Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"No contacts?" The Empress Dowager asked with a frown, "You say that, are you trying to disassociate yourself from your natal family?"

Concubine Wen wiped away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and nodded resolutely: "Differences do not conspire, my concubine wants to live a long life, and doesn't want to be like my sister, who has run out of oil and lamps."

"You see clearly." The Empress Dowager sighed softly, but she still seemed to have reservations about Concubine Wen's determination.Although she also knew that these years Niu Hulu's family was no more arrogant and noisy than in previous years. Apart from the insurmountable Concubine Tong in the palace, the biggest reason was that Concubine Wen was too indifferent to her family.Not only does she often evade meeting, but it is said that she dismisses them with just a few words, and even makes sarcastic remarks about her family members. This year, no one from Niu Hulu's family has entered the palace in the first month of the twelfth lunar month. It can be seen that these words at this moment are not extremely angry nonsense of.

But after all, she is the daughter of Niu Hulu's family. With a moment of indifference, can she insist on not communicating with each other for a lifetime?The women in the palace all wish to have a backer outside the palace. The reason why Concubine Hui can have both sides is not only because of her good temper and good manners, but also because she has the support of Mingzhu Mansion behind her. Concubine Wen does not rely on such a big family. Who will come forward to seek justice for her?

"Since you are looking at Gu Juechan's pulse, I will also entrust you with the treatment of Concubine Wen in the future. I will see Concubine Wen recover within two or three months." The Empress Dowager ordered leisurely, pointing to the imperial physician and said , "This matter ends here. I have justice for Concubine Wen. You don't need to spread it everywhere. If you hear some gossip circulating in the palace, you can't eat this bowl of food. Who else can the family expect to live?"

The imperial doctor bowed his knees in a panic and nodded, saying that he would never announce it to the public, and even vowed to take good care of Concubine Wen's body, and then he was sent out. The empress dowager glanced at Lan Qi and said, "Sit down."

Lan Qi had been standing by the side, and now Qianqian was sitting on a stool beside her. Aunt Su Mala sent the imperial doctor back, but she didn't know if she asked something. The face said: "The servant girl asked me a word, isn't the imperial physician who serves you always selected by your family and sent to the palace? Why can this imperial physician see that your body is out of harmony after a short look, and the imperial physician who has been serving you The Imperial Physician, but he can't see anything wrong, logically speaking, he should be the one who is most loyal to you."

"Nurse is right, but the imperial doctor always sent me out to tell the family. Before..." Concubine Wen replied, suddenly losing a little bit of confidence, and said awkwardly, "I was pregnant before. Coupled with the matter of Chengqian Palace, I completely fell out with Ah Ling, and I will never let these imperial physicians take care of me. The current imperial physician was appointed by the emperor later, and it has nothing to do with the family. As for why he sees I don’t know if it doesn’t come out. These medicines were taken for a long time after the miscarriage that year. The imperial doctor seemed to always say that I was not well. I changed the prescription several times in the middle, but I couldn’t find out what I took before. Now I don't know when I really started taking these medicines."

Lan Qi saw the extremely cold light flashing in the empress dowager's eyes, which made her heart clenched tightly, but the old man didn't say anything, but told Concubine Wen: "I will send another imperial doctor to show you, you can take care of me." Take care of your body with peace of mind, I am very pleased that you can take care of yourself and not cause trouble, and your sister has always been the most prudent person. Kneel down first." Then he said to Lan Qi, "Send it for me, you There is no need to come back, just go back and rest."

The two got up to leave, Lan Qi followed Concubine Wen and left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she came very low-key, in a soft sedan chair, only Dong Yun and the former imperial physician accompanied, Lan Qi also had only purple jade and green beads by her side, Wen The concubine stood in front of the door and said, "Can I have a cup of tea at Xianfu Palace, I want someone to talk to."

Lan Qi was noncommittal, Concubine Wen smiled sadly, and laughed at herself: "I originally entered the palace to give birth to my sister, but she left, and I didn't keep the child. Fortunately, I have no desire for the child. I probably don’t care if I take the medicine for a lifetime. But the emperor let me raise the eighth elder brother. The child is so cute. I look at him every day and think how nice it would be to have a child of my own. Who would have thought that this morning, I would take my eighth elder brother to see Jue Chan often, and the medicines for both of us were delivered together, and his imperial doctor just came, and stopped him and said that the medicine was wrong, so we should check again..." She said with a smile Tears looked at Lan Qi and smiled wryly, "Say, who wants to harm me? Is it my retribution?"

Lan Qi shook her head and bowed her head in response: "I don't know, my lady, don't think too much, go back and rest earlier, I have something to do in the palace, I will visit you next time."

"Just drink a cup of tea, I won't give you something dirty." Concubine Wen's tone was almost pleading, "It's too cold in Xianfu Palace, I'm scared sitting alone."

"The concubine goes back to Yonghe Palace first, and brings the sixth elder brother here, so how about letting him see the eighth elder brother?" Lan Qi finally raised her head and smiled, "Yin Zuo hasn't seen the eighth elder brother yet."

There seemed to be a spring breeze blowing on Concubine Wen's face, and she smiled with joy: "I'm waiting for you to come, but you want to come."

The person in front of her left happily, sweeping away the mournful atmosphere just now, she did not forget to open the curtain when she got on the sedan chair and said: "You have to come quickly, I will ask Dongyun to cook egg custard for Yin Zuo .”

