Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Mammy came out to look, and seeing Lan Qi at first, the angry expression on her face dissipated immediately, she held her hand and led her in without any explanation, and said happily: "Look, master, who's here."

The Empress Dowager was not happy at first, but when she saw Lan Qi, most of her displeasure dissipated, she moved to her side to look up and down, touched her arms to see if she had lost weight, and said distressedly: "My good boy, you are suffering gone."

After moving back from the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Lan Qi never saw the Empress Dowager again. After a few months of absence, Lan Qi felt that the Empress Dowager was getting old again, and her hair was almost as pale as frost. , but she still has a spirit in her eyes and a graceful demeanor, so that she can't help but want to hide under her wings wholeheartedly when she sees her.

"Don't be afraid, you are still so young. Look at Concubine Rong, she is in good health now." The Empress Dowager was smiling slightly, but she squeezed Lan Qi's hand more and more tightly, and her eyes gradually widened. Hong couldn't hide her sadness and said, "I heard from Su Mala, she is a very beautiful girl."

Evoking the pain of losing her daughter, Lan Qi felt sore and unbearable. After nodding her head and saying yes, she immediately tried to laugh again and coaxed the old man to say: "The imperial doctor said that the concubine is well-raised. A woman in confinement is like being born again. Concubine This time, it has been raised well, and it is not afraid of coughing and panting in winter."

"That's good. Only when you are in good health can I hand over Xuan Ye to you with peace of mind." The Empress Dowager gently stroked Lan Qi's cheek, "Take good care of me and give me a few more babies while I can still see you." Great-granddaughter."

Lan Qi smiled shyly, and suddenly remembered what the Empress Dowager and Madam Su Mala said just now, and couldn't help trembling in her heart, and she didn't want to pretend that she didn't hear it, so she asked the Empress Dowager frankly: "The concubine just overheard you and Nanny Su Mala. Mama said, has it been found out that it was Concubine Hui who put the puppet in Xianfu Palace?"

The empress dowager frowned slightly, while the nanny said beside her: "Master, don't blame your mother, how did your mother know how to break in, this servant will tell you this."

"I blame her for what she is doing. Just mentioning Concubine Hui makes me feel annoyed." The Empress Dowager said angrily, "It's just that such a person, Xuan Ye refuses to get rid of her. Why keep such a thing?"

Lan Qi listened, it seemed that the emperor's idea was not to punish Concubine Hui, that is to say, Xuan Ye knew about it, so she heard Aunt Su Mala say: "In Xianfu Palace, some court ladies and eunuchs were secretly arrested for interrogation. They couldn't even ask for a confession through torture. Only one person said that he seemed to have seen people around Concubine Hui coming in and out, but the words were so ambiguous that he couldn't make a confession at all. Instead, Baoyun and others around Concubine Hui sent it, saying that Chuxiu Palace Afterwards, Concubine Hui's spirit was not very good. That day when the elder brother ran to ask her about Nightmare Town, Concubine Hui lost her temper. Although we can speculate on Concubine Hui's behavior based on this, none of this can be used as evidence to accuse Concubine Hui. Concubine empress. The emperor said, temporarily save the life of Changchun Palace, so that the empress dowager should not pursue it any further."

That's the way it is, but Lan Qi also understands that although what Mammy said is reasonable, she can't arrest people without solid evidence, but if the emperor intends to get rid of Concubine Hui, the evidence is nothing, if he doesn't intend to take her life, even if he has Evidence, nor conviction.No matter how deep the truth is, Lan Qi doesn't understand, she only knows that Xuan Ye keeps Concubine Hui, it's definitely not because he likes her, that way to keep is to take advantage of, a woman who is used by her husband is also sad to live.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with Concubine Hui, the relationship between you and her is the best." Madam Su Mala reminded Lan Qi, and the Empress Dowager also warned, "There is no need to have any contact with such a person. Just be polite on the face."

Afterwards, she stopped saying these things. Lan Qi said that she would continue to serve the Empress Dowager in daily life and food.The Empress Dowager has long been accustomed to let Lan Qi handle everything. With her company, she feels delicious eating. She is happy today, but Xuanye knows that Lan Qi is here, so he sent someone to remind her to take it easy. I was so tired that I made my grandmother dumbfounded.

Naturally, the Empress Dowager would not make Lan Qi too hard. She sent her back early and asked her to come the next day. The air was exceptionally comfortable. She was the one who was bored in the house for a long time, so she begged Huanchun for a while: "Let's go for a while, and you let the sedan chair follow behind. When you get tired, take the sedan chair and go back."

"Then go for a short distance. Your complexion is not as good as before you went out. After all, you have been recuperating for two months, and your physical strength can't keep up." Huan Chun carefully supported her, and the group walked forward slowly. Autumn is full of colors, and she can't help but say in a daze, "It was so happy in Yingtai last year, but this year I didn't even live in summer. The palace was melting all day long, and I didn't wear any of the new summer clothes."

Huan Chunxiao: "Save up to wear it next year, so you can change it every day without repeating it."

