Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Everyone followed the prestige, and there was a young maid standing under the sun, she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in the clothes of a low-ranking court lady, Lan Qi heard the voice familiar, and the maid stopped when she saw the concubine , hurriedly approached a few steps and bowed his knees to salute, Huan Chun recognized him, and asked: "Aren't you the maid who played with water last night, why are you here to see your mother now?"

The palace maid raised her head timidly and was very happy to see Lan Qi's gentle face, with a look of admiration in her eyes, then she handed over a purse with both hands, and said a little nervously: "Thank you, Madam Debi, for your kindness. The empress spoke for the servants last night, the servants will be miserable, this purse was embroidered by the servants themselves, if the empress does not dislike it..."

"Huanchun, bring it here for me." Lan Qi asked Huanchun to bring the purse without waiting for the little lady-in-waiting to finish speaking. After that, she looked through it carefully and praised, "Very exquisite craftsmanship, your little one You are very capable at a young age, but in the future, you have to do things well with Mammy, don't be too playful, if you get into trouble next time, if no one speaks for you, you will be punished."

The little palace maid was very clever, bowed her head and kowtowed and said she remembered. Seeing that the concubine not only accepted the purse but also praised her craftsmanship, she happily stepped aside and waited for the concubine to go first. Lan Qi then told her not to get sunstroke Then he brought someone to the Empress Dowager, and Huanchun asked Huanchun to put away the purse, and said to go back and pack some wormwood to repel mosquitoes.

When they came to the Empress Dowager, the concubines and the princesses were already there. It seemed that Rong Xian reprimanded Yinzhi for being ignorant and grabbing things with Yinqi. The son-in-law must be afraid of guilt, the little girl was shy and acted like a spoiled child, Yin Zhi took the opportunity to laugh at her sister, and the siblings fought and rolled into a ball, Rong Xian's face was actually cut with a fingernail by his younger brother.

This time the quarrel became unpleasant, causing the imperial physicians to make a fuss. Xuan Ye came over in the afternoon and looked at it. He felt sorry for the cut on his daughter's face, and reprimanded Yin Zhi severely, saying that he is a man who is easy to do things to women. The elder brother and the prince also called over, telling them to teach the younger brother in the future, Yin Zhi was pitifully punished, and when he was so wronged, he pestered the concubine Duan to find his mother.

It turned out that the children were having fun together, the Empress Dowager felt so bored when she saw Xuan Ye was angry, so she asked Concubine Duan to lead the children away, leaving only Lan Qi behind.Knowing that Xuanye hadn't had lunch yet, she went to bring chicken soup noodles, but she heard the empress dowager blame the emperor: "Don't reprimand children in front of so many people, children need face, even if you feel sorry for your daughter." Too used to it, Rong Xian is still an older sister, so it makes sense for her to fight with her younger brother? This girl has been powerful since she was a child, so you should control her too."

Xuan Ye just smiled and said: "They are relying on being favored by the great-grandmother, so I am not willing to listen to what I say."

Lan Qi put down the noodle soup and let the emperor eat first, the empress dowager smiled again and said, "I can't train you now, there are such loving people around me."

Last night's charming lingering feeling still lingered on his body. When Xuan Ye saw Lan Qi, he felt sweet in his heart. He looked at her with a smile, and when he took the chopsticks from her hand, he gently shook it. The old man didn't see the Empress Dowager, but she still gave a shy and anxious look, then turned around and sat down beside the Empress Dowager to play a fan.

"I heard that Nalan Rongruo came to Yingtai to work?" The Empress Dowager suddenly mentioned this matter, not caring that Lan Qi was by her side, and asked Xuan Ye, "Has the matter between him and that woman been resolved? It's really ridiculous, he really has the ability to make his mother-in-law beg to the Queen Mother, why didn't she come to beg me?"

Xuan Ye ate the noodles, not caring, drank two sips of soup and swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and then responded to the emperor's grandmother: "I will remind him not to let her mother go to the palace all the time, and the emperor's grandmother should not be angry. It was his mother-in-law who went to bother the emperor's mother without permission, relying on her own ability, Rong Ruo has always been by my side by virtue of her ability, and ignored his mother."

The empress dowager also knew about it, but the old man thought it was unfilial, so he mentioned it: "I heard that he and Mingzhu have always been at odds, such an unfilial person, the emperor should be careful when using him."

Xuan Ye had swallowed a bowl of noodles in twos and twos, sweating profusely. The empress dowager pushed Lan Qi over to fan the emperor. Their eyes met with tenderness. Lan Qi hurriedly avoided and just stood aside. Fan him up.

A court lady came to wash her mouth and wash her hands, Xuan Ye gradually stopped sweating, and then sat down beside her grandmother, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, think about it, Mingzhu is my important minister, Rong is my capable minister, and if father and son are in harmony, It may not be a good thing for me, if they are not harmonious, they will compete with each other, and my grandson will not be afraid that their father and son will join forces and gain power. Although father and son are not harmonious, it is against ethics, but I really hope that they will not be harmonious."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and smiled contentedly, "My Xuan Ye can now be the Pope's grandmother."

Xuan Ye was in a very good mood, and had a lot of conversations with his grandmother. Now that there are frequent reports of success in Yunnan, the celebration banquet in July is imperative. Grandmother will definitely be present at that time, saying that she is the real mother of the Qing Dynasty.

