Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xuan Ye moved his body inward, patted the vacant space, and said softly: "Then you lie down with me for a while."

Lan Qi's face was flushed, it was broad daylight, and there were palace maids and eunuchs behind her waiting to serve her. She lay down majestically, and she didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Huan Chun was right behind her. Seeing the others retreat, the room was silent for a moment, Xuan Ye stretched out his hand again, Lan Qi lay down, the two lay side by side, she tilted her head and said, "Just lie down for a while."

But Lan Qi stayed up all night and worked hard to serve people. The drunk people were almost powerless. It took her a lot of effort just to change the emperor's clothes and wipe her body. Even though she was not tired mentally, her body was also tired. The muscles and bones were stretched, and there were waves of drowsiness, but he still managed to hold on and said: "Is the emperor hungry? Let's get up and have some porridge before continuing to rest."

Xuan Ye, however, watched her getting sleepy with great interest, her fair face was flushed, her eyelashes were flickering, she was about to close up and fall asleep at some point, he lifted the gauze quilt and put a corner on her stomach, She came up and pecked Lan Qi's lips, and said gently: "Sleep, I'll be with you."

Lan Qi didn't want to sleep at first, but she couldn't bear the fatigue of her body. After being coaxed like this, her eyelids became weaker and weaker. She reached out and wanted to touch Xuan Ye, but she fell asleep at some point. After a kiss, when she woke up comfortably from the dream, she didn't know when, but she saw that the sun was still shining brightly outside the window, and she walked under the window to look at the direction of the shadow of the sun, and realized that it was already afternoon.

When the people outside heard the movement, they filed in one by one, holding water and holding a towel to wait for Lan Qi to wash up. Huan Chun told her: "You fell asleep for a long time, and the Long Live Lord got up and said that there are still soldiers to see. Consummation, there are still many things about rewards for meritorious deeds, these few days will not be idle. If you are willing to stay in Hanyuan Hall, then you can stay. If you think it is not appropriate, you can go back to your own place, or go to Taihuang It is also possible for the empress dowager to be in front of her."

Lan Qi murmured softly, "I'm still talking about being free for a few days."

Huan Chun smiled: "Then the empress will stay. Anyway, there are no other empresses in Yingtai now. The Empress Dowager has asked you to stay for a few days, so you will stay here."

Lan Qi looked at her with a smile, she still felt that something was wrong, but she also thought that she had stayed in Qianqing Palace for three or four days without going out, so she couldn't do it in Yingtai, and Yin Zuo was with the Empress Dowager, she Feeling relieved, I agreed after thinking about it.Later, when the maids and eunuchs were cleaning the bedroom, she was sitting on the porch blowing the air and drinking tea. When she was relaxing, she heard a nun scolding the little maid at the other end.

Lan Qi walked over with her round fan lightly, and the nanny over there was turning her back to her, saying: "What are you, dare to go to the Hanyuan Palace, is there a place for you to serve here, all the little foxes with brains What are you thinking, think I don’t know? When you are a master like Empress Debi and Empress Rong, want to fly on the branch and become a phoenix? Don’t take a mirror to look at it. You bastard, get out of here, and let me see you again. I'm here to poke your head and peel off your skin."

"But mother, servant..."

"Still talking back?" There was a loud slap, and before the little maid could finish speaking, she received a hot slap on the face, and her weak body couldn't bear it and fell backwards, but she saw Mammy like this Debi behind him shouted out: "Ms. Debi?"

The nanny was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Depin standing behind her clinging to her fan, with a gentle smile on her face, but she was extremely embarrassed, and was about to bow her knees to plead guilty, when she heard Depin's empress say: "The little maid should be disciplined, Although Yingtai is not in the Forbidden City, he still acts according to the rules of the palace, doesn't he? Mammy taught them a lesson, greeted her buttocks, how good would it be if she broke her face and disturbed Shengjia? Mammy, go to the bedroom to have a look, Huan Chun and the others don’t know how to smoke the house, they stomped their feet anxiously, waiting for your advice.”

"Yes, yes, this servant will pass right away, it's just this little hooves..." Mammy covered her mouth in a hurry, thinking about what she just said, she is already well enough not to care about her, she didn't dare to say more, and immediately went to the bedroom to go.

Lan Qi sat down on the edge, and seeing the nanny walking away, she smiled and said to the little palace maid: "Why are you again, what are you doing in Hanyuan Hall, your little sister is here? Go back quickly, Nanny We are in a hurry, if you really hit you, I can't stop you."

This court lady was still the child who was playing in the water that night. There were tears in the corners of her eyes at this moment. I don't know if she was moved by Debi's gentleness or was wronged by the nanny. She wiped away her tears but crawled over and knelt down. She took out a small purse, found an emerald earring in her hand, and said timidly: "That day, my servant was waiting for my mother by the side of the road. After you passed by, my servant picked up this earring on the road. I vaguely remember that it was you wearing it. Pick it up." I want to return it to the empress, the maidservant is the maid who cleans at the back of the Hanyuan Hall, and she knows you are here, so she wants to send it. Normally, the maidservant can’t come to the front, so it’s not wrong for the maid to scold the maidservant.”