"That's right, I just don't know, whether I will gain weight or lose weight next year." Lan Qi touched her waist and caressed her belly with her hands casually. After crying and crying, her waist and abdomen have been retracted in two months, but she missed her big belly and longed for another child, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "If you can straighten your belly again, it doesn't matter if you don't wear summer clothes. "

Huan Chun coaxed her: "Other servants don't dare to say it, the empress will definitely have it."

Lan Qi also nodded, and said confidently and firmly: "I will live well, and the little princess will protect Erniang in heaven."

After walking for a while, Lan Qi was sweating slightly on her forehead. After all, she was still weak, so Huan Chun asked her to go back in a sedan chair. The sedan chair stopped by the side of the road. Lan Qi held Huan Chun's hand and was about to go up. People, I heard Xiangyue say from the side, "The concubine Hui is here."

Lan Qi and Huan Chun looked at each other, Huan Chun supported her and turned around again, Concubine Hui who came over there also saw her, walked up and said enthusiastically: "Long time no see sister, where are you from? Get on the sedan chair here?"

Huanchun helped her master explain, and Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Since I'm tired, Changchun Palace is just ahead, let's have a cup of tea and rest, it's still early."

Lan Qi politely declined: "The imperial doctor doesn't allow you to drink tea yet, and asks me to go to bed early and get up early. It's time for me to sleep in a while, and Yinzuo is waiting for me to go back. When I feel better, bring Yinzuo to come and talk with the eighth elder brother Let's play, sister will treat me with some good tea." Then he ordered the sedan chair to be moved to the side, "Let Concubine Hui go first."

Concubine Hui politely said: "Why, the road is very spacious, my sister gets on the sedan chair first, and I feel relieved when I see you go back first." Then she moved up to her and held hands and said, "You have to mourn about the little princess, and take good care of yourself. .”

"Thank you, sister." Lan Qi was polite. Since Concubine Hui refused to leave first, she got into the sedan chair first, and when the group walked away, the warm smile on Concubine Hui's face disappeared immediately, and she turned and went straight back to Changchun Palace. When Baoyun was not around, he called the maid who was close to him and said, "Pay attention to the movement of Yonghe Palace in the future, don't think she is always low-key and modest, but she is the one who speaks, and it is most effective in front of the emperor. What."

When she returned to Changchun Palace, the maid reported two things. One was that Concubine Hui's own natal family came to ask her to reward her with some silver for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tossing about some high-sounding excuses, I only gave some in the summer." But what goes out must come in, and another thing is that Mrs. Mingzhu will enter the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.

Concubine Hui remembered that the woman Rong Ruo had raised outside gave birth to a son, so she told Bao Yun: "Prepare some congratulatory gifts, when Madam comes tomorrow, give them to him."

Sure enough, when Mrs. Mingzhu entered the palace the next day, as usual, real gold and silver were sent in to celebrate the festival. Although Concubine Hui's own natal family asked for money from time to time, it was only a small change, but Concubine Hui hated her family for not living up to expectations.

But when Baoyun brought the congratulatory gifts and Concubine Hui congratulated Mrs. Mingzhu for having another grandson, Mrs. Mingzhu said angrily: "Madam, is it unreasonable for you to say that they are the descendants of our Nalan family, and my grandmother can't even see them?" This little hoof is very powerful. In a private house, it looks like the mistress of a family. My mother-in-law came to the door in person, and she could leave me outside. It's a shame that the emperor agreed to them, and I can't do anything. Think Think about my grandson, he can't live in the mansion, and he is wronged to follow a mother who has no name and no title, what is it."

Concubine Hui smiled: "It's still on Rong Ruo after all. If you can control your son, what can that woman do? Forget it, you don't lack this grandson. Since he doesn't appreciate it, you don't have to post it blindly." Naturally this was gossip, as soon as Baoyun walked away, Concubine Hui asked coldly, "Does cousin know anything about Chuxiu Palace?"

On the other hand, people from Xianfu Palace have also come to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past few days. Dong Yun has been busy dealing with it, repeating the same thing every year, but this year because the emperor treats the concubine better, there are more people from outside to curry favor. There are all kinds of good things, Concubine Wen selected a few elegant and unique ornaments, and personally delivered them to the room of nobleman Jue Chan.

Jue Chan naturally does not care for any good things. When she was young, her family was also rich, and she was often in the Pearl Mansion, and she saw countless good things. In her eyes, the things sent by Concubine Wen were nothing more than mediocre. The imperial concubine wanted to treat her well, so she couldn't help but appreciate it.

For the matter of Nightmare Town, Concubine Wen not only didn’t suffer, the emperor even praised her for being sensible and generous. Even if she can’t come here often these days, she still sends things or sends greetings from time to time. For Concubine Wen, nothing is as good as the emperor His heart is precious, and naturally his mood is getting better every day, and he is most grateful to the "Military Advisor" beside him who advises and advises.

"I always think that if you have any wish, I can fulfill it for you." Concubine Wen often said this sentence, but even if there was a wish in Jue Chan's heart that was tepid, she would never Say it easily.

Concubine Wen, on the other hand, understood what an infatuated person would think, so she took the initiative to tell her: "Mrs. Mingzhu went to see Concubine Hui in the palace today. I sent someone to inquire about their family a few days ago. I heard that Nalan Rongruo was a Han woman outside. He gave birth to a big fat son."
