Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

It was indeed the messenger from the Yonghe Palace who came over, Lan Qi sat on it, and when she saw the little woman with a big belly in front of her, she asked everyone to stop talking.Huan Chun helped the master down, Da Fujin also brought the maids to salute, Lan Qi hurriedly asked Huan Chun to help her, and smiled gently: "The belly is so big, you have to be careful everywhere."

The palace said that Da Fujin was born in October, and the royal family will welcome the first grandson in October. Having a boy or a girl has a great impact on Da Fujin's fate. Lan Qi also heard that Changchun Palace burns incense and worships Buddha, praying Blessed by the gods and ancestors, so that Da Fujin can give birth to a little elder brother.

"Where is this going?" Lan Qi asked with a smile, seeing that there were not many people following Da Fujin, and someone sneaking out not far away, but she seemed to have seen the scene here, so she didn't go forward again.

Da Fujin lowered his face, and responded softly: "My concubine... I'm going to pay my respects to the empress dowager."

Lan Qi laughed in her heart, she didn't want to go to Ningshou Palace this way, and thought that the way she talked to Da Fujin had already been seen by Concubine Hui's people, although she wanted to make Concubine Hui feel guilty, but she knew that Da Fujin was in front of her mother-in-law It's not easy, I feel sorry for the young child, so it's all right, and after a few polite words, I sat down again and walked away.

When the people from Yonghe Palace left, the maid beside Da Fujin hurriedly said, "Fujin, this road does not go to Ningshou Palace."

Da Fujin was taken aback, she seldom entered the palace, she was not familiar with the palace, just now she rushed out with a feverish head, she didn't know where she was going, and awkwardly ordered: "Take me to Ningshou Palace, after going to Ningshou Palace , I'm going back."

Then the people from the Changchun Palace saw De Concubine Empress leaving, and hurriedly followed. Da Fujin was weak and helpless for a moment, but now facing the servants under the mother-in-law, he became stiff and said: "Go back and tell Er Niang, I will leave the palace and go back to the mansion directly after I see the Queen Mother, you don’t have to follow, are you afraid that I will be lost in the Forbidden City?”

"Fu Jin, Concubine Hui asked you to go back, you see this road is also..."

"I have already sent people to Ningshou Palace to report. Could it be possible to deceive the emperor's grandmother? What's wrong with this road, can I take a detour if I do more activities?" Da Fujin stared at her eyes, sticking out her high bulging belly, leaning on her stomach Jingui, the emperor's grandson, knew that these slaves dared not touch her. She felt disgusted when she saw the people in Changchun Palace.

She dragged her people along and walked forward, no matter how far she had to go, in short, it was right to go to Ningshou Palace, and she would leave after seeing the Queen Mother, wishing that the next time she entered the palace, she would come to attend the funeral for Concubine Hui.

The young Fujin would never forget the humiliation she suffered in the Changchun Palace during those two days. She was innocent, a newlywed woman who stripped off her clothes and was tortured by those old wives. Biting my tongue, I couldn't live at all at that moment.

Now as long as Changchun Palace is mentioned and Concubine Hui is mentioned, she will feel disgusted and tremble all over. Before she became pregnant, every time she performed Zhou Gong's ceremony with Yinti, it was as if she had died once, but God blessed her and allowed her to conceive a child.

The scene where Da Fujin scolded the servants of Changchun Palace just now was caught by Luzhu.After she left with her master before, she found that one of her earrings was missing. She walked back along the road to look for it, but she heard the conversation between Da Fujin and the palace maid of Yonghe Palace, which made her feel sad. When she returned to Yonghe Palace, she learned everything from her master. listen.

Lan Qi sat in front of the mirror stand, the person in the mirror frowned, turned around and asked Lu Zhu: "Da Fujin is so good?"

Luzhu nodded again and again: "Your maidservant listened to the truth, the empress also thinks it's fresh, Da Fujin was not such a person before."

Everyone in the palace knew that Da Fujin was gentle and introverted, with a very quiet temperament. She would not speak in front of her elders unless she asked her a question. Unexpectedly, she could stand up and teach the maid a lesson.

After Luzhu went down, Huanchun removed the master's hair bun, and said softly: "Think about the two years when Da Fujin refused to enter the palace. I heard that the emperor was not happy, so he ordered the elder brother to lead Fujin into the palace. Show the empress dowager how much she hates our palace."

"That's right, if it's a child from another family, they will come here every now and then. Those from Prince Yu and Prince Gong's mansion still often come to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Dafujin is indeed different." Lan Qi untied her hair With a relaxed head, she rubbed her forehead and sighed, "The incident in the Changchun Palace would have made me go crazy. Concubine Hui is really worth the candle. Although she has a child, she has since broken the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. What's the future?"

Huan Chun said with a smile: "Master, you have such a good temper. In the future, our elder brothers' little Fujins will definitely like you."

But Lan Qi smiled and said: "Where are there lovely mother-in-laws in the world, not to mention whether they like me or not, as a mother-in-law, when I think that my sons will have a daughter-in-law in the future and won't get close to me, I feel strange." Strange, you said that this way has been passed down from generation to generation, can it be better?"

