Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"It has nothing to do with me, but she has nothing to do with the emperor." Lan Qi shook her head, she put aside her timidity and said, "What if she is forced to death by Concubine Xi, or someday she can't think about suicide? Somebody go and say these things to the emperor, and give him a step down."

Huan Chun said, "Wang Changzai has been moving to Qixiang Palace for a while. During the few days you and Long Live Lord were in the garden, can you tell what's wrong with the Emperor?"

"There's nothing wrong." Lan Qi tried hard to recall, but she only remembered the tenderness in the garden. Xuan Ye was ill for a few days, and after recovering, she coaxed herself to visit various scenery, play and relax, there is no government and no harem trivial matters, just the two of them.

"He doesn't want me to know something." Lan Qi smiled wryly, "Or maybe he was new to Wang Shi for a while, but no matter how much he doesn't like her, he can't push her to a dead end. Back then, Sister Rong tried to persuade Xi Concubine not to Bullying Mrs. Wang, what's the result?"

Huanchun worried and persuaded: "I still hope that the master will think twice. If Long Live Lord doesn't want you to know about this matter, he naturally doesn't want you to intervene. Concubine Rong never meddles in other things, and has always been able to respect the emperor as a guest. You It should be more mindful."

Lan Qi shook her head: "Huanchun, you don't understand, it's not a good thing to treat each other like a guest, and I don't want to provoke the emperor's patience and affection, I am not just her woman, I am the concubine of virtue in this palace, the responsibility of concubines is not just It's to serve him. Don't worry, I will have a sense of proportion and will not provoke him rashly, and I am not stupid."

After all, Huan Chun was worried, but Lan Qi had her own ideas. On the one hand, people should keep an eye on Qixiang Palace, so as not to let Concubine Xi really drive Wang Changzai to death. Taking the initiative to discuss with Lan Qi, Concubine Rong came forward to persuade Concubine Xi, while Lan Qi made plans for the emperor. The two of them had to figure out what the emperor meant. If they really didn't care about Wang's life or death, they didn't have to worry about it. up.

From Huanchun's point of view, since the master said that he wanted to seek an explanation for Wang Changzai that day, he did not take any other actions except discussing some matters with the concubine Rong. He just dealt with the daily affairs of the palace or took care of him. The child might go to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects, but Concubine Rong even went to Qixiang Palace, but her master didn't seem to do anything.

This time, it was Huan Chun's turn to worry again. After holding it for a few days, she asked Lan Qi what she was thinking. He will come to trouble me, only he can question me, how can I have the right to ask him what's wrong. An Xin wait, sister Wang Chang Rong told Xi Concubine there, Xi Concubine should not be so stupid, If someone is killed in her Qixiang Palace, she will have nothing to eat."

Huan Chun laughed: "What if the emperor just sits around like this and never comes to ask you?"

Lan Qi said indifferently: "That's a waste of time, she's not my woman, I want to share his troubles for him, but I can't bet on myself, I understand very well."

Sure enough, she and Xuan Ye both thoroughly understood each other, not counting things like this, if they encountered any unpleasant things before and shouted at each other, it often depends on who can bear it, but most of them are Xuan Ye couldn't hold back at first. Although Lan Qi was eaten to death by him, he couldn't bear to do such exhausting things. Apart from the important military affairs that he couldn't talk about, he couldn't hide anything from her in his heart. Any unhappiness and grievances must be resolved immediately to be at ease.

So after the two hadn't seen each other for several days across the Yonghe Palace and the Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye finally couldn't help it.

On this day, the Qintian Supervisor calculated the date of the seal. It was a little later this year, and the seal was not until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Yue has been ill for a while, so she is doomed not to be idle for a few more days in the twelfth lunar month.

After the date was set, the eunuchs and maids informed the palaces respectively that the concubines hoped that the emperor would get closer to them, but for the few days this year, they all knew that there was no hope. Going to the Yonghe Palace, I don't know what to whisper to Concubine De.

Let's say that when Xuan Ye arrived at the Yonghe Palace, it was snowing heavily, but it was only the distance from the door to the inner hall, and he was already covered in snow. Standing in front of the door, Lan Qi took off the cloak for him and shook off his body. In the end, I still felt that it was inappropriate, so I pulled him into the room and changed into warm clothes. Xuan Ye was at her mercy, and couldn't help laughing: "You're raising me like a son more and more?"

Lan Qi scolded: "Isn't the emperor afraid of embarrassment for saying this? Don't talk about it in the future, and let people hear it as a joke."

"This is the talk in the house, who can hear it?" Xuan Ye disdainfully turned around and called Manager Liang, but seeing Eunuch Liang coming with a bag in his hands, Xuan Ye took it and threw it into Lan Qi's arms, and said casually, "New Year's Eve Use the New Year's money, don't hold back it."

Lan Qi untied the bag and looked, the bag was full of shining silver ingots, she took out a few silver ingots with bright eyes, looked and looked, secretly calculated and weighed the weight, reckoning that there was less to say in the bag 300 taels of silver is almost enough for her salary for a year.

