Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Close the door, close the door quickly." Lan Qi heard Eunuch Liang yelling, and immediately the gate of Yonghe Palace slammed shut, and the royal chariot and accompanying people were blocked from the outside. Lan Qi came to help the emperor and herself, Lan Qi didn't care so much, just followed into the room, but everyone put the fainted emperor on the bed, and the imperial doctor surrounded the couch, she couldn't intervene at all.

"Ms. De Concubine." Eunuch Liang followed, and Lan Qi came back to her senses and asked nervously, "What's wrong with the Emperor?"

Eunuch Liang said: "Back to your mother, Ulan Butong is a hilly grassland, and the place where the battle is fought is mostly swamps with tall grass and dense forests. Most of the army's drinking water is the water accumulated in the swamps. On that day, the emperor went deep into the barracks to eat and live with the soldiers. contracted dysentery."

"Dysentery?" Lan Qi's heart was pounding. Dysentery can be big or small. Looking back at Xuan Ye who was weak and sleepy, her heart felt like a knife.

Seeing that Concubine De was nervous, Eunuch Liang blamed himself for not speaking clearly, and continued to explain: "Long Live Lord suffered from cold-damp dysentery, Madam, don't worry, the serious symptoms have passed, and now he is just weak and unhealed. Lord Long Live came back with strong support all the way."

Lan Qi didn't ask Xuan Ye why he was hesitant, but murmured: "You are not an imperial physician, how can I trust you?"

But soon, the group of imperial physicians surrounding the emperor retreated and told the concubine De, that the emperor had just passed out due to exhaustion, his pulse was stable, and his dysentery had eased, please rest assured Lan Qi.

"Don't be careless, die at any time." Lan Qi was worried, and while instructing the imperial physicians, she asked Huanchun to replace the clean clothes that the emperor usually left in Yonghe Palace, screened away the idlers, and scrubbed the bodies of the sleeping people with her own hands , and disliked lying down after putting on the outer clothes just now, and simply changed inside and out.

Then ordered all the utensils in the Yonghe Palace to be boiled twice a day in the future, ten 34 brother and the little princess must eat and drink carefully, and stay in their own rooms and are not allowed to go out. Naturally, the Yonghe Palace will also close its doors to thank guests No one is allowed to enter.

It was already noon when everything was in order and the palace regained its orderly appearance.Lan Qi didn't sleep last night, and she was busy working for a while, she also felt that she couldn't take it anymore, she didn't even have the appetite for lunch, so she sat by the couch to accompany Xuan Ye after knowing that the children were safe.She stretched out her hand to gently touch his thinner cheeks, talking to herself as if she was talking to Xuan Ye, and fell asleep on his body without knowing it.

When she woke up again, she felt a cold hand touching her cheek. Lan Qi was startled from the dream. When she woke up, she didn't know where she was, and she couldn't remember what happened. Her lips curved into an intimate and familiar smile, her tears welled up in an instant, and all her memories came to life in the morning, and she remembered everything Eunuch Liang said, and her heart ached so much that it was about to break.

But Xuan Ye said in a hoarse voice: "Fool, why are you crying? Didn't I come back?"

"Come back like this, I'm scared to death." Lan Qi choked up, clutching Xuan Ye's cold hand, when had his hand been so cold, the heat from the strong man's body seemed to be still shivering in fear of the cold, she couldn't help but Wanting to warm him with himself, hugging his body as much as possible, the person who has not shed tears no matter what news he faces for more than a month, couldn't stop the tears for a while, and it took him a long time to calm down, and then he sobbed and said, "I thought the emperor would wear armor, sit on a tall horse, and return with might and domineering glory."

Xuan Ye laughed weakly, groping for Lan Qi's cheek with his hands, holding her smooth skin in the palm of his hand, this was a touch that could make him peaceful, as if he was so tired that he wanted to fall asleep again, he closed it slowly and comfortably. Eyes, murmured in the mouth: "I can come back, I can walk into the door of your Yonghe Palace, you are not satisfied? You don't care how I came back, the important thing is, if you asked you to wait for me to come back, did you do it?" ?”

"Yes." Lan Qi agreed, wiped away her tears, raised her eyes to see Xuan Ye was going to sleep again, covered him with a quilt, gently kneaded his arms to let him relax, changed her crying just now, and said softly , "I'm home, don't be afraid, you can rest at ease, and I will be able to raise you up again in a few days."

Xuan Ye hadn't fallen asleep yet, and with a happy smile on his face, he said softly, "Are you raising a son?"

After that, Lan Qi took care of Xuan Ye in a dazed way, almost lying on the same bed with him, feeding him the medicine and coaxing him with the food. The gate of the Yonghe Palace was closed tightly and no outsiders were seen. For two full days, the emperor's health improved a lot. Great improvement, but the women outside and the court ministers couldn't hold back anymore.The emperor was stuck in the Yonghe Palace for two days after returning to Luan, and gradually rumors spread. After all, everyone knew that the emperor had returned from a serious illness, and now even the crown prince could not see the emperor.

But the emperor still stayed in the Yonghe Palace, and it was not until five days later that he summoned several ministers to speak directly in the Yonghe Palace. The crown prince also met his father in the Yonghe Palace. As for the concubines, there was no one else except Concubine Rong and Concubine Tong See Sheng Jia.

