Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Eunuch Liang frowned. Although he had not been in the top spot among the palace ladies and eunuchs in the Forbidden City for a short time, the chief steward was the chief steward. The number one concubine, the concubine De, who had the final say, treated him with courtesy, and often thought of his hard work in taking care of the emperor, but this little Chang Zai actually yelled at her.

Wang Changzai was also in a hurry, so he uttered bad words.She is a daughter at home, and she is not a person who is always low-browed and pleasing to the eye. After entering the palace, she has to bend down to be a person. But these days, the emperor gave her face, and everyone in the palace flattered her. The pride of her early years as a daughter has returned to her body Li, impulsive, did not control his words and deeds.

"Wang Chang is waiting for a while. After the servant Min Chang enters the door, he will ask the Lord Long Live before he will give you an explanation." Eunuch Liang sneered in his heart. Xia Wang Changzai turned around to Min Changzai, bowed and said, "Changzai, Lord Long Live has been waiting for a long time, please come inside."

Min Chang raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Shi, her brows and eyes were full of anger, and her beautiful face under the light looked a bit ferocious.

"Eunuch Liang, the Yanxi Palace has been bustling all day today, and the little princess was hugged and played around by everyone. She was a little uncomfortable at night, and she was still crying before I went out. I felt very uneasy. I thought After reporting to the emperor, he retreated. Now that Wang Chang is here, there is no shortage of people to serve the emperor, so I feel more at ease, so I won’t go in. I’ll trouble my father-in-law to tell the emperor for me. I’d better go back first. I’m really thinking about it little princess."

After Min Chang said these words calmly and indifferently, before Eunuch Liang could agree, he blessed himself inside the door and held Xiao Yu's hand and was about to turn around. Eunuch Liang tried to keep her but failed. A young eunuch ran out and whispered in Mr. Liang's ear. Mr. Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and turned to the two of them, "Long Live Lord has something important to deal with, maybe he will call the ministers to see him overnight. Don't bother me at night, the two are always waiting, please go back and rest earlier."

But Wang Changzai asked loudly and sharply: "According to this, Lord Long Live obviously summoned me, but Mr. Liang, what did you say just now? You are obviously playing tricks on me?"

Eunuch Liang replied without changing his face: "Long Live God knows you are coming, so he said this. The servant is on the imperial errand. How often do you dare to miss something? The servant has a few heads, and dares to play tricks on Wang Changzai."

"It's obvious in your heart..." Wang Chang was so arrogant, he couldn't hold back his arrogance for a while, and when he was about to scold Eunuch Liang, he heard the movement of the sedan chair from the side.

Everyone followed the sound, and unknowingly, Min Changzai had already sat back in the soft sedan chair. Her court lady Xiaoyu came to salute Wang Changzai and said goodbye to Wang Changzai, and said her hard work to Eunuch Liang before leaving.

This made Wang Changzai even more lacking in demeanor. She was a smart person, and knew that she was losing her composure tonight, but Eunuch Liang was a slave after all, and she couldn't bear to be pleasing to a slave. That's it, I don't care about Eunuch Liang any more, and just sit back in the sedan chair.

Both sides left, and Eunuch Liang straightened up to catch his breath. The little apprentice next to him kindly came to ask him to go back, and helped Wang Changzai with a few words, but was scolded by Eunuch Liang: "Slap your mouth, you bastard, when will it be your turn?" Are you talking about the master behind his back?"

Naturally, Eunuch Liang would not really punish the young apprentice, but he also murmured in his heart, looking at the two people who were always in positions, one used to be the lowest court lady, and the other was a young lady from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, but why? Look, Min Changzai is more dignified and magnanimous, and he has a bit of the character of a concubine, but this Wang Changzai is really not flattering.

In the past, there was a powerful concubine Ping in the palace. If something like this happened, she would definitely not be able to forgive Wang Changzai for being so arrogant. contend.She is the first to favor her, but her temperament is because the emperor forcibly changed her into what she is now. Even if something happened in Yuqing Palace, he can explain to her Zhou Quanyuan, and the prince, Fujin, is "shorter" than her For a while, Eunuch Liang knew in his heart that no matter how distasteful it was, he could not go against the emperor's will. Since the emperor wanted Wang Changzai to walk sideways in this palace, he made way for it.

But this incident was rumored in the palace the next day, saying that Wang Changzai went to intercept Min Changzai's favor, which angered the emperor, and both of them were sent back. Said that Min Changzai's fate is no longer what it used to be, and the palace that has been peaceful for several months has ripples again, but soon it will be the day when the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother get married, even if Lan Qi can bear it, Concubine Rong will not agree .

In the next two days, some concubines with broken mouths were punished by Concubine Rong for this. Although the palace calmed down a bit, there were also unconvinced and bold ones who went directly to Ningshou Palace and insisted that the Queen Mother is not the old emperor. The queen mother, this "master" is easy to bully, so she begged the queen mother to be the master and take care of the arrogant Wang Changzai.

Concubine Rong and Lan Qi were even more angry, how could they allow those women to disturb the Queen Mother's peace, even though they were summoned to reprimand and punish them, Ningshou Palace had already been alarmed, the Queen Mother could no longer pretend that she didn't know, the only way to do this was to bring Wang and Zhang Jia Everyone called to her, and when Lan Qi arrived at Ningshou Palace, the two were kneeling in the hall to answer the question.

