Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"I didn't want to disappoint any of you, but in the end I failed all of you." Rong Ruo's haggard face was full of sadness, "Wan'er, I still failed you."

Shen Wan shook her head, hugged her beloved tightly, tears combined with the smile on her lips and said: "I deserve all this."

The night in March was still cold. After all the troubles in Nalan Mansion, everyone was exhausted. When Mrs. Mingzhu woke up, her son had long since disappeared. The arrogance was about to be thwarted, and he took his daughter-in-law's hand and said: "Don't make the same mistakes again, and don't let my grandson and my son turn against each other one day. The greatest pride in my life is them, and the biggest failure is also theirs. ah."

With tears in her eyes, the daughter-in-law said sadly: "Emiang, I always feel that I will tolerate him and won't come back."

The young lady's worries soon became true. The rare harmony of the family since the beginning of the year was broken. Since that night, Rong Ruo has been living in a private house. It's just polite to meet in the court hall, don't say a word.Mingzhu's father and son have been at odds for a long time, and the courtiers and colleagues have long seen it.

And in the harem, the nobleman Jue Chan was ordered to confine her feet in the Xianfu Palace to reflect on her mistakes, but she did not ask her about the crime of adultery. The guard who "suicided" was said to be a hysterical madman after all. Just because of the difference in one sentence, the result is completely different. Lan Qi was worried that the nobleman Jue Chan would be unable to argue because of this. In the final analysis, everything depends on his attitude.

As for Mrs. Ping, in the next ten days, I went to Qianqing Palace twice. The second time was finally no longer a blank sheet of paper, but the emperor did not promote her status as the imperial concubine said. As a reward, she was given a small courtyard to live alone, and the day after she was blessed, she moved away in a beautiful manner.

Before that, Concubine Tong said she was sick and hid in the dormitory and did not see little Hesheli until the day she was about to leave, but little Hesheli swaggered to the door to salute, and said to Tongpin through the door: "In the future, my sister will also take the position of the lord of the first palace. I must remember to thank my sister for her support today. Our good days are yet to come."

Concubine Tong hid in the room without saying a word, Yuzhi came out in embarrassment and said that her master had fallen asleep, Ping Gui sneered and said, "Why do you always sleep, you should get up and walk, how can you get better if you have been sleeping all the time? You and Your Majesty Said, after a few days, I will take care of her place, and I will invite her to drink tea."

Yuzhi bowed her head and respectfully sent nobleman Ping to leave. After the bustling people who followed her finally left, Yuzhi hurriedly called a few court ladies and eunuchs to clean the inside and outside of the East Palace to see if nobleman Ping had anything If something is left behind, send it to her quickly, and don't let her have a chance to find an excuse to come back.

When Yuzhi returned to her bedroom, Tong Pin stood at the window watching the scene outside, and when she heard Yuzhi say that she had left, she nodded and said, "Good to go, my place is finally clean again."

Yuzhi pursed her lips, hesitated and said: "Master, don't blame the slaves for being talkative and unruly, but you really should be tougher. Even if the mistresses and masters in the palace are not easy to get along with, you have never seen you so afraid of her." ah."

Tong Pin pouted and said, "Since when have I been afraid of her?" But she said this without any confidence, her eyes were reddened for a while, and she said wronged, "This is what I am, and I want to win, but I can't bear it." Can't afford to offend, can't I still hide?"

Fortunately, Mrs. Ping moved away, after all, it was a happy thing, and she no longer had to look up and down, and Concubine Tong's mood would improve after a while, and she even came to Xianfu Palace in person to tell Mr. Jue Chan the good news, and she always wanted to Apologize to her for the matter, after all, the source of the matter lies with her.

Although Jue Chan's feet were banned, she didn't say that no one could come to visit her. After sitting with Concubine Wen Guifei for a while, Concubine Tong came to Jue Chan's side hall.

Jue Chan saw that Tong Bin was so happy, and reminded her: "For a person like Ping Gui, the empress just let her. She likes fighting and fighting. If you ignore her several times, she will get tired of it."

Concubine Tong said yes again and again, and sighed: "The life in the harem is not easy. I have experienced the cruelty of the harem this time. I am just a small fish in the pond, and I have suffered a lot, let alone those who came from the cusp of the storm. What about those who have fallen? It is inevitable that they will lose all their desire to strive for glory and show off. It is better to be low-key and forbearing, which is the destination of peace of mind and body. So I like you, you are such a quiet person, with When you are together, I feel very relieved."

But Jue Chan said: "Thanks to the great love of the empress, but the status of the concubine is embarrassing. The empress of the imperial concubine treats the concubine a lot. You have to tolerate the relationship between the sisters. When it is important, the empress of the imperial concubine can help you. You have to respect her." with my own sister."

