Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Hui was suspicious, not seeing Concubine Yi gloating and underestimating the enemy, she frowned and said, "A small promise can turn the sky around? Jue Chan is a noble person no matter how bad he is, what right does she have to make trouble, and a person like Concubine De would Let them fight and be jealous?"

Concubine Yi disdainfully snorted and said: "Sister also knows that the Wu Ya family has been taking care of the nobleman Jue Chan a lot recently. There are rumors in the palace that the reason why the nobleman Jue Chan was moved to Yanxi Palace dying is because the noble concubine abused her. For what reason can the imperial concubine abuse her? I reckon it must have something to do with Concubine De. We all know what happened that night. After the emperor left Xianfu Palace, Concubine De was already waiting in Qianqing Palace. It can be seen that they agreed Understand."

"What does this have to do with it?" Concubine Hui was still skeptical about the situation in Changchun Garden.

Concubine Yi laughed: "It turns out that the Yonghe Palace issued a chapter promising to be charming to the emperor for Concubine De. For Zhang Xu herself, no matter how he got on the dragon bed at the beginning, and now he has tasted so much sweetness, how can he easily give it up to others? But now Concubine De is recruiting another beautiful and incomparably beautiful Jue Chan family. In the future, she will take another portion of the little favor left by Concubine De. I promise you can follow? Sister, you have your reasons, I I also have my reasons. Could it be that you are still looking forward to them? I hope they will fall apart and fight each other."

Concubine Hui listened quietly, thinking and thinking in her heart, Concubine Yi's opinion is not impossible, but she can't take it lightly, after all Concubine Yi doesn't know about that matter, and she is still waiting for the outcome of the matter in her heart. But there was something about Zhang's promise to fight for favor. How could there be so many coincidences in the world, they just came together, and it made sense.

"Sister, be careful. Jue Chan might hate you for taking away her eighth elder brother. If you join forces with Concubine De to deal with us in the future, it will be difficult. They have had contacts in the past. Ever since Jue Chan or The maid hooked up right then, didn't she?" Concubine Yi said as she touched the tea bowl in front of her, she no longer warmed her hands, she raised her face and wanted to call the maid to serve tea, but she suddenly saw Brother Ba standing in front of the door , She was startled in her heart, Concubine Hui also saw it, and said embarrassingly, "Yinhu, why are you here?"

"I want to go and play with Jiudi." Yinhu ran in happily, as if he didn't hear what Concubine Yi said just now, and asked him obediently if he could go to Changchun Palace, Concubine Yi coaxed him to go, saying Jiu Elder brother is taking a nap at home, and asks him to wake Yinzhen up.

The child bounced away and Concubine Yi asked Concubine Hui with a guilty face: "Did sister tell the child? About his mother?"

Concubine Hui kept a cold face, and didn't want to really say anything to blame Concubine Yi for her lack of sense, so she just sighed: "I probably heard it from some court lady and eunuch, I think this child knows it, but right now I feel that Mrs. Chan is not in the palace. Otherwise, I thought, let this child see with his own eyes that I didn't rob him, but his mother didn't want him, and we have a very good relationship between mother and child, so don't make a difference for this matter."

Concubine Yi perfunctory: "I see that Yinhu is very good, sister don't have to worry."

Concubine Hui knew that she had no good intentions, but she brought it up because she was really worried. She raised the eighth elder brother in the hope that the child could help Yinti in the future. I don't know, it's fine if I don't help Yinti in the future, but I will become a stumbling block or even an enemy instead, how good?

With this thought, Concubine Hui suddenly remembered the day Jue Chan's mother and son were kicked out of Xianfu Palace by the noble concubine. Shi once said to her: "Your Majesty, be careful of raising tigers."

Thinking about it now, she was really startled, Concubine Hui couldn't help covering the door of her heart, Concubine Yi saw that she was strange, she quickly probed her head and asked, "What's wrong, sister?"

Concubine Hui was annoyed and said bitterly: "From now on, in front of the child, don't talk about his biological mother."

On the eighth elder brother's side, he brought the nursing mothers to Yikun Palace. The ninth elder brother was not taking a nap, but riding on the little eunuchs to let them crawl on the ground, waving a willow stick as a whip in his hand. When the eighth brother came, he smiled and shouted: "Mynah, you come to play too."

Yinhu stood aside with his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "It's still cold on the ground, don't bother people, come down quickly."

