Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

When the guards approached, Nalan Rongruo was indeed the leader. Seeing that he was the nobleman of Jue Chan, everyone saluted one after another. Because there were so many people, she didn't need to feel embarrassed. If she was alone, she didn't know how to deal with herself.And Rong Ruo also asked her politely: "Why is the nobleman here?"

"Today, I accompanied the imperial concubine to watch a show all day, and I got a bit of a headache from the noise. Come here to blow the cold wind to sober up." Jue Chan responded calmly, and asked Rong Ruo, "Is there a rule that you can't enter the garden at night? Please forgive me for the trouble, and I will leave now."

But while talking, before Xianghe went to pick up the hand stove and returned, Jue Chan left alone, and someone among the guards said: "My lord, it's time for us to rush to the shift, so we can't miss the brother's business." Son, let's see if you will take the nobleman a few steps, we will go to hand over the shift first."

"No." Jue Chan blurted out, two simple words, but she expressed the calmness she had pretended to be in front of Rong Ruo until now, her heart was pounding, and Rong Ruo was also at a loss for embarrassment. She couldn't understand why, but fortunately she finally calmed down and said slowly, "You all go, my maid will be here soon..."

Before Jue Chan could finish speaking, he heard the sound of something falling into the water not far away. Several people looked at each other in dismay. The guards immediately woke up and ran towards the place where the sound came from. It didn't take long before word spread that a maid fell into the pond in.

Jue Chan came to see, and it turned out that Xianghe fell into the pond. There are many mountains and rocks here, and the water in the pond is winding. Which foot slipped down, fortunately there were people here, and the water in the pool was not deep, otherwise no one would know if she drowned in it.

The person was picked up quickly, Xianghe cried out in fright, Jue Chan told her not to cry and disturbed the other ladies, Xianghe covered her mouth and dared not make a sound, but was shivering from the cold, Rong Ruo advised them to go back quickly, while He asked the other guards to take over, and he didn't want to embarrass his cousin, so he brought two other guards and sent them back as master and servant.

This is a good arrangement, but no one would have imagined that the emperor and Concubine De would come back after wandering outside, Concubine De and Concubine Juechan lived in two places in the garden, and this walk would bump into Concubine De and his party Looking straight ahead, seeing the brightly lit emperor approaching, there is really nowhere to avoid this side. When she got closer, Lan Qi saw Jue Chan's master and servant and Nalan Rongruo and a few guards, her heart tightened and she felt timid. Then he glanced sideways at the emperor, Xuan Ye calmed down, at most curious about what was going on in front of him.

Nalan Rongruo explained everything, Jue Chan was a person who hardly spoke in front of Sheng Jia, Lan Qi saw the embarrassment on both sides, so she could only try to smooth things over: "My lord, hurry up and take Xianghe to clean up. Be careful that you get sick from the cold, she will take care of you for the rest of the journey." Then he asked Xuan Ye, "Let's go, Your Majesty, if we don't go, the nobleman Jue Chan will not dare to go."

Xuan Ye nodded silently, did not tell Nalan Rongruo anything, and followed Lan Qi to her room, where Nalan Rongruo, Jue Chan and other sages and accompanying people all left before leaving, but Before Rong Ruo started to take a step, Jue Chan said, "My lord, please stop, we can go by ourselves."

Rong Ruo was stunned for a moment, and finally replied helplessly: "Yes." He knew that the emperor might think or get angry about what happened tonight. It's better not to meet each other for the rest of my life, the emperor had warned him long ago not to talk about each other, but tonight it happened like this, and the emperor bumped into him, if he wanted to pursue it, he couldn't argue with it.

And Xuan Ye was so calm in front of people, he was not very happy in his heart, and when he came back, he seemed depressed and sat silent.Originally, the two of them were very comfortable outside all day, although they always scolded Lan Qi for being petty, but she was calm and generous in big scenes, and she had ink in her stomach so that she would not be troubled by those sour and narrow-sighted literati. Xuanye was very proud to see the Concubine De concubine shining brightly.Who knew that when he came back at night, he would encounter such a shocking thing.

Lan Qi knew that the emperor was unhappy, so she ignored him, and asked Huanchun and the others to prepare fragrant soup for bathing. Although going to Tiger Hill today was not strenuous, after all, the muscles and bones were sweating after a day of exercise. After the other side was finished, he came to undress the emperor himself, and when he took off all the clothes, Xuan Ye stretched out his hand and scratched her cheek and said, "Don't be ashamed."

Lan Qi smiled coquettishly: "My husband, why are you ashamed?" I was out today and heard Wu Nong softly calling her husband a husband. Suzhou women are really charming and lovely. Just the soft voice like water makes people's bones crisp up.

Lan Qi thought that if the emperor was really bewitched by the beauty, it wouldn't be too strange. Naturally, she absolutely didn't want to see the emperor being fascinated by the women in that place. Now a large group of concubines and children are following him. If such a thing happened, who would be ashamed? It doesn't look good on the outside, and when you go back to the palace, those in the palace should say that the accompanying people are useless, they can't control the emperor, and if the imperial concubine gets angry about it, it's another matter.

