Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xuan Ye smiled and said, "You've thought a lot, and you've taken all of this into account in a few words?"

Lan Qi was suddenly alerted to the suspicion of interfering in government affairs, and immediately waved her hand and said: "The emperor will send the concubine back, the concubine should not be involved in this matter."

Xuan Ye casually took the silver hairpin on the table and put it on her hairpin, and said nonchalantly: "Since it is a private visit in a micro-clothes, there is no heavenly harem. You are my wife, and I am your husband-in-law, that's all."

One sentence about Mrs. and Mrs. made Lan Qi blush, Xuan Ye laughed at her: "After so many years, you still blush? I remember who said a few days ago that my Mrs. is not ashamed."

Lan Qi ignored him, turned around to pack her things and was ready to go. What she blushed was not the words "Ms. Xianggong", but the blurred differences between wives and concubines. This was an idea she wouldn't tell anyone. Just keep it in your heart forever.

Before setting off, Lan Qi thought of something and asked Xuan Ye: "Has the Emperor seen Mr. Yu?"

Xuan Ye smiled: "He is the prefect of Jiangning, we have been here for a few days, how could we not see him?"

"What kind of private visit is the emperor?" Lan Qi tsk-tsk, "The emperor might as well listen to his concubine and come back after a few days."

"But he hasn't seen you before." Xuan Ye smiled smugly, and leaned in front of Lan Qi and said, "I'm waiting for you at the restaurant across the street from the yamen, you go and see how the case is settled over there, come back one by one Ten tell me, what do you say, I will think of Jackie Chan, his future and official career are all in your hands, Empress Defei."

Lan Qi's eyes widened, regretting in her heart, no wonder she was so kind to take her out to play, go to the night market and stay outside, she just wanted to do something good to make Xuan Ye so happy to reward herself, so it was all waiting here with.

"The concubine won't go. How about being abducted alone among the common people?" Lan Qi turned around and sat down. Xuan Ye didn't expect that the imperial grandmother actually told Lan Qi before going out, saying The emperor must go everywhere to pay private visits, and told her not to follow behind blindly. If a woman's family encounters a bad person, she will suffer the most, and she will not be able to tell in the future.

Xuan Ye asked curiously: "Emperor Grandmother even told you this?"

Lan Qi nodded, Xuan Ye didn't believe it, and scolded her, "You dare to lie even to scare Suzhou weaving, how can I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, the courtiers and concubines don't go. It's the same as picking a face-to-face guard by your side. It might be better than the courtiers and concubines when you come back." Lan Qi relied on the empress dowager to tell her, but she refused to let go. Anyway, the emperor wouldn't kill her, at most he would ignore her for a few days after falling out, she was really not afraid.

But she could feel Xuanye's temper clearly, and the emperor could see through her mind even more. When eating soft or hard things, Xuanye pinched a few fingers, and sat beside her and hugged her and said nicely: "It's so easy to pick a few guards. If it works, I still worry about laboring for you? Don't I just use you because I think they are unreliable? Above the court, most of the officials are guarding each other. I don't know what is behind the guards I choose People, or did these people behind him collude with Yu Chenglong? Only you, I am most at ease, you will be protected within three steps, whoever dares to hurt you, I will chop off his head. "

People say that you don't want to hit a smiling person with your hands. Lan Qi really didn't know how to refute the emperor's words to her so well. Xuan Ye promised her to come back and reward her with a few hundred taels of silver, so that she could buy things for the palaces and clans when she returned to Beijing. The royal family brought gifts, Lan Qi originally counted the expense and said that hundreds of taels of silver were in vain, and she was really moved when she heard that the emperor would pay for it.

When she was moved, she was even more moved. When she came to her senses, everyone was brought out. The carriage came all the way to the Jiangning magistrate's yamen. Xuan Ye told her in the car: "Just hang out with the crowd and take a look. Today this case was brought up by the county government. I have already sent someone to investigate and find out what it is. I won’t tell you for fear of disturbing your judgment, and you don’t have to decide whether the case is true or false. Just tell me what you think Yu Chenglong can do errands without paying attention."

Originally, the emperor didn't say anything, Lan Qi was quite clear-headed, but when the emperor babbled like this, she became a little confused. You must know that Kangxi entered the palace for 12 years and became a court lady, and she has long since lost her ability to survive in the world outside the Forbidden City. The ability, how do you know what is promoted to adjudicate cases, and I thought in my heart that it is impossible for the emperor to really put the future of a minister in her hands, no matter what the result is, just bite the bullet and go there.

