Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xuan Ye was also very surprised to see Lan Qi wandering outside, "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep, are you feeling unwell?"

Lan Qi saw that his words were concerned, but his expression didn't show. She knew something was not happy. She heard that elder brother made her father angry today, but the news of his illness had not reached her in time before she heard about it. Ye babbled on and on, whenever he, as a father, was troubled by this, Lan Qi would actually feel warm in his heart just looking at it.

It is said that the emperor is ruthless, but Xuan Ye is a good father, no matter whether he can take care of every child in the future, no matter whether the children will grow up and be more different from their father in the future, at least he has always tried to be a good father. Lan Qi has been watching all of this for so many years.

"What are you laughing at?" Xuan Ye leaned on Lan Qi's kang, and she stood there with her stomach full and unbuttoned her boots. Xuan Ye lazily let him manipulate him, and after relaxing, he rubbed his forehead and said, "This big boy Elder brother, it's so screwed up, why did he have such a temper? His mother is also a cautious person. I never dared to do this to the emperor's grandmother, but this kid is always stubborn with me. What is there to be unconvinced about? "

Lan Qi was turning her back and twisting the handkerchief in the basin held by Huan Chun, the master and the servant looked at each other, she felt that Huan Chun also seemed to understand the truth, did Xuan Ye not think of it or did he want to admit it?It must be the prince who is not convinced by the elder brother. After all, he is the elder brother, and his position is very different from that of Yinzhi and Yinzhen. A brother is not as good as a prince, and he can't hide this brotherhood.

Waiting for the emperor to wipe his face, Lan Qi asked him if he was hungry. His mouth would be dry after a day of lectures, so it was easy to get angry. But Ye said: "Where is the time to wait for you to stew and eat, your master will also rest, waiting for this is so troublesome."

"It's the concubine's food. It's good to heat it up ready-made. It takes a little time to make tea. Please calm down, Your Majesty." Lan Qi asked Huan Chun to prepare, and she sat beside him and gave him a gentle massage. Gently comforting, "The emperor is always fussy about children, it's not good. Look at the empress dowager, even though you were obedient and smart when you were young, you didn't always say that Prince Yu and the others were very irritable when they were young, no less Make the empress dowager angry? The empress dowager is not as impatient as you."

Xuan Ye glared at her: "Are you comforting me, or scolding me?"

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously, just smiled: "At worst, you lose your temper and scold the concubine, it's good to let go of the sulk in your heart."

"I scolded you to relieve my anger, and I should regret it when I look back. It's not worth it." Xuan Ye leaned on the pillow and remained silent for a while before saying, "I know why he is not convinced, but if he has the ability, he will do it better and be more presentable." , I have no ability or patience, so why not be convinced?"

Lan Qi persuaded: "I heard that elder brother is very good at riding and shooting, the emperor has to look at elder brother's strengths."

Xuan Ye shook his head: "If it is good, it is good. If you have to compare it, the prince is also diligent now. This kid really knows what 'disobedience' is. You don't need to wait for others to remind him, let alone let others have the opportunity to say that he is dissatisfied. Alright, I'll make progress first, but Yinti can only play with his temper."

After Lan Qi listened, she thought for a while before asking: "Does the emperor feel that it is not easy to enlighten elder brother? After all, the prince's matter is still involved, and he may not be able to listen to it."

Xuan Ye nodded and said nothing, his face was heavy, his eyes were closed as if he was resting and he seemed unwilling to open them to face the reality, it took him a long time before he said: "It's like this now, and he will be even more unconvinced as a subject in the future. After a while When Prince Nian grows up, I want his brothers to respect the Crown Prince as much as the ministers, is it because of his disobedience that this matter can be avoided?"

Lan Qi knew that one day, these concubines would treat the prince differently, not to mention elder brother.

Huanchun brought rock sugar pears, and Lan Qi persuaded the emperor twice before she was willing to use them, but she slowly said from the side: "I feel that the emperor is talking about two things. You are angry today because you are angry. Elder Brother doesn't care about his studies, but what he's talking about now is that he is afraid that Elder Brother will disobey the Crown Prince and disrespect him."

Xuan Ye drank most of the bowl, frowned and asked her, "How do you say it?"

"The concubine has no good ideas. I don't think it's reliable even if I think about it. The emperor wants to hear it?" Lan Qi was polite and humble, but Xuan Ye stared at her and blamed her for being hypocritical, so she said with a smile, "The emperor always praised me for a while. Big brother, back then I often heard that big brother was doing well, and you will praise him more in the future. If you don’t talk about it in the future, you are still a half-grown child after all, and children are most likely to listen to good things about him. Think again , Big brother is always unconvinced because he is not as good as the prince, so don't compare him with the prince. Big brother is big brother, and prince is prince. There is no comparison, so you can't tell the difference. Big brother There is always something good about my elder brother, and this concubine feels that this straightforward temperament is also good."

Xuan Ye really said: "If you don't compare, how will you know his shortcomings? It's even more difficult to make progress."

