Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The heavy rain hit her face, and Shen Wan couldn't open her eyes for a long time, but after hearing what the young lady said, she tried her best to open her red eyes in the rain, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please let me see the lady, I will take good care of you Madam apologizes, but I beg Madam to return the child to me, I don’t want anything, I can compromise on anything, I just ask you to return the child to me.”

"Although I pity you, there is nothing I can do to help you. Er Niang is not at home. She said that she is not well enough to go to a quiet place to recuperate. But where she went, and if she is still in the capital, I don't know." The young lady stepped back halfway. As if he was afraid that Shen Wan would pounce on him, he said helplessly, "I really can't help you. There is no shortage of children in the family. Why should I rob you? But if you still care about Nian Rongruo, don't pester you here. You've lost all face of the Lan family."

Saying so, a sedan chair came from a distance, and the sharp-eyed servant said: "The master is back." A group of people hurriedly opened the door and lined up, seeing Shen Wan still lingering in front of the door, they all went to drag her, but Rao is a petite woman, at this moment she has the aura of being a man who is in charge of everything, but she can't be pulled away, seeing Mingzhu's sedan chair approaching.

The servants held up umbrellas to pick up the master from the sedan chair. Mingzhu saw a woman in a state of embarrassment who had fallen at the door. He couldn't tell who it was under the heavy rain. Hearing that the servants said it was the woman whose son was kept in the outer room, she was immediately annoyed and went straight to the door while ignoring her. Walking away, he already whispered to the people beside him angrily: "Don't let me see her again."

When I got to the door, I saw my daughter-in-law waiting, and I couldn't help but blame: "You are pregnant, what are you doing out on a rainy day?"

"Ama, but look there." The young lady pointed to Shen Wan outside the door, but was scolded by her father-in-law, "Your majestic wife, what right does she have to come to see you? Room, you may still have the responsibility to control, what is the difference between such a wild woman with no name and no distinction, and a show in the fireworks scene? Go back quickly."

The young lady didn't dare to talk back and refute, she lowered her head and waited for her father-in-law to enter the door before glaring at Shen Wan hatefully, but just as she turned around to enter the door, she suddenly heard the horse's hooves rushing towards the rain, she turned around and saw Rong Ruo from the horse's back. Turning up and down, she covered Shen Wan who fell on the ground. She couldn't hear what they were talking about under the heavy rain, but her husband came back, and it was like this again. The young lady was afraid that Rong Ruo would misunderstand her and bully Shen Wan , came out in a hurry again.

When she got close, she heard Rongruo say: "Come home with me, I will find the child back, Wan'er, trust me."

Shen Wan cried helplessly: "It's all my fault, I know, it's all my fault, let me see your mother, let me make amends to her, and return the child to me..."

"Rong Ruo, take her away quickly, it's so embarrassing to be like this in front of the door." The young lady hurriedly said, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, "Ama just entered the door, so I must know that you are here, don't want to If you cause trouble, take her away."

But amidst the rain, Rong Ruo cast a resentful look at his wife, his cold words were colder than the rain, "They are all mothers, you don't feel sorry for her at all, why did you take our child away? It's embarrassing What about losing your child? What would you do if your child is gone?"

The young lady turned pale with anger, and said angrily, "What are you blaming me for? Am I the one who snatched your child? You bring a woman with no name and no distinction to accuse me of wronging me, Nalan Rongruo, have you considered me?" How do you feel? Do you know that there is no young lady who lives as humble as me?"

Rong Ruo was also in a hurry, he didn't think about the seriousness of what he said, and he didn't bother to say more to his wife. He picked up the embarrassed Shen Wan and wanted to take her back, but before he put her on the horse, he heard the old mother behind him. The nuns yelled: "What's the matter, young mistress? Come on, come quickly, what's the matter, young mistress?"

Rong Ruo hugged Shen Wan, and watched helplessly as the servants hurriedly carried his wife in, and a servant ran inside and said, "Master, please come in, young mistress is not very good."

Rong Ruo lowered his head and looked at Shen Wan in his arms. She had been doused by the heavy rain as if she was dying, but she spat out a few words decisively: "Put me down, I don't want to enter your house, let me go back, go by yourself .”

"I'll take you back." Rong Ruo didn't even think about it, got on the horse with Shen Wan in his arms, and under the persuasion of a servant girl from the whole family, he rushed into the rain without looking back.

