Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"The emperor has his own way of teaching children. Although the teacher I recommend is talented, he may not be suitable for the elder brother. The emperor knows the truth of this." Mingzhu smiled calmly, "How can you say it, the emperor Don't care about Big Brother's homework?"

A Ling'a smiled and said nothing, seeing that Suo'etu got rid of the compliments and entanglements of several colleagues and left angrily, Mingzhu and the others also walked behind, neither of them spoke, but a few people around him muttered, saying Considering the current situation in the harem, the reason why the emperor only gave the little Hesheli family the title of nobleman seems to be to firmly hold the status of the imperial concubine. Now that Concubine Wen is also living in seclusion, it seems that no one can shake the Tong family anymore .

Another person said that the imperial concubine is raising the fourth elder brother under her knees, and her birth mother, Concubine De, is the favorite of the two palaces. Looking at the current posture, the dignity of the imperial concubine is unshakable, while the concubine De is unfailingly favored. The imperial concubine is honored so that the imperial concubine is honored and the concubine de is favored. The two joined forces to hold the emperor and the harem firmly in their hands.

Mingzhu and A Ling'a looked at each other, and now their families are equal, no one is better than the other, probably Suo'etu and the others still have a prince who is better than them, but Concubine Hui and Concubine Wen are gradually getting closer The harem lost power, seeing Tong Guowei's arrogance becoming more and more arrogant, and the innocent concubine Wu Yashi, who had a good life and a smooth sailing life, unknowingly, she has become glorious and radiant.

"Mingxiang, let me take my leave first." A Ling'a smiled meaningfully, and left in a hurry. Mingzhu was about to leave when he saw Gao Shiqi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, talking to the eunuch of the inner court. He waited for a while, and when Gao Shiqi came over Seeing Mingzhu, she bowed respectfully, Mingzhu smiled and asked if she would give another lecture.

Gao Shiqi didn't hide anything, and answered bluntly: "Long Live Lord appointed the next official to find a few collections of essays for the Concubine De, and the next official searched for a few days, but there was nothing suitable. It has been delayed for a few days. As an errand, please send a message to the father-in-law to go in and complain, and then we have to look for it again."

Mingzhu frowned slightly, and asked: "Isn't Concubine De still studying?"

Gao Shiqi said: "Your Majesty has been eager to learn for a long time. During the southern tour in the old year, the subordinate officials were ordered to present a book recording ancient legends for your empress to read. It is said that it is for the fourth and sixth elder brothers to tell stories."

Mingzhu has always heard that Concubine De loves to read and write. In the early years, she thought it was just a boudoir trick to coax the emperor to like her. Who knew that she had been reading for so many years. She looked at a quiet and gentle person, and she didn't have a bookish look. The way the emperor talked and behaved when he traveled was indeed a person with ink in his belly. Thinking that she was born as a court lady with such cultivation, it is no wonder that she has been favored for more than ten years.

"My lord, I still have important matters to attend to, so I have to go first." Gao Shiqi saluted politely and left in a hurry.

Mingzhu came back all the way full of worries, and when he entered the door, he heard the good news that the young mistress was happy, and the succession of children and grandchildren is a good thing, and he was also happy for his daughter-in-law, but when he heard his family ask him if he saw his son, he knew where Rong Ruo had gone , I didn't go home yesterday, and I didn't go home today.

Mrs. Mingzhu congratulated her husband for having a grandson again. Today's daughter-in-law is much healthier than Lu's back then, which is a good sign for the prosperity of the family. She happily prepared to go to her natal family to announce the good news, but the daughter-in-law said: "There is no need to go to announce the good news. , my elder brother just got a son, and I haven't had time to congratulate him, and I want to go back to my mother's house with Rong Ruo, but he's not at home these two days, so I can't talk."

When Rong Ruo was mentioned, Mingzhu got angry, and left his wife and daughter-in-law to go to the study alone. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very embarrassed. The young lady quickly confessed to her mother-in-law, saying that she said something that should not be said, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very harmonious. Mrs. Mingzhu He also persuaded her: "It has nothing to do with you, they are two stubborn cows, it's useless if you break your heart."

She also thought that it was rare for the daughter-in-law to open her mouth and wanted to go back to her natal home, so she sent someone to find out where her son was. Naturally, the first place was to go to Shen Wan's private house, but the person who went there said that the uncle was not there, and the young lady was not there. In words, Mrs. Mingzhu said bitterly: "It must be there, that little bitch is hiding again so that you won't see it."

The young lady was sad in her heart, but she advised her mother-in-law sensibly: "Er Niang, don't be angry, maybe she really isn't here, and he will come back in a few days."

Sure enough, the young lady's generosity was rewarded, and the servants finally found their uncle in Nanyuan, a suburb of Beijing. Rong Ruo went there on business, but he didn't tell his family, Mingzhu didn't pay attention, Rong Ruo sent someone to take him On the other hand, after finishing the errands in a few days, I will accompany her back to her mother's house.

