lan Qi originally wanted to be angry by herself for a while, but she was pestered by her son and wandered around him all morning.

I didn’t have much appetite for lunch, but people from Qianqing Palace and Imperial Dining Room came, saying that the emperor’s lunch would be served in Yonghe Palace. Huan Chun led the maids to Zhang Luo, but Lan Qi stood at the gate of the palace with her son in her arms, ringing from time to time. Chun walked past her, and she muttered: "Go and ask again, is it right to go to Chengqian Palace, is there a mistake?"

"You just say what you mean, and you can ask yourself after you see the Long Live Lord." Huan Chun was impatient with her words, and pointed to the people in the Qianqing Palace and the Imperial Dining Room, "It's not good for people to hear."

Lan Qi was not convinced, she carried Yin Zuo back to the inner hall, and played with her son on the kang, until she heard the news of the emperor's arrival from outside, she was overjoyed at first, and there was a smile on her face, but she didn't know what was wrong, she was stunned Without moving his body, he held his son and tilted his head to pretend to sleep.

But how could Yinzuo cooperate? Suddenly seeing Erniang lying down to sleep, she happily climbed up to hold Lan Qi's face, rubbed and pinched her, and reached out to grab her earrings. Lan Qi cried out in pain, Xuan Ye Just when I came in, I was startled, and when I got closer, I saw the mother covering one side of her face full of pain, and the little doll sat and cried without knowing why, Xuan Ye smiled wryly: "You guys are big and small, which one will I coax first?" good?"

But while she was talking, she stretched out her hand and pulled Lan Qi's hand away. She saw a slightly swollen scratch on her cheek and red earlobes. She guessed it was hurt by her son. First, she carefully took off the earrings and checked. There was no bleeding from the skin, so he exhaled softly and said, "You are so stupid, you will hurt yourself if you play with your son."

Lan Qi was blown behind the ear by him so that her heart was pounding, and she was pulled into his arms immediately. Xuan Ye actually pointed at her son in a dignified manner: "You bully Erniang and still have the nerve to cry?"

Yin Zuo could already distinguish fierceness from gentleness, and this time he was so wronged that he cried heart-rendingly. The wet nurse couldn't help but come over to persuade him, and took the sixth elder brother away bravely. The son's crying became softer and softer. However, Lan Qi looked out of the window with her neck stretched, as if muttering to herself: "Does he understand?"

Xuan Ye smiled: "I will always understand in the future, if the children dare not be filial to you, I will not forgive them."

Lan Qi became anxious: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, the children are the best." Turning around to meet his eyes, the grievance in her heart faded instantly when she saw him, seeing Xuan Ye looking at her so tenderly, The big hand gently touched the scratched place on her cheek, and she felt distressed. She couldn't help being coquettish, and leaned into his arms and said, "Your Majesty, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep last night. I hugged Yinzuo all night. My hands are numb in the morning."

Xuan Ye frowned, last night he was perfunctory to the noble concubine, saying that Lan Qi would not be afraid so he was not worried at all, but in fact he was very worried, now he heard her say that again, and regretted changing his mind suddenly, in fact, so what if he didn't have scruples?He said distressedly: "I'm not by your side, don't be angry, I won't be so scruples anymore in the future."

Lan Qi shook her head, "I don't want you to come, I just want to act coquettishly right now, you should go to the imperial concubine, or the empress dowager, or the empress dowager and the prince, as long as the emperor remembers that every few days Just come to Yonghe Palace to coax the courtiers and concubines."

Xuan Ye said happily, "You are really welcome."

As he spoke, he pulled her up, saying that she was hungry, and the imperial meals had already been set up extravagantly outside, which is not the case when Xuan Ye comes to eat on weekdays, but today it seemed that he came here with great fanfare on purpose, as if he wanted to show it to others, Lan Qi dared not Go to click through the doorway here and have dinner with them. The two of them didn't mention anything about Xianfu Palace or Yikun Palace. Instead, they said that the imperial driver will go to Changrui Mountain in a few days and ask her to go to Qianqing Palace tomorrow or the next day. What Xuan Ye needs to bring when traveling.

"I'm going to go for half a month, and I really want to take you with me." Xuan Ye has a good appetite, and he is in a good mood when he mentions these things, "However, after this trip, a major event will happen. The tombs of the two empresses can finally enter the mausoleum." , I have done my best for them."

"The concubines also want to serve along with them, but this is against the rules." Lan Qi smiled and stood up to serve him soup, "When the emperor goes on tour, you must bring the concubines with you. Looking forward to it for a year."

"Naturally, I will take you there. It would be better if I could serve the imperial grandmother." Xuan Ye said, "But the imperial grandmother is not interested in the landscape of the south of the Yangtze River. The greatest wish of the imperial grandmother is to go back to Horqin, but she is already old. It’s really not going to work, and I’m also sorry.”

"Your Majesty, how about inviting people from Horqin to visit the Empress Dowager? They send things every month, but they can't catch up with the people who come. They are all blood relatives of the Empress Dowager." Lan Qi counted the days, "Concubine Talk too much, now you make an order to arrive before the hot weather, spend the summer in the capital, and return before winter."

Xuan Ye nodded: "It's up to you, but there is still one thing to do before."

Lan Qi came over with soup, "What's the matter?"

Xuanye said coldly: "Give death to Guo Luoluo."

Lan Qi shook her hand, and before she could put down the soup bowl steadily, it fell on the table and spilled it all.
