Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi signaled the imperial physician to step back for now, and said softly when she was young: "Everyone in the palace knows that I am taking contraceptive medicine."

Huanchun really forgot about it, but asked: "My Lady's idea, is it hiding this matter?"

Lan Qi smiled and said, "I can't hide it for a few months, but then my stomach got bigger. The emperor is going to return to the palace after autumn. I don't know what will happen in the palace until the beginning of the first month. After all, I was the one who took the contraceptive pill with great fanfare. Now that I am pregnant, it is obvious that everything I did before was just a show for them. They originally suspected that I used all means to flatter the emperor. Guard against me everywhere."

"They are all so busy." Lan Ying hummed impatiently, and sat down beside her and said, "My life is hard, but it's easier to see others? What are these people thinking about?" ?”

Huan Chun smiled wryly, and was about to speak, when she heard Second Miss say: "In my opinion, elder sister is too worried, whether you take medicine or not is up to them, whether you have children or not has nothing to do with them, the less we care, they The more anxious you are, what are they doing?"

"No wonder the emperor always praises you. If I hadn't married you to Ah Ling, I would be jealous." Lan Qi was relieved, and signaled to Huan Chun to prepare clothes for her before going out. She smiled and pulled her sister, "This time Elder sister will listen to you, let's live our lives as usual, as long as we understand everything in our hearts."

Lan Ying was triumphant: "I am the mistress of the house now, is my sister convinced?"

It can't be compared to the other sisters in the palace who work together as husbands. Even if they share the same mind, there is always some conflict, but Lan Qi doesn't have these worries. Now that Xuan Ye married her sister into a noble family, it also gave her the opportunity to go in and out of the palace frequently. It would be a good thing to marry someone who is innocent, but the status is low, and it is not convenient to go in and out of the palace. Sure enough, if Xuan Ye considers her, he must be considerate in everything.

A group of people meandered to Ningchun Hall, where the Empress Dowager was picking out jewelry with the Empress Dowager, and she smiled when she saw Lan Qi and said, "The Empress said it's rare for your sister to come, so I coax you to go back to Ruijingxuan for a day, and share the jewelry with me." Take it out to dry, if it falls into your eyes, I don’t know which ones will change owners. You are really rich and lucky, and you will catch up again.”

The empress dowager laughed, let Lan Ying sit down beside her, and asked them why they came here again. The two sisters whispered for a while, and Lan Ying smiled and said, "I'm here to congratulate you. Madam, sit down too."

"Congratulations?" The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager spoke in unison.

Lan Qi's cheeks were slightly red. Although she was the mother of several children, it was a private matter. She couldn't help being shy in front of her elders, and said with a soft smile: "Just now I asked the imperial doctor to look at it. Thanks to the empress dowager and the empress dowager, God favors you." , the concubine is pregnant again."

After a moment of silence in the room, the Queen Mother immediately asked in surprise, "Haven't you been taking contraceptive pills?"

The Empress Dowager on the side was already full of joy, and said with a smile to her daughter-in-law: "That's a deceitful cover. She used to be drugged when she was pregnant with a child. Yinzuo is gone. You don't need to guess that she will want another one." Son, let those people miss her."

The Empress Dowager recited Buddha's palms together, and blamed Lan Qi: "I don't even tell you what to do, and I still don't think it's worth it for you. Thinking about it, the Queen Mother won't talk about you, and it's useless for me to mention it. Good boy, eat it when you are young. What does that thing do, your luck lies in the future."

Lan Qi nodded and said with a smile: "The concubine remembers, next time I will definitely not hide it from you."

"Poor us Lan Ying." The Empress Dowager suddenly put her arms around Lan Ying, frowned to comfort her, "Seeing your sister is good, you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid, there are capable imperial physicians in the palace, and they will definitely help you." Take care of yourself."

Lanying is happy by nature, she can't touch the scene and hurt her feelings, she just smiled: "Should the Empress Dowager send someone to announce the good news to the Long Live Lord? The Emperor must be very happy."

This is indeed a serious matter. Aunt Su Mala found a reliable person to go to the Changrui Mountain Palace. At the same time, she invited several imperial physicians to give Concubine De's pulse. She gave birth in the first month, and sent Lan Qi back early to rest. The first few months were very important, and she was not allowed to come and serve her again.

It was late in the day and night, when Madam Su Mala came to see if the Empress Dowager was asleep, while she was about to blow out the candles on the candlestick, she suddenly heard the Empress Dowager calling her: "Su Mala, is that you?"

"Master, it's a servant girl. Are you still asleep?" Madam Su Mala lit the candle again, came over to set up the tent, and asked carefully, "Is it stuffy in the room?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "In the future, let the maids below do the things at night. You are getting older, so it's time for others to serve you. Take good care of your body."

"Your maidservant is being strong." Mammy smiled, and put a big pillow on the empress dowager's bed to make it more comfortable to lean on, and then asked if there was any discomfort.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "It's because my heart is not at ease. My body knows it by itself day by day, and there are still some days left."

The mother smiled and said: "Everything is fine now, why are you worrying about it? The Concubine De is also happy again. I feel that this time, I can get a little elder brother."

"You really got it, little brother, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" The Empress Dowager sighed slightly, but then waved her hand and said, "That's all, I shouldn't worry too much, this is something that will happen to her for the rest of her life, and I can't see it either." Come on, worry about what to do."

