Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

At the beginning, it was the Empress Dowager who ordered her to return to the palace to have a baby, and now the Empress Dowager ordered her to rest and not go out. It can be seen that this little promise is not liked by the superiors, and the one who has always been the most favored by the superiors is none other than Concubine De.It's no wonder that others would suspect that it was Concubine De who instigated the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to exclude Zhang Jiashi, otherwise how could the two bother to argue with a humble promise, and once they were disgusted by the two palaces, other concubines would not dare to come and fight with Zhang Jia Jia's closeness, she is destined to be excluded in the palace.

Concubine Rong was also implicated in this incident, and it was not considered right and wrong by the palace to point out the right and wrong of Jingyang Palace. He didn't want to leave, but seeing that Eniang didn't move, he felt very wronged, so he followed her.

Concubine Rong felt uncomfortable, and complained for a while: "Let's go, anyway, she will get married sooner or later."

Ji Xin tried every means to comfort her to no avail, and in the end she could only say: "Your Majesty, please cheer up. Zhang Xu is still in Jingyang Palace. Who knows what will happen to her in the future. It can be seen that the rumors in Changchun Garden are true. How can a concubine who is such a good person turn against others so casually?"

Concubine Rong thought about the news that Concubine Duan sent back, Lan Qi was indeed disheartened towards Zhang Jiashi now, the empress dowager and queen dowager suppressed Zhang Jiashi one after another, she must have something to do with her.For a while, he sighed why he had accepted such a person, but then he calmed down and felt strange, but right now there is not even a person to discuss with, so all he can do is wait for the emperor to return to the palace in autumn to make plans.

On Changchun Garden, the imperial concubine lives in Jifengxuan after entering the garden. Although it is only a small courtyard, it is better because of its famous name. Among the harem, only Zhonggong can truly be called Feng.Now the imperial concubine is being favored by the emperor everywhere, she obviously has the honor of the middle palace, but I don't know when she will be able to bear the name of the middle palace, it is not a bad thing to have a decent mistress in the sixth palace.

But the health of the imperial concubine is indeed worrying. After entering the garden, she met the empress dowager and the empress dowager. After entering Jifengxuan, she never came out again. In front of the children, he was forced to work hard, not only did not become healthier because of the cleanliness and tranquility in the garden, but he became seriously ill. Several imperial physicians in the palace were summoned, and Jifengxuan was full of medicine all day long.

In the afternoon of this day, the emperor got rid of his political affairs and came to Ningchun hall to pay his respects to the emperor's grandmother. The empress dowager is in good spirits today. She doesn't eat much lunch on weekdays. She has a good appetite today, so she asked the kitchen to cook mung bean and japonica rice porridge, what? It's not worthy, just eat half a bowl of it lightly.

When Xuanye came, he saw that the emperor's grandmother was eating deliciously, and wanted to eat a bowl too, but Madam Su Mala laughed: "Because I made too much, the empress dowager said to waste it, knowing that the emperor's concubine likes this mouthful, it's already too late." Send it to Jifengxuan, the emperor wants to eat it, and the servants will do it."

"Don't bother me, I'm not hungry, I'm just hungry when I see the emperor's grandmother eating deliciously." Xuan Ye didn't care, and just waited for the Empress Dowager to eat, sitting on the couch with his support, and gently shaking the fan a few times , let’s talk about recent events, and Lan Qi’s fetus is very stable. The Empress Dowager said with emotion, “Lan Qi is a blessed person, but do you think the imperial concubine is blessed? How much blessing can there be if you are born rich? There are people, but you can see that she is a young middle-aged and foreign-strong person who is ill, and she couldn't keep her child when she was pregnant in the early years, and she couldn't live after she gave birth to a child. It's really pitiful."

Xuan Ye also sighed: "In the early years, she was ignorant and did a lot of stupid things that made you angry. Now she has become a good mother and taught the fourth elder brother very well, but her health is not getting better every year, and her grandson is also in her heart. Not good."

The Empress Dowager asked suddenly: "So you haven't canonized her as a queen for a long time, is it because of her poor health?"

Xuan Ye looked slightly hesitant, finally nodded, and said helplessly: "Every time my grandson thinks about it, she must be worried about this illness and that pain. Grandmother, you know that the two queens of my grandson don't live long. .”

"That's the reason. After finally being tempted to make another queen, you must be healthy." The Empress Dowager paused, as if hesitating what she said. Seeing that Xuan Ye saw that she was hesitant to speak, she said, " Xuan Ye, no matter how vacant the Queen's position is, don't make it up to Lan Qi. You both have to remember the lessons from that year. No matter how you raise the lintel of her family now, you can't change your original identity. The concubine position is enough, and her blessings are not lacking at the moment, how great it is."

Xuan Ye responded with a smile: "Grandson has a sense of propriety. If the position of empress is not given to the imperial concubine, grandson will not give it to anyone in the future. Grandson no longer has to rely on any other faction, and no longer needs the position of the harem." Political marriage, the position in the middle palace is too restrictive, and it will affect the east palace, more things are worse than less things, if the imperial concubine can't be the queen, the grandson will never have such thoughts in the future."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, but she didn't object very much, she just smiled for a while and said: "If you can establish Lan Qi, are you still indifferent?"

