Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi never expected that the imperial concubine could put down her airs and do such a thing.She thought that Xuan Ye would come forward in the end, or the Empress Dowager would intervene later. Even though she believed that the imperial concubine had been working hard to resolve Yinzhen's knots, she didn't dare to hope that she would come to find a way for herself.

When Qinglian said that day, Lan Qi felt incredible, but Qinglian begged her again and again: "Your Majesty is about to give birth, so I shouldn't have labored for you, but the master really can't help it. Everyone said that the person who untied the bell had to tie it. Concubine, you can take a trip because you are tired."

Lan Qi made up her mind and said: "You report to my mother for me. I can do it when I am here. What to do and what to say. Later, you will listen to your mother's order and tell me."

Qinglian left gratefully, and came back not long after to tell Lan Qi what to do, saying that the imperial concubine was afraid that the fourth elder brother would be more disgusted by such an arrangement immediately, so she decided to talk about it in two days, but Yinzhen had a cough a few days later, It never worked out.

Everyone in Huanchun was worried about whether the imperial concubine had changed her mind, but Lan Qi waited patiently day by day, occasionally Xuan Ye came to accompany her, because she knew that she and the imperial concubine had such a tacit understanding, she would not interfere at all, and waited for them to solve it by themselves , giving trust to both Lan Qi and the imperial concubine.

The days passed by in a flash, and on this day, the maids of Chengqian Palace came to invite Concubine De to go out, and it was already the middle of September.

Now it was Huan Chun who refused to go out, and advised the master full of worry: "You can give birth anytime and anywhere, even though you are only going to the Imperial Garden, if the road is uncomfortable, it will be bad if you make a mistake."

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously, and asked them to prepare for a change of clothes, and said in a good mood: "Look, my stomach is still up, and the baby doesn't seem to be in the pot yet, and the imperial doctor said it's the end of the month, so it's early."

Huanchun couldn't resist, so he could only dress neatly, surrounded by left and right arms, and sent to the Imperial Garden in a soft sedan chair.Qinglian was already waiting outside, came up to help her, and said very politely: "The master is leading the fourth elder brother to play hide-and-seek inside, and she will leave in a while, please stay alone with the fourth elder brother, and you can do whatever you want All right. It’s just that your health is important, if you can’t explain it to the fourth elder brother, or if the fourth elder brother runs away, don’t chase after him, if you get pregnant, wouldn’t it be the fourth elder brother’s fault?”

"I have a sense of proportion, you tell the empress, please rest assured." Lan Qi agreed, and Qinglian helped her walk from another direction to the place where the fourth elder brother was inside. When she stood still, she looked at the imperial concubine from a distance, and the emperor The noble concubine's face was sullen, still full of reluctance, when Qinglian came to her, she looked at Lan Qi again, turned around and left.

"Master, you must be careful." Huan Chun was very worried, and reluctantly left Lan Qi alone, and Lu Zhu and the others also backed away. Seeing her walking in step by step, Lu Zhu said worriedly, " Why am I so flustered?"

Lan Qi calmed down and walked slowly inside. Under the big pine tree, the fourth elder brother was leaning on the trunk, muttering something in his mouth. Before she could get closer, he saw the child turned around excitedly and shouted: "Er Niang , I want to come to you..." But when he suddenly saw the potbellied Lan Qi standing behind him, the little guy froze immediately.

"Si elder brother, are you looking for Er Niang?" Lan Qi asked with a smile, but when Er Niang said it, the sudden heartache made her worry about gains and losses. She knew that if Yin Zhen hated her today, her future relationship would be even less clear. what will become.

"Concubine Defei is auspicious." Unexpectedly, after the fourth elder brother woke up, he bowed in a proper manner, got up and lowered his head and said: "Emother, she probably went back, then I will go back to Chengqian Palace, Concubine De, please take your time."

Obviously the voice is still so immature and cute, but she speaks sophisticated words. The imperial concubine taught the rules of the palace very well, and the manners of speaking to others, Yinzhen is no worse than brothers and sisters, and even more sensible than them, but how can a five-year-old child be so? With this appearance, he is now full of fear that he can't avoid, and he is on guard against his mother as a villain.

"Fourth elder brother, shall we talk?" At this point, Lan Qi did not intend to hesitate, and said calmly, "Sixth elder brother likes fourth elder brother the most, but you have ignored him recently, sixth elder brother is very angry every day. Unhappy, ask me every day why the fourth brother doesn't like him anymore. Fourth elder brother, don't you like your younger brother?"

But I don't know if he was restrained by etiquette, he didn't dare to go if the Concubine De concubine refused to let him go, or he really wanted to stay and listen to these words, Yinzhen moved a few steps and then stood still, frowning on his face Exactly the same as Xuan Ye, he pursed his lips tightly, and when he saw Concubine De walking towards him, he took a step back unconsciously.

When Lan Qi saw her son backing away, her heart ached, she tried her best to hold up her smile, and asked Yinzhen gently: "Can you tell Empress De, what my brother did wrong, and I will let him correct it, okay?"

Yinzhen looked at her, and suddenly pointed at her belly: "I am the same, I was born by your mother, right? My mother is also like this, a little sister born."

Instead, Lan Qi was stunned, but the little guy in her stomach was excited and moved around for some reason, which made her suddenly feel uncomfortable, and her breathing became a little heavy, and she replied with a hard smile: "Yes, the fourth elder brother was born like this too. It came down. Your birthday will be next month, right, you were still in my stomach at this time in the past. "

"That's why Er Niang said, you are my Er Niang." Yinzhen put his hands behind his back, looked down at his shoes, rubbed the dirt on the ground from time to time, hesitated for a long time before saying, "But I like it." My mother, I don't want to leave my mother."

