Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Just kidding, things have come to this point, Lan Qi really needs to cheer up and learn how to deal with the affairs of the Six Palaces. As for the group of delicate children under her knees, there are naturally a few cloth nobles to help her take care of them.As early as those days when Concubine Yi was in power, she had agreed with Elder Sister Bu that if the children could not be handed over to the nurse and maid, it would be better to send them to Elder Brother. .

Lady Bu and Concubine De were originally a master-servant relationship that should have been awkward when others saw it, but they were as close as sisters for more than ten years. Although Lady Bu had lost her favor a long time ago, because she was a sister who was close to Lan Qi, the emperor remembered that she recognized her. When she met, she would say a few words kindly and ask her daughter how she was. She was a thousand times better than other women who had no favor and even the emperor didn't know who she was.

But it was De Concubine's turn to have such a relationship with another one, but there was no such a good result. Zhang promised to go out from Yonghe Palace all the way to Yikun Palace. Even if the emperor likes it, in Yikun Palace and Concubine Yi support each other, they feel like ducks in water.

Now that Concubine Yi has unloaded the burden of assisting the Sixth Palace, her whole body is full of energy, because because of her physical violations, the emperor personally sent someone to inform Concubine Huang, urging her to find another person as soon as possible, saying that Concubine Yi could not withstand such a situation Hard work, and even after announcing the southern tour in the first month of next year, he revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he would take Concubine Yi with him.

A series of things made Concubine Yi happy all day long. She had nothing to do every day, so she discussed with Taohong what to bring along with her. She didn't follow her when she was near or far, but this time she finally felt proud.

But there is another thing in the Yonghe Palace that is different from the past, Zhang Xu has been lingering on the sick bed recently, Concubine Yi took care of Le by herself, and when she was concerned, she went to take a look and saw that Zhang Jia's face was sallow and emaciated.Immediately, Imperial Physician Xuan came to have a look, but he couldn't see anything wrong, so he prescribed a bunch of warming and tonic medicines, and after two or three days of feeding, it was considered a slight improvement, but after all, it was not as good as before.

"If she continues to be sick like this, she will become skinny and lose her previous appearance. The emperor will definitely not like her in the future." Concubine Yi and Taohong said in private, with a look of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, "If she no longer likes the emperor, I'd better kick her out as soon as possible." Let her go so that you don't become a burden in the future, if the emperor wants to see her when he comes occasionally, won't this kind of virtue scare the emperor away?"

Such words more or less spread to Zhang Ying's ears. She knew that she had to cheer up, and then she was diligent in taking medicine and eating. It was better than being young, and finally regained some of her former colors. But the emperor knew that Zhang Ying was ill, so he specially asked Eunuch Liang to come to greet him. , on the one hand promised Zhang a reward to appease her emotions in the illness, and on the other hand told Concubine Yi to take good care of her.

It was only then that Concubine Yi understood the emperor's love for Zhang Jiashi, regretted what she had said to Tao Hong before, and finally, for the emperor's sake, she was devoted to Zhang Jiashi and her daughter, Princess Wen Ke.

At the beginning of October, the Imperial Concubine did not summon the Six Palaces, and directly announced in the name of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor that Concubine De would assist Concubine Rong to take care of the Six Palaces for her from now on. The news spread in the palace, and there was no one there. Surprised, sooner or later these people are responsible for the above, and others are just joining in the fun.

But in the Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui's hope of coming back was completely shattered. She had calculated that Concubine Yi would last at least a year, and when her daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, she would be able to hold her head high again in the palace, but Concubine Yi was so Not promising, just give up so easily.Before Concubine Yi came to show her favor suddenly, she thought that Concubine Yi would attach herself to her again and help her easily. If Concubine Hui could hide behind her and spy on the affairs of the Six Palaces, that would be what Concubine Hui wanted to do more.

All wishes are shattered, Concubine Hui's anger is unspeakable, she is full of resentment against that stupid woman, does Concubine Yi really think that assisting the Six Palaces is a thankless job?Does she not care about the children's future at all?

But it's useless to say anything now, Concubine Yi herself didn't want to do it for a long time, and the emperor coaxed her around again. Today, Concubine Yi seems to have returned to the age of a girl Huaichun, happily all day long, only looking forward to courting with the emperor. Day and night.

And Xuanye has always been cautious, and will not immediately be indifferent to Yikun Palace after this matter is reached. Anyway, he has been using Yikun Palace to balance the favors of various palaces and disperse the light of Yonghe Palace for so many years. It is not a bad thing for him , In the days after that, he still cared for Concubine Yi a lot as before, thinking that even if he wanted to calm down, it would be better to wait for him to come back from Jiangnan.

On the sixth day of October, good news came from outside the palace that Da Fujin gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a healthy little princess.

Da Fujin failed to give birth to a little brother, there must be some disappointment inside and outside the palace, but the emperor has many heirs, and the prince has not yet married a wife. After all, it was the first granddaughter, Xuan Ye was very happy, and asked the imperial concubine to personally choose a nurse and send it to the elder brother's mansion to take care of the little granddaughter, and let Yinti wait for the child to wait for a hundred days, and bring it to the palace for him to see.