The master and servant were joking, and someone outside reported that the emperor was coming from the Qianqing Palace. At this time, Lan Qi was worried about what happened to Xuan Ye, and when she saw Sheng Jia at Yonghe Gate, Xuan Ye was really serious With a straight face, he entered the door and only said: "I am very tired, let me rest here for a while." Without any explanation, he lay down on the beauty's couch.

Although it is July, there is still some lingering prestige of the hot summer. Seeing a layer of sweat on Xuan Ye's forehead, Lan Qi wiped it gently with a handkerchief, and then untied the sleeves at the neckline and wiped it around her neck before turning around. , I heard Xuan Ye seeming to say to himself: "Under the world, if there is peace one day, I will be satisfied."

Lan Qi was silent, she couldn't imagine how heavy the burden was on the emperor's shoulders, only knowing that Xuan Ye was only happy for a few days after solving a certain matter at hand, there must be another matter that made him frown, Doesn't stop, it seems that if he stops, the day will collapse.

"I'll take a rest for a while, and you can go too." Xuan Ye snorted lightly, with his arms pressed against his forehead, and he remained silent.

Lan Qi withdrew and saw Eunuch Liang standing outside sweating profusely, so she asked Xiangyue to pour tea and asked, "What about the court?"

Eunuch Liang nodded with a wry smile, not daring to talk nonsense.

It is not convenient for Lan Qi to ask in detail. She knows what is bothering the court recently. The Junggar tribe is ambitious. If the court cannot suppress it, if things go on like this, there will be another big war after the San Francisco. War is the most costly thing. Can the emperor not be in a hurry?

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel that those trivial facts in the palace are insignificant, and there is no rush for Concubine Yi to hand over power for a while, but the palace can't let her waste money like this, and if the court really wants to prepare for war, it will cost money later. The money is countless, and the palace can't afford such extravagance, so she still has to help Sister Rong think of a way.

"Go and see the elder brothers and princesses, don't let them cry and disturb the emperor to sleep." Lan Qi ordered Huan Chun, and then came back alone to accompany Xuan Ye. The tired emperor had already fallen asleep, and she sat quietly by the side, knowing that This kind of time won't be too long, and sure enough, it was only half an hour before he woke up.

"Sleep a little longer? The concubine asked Eunuch Liang that there are no ministers here today, so the emperor can rest for a while." Lan Qi brought tea to wake him up.

Xuan Ye drank tea, relaxed a lot, but shook his head: "If they don't come, I will find them again, so I can't be free. Just now I was very upset, so I wanted to see you."

Lan Qi wanted him to relax, so she asked with a smile: "What is there to see, the emperor is so annoying, why do you still come to coax the concubine?"

Xuan Ye stared at her intently, and said for a long while: "Seeing you and the children, I know that even if the world refuses to accept or understand me, it is worth the hard work to keep this country and let you live in peace."

Lan Qi was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't think of any jokes. Xuan Ye beckoned her to sit next to her, and the two leaned on her. , But I can’t do it, the only thing that can be like ordinary people is to tear these ambitions from the people of the country, just think about it, I just want to protect my wife, children and family.”

"The emperor is very hard." After holding back these five words for a long time, Lan Qi's eyes were red, but luckily she didn't want to cry, so she crawled behind Xuan Ye and stretched out her hand to squeeze his shoulder.

Xuan Ye seemed to relax a lot, and said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you, which was just decided today. After the anniversary ceremony of the emperor's grandmother at the end of the year, I plan to leave for Jiangnan in the first month."

"Leave in the first month?" Sure enough, everyone would be surprised to leave so early.

"The first month is spring, when the river melts into ice, it's time to inspect the river workers." Xuan Ye said, but he suddenly remembered something, turned around and patted Lan Qi's hand, "I know you don't want to listen to the government, I just said, Your reticence is not interference."

Lan Qi really didn't intend to be hypocritical today. When no one wanted to tell, she smiled calmly and pushed him away, and continued to rub his shoulders, only to hear Xuan Ye say: "After the incident with the river worker, let's go to the south of the Yangtze River again. Find out the farming economy over there, and calculate how much tax money I can recover in the past two years to enrich the treasury."

Lan Qi's heart skipped a beat, what did the emperor mean, is he really going to prepare for war?

"Concubine Rong is the assistant manager of the Sixth Palace. She has always increased income and cut expenditure. After Concubine Yi took over this year, I know she has wasted a lot of money. If you are in a hurry, I can't stand it." Xuan Ye shook his head, "I will let her give up as an assistant as soon as possible. Of course, you can't let her come to trouble you, I thought about it, and promised her to drive south with me in the first month as a sign of comfort."

Lan Qi listened and stopped her hands, Xuan Ye turned around with a smile on her face, "Why, you're not happy about this? Are you unhappy about letting her go south with me?"

"I'm not happy." Lan Qi nodded without hesitation, pursed her lips and said, "The concubine can figure it out on her own, the emperor doesn't bother to think about it here."

Xuan Ye seemed to feel that he had finally overwhelmed Lan Qi in this matter, and said quite proudly: "When you pushed me to Yikun Palace, you were so generous, and now you are showing your true nature? Is it your fault? gone?"