And the first thing the emperor summoned the ministers was to bury his uncle Tong Guogang in the capital, and ordered the princes to greet him in person at that time, and told him the details of the funeral one by one.The treatment of the emperor's uncle, who is also a hero of the same generation, is so different from that of Prince An, the clan prince. The disparity is too great, but this is the emperor's will, and no one dares to talk about right and wrong.

But now the emperor has returned from victory, and his body is gradually recovering. The emperor's aura is only gathering, and he is more intimidating than before.

Raised in the Yonghe Palace, everything is at ease, Lan Qi takes care of people the most considerate and gentle, who does not yearn for a comfortable and comfortable life, if not for the people of the country and the mountains, Xuan Ye would not leave here, and experience a life and death, experience During a pitched battle, he took advantage of this time to stop and think about many things quietly.

It's just that it's the hardest work to serve the patients, and Lan Qi's complexion is gradually getting worse. Xuan Ye can see it, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he can walk around on the ground and regain his vitality. , don't get sick."

Lan Qi smiled leisurely and said: "After the emperor returns to the Qianqing Palace, it would be good to give the concubine a few days of peace and let the concubine sleep day and night for a few days." Rubbing his face, "Raising a son is not so tiring, he is the hardest person in the world to take care of."

Xuan Ye smiled: "Is it disgusting?"

"I don't like it, I'll serve you for the rest of my life." Lan Qi stood on tiptoe, pecked Xuan Ye's face, and said softly, "The concubine has nothing else to do but will take care of others. When does the emperor get tired? Sad, there are courtiers and concubines in Yonghe Palace, there are hot soup, rice and quilts, this is the home of you and your concubines."

Xuan Ye hugged her tightly and said: "I remember, when I fell on you, I heard you calling my name. After the emperor's grandmother passed away, no one called me Xuan Ye again. At that moment, I felt that I was really home. "

Thinking of the panic that day, and seeing the radiant emperor at the moment, Lan Qi thanked God for blessing her again, not letting her lose the most important person in her life, taking care of the weak and sleepy days, she really wished she had no home In the world, she is willing to give up all the glory and wealth, as long as God doesn't take away the most important person in her life.

At this moment, I was full of emotions, and the tip of my nose was sore for a while, but I tried my best to restrain it, and smiled slightly: "The emperor has returned to the Qianqing Palace, and everything should be taken lightly. Don't be disobedient, or the concubine will beg the queen mother three or four times a day. I came to ask you how you are, and it is not perfunctory or perfunctory to annoy you."

"Now even the Queen Mother is being coaxed around by you, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" Xuan Ye laughed, but before he continued, there was a voice from Huanchun outside the door, telling the two emperors and concubines that the prince came to pay his respects.

The prince came to pay his respects every day, including a few days ago when the Yonghe Palace was closed to thank guests. At that time, Lan Qi personally sent the prince away. Later, when the emperor saw him, the father and son would meet again every now and then, but not every day. When they met each other, Xuan Ye said at this moment: "I will go back to Qianqing Palace in the afternoon, let the prince wait for me in Qianqing Palace."

Lan Qi asked Huan Chun: "Is it time to take the medicine?" She followed to the door, but then said softly, "Talk to the prince carefully, and be more tactful."

Lan Qi reminded me of this every time, when she couldn't spare time to explain to the prince, every time she sent Huanchun or Luzhu, she would add this instruction, Xuan Ye occasionally heard it, and now she frowned and said: " Why do you have to be so polite to him, you are my concubine, one of the most noble women in Qing Dynasty."

Lan Qi heard the word "noble", and said with a smile: "You can close the door and wait for your man to bring tea and water until he is so tired that his feet don't touch the ground. How is this nobility calculated? Since I was a child, I thought that the so-called nobility , It should be someone who opened his mouth and stretched out his hand when he was eating, and looking at the situation these days, it can be seen that there is only one person here who is truly honorable."

Xuan Ye glanced at her, and blamed her with a strong smile: "Smart teeth."

Lan Qi sat aside and said softly: "The concubine has met the prince a few times, and feels that the prince is easier to get close to than before, but the prince returned to Beijing early, and there are many rumors inside and outside the palace. Contain it, but the emperor can't indulge the gossip in the court, how can he allow those ministers to be disrespectful to the prince?"

Xuan Ye looked at her quietly and said, Lan Qi said with a bluff on the face for a long time, and blamed herself: "The concubine made a mistake." Her heart was pounding, she was so busy these days that she forgot all the previous things, At that critical moment, Concubine Hui's words and the Queen Mother's hints are now recalled, and she felt that the reason why she said these words without thinking was because of her hidden guilt.

But the emperor didn't seem to know, or he didn't care, so he asked Lan Qi: "Do you know why the prince returned to Beijing early?"

Lan Qi looked at him timidly, Xuan Ye asked her to say boldly that there is no need to shy away from it, so she said: "The concubine also heard the story, I heard that you scolded the prince in the big tent."

"Did Yin Zhi say that too?" Xuan Ye asked, "He should have heard."

Seeing that the emperor knew everything in his heart, Lan Qi nodded slightly, although she didn't want to involve the third elder brother, but there was no point in lying any more.

Xuan Ye let out a long sigh: "I scolded Yinreng on purpose, if I wanted to give him an excuse to return to Beijing immediately, I had to scold him back."
