Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

It was dark at night, and Lan Qi couldn't see anything clearly. The little eunuch beside her had excellent eyesight, and said, "There are two people. Madam, look at the one on the shore and the other in the water."

Saying this, she approached without knowing it, and she saw two people who looked like little maids, one of whom was splashing and laughing in the water: "Come down quickly, it's getting colder, the water is so clean."

The one on the shore was timid, and said timidly, "Come up quickly, it will be a disaster if Mammy finds us."

Lan Qi looked at the vague figure with a smile, she had a naughty heart but no naughty courage when she was a court lady, she only let out her playful nature when she became the emperor's woman, and rolled in the snow The wet clothes were caught by Xuan Ye, and he was still happy to be scolded to death, but in a blink of an eye, he had two children. On the one hand, he had to be stable as a mother, but when he faced Xuan Ye on the other hand, he still thought that he was a child. Twenty-eight little girls are like girls, after all, they were spoiled by the emperor.

"Let's go, I'm just a playful court lady." Lan Qi didn't intend to stop them, and was about to leave with someone, but before she crossed the water bridge, she heard a man's voice scolding: "Where is the court lady?" Come up quickly, are you afraid of drowning?"

Lan Qi stopped again, and the father-in-law next to him ran forward to take a look, and came back to report: "There are guards patrolling the past, and the two maids have been brought up. Don't worry, empress, the nanny who is in charge will come and take them away later." .”

Xiangyue beside her heard it, and couldn't help but yelled: "Now that they are led back by their mothers, their ass will suffer. If they are beaten hard, they won't be able to sit on the bench for three or four days."

"It's hot, don't break it." Lan Qi was kind-hearted, so she ordered the people around her, "Bring them back to my place, clean them up first, and wait for the nanny in charge to come. Let me persuade you, the empress dowager. You and the queen mother are both here, so there is no need to fight."

After saying that, Lan Qi went back, first Xuan Ye left in a hurry, she was sweating all over, Xuan Ye said that she would come over at night, she had to take a bath and change her clothes, and clean up after she was refreshed, only wearing the clothes that the emperor gave her a few days ago Her Hanfu gauze.

Xuan Ye has always liked Han culture, and he also likes the fluttering clothes of Han women. On a whim that day, he bought this light gauze dress and asked Lan Qi to wear it as pajamas in the room at night. It fits perfectly, Lan Qi's figure is slim and soft, under the candlelight, under the tulle, the crystal clear skin is faintly visible, it makes Xuan Ye look crazy, if he is coming tonight, Lan Qi naturally changed into this one.

A green gauze screen was set up in the room, and Lan Qi walked around the screen and sat down. Outside the screen, two little maids were kneeling on the ground. They had already changed into clean clothes, but they were terrified to see them, and they were hazy through the green gauze. Seeing them trembling, Lan Qi smiled: "Are you scared now? How happy you were to jump into the water just now. You guys are too courageous. Don't say that you shouldn't play in the water, just say that you fell into the water so darkly, in case What if you can't get up with cramped feet? The water is deep."

The court lady kneeling outside thought she would be scolded, but who knew that Empress Debi was so gentle and spoke with a smile, the two of them glanced at each other, very relieved.

But before they could thank them, the nanny who was in charge outside the door came in, knowing that she had disturbed De Concubine, as if she was frightened, she kicked the two girls on the buttocks when she entered the door, and apologized to De Concubine, saying that she did not discipline her servants well.The nun crouched on the ground and chattered: "The two girls only came to Yingtai in the spring. They are young and ignorant, and the servants beat and scold them every day and they can't control their temper. I hope the empress will not be offended. The servants will teach them severely when they go back."

Huan Chun came over and whispered a few words beside Lan Qi, hoping that the master could just say a few words. These nuns have their own way of disciplining their subordinates. Afterwards, it is not easy for them to train servants.Lan Qi also thought this was the reason, so she smiled leisurely and said to the nanny: "It's not a big deal at all, the little girl always has fun, since I brought him back, please take care of me For the sake of face, don't punish too severely, after all, the empress dowager and the empress dowager are here, and people like the Buddha can't be beaten and killed."

The old mammy kowtowed, and Huan Chun went to get some benefits. She didn't want the nanny to speak ill of her master behind her back, so she sent them away after a while. When she came back, she said with a smile: "The two girls have been twisted." If you walk with your ears closed, you will still have to be beaten when you go back, it looks pitiful, but which little maid didn't come here like this, if you want to suffer less physical pain, you have to be more obedient."

Lan Qi also laughed and said, "So Xiangyue was the first one to speak out just now, isn't she being scolded by you every day?" Just as she was joking about Xiangyue's childlike temper after so many years, Lan Qi suddenly thought of Huanchun's age, and pulled She asked, "It's time for you to leave the palace, isn't it?"

Huan Chun was stunned, and when he understood the meaning of the word "leaving the palace", there was an indescribable emotion on his face, he lowered his head and said: "Counting the days, the maidservant should leave the palace at the end of the year."

