Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Rong Ruo was very embarrassed, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, Xuan Ye smiled and said it was all right, so he sent him away, and then called Eunuch Li, saying that he was going to Yonghe Palace for a sit down, counting the days since she hadn't seen Lan Qi, she asked herself to take care of her These imperial concubines are also taken care of attentively enough.

On the other hand, Rong Ruo came out of the palace, thinking about what the emperor said just now, but when he saw the young servant at home come up to meet him, he said with a smile on his face: "Madam, please ask the young master to go home, and let the young one prepare a car to pick you up." .”

"What's going on at home?" Rong Ruo frowned. At this moment, he was thinking of going back to his private house to see Shen Wan. As the emperor said, his mother-in-law would go to make trouble every few days. Shen Wan was magnanimous and didn't care about it. She was bullied by her mother-in-law.

The young man smiled and said: "My aunt has returned to the mansion, Madam said that I would like you to go back and have a meal together. Young master, you will not go back to the mansion for a long time, so why don't you just look at the aunt's face today?"

Rong Ruo knew that if he didn't agree, this boy would have nothing to eat when he went back. Besides, he didn't want his sister to be embarrassed, and with the emperor's order today, he went home and said to his face that his father, a person who wants to save face, will definitely die in the future. Restraining his mother's behavior, he reluctantly agreed, and followed the boy to go home by car.

In the Yonghe Palace, Huan Chun brought a plate of fresh melons and fruits into the door and put them down. Recently, Lan Qi couldn't smell the incense, but loved the sweetness of the fresh fruits.It's just that the concubines' daily distribution of melons and fruits is limited, and if they all use them to smell the aroma, it will not be enough to eat. Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan will distribute some of their daily distribution, not to mention that they can't afford Lan Qi's. The melons and fruits meant that they couldn't eat them at all, they were wasted in vain, and there was no need to buy more to waste money.Saving money is something that Lan Qi likes, and it is also the wish of her sisters, so she readily accepts it.

At this time, it was the news from Qianqing Palace that the emperor was coming, she asked Huanchun to put out some fresh dishes, and said with a smile: "Tell the emperor that I made these with money myself, so that he can reward me with some money." Buy some fruit and eat it."

Huan Chun smiled and said: "Master, why don't you think about other things, you always miss the money in the emperor's pocket, the empress dowager has already told you once."

Lan Qi just smiled, she was naturally measured, she arranged the freshly washed melons and fruits in her hands, picked some sweet and crunchy ones and put them on top for a while so that Xuan Ye could eat some, the master and the servant were Jokingly, Ziyu came in from the outside and said sullenly: "Master, don't wait any longer, someone from Qianqing Palace said that Lord Long Live is not coming."

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously, and said: "There must be something important in the court."

Unexpectedly, Ziyu said angrily: "It's really important, the servants don't dare to care about it. It's the one in Xianfu Palace again, the emperor is going out to come to our place, and the person named Concubine Wen stopped her , said that the imperial concubine is not in good health, so she insisted on finding the emperor."

Lian Huanchun was angrily: "The imperial concubine is really picky. A while ago, Long Live Lord was in Chengqian Palace every day. Why didn't she say that she was uncomfortable?"

"Why are you so angry? I'm not angry yet." Lan Qi comforted her loved ones with kind words, and said with a smile, "The emperor's kindness to me lies in whether he comes or not. I don't care at all. I'm happy to serve him." He added, "Since the emperor won't be here, I've prepared more dinner, so I'll invite Sister Bu and the others to come over for dinner, and invite Wan Changzai too, she's always very conscientious." Health, it's so pitiful."

Seeing that the master is magnanimous, everyone stopped talking too much, but their faces were always unhappy. After a while, Concubine Rong came over, but Concubine Rong advised them: "Concubine Wen is not very good, I will go to see it this morning." However, her complexion was very bad, and she didn't make much trouble in the hospital. I heard from Dong Yun that she was afraid of the old year's incident again, so she didn't dare to make trouble."

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "She is always so extreme, why bother."

Sure enough, as Concubine Rong said, Concubine Wen Guifei's body is not stable, needless to say she was seriously ill, she even got red twice, and both times scared her to death, but it was always a false alarm, but the current false alarm was not a false alarm. What's more, she tried to seduce the emperor to see her. Even the imperial doctor said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, she must be in a good mood and rest in bed. I'm afraid it's because of the short interval between miscarriages in the old year and her body is still weak."

Hearing these few honest words, Xuan Ye didn't care too much about her. The emperor's grandmother hoped that he would not treat her too badly, and the Niu Hulu family outside also watched with wide eyes. Even if he was not very happy in his heart, the emperor still tried his best I care so much to appease Concubine Wen Gui, I came here today to see her quiet and gentle, her face is full of anxiety and timidity of worrying about the child, and my heart softens.

Accompanied by a few words, they left Xianfu Palace before it was dark, knowing that Lan Qi was entertaining another sister, so they went straight back to Qianqing Palace. When they passed by Yikun Palace, they remembered that Concubine Yi was also pregnant, but she Her fetus was very stable, and she was fine like Lan Qi, so she remembered what the imperial doctor had told her about the imperial concubine.The imperial concubine's child may not be able to keep it. Although the cousin already knows it, she will be sad when the mother and child are separated in the future. Lan Qi begged him to accompany the imperial concubine more now. She is also a woman who had a hard pregnancy in October. Nian Lanqi also experienced the same thing, no wonder she felt the same way.

