Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xuanye and his grandmother had a tacit understanding about the draft. This time, the sister of the imperial concubine was to be kept. It happened that the emperor had not returned from his tour, but the girls from various banners had already entered Beijing. There was no reason to keep them waiting for a long time.Now that the imperial concubine, noble concubine, and four concubines are all complete, the selection of low-ranking concubines can be presided over by the empress dowager or the empress dowager, and this time the little Tong Jia family is to be kept. If you come forward, you will have something to say to those ministers in the future.

After all, their ages and identities are all candidates for the election. If they don't stay, it's because they don't want to continue to expand the power of Tong's relatives. If they stay, it's because the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager prefer to keep the sign according to the rules.

Concubine Rong is taking care of all matters related to the draft. She had no intention of requesting the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother to come forward, and she patiently waited for the return of the holy driver. They waited too long outside the palace, and Concubine Rong followed the imperial concubine to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to ask for an order. How did she know that the imperial concubine got the order from her family so that she could keep her younger sister smoothly.

Regarding the matter of her younger sister entering the palace, the imperial concubine has always been resentful. After getting the empress dowager's consent to leave, she left everything behind and left everything alone. Only then did Concubine Rong feel that the imperial concubine should have been instructed by whom to come here. The emperor should have arranged the matter early in the morning. He secretly sighed that he did not have a big family outside the palace to rely on, and he would have no one to discuss with when encountering major events. In the past, Concubine Hui assisted by her side, and she could always try to figure out the holy meaning through Mingzhu Mansion Well, this time the empress dowager won't let her take care of the draft, and she's so proud of her, so why don't you post it yourself to find her?

In this case, Concubine Rong mentioned it when she was relaxing with Lan Qi in her spare time, and said to her more frankly: "You are the same as me, only the birth is inferior to others, but the superior likes to entrust important responsibilities. I know that it is not easy to walk step by step. , if you take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace in the future, you will have to work hard without support from outside the palace."

At that time, Lan Qi didn't quite understand why she had to rely on people outside the palace. It can be seen that Concubine Rong's words were sincere, and it was really hard work. She also thought that the Empress Dowager and Xuan Ye were looking forward to her, and she was determined to learn from her. Just wait patiently for that day to come.

This time the draft is presided over by the Empress Dowager, and it is also the first time that the Empress Dowager presides over such a big event. The Empress Dowager did not appear in person, in order to experience that her daughter-in-law will be able to sit in the harem in the future. Over the years, the Empress Dowager feels more and more lazy and heavy. Although the background is good and the spirit is good, but I know that in my old age, living one more year is a gift from God. Looking back on my magnificent life, now when the sun is setting, I would rather lead a caring and sensible child like Lan Qi to be peaceful Finish life.

On the day of the draft, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong accompanied the Empress Dowager to wait in the Palace of Compassion. The Imperial Concubine and the Empress Dowager presided over the selection process. The officials of the household department are managed there, and at that time the eunuchs will introduce them in shifts, with five people in each shift, selected by the Queen Mother, or leave a sign or place a sign, and then return to their respective families.

After rounds of elections, it was not until dusk that the queen mother brought the imperial concubine and the noble concubine back to life. All three of them looked exhausted. After sitting for a whole day watching the girls pass by in groups, the queen mother smiled and said: "I'm dazzled when I look at the back, look at five people standing in a row, how come they look the same."

Let’s talk about marrying wives, concubines, and women. It’s the turn of the beautiful women who enter the palace at this moment, except for those who are of noble birth like Xiao Tong Jia, and other women who may have noble births, most of them put a sign and let them marry by themselves or in the future. The emperor refers to marriage, and those who can stay are mostly from ordinary backgrounds, in order to fill the harem to serve the emperor, and there is not much help in politics, so the empress dowager has long been instructed by the empress dowager. Those who are too flirtatious and beautiful cannot be retained, and those who are too valuable to enter the palace, they have recorded their names in the list early on and eliminated them one by one.

The imperial concubine's face was always gloomy and she couldn't see the joy. After returning to life, she was not as good as the empress dowager to enjoy the meal, so she left on the grounds that she was tired. She didn't want to stay after she left. After that, the four concubines Hui Concubine and Yi Concubine also left. The Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong and Lan Qi accompanied her to dinner, during the dinner, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "The imperial concubine is naturally beautiful, and she is a top-notch beauty, but my sister's appearance is very ordinary, and the appearance of the palace is random. I have all of them, and I don’t know if the eyebrows will be opened in the future, and they will look different. Speaking of which, Chen Qie didn’t think that the new children didn’t look good. Today, I don’t know if it’s because I’m tired of watching it, or this year’s Xiunv is not as good as before, and there are not many children who are eye-catching. Thinking about the emperor's choice in the past, it is really hard."

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old naturally cannot see her beauty. This woman's beauty depends on her physical and mental temperament. As long as she doesn't have a crooked nose and squint eyes, she knows how to take care of herself and dresses up. It will become more and more beautiful in the future."

Concubine Rong pulled Lan Qi and said with a smile: "The empress dowager said that we are the concubine de concubine. When the concubine saw her for the first time, she was just a prettier little girl. Her eyebrows have gradually opened over the years, and she is so beautiful when she is pregnant with a child." .”

