Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Hearing this, Lan Qi flashed a light smile on her face, stretched out her hand to serve Xuan Ye some vegetables, and said: "It is the emperor's responsibility to teach them, and it is enough for the courtiers to take care of their daily life and food."

Xuan Ye didn't continue this topic, the two sat down to eat, and then talked about other things, after eating, the crown prince wanted to come and talk, Lan Qi left early.I wanted to go back and explain to the imperial concubine, but there were people waiting outside. The empress dowager wanted to see her, so Huanchun accompanied her all the way, and said with a smile: "After being reprimanded by the emperor, it should be the empress dowager. What does it have to do with the master, why are you being scolded?"

Lan Qi also found it inconceivable, and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, if they get angry at me, there won't be any extra troubles. If they call those few to scold them, who knows what will happen later."

But the Empress Dowager did not blame Lan Qi, she just wanted to know what happened. She has always been displeased with Jue Chan. It can be seen that Lan Qi is willing to come forward. It is not just a simple pressure from the imperial concubine. , sighed: "Forget it, you should be friendly with her. In the future, she will at least remember your kindness and keep looking down on her, but she is finally at peace. Besides, from what you said, she is a kind and righteous person." .”

But he also told Lan Qi: "Although the rose is beautiful, its branches have thorns, just look at it from a distance, and don't get too close."

Lan Qi understands the reason for this, she did not intend to become relatives and friends with Jue Chan. It has been more than ten years since she was a court lady, and the only person she can confidently confess is still only Sister Bu, that is, Concubine Rong, All the concubines, Lan Qi just got along and played happily together.

It's not that she is suspicious, seeing how Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui have been close and distant over the years, and what kind of interpersonal communication in this palace, you can understand it just by looking at it.

In this farce, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong suppressed the gossip in the palace together, and they seemed to be gentle and good-natured people, but when they encountered such a thing, they were not merciful masters.Everyone in the palace knew that the two empresses were easy to talk to each other on weekdays, but when it was important, they kept their word and did not dare to offend them at critical points, so the gust of wind was quickly subdued.As for Lan Qi, she will one day take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and today's experience also makes her wiser.

After returning from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she explained to the imperial concubine the meaning of the two palaces. She did not mention that Xuanye asked her to say it herself, and the imperial concubine did not ask too much, but when it came to the nobleman Jue Chan, she wanted her to say a few words Don't go out again for a month and reflect on your mistakes. As for Mr. Ping, it depends on when the emperor is lucky, and Lan Qi doesn't have to worry about the future.

Finally back to Yonghe Palace for a rest, Yinzuo rushed to find Erniang, asked where Erniang had been all afternoon and night, coquettishly said that he was very bored, and the nurses refused to take him to play with the fourth brother, He said angrily: "If Erniang wants to leave Yinzuo behind, Yinzuo will not be with Heniang."

Lan Qi was angry and funny, and scolded him: "Little thing, even you are here to bully me?"

But when he saw his son, he couldn't help but think of the eighth elder brother. The poor eighth elder brother was abandoned by his biological mother time and time again, just like today. His mother would think about Tong Concubine and even herself, but when he was mentioned, he was cold-blooded and ruthless With such an attitude, I feel that Zen should know that the existence of the biological mother cannot be wiped out by her cold-blooded and ruthless. For the child, it is really pitiful.

Thinking wildly and thinking of Nalan Rongruo again, Xuan Ye said that it was difficult for him to explain to Mingzhu today, and he didn't know what the situation was.

Consider that Mingzhu is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Suo'etu is in charge of the inner guards, and they are two existences that can get along well.What happened today seems to have played tricks on Mr. Jue Chan, but it was actually aimed at Concubine Wen Gui and Concubine Tong.The relationship between several big families is sensitive and fragile, and the Jue Chan family has never been really counted under the Mingzhu Mansion. If Mingzhu, he would never go into this muddy water, but Rongruo rushed into the palace and quickly resolved the matter .

It doesn't seem to be enough to say that he exceeded his authority. After all, he reported "self-judgment". No one can blame him. Leaving would be even more troublesome for Mingzhu.

That night, when Rong Ruo left the palace, when he learned that his cousin was safe and sound, he relaxed his nerves and suddenly thought of Shen Wan who had been left behind without even saying a word. He was full of guilt and helplessness, and wanted to go home to comfort her, but the mansion The servants waited at the gate of the palace early to urge him back to the mansion, Rong Ruo knew that his father was looking for trouble for him, hiding was not an option, so he simply went back frankly.

But on this day, Mrs. Mingzhu accompanied the old lady to chant Buddha and eat fast in the Buddhist hall in the backyard. Nothing outside disturbed her. Crying and begging her: "Emiang, go and have a look, Ama has passed down the family law, Erniang, what should I do..."