Concubine Rong and Lan Qi walked by and saluted the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager remembered to ask them to get up and give them seats, but the two below were still kneeling, only to hear the Empress Dowager say: "Only when the concubines and concubines are in harmony can the six palaces be peaceful. You guys, you should be more honorable. Although what happened that night was not your fault, you should have handled it more carefully. Don’t let this happen again. If it spreads, you will lose the royal family. decent."

Lan Qi was listening, and the queen mother obviously looked at the emperor's face, so she didn't speak harshly to them, probably she just called out to show people outside, but the matter didn't end there, when the queen mother taught them how to behave, Liang The father-in-law came from the Qianqing Palace in person. Seeing Concubine De and Concubine Rong were here, he avoided their eyes guiltyly, and then he leaned in front of the Empress Dowager to convey the emperor's words. It actually conveyed Xuan Ye's words word by word: "The empress is willing to teach Wang Changzai. , please don’t be too harsh, just be more gentle and caring for the king.”

The queen mother was dumbfounded, she looked at Lan Qi blankly, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong had already got up and left their seats, listening to the emperor's words with their heads down, unaware that the queen mother was looking at them.

"Take Wang Changzai to Qianqing Palace." The queen mother could only look away, swallowed the resentment in her heart, and ordered in a cold voice, "Tell the emperor that I am not in good spirits and have no time to teach Wang Changzai for her. Please help me Don't worry."

Director Liang responded tremblingly. After kowtowing to the Queen Mother, Wang Chang struggled to get up from the ground. Although there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes, he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of the Queen Mother and Second Concubine. He bowed his head and stepped back, waiting at the door Before turning around, Lan Qi could clearly see her straightening her waist, her chin raised when she turned her face sideways, and her whole body was filled with endless arrogance.

"You all step back." The queen mother was obviously very upset, she helped the nurse next to her to get up and walk to the inner hall, Lan Qi didn't dare to stop her, she asked sister Rong to take care of Min Changzai who had been kneeling for a long time, and followed the queen mother After entering the door, the Empress Dowager sat down on the kang, she motioned for the mother to leave the crowd, and immediately bowed her knees and bowed deeply, "My concubine apologizes to you on behalf of the emperor, the emperor will definitely come to apologize to you in person in the future, just those words It must be a last resort, please don't take it to heart, Empress Dowager."

"Get up and talk." The Empress Dowager frowned and complained, "For a little Changzai, she actually has the ability to make us like this."

Lan Qi didn't dare to get up, she still knelt on the ground, and said to the Queen Mother respectfully: "Look at how many concubines in the palace have been treated like this in the past few years. It was Queen Xiaoyi in the past. I have reprimanded you, the emperor is not tolerant of the face of a noble person like the empress, with Wang Changzai's status, how could the emperor not even care about your filial piety?"

She knelt at the Empress Dowager's knees, supported the Empress Dowager's robe, and explained everything the emperor had said to her. The Empress Dowager was so moved that she pulled Lan Qi to sit beside her, caressing the back of her hand and said: "It's hard for you. "

"The matter that the emperor took care of himself, the emperor took care of himself, and the concubine was not embarrassed. Seeing you angry, I really felt that it was not worth it and couldn't bear it, so I told the truth, but I think the emperor will come to explain to you in the future, Please forgive me, Empress Dowager." Lan Qi tried her best to defend Xuan Ye, and even mentioned Yuqing Palace, saying, "Look at how many years have people been allowed to be disrespectful to Yuqing Palace. Conversely, she blamed Fang Fujin for being careless. The emperor pushed Wang Changzai to the forefront in such an extreme way. I believe that the courtiers will attack her soon. Whether the emperor wants to use her to restrain the harem or guard the south of the Yangtze River, the concubines dare not Random speculation, but I know in my heart that she is actually a poor person, compared to her, the concubines and many concubines in this palace are much luckier."

The queen mother sighed: "I used to think that the empress I did was inexplicable back then. Now that I see you like this, I know how good my life is. I really don't know the blessings in the blessings. I am a rich and idle person, what else can I complain about?" .”

"If you don't misunderstand the emperor, the concubine will feel at ease." Lan Qi did not want the empress dowager to have any quarrel with Xuan Ye, so she still said cautiously, "Even if the emperor is too busy to explain to you, the concubine will try to remind the emperor. After all, the emperor was rude to you."

The Empress Dowager finally showed a slight smile, recalled the happy things and said: "After Yuxi enters the palace, let her watch how you behave in the world. You teach by example, she will definitely be a filial daughter-in-law in the future, and she will definitely not tell the elders like that."

This is something for later, now Lan Qi is afraid that the queen mother will misunderstand the emperor, she knows that even though she said so much, the queen mother must still have a grudge in her heart. The father-in-law sent back the words, the emperor asked the concubine De to be at ease, and the emperor went to Ningshou Palace to explain to the queen mother in person at night.

Sitting in the Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyes and saw the things used for the wedding on the table and shelves, and couldn't help complaining to Xuan Ye: "I don't know how to feel sorry for me at all, so I have to make trouble."
