Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Use?" Lan Qi thought about Xuan Ye's words carefully, and sure enough, Xi Concubine bullied Wang Changzai even more, even in those days when she went to the garden by herself. Perhaps in their view, the emperor's failure to think of those new lovers at critical moments meant that they had no respect for the emperor. Words are not important.Concubine Xi tried to bully the Wang family, but the emperor didn't respond, so she was naturally confident, and Wang Changzai became a lamb at the mercy of others.

Xuan Ye continued: "She and Cao Yin exchanged letters and papers, all of which were secrets about the palace that should not be told to outsiders, as well as my affairs. She was bold enough to exchange letters with her family. At first, I didn't care. I understood her homesickness. One day, I accidentally discovered that the words of the booklet that Cao Yin handed over were too kind, and I felt that he did not look like a person far away in the south of the Yangtze River, as if he was still staying in the forbidden palace all the time. I checked the guards and eunuchs around me, No one related to him was found, remembering that Mrs. Wang often exchanged letters with her family, and only intercepted one time, she found out that she was doing those things secretly. Although she was not plotting against me, but she was helping Cao Yin and Li Xu to spy on him. My privacy is also a death penalty."

Lan Qi's mouth was half open when she heard this, it was unbelievable, she never imagined that Wang's seemingly smart person would do such a stupid thing. Get close to the concubine De, and say that in the palace in the future, the concubine De will be someone you can rely on.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had never been close to the Wang family and the Yuan family. Otherwise, wouldn't Wang Changzai even spread the news of the situation in the Yonghe Palace to the south of the Yangtze River?

"Behind them are Jiangnan and Han people. If I deal with them, I will end up distrusting the words of the Han people. But I am so angry that I don't want to say anything to her. I want to let her know that life in this palace is not easy. What happened, I stuffed her into Qixiang Palace, I know..." Xuan Ye paused, and said with a bit of self-mockery, "It's really not a manly thing for me to do this."

Lan Qi's heart skipped a beat, and there was a faint voice in her heart saying to herself what she didn't want to hear, but after struggling for a while, she still timidly asked: "The emperor actually likes Wang Changzai, right?"

Xuan Ye looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, and with a hint of guilt, he stretched out his hand to gesture for Lan Qi to embrace her, but the person in front of him knelt and sat motionless, lowered his eyes and said, "I know, I'm here The concubine can't be willing, she is dead or alive, what does it have to do with the concubine."

Xuan Ye took the initiative to come forward and hug her into his arms, but before she could speak, Lan Qi said: "Your Majesty, don't say nice things to coax people, I just want to feel sad for a while."

"What's that called?" Xuan Ye smiled helplessly, rubbed her arm and said, "I'm not good, when I see young and beautiful people, I always..."

Lan Qi struggled to avoid it, and said sadly: "Don't say such a thing, I really can't bear it, let's talk about something else?" Suddenly she was very wronged, and she asked Xuan Ye pitifully, "Your Majesty, my minister Is the concubine really old?"

Xuan Ye smiled slightly, kissed the corner of her eyes, and said softly: "Are you afraid of wrinkles here? If I kiss you more, there won't be any. Don't be unhappy, you know what I mean, and you know how I feel. bad habit."

But Lan Qi laughed out loud, her crying and smiling face was really cute, she was held in Xuan Ye's arms and asked her what she was laughing at, and they said: "The concubine thinks of her son, the emperor don't think that the fourth elder brother is serious when he is studying, privately He's a little cunning, that mouth is so sweet, no wonder Empress Xiaoyi was coaxed around by him. Now that I occasionally talk about Yuxi with my concubine, I'm already acting like a big man, my concubine always thinks, how many times you In a word, the courtiers and concubines will forget who they are, and the daughter-in-law will be coaxed into dizziness in the future, and our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really pitiful."

Xuan Ye laughed loudly and said, "He is my son after all."

Apart from sweet words and comforting each other, serious matters cannot be ignored. No matter how reluctant Lan Qi is, she still has to bear her dignity and responsibility as a concubine. After both of them felt better, Lan Qi took the initiative to say: "This Let Chen Qie come forward, let Chen Qie explain the stakes to Wang Changzai, she is a smart person, she will understand how to go forward, but Chen Qie also put the words aside, If Mrs. Wang has a different heart and does something to betray the emperor, the emperor should not blame the courtiers and concubines for being cruel, such a person cannot be tolerated in the harem."

Xuan Ye said with relief: "I know that this matter will always end with you, so that's why I keep it in my heart."

Lan Qi lowered her eyes and said: "Then the emperor will like her less in the future."

Xuan Ye groaned, and deliberately said: "Anyway, there will be new talent in the draft two years later, and more beautiful and young ones will be selected, so I will let her go."

The words made the face of the person in front of her change. Knowing that Xuan Ye was deliberately teasing her, Lan Qi still felt uncomfortable. She turned around and grabbed the bulging money bag and hid it in her bosom. She lowered her head and muttered: "Money is the best."

Xuan Ye smiled and looked at her: "I can't make up for what I owe you, but I can give you whatever you want, as long as you ask."