On the side, Princess Kejing was sitting and basking in the sun. While calling Yinhu to eat fruit, she said: "What are they afraid of as slaves? How much weight can Yinzhen's small stature have? Let us have a good time and appreciate it." Their silver ingots are still smiling when they turn around, slaves are slaves."

Yinhu disagreed, and instead of sitting down beside Sister Huang, she came over to Yinhu and said, "How about we go to the study room? Come and find me."

Brother Jiu happened to be tired of riding the big horse, threw the willow stick in his hand and turned over, and the maids helped arrange his clothes and wipe his sweat. The two brothers said goodbye to Ke Jing and walked towards the study together.

As a result, they came at an unfortunate time, when the little eunuch next to the fifth elder brother was beaten on behalf of the master. When a bench was placed in the yard, two or three people beat each other with a board as thick as an arm. Hiding behind mynah and trembling.

Let’s say that the fifth elder brother has been raised in the Ningshou Palace. At the beginning, the empress dowager asked the queen mother not to have any enlightenment education for the children. The fifth elder brother did not know Chinese characters before entering the study, but the other brothers were the seventh elder brother in the elder brother’s office. I also followed the literate old eunuch to memorize the Three-Character Sutra of the Thousand-Character Classic. Most of them could already read the characters when they entered the study room. He can only be beaten by the little eunuch who follows him.

At this scene, the elder brothers also stood in the door to watch, and the fifth elder brother stood in front with an indifferent expression. This kind of thing happened a lot, and he didn't care anymore. Anyway, the emperor's grandmother will comfort him when he goes back, and he will also reward these little eunuchs , A beating is nothing.

After playing the board, I have to go back to study. Some people saw that the eighth and ninth elder brothers were here. They could not disturb the elder brother's study, but just watched from a distance. When the brothers sat down, they talked about seeing the eighth and ninth elder brothers. The elder brother came, and the third elder brother said to Yinqi: "You have to study hard. In the future, when Yinzhen enters the study and sees that your elder brother who is a compatriot with one mother is not good, he will not learn well."

The fifth elder brother didn't dare to refute his elder brother, but he was full of dissatisfaction, and said sullenly: "Who is the same mother as him, I was raised by the emperor's grandmother."

The eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother saw the eunuch being beaten outside, so they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they left the study quietly. The ninth elder brother turned pale with fright, and asked the eighth elder brother, "Do you want to be beaten when you go to the study?"

"We won't be beaten, it's the little eunuch who gets beaten, but if we make a big mistake, we will be sent to Huang Ama, Huang Ama will either punish us himself, or hand us over to Er Niang." He didn't go to school, and he already knew a lot of rules in the study room, and he was not frightened by the scene just now, so he said calmly, "Don't be afraid, I will teach you in the future, we have to read better than the emperor brothers."

Brother Nine was still frightened, so he held mynah's hand tightly and said, "Mynah, I'll follow you, don't let me get beaten."

Yinzhen talked about this matter in front of Eniang at night, it was not the first time Yifei heard that the fifth elder brother was not good at homework in the study room, and the eunuchs around him had changed several times, but there was nothing she could do about it .Not to mention that the Empress Dowager didn't give her a chance to get close to the eldest son, but she ran into the child occasionally, and the fifth elder brother was a stranger to her. Crawling out of her belly, so cold and hard-hearted, Yifei's patience and love are gradually being worn out.

Concubine Yi planned to go to the Changchun Garden with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. There are fewer guards in the Ningshou Palace. She can go and have a look if she has a chance. Wrong, of course it's not that I hope that the child is sick, and can take care of it even if it is not sick, but the people in Ningshou Palace are really superior, even she, the Yifei empress, dares to stop, killing the queen mother will make no one disturb the fifth elder brother's daily life , not even a mother-in-law.

Every time Tao Hong met her master and was sad about it, she would persuade her to forget it, gradually Concubine Yi herself said: "Why should I worry about him, I just take good care of Brother Nine and Eleven, as if I never had this child."

There are all kinds of mother-child relationships in the palace. There are those who are estranged from the biological mother and the child, and some who are intimate with the adoptive mother. Lan Qi once watched the imperial concubine's affection for the fourth elder brother, and felt that maybe it doesn't matter whether she is biological or not. Now she raises thirteen children by herself. Brother, I feel the same way.

At first, I just thought it was unbelievable. From now on, I would consider a child from another place as my own, and I would first recognize him as Xuan Ye's child, and then I would gradually get used to it.But even if he decides to love this child wholeheartedly, in his heart, he doesn't want to force himself to identify his "own child".

