Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Seeing her son's face full of childishness, when they came in like a golden boy and a jade girl, Lan Qi felt in a daze that she had a daughter-in-law, and the next time she spoke, she looked like a child again.

"Go and sit in the ten 34 room for a while, I'll come after I coax Wen Xian." Lan Qi smiled slightly, pushed her son to the door, regardless of whether he agreed or not, she came back first to deal with the crying little devil, Wen Xian has a temper that needs to be coaxed, not to mention being burned at the moment, it is even more reasonable to cry, so far it seems that only Xuan Ye can restrain her, and Lan Qi is often helpless.

Compared with the noise at my sister's place, my brother's room was very quiet. When I entered the door, I saw the two little brothers lying on the kang table. The thirteenth brother ate a meal by himself, and then fed the younger brother. The two brothers are one year apart. There are many, but Fourteen is very strong, and he is about to catch up with the little brother.

"It's brother." Yinxiang saw the fourth elder brother coming, put down the spoon in his hand happily, climbed to the edge of the kang and stretched out his hand to ask the fourth brother to hug him. "It's my brother" and called Yinzhen, she has a very clingy temperament, Nian Lanqi is clingy to her nurse, she wants to hug her older brothers and sisters, and she is even happier when she sees the fourth elder brother.

The little guy's chubby face was still stained with rice grains, Yinzhen took it off for him, and the nurse next to him handed him a veil, and he carefully wiped it off for his younger brother, but when he looked up at Shisi again, the child crawled to the table by himself, Picking up the spoon that the little brother put down, he started to pick up the rice by himself. The nurse said: "The thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother are upside down day and night, and I went to bed late again today, so I only eat now. The fourteenth brother refuses to eat For my own food, I must eat Brother Thirteen."

In fact, it’s just a bowl of white rice, they are easy to deal with, and they eat the white rice with relish. Brother Thirteen saw his younger brother scooping the rice everywhere with his spoon, and he just smiled cheerfully and didn’t get angry at all. For Xiao Chener to move Wen Xian's things, my sister has already slapped her in the face.

"Are you full? Go eat with my brother." Yinzhen put Yinxiang down, patted him and asked him to sit back. Yinxiang hugged his brother and refused to let go. He could only sit back with his brother, but Yinzhen was I was so happy, I saw the rice scattered all over the table, and my eyes narrowed with a smile, probably because I was full and didn't care about food, I just wanted to play.

"It's a waste of food. Your thirteenth brother hasn't eaten yet." Yinzhen said solemnly, and the fourteenth brother looked at him in confusion. Children under two years old can understand simple words, but most of them can't understand, but They have the same nature, that is, they can read the face, know whether the adult's face is happy or angry, and know how to deal with it.

Then I saw the fourteenth elder brother scooping up a spoonful of rice, but the rice was spilled all the way along his hand, and when it was handed to the elder brother, almost all of it was spilled, leaving only a few scattered grains of rice on the spoon, and he babbled. sound, as if saying "eat".

The nurse didn't seem very happy to see the fourth elder brother, so she came over and cleaned up the spilled rice, and said: "The fourteenth elder brother is treating you to eat, the fourteenth elder brother is not willing to share the food with others, it is fresh today gone."

But I saw the thirteenth elder brother approaching and ate the rice held by the younger brother in one bite. Obviously, the person who ate it was wrong. The fourteenth elder brother was stunned, retracted his hand and took a spoonful, but in fact he didn't know how to use a spoon. , That is to say, watching my brother make me learn indiscriminately, the spoon is still grasped with the backhand, and another spoonful of rice is thrown out.

The little guy was anxious, lost his temper and threw away the spoon in his hand, brother Thirteen was startled, and Jiao Didi said to his brother: "My brother is in a hurry again."

Yinzhen shook his head, picked up the spoon, put the thirteenth brother down, and fed him with his own hands. Yinxiang was very obedient and ate deliciously. Now the fourteenth brother who was being coaxed by the wet nurse was greedy again, and came over to eat together , Yinzhen pointed to the side and said: "Sit down."

The nurse put the little elder brother down, and Yinzhen crawled to lean on the younger brother, always secretly glanced at the older brother, and then watched the younger brother eat, he whimpered and wanted, Yinzhen pointed again. where it said, "Sit down."

The wet nurses and the others looked at it with smiles. It was the first time I saw someone making rules for Brother Fourteen. Yinzhen fed him a small spoon, and he chewed vigorously and exaggeratedly, showing off to Yinxiang with a smile, with a satisfied expression on his face.

When Lan Qi tidied up Wen Xian and came over to talk to the fourth elder brother, she heard endless laughter inside, while Yinzhen said in a helpless tone, saying this or that, and when Huan Chun went in, looked out, and laughed He said: "The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are lying on the fourth elder brother and making trouble, and they are very happy to chew and bite."

"Let them play, the two little ones slept for a long time, tired from making a fuss, so I went to bed early." Lan Qi didn't care, so she went back to her room, just now she was wiped by Wen Xian with tears all over her body, her clothes He was also wrinkled, thinking about talking to his son for a while, so he washed and changed.