Resting in Yonghe Palace that day, I happened to see the gift prepared by Huan Chun for the master to have a look at. Xuan Ye asked where it was sent to. Lan Qi smiled and said: "Of course it is for the little granddaughter. The concubine is also a grandmother now." old people?"

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "In the royal family, there are grandchildren, but it is my grandson, the first one." He stared at Lan Qi and sighed, "Why don't you see the old man? I looked in the mirror yesterday and felt that I had changed a lot."

Lan Qi said that Huan Chun was still in front of her, and she blamed the emperor for being unscrupulous. After looking at a few gifts, she saw the exquisitely carved golden peanuts, and said: "After sending it, tell Da Fujin and the wet nurse, if Da Fujin keeps it, that's all." , if it is worn by the little princess, be careful not to ask the child to stuff it in his mouth."

But after thinking about it, I still don't feel at ease, so I asked Huanchun to change all these small things and give them big gold ornaments.

Xuan Ye praised her for being careful, but also joked: "The palace knows that you have always been stingy, but now that you spend so much money, are you afraid that people will say that you have filled your own pocket after being an assistant to the Sixth Middle School?"

"Being upright is not afraid of the shadow slanting, and the concubines are pure and innocent. Let alone the emperor's first granddaughter, she may not be so generous in the future." Lan Qi didn't care, knowing that Xuan Ye was joking. , and said, "Besides, Sister Rong told me that if a cook doesn't steal the grain, he won't get rich. We are just talkative, and we still rely on the bottom people to do things. As long as the work can be done, it's okay to let them rub some oil and water. We just need to calm down." Big ones, don’t be afraid of their recklessness. What should be considered is not to be sloppy, if you can turn a blind eye, just let them go, don’t lose the big because of small things.”

Xuan Ye reassured: "Concubine Rong is willing to teach you. She did it by herself, and no one taught her."

Lan Qi said triumphantly, "Ask Elder Sister Rong later, is my concubine a good apprentice? Elder Sister Rong always praises me, saying that I can teach a child."

Xuan Ye squinted at her, and smiled: "When I was learning to write, I hated such a stupid person so much."

Recalling the past, Lan Qi leaned against him and said: "The emperor sees beauty in the eyes of beholders, and thinks that the concubine has not changed at all. In fact, how can it be the same for so many years? In the past, you always disliked the concubine for being too thin. Before I knew it, my stature was completely different. Last night, on a whim, I flipped through the clothes I used to wear back then..." She pouted and shook her head, "I can't even wear any of them."

Xuanye was overjoyed, and leaned closer and whispered softly, "I don't think you're fat at all, you only feel comfortable when your body is soft."

The ambiguous words of the two made people blush, and Lan Qi didn't dare to make a fuss in broad daylight. Xuan Ye just came to have a rest, and recently he was often in Yikun Palace, and it was rare to see each other. There were still many serious things What to say, the House of Internal Affairs would occasionally come to someone, Xuan Ye watched coldly from the side, compared to seeing Concubine Yi's bewildered appearance in Yikun Palace before, it's really a world of difference.

When Xuanye was about to return to Qianqing Palace, the two walked out together, the emperor suddenly remembered something and said: "There are many people who are sick in the palace after winter, you should pay attention to the empress dowager and Aunt Su Ma, the imperial concubine is always like this, I will make her happy, so you don't have to worry about it. But..." He paused for a moment, then frowned slightly, "The chapter in Yikun Palace promised, I don't know what kind of illness he suffered from, but he was very ill a while ago."

Lan Qi knew about this, but she couldn't exert herself in Yikun Palace. At that time, she heard that Xuan Ye had gone to care, and she was very grateful. Now that the emperor asked her, she felt even more guilty. She lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine feels that this is not a long-term solution."

Xuan Ye sighed: "She is very smart, but she has a simple mind. I had doubts about her at first, but now I don't think so anymore. On the contrary, I am afraid that if something happens to her one day, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life."

"The concubine is afraid of this." Lan Qi nodded, and sighed softly, "The emperor will give the concubine some more time, and the concubine will think about this matter carefully."

With Dafujin giving birth to the little Princess, the palace is no longer as sad as it was at the beginning of the year because of this happy event, even if the anniversary of the Empress Dowager is approaching. Thinking about the emperor's thoughts, this year's New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are to be celebrated. It was as lively and extravagant as in previous years, but it would not be like last year, just come here in a mess.

Concubine Rong and Lan Qi naturally had to make preparations for all kinds of things, and because Concubine Yi had spent a lot of money in the past half a year, and at the end of the year, the public was a little bit embarrassed. Ask the imperial court to allocate money.

The snow fell early this year. In late October, the first snow fell in the palace. It seemed that the scorching heat heralded the cold winter. The snow accumulated thickly at the beginning of this year, and the Forbidden City was covered in white overnight. After autumn, it suddenly entered winter.

The happiest person in the snow is of course the children. This day, noble Jue Chan, Bu Gui, Dai Gui, and Wan Chang led Princess Elder Brother to play in the imperial garden. She looked like a bully in front of her, making her younger siblings like her and fear her at the same time. She was also here to play in the snow today, and the two little guys happily ran all over the place with their elder sister.

At this moment, the Buguis were watching the children play and told them not to fall. Xianghe came from nowhere and leaned over to Juechan and said, "Zhang promised to enter the garden."
