Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"You rarely ask me for help." Lan Qi joked, and said to her, "But I have to see what's going on."

Seeing Concubine De's friendly attitude, Jue Chan relaxed a lot, and said with a smile: "You promised to hand over Concubine Hui to my concubine earlier, do you remember?"

Lan Qi nodded, "Isn't it something we've always agreed on? But..." She paused and said, "I really haven't seen you do anything."

There was confidence in Jue Chan's eyes, "It's so easy to kill her, but my concubine doesn't want to take advantage of her so much, the days are so long, just take it easy."

"Say, what do you want me to do?" Lan Qi asked.

"The concubine wants to have a chance to get close to the eighth elder brother. I'm afraid I need my mother to help me here. Please ask the fourth elder brother to connect with me." Jue Chan said flatly, "But my lady, don't get me wrong, I don't want to go back to the eighth elder brother. Elder Brother, Chen Qie just wants Eighth Elder Brother to understand his situation in Changchun Palace, and let him know what kind of person he should grow up to be."

Lan Qi frowned slightly, and asked tentatively: "Are you going to take advantage of the child? Are you not afraid that the child will hate you? You may regret it in the future."

Jue Chan shook his head: "The concubine does not want to use the eighth elder brother, the minister does not want the eighth elder brother to be used by the concubine Hui, as you said, if the minister uses the eighth elder brother, he may regret it in the future, after all, he is a concubine In the same way, if the eighth elder brother is used by Concubine Hui as her shield in the future, the concubine will not be able to do it because of this? Now that the eighth elder brother has grown up, he can think more independently and calmly. There is no need to worry that there will be extra problems after getting close to him, but he was still young in the past, and my concubine didn't want him to say something wrong in Changchun Palace, but Concubine Hui would plot against him instead."

Lan Qi always felt that talking to Jue Chan could bring peace of mind. How dare she think that a person who was dying in the past could develop such a strong personality, but looking at herself, she seemed to be getting more and more irritable.But from an objective point of view, Jue Chan has only one goal in this life, and that is to make Concubine Hui's life worse than death. Whether it is the emperor's favor, the eighth elder brother's future, or even the family, all of these are not troubled by her. , without so many desires and distracting thoughts, she can indeed look at everything in the Forbidden City calmly.

Herself, on the other hand, was the exact opposite of her.

Xuan Ye and her children, the women in the Sixth Palace and the family members outside the palace, all these are filled in Lan Qi's world. She has too many desires, and she has a completely different state of mind from Jue Chan's. She should treat herself again. Be forgiving and encourage yourself to do a good job.

"I would like to ask the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother to talk about it, and find some opportunities to let the concubine and the eighth elder brother get along alone. Although it is very abrupt, the minister will handle it well and explain it to the eighth elder brother. Please rest assured, my mother." Jue Chan The nobleman got up while talking, bowed and said, "It's late at night, the concubine should go back, please rest well, the palace will be very busy in the next few days. The concubine and concubine will check things out for you."

Lan Qi didn't want to stay any longer. After Jue Chan left, Huan Chun finally had the opportunity to serve her master to wash up. Lan Qi told her what Dong Yun said and what Mr. Jue Chan said. Huan Chun said: "Since it is the emperor's My idea, then this matter will only be talked about in the Qianqing Palace. If the slaves of the Qianqing Palace were to leak out, what would they do earlier? They only leaked out a while ago, and it is necessary to check whether there are new servants in the Qianqing Palace. manpower."

Lan Qi held her loose hair in one hand, and a comb in the other, and combed it to the end, suddenly remembered something, looked at Huan Chun in the mirror and said, "I need to ask Eunuch Liang for the new staff, but I often go to Who is the servant of Qianqing Palace?"

Huanchun hurriedly said, "It's Wang Changzai."

Lan Qi nodded, held the comb in her hand, frowned and said: "Eunuch Liang said that she has been in the Qianqing Palace these days, and she often waits alone in the side hall. What do you think she can do there? You say she can sleep at night. I often wait on the bed until midnight, the emperor can handle a lot of things this night."

Huan Chun said softly: "It seems that you can call Eunuch Liang over and ask him if he has mentioned this matter to the Emperor recently, so we can figure it out right away."

Lan Qi smiled: "But this is bound to alarm the emperor, I don't care about confessing to him, but the emperor may not want me to know, Huanchun, look, someone wants to provoke my relationship with the emperor, even if I don't feel sad because of it, in the end I'm still in an embarrassing situation, and they really calculated."

Huan Chun gritted his teeth with hatred: "It's not as good as a bright knife and a bright gun. This is the most hateful."

Lan Qi was shocked, she put down her comb, turned to Huan Chun and said, "Go to Yanxi Palace one more time, go now, and tell Mr. Jue Chan that there is no need to investigate this matter, we have to stop quietly, once I stretch out my hand It is their way to check, we should take a cold look and see what other tricks they can play."

Huanchun didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to Yanxi Palace again, and brought back the nobleman Juechan's words: "The concubine obeys the orders of the empress."

There was no gossip about the tossing in the Yonghe Palace that night in the Sixth Palace, and finally there were no extra problems.Soon it will be a great day for Princess Rongxian to get married. The day before the wedding, the emperor hosted a banquet for the Bahrain Ministry and civil and military officials in the Hall of Preservation and Harmony. The shadows on the temples sing and dance, showing royal luxury.

