Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Rong Ruo knew that when his cousin had an accident in the palace, he was in the private house with Shen Wan, and his cronies sent the news, not for nobleman Jue Chan, they didn't know that there was an old relationship between the two of them, it was just because of something like this happened among the guards, I feel the need to tell Rong Ruo.

When Rong Ruo heard that it was related to her cousin, she ran out without even thinking about it. At that time, Shen Wan sat on the kang with the child in her arms and watched him rush out like the wind. Every word she said to Jue Chan in the Mulan paddock turned into a slap and slap on her face heavily.

Right now when Rong Ruo entered the palace, he happened to see Empress Concubine De in Qianqing Palace. When Lan Qi saw him, she shook her head slightly, as if she felt that he shouldn't come. After treating each other with courtesy, she passed by. Concubine De concubine went to rest for a while, and sat like that for more than half an hour.

When she was so bored that she was about to take a nap, Xuan Ye's familiar footsteps woke her up, but when the emperor strode in, he just gave her an annoyed look, then stood still and opened his hands, Lan Qi was stunned and quickly came up to wait for him to change clothes, and put on his regular shirt, and he sat down lazily and waited for his boots to be changed, but when he really saw Lan Qi squatting down to take off his shoes, she reluctantly pulled her into the While saying: "The little eunuch knows how to do these things, who wants you to be so attentive."

Lan Qi didn't insist and didn't talk back. When Xuan Ye changed into light clothes, it was already time to set the meal. Eunuch Li led the people in the imperial dining room to spread out one by one. Xuan Ye got impatient after watching for a long time, and pointed at Lan Qi. Qi said: "Choose a few and put them on the kang table inside to eat."

Lan Qi knew how much his mood was affected, so she followed him in everything, picked up some of his favorite food and brought them in, stood aside and handed the bowl with chopsticks to prepare to serve the meal, but Xuan Ye pointed to the opposite side and said: "Sit down. Let's eat together next time, aren't you hungry?"

"The emperor has a fierce face, whoever can eat, is scared enough." Lan Qi muttered, and was pushed lightly by Xuan Ye, "Sit down honestly, I can't blame you for making these things happen. gone?"

The two sat opposite each other, Lan Qi hung her head and did not speak, she only saw Xuan Ye's chopsticks moving among the dishes from time to time, she thought that he had a good appetite, and she was not really angry with herself, it seemed that Nalan Rongruo didn't upset the emperor Well, maybe people are in a hurry to enter the palace, not because of Jue Chan's affairs, but I have wronged them.

But she just thought so, Xuan Ye said: "The guard is dead." Lan Qi was startled suddenly, she stared at the emperor with wide eyes, Xuan Ye glanced at her, "Why, keep him talking nonsense? "

The emperor's ruthlessness between life and death also reminded Lan Qi that the Tian family should not be offended. Even though Xuan Ye loves her, he is still the emperor.

Xuan Ye said again: "You taught her the words of the imperial concubine? It's very good. Who can prove Jue Chan's innocence and ask you to come forward? You just think that I can listen to what you say, so you rush to tell yourself Take care, Wuya Lanqi, aren't you being too self-righteous?"

These words are very unpleasant. Every time Lan Qi is called by Xuan Ye's first name and last name, it is rarely a sweet talk, but most of them get angry and scold her like this. Anyway, I am used to it, so I calm down and tell him things slowly. The whole story, she didn’t say something that shouldn’t be mentioned. Regarding the ideas of the imperial concubine, Lan Qi said: “The empress only told the concubine to do this. Specifically, it was the empress’s own idea, or the idea of ​​the concubine Wen Gui. I no longer know."

Lan Qi didn't intentionally involve Concubine Wen Gui. Lan Qi didn't know what the two of them had said in private, and the imperial concubine asked her to come forward to prove Jue Chan's words, and she didn't say whose idea it was. Lan Qi dared not speculate casually Let the emperor judge whoever is scheming.

"It's really not you?" Xuan Ye obviously didn't believe it.

Lan Qi nodded solemnly and said: "You said that the guards are dead, what is the concubine doing without telling you? This matter has nothing to do with the concubine, but since someone is using the concubine as a cover, the imperial concubine said it would be wrong. The most important thing is to keep things quiet and not to make more jokes, and not to embarrass you in front of the ministers."

The chopsticks in Xuan Ye's hand stopped, and he took a sip of the wine. There was no important festival, and he was usually not greedy for a drink. One sip of wine was enough, but after tasting today, he drank it all in one gulp. Lan Qi looked at the empty Just being by his side for so many years, I knew that the emperor was not happy.

"You promised the imperial concubine to come forward, just for her to calm things down?" Xuan Ye said in a serious tone.

"The concubine still feels that the noble Jue Chan is pitiful." Lan Qi wanted to evade and say something insincere, but she would only become more and more embarrassed under Xuan Ye's interrogation, so she told him calmly , "Don't say that the empress asks the concubine to help the concubine if she is willing, even if they give up the nobleman Jue Chan, the concubine still intends to save her life in front of you or the empress dowager."

"So righteous?" Xuan Ye frowned.

