Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Yin Zuo, this is Lady Wen, let Lady Wen hug you." Seeing her son crying, Lan Qi kept coaxing him, but the little guy hugged Lan Qi's neck and refused to let go. It's okay for Concubine Wen to touch him, if Lan Qi When Qi wanted to let her go, Yinzuo yelled and cried, which made Lanqi's ears hurt.

"Did he think that you didn't want him and sent him here?" Concubine Wen was at a loss, but still smiled joyfully, "Why don't you go in first, Brother Six must have never seen this place before. .”

It is common for children to cry and fuss. Seeing that Concubine Wen is so generous, Lan Qi felt no embarrassment anymore, and said with a smile, "He is the skinniest every day, but today he is more reserved." He was not allowed to cry, and entered the door surrounded by crowds, but it was Brother Six who cried, and the baby inside stopped crying, and a group of people entered the room. Concubine Wen led the mother and child directly to the cradle. Fell asleep after crying.

Seeing a child younger than himself in the cradle, and even younger than the Yinyou he had seen, Yin Zuo immediately relaxed his vigilance. After being put down by Er Niang, he grabbed the cradle and wanted to reach out to touch it. My arms were too short, and once or twice I couldn't do it, I would whimper and pester the nurse around me to hug her. Lan Qi told her not to let her son wake up the eighth elder brother, so she left the nurses to take care of her, and she and Concubine Wen retired. out.

Dong Yun has already arranged all kinds of refreshments, and set up a table extravagantly, Lan Qi smiled: "There are so many things, how can the concubine finish them all?"

"Taste everything, as I told you, there is nothing else in Xianfu Palace, there are many delicious foods, and I will bring Yin Zuo out later, he will see so many delicious foods here from Lady Wen, and he will definitely eat them often in the future." If you want to come, I will not move you, it is easy to deceive children." Concubine Wen was overjoyed, she pulled Lan Qi to sit down with her, and pushed her the exquisite snacks on the table.

But Dong Yun brought in an exquisite and small tea stove, and opened a pot of water face to face. Lan Qi smiled and asked where the spring water was, but Concubine Wen said, "It was the dew on the flowers I picked last summer. Every evening, a thunderstorm wiped the dust away." After rinsing it all off, the dew on the flowers when I get up early the next day is very clear. I picked it drop by drop, and I only got this jar in the whole summer. I still want to keep it to coax the emperor, but it’s better to drink it for you. You smell it smell."

Lan Qi is also good at tea ceremony. I heard that there are literati and scholars collecting dew, but that is the most labor-intensive thing. Thinking about doing this, now I smell the faint fragrance of flowers in the water, and I think of the days when she accompanied the Empress Dowager to rest in the palace last summer. It must be more leisurely, but in a blink of an eye, Jue Chan gave birth to a prince, but he was raised under her name. No one can guess what will happen in the future of this palace.

"This water is too fragrant to make tea. It will wash out the aroma of the tea leaves and become nondescript. The concubines don't dare to drink tea for fear of not being able to sleep at night. The empress has nectar here. It must be the clearest for a bowl of honey tea." Sweet." Lan Qi smiled and returned the jar to Dong Yun, and persuaded Concubine Wen, "Don't spoil the tea with the rare good water."

Concubine Wen tutted her tongue: "Sure enough, you understand. I planned to use it to coax the emperor, but I also prepared to use the best tea. I'm glad I didn't make a joke." Then she ordered Dong Yun, "Bring me the Sophora japonica honey that the Queen Mother rewarded me during the year."

At this time, I saw Xiang He who was beside Jue Chan came to salute, and said that it was to thank Concubine Wen for rewarding the snacks in the past. It turned out that there was a table on Lan Qi's side, and Concubine Wen also sent some. She was very polite and ordered Xianghe: "Your master should eat more. You haven't recovered after so long, so don't steal it. I'll just ask Dongyun to bring you some more."

Lan Qi watched from the side, and saw that Xianghe's face was also full of joy. The relationship between the master and slave in Xianfu Palace was not bad. Only after they left, Concubine Wen said to Lan Qi: "When we finish talking, If you want to go before you leave, go and see that Jue Chan is always there, now we are just sitting and talking."

"The concubine listens to you." Naturally, Lan Qi did as she pleased.

"Speaking of it, I am also surprised. In recent years, I have been so energetic every day, but every few days every month, I feel so soft that I am too lazy to talk. I have abdominal pain, backache, and discomfort. But as soon as the days pass, I feel very tired every day. Spirit, now I heard from the imperial doctor that my blood is too strong, so I don’t think it’s strange.” Concubine Wen propped her head on one hand, and sighed, “Now that the imperial doctor is detained by the empress dowager, I can’t see it either. , I really want to ask if his medical skills are too mediocre, or did he deliberately harm me, or was he manipulated by others? Debi, tell me, what harm is there to a person like me?"

Lan Qi said: "The concubine doesn't understand these ways, the concubine only knows that you are the daughter of Niu Hulu's family after all, and the empress's own sister."