It wasn't until Concubine Wen's sedan chair went far away that Luzhu came up and asked, "Master, why are you letting go? Are we really going? Do you want your servant to call back later and say that you have something to do and can't leave?"

"No, I even counted Yin Zuo, so it's not good to lie." Lan Qi didn't care, and hurriedly led them back. She thought Yin Zuo would take a nap, but the little guy was still very energetic. Lan Qi dressed him up, He was about to go out with his arms in his arms, but before he got into the sedan chair, the door of Chengqian Palace opened, and the sonorous crying of the child became louder and louder. Everyone saw the fourth elder brother being carried out and placed in front of the door, but the wet nurse Immediately went in again, leaving the child alone at the door, not knowing what to do, but Lan Qi's heart trembled when she heard Yinzhen's "Er Niang".

She involuntarily took a few steps forward, and the wet nurse came up to take Yinzuo, and then she suddenly came back to her senses, not only did not let go of Yinzuo, but she was about to step back.

"Er Niang..." Lan Qi turned around, and Yinzhen's crying pierced her heart again. She knew that Er Niang was not calling her, so she turned around in response, but now she saw the gorgeously dressed concubine walking out of the door, hugging her. He crouched down in front of Yinzhen.It can be seen that she is a little angry, but such angry eyes can also scare the child. She does not know what to say, and she pouted while speaking, and she has already picked up the handkerchief to wipe the tears of the fourth elder brother.

Yinzhen stopped crying, wiped his tears and fell on the concubine's shoulder to act like a spoiled child. Concubine Tong picked him up and saw the people on the side, Lan Qi was startled instead, unable to avoid it, and the concubine didn't seem to want to To leave, she had no choice but to come over with Yinzuo in her arms and bow to salute.

"You want to go out?" Concubine Tong saw the sedan chair in front of the Yonghe Palace, but also asked, "Or just came back?"

"The concubine wants to take the sixth elder brother to Xianfu Palace. Concubine Wen invites the concubine to have a cup of tea. By the way, Yinzuo has never seen the eighth elder brother. Let him go and see the little brother." Lan Qi replied, motioning to the wet nurse Followed up to take Yinzuo away, the wet nurse hugged the sixth elder brother to bow to the noble concubine, and then went back to the original place, but when Yinzhen saw his younger brother leaving, he stretched out his hand to go, moaning in the concubine's arms .

The imperial concubine did not agree, and asked the wet nurse to take away the entangled child, while she looked at Lan Qi and said, "You just go to drink tea alone, what are you doing with the sixth elder brother? Although the eighth elder brother is raised under Concubine Wen's lap, but Can his biological mother compare with you? Our fourth elder brother will not go, what is there to see in a milk doll?"

"The concubine did not invite the fourth elder brother." Lan Qi was puzzled, so she wanted to explain, and then she heard the imperial concubine cough dryly and said, "Did you see that I kicked Yinzhen out just now?"

Lan Qi nodded, feeling embarrassed, but the imperial concubine continued: "He scratched the nurse's arm just now and lost his temper for no reason. I was teaching him a lesson, but I didn't mean to drive him away at all. Don't look at it." When you arrive, you will think about it, and then go somewhere to talk nonsense."

Lan Qi didn't say a word, but Concubine Tong turned around and left after finishing speaking, the gate of Chengqian Palace was closed, and the green pearl and purple jade behind her rushed over to ask her if she could go, so she smiled bitterly and said, "I really messed up." I don't understand this lady's temper."

But at this moment in the Palace of Mercy Ning, two groups of people from the Imperial Hospital came, all of whom were confidantes of the Empress Dowager. They talked for a long time in the inner hall until everyone dispersed. The empress dowager was alone with her, and seeing her frowning, she couldn't help asking: "Are you still doubting the emperor?"

"Concubine Wen said that the imperial doctor was appointed by him. If the imperial doctor did something, it may not be Xuan Ye's intention. I don't want him to do such a thing." To do so is to ruin one's own luck, and Concubine Tong's sachets made Concubine Yi lose her son, which is a lesson."

Maybe it's because she's getting older, the Empress Dowager is more and more in awe of the retribution of gods and Buddhas, she also had the courage to kill and make decisions when she was young, but now she lacks such ruthlessness, maybe the old man still has a strong hand, but after all she doesn't want Xuan Ye to do it herself This kind of thing that hurts the descendants, I can't help but worry at this moment, and said to Aunt Su Mala: "He promised me that he will never do this again."

The mammy relented: "Long Live Lord has listened to your words since he was a child, and he promised that he would never commit another crime. This servant will send someone to investigate further. If it wasn't for Long Live Lord's thoughts, you would have wronged him."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were cold, and she said bitterly: "Check it out carefully, if it's not Xuan Ye's intention, but some woman in this palace has a bad heart, or Suo Etu, Tong Guowei and the others stretched their claws in again, it's a big deal. This time, we must deal with it strictly, and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys."

On this side, Lan Qi carried Yinzuo to Xianfu Palace slowly, and when she got off the sedan chair, she heard the baby crying. Yinzuo listened ignorantly, and Lan Qi coaxed him, "It's my little brother, younger than Yinyou, Yinzuo is an older brother, so he can't cry for a while."

While talking, Concubine Wen came out to greet her in person, with a happy smile on her face, she reached out her hand to hug Yinzuo, Lan Qi generously handed it to her, but as soon as Eniang let go of Yinzuo, she burst into tears.