"Let's go to Chengqian Palace." On the way, the emperor changed his mind and decided to accompany his cousin, Yu Jia hurried past the gate of Yikun Palace, the people in the palace gate saw the movement and reported it, Concubine Yi felt empty after hearing this, He said to himself: "If you don't come, you won't come, and you still pass by the door, are you trying to hide me? They are all pregnant with the same child, and I live in peace here, so no one will feel sorry for you? I really will cry The child has milk to eat."

As the night deepened, the hustle and bustle everywhere in the palace dissipated, and the hustle and bustle of the streets and alleys of the capital also receded. However, there was a commotion on the wide road in front of Mingzhu Mansion at this moment, and a young servant was saying: "Young master, wait a minute!" , this servant will bring you the whip."

Accompanied by the sound of trampling horseshoes, the rider seemed to be in a hurry to go back. Before the boy could bring the whip, several lanterns poured out in front of the door, and several girls and old ladies surrounded the young lady and went out. The young lady hurriedly said : "Rongruo, if you've had a drink, don't ride a horse, let someone prepare a car to take you home." He said and scolded the servants, "Hurry up and prepare a car, my uncle was drunk, why do you still let you ride a horse?"

The sound of horseshoes was messy, and Rong Ruo seemed impatient, but he was really drunk, and said vaguely: "It's okay, you go back, I'm leaving now."

The young lady persuaded: "I won't stop you if you want to leave, but it's hard for you to ride a horse after drinking. If there's something wrong with you on the way, I still have Ama Erniang at home. If you leave Shen Wan alone, you can't ride a horse." How about it?"

But before Rong Ruo could respond, many people poured out of the door, and the steward yelled at his subordinates: "The master ordered, invite the young master back quickly, you are blind, how can the young master ride a horse after drinking, hurry up." He gave an order, Many young servants rushed up, leading horses leading horses, pulling people, and carrying Rong Ruo back in a hurry. The young lady was so startled that she said all the way, "Be careful, don't hurt him."

The man was directly carried back to the inner room and laid on the bed, and Mingzhu followed, because the father-in-law could not enter the daughter-in-law's room, so he just said coldly outside the door: "Nalan Rong, if you dare to walk out of this door again, I will now Just go and kill that Shen Wan, why don't you try?"

The young lady hurriedly came out to persuade the master not to be angry, but Mingzhu felt sorry for her virtuousness, so she comforted her before leaving. Not long after, Mrs. Mingzhu came over and helped clean up her drunken son. She took her daughter-in-law's hand and said: " For Er Niang's sake, don't be sad for him, sooner or later Er Niang will clean up that Shen Wan and give you justice."

The young lady was magnanimous, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law still cares about you and Ama. That Shen Wan has left home and has no relatives. It's really pitiful. Rong Ruo should love her. The daughter-in-law wants them to move back. Sisters are easy to take care of, as well as children, but they are stubborn, and no one can do anything about it.”

Mrs. Mingzhu sighed again and again: "You can't do this. In the future, the entire family will be in your hands. You have to learn a lot to keep those slaves down."

The young lady smiled and said, "Sister Yan is here."

Mrs. Mingzhu tutted her head and shook her head: "You are the matriarch of the family."

While talking, Rong Ruo, who was drunk, was raving in his dream, vaguely not knowing what to say, Mrs. Ming Zhu gave some instructions and left, Young Madam walked to the door, closed the door herself, turned around and looked at her drunken husband, slightly Biting her lip, she walked over to blow out the candles one by one, and when she approached the bed, she had already untied the front of her chest with one hand.

A drunken man becomes emotional when he is lightly teased. When Rong Ruo is unconsciously having sex with his wife at home, the candles are kept burning all night in a private house in a corner of the capital.Shen Wan had been sitting under the window waiting for her husband to come back, until the boy who went to inquire about the news reported back, the girl came to persuade: "You rest, the uncle will not be back tonight."

Shen Wan closed her eyes and sighed, before ordering: "Close the door and lock it, open the door early tomorrow morning before the time for the uncle to go to court, maybe he will come back early in the morning."

The servants didn't really believe it, but they didn't dare to disobey their orders. Sure enough, as Shen Wan expected, there was movement in front of the door before dawn the next day. After running back, she ran straight into Shen Wan's room, seeing the mother and son sleeping on the couch, feeling at ease.

And this movement of his startled Shen Wan, who was in a light sleep, Rong Ruo was holding a candle in her hand, and the candle light shone on her clear and gentle face, but seeing a demure and elegant smile on her lips, the sleepy-eyed woman Ask gently: "So early?"

Rong Ruo put down the candle and sat on the side of the bed. He reached out to help Shen Wan up, but someone pushed him lightly and said, "You don't want to wash it up, you smell of alcohol. Are you going to go up like this? You go first." , I'll come over right now."

Rong Ruo had no choice but to leave with a smile, and called the girl outside to fetch water. When she was young, she saw Shen Wan come out wearing a piece of clothes, her hair was loose in a bun, her sleeves were half rolled up to reveal her jade-like arms, and she flicked the water with her slender fingers to try the cold water. Re, quickly twisted a handkerchief to pass to Rong Ruo, but Rong Ruo held Shen Wan's hand without taking the handkerchief, and said distressedly: "You never touch the sun with your fingers, but you do this for me. thing."