When Xuan Ye soaked his tired body in the hot soup, his limbs and bones were slowly stretched in the warm fluctuations, his mood was calmer, and he himself wondered why he was unhappy. Touching the skin with his hands, Xuan Ye was so cold that he was so cold that he turned around and scolded Lan Qi: "Bastard, did you use your hands to soak in cold water on purpose?"

Lan Qi shook her head innocently, Xuan Ye said angrily: "You just teased in the hot water just now, how could your hands be cold?" Seeing it made people's hearts itch, Xuan Ye said, "Do you want to come into the water too?" Only then did he calm down, Lan Qi quickly coaxed him, "I see that the emperor is always in a daze and thinking about his thoughts, I want you to refresh yourself."

"Nonsense, rub it well." Xuan Ye ignored her, turned around and sat down, and felt the familiar strength of familiar hands kneading on his shoulders. His mind gradually calmed down. For some reason, he asked Lan Qi slowly, "Are you Know what?"

"You know what?" Lan Qi asked back, the room was silent for a while, only the sound of water in the bathtub could be heard occasionally, Lan Qi knew that this sentence might displease the emperor, so how could he let him say that in person? After a moment of silence, he said, "The concubine has been in this palace for a long time, and often in a well-informed place like the Compassionate Peace Palace, the concubine knows a lot of things that the emperor doesn't want the concubine to know. "

"En." Xuan Ye said softly, and thoughtfully pointed to the place on the shoulder, asking Lan Qi to change the place.

"Is the emperor really unhappy?" Lan Qi kneaded gently, she knew what kind of strength Xuan Ye liked most, she could feel his body gradually relaxing, and she was sure that what happened tonight did not let the emperor How furious and angry.

"I don't really understand." Xuan Ye sighed, being served by Lan Qi was very comfortable and comfortable, and he thought things more rationally when he was calm, "I don't hope that one day, someone will make a big fuss about it, it's just like a hidden danger. Probably because I'm not happy about it."

"Does the emperor like her?" Lan Qi asked without thinking, Xuan Ye replied without thinking, "I don't like her, but it's just a beautiful vessel, and it's enough to look at it."

"But even if it is a vessel, it still belongs to the emperor." Lan Qi smiled, "If the emperor is not happy, it is perfectly normal."

"is it?"

"The concubine knows it, and I don't know if it's what the emperor thinks." Lan Qi avoided the sensitive topic, and said gently, "If there was a different person in what happened tonight, the emperor might not even look up. Whether you care about it or not, at least the noble Jue Chan in the eyes of my concubines is an upright and clean vessel."

"En." Xuan Ye still only spoke out, Lan Qi's heart relaxed, and she stopped talking. After a while, Xuan Ye asked her: "Stop talking?"

Lan Qi replied: "I'm afraid you will be annoyed if you talk too much."

"Pretentious." Xuan Ye stretched out his hand and pinched Lan Qi's hand, letting her come around to him, opened his eyes to look at her soft and peaceful face, and finally smiled, "Imperial grandmother has taught you these comforting words all these years." Human ability?"

Lan Qi smiled triumphantly: "That's the innate wisdom of my concubine, how can I teach it?" But Xuan Ye immediately splashed water on her face, blinded by her eyes, she instinctively scooped up a handful of water and poured it into the water. The emperor greeted on his face, and was startled awake by himself when the water splashed out. Xuan Ye coughed a few times to wipe off the water on his face and stared at her. A person was dragged into the water in a few strokes.

"Emperor, Your Majesty... in someone else's house, we are in his house." Lan Qi was in a hurry, but her clothes were removed after a few strokes, and she whispered, "If you don't obey, I can go outside La."

But this tossing was just for fun, the two of them didn't have sex, both of them were tired from the journey, and they wanted to rest well in Suzhou, Xuan Ye knew his limits, not to mention going to ask for flowers, even with Lan Qi. It will not turn the clouds upside down, the intention of this southern tour is not to have fun, he knows everything in his heart.

At night, Lan Qi just sat at the end of the bed and massaged Xuan Ye's legs and feet. The two talked about what they had seen and heard today, without mentioning anything about Nalan Rongruo and Jue Chan, and then they slept together on the same pillow and had a peaceful night together.

On the contrary, Lan Qi was a little embarrassed when she met the imperial concubine and the others the next day, and Concubine Rong even said to her in private: "You are so courageous, if she is not happy to trouble you, she will make a lot of trouble when she is away from home." Ugly?"

Fortunately, the imperial concubine also knew that she was away from home, so she would not really cause trouble for Lan Qi, and the emperor had never neglected her, but as long as the imperial concubine was willing, the seat next to the emperor was still hers.

Instead, she rested in the afternoon and waited for the time when she would go out with the emperor in the evening. Lan Qi stayed by the bed and coaxed a pair of children to take a nap. Seeing the two brothers sleeping soundly, she didn't feel tired of watching for hours. Huan Chun came in and said softly, "Master, the nobleman Jue Chan is seeking to see you outside."