However, these days, the clean Changchun Garden has also been disturbed. For some reason, there are rumors that Zhang Xu and the nobleman Juechan are not on good terms. Lan Qi is busy with Ningchun Hall every day, and has never seen it with her own eyes, but the emperor is lucky from time to time. Everyone in Zhang Jia's family knew about it, but they didn't understand it. They were obviously very likable, so why did they compete for favor?

But because everything was just a rumor, Lan Qi didn't pursue it too much. It is very sensitive and embarrassing to pursue the competition for favor. Although she is in charge of everything in the Changchun Garden for the time being, she may not be qualified to stand tall and point out such things. Don't end up On the contrary, it made people feel that she was jealous. Even if the Empress Dowager asked, she would just say that someone was talking nonsense and didn't care.

In the beginning of April, on the tenth day of the lunar new year, the emperor was scheduled to go back to the Forbidden City to listen to the prince's lectures. These days, the prince and the elder brother would occasionally visit Changchun Garden, and the eldest elder brother Fujin would also come to greet the queen mother and the empress dowager. The empress dowager greeted the emperor Why not bring the children here to study, Xuan Ye said that Changchun Garden has a beautiful scenery and is much more interesting than the palace, it is inevitable that the children have entered the garden and have no intention of studying and wanting to play, and it will not be too late after a few years.

In private, Lan Qi was making fun of Xuan Ye who didn't want anyone to disturb his rare cleanliness. When the two laughed together, Xuan Ye would ask her ambiguously who doesn't want to be disturbed. Naturally, anything can be said between the beds. What matters is dedication and comfort.

But the emperor was in Ruijingxuan in those few days, so no one disturbed him at night, but during the day, Shi Zhang promised to always come over to join in the fun. Come every day.Xuanye criticizes papers or rests during the day, and does not agree to talk with Zhang, so he doesn't care too much, but Lan Qi has selfish intentions, she is with the empress dowager all day long, and now she spends less time with the emperor alone for a longer time, which is very easy With such a situation, she still has to deal with a small promise of twittering, which hinders her face, and it is difficult for her to open her mouth to see off the guests if they don't leave.

This day, Eunuch Liang came to report to Lan Qi about the affairs in the palace. The poisoning was stuck on the palace lady, and no one could be found suspicious. Whether there is a ghost in his heart, it is impossible to let others pry into private and important matters casually. Eunuch Liang said that he might have to rely on the empress to deal with several empresses by himself in the future to see if he can get something out of it.

Lan Qi asked about the source of the arsenic, and Eunuch Liang also carefully checked the place where he could reach out. There was nothing suspicious inside and outside the palace. They were linked together, but Lan Qi insisted not to torture the court lady to extract a confession, and continued to keep her alive.

But Eunuch Liang mentioned another matter, and said strangely: "The servant has been watching the exchanges between the palace and the garden recently. Zhang promised to send people from the garden to the palace a few days ago, and there are concubines in the six palaces."

"What did you get?" Lan Qi was also surprised.

Eunuch Liang said: "It's not unusual. The flowers blooming in the garden were picked early in the morning, and the fresh ones were sent to the palace before the sun came out. According to people in the palace, it was Zhang who promised to be filial. Ladies and gentlemen, please also take a look at the scene of Changchun Garden."

Lan Qi frowned: "Is she so frivolous? There are people who appreciate such things, but if they don't, don't they misunderstand that she is trying to show off and mock people for not being able to drive?"

Eunuch Liang said: "That's the reason, the servant felt strange, and came to tell the empress, so you don't know, the empress?"

Lan Qi shook her head and sighed: "I follow the Empress Dowager every day, and now the Emperor has issued an order that no messy things should be sent to the old grandmother, and I am by my side, so naturally I am blocked a lot, not to mention picking some flowers is not a big deal , It’s normal not to mention it.”

Eunuch Liang saw that Concubine De thought like this, so he didn't say anything more, but when he was about to leave, she still told him suddenly: "You can watch for me and see if there is anything else that Zhang promised."

In the next few days, there was nothing new that Zhang promised, and the garden was still quiet and quiet. On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Lan Qi was going to sleep at night, and someone from the emperor's side suddenly came and asked the concubine De to pack up a few things. , leaving the garden with the emperor early tomorrow morning, Lan Qi thought she was going back to the palace with her, but when she met Xuan Ye the next morning, he had no intention of letting her go back at all.