Two days later, when Mrs. Mingzhu hurried home from nowhere, her daughter-in-law had a miscarriage. In the heavy rain that day, she was so angry with her son and Shen Wansheng that she was so angry that her baby was gone. .

This incident caused a lot of trouble in the city, Mingzhu felt ashamed when asked about it by her colleagues in the court, Rong Ruo also reported illness and disappeared for several days, it was widely spread, and even the female family members in the palace used it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

This day Lan Qi was accompanying the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. She often looked at the Empress Dowager and Yinqi in a daze. She didn't even hear what the Empress Dowager said. She was reminded by Aunt Su Mala and asked with a smile: " What is the empress thinking in her heart, so lost in thought?"

Lan Qi doesn't care about Nalan Rongruo or Shen Wan, she has sympathy for the young lady who lost her child, everything else has nothing to do with her, right now she is thinking about Xuan Ye saying that she will take the born daughter to Ningshou Seeing that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are both here, and whether there is anyone else in front of her, she boldly said: "I am very confused about something, and I would like to ask the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to explain it to me."

The two elders glanced at each other, asking her to say it's all right, Lan Qi then mentioned the emperor's idea, although she hadn't made up her mind yet, she knew that it was Xuan Ye's intention, this matter was indeed beneficial and harmless, The only pitiful thing is probably her own reluctance.

But it turned out that the Empress Dowager didn't know about this, so she said with a strange smile: "What does the Emperor think, is it because I feel sorry for me being too idle, or because I feel sorry for you for working too hard?"

Lan Qi didn't dare to say anything about her daughter not marrying far away in the future. If she regretted, she shouldn't have told this matter without asking Xuan Ye, but the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "This matter is related to Xuan Ye and Xuan Ye. I mentioned it, and I think it's okay, anyway, Concubine Yi has always felt aggrieved about why she should give Brother Fifth to you to raise, and if she gives Lan Qi's daughter to you, she will have nothing to say."

The queen mother didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "The queen mother's words are good, but the concubine brought the fifth prince to prevent her from seeing it. Could it be that in the future, Lan Qi will not be allowed to see the daughter?"

Lan Qi looked at the two elders pitifully. It wasn't that she was extremely unwilling in her heart, but that the conflict was just difficult to choose, which had already confused her.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "How can Lan Qi not be allowed to see the child? Her daughter is placed in the Ningshou Palace. She has to take care of the body that has been born again and again. She is busy with the emperor's affairs and the palace. I only ask you for a favor to take care of the two children with all my heart, it’s no different from taking care of the grandchildren by the elders of the Pingtou people’s family. It’s just a scary thing to say, saying that the children will be sent to Ningshou Palace.”

Lan Qi listened silently, she knew that the Empress Dowager had already made a decision for her, and she had no choice.

The queen mother is very happy, she has brought a Yinqi, and she likes children more and more, the boys are naughty and the girls are well-behaved, if there is another little princess now, it will be a good word, but after thinking about it, she asked with a smile: "If We, Lan Qi, are even more lucky, how about getting another prince?"

The Empress Dowager seated on the seat said leisurely: "Naturally I also need your help, but the young couple wanted a girl so much that they said that."

This matter was settled just like that. When the empress dowager said that even her son was going to be sent there, Lan Qi couldn't believe her ears. Soon the empress dowager said goodbye and left in a good mood. Get off to Lanqi, and wait for Mammy Su Mala to come back and say that the queen mother has left, the empress dowager suddenly ordered Lanqi: "Kneel down."

Lan Qi was startled, and the nurse next to her hurriedly said: "The empress is pregnant with a child, master..."

But the Empress Dowager stared at Lan Qi coldly, seeing that there was still a menacing aura in her old eyes, Lan Qi was terrified, she left her seat tremblingly and bowed her knees, Aunt Su Mala loved her so much, she supported her and carefully let her go She knelt on the ground, while persuading: "If the master has anything to say, let the empress get up and say it."

The Empress Dowager said, "Xuan Ye never told me what you said just now, and you have seen it even more, Empress Dowager, and you don't know it at all."

Lan Qi nodded, she really regretted it, why did things take a turn for the worse, so it was settled like this?

"It's because we pampered you and hurt you, making you lose your sense of proportion." The Empress Dowager was not angry but powerful, and every word shocked Lan Qi's heart. She had long been used to being coaxed by the old grandmother. It has been a long time since such a strict instruction was given.