"The concubine also wants a sky blue glazed bottle." Lan Qi said unceremoniously, Xuan Ye had no choice but to agree to her, without even asking, why did she save so many bottles.

That day when the emperor left the Yonghe Palace, Concubine Rong rushed over and asked Lan Qi if she had anything to say about Wang Chang's presence. She said worriedly: "She hasn't had rice or water in the past few days, so Concubine Xi won't bother her anymore, but She doesn't even want to live."

Lan Qi sighed: "I'll go to Qixiang Palace tomorrow and say what I have to say. I can't stop her if she really wants to die, but Sister Rong, she can't die. If she dies, it will be difficult for the emperor."

The words are contradictory, and the mood is also tangled, but she has to clean up the mess for Xuan Ye. The two of them seem to be born not to want to make up for each other. If Xuan Ye settles the injustice, she will come. If she makes a mess, Xuan Ye will come. In the end, when I think about it occasionally, it seems quite fair.

The next day it was still snowing heavily. When Lan Qi's warm sedan chair arrived at Qixiang Palace, a thick layer of snow covered the roof of the sedan chair. Xi Concubine was waiting in front of the door with her cloak in her arms and two promises from the backyard. Lan Qi smiled and said: "It's such a cold day, what are you doing outside, if you're so polite, I won't come here in the future."

Everyone saluted respectfully and surrounded the concubine De to enter the door, but when she entered the courtyard, Lan Qi said unceremoniously: "Don't rush to drink the tea in Xi Concubine's room. I heard that Wang Changzai is not good. I want to go and have a look." she."

Embarrassed, Concubine Xi defended herself, "She hasn't had rice water for a few days, and my concubine's words are all worn out, so it's useless."

"Naturally you have worked hard. She is very cautious at her age, and she is not easy to discipline." Lan Qi smiled slightly, raised her cloak and turned to the east side hall. As for going in the wrong direction, Huanchun Luzhu and the others crowded around, gradually leaving everyone in Qixiang Palace behind.

When the concubine De concubine entered Wang Changzai's side hall, Lvzhu went out smiling and said to the concubine Xi and others who wanted to follow in: "My lady wants to talk to Wang Changzai, please wait in the main hall, my lady will wait a while." Let's chat with you over tea."

They were stopped outside the door, and the aura of Lu Zhu and the others completely overwhelmed the people in Qixiang Palace. Sure enough, the servants who favored the concubines were like half masters. One of them promised: "Concubine Rong and Concubine De have come to take care of this Wang family one after another. Madam, are we doing too much? If the emperor likes her again, she will..."

"Shut up." Xi Concubine scolded angrily, her face flushed, "What can a Han woman do?"

In the East Palace, Lan Qi took off her cloak, held a hand stove to warm her body, and wandered around the Wang family's room for a few steps. Wang Changzai was supported by the maids to leave the couch. Lan Qi couldn't bear to see her so haggard, but when she thought of the absurd things she did, and being worthless for Xuan Ye, she turned around and sat on the warm kang, and Wang was supported by the maids and knelt down in front of her again. .

Lan Qi has always been reluctant to be overly servile to her, even when people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs go to Yonghe Palace on official business, most of them stand up.She feels that seeing others kneeling often will give birth to arrogance. Her dignity does not need to be maintained by other people's knees. It is very rare in Yonghe Palace to look down on Wang's kneeling on the ground like today. have.

"You're here, did you reflect on yourself?" Lan Qi said straight to the point, "You send a private message to the family, I am No malice, is there?"

Wang looked at Lan Qi in amazement, and asked in a voice like a mosquito: "Your Majesty knows? Your Majesty... has you told your Majesty?"

Lan Qi looked down at her proudly: "I am the one who is asking you now, answer me."

Suddenly, Wang burst into tears and limply collapsed on the ground, crying and saying that what she did was unintentional, and that she really didn't know it would be such a big crime.

But Lan Qi was unmoved, and said coldly: "If you don't want to tell the truth, I can't help you. If you insist on insisting on your last bit of dignity, then wait to die in this palace. Do you think that the emperor will not kill you, or even dare to kill you?"

Mrs. Wang stared blankly at the people sitting on the seat. Lan Qi's gaze was like a blade, and she forced her to say: "There are so many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, what are you?"

"Miss?"

"Are you unintentional?" Lan Qi asked again.

"No, it's not..." Mrs. Wang collapsed suddenly, fell on the ground and cried, "This concubine is guilty, but your empress begs you to trust this concubine, this concubine has no bad intentions, no malicious intentions, this concubine is just..."

"What's the use of explaining now?" Lan Qi signaled Huanchun to pull Wang Shi up, and dragged a chair to put the limp person on it. A concubine can't live happily ever after in Qixiang Palace, and Empress Xi can't wait to strangle the concubine to death."

Lan Qi glanced at Huanchun, Huanchun bent her knees and lifted up Wang Changzai's skirt, and rolled up her trousers, but seeing Wang's fair and slender legs, the purple and black spots on her knees were very frightening. Xi Concubine's punishment for kneeling is true.
