Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Yi sneered and said: "The imperial concubine is indeed the most honorable person among us, but after all, she is not the real queen. She holds the title of deputy queen, so she can't really regard herself as a queen. In the future, my fifth elder brother and ninth elder brother will get married , if she enters the Kunning Palace, I don't dare to care about it, but if she is still only in the imperial concubine position, then I don't want our elder brother to kowtow to her. Sister Hui, please think about it, the queen and the queen Concubine, that is a world of difference, how can concubine Huang respect her aunt?"

"In the past two years of festive banquets, the emperor has always had the position of the imperial concubine. If you don't mention the imperial concubine, you can't compare with it. In the harem, no one can stand shoulder to shoulder with the imperial concubine." Concubine Rong analyzed calmly, and advised Concubine Hui, "There are rumors inside and outside the palace that the imperial concubine will not be crowned queen for a day or two. If the emperor brings the imperial concubine to receive the gift from the elder brother tomorrow, it will show the Holy Majesty's intentions. Anyway, none of us can surpass her, elder brother If you really kowtow to him, you won’t feel wronged.”

Concubine Hui didn't say a word, although Concubine Rong was more reliable than Concubine Yi in any way, but Concubine Yi's words hit her heart, she had worked so hard to raise the child, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, As the biological mother, she was the last one to receive the gift, why should the imperial concubine accept the elder brother's salute as the aunt's mother? If it doesn't pay attention to the name and status, then anyone can make the elder brother kowtow?

"I also understand Sister Rong's reasoning. The problem is that if you really don't care about these things, what else is there to do in the palace, and why hasn't the emperor canonized her for so long?" It is unacceptable, and she is not the person involved, of course she spoke easily, and sneered vigorously, "If this is the case tomorrow, then the imperial concubine is looking at Sister Hui as a bully, and she wants to use this to confess to the world that she came to Rizhong Palace status."

Concubine Rong persuaded her to say a few words less, Concubine Hui touched the court beads on her chest, calmed down and said: "What's the use of our discussion here, naturally the imperial concubine dare not call herself the mother of the middle palace, if she really follows the emperor to accept Yinti tomorrow Li, the emperor will naturally drive her away if he thinks something is wrong. If the emperor doesn't say anything, it must be the emperor's intention. Anyway, she will be the queen sooner or later, and the elder brother will not be wronged. Sister Yi, you should not say a few words, and you have provoked Chengqian Palace , no good fruit to eat."

Concubine Yi rolled her eyes and said: "We live in separate six palaces, no one is going to gossip, what can she hear?"

When she said this, she was obviously aiming at Concubine Rong, as if Concubine Rong was the one who was going to go to Chengqian Palace to tell tales. How could Concubine Rong care about her self-cultivation? After taking the court clothes, let Baoyun arrange every item properly, so as not to miss such and such things tomorrow.

Concubine Hui has been so busy these past few days that she has been dizzy and dazed, it is rare that Concubine Rong is willing to help her, and she is so dedicated, no matter how busy she is like Concubine Yi, she will not be able to help her at all. I was very moved by the love in the coming year, and thanked her: "When I was young, I always said that whoever will be the mother-in-law first in the future, I will be more blessed than my sister, and I am one step ahead. But Rong Xian is also grown up, third elder brother I'm getting older too, and I will definitely help my sister with their wedding in the future."

Concubine Rong was not happy, she polished the pearls on Concubine Hui's crown with a silk handkerchief, and smiled slightly: "I hope that Yinzhi will marry Fujin, but watching Rong Xian grow up, I am getting better and better every year." Years are reluctant, the princess will go thousands of miles away when she gets married, and it will be difficult to see her a few times in her life, I am really afraid that by then, I will not even have the energy to manage the marriage."

Concubine Yi took care of Princess Kejing, the daughter left by her younger sister. Although she was not her own daughter, she loved her very much. Concubine Rong's words also spoke to her heart. The blessings that have been cultivated in several lifetimes, marrying far away will reduce the family happiness, and it will also reduce their lives, so don't be too full, but I hope the girls live a long life."

At this moment, a palace maid reported that Concubine De had arrived, and everyone was surprised why Lan Qi came, but seeing her come in from the door with a smile on her face, Concubine Hui had been treated coldly by Lan Qi before, and she never dared to get close again. There were many gifts from the Yonghe Palace, and I didn't plan to thank you in person. Now that he came by himself, although he greeted him with a smile, he was muttering in his heart.

Lan Qi and Jue Chan suspected that the Mingzhu Mansion had poisoned the crown prince and killed the sixth elder brother by mistake. How could they be friendly to Concubine Hui? should.But at this moment, I didn’t come here on my own initiative, but came from the Palace of Compassion and Ning. The Empress Dowager rewarded Concubine Hui with a new string of court beads. It's already dim, so it's better not to know, but the string that Lan Qi sent is really dazzling.

Lan Qi smiled politely: "The Empress Dowager said that Sister Hui has never been extravagant, but she will be a mother-in-law tomorrow, so she must be more majestic and dignified. People rely on clothes, and this should not be underestimated at all. When the new daughter-in-law comes to say hello to Er Niang in the morning, she should also dress gracefully and luxuriously, as daughter-in-laws are difficult to teach."

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "The whole room here is obviously for daughters-in-law, so it's like being a mother-in-law. In the future, we can't gather together to speak ill of mother-in-law, isn't it to slap sister Hui in the face?"

Concubine Hui scolded her: "Your mother-in-law lives in Ningshou Palace, how dare you say no?"