Concubine Rong was not in a good mood because she was reluctant to let her daughter get married. The emperor and the empress dowager sympathized with her mood and asked her to retreat to the palace to talk to her daughter earlier. Most of the affairs here were presided over by Lan Qi. Said: "In the past, the person who always talked next to the empress's mother is now so capable in busying herself with others. The emperor wants to love Concubine De more. Let me say a word, no matter how good the new love is, it will not be as good as the one who has been by your side for a long time. Know the cold and know the heat."

Xuan Ye knew that the queen mother had no malice, and that she was biased towards Lan Qi, so she agreed with a smile: "I remember, but the empress dowager don't say these things in front of her, she should be proud again later."

Seeing that the emperor was deliberately joking, the queen mother was relieved, and did not say any more about these words.When the banquet was coming to an end, the Empress Dowager was about to leave the banquet and go back to the palace. When she looked at the emperor again, she realized that his eyes were scarlet as if he was drunk.Marrying a daughter is a happy event, and it is a joy to be Ama. People who have never been greedy for alcohol, really drank too much tonight.

The Empress Dowager called Eunuch Liang to come forward and said, "After the banquet is over, don't worry about things here. Let Concubine De go to Qianqing Palace to serve the emperor first. The children will have to salute tomorrow morning. Don't make any mistakes."

Afterwards, surrounded by concubines Fujin, the Empress Dowager left the table and returned to Ningshou Palace, and the banquet in the Hall of Preserving Harmony was about to end. Eunuch Liang conveyed those words to Empress Concubine De, and when the emperor withdrew from the table and the six palaces dispersed, Lan Qi took care of it After a few clan elders, they hurried to Qianqing Palace.

But just after entering the Qianqing Gate, the familiar scene appeared before her eyes again, but this time Wang Changzai arrived earlier than Lan Qi and was waiting outside the gate. She was very surprised when she saw Concubine De, but it seemed to be worse than last time. With some confidence, he even directly said after saluting: "The concubine came here by order, and the emperor turned over the concubine's sign."

Lan Qi stood still, and motioned to Huan Chun beside her: "Go ask Eunuch Liang what's going on."

Before Huanchun could enter the door, Eunuch Liang had already run out. Seeing this posture again, his brows were almost knotted, so he hurriedly went to Lan Qi and said, "Please, Your Majesty, the emperor is waiting."

Lan Qi didn't look at Mrs. Wang anymore, and went straight to the door. The half-drunk Xuan Ye was already lying down with his eyes closed. After serving for so many years, although the emperor was not greedy for drinks, once he was too drunk, it was very difficult to serve him. As soon as she entered the door, she touched her hands. Drunk people get obsessed and forget about things outside.

At this moment, Wang Changzai held his breath in front of the door and said to Liang Gonggong: "Director Liang, you should ask the slaves in Qianqing Palace who ran to Qixiang Palace to pass the message. I really heard someone coming to pass the message. Said that the emperor turned over my sign and asked me to come here quickly, even the concubine Xi knew it, you said that there is such a commotion now, do you dare to feel that my old love and the concubine de concubine have trouble with each other?"

Director Liang hurriedly said: "Something must have gone wrong. The servant will definitely check it out for you. Do you still remember the appearance of the eunuch who sent the message?"

Mrs. Wang only heard it through the window, and didn't see the real person, so she asked the maid next to her, and the maid knelt down in fright and said: "It's so dark, and the slaves are anxious to tell the master to get ready to go out, so they don't care about people." look."

Eunuch Liang guessed a little in his mind, and hurriedly persuaded Wang Changzai: "I will give you an explanation for this matter later, you go back to Qixiang Palace first, the concubine and concubine have gone in, you don't leave here, the people outside Maybe how to pass it on, maybe Defei Empress will also misunderstand you."

Wang's eyes were red and she said: "Mr. Liang, you know that I have always kept my own place. It is the empress Xi who treated me like before. I still respect her now, not to mention that the empress is such a good person? The last time was I wasn't careful, and it wasn't my fault tonight."

Eunuch Liang listened one by one, trying to persuade people to leave. There is still a wedding waiting for tomorrow. Who has the time to solve her grievances. The emperor was drunk all night, and the imperial concubine stayed with her all night. Eunuch Liang didn't dare to disturb her. .At dawn the next day, preparations for the wedding began. The newcomer was going to come to Qianqing Palace to kowtow to the emperor. The emperor and empress were supposed to receive the gift together. Naturally, the concubine de concubine wanted to avoid suspicion and leave quickly. She left in a hurry, and Eunuch Liang had no chance to convey to Wang Chang Being wronged, he decided to put this matter aside and talk about it after the wedding.

This is the second time the royal family has married a princess, but Princess Chunxi is not her own daughter after all. Princess Rongxian's wedding this time is obviously more grand than the last time the eldest princess married. The queen mother's invitation is also included, saying that it is a noble rank, and only those who have parents and children are eligible. Lanying just gave birth to a big fat boy this year, which is a fresh and hot blessing.

After saluting at Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace, the princess came to Jingyang Palace. Rong Xian suddenly stopped in front of the door. The palace where she lived for more than ten years felt strange for some reason.