Concubine Tong nodded, but she seemed to be more helpless. She sighed for some reason, and just muttered: "It's fine now, and I don't expect it to be better." After a while, she felt better again, and said, "According to the days, the Dragon Boat Festival will be better." Be more lively, when the time comes, I will ask my sister to release your confinement. From now on, my place will be clean, and you can often come and sit." She lowered her voice and said, "The imperial concubine is going to have a baby, it is not convenient here .”

Jue Chan just smiled, but didn't agree to her directly, and brought up the incident of that day for some reason, Tong Pin sighed: "I heard that Nalan Rongruo, who is next to the emperor, went to interrogate the guard in person, but it didn't take long for him to walk away. The guard committed suicide. The other side said that he was not in a good mood because of the frustration of his promotion recently. He was supposed to be dismissed a long time ago, but he did not expect such a thing. In short, the mouth is theirs, how to say what they like , you see that nobleman Ping is proud, even if she didn't do anything to you, at least she has won the emperor's favor."

What Tong Bin said, the person in front of her was stunned, she didn't know why Jue Chan was in a daze, and she advised her: "Don't be sad, just be a demon like Ping Gui, and go if you don't know next time. Fool others, and everyone will soon forget about it."

But the more she persuaded, the worse the nobleman Jue Chan's expression became. A string of teardrops rolled down his cheeks, which frightened Tong Pin so much that he comforted her repeatedly: "I won't mention it anymore, let's not talk about it anymore. Don't be sad, After a long time, no one will remember."

But no matter how long the days are, the roots of love are still deeply buried in her heart. Even if the branches and leaves are cut off with a sword, a little bit of rain, dew and sunshine will grow the tenacious roots again. Tears, I asked in my heart: Nalan Rongruo, why are you bothering?

In a blink of an eye, it was already April. This year, the emperor set up an official school in Jingshan, so that those idle children from the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could have something to do, and the elder brothers in the palace did not relax for a moment in their studies.The fourth elder brother has entered the study room by himself. At such a young age, he gets up early and stays late every day. He loves the imperial concubine very much, but he knows that reading is the most important thing. Besides taking care of him every day, he dare not do anything to delay his son's study.

The fourth elder brother is talented and intelligent. Although he entered school earlier, he studied very hard. Although the third elder brother has a weak personality, he is also somewhat talented in reading. The two younger brothers are very appreciated by the master. Going beyond, he also worked harder, but after all, the elder brother lacked some talent, and his riding and archery martial arts were getting better and better. The emperor knew that people had strengths and weaknesses, so he no longer forced him too much.

On that day, all the concubines gathered together to talk about how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, because the third day of May is the anniversary of Queen Hesheli's death. In the past, this day was hindered, and the Dragon Boat Festival was rarely celebrated with excitement, but in the past so many years, it is not as good as before. Pay attention, and this year, another little Hesheli appeared in the palace to put on airs under the cover of her late sister.

For women, it is naturally more important to celebrate the festival lively. Since the imperial concubines meant this, they flattered and suggested how to do it lively. Later, they seemed to mention inviting the female relatives of princes and ministers to the palace to visit the garden.

Lan Qi didn't ask much about how to celebrate the festival, she only heard Sister Rong complaining to her, saying that the imperial concubine was a big spender, and it would cost a lot of money to do everything she said, Lan Qi laughed that she must have a way to get the money from other places Come, Concubine Rong laughed and scolded her: "You are capable, when you are housekeeper tomorrow, let's see how you can break a copper plate into two halves."

This day, he brought Yinzuo out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and promised his son to wait for the fourth elder brother to finish school today. The mother and son wandered to the study room, and along the way Yinzuo asked Erniang if there was a dragon boat for the Dragon Boat Festival. Lan Qi said that he saw the imperial concubine for a while and asked him to ask himself, and after a while, he waited in the study after school, the elder brother ran out like a gust of wind, hurriedly saluted the empress de concubine, and ran away.

The crown prince was naturally not with them, and then Yinzhi and Yinzhen came out, and Yinzhi saluted the concubine De, knowing that they were going to go with the fourth elder brother, he took a few young eunuchs and left, Yinzuo ran up He held the fourth brother's hand and said joyfully, "fourth brother, can we ride the dragon boat together on the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Yin Zhen said seriously: "I can't play with you today, I have to recite the book."

Lan Qi already saw that something was wrong with the child, and the little eunuch who followed him was limping, so she asked with a smile: "Little Hezi, didn't you go out with the same shoes today? You can't walk well no matter what. ?”

The little eunuch who follows the fourth elder brother is thirteen or fourteen years old. People in the palace call him Xiao Hezi. He takes care of the affairs in the fourth elder brother's study, and he is also regarded as half a companion. If the elder brothers do something wrong, they will be punished on their behalf. See With his condition today, he must have been hit by a board on his ass.

Yinzhen was very embarrassed, and looked back at him: "Go back and rest, I will definitely not let you be beaten again in the future, and I will ask my mother to reward you with a piece of silver."