They were all joking, and Lan Qi was also very happy, and she went back with Concubine Rong soon. She was going to Yanxi Palace to see the nobleman Jue Chan, and Concubine Rong went with her, saying: "Concubine Hui used to pester She, right now, has no time to think about the elder brother's marriage, and she needs to be more careful in the future, the eighth elder brother is raised under her knee, after all, it is a restraint."

Lan Qi knew that Sister Rong was a careful person and deserved to be forthright, but she didn't get to the bottom of it. When she came to Yanxi Palace, she saw that Yi promised to speak in front of Jue Chan. After the dangerous days of high fever, the current clarity of mind is just mental fatigue.And what Lan Qi cared about most was the scar on her forehead. The doctor said it was unknown if it would fade away. The wound was deep, and it was a hole from a blow. The scar on her chin was much better.

Jue Chan didn't have much energy to speak, but she was in a good mood. Although she never had a strong desire to get rid of Concubine Wen, it would be good if she could really leave her and not be threatened by her to do so many things.Concubine De also achieved her wish. Although she had suffered, the result was better than expected.

Lan Qi didn't pester her to talk too much, and asked her to rest well, and then leave with Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong remembered the conversation of several people in the Changchun Palace, and asked Lan Qi: "Do you know how the imperial concubine will arrange tomorrow? Will the emperor agree?" Take her together to receive the elder brother's gift? According to the rules, the prince has to kneel down and kowtow three times to the emperor and queen, but we don't have a serious queen here. Concubine Yi just bluffed for a long time, and it can be seen that Concubine Hui is very reluctant The imperial concubine accepts the gift as the aunt's mother."

"The empress dowager never mentioned this matter, and my sister didn't tell me, I thought about it at all." Lan Qi really didn't expect these things, she didn't interfere in the elder brother's marriage, and didn't pay attention to the etiquette, but At the moment Concubine Rong mentioned it, she also felt that it was not a trivial matter, but she didn't reveal the slightest meaning.

The two separated later, and Lan Qi went back to Yonghe Palace to prepare her court dress. Wen Xian came over in the evening, and when she was teasing her younger siblings with her, Qinglian came from Chengqian Palace and brought fresh pastries for the fifth princess. Yes, and said to Lan Qi with a smile: "Master let this servant see if you are busy, if not, the master has something to do and wants to trouble the empress to go over there."

Lan Qi knew that this was a very polite way of saying that the imperial concubine wanted her to go, of course she would go, so she left Wen Xian to be taken care of by the wet nurse, and she and Qinglian came to Chengqian Palace, when she saw the fourth elder brother endorse the imperial concubine Listen, the imperial concubine was ignorant and just smirked. She just finished reciting when she entered the door. The fourth elder brother smiled at Lan Qi: "Wen Xian is at the concubine De's place, can I go and play with her?"

Lan Qi nodded and agreed: "Go, watch her and don't tell her to stuff things for Yin Xiang and the others."

The imperial concubine also said that she didn't need to go to the study room tomorrow, and asked the fourth elder brother to relax for a while, leaving Lan Qi alone to talk, but what she was talking about was how to match the dresses for tomorrow's dinner party, which had nothing to do with Lan Qi, so she just sat down After spending a long time with her to come up with ideas, the imperial concubine couldn't bear it at last, and told her the truth: "The Lord Long Live came to pass the decree, asking me to go to the Qianqing Palace to wait for the eldest brother to salute tomorrow morning. I am not very willing. I am not the queen of the palace. Tomorrow this will cause people to spread gossip, I don’t care, what if they point at Yinzhen and talk? But I dare not refuse the emperor, lest he get angry, do you think I should go or not?”

Lan Qi felt very happy seeing the helpless look on the imperial concubine's face. It is really his blessing that the fourth elder brother has such a mother who thinks about him. Maybe the birth mother and adoptive mother are not so important, the important thing is that the child can get care and support. take care of.

Before Xuanye had intentionally or unintentionally revealed his desire to become a queen, Lan Qi knew that the position of empress must belong to the imperial concubine, since the emperor said that he invited the imperial concubine to receive the gift together, it is equivalent to telling the world about the future of the imperial concubine It's just that the one in front of me doesn't seem to care much about the latter position. On the contrary, everything must be based on the pros and cons of the fourth elder brother. Although she is a bit paranoid, it is also her mother's love.

"Since it's the emperor's intention, why shouldn't your empress agree? You are the most honorable concubine in charge of Fengyin and the deputy queen." Lan Qi responded gently, "Furthermore, the eldest elder brother wants to marry both of you. The concubine thinks that the emperor also wants to get a good fortune, doesn't he? After all, it is only the eldest brother's wedding, if it is a prince, the emperor will think carefully about it."

The imperial concubine said again and again: "If it was the crown prince, I would not have discussed it with you, and I would have refused immediately. The crown prince's aunt cannot be the aunt. Didn't the empress Niu Hulu be killed by him?"

Lan Qi was taken aback for a moment, and smiled wryly in her heart. The imperial concubine considered the key points of the matter, and she really didn't go along with her.But now that it's agreed, Lan Qi won't stay for long, but wants to go back to see Yinzhen. After Yinzuo left, the fourth elder brother rarely comes to Yonghe Palace. Today, she took the initiative to go there to play, which made her very relieved.

After walking out of Chengqian Palace, it was already dark, because I could still see the road clearly and I didn't light up the lanterns because I was close, but I didn't go far, when suddenly a black shadow came out from the side of the road and approached Lan Qi straight.
