Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Your Majesty?" Jue Chan was agitated. She always felt that Concubine Wen Gui was just trying to make herself happy. This matter was difficult to say, but it was never easy to do. How could she really bother to arrange it? Zen is the smartest person, and he doesn't expect to see Shen Wan.

Concubine Wen said slowly: "It's just that I'm not sure that you will see it. After all, it's easy for me to let you go hunting with me. If Nalan Rong can take Shen Wan with me, I don't know. Or let my sister-in-law or something Let's instigate their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship again. If Nalan Rongruo doesn't worry about leaving her at home, it might not be impossible to take her to Gubeikou for a few days. Of course, all of this is just my imagination. It's our luck that we bump into it, otherwise You can go hunting with the emperor so hard, just take it easy."

Hearing that Concubine Wen made such an arrangement, Jue Chan seemed a little disappointed, and bowed his head and said: "The concubine has not served the driver for a long time, how can I be qualified to go hunting with the driver, the empress is not afraid that you will push the concubine out and let others say something Four, will it embarrass you?"

"The imperial concubine is about to give birth, and neither I nor Concubine De Yi will be able to withstand the bumpy rides. I heard that Concubine Rong has made arrangements. This time Concubine Tong, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xi Concubine, there are also Wan Chang who will accompany you, so many people go, I let you go too, why can't it be done? You are not a sinner, you just gave birth to the eighth brother, but you just live here Just keep a low profile, why can't you go?"

Concubine Wen didn't care, she called Dongyun over and asked her to pass on her thoughts to Concubine Rong, at least she has the dignity of a concubine, so she doesn't need to mention the word "discuss" with Concubine Rong, just order it.

Concubine Rong heard the message from the noble concubine, and asked her to prepare for Jue Chan's company. At that time, Concubine Hui led the eighth elder brother to rush through the door. Hearing this, she sneered when she left: "She thinks I have a big belly, and I want to push this beautiful woman beside me to seduce the emperor?"

"You speak too harshly." Concubine Rong scolded, "There are quite a few people accompanying me this time. These days, the emperor is here to accompany the imperial concubine. Concubine Tong and the others are rightly favoring the newcomers. The concubine's escorts are just to save face, she is also a veteran, so she should be treated the same."

"She was so beautiful, the emperor won't be tempted when he sees her? There are people in the palace who are in the way, and the empress dowager doesn't like her coquettishness. Naturally, the emperor has to bear with it, but he went outside to marry beauties and relatives. If you fall in love again, everyone in the palace is waiting to give birth, isn't it a climate again?" Concubine Hui said, "At the beginning, I wholeheartedly wanted to cultivate her just to please the emperor, but the Niu Hulu family picked up a ready-made one. Cheap."

Concubine Rong shook her head: "We are the lives of bystanders now, don't forget the pain when your scars heal, don't bother thinking about these things."

While talking, Wan Chang from the backyard came over to say hello and asked about the accompanying hunting trip. Concubine Rong explained to her a few times, and Wan Liuhashi went down. Concubine Hui kept watching and didn't speak. Cai said: "I haven't paid attention to it all the time, I didn't expect my sister to hide a little beauty here?"

Concubine Rong also said: "It was nothing when I first came here. After being sick for a few times, my eyebrows have grown. She looks a bit pretty. The emperor will occasionally look at her brand, but she is young and timid, and the emperor doesn't like it very much. "

Concubine Hui sighed: "Sister, you need to train her well. The young children are all clever and clever. We have to be more careful in the future."

"Many are clever, but some are honest and gentle." Concubine Rong perfunctory, not continuing this topic.

That night, the emperor went to the Yonghe Palace, and he could not come two or three times in the past month. Yin Zuo rarely saw his father, so naturally he was entangled and refused to let go. Xuan Ye was also willing to coax him, and the father and son were together after dinner. , Xuan Ye started to teach him to write, Yin Zuo was very patient, Lan Qi had to rest for a while, seeing that it was getting late, she came to urge her son to go to bed.Can

Walking to the door of Yinzuo's house, I heard Eunuch Li saying inside: "The old concubine knows about it, and will instruct Mrs. Mingzhu, and wait until tomorrow the emperor will let Master Nalan take people to go hunting."

Xuan Ye said: "It's not enough to let the old concubine give her orders. It's better to tell her to make it happen. After all, she is a member of the royal family, so it's impossible to make jokes like this. When she takes the child away, I will naturally make peace with you." Let Rong Ruo say more, Zuo just let him take Shen Wan back."

Eunuch Li said again: "Your Majesty, you have to tell Master Nalan right away, I see, Master Nalan might know that Madam took the child away secretly, and then snatched it out again, and the trouble will be even worse now."

Xuan Ye was really unhappy, and said angrily: "Nalan Rongruo has this problem, I can't take it seriously."

Lan Qi backed away quietly, signaling Huanchun not to speak, thinking about the words the emperor said along the way, she also heard that the woman in Nalan Rongruo's private house gave birth to a son, and Mrs. Mingzhu wanted to bring her grandson back but was caught by them. The two blocked it, and they had been arguing for a while, and even Xuan Ye secretly made a move.

Let's explain that Mrs. Zhu is a relative of the emperor. Her troubles really embarrass the clan. Mingzhu is now an important minister. This incident happened in a well-behaved family, and the emperor intervened.But it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, and it is really not his own woman and child, so he is able to let Mrs. Mingzhu steal the child.