Xuan Ye smiled frankly: "Sun Er sincerely hopes that the imperial concubine can live a long and healthy life, and Lan Qi can't think of things in the middle palace."

"That's good. After all, our emperor has a steelyard in his heart. You are a person who values ​​love and righteousness." The empress dowager was very comforting, and suddenly felt that there were some things that she didn't need to worry about. He was a little Miaoer who could not stand the wind and rain in the past, but he has long been a towering tree.

The days in the Changchun Garden are very clean and leisurely, and the weather is very hot in June, but the shade of the trees in the garden is very cool. The health of the imperial concubine finally lived up to this peaceful place and gradually improved, so she went to the Ningchun Hall I have greeted the Empress Dowager twice.

This morning after dinner, I took a nap in the bamboo pergola in the courtyard of Jifengxuan, slowly flipping through the handwriting written by the fourth elder brother recently, seeing that the handwriting became more and more powerful, the mother was very happy, and was about to Called Qinglian, wanted someone to send a message back to tell Si elder brother not to work too hard, be careful of heatstroke, but heard a movement in front of the door, several court ladies and eunuchs greeted them, after a while Qinglian came to the front and said: "The concubine de concubine has arrived. "

In front of the door, Lan Qi helped Huan Chun walk in slowly, seeing that the imperial concubine lived in such a place, she couldn't help laughing and sighing that it was incredible.In addition, Changchun Garden is dominated by garden landscapes, which are not as majestic and majestic as the palaces and pavilions in the Forbidden City. Most of the buildings in the garden are simple, mostly small houses with roll sheds and tile roofs. There are no painted paintings on the beams, and everything is in a quiet and elegant environment.

It is not as magnificent as Chengqian Palace. There are many phoenix trees in Jifengxuan. The house is roughly the same as Ruijingxuan. In the courtyard, a bamboo shed is built. Putting a beauty couch and a low table is really a good place to enjoy the cool air in summer.

Lan Qi knew that after the imperial concubine moved into Jifengxuan, the emperor ordered someone to build it outside and move it in, so that the pergola would not disturb the imperial concubine's recuperation, and when she recovered from her illness, there would be a place to enjoy the shade.

"The concubine greets the empress. The empress has not come to see her since she entered the garden. Please forgive me." Lan Qi arrived in front of the imperial concubine and said what was on the scene. Qinglian had already moved a stool for the empress to sit on. The imperial concubine also waved her hand and smiled disdainfully, "You are still being polite, you are pregnant and want to have a baby, how could I not know, even if you are willing to come, the Empress Dowager will not let you come to see me patient."

Lan Qi saw that the imperial concubine's spirit was as good as before, but she was happy for her, she laughed at these words, and said: "Your Majesty is recovering, Si elder brother must be very happy."

The imperial concubine sighed: "I don't know if anyone will tell him about this disease. Don't hinder him from studying. He is thinking about me. How can he be able to memorize his homework, but how can those gossips in the palace let him go?" past him?"

Lan Qi comforted her: "Si elder brother has grown up, I believe he will judge what is acceptable and what should not be heard."

The imperial concubine glanced at her: "My son, I naturally understand."

Lan Qi smiled without saying a word, a gust of wind blew, the hot sun outside was scorching, the summer wind hit her body, like a heat wave from a stove, but there was a shed here, the hot wind passed through the hall, blowing back on her body It was a bit chilly, Lan Qi was slightly sweating just now, but felt the wind blowing on her back, and she felt a little chilly.

The imperial concubine seemed to see that she was frowning, and called Qinglian to take a handkerchief to wipe off Concubine De's sweat. She had a good heart, but said coldly: "Don't get sick with me. Later, people will say that I torment you. Can't see you."

After saying these words, I remembered those things in the palace, and remembered Zhang Xu, who was said to be squeezed out by the concubine De, and couldn't help saying: "I haven't seen you for a few months. I didn't expect you to be so powerful now. What's the matter with that Zhang promised? Don't you?" She? She is not very good, and it is your face that the emperor likes."

Lan Qi has long been used to the imperial concubine's bad words, and she must understand the meaning when listening to her words. If she took the words literally, she would have been pissed off. After wiping off her sweat, she felt refreshed, and calmly replied, "What's going on in the palace?" Rumors haven't spread, how can your empress care about this matter?"

The imperial concubine snorted: "But just ask casually, if you think I'm spying on you, just don't say anything."

"The concubine came here today, just to say a few things to the empress. If the empress is not too annoying, it will be the honor of the concubine." Lan Qi smiled calmly, her bright eyes reflected the surprised face of the imperial concubine. It took a long time to nod, "You just say it."

Lan Qi asked with a smile: "Madam, do you know why there are so many phoenix trees planted in Jifengxuan?"

The imperial concubine looked around, she didn't pay much attention to what was planted here, she was ill after coming here, and she only came out to enjoy the cool and relax these few days, she knew the parasol tree, but if you asked why, how would she know, it was indispensable at this moment Ask back: "What do you say?"

Lan Qi laughed and said: "It is said in ancient times that Fengqi Wu and Luan stopped bamboo. Your Majesty now lives in Jifengxuan. There are many phoenix trees in the courtyard. The Emperor built a bamboo pergola for you. Do you understand His Majesty's intentions?"
