Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi learned from the weeping Tong Pin that Xuan Ye's uncle, her uncle Tong Guogang, had died in battle, probably because she was afraid of shaking the morale of the army and did not announce it. Lan Qi never mentioned this matter in the way she learned the news from the front every day. , I was shocked when I heard that at this moment, and I didn't slow down for a while.

Tong Guogang was a mighty general of the Qing army. He made countless military exploits throughout his life, and set a brilliant record for the emperor's grandfather's family, which is enough to disdain other noble families.

But Concubine Tong told Lan Qi that her father, Tong Guowei, wanted her to deal with nobleman Ping. The concubine is only one step away, she can't let Ping nobles come from behind and surpass her, both of them are of similar backgrounds, and the emperor's favor for Tong Concubine has always been mediocre, and Tong Concubine herself has no intention of favoring the Sacred Heart, since she can't be there If the emperor wanted to move his mind, he could only restrain little Hesheli.

"Then why, you only started to deal with her these few days?" Lan Qi was puzzled.

"She is pregnant. Ama said that adultery is the easiest and most damaging thing to do. He is pregnant, and some things are even more unclear. I want to get her to stop doing it in the house first. It's dirty, wait for Ama to come back and make follow-up plans." Tong Bin lowered her head and said with a sob, "And she still came to bully me, if I continue to be weak, she will definitely get worse."

Lan Qi said softly: "According to what you said, do you want to dispose of the child in Mrs. Ping's stomach?"

Tong Pin raised her head with tears in her eyes, her white teeth bit her red lips and trembled slightly, she let go of her teeth and cried, "Ma'am, the news from Ama said that my uncle was killed by Suo'etu, and their family killed him." It's my uncle."

Lan Qi's heart trembled, the hatred in Tong Bin's eyes made her terrified, she stretched out her hand to hold Tong Bin in her arms, and when she calmed down, she persuaded: "My dear sister, if you treat me as a sister, can you listen to me?" Say something?"

Tong Pin nodded silently, Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "You are not a person who can do these things, this road is not suitable for you to walk, maybe you can go on, but this road is destined to be forever, doomed not There will be good results. Controlling evil with evil is not a long-term solution. What's more, the evil you force will only bite your own heart in the end. One day, Pinggui and the others are not doing well, and you will collapse first. Good sister, let it go, don't be manipulated by the family, that's something you can't do, and it's something the emperor doesn't want to see."

Lan Qi gently pushed Tong Concubine away, wiped away the tears on her face, and said solemnly: "Unless the emperor asked you to do it, if not, don't let yourself take such a twisted path, the life of the harem is doomed I can't be peaceful, but it's not difficult to find a clean world for myself. Sister, although the empress has never entrusted me, I treat you differently from others. I will take good care of you. Let's not go astray. We are here Walk on the right path for a long time, okay?"

Concubine Tong cried convulsively, the pain of losing her sister has not dissipated from her body, and the emperor's feelings for her are not enough to make up for the pain. Although her sister has always been harsh to her and even not close to her, she knows that she is her sister Another kind of love for her can only be experienced by relatives and sisters. No matter what, her elder sister is her biggest support in the palace. At this moment, she broke down and cried loudly: "Mother, I don't want to do these things. I really don't want to..."

The person in her arms cried for a long time before she calmed down. Lan Qi summoned the imperial physician to prescribe tranquilizing medicine for her to take, and after taking care of her to fall asleep, it was already late at night when eunuchs and court ladies escorted her back to the Yonghe Palace brightly. , as soon as she entered the house, she was so tired that she didn't want to move, she leaned softly on the kang, and Huanchun brought hot water for her to wash, she also waved her hand and said: "I don't want to move, let me be quiet."

What Lan Qi was thinking was not the entanglement between women, but was thinking that the Tong family still supported the fourth elder brother, and Yinzhen would occasionally come to tell him what the grandparents said, regardless of whether they would stay together forever or not. Supporting the fourth elder brother, the Tong family is the emperor's ancestral family after all, and is the biggest relative of the court at present, but if the crown prince ascends the throne one day, the Hesheli family will become the new most powerful relatives, and the benefits brought by the replacement , beyond Lan Qi's imagination.

And at that time, under the instigation of his relatives, the new emperor will definitely not be able to tolerate the formerly glorious Tong Jia clan. What awaits them is that the building will collapse. Now that Tong Guogang has died in battle, one of the pillars has collapsed.

Lan Qi raised her brows uncontrollably, which made her very uncomfortable. She clearly said those righteous words to Concubine Tong, but there were many distracting thoughts in her heart that could not be cleared up, and she stayed quietly like this for two whole days. Two hours later, after midnight, the candles in the room were extinguished one by one, and the people outside didn't seem to dare to bother to light the candles again, the room was getting darker and darker, but Lan Qi's heart was brightened.

She knew that she was worried about the future of the fourth elder brother, and what disturbed her most this time was the words hinted by the Queen Mother, those words that Concubine Hui said clearly in the Concubine Rong Buddhist Hall.She kept in mind what the Empress Dowager said repeatedly in the past. Even if Xuan Ye returned triumphantly this time, the crown prince and elder brothers were all safe and sound, but ten or twenty years later, it is inevitable that brothers will fight against each other. One day, She will face the saddest thing of the royal family, and her son will definitely be involved in the storm.