As a result, Lan Qi's face was naturally not very good-looking, and Xuan Ye came over to ask her what was wrong, Lan Qi didn't want to mention it, she just said that her stomach was not feeling well, Xuan Ye naturally took care of her in every possible way, and Lan Qi was treated with tenderness by him. Caring for her, she gradually felt that she was worried about other people's affairs, and she didn't want to mention it.

At the beginning of June, Shengjia mightily led the Eight Banners to hunt outside Gubeikou. In the 20th year of Kangxi, the emperor opened up a hunting ground covering an area of ​​one million hectares, called Mulan Paddock, for marching and training.

Here, the south arches the capital, the north controls Mobei, the mountains and rivers are steep, and the mileage is moderate. In addition to hunting with the tribes of Harqin, Aohan, and Wengniute, and implementing a soft policy to subdue the Mongolian tribes, it also wants to show the majesty of the Eight Banners Lions , Using hunting as an excuse, actually marching and training troops, in order to deter and curb Tsarist Russia's invasion of northern Xinjiang.

That's why Xuanye had another purpose when he mentioned this to the Empress Dowager that day, and the Tsarist Rakshasa was about to move in Yaksa in the old year, so Xuanye had no choice but to shake up his military power at this appropriate time to deter the foreign vassals.

The holy driver came to the Mulan paddock. The concubines and family members gathered together under the guard of the guards to set up a camp. Most of the Manchu and Mongolian women can ride horses and hunt. When you come here, you don’t have to be too rigid about court etiquette. As long as everything does not exceed the etiquette, Xuan Ye is not restrained The concubines ride horses.

It’s just that when Lan Qi accompanied the female family members to hunt and race horses, the horses were exchanged and nearly died. Xuan Ye still remembers it, so he repeatedly told the female family members to use horses to go through several inspections, and the female family members were not allowed to hunt in the siege, and they could only be near the camp. Horseback riding entertainment.

The respected concubines and concubines who came with them were not very happy in the palace. It was rare that the favored concubines did not come this time. They were the only ones in the accompanying harem, so they naturally held the responsibility of taking care of the emperor. Therefore, after two days of coming, the other women saw that they had no chance to get close to the emperor, so they all went to have fun on their own.

Concubine Tong couldn't compete with those concubines Jing because of her weak temper, and because Chuxiu Palace is adjacent to Xianfu Palace, Concubine Wen took care of her more than her own sister in the matter of witchcraft last time, and she was a little bit different from Jue Chan. After coming here, they are in the same tent with Jue Chan, and they can be regarded as taking care of each other. Jue Chan also doesn't want to show off, so the two finally hit it off.

It's just that Concubine Tong was young after all, and the nobles who entered the palace in the same year were very lively. They invited her back and forth several times, and finally they were tempted to go out of the tent to play. Sensei Chan couldn't resist their invitation, so they also came out, but they kept their heads down all the way. , as if afraid of meeting someone.

In fact, before leaving the palace, Jue Chan learned from Concubine Wen Gui that the female family member Nalan Rongruo brought during this trip was Shen Wan from his private house. It was such a coincidence that the young lady was pregnant and could not accompany her. The minister brought the female family members and children to join in the fun, and Nalan Rongruo brought Shen Wan with him.Concubine Wen said to her at that time: "Things are going as we can imagine, you should seize the opportunity, women will always have a chance to meet when they are together."

But all the way to Mulan Paddock, Jue Chan changed her mind. She kept a low profile and deliberately hid behind others. Not only did she not want to see Shen Wan, she even didn't want to see Nalan Rongruo. She kept asking herself why, why? Puzzled.

At this moment, several nobles often surrounded Concubine Tong and went outside the tent, asking the guards to send horses for them to choose. There were already some horses running in the open space in the distance. Several young promises came over enthusiastically to ask Jue Chan: "Sister noble , can you ride a horse?"

"I haven't ridden a horse for many years, so it's impossible." Jue Chan replied politely, the sisters chirped and said, suddenly there was a scream, everyone followed the reputation, and saw a horse jumping in the distance, The person leading the horse was knocked down by the hooves of the horse, and there was a petite woman on the horse. Several guards rushed over, but another person and a horse appeared from nowhere and rushed straight to the place where the accident happened.

Everyone else was yelling about the danger, but Jue Chan's heart seemed to have stopped beating. She could recognize who the horse was riding away with just one glance, and when the man got there, he controlled the horse and unceremoniously pulled the horse away. The woman on the horse hugged him into his arms, with that intimate and gentle appearance, there was no doubt that this strange woman whose face was still unclear was Shen Wan.

"It's Master Nalan." Sure enough, another female family member recognized the man who rushed to save him, and the voice said, "Look at this posture, is this woman the wife and concubine of Master Nalan's family?"

Another person said: "I heard that the young lady did not accompany her when she gave birth. This woman is not a concubine at home. Could it be the Han woman raised in a private house?" Immediately someone said: "It's no wonder that they can ride horses. Jiangnan women can only embroider." .”

Nalan Rongruo's horse was getting closer and closer, and the pair of people on the horse became more and more clear. Jue Chan's eyes were fixed in focus, but everything that was gradually clear suddenly became blurred. The people around her shouted: "What's wrong with you, Mr. Jue Chan?" She fell down when her eyes went dark.

But this time she didn't faint. When the pain of falling on the ground stimulated her to wake up, how much she wished that she could really faint, and how much she wished that she would not see Shen Wan's appearance. At this moment, she realized that she was afraid that she would Completely lost to Shen Wan.