"What are you worried about?" Aunt Su Mala didn't understand.

The old empress dowager's eyes were full of worry. Under the dim candlelight, she could not see her powerful courage when she was young. She only saw an elder's love for her children and grandchildren. In the future, these elder brothers can't compete for the seat of Yuqing Palace? I have told Fuquan Changning, but there are too many people, I can't tell them to come, and I always feel that there will be a day, how can I feel at ease. "

Aunt Su Mala listened quietly, and asked after a long time: "Master, please excuse the disrespect of the servants, let me ask you a lot, if the prince is really unlucky in the future, do you and the emperor have someone you care about?"

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes slowly, shook her head very slightly, and said softly: "The inheritance of the royal family cannot be entrusted to one person. If not, why would the Sixth Court of Sangong come to spread branches and leaves for the royal family?"

The elderly master and servant had a lot of words that night, but these words would not reach the ears of the third person. Ning Chuntang just passed the night quietly and peacefully, and no one knew what they said. As for the inheritance of the royal family, it is even more unbearable for ordinary people to discuss it.

The next day, as the good news of Concubine De's pregnancy spread, the garden became lively. The concubines who came with them were all friends with Yonghe Palace, and they all gathered in Ruijingxuan to visit her that day, and they never socialized much The nobleman Jue Chan also came to join in the fun together, and did not hide his affinity with Concubine De at all. Concubine Duan saw it in her eyes, and thought in her heart, that Zhang promised that she really lost Concubine De's heart.

But the Forbidden City knew about Concubine De's pregnancy earlier than Changrui Mountain Palace. Needless to say, the surprise of the Sixth Palace, even the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace was upset. After the news came, Qinglian went in and out of the bedroom several times. But the imperial concubine was in a daze all the time, it wasn't until Xiao Hezi came back from the study to ask the imperial concubine to take medicine on time every day on behalf of the master, that she woke up and asked a few words.

Seizing the opportunity, Qinglian asked her master what was wrong, and the imperial concubine sneered, "I was thinking about how I bullied Concubine De, what was I thinking at that time, Concubine De did not do anything to me, but I hate her To the bone, I tried every means to torture her. Looking at everything now, I raised her son and planned to rely on him for the rest of my life. You said that the fourth elder brother is in front of me every day, do you expect to slap me for his mother every day? ?”

"If the fourth elder brother hears what you say, how sad will the fourth elder brother be?" Qinglian hurriedly persuaded, "Madam, the past is over. Think about it, there are so many elder brothers in the palace, which one is like the fourth elder brother?" Brother loves you so much to your own mother?"

The imperial concubine swayed, tears welled up in her eyes, she tried to laugh, but the tears fell when she grinned, she laughed at herself and raised her hand to wipe the tears, but wiped the blood on the back of her hand, Qinglian exclaimed that the empress had a nosebleed, the emperor The imperial concubine stared blankly at the blood on the back of her hand.

Qinglian asked her to keep her head still, so she wanted to call the maids outside to invite the imperial physician, but the imperial concubine stopped her and said, "Don't make a fuss, it's just hot, you make such a fuss, Yinzhen won't be able to sleep again tonight, this time Isn't it good?"

After that, the imperial concubine did not continue to bleed, she changed her clothes and cleaned up, and ordered her subordinates not to startle the fourth elder brother, and she rested for a long time without any abnormalities, it seems that it was really because of the hot weather, and the trouble of thinking about those things just now made her heart agitated, which made her even hotter for the sake.

But Qinglian and the others were all worried about the health of the imperial concubine, and persuaded the current medicine to be taken with good times and bad times, and it was not very effective. I should ask Uncle Guo to find a better doctor to prescribe the prescription. It is always so tepid Consuming is not an option.

The imperial concubine didn't care, she sneered and said: "Didn't they all say harsh words, I hurt the root of my youth, the most important thing is to rest."

Qinglian was silent, she also knew Changchun Garden was a good place, it would be great if the imperial concubine could go there to rest, but she couldn't let go of the fourth elder brother, the emperor once wanted to take her there, but the imperial concubine herself refused, but in Staying in the Forbidden City, when can I get the word "quiet"?

In the evening, the fourth elder brother came back from school, and when he came to say hello to Er Niang, he noticed that her complexion was not good, and asked if she was not feeling well. Seeing Qing Lian evading her words, the smart child could tell the clues at a glance, and asked what was out of their mouths , the imperial concubine couldn't laugh or cry, and coquettishly said to her son: "There are few people in this world who can take care of your mother, but you can. Don't be angry, my mother is fine."

The fourth elder brother had a sullen face, complaining that his mother didn't take good care of his body, he didn't say that he already had an idea in his heart, and said a few words of comfort on his face, and after returning, he asked Xiao Hezi to prepare pen and ink, and to write a letter of greeting to Huang Ama.

Here, the letter from the fourth elder brother has not yet been sent out of the Forbidden City. In the Changrui Mountain Palace, an urgent message has been received from the capital. Eunuch Li got the good news and came to the emperor excitedly. Asked with a smile if there was any happy event in the imperial court, Eunuch Li was so happy that he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly replied: "It's the good news from Changchun Garden, and the imperial concubine is happy again."

The prince's thick eyebrows trembled slightly, he lowered his eyes and smiled, and walked away with an oh.
