Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"The concubine leads the way for the emperor." Concubine Hui bowed and slowly led the emperor to the eighth elder brother's room. Inside the door was Baoyun leading a group of court ladies and eunuchs to greet him. Concubine Hui suddenly remembered that there was Baoyun. Man, a look of horror can't help but appear on his face.

The emperor didn't care, seeing Bao Yun, he said: "I remember, you are the person in front of the emperor's grandmother."

Baoyun kowtowed deeply: "Your maidservant is right, and your maidservant is blessed to be remembered by the emperor."

Xuan Ye glanced at Concubine Hui, and smiled slightly: "I can remember all the people in front of the Empress Dowager in the past, even the people in the tea and dining room. I will definitely remember them if I meet them. They all serve the Empress Dowager People are the heroes of the Qing Dynasty.”

Baoyun prostrated himself and said: "The emperor cut off your slaves, your servants are just slaves."

Xuan Ye asked her to get up, and asked casually: "Now you are serving Eighth Brother?"

Baoyun replied: "After the eighth elder brother arrived in Changchun Palace, the servant girl has been assisting the mother to take care of the eighth elder brother's daily life. As the eighth elder brother grows up, the empress said that the eighth elder brother is used to being served by the servant girl, so don't let the servant girl bother about other things. , It is serious to take good care of the eighth elder brother with all one's heart. It is also the empress's sympathy, there are not many things around the eighth elder brother, and the empress often does everything by herself, and the slaves are now free and comfortable."

Xuan Ye looked back at Concubine Hui, with a gentle smile: "No wonder Yinhu is polite and measured, and his performance in the study is better than his brothers, which shows that you have put your heart into it."

Concubine Hui's heart skipped a beat, and she tried her best to answer with a smile: "This is what a concubine should do. It was because the emperor hired a good teacher for Brother Ba that he learned the character he has today."

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "There are also your precepts and deeds. As for me, father and son don't see each other a few times a year, so there is no teaching."

Concubine Hui bowed her head in silence, while the emperor paced slowly in the house, looked at the place where Yinhu lived, sat down in front of his desk, flipped through the books he usually read, and saw the dense small letters on the book, asked Said: "Is this written by Yinhu?"

Concubine Hui was stopped by the question, she didn't know it, and she was afraid that it would be different from Baoyun's answer, so she insisted on not opening her mouth. Sure enough, Baoyun had a wink, and immediately replied: "When the eighth elder brother is reading, the pen in his hand is also non-stop. Yes, the servants don't know a few words, and don't know what the eighth elder brother wrote, but they know that the characters are small and neat, and often persuade the eighth elder brother not to hurt his eyes."

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "It won't hurt your eyes, it's just that it's the first time I've seen the small script that this child practiced quietly." He pointed to the side, there was no professor in the study, and he didn't name the child to read it. and asked, "Where did these books come from?"

Concubine Hui didn't know, she was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, she just listened to Baoyun's answer: "My servant sometimes sees the eighth elder brother bringing a book or two back, and only asks it casually once or twice, I remember the eighth elder brother said yes. The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother gave it to them."

"Yes, the third and fourth are already reading these books, but he is still a little early, but if these annotations are all written by himself, this child still has the ability to learn without a teacher." The emperor was delighted with his son's intelligence , slowly turning the pages of the book in his hand, and said to Concubine Hui, "I didn't expect that you have two sons, one literary and one military. I pushed Yinti too hard at the beginning. If you know how promising he is now, why are you so strict? It hurt the relationship between father and son. At present, the eighth elder brother is diligent and studious, but his riding and archery skills are not satisfactory. I thought that children's talents always have their shortcomings. Seeing how capable Yinti is now, I gradually looked away. "

Concubine Hui was a little flustered when she heard it, but she knew in her heart that the emperor would tell her the "truth" and she didn't dare to get too complacent. Teaching has results."

"Really?" Xuanye asked with a smile, waved his hand to signal Baoyun and others to go down, got up from his son's desk, walked to his bed, pointed to the furnishings in the room and said, "Is it my brother's room?" It's too simple, the emperor's grandmother always said, simplicity can't lose dignity, at first glance, this child's room doesn't look like living in an elder brother."

Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "It's the concubine's negligence, the emperor forgives the sin."

But the emperor said: "For so many years, I have forgiven you so many sins, and this one is not bad."

Concubine Hui was shocked, her face turned pale in an instant, she looked at the person in front of her with confused eyes, and when she regained her senses, she immediately knelt down on her knees, gnashing her teeth in horror, fear and even hatred in her heart. Then said: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor said."

Xuan Ye looked down at her, changed his gentleness in front of Baoyun and others, although he was not harsh, but the majesty in his star eyes was enough to force Concubine Hui not to look directly at her, and she lowered her head deeply.

"Everyone in the palace said that the elder brother grew up being beaten and scolded by me. He is the child who has been beaten the most by me among the elder brothers. I think it myself. Except for the crown prince, I have indeed poured my heart into Yinti. The most thoughts." Xuan Ye said slowly, walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back, "He is the eldest son and the boss, if he can't do well, the younger brothers should follow suit. But he has someone like you Mother, if not, I don't need to bother, and just hand him over to his biological mother."