As soon as she cleaned herself up, Yinzhen came, but saw that her son was also messed up by his younger brother, with rice grains on his collar, standing there awkwardly, Huanchun smiled and said, "Fourth elder brother, wait a minute, slave girl!" You get your clean clothes."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Bring two cloaks, I will send Yinzhen back to Chengqian Palace, where I can change his clothes and let him go to bed earlier."

The fourth elder brother didn't resist, and after being wrapped tightly by Huanchun, he went out with Er Niang. Lan Qi was wearing a big cloak, and it was inconvenient for her to go down the steps. Yin Zhen took the initiative to help her and said, "Be careful, Er Niang."

Lan Qi's heart was warm and sweet, she took her son's hand along, the mother and son walked slowly one after the other, with five or six court ladies and eunuchs accompanying them behind the lantern leading the way, but the mother and son seemed to be in a different realm. She couldn't get in, and when she was approaching the gate of Chengqian Palace, Lan Qi finally said, "I thought, you don't want to talk to Er Niang anymore, and if you don't come to Yonghe Palace for more than half a month, I thought to myself, did I do something wrong?" What made you angry."

Yinzhen rushed to catch up, stood beside his mother and said, "It's nothing."

"Really?" Lan Qi smiled softly, like her son acting like a baby, "Er Niang feels at ease when she sees you, your younger brothers and sisters are torturers, and I am exhausted by them every day. Having such a sensible eldest son as the fourth elder brother makes me feel at ease, but my eldest son ignores me, and he is afraid of being a joke when he speaks out, and there is no one who can comfort him."

Yin Zhen blushed anxiously, and kept saying, "Er Niang is talking nonsense, it's nothing."

The mother and son entered the gate of Chengqian Palace, Qinglian was very surprised to see the concubine De concubine coming together, and when she heard that she was going to wash and change clothes for the fourth elder brother, she went to get hot water. , Waiting for Xiaohezi and the others to take care of her before coming in, just as she saw her mother spreading the quilt for her.

"Go to bed earlier, today you and Yuxi have read books for a long time, don't study your homework anymore, you still have a lifetime of books to read, it's okay if your eyes are burnt out." Lan Qi came over and pulled her son up, and pushed him onto the bed , but the fourth elder brother stood, lowered his head and said, "Er Niang, I was wrong."

"Okay, what's the matter?" Lan Qi smiled, but couldn't hide the uneasiness in her heart.

Yinzhen pulled Erniang to sit down together, slowly talked about the things in the study, and unconsciously leaned on his mother. Lan Qi was afraid that he would be cold in pajamas, so she wrapped her in a quilt. She poked her head out of the quilt and asked her: "Why did they do this? Their mother-in-law also said such things to them, didn't she? Could it be that the prince's food was poisonous because some of our brothers couldn't tolerate him? But we Brother."

"When you read a lot and know the history of the past thousands of years, you will understand what kind of existence the emperor's son really is. Er Niang didn't read much. I'm afraid it will delay you if she doesn't explain well. I want you to take it slowly. Go and understand. Erniang is so stupid to understand, and you will understand sooner or later."

Lan Qi thought that Yinzhen, who was wrapped in a quilt and exposed his head, was very cute, but she tried to be serious and said: "Knowledge and talent are not used to show off, but wisdom to be used in serious affairs. It's not wrong to be competitive, but when you lose to you In the eyes of the people, you are wrong. The loser will not understand how much effort and effort the winner has put in for this. They will only feel that they are unlucky, and they will only think that God is unfair. Yes. You said you are brothers, why did you do this? Have you ever thought about it? Does Huang Ama not understand? Then why did he let you compete?"

Yinzhen didn't understand, she frowned and shook her head, Lan Qi said with a helpless smile: "A lot of things are said too bluntly by Er Niang, can you accept it?"

"Anyway, I can't accept it, and you are here." The fourth elder brother said without hesitation, "Emiang told me, I want to hear it."

Lan Qi's heart sank, her smile faded, and she said seriously: "No matter how good you are, you can't surpass the crown prince. He is the prince and the future emperor. You are brothers now, and you will be monarchs and ministers in the future. The king will guide the ministers. From now on You have to be inferior to him in everything, no matter how hard you work, no matter how good and capable you are, you must restrain your brilliance, never let people think that the fourth elder brother is better than the prince, and never let people mention you when the prince is mentioned. Count."

Yinzhen's expression froze, and after a long time he suddenly said: "Before she died, Queen Mother asked me if I wanted to be an emperor..."

Before the second half of the word was spoken, the fourth elder brother was covered by his mother. Lan Qi told him seriously: "It's good to keep this in your heart. Er Niang didn't hear anything." She stopped and asked her son , "Your empress mother passed away, but she didn't cry, do you know why?"

Yinzhen shook his head, but Lan Qi held up her son's cheek for the first time, and kissed him lightly on the forehead, the little guy's face turned red suddenly, but she smiled leisurely: "The queen's mother is gone, the forehead is gone!" Mother will protect you stronger in the future. At that time, you were so sad that you forgot all the rules and etiquette. If Er Niang cries again, who will support you? Er Niang is not smart and has no great ability, but my children need When I am, I will always be by your side.”
