Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Last night, the imperial concubine and several Fujins got drunk, she was rude in front of everyone, and she was sent back halfway through the banquet, so why the emperor didn't go to Chengqian Palace to come to Yonghe Palace on a festive day, but there are still people under the imperial concubine. Concubine, the emperor doesn't take care of others, so I don't blame Lan Qi for being ignored when she met Concubine Wen on the way, and today's sarcasm did not surprise her.

The queen mother was very embarrassed, and she was not very happy. She carefully put the child into Lan Qi's arms, pretending she didn't hear it, and just said to her: "The little girl is very good, she doesn't cry at all, she is completely different from Yin Qi when she was a child." , is it a female doll, does she already know that she is a princess, the most noble golden branch and jade leaf?"

After being told by the Queen Mother, Lan Qi felt more at ease. Her daughter was so beautiful that she couldn't help but want to be proud. She had never seen such a beautiful baby. How this little girl will look like in the future ?She smiled and said to the queen mother: "You should teach the princess like you taught the fifth elder brother. I'm really afraid that she will be too proud in the future relying on your favor."

"The princess is naturally proud. She was born rich and honored, and she is more self-respecting." The queen mother smiled, and this sentence was naturally half a joke. Be good, more polite than Yinzuo, Yinqi can already remember to salute and greet people when he sees people, but Yinzuo always has to dial before moving.

"Emiang, show me my little sister." At this moment, Yinzuo was pulling his mother's skirt to look at his sister anxiously. The queen mother picked him up and sat on her lap. Lan Qi bent slightly to show her son her sister. Said to him, "Now Yinzuo has so many younger brothers and sisters, you are also a big brother, you can't be naughty anymore, you know?"

Yin Zuo should know loudly, but the little princess was startled, and when the little princess cried, the ten princes in the imperial concubine's arms also cried, and there were two baby babies crying in the small warm pavilion, which made people have a headache However, Yin Zuo, the culprit, went to play with the fifth elder brother freely. Lan Qi smiled and sighed to the queen mother: "You also help the concubine take care of the sixth elder brother. This child is too skinny, and the concubine doesn't know what to teach him. , Compared to my older brothers and younger brothers, it’s really a headache.”

Concubine Wen Guifei seemed to be incapable of hearing the cry of the child. The wet nurse had already taken Elder Brother Shi away from her arms, and being ignored by the Empress Dowager and Lan Qi just now made her full of anger. I couldn't take it anymore, but the Queen Mother suddenly remembered the past and reminded her: "In the past, the eighth elder brother cried every day, which made you uneasy and even suffered from hysteria. Take the medicine."

Originally Concubine Wen was the one who made fun of Lan Qi, but now she has become the Queen Mother mocking her. Fortunately, no one else was there, otherwise Concubine Wen would lose all face. Think about how she often came to coax the Queen Mother when she heard Chan’s words in recent years I am happy, I always think that there is some kind of affection, but I don't want to think that it is a waste of painstaking efforts, and it can't be worth the sending of my own flesh and blood to please.

"Yes, my concubine will be careful." Concubine Wen Gui could only be patient, otherwise what else could be done?But seeing Concubine De patiently and joyfully coaxing the crying little princess, the little girl was gradually coaxed by her mother to stop crying, and was even teased to babble happily by Concubine De's winking, she felt inexplicably more uncomfortable.

But the Queen Mother continued: "Brother Shi is only full moon, don't hug him all the time, how about freezing outside when it's cold?"

Concubine Wen Gui immediately became angry, and suddenly said: "The concubine is leaving."

The atmosphere in the hall was awkward for a moment, she felt rude when she woke up, but she couldn't take back what she said, the queen mother was kind-hearted and didn't embarrass her, she said: "Last night it snowed and the road was slippery, you ask the little eunuch to carry the sedan chair slowly Let's go." Only then did the atmosphere ease and let her go down the steps.

After Concubine Wen left, the wet nurse came to pick up the little princess. Seeing the maid serving tea, Lan Qi personally took it to serve her, and sat down with the Queen Mother to drink tea. Don't take it to heart, she is also younger than you, although she is more noble, you just let her go, and there is no need to talk about respect or disrespect."

Lan Qi agreed, served the tea skillfully and handed it to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager sighed again: "Looking at the magnanimity of the imperial concubine, she has finally made progress. I really don't know when this one will be able to see things. She is not worse than her own sister." At 01:30, Empress Niu Hulu used to come to Ningshou Palace to visit me often. It was sincere filial piety. I was so tired looking at her. You also have some fate with Empress Niu Hulu. Just look at her face."

"You still love the concubine and concubine very much, and the concubines didn't say they were unhappy, you just spoke for the concubine." Lan Qi said with a leisurely smile, "Madam Su Mala often said that the concubine was broad-minded, but the emperor said that It was the nanny who made the courtiers and concubines happy, but in fact, the ministers and concubines are thick-skinned, and a few casual words from others really won't hurt their hearts."

