Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi has been pampered all these years. Although she is in good health, she can't stand this kind of punishment. Although she can hear the Western clock ringing, she doesn't know how much time has passed. She really can't bear it. From crying to crying, and then she sat down The old mother also saw that she was very pitiful, so she didn't stop her, but instead looked outside, for fear that the Empress Dowager would come in suddenly.

Fortunately, there was a movement at last, when they heard the announcement of the emperor's arrival from outside, the old mother hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please bear with me, the Long Live Lord is here." She wanted to pull Lanqi to kneel up, but she couldn't stand upright anyway , fell to the ground shaking his head and crying, "I can't feel my legs, I can't get up."

While talking, the emperor came like the wind, and when he entered the door, he saw her like this, took a few steps up and hugged her to sit on the kang, Xuan Ye knew that Lan Qi didn't like to cry very much, and crying like this must be unbearable, her heart ached so much, But the old mammy was still chattering on the sidelines: "Master Long Live, you should go to the Great Buddha Hall to see the Empress Dowager first, the servants don't dare to let the Empress Dowager get up."

Lan Qi saw that the emperor was about to get angry, so she stopped and persuaded: "The emperor first go to intercede with his concubine, and don't annoy the empress dowager anymore."

"Then don't kneel anymore, the small stick is taken away by the big stick, are you a fool? There is something wrong with kneeling, how can the emperor's grandmother bear it?" Xuan Ye was so angry that he didn't allow Lan Qi to come down again, and asked Mr. Li to watch. After going back and forth to the Great Buddha Hall, I saw Madam Su Mala waiting in front of the door, so I made up my mind, and then walked slowly into the Buddha Hall.

The sandalwood in the Buddhist hall was quiet, and Xuan Ye's impatience gradually calmed down. After saluting behind the Empress Dowager, he heard his grandmother say: "You came in with a sense of impatience. Sit down and calm down before you speak."

"Yes." Xuan Ye did not dare to disobey, and sat down on the futon with his grandmother. The grandparents and grandchildren were silent for a while, and the empress dowager put away the Buddhist beads in her hands. Seeing that he was about to get up, Xuan Ye hurried to help him.The tentacles touched my grandmother's arm, and I was startled. I don't know if it was because of the warmer weather and the fewer clothes, or the emperor's grandmother had lost weight again. I always felt that my grandmother's body was much lighter than before, and her arms were thinner. It's all white.

Xuan Ye was a little dazed, he knew that he was negligent, he always felt that the emperor's grandmother was still the same as 20 years ago, sheltering himself from the wind and rain, looking down upon the courtiers without fear, although he knew that the grandmother was getting old, but it was the first time because of what he saw in his eyes The old and shocked to the soul.

"Gradually, I can't keep up with you about the affairs of the court. Tsarist Russia in the north and Taiwan in the south. I heard a few old ministers talking about it during the holidays. The Empress Dowager walked out holding her grandson's hand, and said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager is really going to take care of herself for the rest of her life. Every day is very nourishing. You don't know anything outside. If you want to lie to me, you can't hide it from me." Easily, I'm old and not as shrewd as I used to be."

"Grandmother, my grandson knows I was wrong." Xuan Ye said softly, the grandparents and grandson stopped, and the empress dowager gave him a look, "What are you wrong, how can the emperor make mistakes? Did I hear wrong?"

Xuan Ye took a step back and knelt and said, "Grandmother, please calm down, my grandson is wrong, and I will never dare to lie to you about anything in the future."

"Get up, Son of Heaven, what are you kneeling for?"

"The grandson kneels down to his grandmother, and I kneel down."

"Get up." The empress dowager looked angry, Xuan Ye held his head up to see him, he didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, he just listened to his grandmother's words earnestly, "I can live a few more years, I will work hard all my life, and I am willing to spend my old age happily, you can't hide it from me Which one is not for my own good, you are afraid that I will be anxious when Longxi is gone, and you will do everything possible to hide it, the emperor knows that my grandson loves me."

Xuan Ye helped his grandmother again, and they walked out of the Great Buddha Hall together. The people outside followed from a distance. Ye, how old are you, and what are you doing seriously in Li Gong this time? No matter how much you miss Lan Qi, there's no need to do this, not to mention anything else, if something happens to her on the way there, you won't have time to regret it."

"Yes, my grandson has reflected on it, and I don't dare to do it anymore." Xuan Ye blindly subdued, not daring to contradict a word, and only waited for his grandmother to say that Chang Ning would also be called to reprimand him, before he said with a smile, "Grandmother reprimanded him, From now on, we brothers will have a rift."