For a while, all the old and young made fun of Lan Qi, but she had a good temper and a thick skin. Since she praised her for what she said, she would not listen to it. For the newcomer to enter the palace, more than half of the major event of the draft has been decided.

Concubine Rong sent the Empress Dowager back to Ningshou Palace at night. She was still very energetic after a day of idleness in the Palace of Compassion and Ningshou. The Empress Dowager said that she wanted to relax after sitting for too long. However, the queen mother said: "When a newcomer enters the palace, he must live scattered with the lord, and there must be someone in your Jingyang Palace. If you can be liked by the emperor, you will be remembered a lot in the future. You are still young. But you We must teach the newcomers well, and don’t have people like Nala and Guo Luoluo.”

Concubine Rong knew that the Empress Dowager was referring to the two deceased nobles, and she responded, but she knew in her heart that such extremes were rare, and thinking about the madness of the nobleman, Yikun Palace could hardly be blamed, and Guo Guiren She is from Yikun Palace, no wonder the Queen Mother is not happy, after all, the birth mother of her beloved fifth elder brother is the one from Yikun Palace.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother mentioned Fifth Prince, she sighed and said, "It would be great if this child was born by you."

Concubine Rong didn't want to gossip behind people's backs, and she and Concubine Yi never had any quarrels, just quietly listened to the empress dowager's words, and after sending her back to Ningshou Palace, she went back by herself.

A few days later, on the auspicious day, the selected show girl officially enters the palace, and the status of the promised permanent presence is still unknown. This will have to wait for Xuan Ye to come back. For example, the younger sister of the imperial concubine has already appointed a concubine, so naturally there will be a canonization ceremony , don't rush to make arrangements right now.

On this day, the imperial concubine and all the concubines sat down one by one in the Chengqian Palace to meet the newcomers. A dozen fresh and young girls stood in the center of the hall. How but unknown.The emperor may bring one or two with him when he returns from his east tour. The imperial concubines and concubines in the palace are always favored. There is.

Yingying and Yanyan's girls are fresh and lovely, with different temperaments. After a few words from the imperial concubine, the people will leave, the newcomers will leave, and the concubine Rong will also leave. Suddenly Wen Guifei laughed and said: The concubine thought that Empress Hesheli's younger sister would also enter the palace this year, but she was still young, but the imperial concubine's younger sister finally met her, and she had seen her once or twice when she was at home, and she became a big girl in the blink of an eye."

The imperial concubine glanced at her, and said nothing coldly, as if she wanted to chase away the guests, and saw that the concubine Wen was not moving, so she left first, but she heard her sneer: "Most of the sisters in this palace enter the palace, their lives are not very good. Concubine Yi is the most painful, now that you see Princess Kejing every day, and the former residence of your sisters, don't you feel sad?"

Concubine Yi looked embarrassed, and responded in embarrassment: "The concubine devoted herself to raising Princess Kejing, which is the best condolence for her sister in her heart, and she passed away as a concubine. What a sad person."

Concubine Wen smiled wryly: "You can push it clean. I think of my sister every night, but I can't be so ruthless like you. She kept the palace in good order when she was alive. Don't you still do things according to her now?" The rules set in the past? Speaking of which, I would trouble you to think about her more."

Everyone knows that Concubine Wen Gui has a weird temper, who knows what kind of temper she has committed today, Concubine Hui stopped by Concubine Yi, not letting her speak again, Concubine Huang Guifei also left without saying a word, Concubine Wen Guifei saw no one Pay attention to her and leave soon.

Concubine Rong and the three came out together, Concubine Yi said bitterly: "Concubine Gui is really strange, does she wish that the Sixth Palace ignores her, does she have to step on people's feet?"

Concubine Hui pulled her back, signaling not to talk too much, Concubine Rong knew she had some words she shouldn't listen to, so she said some polite words and left in front of Chengqian Palace, but all three of them saw that the gate of Yonghe Palace was open, and people were coming in and out. Someone cleaned it, and after walking away, Concubine Yi said sourly: "The emperor is coming back soon, so why is she still serving in the Palace of Compassion and Peace?"

Sure enough, as Concubine Yi said, the Empress Dowager asked Lan Qi to move back to the Yonghe Palace because the imperial concubine was returning home. The three of them saw the Yonghe Palace being cleaned this day. Come to prepare the delivery room, Concubine De will give birth in June, because of her weak body, she can't protect against any accidents, so prepare these in advance in case Concubine De will give birth at any time.

On that day, Lanqi returned to the Yonghe Palace in a soft sedan chair. She was closing her eyes and resting her mind when she heard Linlang's laughter in front of her. After a while, the laughter faded away, and she heard Huanchun outside saying: "Master, you are all the beautiful ladies who have just entered the palace. ?"

"You don't need to see me anymore, just go and say something for me, I'm inconvenient, we won't be too late in the future." Lan Qi ordered, and the sedan chair continued to move forward. She knew that those beautiful girls should be standing by the side of the palace road, Lifting the curtain slightly, I saw a row of young girls standing with their heads down. I remembered the scene when I stood in such a place and was seen by the emperor. At that time, how could I have imagined that Wu Yalanqi would be here today.

After Huan Chunlai said a few polite words to the newcomers, he left with his master and his party. The newcomers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and some people were still staring at the sedan chair going away, and then someone said: "I really want to see De What kind of concubine looks like, what kind of clothes does she wear, the emperor will like the kind of concubine Defei."