"It's not out of righteousness, let alone a concubine's self-righteousness, just because it is a human life." Lan Qi replied firmly, looking at Xuan Ye without fear, "Your Majesty, a concubine cannot live alone in the harem. It is almost impossible to be alone in the harem. You understand this better than your concubine. Whether it is to obey the arrangement of the imperial concubine or empress, or to stand out for Jue Chan, it is all because of this principle."

Xuan Ye looked at her quietly, without any sense of strangeness in his eyes, but said with emotion: "You have developed a mind, I noticed it early in the morning, and I also like your intelligence and wisdom, but I suddenly discovered that the imperial concubine also has scheming, Very surprised."

Lan Qi thought to herself that the imperial concubine's scheming was already there when she was young. She once wanted to win her to be her companion, and she even threatened Bu Guiren to attack her, not to mention torture herself. Whether it's her restraining her radiance and pretending to be stupid in Chengqian Palace, or being influenced by Yinzhen to have a more loving mother's mood in her body, the imperial concubine has never been stupid. It's the emperor himself who underestimates this cousin.

"Perhaps it was Concubine Wen's idea?" Lan Qi said this casually, and then said, "There is one more thing, the imperial concubine must mention it when she asks the concubine to come to see you."

Xuan Ye moved his chopsticks again, and asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter?"

Lan Qi immediately said: "You call nobleman Ping to sleep with you."

Xuan Ye choked on a mouthful of food, coughed again and again, startled Eunuch Li outside and hurriedly brought people in to see the scene, but was scolded by the emperor angrily, and glared at Lan Qi angrily: "She told you to die, you also go to die?" ?”

Lan Qi has long been scolded by Xuan Ye for being stubborn, and they are not tired of being together every day. Occasionally, the emperor is in a bad mood because of unhappy government affairs, and he will see that she is not pleasing to the left or right, or there is a disagreement on something, Lan Qi Occasionally, Xuan Ye would swear angrily when he was bold enough to wrestle with him, so these few words didn't hurt her at all, and he said with a serious face: "If the emperor was as fair as others to Ping Gui, there wouldn't be such things. Although this is not your fault, but now that things have become like this, only you can solve them."

Xuan Ye said so fiercely about Lan Qi, it was just that there was no barrier between the two of them, there was no need to say a word too seriously, if you said something angrily, you would not be so angry in your heart, whether it was intentional to snub little Hesheli, Xuan Ye himself was the last one. I understand, but there are some things that cannot be said to Lan Qi, and there is no need to tell her.

"I know." Xuan Ye finally responded, but stared at Lan Qi and said, "Don't be a sounding board in the future. If the imperial concubine wants to say it, let her say it herself. I don't love you so that you can be used by them."

Lan Qi smiled and agreed: "Just this time, I'm not going to be an example." Then she asked, "When will the emperor arrange for nobleman Ping to go to bed? The imperial concubine said that after the bedtime, he will be promoted to the position of nobleman Ping." Move to live somewhere else."

Xuan Ye annoyed her: "I just said that this is not an example. You have asked so many questions and made so many demands. Which one do you want? You let the imperial concubine ask me herself."

Lan Qi immediately stopped talking, but Xuan Ye saw the expression on his face, even if you don't agree, you have to agree, and he won't really curse, just shook his head and said: "After all, I'm an old husband and wife, now You even have to ask which servant I call, and you say it so smoothly, you don’t feel uncomfortable? You don’t feel uncomfortable, but I still feel that it’s okay.”

Lan Qi smiled softly: "How can I not feel uncomfortable, but my concubine's husband is the emperor, thinking of this, I can let go of everything."

"Emperor." Xuan Ye repeated this word lightly. Occasionally he would feel that this word was very strange, and it was because of these two words that many helpless things became logical and ruthless.

"Nalan Rongruo, did you see it?" Xuan Ye suddenly mentioned this, Lan Qi nodded, "just to meet each other."

Xuan Ye said: "He came here just for this matter, to tell me that the guard died, and he died so happily. This is the most swift and ruthless thing I have ever seen him do. One thing. Although he is capable of literary and military skills, he has a more literati temperament. He is often indecisive in situations, which is his biggest shortcoming. Mingzhu often says that he is difficult to be responsible for this, but this time, he has no scruples. Let that guard commit suicide."

Xuan Ye said the word "suicide" very emphatically, Lan Qi understood that the guard's death was definitely not suicide but homicide, could it be that Nalan Rongruo did it?His stance, which is equivalent to cutting first and playing later, is partly for the emperor's face, but most of the reasons must be for the nobleman Jue Chan.

"He didn't even care about Suo'etu, and directly executed this matter, saying that he would not be able to leapfrog, anyway, it's very embarrassing." Xuan Ye snorted, "Alright, give Suo'etu a blow in the head to make him sober, it's a pity In front of Mingzhu, it will be difficult for him to explain to his son, Mingzhu will definitely be very angry."

"It seems that the concubine shouldn't listen to what the emperor is saying now?" Lan Qi felt that the topic was getting off topic, and it was not suitable for her to always listen to Xuan Ye talking about court affairs.

Xuanye didn't care, leaned back comfortably, and said with a slight smile: "It's one thing to be involved in politics, but another to understand the situation in the court. You can use it to teach Yinzuo in the future."