Concubine Hui's body was as if frozen, and she couldn't speak a word, but even if she could speak, what could she say?Whether she was arguing with the emperor that he was wrong, or arguing that she had never done anything wrong to him, what right did she have to say that she lost her qualifications as early as ten years ago in the dark Qianqing Palace.To be alive, the emperor rewarded her to take a breather.

The emperor's expression was indifferent, and his words were ruthless: "The crown prince has no mother, and he is also the crown prince. I must personally teach and raise him. The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother all have mothers, and the fifth elder brother is raised by the empress dowager. The children of the concubine Yi are also raised by the empress dowager." I don’t worry about those who are in my elder brother’s place, even if they can’t learn the best, they won’t learn badly, but if big brother follows you, they can only learn badly.”

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Hui finally let out a cry of grief, but she couldn't say anything after all.

Xuan Ye sneered: "It's been more than ten years, I still remember what I said to you that night, but unfortunately you have long forgotten."

Concubine Hui was in tears, and said in a trembling voice: "The concubine has not forgotten, how dare the concubine forget?"

Xuan Ye leaned over slightly, frowned and looked at her face and said: "You even changed your appearance, you know? It's not that you become ugly, but that the thoughts you have hidden in your heart are gradually revealed on your face." , don’t think that the mirror can reflect everything, what I can see right now, you must have never seen it yourself.”

The emperor's words pierced into Concubine Hui's heart like a knife, she finally couldn't bear it, and asked in despair: "The emperor came today to humiliate his concubines?"

Xuan Ye said: "Yuan promised to mention you when nothing happened. I have been listening to your affairs for the past few days. When I think of you, I want to come and see you. And Eighth Brother's master praised Eighth Brother to me yesterday for being studious and smart. I should also reward you for teaching your son well."

Concubine Hui smiled wryly: "But the emperor just reprimanded him. It seems that the concubine is not suitable to teach the eighth elder brother. If the emperor thinks it is inappropriate, the minister is willing to let the eighth elder brother also move into the elder brother's house."

"Of course they are different." Xuan Ye said indifferently, "If it weren't for Bao Yun, who would answer the few questions I asked?"

"Concubine..."

"It's his luck that you don't pay attention to Brother Ba." The emperor said, but he reached out to help Concubine Hui up, with deep meaning in his eyes, "What should be said, I told you more than ten years ago, I won’t go into details today. You can enjoy the splendor and wealth in the palace with peace of mind, but you should remind yourself occasionally, stop messing around, don’t ruin the life of your son who has grown up so easily, you have already ruined your own Do you want to ruin Yinti for the rest of your life?"

Concubine Hui was tearful, but she didn't dare to cry in front of the emperor. Is Xuan Ye trying to force her to death?

"I told you more than ten years ago, you can do it for yourself, and it is the same now." The emperor let go of his hand and let her stand firm, "Be your concubine Hui well, so that Yinti can have a decent mother-in-law, don't be afraid of it." Let him not be able to lift his head among courtier brothers."

But Concubine Hui still fell heavily to the ground, her heart sneered like ashes: "Could it be that one, has never done anything wrong?"

Xuan Ye chuckled: "For a good person, once in a while he makes a mistake, the world will attack him and wipe out all his goodness; for a person with all kinds of evil, it is rare for him to have a kind heart, and the world will praise him and forget that he once The evil. Vulgar people often pretend to be noble in front of the strong, and pretend to be merciful in front of the weak, showing off their pathetic pride and self-esteem."

Concubine Hui said coldly, "So in the eyes of the emperor, it doesn't matter if she does anything wrong?"

The emperor shook his head, smiled slightly and said, "In my eyes, she is never wrong, do you understand?"

Concubine Hui raised her desperate gaze: "Just because the emperor likes her?"

Xuan Ye said: "Yes."

When Shengjia left the Changchun Palace, Yuan promised to send it out graciously as when he entered the door. He held his arms very intimately, and his words were even more charming and cute. She is the embryo of a beauty and she is young. From her point of view, this kind of behavior is not Not pretending to be hypocritical, it would look weird if it was replaced by a few seniors.

"If you like Changchun Palace, you can move here and Concubine Hui nods." The emperor coaxed Yuan to agree, but when he turned his back, he turned cold and walked away.

Yuan promised, but he didn't know this, he was still immersed in the emperor's tenderness towards him, and ran back happily to report to Concubine Hui, who would have expected that Concubine Hui would throw Baoyun away as soon as he entered Eighth Prince's house Two slaps, the crackling sound made Yuan Ying's legs go limp, he held on to the door frame and didn't dare to move again, while Bao Yun inside knelt down on the ground, his face instantly swelled up with bright red five finger marks, it was shocking.

Concubine Hui was not furious, but said coldly: "Don't think that you will be overjoyed if the emperor says you are a hero of the Qing Dynasty, but you are just a slave, and I can kill you at any time."