While talking, he entered the bedroom and saw Lan Qi sitting on the kang. When he saw them entering the door, he was anxious to get off the kang, but his legs were weak and he fell directly to the ground. The fall was not light, and the empress dowager and Xuan Ye was stunned, and when he recovered and saw the palace maid hurriedly hugging her up, the Empress Dowager first scolded: "Who allowed you to get up, kneel down for me."

Lan Qi was so frightened that she was at a loss, Xuan Ye stopped her and said, "Grandmother, please spare her."

The Empress Dowager sat at the side, and waved her hand to signal the maids and eunuchs to go down. Seeing that Lan Qi's face was covered in makeup, and her eyes were red, she must have cried. She felt distressed and angry, and reprimanded in a low voice, "You deserve it."

Xuan Ye said gently: "Only grandson and Lan Qi are here, the imperial grandmother doesn't have to worry about anything, you can just blame, grandson is wrong."

"You are indeed wrong. Lan Qi has no brains. She can't do this kind of thing even if she thinks about it. She doesn't know how to make a decision, so why don't you come and ask me?" The Empress Dowager scolded angrily. How many days have passed, my temper here is almost gone, thanks to you coming today, if you come two days earlier, instead of kneeling in the room, I will let you kneel outside the gate of Compassionate Ning Palace."

Lan Qi's head was almost down to her chest, and her knees were in pain. In the past, when she was tortured by such and other people, she never felt so uncomfortable, but today she was reprimanded and punished to kneel when she entered the door. Every word of the Empress Dowager was shaken. she.Thinking about it carefully, although those three days were happy and happy, they did cause a lot of troubles. How could it be that I lightly said "the emperor doesn't care?" Also get hotheaded.

The empress dowager knew that both of them were smart people, so she didn't need to admonish them too much, so she just added a few words: "Since you came to me, what I have said most is not to get carried away, and now I want to remind you again, don't heal your scars. Forget the pain, how dare you forget..."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lan Qi responded quickly. She sat very close to the Empress Dowager, reached out and grabbed the old grandmother's sleeve and said, "My elder brother and princesses have grown up. You have to face, otherwise the children will be fine, and if you are a mother-in-law, you will always be punished, so what face will you have to teach the children in the future."

The old man laughed, reached out and nodded her head: "Just keep it in my mind. When Xuan Ye is impulsive and confused in the future, you must calm down. You said that you two really want to go out of the palace to play for a few days, so be generous." Just go to the ground, who's face is up to you? It's so dangerous, what's the matter with you on the way, who will serve me in the future?"

"But... those few days were fun." Lan Qi still had tears on her face, and she was suffering from pain in her knees, but she smiled happily and said proudly, "I know I was wrong, so I will not dare to do it next time." Yes, but I don't regret it, I don't want anything to happen, I told you don't get angry, even if I knelt to death today, I didn't regret it, I think it's good that I left with Prince Gong that day."

After hearing this, Xuan Ye scolded Lan Qi: "Why are you talking, you really have to kneel outside the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning to be sensible?"

But the Empress Dowager laughed: "Why are you so anxious, don't you just like her like this?"

A few words between grandparents and grandchildren resolved the conflict, the empress dowager said what she should say, Xuan Ye also knew that she was wrong, and then said a few important things, Auntie Su Mala invited the imperial doctor to heal Lan Qi, they went to When the empress dowager and the emperor were left alone, the old man straightened his face and said, "Seeing the imperial doctor, I remembered something. I couldn't find any clue after checking here, so I just put it down and waited for you to come back. These few days You are too busy with the things ahead, so I don't want to bother you."

Xuanye thought it was Guo Luoluo's matter, so he comforted his grandmother: "You are talking about Yipin's illness, grandson will go to see it in a few days, that's what you mean. Her sister is much better, don't worry."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, looked straight at her grandson and said, "Xuanye, let me ask you, did you let Concubine Wen use contraception? Now she found out by herself, and she came to me to beg for the decision."

Xuan Ye's eyebrows trembled, he pursed his lips and did not answer, and with his appearance, the Empress Dowager knew that it was meaningless to ask, so she closed her eyes heavily and sighed: "You...what can I say."

"Grandmother."

"Come on." The Empress Dowager looked at her grandson sternly, but she was very considerate of him when she said, "Bring this matter to Mingzhu Mansion, I don't need to teach you how to do it? You can't say yes to Lan Qi either. Your idea, let alone Concubine Wen, this matter ends here, it is the malice of Mingzhu Mansion and Concubine Hui, and has nothing to do with you. Ri Lanqi was also there that day, if she asked you, you must not tell the truth, you would scare her."

