Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Yinzhen lay down powerlessly, for some reason, he felt relieved when his sister made a fuss about it, Wen Xian's chattering noises outside continued, but soon Princess Rong Xian came back and took the little sister away, blaming: " It's getting more and more nonsense, brothers are studying."

Wen Xian yelled carelessly: "Fourth brother's butt hurts, it's hard to study."

The little eunuchs serving in the room covered their mouths and laughed, and the fourth elder brother said angrily: "Everyone go down, tell me to be alone."

This day and night, the word from Ningchuntang said that the prince's fever has subsided. After all, it is a child who has been carefully raised. The foundation is not bad. The queen mother was relieved. Come and live in the garden, you and Lan Qi persuade the emperor not to bring so many people here, the children are still confined to the palace to study hard."

The emperor came to Ningchun hall to see the crown prince in person the next day. The father and son closed the door and talked for a long time. The queen mother watched coldly. People are curious, I don't know how the father and son are.When she went to see how the prince was doing, the child was still as gentle and polite as before, and the grandparent and grandson couldn't get together in a few words, so the queen mother didn't want to bother to get close.

But this afternoon, an imperial decree was issued from the Qingxi Bookstore. From now on, the fourth elder brother will accompany the prince to study with him. Naturally, he does not live in the same place. He just goes to class together every day or learns calligraphy, painting, riding and shooting. Historically, most of the prince's companions are ministers of the imperial family. Brothers, brothers are at most a companion, not a companion in the true sense. Now the fourth elder brother has become the prince's companion, as if he has been downgraded by a level, but the emperor didn't explain the difference, and he didn't want to. What the fourth elder brother does for the prince is to study together.

The elder brothers couldn't understand this, so the third elder brother was bored, and when he came to Concubine Rong to say hello, he said: "I and the fourth brother are doing well, why did we suddenly break up, when will Er Niang ask Huang Ama why? "

Concubine Rong smiled wryly in her heart. It was her turn to ask the emperor why, so she could only persuade her son: "After the crown prince takes side Fujin in April, it will be your turn and the fourth elder brother. Sooner or later, we will have separate families. What is so strange about that?" Is it? Probably because your Huang Ama felt that the prince was too lonely to go alone, and the brothers didn't dare to get close, so they sent the fourth elder brother to be a companion. Aren't the two of them quite fun?"

The third brother refused to accept, "Could it be possible that Er Niang also believed that they went fishing that night?"

Concubine Rong only said: "You know what they do, so what's the point?"

Let's talk about what happened that night, from the garden to the palace, it is said that the crown prince and the fourth elder brother went fishing in the middle of the night for fun, and Yinzhen's emergency words, which were passed around, came true, and the emperor suddenly let the fourth elder brother Accompanying the prince to study, people outside think that it is because the prince gets along with the fourth elder brother among his brothers, so the fishing thing sounds like it is true. Although the prince is not young, he is still playful at the age of fifteen or sixteen. when.

When the news spread to the palace, Concubine Hui was surprised, but she was more concerned about another matter. Yanzhu had been missing for two days, she sent someone to ask Mingzhu, Mingzhu said that she had never summoned Yanzhu. Yanzhu seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and Concubine Hui felt very uneasy when she heard that Eunuch Liang had secretly returned to the palace.

That night, Concubine Hui, who hadn't slept well for two days, finally fell asleep because of exhaustion, and was awakened from her dream by screams. There were so many people running around in a mess outside. The couch said: "Your Majesty is not well, Aunt Yanzhu is dead."

"Dead?" Concubine Hui woke up completely at this moment, she hurriedly wrapped herself in a cotton-padded coat and a long cloak, supported the maid, and hurried out. The maid at the side pulled and said, "Your Majesty, just stay here and watch, you can't get any closer, Aunt Yanzhu is covered in wounds all over, she's frightening to death."

"Wounds all over?" Concubine Hui was astonished, turning everything that might have happened in her mind, she seemed to understand why Eunuch Liang returned to the palace secretly.

A courageous little eunuch ran over and told the master, "Someone knocked on the door just now, and the servant thought it was something. When he opened the door but there was no one, he threw a big sack on the ground. When he opened it, he saw Aunt Yanzhu. The servant was frightened." The soul is gone. If you look closely, the person has been strangled to death long ago, and there are wounds on his body that look like whips, and his clothes are rotten, but those wounds are not rotten, and they look like they have been frozen."

Concubine Hui's stomach turned upside down, she bent down and vomited all the medicine she took before going to bed, and everyone rushed to carry her back. After she regained her composure, she ordered: "Do whatever you want, report to the respect room , saying that Yanzhu suddenly fell ill and died suddenly."

The maids and eunuchs below didn't have any idea, so they did what the master said and disposed of Yanzhu's body overnight.The grand lady who used to be domineering in the Changchun Palace died so inexplicably. Many people in the Changchun Palace belonged to Baoyun, and now they all uttered a bad breath, and those who used to bully others with Yanzhu, Then he was worried that Baoyun would come back to be the maid in charge in the future, so the things they made worse before would be enough to settle accounts.

For this reason, the maids and eunuchs were not in the mood to do business, and Concubine Hui fell ill due to fright and had no energy to restrain herself. There was a moment of panic, and Changchun Palace was very restless.Many concubines who stayed in the palace did not know why the Changchun Palace suddenly became lifeless overnight.