This satisfied the young lady, she thought of Shen Wan's situation in the private house from time to time, and knew in her heart that as long as she secured her position as the young lady of the Nalan Mansion, even a few more Zhang Wan and Li Wan would not be able to take away her husband.

A few days later, Mrs. Mingzhu entered the palace to announce the good news to Concubine Hui, and just met Suo Etu who also invited an order to enter the palace to meet Nobleman Ping. It is said that the nobleman's status is low, and he can't see his family as often as Concubine Hui and the others, but after all, Nobleman Ping came from different backgrounds Suo'etu's status is different, people inside and outside the palace all show their favor.

When Suo'etu came from Chuxiu Palace, Tong Pin was not at home, Ping Gui welcomed her uncle, and when she walked in front of the main hall, she sighed dissatisfied: "Even though Uncle, you comfort me in every possible way, I still feel extremely uncomfortable. Well, why are they also younger sisters, one is a noble concubine, and the other is also a concubine, so I am just a nobleman? Those who came from lowly backgrounds in the palace thought they could sit on an equal footing with me, and that nobleman An was bossing me around the day before yesterday Woolen cloth."

Suo'etu only said softly: "Your Excellency, please be careful with your words and deeds."

Mr. Ping glanced at her, Xu knew since she was a child that she would succeed her elder sister in the palace, she was born with a proud and arrogant temper, full of momentum at a young age, and now she sneered even more: "Uncle, worry too much, Concubine Tong It's a boring gourd, you don't have to be afraid of shouting and killing in front of her."

Suo'etu remained silent, and followed his niece into the side hall to talk, talking about important rules and taboos in the palace, and even told her: "The imperial concubine has a bad temper, and don't make her unhappy if you offend anyone. The emperor has treated the emperor for so many years. The noble concubine is tolerant again and again, as if there is room for change in everything. It is different for others. The concubine Wen Guifei of Xianfu Palace is the best example. Now that noble people are entering the palace for the first time, they must be cautious and try to figure out the holy meaning. good."

"People in my family often say that the emperor has a deep affection for my sister. Although I have no impression of my sister, she is a sister after all. The emperor must have a high opinion of me. Uncle, you said that this noble person is the emperor's last resort. I believe it, but I am more I understand that I have to earn my own money before entering the palace." Ping Guiren's glamorous face that does not match her age is full of confidence, and she smiles arrogantly, "I thought De Concubine Rong Concubine could climb up from the palace maid. There are so many amazing people, it’s nothing more than a visit after entering the palace. Uncle, don’t worry, I’ve lived here not long ago. I saw it a few days ago. Yongshou Palace is a good place. You can see me when you come back next time, and go to the main hall over there. Sit down."

"My lady, please be careful about everything." Suo'etu was cautious, thinking that his niece was young and energetic, so she was naturally different from other concubines.Now the crown prince has no mother to support him, and all the concubines in the harem have princes under their knees. For him, the situation is not optimistic. Yuqing Palace has never been afraid of storms, but it is afraid of the pillow wind that cannot be heard or touched.

However, because Concubine Wen Guifei used drugs on the emperor, the empress dowager secretly ordered the emperor to ban the party for a while, just during the period when the newcomer entered the palace, the empress dowager had not let go, the emperor was not in a hurry for his own sake, and he had no affection for the newcomer After entering the palace, they have been left behind and never asked.Others are fine, Mrs. Ping must not be able to sit still, but after all she has been well-bred at home, and she will definitely not do rough and noisy things, but it is not difficult to think of other ways to attract the emperor's attention.

It's just that young people tend to think things too simply. Although Pinggui is not a few years older than the prince, she is a serious aunt after all. She thinks that no one will stop her from visiting the prince in Yuqing Palace, but she doesn't know the rules of Yuqing Palace , without the emperor's order or the prince's invitation, no one can enter or leave without authorization. The first time Mr. Ping hit a wall when he entered the palace, it was because of this matter.

This day, when Lan Qi came out of Qianqing Palace and passed in front of Yuqing Palace, she saw four or five people gathered in front of the gate. The concubine de concubine said: "Madam, can you talk to the nobleman, the servants really can't let nobleman Ping enter Yuqing Palace, but nobleman Ping won't believe it."

The rules of Yuqing Palace, the emperor would not tell the world ostentatiously, anyway, people in the world can't come to the Forbidden City, it can be regarded as the rules of hiding in the inner palace, but nobleman Ping was born in a noble family, so he shouldn't be ignorant of the way here, Lan Qi doesn't want to be troublesome, She also didn't want to deliberately teach little Hesheli as a concubine, nobleman Ping has a special status, and Aunt Su Mala told her early in the morning to stay far away.