Over there, the emperor took Defei's micro-clothes for a private visit, but several adults who were kept in the dark in Zhizao Mansion had something to see the emperor. Nalan Rongruo, who was guarding outside, stopped him when he came, saying that the emperor was resting in order to return to Beijing. , never see anyone.Several other ministers saw that he was the son of Mingzhu's family, and asked him to go in and have a word with the emperor, but Rong Ruo refused coldly.

As a result, Mingzhu couldn't hold back his face, and after the other colleagues walked away, he angrily scolded his son: "What are you that makes me lose face like this?"

But Nalan Rongruo said solemnly: "My son is on a mission for the emperor, please forgive me for not being able to fulfill both loyalty and filial piety."

"Bullshit!" Mingzhu scolded, looked inside again to see what was going on, and sneered, "Long Live Lord is out again, right?"

Rong Ruo said nothing, Ming Zhu said: "Do you think I'm still waiting for you to tell me? If you are self-righteous, you should do your job in front of the emperor. If there is anything wrong, I will definitely end you, a rebellious son."

Rong Ruo didn't take it seriously, anyway, the meeting between father and son was just a few words, he had been numb to hearing it all these years, and after his father left, he even gave orders: "No matter who it is, you are not allowed to accommodate, the emperor is resting, No one is allowed to disturb."

After Mingzhu left, she happened to meet A Ling and a few people who were driving her, and they greeted each other politely. When talking about the emperor's rest, everyone tacitly understood it, only one other person heard the news from somewhere, Said that the concubine de concubine seemed to be recuperating, everyone looked at each other, and some words were clear in their hearts, but when they parted, they heard Ah Ling'a say: "Yesterday, the emperor took his own bow and used it for the fourth elder brother in person, and taught him hand in hand. He is really a father." A loving son is filial, the same is true for the prince."

In a word, everyone seems to have heard it on the surface, and they all understand in their hearts that the second son born to the concubine De has a very different weight in the emperor's heart than other elder brothers, and the fourth elder brother is raised under the imperial concubine's knee One step away, Si Age's future is limitless.

However, the future of the fourth elder brother is still too early to say, and the future of Mr. Yu Jackie Chan is in jeopardy.At this moment, Xuanye is sitting in the restaurant across the street from the magistrate's yamen, listening to the little girl downstairs singing comfortably, thinking that if Lan Qi is by his side, if he looks at the little girl more often, his jealousy will be turned upside down I was secretly thinking it was funny, but saw the guards who followed Lan Qi hurried back and said in a hurry: "Long Live Lord, Your Majesty has been arrested by Master Yu."

"Arrested?" Xuan Ye was startled, and he didn't know what happened until he came all the way to the magistrate's yamen.

Today's case is a bit special. I am used to the local tyrants and gentry oppressing poor tenants. This time it is the other way around. There are vicious and cunning people relying on their parents' innocence to defend the people and bite the landlord. Xuanye has sent someone to investigate in advance. He just wanted to see if Yu Chenglong would really turn black and white for the sake of the so-called integrity. He wanted Lan Qi to open his eyes and find a reliable person to judge the case. How could he think that she would be so impulsive.

Because there was a woman who was pregnant in October in the tenant family, she was startled and weak in the hall, it is said that Yu Chenglong was interrogating according to the court rules, but somehow the Empress Defei couldn't stand it anymore, and even came forward to accuse the hall official of disregarding human life Seeing that the pregnant woman is about to give birth, Xuan Ye is angry and funny when he hears it, he can only blame himself for looking for trouble, why did he bring Lan Qi to join in the fun.

When Mr. Yu picked him up and heard the emperor in casual clothes ask him if he wanted someone, the smart man suddenly remembered the natural nobleness of the little lady just now, and he panicked and asked the emperor who was in the palace. , the emperor smiled politely: "Zhen and Concubine De came out for a walk, happened to pass by you, and bothered you with the case."

Yu Chenglong was so frightened that his head was sweating, he hurriedly sent people to release him, and he was afraid that the servants below would be clumsy, so he didn't care to leave the emperor here, so he went to welcome the concubine De concubine out in person, Lan Qi was so frightened that her face turned pale, Coming all the way with a sullen face, seeing Xuan Ye sitting in the hall, immediately ran towards him with blushing eyes.