But all of this is not the way she persuaded Tong Bin to give up today. She can stop her and guide her sons not to go astray. In the depths of her heart, she also had a thought that she couldn't tell anyone.

Naturally, there was a person who talked about everything early on. In the eyes of Empress Xiaoyi, their son would be the emperor in the future.

When Huan Chun came in, seeing the master clutching the door of her heart tightly, she worriedly asked her if she was not feeling well, but Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Let's talk about the future."

Huanchun couldn't understand the nonsensical words, but after that, the master's expression eased, and she finally felt relieved, and spent the night in peace. The next day, she and Empress Concubine Rong dealt with the matter in Pinggui's courtyard. It's tight, there are frightening news coming every day, the palace finally continues to be peaceful and peaceful, and no one dares to do it again.

But unexpectedly, at the end of July, the crown prince and the third elder brother returned to Beijing suddenly. It is a good thing for them to retreat unscathed, but with the return of the crown prince, some unpleasant rumors also spread into the palace, and everyone in the palace was shocked. It was rumored that the emperor was furious for some reason, and after angrily reprimanding the prince, he drove him back to the capital.

Even Concubine Rong said to Lan Qi about this matter: "Yinzhi told me that the emperor and the prince did have conflicts, and the emperor sent someone to send them back the next day."

Lan Qi didn't care about these things, she kept asking everyone: "What about the emperor's illness? Is it all right?"

Concubine Rong, like others, shook her head and said: "Yinzhi said that he only saw the emperor once, and his complexion was very bad. There is no accurate explanation for what kind of illness it is."

Since the crown prince returned to Beijing, he has been shutting himself out in Yuqing Palace, and even the fourth elder brother was not allowed to accompany him to read. He had no choice but to go back to the study and continue to be with his brothers, listening to what the third elder brother said from time to time, Occasionally, I would come back and tell Lan Qi.

In the blink of an eye, it is August, and the heat has long since dissipated. After a gloomy autumn rain in early August, when the rain cleared and the golden sun shone into the Forbidden City, an exciting piece of good news finally came to the court. Prince Yu called After winning the battle, Galdan was defeated and fled.

This day, the fourth elder brother came out of the study room, came back excitedly, and said imposingly and excitedly: "Emiang, do you know? After Ujumqin's defeat, Huang Ama urgently ordered Changning Huangshu to join forces with Huang Bo." He also ordered Prince Kang Jieshu to lead his troops into Guihua City from Sunid, cutting off Galdan's retreat. After Galdan went deep into Ulan Butong, he realized that the terrain where he was was not suitable for combat without cover At the foot of the Big Red Mountain, thousands of camels were bound and lying on the ground with boxes on their backs, wrapped in wet felt blankets, and placed in a long camel city. They shot arrows and guns in the middle of the boxes. , to prevent my army from attacking."

The fourth elder brother talked more and more vigorously, grabbed a bowl of tea and drank it down, and continued: "But we have artillery. Uncle Fuquan aimed at a section of Tuocheng with artillery guns and concentrated bombardment. The rumble of the artillery was loud and loud On the ground, the camel city was quickly opened up. Our infantry and cavalry rushed over together, and the emperor sent troops out of the mountain to flank Prince Kang, killing the rebels to pieces, and they fled away from the camp. Mother, just listening to Third Brother and the others makes my blood boil."

Lan Qi had known the news of the army's victory long ago, now that Yin Zhen said it so vividly, she couldn't help laughing at him: "What cannons are rumbling so loudly, you saw it, did you hear it?"

Yinzhen's face showed a naive look that only he could have when facing his mother. He sat down intimately beside her and said excitedly: "Er Niang, it's a pity that Galdan was not wiped out this time, so he ran away. Er Niang, you Wait, Huang Ama will definitely not let him go, next time I will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and bring back the thief's head to Huang Ama."

"Don't yell, fight, and kill. The world is peaceful. Er Niang doesn't understand. I just hope that you, Ama, and my sons are safe." Lan Qi said softly, the joy in her heart was beyond words. Jia was already on his way back to Beijing, and what she was looking forward to with all her heart was to see the emperor one day sooner.

Five days later, the emperor was the first to return in triumph. Prince Yu and Prince Gong were still staying in Ulan Butong. Shengjia entered the palace in the early morning, because he knew that the emperor would be outside the capital. Lan Qi and other news stayed up all night. City, entered the palace early in the morning.

At this moment, Huan Chun said: "Long live Lord must go to pay the queen mother a victory first, why not go to Ningshou Palace and wait, so that I can see the emperor sooner."

Unexpectedly, Huanchun's voice fell, and the little eunuch at the door rushed in to announce that the holy car was coming to the Yonghe Palace. Lan Qi ignored the haggard sleepless night, and immediately went out the door, but at first glance, she saw Xuan Ye, her husband's thin figure To her surprise, when she stepped forward to salute, Xuan Ye suddenly approached, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Lan Qi, I'm back."

"Your Majesty...Xuan Ye!"

But Lan Qi saw Xuan Ye rushing towards her, but it was not a hug, but Xuan Ye fell down towards her. Although she had lost a lot of weight, her tall body was not something she could bear, and the two of them fell down together. , she felt that Xuanye had lost consciousness, and the surroundings were also in a panic.