The Empress Dowager said: "Xuan Ye puts you at the top of his heart, so what he said to you may not be told to others. He never revealed this matter to me and the Empress Dowager, but you have no brains. Saying it out, originally Xuan Ye only cared about your feelings, but now that you have said it in front of the Queen Mother, Xuan Ye doesn’t care about the Queen Mother’s feelings anymore? He is the emperor who pours out the water when he speaks out. "

Lan Qi couldn't help shedding tears, she didn't know whether it was because she wanted to send the child to Ningshou Palace to feel uncomfortable, or because she blamed herself for her abruptness and recklessness today, and the Empress Dowager felt distressed and angry when she saw her cry, and blamed her: : "What's the use of crying?"

Aunt Su Mala smiled and said, "Master, don't scold me any more. Your Majesty is pregnant with a child. Don't you feel sorry for your Majesty, or your grandson?" Send it directly to the master to sit next to, the empress dowager nodded her head and said, "Isn't it stupid to be pregnant with a child?"

"The concubine knows it's wrong." Lan Qi hung her head, wiped away her tears, and then heard the old grandmother say, "You guys are doing well, what is Xuan Ye doing to send the child to Ningshou Palace, I heard you said it was a girl , why does it have to be a girl?"

Lan Qi didn't dare to hide any more, and told her that Xuan Ye promised her that their daughter would not marry far away. The Empress Dowager didn't think it was inappropriate. It is indeed wrong to be abrupt, patiently taught: "You have to remember, no matter who else is involved in what Xuan Ye said to you, it will always be a matter between you. Before you have communicated and made a decision, don't take it arbitrarily. Leaving aside the other party, go to discuss it with others, at least you should not discuss it with the people involved in the matter. Today is a lesson, since I have made a decision, go and talk to the emperor yourself."

"Will the emperor scold his concubine?" Lan Qi asked the empress dowager pitifully, she felt that even though Xuan Ye thought so, she might make him angry by doing something impulsive. It's even more likely that Xuan Ye has changed his mind, and ended up screwed up by himself.

"You deserve to be scolded. I have been looking forward to your progress all these years, but I have spoiled you without knowing it. You deserve it." The Empress Dowager blamed her in her mouth, but she still loved her in her heart. In the end, she came forward to invite the emperor here, and brought this The decision of the matter was made, but Xuan Ye did not change his mind. Seeing that he had made the decision by mistake, and knowing that Lan Qi had been scolded by his grandmother, he just thought it was funny and said to her, "Now you can't blame me. , but you sent your daughter out by yourself."

The empress dowager and the emperor repeatedly said that taking Lan Qi's child to the Ningshou Palace was not for adoption or taking away, but just asking the empress dowager to take care of her. There are other things waiting for Lan Qi who are too busy. As the child's mother, she still has many responsibilities to bear, and Lan Qi was gradually convinced.

Afterwards, it was just to gossip, Xuan Ye took a breather and took a rest here with his grandmother, but when talking about some trivial matters, the Empress Dowager brought up the joke about the riots in the Mingzhu Mansion, and said Xuan Ye with a cold face: "Both father and son are yours. Minister, the emperor can't turn a blind eye, he will be pointed at by the courtiers behind his back. What's more, you were the first to acquiesce in allowing this woman to stay by Nalan Rongruo's side. Now that it's like this, you should let them have a good ending. A whore, why?"

Lan Qi glanced at the emperor, she remembered what Xuan Ye said to Eunuch Li in Yinzuo's house before going to the Mulan paddock, that the emperor was the one who asked Mrs. Mingzhu to steal the child. Speaking of these things, the emperor really intervened. Things turned out like this, and the young lady even lost a little life.Therefore, it is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, so why should Xuanye bother.

But the emperor didn't care much, and calmly said to the emperor's grandmother: "Mingzhu and her party members have become more and more self-righteous recently. They know they should keep a low profile. Isn't grandson more at ease? Grandmother doesn't have to worry, grandson is watching."

Lan Qi was startled. It turned out that the emperor's purpose was to restrain Mingzhu's presence in the court. If she had rashly persuaded the emperor not to do such a cruel thing, it would have greatly violated his original intention.Xuan Ye might not be angry because of this, but if he couldn't even understand him well, but was eager to refute and persuade him, then he would be so lonely and frustrated. Being an emperor is really not easy.

Seeing her in a daze, Xuan Ye smiled and said, "Why are you in a daze?"