Eldest brother heard that his mother fell ill, so he went to the palace to visit. When he asked about the reason, Concubine Hui was worried that the trust established between her son and the emperor would be destroyed. The relationship between father and son, although in the future if they get to the step of fighting for the big position, sooner or later the father and son will turn against each other, but it is definitely not now.

But the elder brother is not a child anymore, he will also try to find out about things inside and outside the palace, knowing that Yanzhu died inexplicably, he has a plan in his heart, when he goes home and talks to his wife, Fujin reminds him: "Let me see , you are on business for the emperor, so you should listen to the emperor. The affairs of the Changchun Palace are the affairs of the harem. You should not interfere after you leave the palace. Erniang has been in the palace for more than [-] years. She can do it herself. Think about it. If you insist on messing with the harem, what can we do for you?"

The elder brother knows that his wife will not turn to his mother in public or private, but what he said is indeed reasonable. Right now, he wants to go to the battlefield and see the wider world outside, so he must not follow his mother to mess with the affairs in the palace. He listened to his wife's words, didn't mention a word in front of the emperor, and still ran his errands peacefully.

And the news that a big palace lady died in the Changchun Palace also spread to the garden after three or four days. Baoyun followed the eighth elder brother to the Changchun garden, and lived with him, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother in Guandexuan. The depression of the Changchun Palace, Baoyun has a smile on his face every day these days, but today he is doing needlework, and the little maids in the Changchun Garden heard that the eldest lady of the Changchun Palace died, and they all came to ask Baoyun what happened. Baoyun still couldn't believe it, and after asking someone else, he found out that it was true.

In the evening, the elder brothers finished their classes, and the brothers went to the Ningchun Hall to pay their respects to the queen mother, and came back after having some snacks. As soon as the eighth elder brother came in, he ran to find Baoyun, pulled her and said softly: "I heard it from the emperor's grandmother." , Yanzhu is dead."

Baoyun changed his clothes, nodded and said: "This servant only heard about it today. It is said that she died of a sudden illness, which is really scary. But if you die, you will die. Don't think too much about it."

Yinhu said seriously: "I want to tell the emperor's grandmother that I will let you be the maid in charge of the Changchun Palace again. If the emperor's grandmother agrees, it will be done. Otherwise, Yanzhu will die, and someone else will be fine. to bully you."

Bao Yun felt warm in her heart, but she knew better that this was impossible, so she tried to persuade her: "Your servant will not be bullied if you follow the eighth elder brother, so you can rest assured. But the maid in charge can't do it, so you and I Concubine Hui will be embarrassed, you should listen to your servant and be a mother and child with your empress."

At this time, I heard Brother Nine yelling in front of the door, and then I saw someone running in. The little guy was full of disbelief, and when he saw Brother Eight, he said: "My Brother and I will go to my mother's place for dinner, please The brothers went together, but the fifth brother refused to go, he was too much."

Baoyun gave the eighth elder brother a wink, Yinhu understood, and replied: "I'll come as soon as I change my clothes. Fifth brother ate too much snacks at Ningchuntang just now, and he probably choked. Don't blame him."

Ninth elder brother chattered endlessly, saying that his fifth elder brother was not filial at all. He was a child so he couldn't imagine the embarrassment in the relationship between adults, but Baoyun had to privately tell eighth elder brother: "The people in the palace don't care about fifth elder brother, Concubine Yi The empress doesn't dare to say it, it's because of the empress dowager's feelings, you just listen to Brother Jiu and don't interrupt."

The eighth elder brother is wise and kind, and understands the coldness and warmth of human relationships best. In his opinion, the fifth elder brother's ruthlessness towards Yifei is the same as his own mother's ruthlessness towards him. No one can change things that cannot be overcome.

This night, the elder brothers all ate in Yifei's room. It was because Guo Luoluo's family in Shengjing brought seasonal fresh food to the empress, and the distribution was uneven, and they kept too much for themselves, so they Under Tao Hong's suggestion, the children were invited to get together, the elder brothers and princesses all invited, only the fifth elder brother did not come, so Yifei's face was naturally not good-looking.But the surprise is that the emperor came halfway through, and smiled and said that he was also greedy to try something new, which made Concubine Yi overjoyed, and she didn't even care about her son's "disobedience".

This place is bustling and bustling, and the garden is quieter. Lan Qi took medicine at night and walked slowly in the house holding Huan Chun's hand. Since Xuan Ye picked her up, she got up and walked every day. , but most of the time I still lie down and recuperate according to the doctor's advice. Now I am tired after walking two laps. I sat down and panted and said: "Lie down like this, the vitality will be exhausted. After a few days, I will get up and walk at least three or four times a day. Just come back."

While talking, the maid outside the door came to report, saying that Concubine Yi had broken up, and the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother were left by Concubine Yi because they fell asleep. Huanchun was unwilling to say: "It's just a meal, Why did you stay?"

The outside responded: "It's the meaning of the Lord Long Live, the emperor is also with the concubine Yi tonight."

Lan Qi can't be so stingy, just wanted to let Huan Chun forget it, but someone said outside: "Si elder brother, why are you here so late?"