"This is indeed a disadvantage of not comparing, but now the emperor only sees the shortcomings of the elder brother, and wiped out all the good things in him. Obviously he is just a prince, so you have to compare it with the prince." Lan Qi no longer hesitated. , said in one sentence, "Think about it, the emperor, do you really want to see the prince being compared to the elder brother? Before the prince was not as good as the elder brother in riding and shooting, you were not less angry. Since no matter who is strong or weak, you If you're not happy, what's more important?"

Xuan Ye was stunned, this is really the truth, comparatively speaking, he would rather see the eldest brother not as good as the prince, than see the prince not as good as the eldest brother, if that is the case, why is he angry?

Lan Qi smiled and asked with a look of pride in talking about other people's thoughts: "It can be seen that our elder brother is not good enough, but my father is too partial."

"You're the only one who is smart?" Xuan Ye was not convinced. It could be seen that he smiled so nicely, and he was in a good mood. He reached out and rubbed Lan Qi's face, and said as if he didn't like it enough, "I usually think you are long-winded, but when it's urgent, you can still Tell some truths, and learn from the emperor's grandmother."

Lan Qi called Huanchun to collect the things, and then served to wash her mouth and wash her hands. She put the emperor on the bed early to let him rest, and said with a smile: "The empress dowager said that making you happy is the first responsibility of the concubines. What face does the concubine have to go to the Palace of Compassion?"

Xuan Ye asked her why she didn't change clothes and went to sleep, Lan Qi said: "Yinzuo has been making a lot of noise these few days, my concubine will go and have a look, the emperor will be quiet for a while, and my concubine will be back in a while."

It was only then that Xuan Ye remembered his original intention of coming to the Yonghe Palace, and told her: "Be careful on the dark road, I heard that you guys like to gather together when you give birth, and I was afraid that you would also get pregnant, so I came here to have a look." After speaking, she was worried after all, turned over and put on some clothes, and came to Yinzuo's room with Lan Qi.

The little guy in the dream was quite stable, the two of them watched for a while before leaving, Xuan Ye asked Yin Zuo what was going on, Lan Qi didn't hesitate, and said that it was because she couldn't play with the fourth elder brother for a long time, and she was pestering her to find him every day. Brother, if you are in a hurry, you will inevitably discipline your children. The relationship between mother and son has not been very good these days.But she didn't want to interfere with the affairs of Chengqian Palace, and even bluntly persuaded the emperor: "The child will get better gradually, don't ask too much, Your Majesty, no one loves the fourth elder brother more than the imperial concubine."

"Although Yinzhen is young, his mind is very delicate. Among my sons, he is the most different." Xuanye thought thoughtfully, "But I don't quite understand whether it is because of him or because of him. Being adopted by the imperial concubine made him look at him differently."

Lan Qi didn't say anything more, and she would feel worried if she talked too much, so she waited for the emperor to go to bed early.Xuan Ye was really tired from giving lectures these days, and he fell asleep before he could say a few words when he lay down. Naturally, being by Lan Qi's side reassured him, so he had a peaceful night. The next morning, he left Yonghe Palace full of energy. One day, the ministers were all tired, but the emperor became more energetic.

People in the palace were busy presenting congratulations to Concubine Yi, and Yonghe Palace was not left behind. Because of her good health, Lan Qi came to congratulate Concubine Yi herself, but Concubine Yi joked, "What are you doing here with your stomach upright? Sit down and go back, I have withdrawn the delivery room here, if you are about to give birth, no one will attend to you."

There was a burst of laughter in the room, the concubines said they were lucky, Concubine Yi persuaded Lan Qi to move around more, saying that she would walk around Yikun Palace for more than half an hour every day in the next few months, this time giving birth to Brother Nine went smoothly, and there was no accident. What a pain to eat.

Lan Qi also understands these reasons. Seeing Concubine Yi's enthusiasm, she agreed with a smile. She didn't plan to sit for a long time, but she just wanted to say goodbye and leave. There were guests outside, and it was Concubine Wen who came in person. , The women greeted them one after another and saluted.

Concubine Wen came in with a big belly, and seeing Lan Qi beside her, her face was not very good-looking, and she finally spoke politely: "Concubine De is here too?"

"The concubine came to congratulate Concubine Yi for giving birth to Brother Nine." Lan Qi said modestly, and stepped aside to ask Concubine Gui to go first. Concubine Wen didn't exchange any more greetings, and went straight to the door to talk to Concubine Yi. The politeness on the scene, Concubine Wen left after sitting for a long time, Lan Qi waited for her to walk away, and left with a smile.

After they all left, the people left behind started chattering. The concubine Jing sneered and said, "Your Majesty, did you see the resentment on Concubine Wen's face? It must be because the emperor was not happy when he went to the Yonghe Palace last night. I used to see the concubine's treatment of virtue." The concubine is so affectionate, this is the first time the concubine has seen her look like this."

Someone beside him said: "Empress Yi is not upset about giving birth to brother Jiu who has worked so hard. What kind of anger is there for Concubine Wen?"

Concubine Yi smiled and said nothing, after listening to the gossip for a long time, they didn't dare to disturb the mother's rest, so they left one after another.Concubine Hui didn't come to see her until evening, because her elder brother had a fever, she couldn't take care of it, and she just walked in and talked to Concubine Yi from a distance, Concubine Yi said to her: "Sister, take care, today Concubine Wen came here with resentment all over her face, be careful not to offend her."