The Empress Dowager laughed and blamed her for talking nonsense, but her mood improved and she spoke cheerfully. She was even more happy when she mentioned the little princess, so that Lan Qi could put her daughter here at ease, and even told her: "You don't have to be unable to come to see me just because of Concubine Yi." Fifth elder brother and I don't come here often, you are different, not to mention Concubine Yi now has ninth elder brother, looking at her posture, she doesn't necessarily miss her son. Yin Qi's birthday is coming, and in previous years she would send someone early Sending all kinds of things, there is no movement this year, I want to see if she still remembers."

Lan Qi didn't answer, she was not qualified to speak about the things the queen mother said, no matter what, the fifth elder brother was always born to Concubine Yi, and in terms of human relations, there was no reason to separate mother and child.Although there is a reason for everything in the palace, if she has conflicts in her heart, it's better not to talk too much.

After leaving the Ningshou Palace, the sixth prince was left behind by the Queen Mother, and Lan Qi went to the Compassion Ning Palace to serve the Empress Dowager. The snow was clear and the sun was warm, so she talked to Huanchun Walk slowly to the Compassion Palace.Because the snow on the road where I often walk has not been cleared, it is not troublesome to go around in another direction, but I saw a lot of people kneeling in front of me as I walked, and I recognized it when I got close. Wanliu Hashi, who lived with Concubine Rong in the Yang Palace.

Kneeling here three or four often agreed, and the following maids were not spared, although the snow here has been cleared, but the ground is so cold, kneeling here in winter is really going to cause trouble.Lan Qi asked them what was going on, and someone said that the sisters were laughing on the road just now, they didn't know that Concubine Wen came from behind, they were shocked, and were punished by the concubine to kneel here.

Lan Qi couldn't help frowning, and saw that the place where they were kneeling was gradually getting less sunlight, so she made the decision: "Get up, the imperial concubine has been away from Ningshou Palace for more than half an hour, and your faces are frozen. If you continue like this I'm going to be sick. Go back, I will explain to the imperial concubine if there is anything."

The few people didn't quite dare, and hesitated to figure out the seriousness of it. Lan Qi and Wan Liuhashi were familiar with each other, so they scolded her coldly: "If you all fell ill, wouldn't you make the imperial concubine take the responsibility and not keep the first step?" It’s wrong to play around in the palace road, and you still have to make mistakes? Wanchang is there, how did Concubine Rong teach you, don’t you have to wait for others to criticize Concubine Rong?”

Wan Liuha immediately got up tremblingly, the sisters supported each other, while thanking Concubine De and dared not look at Concubine De, Lan Qi asked them all to go back and ordered the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine to dispel the cold, and then walked away.After that, she was not very happy all the way, Huan Chun advised her: "The imperial concubine is angry for a while, maybe she will forget it after passing by, and she will not come to embarrass you, master, don't worry about it."

But Lan Qi sighed: "I don't care that she came to trouble me. It's fine if she really troubles me. I also have something to say to her. Please explain it clearly and don't be intimidated. I'm afraid that she will vent her anger on you in the future." On other people's heads, these promises are always tormented. Don't you remember how we were tossed by the imperial concubine? In the past, even Mrs. An dared to bully us. Now look at these young people, they are very innocent. She has resentment, Make these people full of resentment, how can life in this palace be better?"

Having said that, when she came to the Empress Dowager, Lan Qi didn't mention it. She didn't mention it until she took a lunch break after serving the old man, and she was basking in the sun and chopping embroidery threads with Aunt Su Mala. She sighed straight away: "A good person, why can't she think about it again? The emperor hates such things the most. If the Qianqing Palace knew, what would she expect?"

Lan Qi said: "Your majesty, when the noble concubine gave birth to the tenth elder brother, she was indeed ill and couldn't take care of her, but in the days after that, she was somewhat too negligent. But I can't remind you often, because I am not that magnanimous. Besides, talking too much is hypocrisy, yesterday I asked the emperor why he didn't go to Chengqian Palace, and he laughed at him."

The nanny looked at Lan Qi, the delicate and fair skin on her face was glowing, as if she had been tanned by the sun with a faint golden light, the clothes on her body were no longer as simple as they used to be when the nobles were often around, and they had the same clothes as a concubine. Grand and dignified; the makeup on her face is not that clear and light, her slender eyebrows are curved, and her red lips are like cherry blossoms, all of which are charming and charming at her age.But only those eyes are still as clear as before. When she occasionally smiles, it seems that she can still see the cute and naive state of many years ago. Mammy will always remember the appearance of her leaning over to wash her feet. She seemed to be a granddaughter, not some noble imperial concubine.

"What is Mammy looking at?" Lan Qi saw Mammy Su Mala looking at her in a daze, and asked what was wrong with a smile, and Mammy said, "I think our mother is getting more and more beautiful."

Lan Qi was shy, but smiled joyfully: "At first, I thought, I don't have the beauty of a country and a city, and I will be old in the future, but now I look at the little princess, and I don't worry about it. She will grow up beautifully. In the future, seeing her slim and graceful, I will not be afraid of the passage of time, life is passed on like this."