Lan Qi wanted to shirk away, but nobleman Ke Ping saw the scene here, and seemed dissatisfied with those eunuchs asking Concubine De to suppress her, so she swayed over, flicked the handkerchief in her hand, and saluted in an inappropriate way , then smiled and said: "These slaves are really good, just talk to the concubine, and come to work for you for whatever you do."

Lan Qi was polite with a smile, just a few perfunctory greetings, and did not mention the matter of Yuqing Palace. Ping Guiren is also very knowledgeable, and she did not find it difficult to find pleasure in this matter, but she also asked very bluntly: "Your Majesty is from Qianqing Palace. ? I heard that the emperor is busy with government affairs these few days, and your empress should persuade the emperor to take care of the dragon body."

"This is natural." Lan Qi responded, and Ziyu was clever, saying that the master should go back to take the tonic, and there should be no delay. Reading, my concubine is not talented, I also like to write and draw at home, I wonder if I can sit down at Yonghe Palace and ask you for advice?"

Lan Qi knew in her heart that no matter why nobleman Ping wanted to visit the Yonghe Palace, it would not be some kind and friendly gesture.Although the Yonghe Palace should also have a way of hospitality, but she doesn't want to have any contact with peaceful nobles in private. She guesses that she has a difficult temper. If you are more polite, she will climb up the pole. Anyway, don't communicate, and simply said sternly : "I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to serve the Empress Dowager in the future. I have to take a rest when I go back. I can't talk with you. Next time, there is tea in the Yonghe Palace, and I invite you to sit down."

Lan Qi seldom claims to be my own palace in front of people, and she just popped up out of nowhere, and she didn't think too much about it, she took Ziyu and the others and left, and when she was far away, Ziyu murmured: "Your Majesty, this nobleman It seems that you don't understand dignity, but you are just paying respects, and there is no one in your eyes. It is too rude to see your eyes are squinted, how can a young lady of a noble family behave like this?"

"Don't gossip behind others." Lan Qi warned, but she thought in her heart that there have been countless foolish emperors in the past dynasties, and those so-called sons of destiny are still like this. It is not surprising that there are a few such young ladies in noble families.Think about the fact that Concubine Wen Gui was raised by her family since she was a child, and she didn't grow up the way her family envisioned. Isn't that the reason.

Mrs. Ping was treated coldly everywhere, and she was full of anger. When she returned to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Tong politely greeted her to drink tea, but her face was turned off. After finishing the pattern, Mr. Ping ran over unwilling to be lonely. Speaking of Mr. Jue Chan, he asked arrogantly: "I heard that the most beautiful person in the palace is Mr. Jue Chan? Sister, is it true that you can't go to Xianfu Palace? But why do you let the nobleman Juechan play tricks? I have been in the palace for several days, and I haven't seen the imperial concubine or that beautiful nobleman yet."

Concubine Tong didn't think much about it, and said that it was Concubine Wen Gui's confinement, the child was too expensive, and she was afraid that the people in the palace's birth date would bump into the child, so everyone was not allowed to visit.She thought that after saying this, Ping Guiren would not be curious anymore, who knew that as soon as she turned around, she ran to hang around the gate of Xianfu Palace, although she didn't enter the gate, but Xianfu Palace is now being watched by the superiors, and the Queen Mother will send someone in the evening Come to tell Concubine Tong to be optimistic about the people in her palace, saying that Concubine Wen's fetus is very important, and no one should run to disturb her.

The Empress Dowager put pressure on Tong Bin, Chengqian Palace felt ashamed because of her younger sister's carelessness, and the imperial concubine called Tong Bin to reprimand her, teaching her that she should have the majesty of a palace lord.

Concubine Tong was implicated inexplicably, felt very wronged, and couldn't help but said to her sister: "After all, she is Queen Hesheli's own sister, so I can't be too serious about her, and I live under the same roof again, so I'm so stiff what's the point?"

The imperial concubine repeatedly said that her sister was useless, and blamed her for her own dignity. What about Queen Hesheli's sister, who is not the queen herself. If she really valued it, why would the emperor only give her the status of a nobleman.Such a lesson, not to mention that the Empress Dowager would not let her go if anything happened in Chuxiu Palace. Concubine Tong reluctantly withdrew, so angry that she even went in the wrong direction to go home.

Angrily, Tong Pin went in the wrong direction, but happened to meet Concubine De who was going to the Palace of Compassion. Lan Qi saw that her face was full of displeasure, so she asked what was wrong. Tong Pin knew that Concubine De was kindhearted, and the two When she was walking with her, she unknowingly complained about her grievances, saying that she couldn't control Ping Guiren, and it would be great if she could let Ping Guiren move away, but she dared not speak to the imperial concubine.

Lan Qi was also helpless, and persuaded her: "Pinggui is staying in Chuxiu Palace, if he moves away without a decent reason, it will inevitably cause some gossip, sister, can you bear with it?"