But Xuan Ye gave her a wink, telling her to calm down, Lan Qi quickly restrained her emotions, quietly followed the emperor, and hid behind the hall together to watch Yu Jackie Chan's trial.Lan Qi couldn't help trembling in fright, and Xuan Ye told her softly what was going on in the case, and said earnestly: "The weak may not always be on the side of justice, and justice must not be judged by eyes alone. The law, human feelings are human feelings, this woman is really going to give birth, the yamen will not care about human life. Of course, what I am talking about is only in front of me, and there are government yamen all over the country who disregard the law, and I can't control them."

After leaving the hall, the emperor talked with Mr. Yu, and the female relatives came to take care of her and rest elsewhere. Lan Qi kept silent, and no one else dared to disturb the empress. She only waited for the emperor to go back when the emperor was gone. .

After getting into the carriage, the curtain was lowered, and Xuan Ye hugged the frightened man in his arms. He had a very happy conversation with Yu Chenglong today, and he was in a very good mood, so he felt even more distressed about tormenting Lan Qi for being so frightened. The person in her arms relaxed for a long time, and asked her if she was frightened, but Lan Qi said: "You must think that the concubine is stupid and stupid, and the concubine is not convinced now, it is the truth. It is really embarrassing to think about it." , and stayed there for a few hours, the concubine really wanted to get into the cracks in the ground."

"Today, I thought you would go back directly after you came back. I didn't intend to meet Jackie Chan. Now everything is different from what I planned. The other ministers will know about it more or less. It's shameful enough." Having said that, Xuan Ye's face was full of smiles, and he gently rubbed Lan Qi's stiff cheeks and said, "Yu Chenglong is an official of the fourth rank, how many first-rank officials who have gone south this time, standing among them, he has no chance to be more with me." You can’t speak your mind when you speak. Today, I listened to him talk about Jiangning’s customs, customs, culture and economy, but he received more goods than what I personally saw and heard these days. Thinking about it this way, isn’t it your credit?”

After all, Lan Qi was not very happy, and muttered: "I don't want such credit, it's embarrassing to think about it now." She also begged Xuan Ye not to go back and tell the Empress Dowager, of course Xuan Ye refused, and then talked and laughed Although I was shocked, I couldn't be at ease for a while. After returning home, Huanchun and the others saw that her face was not good, and asked what was going on. Lan Qi only told Huanchun in private, but Huanchun also burst into laughter, which made her angry. half dead.

On that day, the emperor decreed that he had heard in Beijing that Yu Chenglong, the magistrate of Jiangning, was a clean official. Jingyang, and asked him to start and end well, not to change his conduct.

Afterwards, Shengjia was about to leave for Beijing. On the way back to Beijing, the emperor also inspected flooded river works along the way. The court memorial was delivered every three days, and there was no day off.As for Concubine De's jokes at the prefect's yamen in Jiangning, although there were rumors among the courtiers, due to her concubine's innocence, she didn't dare to speak nonsense, Lan Qi herself didn't mention it to her sisters, and the matter faded away all the way back to Beijing .

Shengjia planned to arrive in Beijing at the end of the month. A few days later, news came from the front. Concubine Wen, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Yi talked with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager told them: "The emperor's journey Tired, it's time to take a good rest when you come back, don't make it too extravagant and superficial, just let the emperor go home with peace of mind."

Everyone didn't dare to disobey, and after agreeing on everything, they saluted and left, and dispersed in front of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Seeing Concubine Wen walking away, Concubine Hui said softly: "I thought we were going to mention next year's draft, it's already November There is still no movement, so don’t you choose next year?”

Concubine Yi said: "Sister, have you seen Concubine Wen Gui? It's been a few days since I've seen her brilliance. In the early years, I followed Concubine Zhao at that time. The two sisters are better than Concubine Wen Guifei in terms of beauty. No wonder my sister even gave birth to a son. "

As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Hui again, seeing her tired expression and blue eyes under her eyes, he cared: "Sister should also take care of herself, why is she getting more and more haggard these days?"

Concubine Hui did not say a few perfunctory words, and only waited for Mrs. Mingzhu to enter the palace two days later before talking to her about the news from Jiang Ning. She covered the door of her heart and said, "Fortunately, third elder brother is fine, otherwise Concubine Rong and I are all right." Years of friendship, even if it's over."

Mrs. Mingzhu said: "This is one of them. Then there is news from the master that the emperor took good care of the concubine De and the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother during this trip. He took the concubine De out for private visits. The imperial concubine empress He was already lazily walking around, openly and secretly, and Concubine De was always by his side."

"The emperor has always liked her." Concubine Hui said coldly, "The people who follow the imperial concubine don't care about it. I spend my time thinking about something, and it's annoying."

Mrs. Mingzhu said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the superior is partial or not, it's our elder brother's future future."