"You asked Mr. Liang to ask me for 100 taels of silver before you were willing to say why Laba sent rewards to the palaces. Now I send twice the amount of silver. Would you please answer me a few more words?" Xuan Ye smiled. But his eyes gradually gathered a serious aura, and Lan Qi could detect the slightest change in his body, she settled down, and carefully pushed the money bag in front of Xuan Ye and said, "The emperor should take back the silver, such a reward, my minister A concubine would not dare to ask for it."

Xuan Ye asked sternly: "Then how should I coax you? Empress Defei?"

Lan Qi's heart trembled, and she peeked at him timidly. The two of them were sitting on the kang a little apart from each other. She clumsily walked around and crawled behind Xuan Ye, knelt behind him, pinched his shoulders with both hands, and gently kneaded him. He said, "Your Majesty, take a break."

Xuan Ye said: "In this world, there are not many people who can hold my shoulder like this behind my back."

Lan Qi immediately let go and sat down without touching him, Xuan Ye didn't move with his back turned, and said after a while: "Did you remember what I said to you? Sometimes I don't understand why I spoil you too much. Is it because you are too sensible and too sensible, do you understand?"

"The emperor also said it's too late. If Wang Changzai is forced to die, what will the emperor plan to do?" Finally, Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could relax, the person in front of her had already turned around and gave her a hand. Dragging her to her side, staring and scolding, "Did I say that you don't want you to care about their future and fate, what does their life have to do with you?"

Lan Qi's heart was throbbing, but the matter had come to this point, if she flinched, she would even look down on herself, so she simply said boldly: "Why does my concubine care about her fate and future, my concubine won't be sad when she dies, but my concubine will not be sad if she dies Now, the emperor should be worried, the concubine cares about your feelings, not her."

Xuan Ye stared at her, and said in a harsh tone: "But do you know what happened, and you just make up your own mind?"

Lan Qi shook her head: "I just don't know, that's why I'm more worried. If the emperor gives a clear message to my concubine right now, it doesn't matter if Wang is dead, and this concubine can let it go immediately. As for what happened, this concubine really doesn't care." .”

Xuan Ye said: "What if I don't say it?"

Lan Qi was taken aback, blinked her eyes and said: "Then, let's not talk about it, what else can I do?"

Xuan Ye frowned: "Is it true that I live too comfortably and always come to you to find pleasure, and I feel happy when I hear you talk back and refute a few words, and even contradict you presumptuously?"

But Lan Qi lowered her eyes and said: "If the emperor is really living a comfortable life, then the concubine is at ease. He clearly agreed to leave the harem to others to manage, but in the end, he tied his hands and feet and refused to do anything. The concubine It's not made of snow made of sugar, and I can't stand the storm. I have been with the empress dowager for more than ten years in vain. In the end, it's not that the emperor doesn't want to let his concubine get involved in these things. It's because you treat your concubine too much. The matter, I am afraid that the courtiers and concubines will be unhappy."

Xuan Ye seemed to have been stabbed in his mind, and he was speechless for a while, and when he spoke again, his momentum was a little weaker, and he said helplessly: "You know it well, so why can't you follow my heart, I just don't want you to get involved in those troublesome things .”

Lan Qi said sincerely: "The concubine also wants to live a carefree life with you in the garden, but it is rare to have it. The concubine must not forget what kind of life she is leading. Don't misunderstand me, the concubine is not self-righteous. , It's not that you have to intervene in anything, it's just that something happened, someone has to explain to you the reason to calm down, and give you a step down. But the advice is harsh, and the concubine racked her brains to make everything the most tactful, Look at this matter, if you don't mention it, the concubine won't talk too much."

Xuan Ye was so angry that he pinched her mouth with hatred and said, "You don't say anything, but you do those things that bother me. It always makes me worry about whether you will do something stupid next time. You clearly I know, if you go to inquire about Qixiang Palace, I will know about Wang Changzai if you go to inquire about it, you did it on purpose."

Lan Qi lowered her head and said softly: "It will still be like this next time. The emperor sees the concubine jumping up and down busy, so you can calmly think about the right and wrong in the matter, and you come here to throw a few words at the concubine. When you are calm, you can figure things out. The concubine really doesn't want to interfere with what you do, but just thinks, don't keep everything in your heart, and have a place to talk. Naturally, the concubines of the family and the country dare not do this Yes, but the trivial matters in the harem also have the responsibility of the concubines."

Xuan Ye was angry: "I am self-righteous."

Lan Qi nodded in response: "It's a little bit."

"Can you not talk back?"

The room fell silent immediately, Lan Qi pursed her lips and stopped talking, Xuan Ye stared at her inexplicably, it is undeniable that the two of them just had a thoughtless quarrel, and he felt much more at ease, not because he insisted on finding someone Quarreling, but it seems that this is the only place where you can let go of something like an emperor.

Xuan Ye opened his mouth again, then sighed: "I was worried that if I told you what happened, you would think that I took you to the garden alone to use you on purpose."