Lan Qi hurriedly said: "No one will take you away, the imperial concubine loves Si elder brother so much, no one can compare, right?"

"Well, no one can compare to Er Niang." Yinzhen agreed, then suddenly looked up at Lan Qi and said, "You are also inferior to Er Niang, just like to my younger brother, no one can compare to you, Concubine De Ma'am, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Although Lan Qi was heartbroken, she was very relieved, and felt that her son was so smart that he could say such a thing, so she approached the child a little bit, and seeing that he didn't back away, she still smiled and asked: "Is Yinzhen worried that I will be killed by you?" Take him away, you are not happy, so you ignore your brother? If you want Empress De to hook you up, Empress De will definitely not take you away, and no one will force you to go where Yinzhen doesn't want to go. "

"But, but..." Yinzhen pouted and looked at Lan Qi worriedly, as if organizing what he wanted to say in his head, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "I can't flirt with you, if I get along with you , Erniang will be jealous, Erniang will be sad, but I can't make Erniang sad."

Lan Qi was stunned, it turned out that Yinzhen's heart was not about whether he would be sent away, but he was worried that the imperial concubine would be sad?

Thinking about the past days, although Yinzhen didn't know that she was the biological mother, but because she was close to Yinzuo and was very close to herself, when the two brothers played with her, they would act coquettishly and cuddle without any scruples. Qi is in a daze whether his son has never left.Thinking about it now, he must have remembered these things as well, so he reflected that he was too close to his biological mother, which would annoy his adoptive mother. This child is still so young, how could he think of such deep and detailed things?

"Empress Defei, I don't want Erniang to be sad, and there are other brothers and sisters, you let Yinzuo..." "Fourth elder brother." Lan Qi suddenly squatted down. For her with a big belly, this is extremely strenuous. , but she did so involuntarily, hugged Yinzhen's shoulders with both hands, and tried to smile gently and softly, "Er Niang won't be jealous, but Er Niang will be happy because of it, because the fourth elder brother is a filial child, the fourth elder brother Do you know what filial piety is?"

Yinzhen nodded: "Eniang taught me." He was restrained by Lan Qi, but he did not resist. In any case, all these years, Empress Defei has always been a very gentle and amiable person in his heart.

Lan Qi didn't want to talk about coaxing the child, so she told him truthfully: "Back then, the imperial concubine was allowed to take care of you so that you could be better taken care of. Since then, the imperial concubine has been the fourth elder brother's mother. When you grow up, you will find that such things are very common, and now you are afraid that Er Niang will be sad, but in fact, to us adults, this is really not important, it's just that you are still young and don't understand, fourth elder brother."

As expected, Yinzhen didn't quite understand, so he looked at Lan Qi in a daze, and when he got closer, he saw beads of sweat on Lan Qi's forehead due to exertion, and asked in a low voice, "Miss De, are you hot?"

Lan Qi continued to speak solemnly, chasing her son's gaze and asking her to look at herself, "Si elder brother, you have to know that it doesn't matter who gave birth to you, the most important thing is who takes care of you and who raises you. Tell Empress De, who took care of you?"

"It's my mother." Yinzhen said confidently.

Lan Qi smiled and said: "That's good, you just need to remember these, and then you can be the son of Er Niang with peace of mind, and be a good and filial child. If you are as happy as before, Er Niang will be very happy. You Do you know? Because you are unhappy, Er Niang has not been happy for a long time. Now the fourth elder brother will go to Er Niang and tell her that you understand, and you will play well with the sixth elder brother. Mom don't worry anymore."

Yinzhen looked at Lan Qi hesitantly, and asked cautiously: "Is it really enough for me to just remember Er Niang? Then Empress De Concubine, won't you be sad?"

"Me?" Lan Qi felt a surge of heat in her heart, she didn't know how to answer, and then she heard Yinzhen say, "I like my mother-in-law, but I also like Empress Defei, it's just that you were different before, but now Why is it the same again?"

With wet eyes, Lan Qi coaxed him and said: "I won't be sad, as long as Si elder brother is happy, I will be happy, and your mother-in-law will be happy too. Children should do children's things, wait for you to grow up Now, can you think about these things you don't understand?"

Although Yinzhen still didn't quite understand, but he felt comfortable, he was a little happy, and with a smile on his face, he politely said to Lan Qi: "Then I'll go to find Erniang, Empress Defei, I'll go first."

Lan Qi let go of her hand a little bit, Yinzhen ran away, a gust of wind passed by her face, Lan Qi was about to calm down, but her stomach twitched, and her clothes kept dripping out from under her body, she knew that the amniotic fluid must have broken, but her body was heavy , No longer able to stand up, his knees felt weak and he sat down.

It happened that Yinzhen turned around and wanted to say goodbye to Concubine De, and suddenly saw her fall, and the little guy ran over immediately. Seeing him coming back, Lan Qi forced a smile: "Fourth elder brother, go find Emiang quickly, and tell her, De Concubine. The imperial concubine is about to give birth to a baby."

Yinzhen also understood what it means to be uncomfortable. Seeing Concubine De's face covered with sweat, she asked anxiously, "Ms. De, do you have a stomachache?"

Lan Qi insisted that it was all right, and asked him to find the imperial concubine quickly, Yinzhen ran away uneasy again, but immediately turned back, took Lan Qi's hand and said, "Mistress De, you must be well."