Xuan Ye's eyes were deep, it's not like he just said "the grandson is wrong" just because of the trip, now he really has his own persistence, he can't disobey his grandmother, but he never wants to admit that he is wrong, he has his own schemes , the emperor's grandmother was worried about the wrath of the gods, but he did not kill the son, but just let Concubine Wen prevent pregnancy.

"Yes, I remember." Xuan Ye promised, at this moment, Madam Su Ma came from another place and said that the concubine concubine had finished the medicine and was about to go back. The empress dowager asked the emperor to go too, and she wanted to be clean Qingjing, Xuanye got up to leave, and after walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Don't be angry, grandma, grandson will not let her take medicine again, and neither will other concubines in the future."

The Empress Dowager said: "I believe you, but Xuanye, do you believe yourself? I advised you not to cut off your own children before, not just because you were worried about retribution from gods and Buddhas. Think about it, if those women found out that you were the one Where are you going to save your face? Could it be that the dignified emperor is afraid of his courtiers to the point of preventing women from getting pregnant? The real Mingjun is afraid of any disturbance from his relatives. Your servants, your servants, the more you do things that make them feel that you are jealous of the power of your relatives, the more complacent they will be, if you want to do it, you must not leave a trace."

Xuan Ye stood upright to listen to the training. He didn't fully agree with what the emperor's grandmother said, but when he thought of his grandmother's oldness when he touched her body in the Buddhist hall, he couldn't bear her to worry about him. I guarantee that such a thing will not happen again, so the grandparents and grandsons have not broken up unhappy.

But Xuan Ye's displeasure was noticed by Lan Qi, and they went back to the Yonghe Palace together, Xuan Ye said that he would rest here in the afternoon, but his face was always tense, Lan Qi looked at it for a long time, and saw that he was really not doing it for her knee Worried, he finally asked, "The emperor is listening to the government today, is there anything unhappy?"

Xuan Ye regained his composure, shook his head and said no, and casually asked her how her knee injury was, saying she was too stupid, but after going around for a long time Lan Qi still said: "If the emperor leaves the Yonghe Palace like this, others will also be able to see it if they see it." The emperor has something on his mind, you don’t want to know if you don’t tell the concubine, but pardon the concubine’s impoliteness, it’s not very good for you to go to other places to meet others like this.”

Xuan Ye smiled wryly: "You're sensible." He stretched out his hand to touch her knee, and seeing her frowning, felt very distressed, but the words of the emperor's grandmother just now were still lingering, so he asked her, "Concubine Wen's tonic was dropped by someone?" , you also know?"

Lan Qi was startled, she nodded and said nothing, her heart was pounding, it seemed that the empress dowager mentioned this matter, no wonder the emperor's face was ugly, was he angry, or was it?

"I will investigate who made it, and you have to be careful. The medicine in Yonghe Palace is not in the hands of a special person, so don't take it casually." Xuan Ye sighed quietly, hugged Lan Qi to his side, and lifted her legs Gently stroking her knees to disperse the bruises for her, while exhorting, "This matter should not be publicized, you don't have to explain anything to Concubine Wen, I will let someone take care of her."

Lan Qi felt that Xuan Ye's words meant that she didn't want her to associate with Xianfu Palace, anyway, she herself didn't like it, so she responded softly: "The concubine understands, you just don't know about this matter as a concubine. "

Xuan Ye nodded, for a moment he wanted to tell Lan Qi the truth, she has always been the best listener around him, but what the emperor's grandmother said made him hesitate, he was also worried that Lan Qi was afraid of him, and worried that his too cold-blooded wrist would hurt her. Scared her, after thinking about it again and again, she gave up.

Fortunately, Lan Qi really didn't mention it anymore. Xuan Ye couldn't imagine that Lan Qi didn't mention Concubine Wen because she knew her true feelings for her. It was a woman's selfishness, and she thought Lan Qi was a considerate person. He didn't want to hear something muttering " Concubine Wen is very pitiful", she really didn't say a word, it was all in Xuan Ye's heart.

The emperor had lunch in the Yonghe Palace, and because there were no courtiers to receive a badge to enter the palace in the afternoon, he asked Lan Qi to sleep and recuperate, and at the same time asked Li Gonggong to send the book here to read. He felt sleepy and heard Yin Zuo's movement , came to accompany his son, the father and son were having a good time, and Eunuch Li frowned to report, saying something inexplicable.

Well done, Concubine Wen went to Chengqian Palace and asked Concubine Tong to give her some pear blossoms. Everyone knew that the pear blossoms in Chengqian Palace in the Forbidden City were the best. Of course Concubine Tong would not be stingy with a few pear blossoms, but how did she know Wen The concubine would climb up by herself, but when she fell from the tree, Concubine Wen passed away on the spot.