Mrs. Mingzhu was so anxious that she couldn't speak. She learned from the servants what was going on along the way. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried to the study, and then they walked under the window. It was broken, and the mother and daughter looked at each other in shock. Could it be that the father and son did something?

"Bastard, what's the use of me giving birth to you? Since you don't see me as a father anymore, I will end you today." The refined and refined Lord Mingxiang above the court would say such cruel words, and he could only hear the words inside. For a while, Mrs. Mingzhu rushed in frightened, but saw all kinds of things smashed to pieces, a scabbard lying on the ground, and the sharp long sword was still in Mingzhu's hand, but he was passively grabbed by his son. With his collar against the wall, he is old, how can he be worthy of a son in his prime.

"Rong Ruo..." Mrs. Mingzhu shouted, she fainted from fright, the young lady helped her mother-in-law and fell to the ground together, crying and begging the father and son to let go.

But Rong Ruo turned a blind eye to all this, and held his father tightly. Compared with the long sword in his father's hand, his gaze was a sharper blade, and he went straight to his father and said, "What have you done in the court?" , Do you think you can really cheat the world? In your eyes, I am an unfilial son, but in the eyes of outsiders, everything I do is to atone for your sins. Kill me? Who will atone for you after killing me? Without me, the unfilial son , Nalan Mingzhu's strength is exhausted."

"brute……"

Faced with his father's unfounded scolding, Rong Ruo twisted his hand away, put the long sword in his hand on his neck, pierced his father's eyes like ice picks, and said angrily: "If you want to kill, just kill me!" Don't hesitate, I've been tired for a long time, and I've lived all my life just to atone for your sins?"

The young lady rushed over crying and hugged Rong Ruo, begging: "Rong Ruo, you can't do this, let go, what will you do if you die, Ama Erniang? What will happen to me and the children?"

With a bang, Mingzhu let go of the long sword in his hand first, how could he really have the intention of killing his son, but what his son said today really shocked him, he should think about the future, hesitating things, he must There is a closure.

The young lady kicked the long sword away, and the father and son gradually let go of each other. Mingzhu finally slapped his son on the face with hatred, Rong Ruo just licked the blood on his lips, and looked at his father indifferently and contemptuously. , immediately turned around and left, leaving his parents and wife alone, and rushed into the night without looking back.

For this family, for this father, he worked tremblingly in front of the emperor for more than ten years. In the end, he only got his father to kill him, and he was notorious as an unfaithful and unfilial son. What's left?

Without riding a horse, without accompanying attendants, Rong Ruo walked aimlessly in the dark night of the capital, the anger in his heart gradually faded, and before he knew it, he walked near the private house, and he was only a few steps away from home door, but he stopped.

Why did he come here, because he had nowhere to go, but this place shouldn't be where he came because he had nowhere to go, that would be unfair to Shen Wan, and he couldn't always give her affection or just to have a place to live As for being nice to her, Shen Wan was too pathetic and too cruel to her.

Turning around to leave, she thought that it would be better to just keep walking like this, wherever she wanted to go, but just as she moved, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her, under the hurried footsteps, it was Shen Wan asking: "Rong Ruo, is that you? Rong Ruo?"

Rong Ruo looked back in surprise, under the dim moonlight, but seeing Shen Wan coming towards her, she almost threw herself into her bosom, hugged his body tightly, and said with choked words: "I knew you would come back, I have been waiting for you."

"Wan'er."

"Don't leave me behind." Shen Wan cried, reaching out to hold Rong Ruo's face, as if wanting to confirm that it was her man, but in horror, she touched Rong Ruo's bloated cheeks and the dried blood at the corner of her mouth, she was nervous Trembling, he asked loudly, "Rong Ruo, what's wrong with you, did you fight with someone?"

After returning home to clean the wound, Shen Wan applied medicine to him with tears in his eyes. Seeing her so sad, Rong Ruo smiled helplessly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

After applying the medicine, Shen Wan stood aside to pack the bottles and cans. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally asked, "Why did you leave just now? I saw a figure and thought it was you who came back, but you turned around and left I thought I was dazzled, or fell asleep and dreamed."

"You have been waiting at the door." Rong Ruo frowned, and gently pulled her in front of her, "It's still cold, what should you do if you freeze?"

Shen Wan's tears fell down in big drops, she was extremely sad for some reason, it took a long time to calm down, she choked up and said: "I'm afraid you won't come back, seeing you rushing out like that in the afternoon, I'm really afraid that you will never come back again. "

"I want to come, but I..." Rong Ruo hesitated, and said softly, "I can't always come when I'm frustrated, and I can't always come by your side to avoid something, that would be unfair to you."

Shen Wan stretched out her hand to touch his swollen cheek, her heart ached beyond measure. Hearing this, she smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes: "I want to go back to Beijing with you, and I want to follow you forever. But I have always understood that I love you Yan, just met by chance, you can't bear to let me down, you have given me everything I want, but I have never been able to give you what you want. "