"Really?" Concubine Wen's face suddenly darkened, she picked up her chopsticks to grab a snack, and said slowly, "So no matter how much I try to get rid of them, I'm doomed to never get rid of them for the rest of my life? Do you think it's..."

A steamed dumpling with three delicacies was placed on the plate in front of Lan Qi. Concubine Wen looked at her and said, "If the emperor ordered that imperial doctor to prescribe medicine to me, what should I do? I am not going against the emperor by suing the palace of compassion like this." Yet?"

"Your Majesty...how do you say that?" Lan Qi was astonished, thinking of the cold light flashing in the Empress Dowager's eyes just now, did the Empress Dowager think so too, or was she thinking too much?

Concubine Wen smiled wryly: "The imperial doctor was appointed by the emperor. I begged the emperor not to let Alinga's eyeliner stare at me anymore. Although I know that if I remove one imperial doctor, I can't get rid of others, but I don't know. It's fine, I know, I really don't want to see him every day. The emperor promised me, and appointed a new imperial physician the next day, until now."

"The emperor, how could he do such a thing." Lan Qi shook her head.

"My elder sister has never been a big bedtime attendant. The emperor doesn't like her in the first place, and it's normal to have no children." Concubine Wen's face was sad, and there was despair in her eyes for some reason. The joy of seeing the guests just now had faded, she said quietly He said, "But the emperor is very kind to me. When I'm not coming, I will occasionally send someone to ask me how I am. When I come, he will joke with me. He has always been very good. Even if I make trouble in Chengqian Palace After he explained such a big matter to me clearly, he didn't dislike me at all. If I was sick, he would send people to inquire from time to time. I feel that my life is much better than that of my sister. As a concubine, I Famous and real, a hundred times stronger than her. But today I suddenly heard that the medicine I was taking was wrong, and my heart was so cold, it was even colder than when I met my sister's cold body."

"If it's someone else, you shouldn't think so. How good is it to wrong the emperor? The emperor likes children so much. Although there are rules about whether to keep them or not, even if they promise to be here all these years, there is no such thing as not keeping them. No matter what. Not on you."

Lan Qi tried her best to comfort Concubine Wen, but she didn't know what to do. The Xuan Ye in her eyes wanted to take care of herself and hold her in her hand every day. She couldn't imagine that the emperor would be so cruel. At least, even if he was favored for a night, he didn't say that he would not keep it. Bu Guiren and Dai Changzai both had heirs successively. Why did Xuanye...

Why?Could it be that it doesn't matter because of low-ranking concubines, and Concubine Wen is the daughter of Niu Hulu's family, Concubine Tong Guifei is not easy to give birth to herself, maybe it was really Xuan Ye who did it?

"We can't wrong the emperor first." Lan Qi said this, and told herself over and over again in her heart, how could she doubt Xuan Ye, there are still few bad-hearted people in this palace?It must not be Xuan Ye.

"If it wasn't for the emperor, I would feel much better." Concubine Wen paused, her eyes drooping, she didn't know what to think, and she continued after a while, "I want to wait for the emperor to come back and ask him if he is right. , I don’t think about it anymore, it doesn’t matter who knows it or not, anyway, I have deceived myself and others a lot in my life.”

Lan Qi stared at her, and in Concubine Wen's eyes, she saw somewhat the same expression as her own.She has always understood that whether she is drafted into the palace or she comes from a court lady like this, not everyone has real affection for the emperor. Jue Chan is the best example, and those who have affection for Xuan Ye like her Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan probably were, but at this moment she felt that the little Niu Hulu family in front of her always kept saying that she entered the palace to give birth to a boy and a half girl for Empress Niu Hulu. Xuan Ye is in love.

Women are very sensitive and delicate. The Bu Guiren and Dai Changzai around Lan Qi are very different from themselves to the emperor. They are in awe of the emperor and have a flattered attitude towards everything, but Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan are different. Here Lan Qi knew in her heart the slight difference in her hair. Concubine Wen now expressed doubts about her own feelings in every sentence. She probably fell in love with Xuan Ye, so she cared so much whether the emperor gave her I took the medicine.

"I will take good care of my body. I want to have my own child. Eighth Prince is cute, but he is not my child. It is pitiful for Jue Chan to be around. I don't want to deprive her of the right to be a mother." Concubine Wen smiled slightly. , as if full of daydreams about the future, "I want to live a better life than my sister, and live a magnanimous life. Just looking at you, I feel that there is hope in life. Don't worry, I won't fight with you, and I have long been against you." You said, I will not harm you. I know you are afraid of me in your heart, and people outside also say that I am yin and yang, but I don't care, as long as I can live happily, it will be fine. "

Lan Qi lowered her head and said softly: "In the past, my body was weak and cold, and my concubine followed the empress dowager to take medicine for recuperation. After a year and a half, there will be fourth elder brother and sixth elder brother. The empress is still so young. If you take care of yourself, you will be fine. Get up. Now the Empress Dowager knows about this matter, and the concubines also know about it, no matter who did it, the Compassionate Ning Palace will not ignore it, you should take care of your health with peace of mind."

Concubine Wen asked, "Concubine De, then tell me, should I ask the emperor about this in person?"