"It's indeed mine. I couldn't find one that day, and I turned it up and down in the house. It's my favorite thing." Lan Qi reached out and took the earrings held by the maid, but put them on the earrings first. On her lap, she casually removed a pair of emerald pendants she was wearing and handed them to her. Seeing that the little maid was puzzled, she smiled and said, "This emerald is extremely valuable, and it was given to me by the Empress Dowager in the old year. You can sell it for silver by yourself, and no one will know about it. You specially brought it back to me, and even asked my mother to beat me. I feel very sorry. Although this pair of jadeite is not priceless, it is also very precious. gave it to you."

"My lady..."

"There used to be a nanny who scolded me and beat me, saying that I was a lowly thing." Lan Qi put the emerald earrings in her purse, and said, shaking the round fan, "Don't blame the nanny's bad words, what they say occasionally It all makes sense, people naturally listen to what they say in whatever position they are in. If you are a good maid, and you will be in charge in the future, no one will say that about you anymore. The little maid will be beaten and scolded if she learns from her mother. Be smart and behave yourself Just a little bit? Don’t be foolish enough to annoy them all the time, be more patient and sweet, and everything will be over. Go back quickly, because you’ve been here for a long time, and others will see you and be scolded.”

Lan Qi said that she got up and was about to leave, but said curiously: "I see you many times, but I still don't know your name, maybe I will come to Yingtai again in the future, if I want to see you again, I can find you."

The palace maid was startled, she was overjoyed, she kowtowed on the ground and said: "My maidservant's family name is Zhang Jia, after coming to Yingtai, the father-in-law in charge named her Xing'er."

"Xing'er?" Lan Qi smiled, the name was so random, and Xing'er explained by herself, "When the slave girl came to Yingtai, the apricot blossoms in front of her just happened to bloom."

"That's quite interesting, Xing'er, I remember." Lan Qi was about to leave, and then told her, "Be good at your job, those nuns have remembered your face these days, don't go any further, If they really want to beat and scold you, the rules are the rules, and I can't stop them."

Xing'er repeatedly agreed, bowed her head to thank her, and when she got up again, Debi had gone far away.The little girl sat down on her knees, still holding the pair of jade pendants in her hands. She was often bullied and tossed in Yingtai, and she survived the day with her bright and cheerful personality. Now that she meets such a gentle master, her heart feels warm for the first time. .Holding the jade pendant happily, she couldn't put it down, but she was afraid of being seen by others, so she quickly put the jade away, and quickly ran away before anyone came to chase her away.

After the dormitory was cleaned up, Lan Qi came back to rest, and everyone else left. She casually took Xuan Ye's book and flipped through it under the window. She gradually became confused and waited for the familiar voice in her ear to call her. After caressing leisurely, he suddenly woke up, saw the emperor's energetic face, immediately smiled like a flower, got up and pulled Xuan Ye to ask: "The emperor is busy?"

Xuan Ye smiled: "It's good to see you a few more times at night, now I'll come back to see you when I have time, I'm hungry and want to eat something, are you hungry?"

Lan Qi wanted to eat with the emperor even if she was not hungry. Huan Chun brought mung bean soup and steamed dumplings. Xuan Ye had no appetite and only drank tea. Now that his body has recovered, he felt hungry. He ate a basket of steamed dumplings by himself. , saw Lan Qi not moving her chopsticks by the side, laughed at her and said, "I just said that day that your body became limp, so you stopped eating? Are you stupid?"

"There's a whole basket of dumplings. You don't see enough to eat. If the concubine moves a few more chopsticks, the emperor should complain in his heart. If he gets fat, he will still eat it. If he eats any more, he will blow it into a ball..." Lan Qi hadn't finished speaking yet. Xuan Ye stuffed half a dumpling into his mouth, and said bitterly, "I'm so tired of your mouth, I'm not allowed to talk anymore today, I'll punish you severely."

Lan Qi was stunned, half a dumpling in her mouth, not knowing whether she should swallow it or not, she looked at Xuan Ye pitifully, and seeing that she took it seriously, Xuan Ye laughed out of joy, hugged and coaxed her for a while. The man laughed and said a few words, the fatigue on his body disappeared, and after sitting idle for a while, Xuan Ye went to work again.

After going back and forth like this, Lian Huanchun couldn't help saying: "It's so easy for others to just be the Long Live Lord. The slaves think that the emperor is more tired than us servants. When the slaves serve the master and take over in shifts, the emperor is the Long Live Lord." , Once you take it, it will last a lifetime, how can outsiders understand all kinds of hard work."

At that time, Lan Qi didn't say anything. Apart from feeling sorry for Xuan Ye, she was even more proud of him and herself. No matter what other people thought, she just wanted to stay with Xuan Ye for the rest of her life.

Here the emperor came to the front and was preparing to meet several lieutenants. Eunuch Li brought tea over while he was sitting idle. Xuan Ye remembered something and asked Mr. Li: "Huanchun's house, have you inquired about it?"

Eunuch Li said softly: "The slave has already inquired about it. Don't worry, Long Live Lord, the slave will make arrangements."

"Do it properly and try to make her want to stay. Although it's a one-sentence matter, Concubine De doesn't want to force it, and I can't force it either." Xuan Ye closed the folder in his hand and urged, "Concubine De can't do without Huanchun, I don't trust others to go to her side. This matter must not be let anyone know, if Debi finds out that I arranged it, she should be sad."