Lan Qi is full of reluctance, but she can't keep Huanchun in this palace forever, she should also go out of the palace to live her own life, get married and have children and stop serving others.But Huanchun is gone, and there is no capable person around her. It is unrealistic for her to enter the palace after giving birth. After thinking about it, even if there are new people by her side in the future, she will have to leave after a long time. According to her heart , I will never have the heart to restrain people in the palace.

"Although the wish when I entered the palace was to leave the palace as soon as possible, but now this servant can't bear to part with you. When Aunt Su Mala sent the servant here, she also told the servant that if she stays in the palace with a good master, it won't be bad for the rest of her life. I don’t know if the man is good or not. If I am unlucky enough to meet someone who is not good enough, I will beat my wife and scold my children for a hard life. I have no hope in my life.” Huan Chun’s face was full of contradictions, and he said frankly, “But The slaves will also think that if they meet a good person, they will be blessed."

After saying this sentence, he hastily explained to Lan Qi: "Master, don't misunderstand the meaning of the servant girl. It is also my blessing to serve you. These are two different things."

Lan Qi nodded again and again: "How could I misunderstand you? When I entered the palace, I was only looking forward to leaving the palace. Even if I had a relationship with Sister Bu, I didn't plan to be with her forever. My mother said when she sent me into the palace. , Wait for me to go out and find a good family for me."

Huan Chun said reverently again: "Master, I haven't made up my mind yet, if I do, I can talk to you about it? If I want to stay in the palace to serve you for the rest of my life, don't you dare to leave? Just like Like Aunt Su Mala, she will be with the Empress Dowager for the rest of her life."

"If you want to leave, I will never stay. If you don't want to leave, I will treat you as a sister for the rest of my life." Lan Qi also spoke frankly. She really didn't want Huanchun to leave. There is still a while to think about it, but Lan Qi can't let it go tonight, and then she waits for Xuan Ye to come alone, leaning on the bed and thinking about it over and over again, wondering what will happen to her after Huan Chunruo leaves, just waiting for the emperor When it arrived, she didn't notice it either.

When Xuan Ye came in, he saw Lan Qi leaning on the couch under the window in gauze, her slender body and snow-white skin were vaguely visible in the gauze, the candlelight was flickering, the beauty on the couch was so beautiful and delicious, it moved Xuan Ye's heart, so he bullied her. He hugged her and asked gently: "Which beauty sleeps here, but is she waiting for her husband?"

Lan Qi just found out that the emperor was coming, turned over and sat up, but she had no interest, and pouted her mouth. Seeing that the emperor was still wearing clothes outside, she reached out to untie it for him, but Xuan Ye grabbed her hand, and nodded her pouted. He pursed his lips, and said displeasedly: "What's the matter? I've been getting angry at every turn recently, and I've become more and more tempered. How many times have I said this? If you have any unhappy things, you can say it. Could it be that even the emperor can't make decisions for you? gone."

But Lan Qi insisted on pulling Xuan Ye to change clothes, and called the little eunuch to prepare for bathing. When Xuan Ye was taking a bath, she sat on the side and rubbed her shoulders before saying: "The concubine suddenly remembered that Huan Chun was going out of the palace. I am old, and if things go well, I will leave the palace at the end of the year, how long the concubine has been with the emperor, Huan Chun has been with the concubine for as long, now I have to leave, maybe I will never see you again in the future, can the concubine feel better?"

But Xuan Ye said: "There are many people who stay in the palace and don't leave, so why don't you leave Huan Chun behind?"

"Then how can it be, because the concubine likes her, she will serve others for the rest of her life? There are still rules in the palace to let people go, how can the concubine restrain her for the rest of her life." Lan Qi leaned on Xuan Ye's shoulder and said, "The concubine will Worry about yourself for a while, the person really left, there will be feelings for a newcomer, the mother will definitely pick out capable people for the concubine, you don't have to worry about the concubine, as for the ugly face just now, did the concubine forcefully laugh , the emperor is willing?"

"I just said a word." Xuan Ye snorted angrily, "Your mouth is getting stronger and stronger, come here and let me have a look."

Lan Qi was pulled hard by the emperor, and half of her body fell into the bathtub, her gauze was soaked and stuck to her arms. She yelled to struggle to get away, but Xuan Ye pulled her hard again and dragged her in. The clothes were all attached to the body at once, and the gauze was soaked in water and wrapped transparently around the body, with boundless beauty, which made Xuan Ye feel hot when he saw it.

In midsummer night, the mandarin ducks were playing in the water, and they were lingering for several times. Lan Qi felt that her bones were going to be soft. How could she remember the sadness of Huan Chun's parting? Talking to others, and Huanchun did not pretend to be others, and cleaned up the mess in the house by herself. In private, Lan Qi pulled her and said: "It's you and I can rest assured. If others see me, I can't lift my head."

Huan Chun has long been used to it, so she just coaxed the master to smile: "This is because the Lord Long Live loves you, the master is more proud, why can't you hold your head up?"

Naturally, Lan Qi didn't follow her, she couldn't talk to outsiders about her boudoir, it's no wonder she couldn't bear Huanchun, after resting for a long time, Lan Qi went to the Empress Dowager to serve her lunch, took an umbrella and walked all the way, suddenly there was a brittle voice on the way. The voice shouted: "Mrs. Depin."