The grandparents and grandson were talking happily, Lan Qi was concentrating on playing the fan beside her, and suddenly Ding Xuanye said to her: "Why are you just standing there and giggling, do you understand what I said to the emperor's grandmother?"

Of course Lan Qi didn't fully understand, knowing that Xuan Ye was bullying her again, she closed her fan and sat next to the Empress Dowager, the old man was overjoyed, and told them to flirt elsewhere, just as she was tired too.

Xuan Ye said: "Grandson still has government affairs, come and have a look and you have to leave, the emperor's grandmother had better keep her, otherwise if it rains later, she will go into the rain again, you watch over for grandson she."

Lan Qi didn't dare to talk back, if the two of them were in private, she would have greeted the emperor for a car, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the empress dowager, she puffed her cheeks and endured it, soon the emperor left, and the empress dowager lay crooked on the couch Then, Lan Qi fanned and thumped her waist and legs, and the two talked for a while without saying a word.

Lan Qi originally wanted to coax the old man to fall asleep and go to see the children at Concubine Duan's, but the Empress Dowager just took a nap, woke up and remembered something, and saw that there was no irrelevant person in the room, so she told Lan Qi Qi said: "If I don't like this Nalan Rong, he will still walk in the palace in the future. If I can't take care of him, you have to watch out for the emperor. The women in the harem will inevitably be unfaithful. , They don't love themselves and others can't control them, but I can't tolerate anyone embarrassing the emperor. Whenever such things happen in the future, you must be ruthless and kill one, and you must not tolerate it."

Lan Qi was startled when she heard that, she only briefly mentioned the matter of the Jue Chan family to Aunt Su Mala. She didn't know if there was a tacit understanding between the aunty and the Empress Dowager, and she had never talked to the Empress Dowager halfway. This word, no matter what the empress dowager thinks of her at this moment, the matter is entrusted to her. These words are obviously aimed at Jue Chan, although it refers to the entire harem, but to be honest, how many women dare to have Alien?

"Are you scared?" The Empress Dowager laughed, "The emperor has so many women, how can he manage it? It's normal to have one or two shameless ones, but it's just that others don't know about it, so it's best for Xuanye to have none. , if there is, this is something that must not be tolerated, it is the face of your husband and your child, Amma, you know?"

Lan Qi nodded, and answered with a ruthless heart: "If one day the concubine is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, I will definitely obey your words, never tolerate, and never let the palace make jokes that embarrass the Long Live Lord."

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied, and sighed slightly, "Then I can rest assured. It's a pity that Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen are two. What's the use of a noble birth, nothing is worth entrusting."

In this case, Lan Qi didn't dare to talk anymore. It didn't take long for Madam Su Mala to come back from her afternoon nap, and then she got out to see the child at the concubine Duan's place. Yinzuo had been there for the past few days, the little guy and brothers and sisters She had a good time, but Xuanye couldn't come over tonight, so she carried her back to her room.

Whoever wants to enter the door sees the wet nurse leading the fourth elder brother out, Yinzhen's face is full of disappointment, when he sees his younger brother coming back, he happily throws the wet nurse's hand and runs over, throwing himself on Lan Qi's knees, waiting for her The younger brother put it down, took Yinzuo's hand and said, "Xinzhen wants to play with younger brother, Empress De, stay here tonight..."

The fourth elder brother can talk a lot now, and every time Lan Qi sees him, she feels that she has grown up a lot. I don't know what the concubine is trying to teach him now, at least she has never seen the fourth elder brother have any inappropriate words or deeds.There are some children who are naughty and coquettish, but in the past, the nobleman and concubine Hui said that they were arrogant and domineering, but the concubine wanted to drive him out of the palace to teach him a lesson because the fourth elder brother scratched the nurse's arm. The imperial concubine's methods are a bit out of place, but she is indeed teaching the children with all her heart, and Lan Qi is more and more at ease.

"Ms. De has been living here. It's the first time for the fourth elder brother to come back. Have you taken a nap yet? Look, you are covered in sweat. Yingtai is much more interesting than the palace, isn't it?" Lan Qi said, holding a handkerchief for her. The son wiped his sweat, and Yinzuo's nurse next to him said, "The fourth elder brother and the imperial concubine have been arguing all afternoon, and they want to see the sixth elder brother. The imperial concubine asked the slave to bring it over. She said that if she had fun, it would be fine if she didn't go back." , please take care of Empress Debi."

"You send someone to answer the call, just say please don't worry, I will take care of it." Lan Qi was very happy, she never thought that the two people who used to be incompatible with her and the imperial concubine could now have a tacit understanding. It’s really gone, although her temper is still not very good, and her temper is still arrogant and domineering, but it seems that her heart has become softer after having a child. The things that tortured low-level concubines in the past are gone, even if a few Mongolian princesses said it in person last time. Chan is the prettiest. Although she was displeased, she didn't think of Jue Chan afterwards. If it had been a few years earlier, Jue Chan would have suffered.

Yinzhen pulled Yinzuo and turned around and went back into the house. The little brother walked fast, dragging the clumsy younger brother behind, Yinzuo couldn't keep up, and fell down when he crossed the threshold, crying loudly in fright.Yinzhen was at a loss and stood on the side watching, she was about to cry, Lan Qi hurriedly coaxed her two children into her arms, feeling full of intuition.
