Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Why is this happening again?" Bu Guiren clicked his tongue, "Didn't there be trouble in the garden in the past? Why did the maids from Yuqing Palace also follow?"

"Concubine Rong and I should not care about the affairs of Yuqing Palace. Go and tell the hot people below. Don't spread rumors or talk about it. Just pretend you haven't heard anything." Lan Qi was very helpless. On the day of her son's wedding, things could pop up in every corner, and she might have to adjust her mentality.

Luzhu led the order, and soon after the nobleman left, Huanchun paid attention to the affairs in the palace, and came back to tell the master: "He died of a sudden heart attack. Fang Fujin handled it well. As soon as the maid died, I asked someone to check it. Be generous and calm, and then send someone to tell Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace that there is no chaos in Yuqing Palace."

Lan Qi said with a smile: "It's getting more and more like it. The Fujin is indeed capable and virtuous. It's hard for her to handle the person who is about to give birth so thoughtfully."

I thought in my heart, it's a pity, the emperor doesn't seem to have the slightest intention to help her become the crown princess, and he seems to be looking for a candidate for the crown princess. Su Mala once hinted that she seemed to be waiting for the crown princess to grow up. It's settled.

Naturally, this is something that cannot be told to anyone, and when Lan Qi was just now praising Fang Fujin for his ability in front of Huan Chun, the fourth elder brother returned from Yuqing Palace in the evening, and seemed to be depressed because of this matter, Lan Qi coaxed him: : "I will be able to withdraw from Yuqing Palace next month. It's all because of Erniang's fault. Don't be angry."

Yinzhen laughed, and blamed Erniang: "What does it have to do with Erniang, you don't have to say that if you want to make me happy."

Seeing her son showing off her face, Lan Qi said joyfully, "Isn't it okay for Er Niang to spoil you?"

"Er Niang." Yinzhen became serious again, and sat down to signal Huanchun and the others to go out. When Lan Qi saw him with a smiling face, she was serious again, and her face was also sullen. Then she heard her son say, "The maid is the second brother likes it." Yes, I often see my second elder brother getting close to her, and I have been bumped into by Fujin several times, but Fujin always behaved very generously, and I vaguely listened to Fujin persuaded my second elder brother to take the maid into the house, but this is what happened. Not long after that, the court lady died."

Lan Qi stared blankly at her son, and Yinzhen said firmly, "From my point of view, most of the court ladies were killed by Jian Fujin. In fact, all the court ladies in Yuqing Palace were afraid of her. She ruled very strictly and got her nod." Only the maid of honor is the only one who dares to be approached by the second elder brother, and the others dare not even raise their heads."

"Are you afraid?" Lan Qi was concerned.

"What am I afraid of?" Yinzhen asked Eniang back, with a wry smile, "I'm about to get married."

"Er Niang didn't mean that." Lan Qi didn't mean to be joking, and said with a deep heart, "There is a saying, Er Niang asked Ama for you, but she always thought it was inappropriate and didn't want to tell you. Now even such a thing Let you meet, and you have grown up, Er Niang is not afraid that you will be disrespectful if you hear it."

Yinzhen blinked at his mother, only to hear Er Niang say: "Ama said, why do you have to send you to Yuqing Palace to study with the prince? At first, it was the same as Er Niang's wish, to protect you, but later he wanted to protect you." He found a more beneficial effect, and he wants you to know that the prince is actually nothing special."

"Er Niang?" The fourth elder brother was obviously stunned, his mouth was half open to speak, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Er Niang, in fact, I have long thought that the prince is nothing special."

"But you can't..." Lan Qi wanted to explain again, but was interrupted by her son, Yinzhen said seriously, "But no matter what the second elder brother looks like, he is still the prince. Don't worry, Er Niang, my son has everything in his heart." clear."

Lan Qi pursed her lips and said nothing, her heart was trembling, it was the influence of Empress Xiaoyi on her son, the empress had no scruples instilling in her son the idea of ​​becoming an emperor in the future, and even told Yuxi that he would be an emperor For the queen, fortunately, these two children are too sensible, so far they have not shown any inappropriate words or deeds in front of others.

"Emiang." Yinzhen softened his face again, smiled and pulled his mother's hand and said, "The side Fujin is so scary, and the third brother's Fujin doesn't know what kind of temperament it is. Before leaving the palace, please help me take good care of Yuxi." .”

Lan Qi was angry and funny, her brows were furrowed, she pinched her son's cheek with both hands and said, "My ears are almost callused, are you annoying?"

At this time, outside the Forbidden City, at Ulanara's mansion, Yuxi followed her mother to greet the elders in the family, and then returned to her boudoir. Before that, Fei Yanggu sent someone in, saying that it was a reward from the palace for her daughter. The rewards in the Heavenly Palace were endless these days, and they gradually became less curious, so they didn't pay much attention to them. Now they returned to the house and opened the things casually.

The box is not the usual jewelry, but a few ordinary pebbles, which are heavy, Jue Luo said with a smile: "I thought it was gold, silver and jade, but it was a few stones. I don't know where it is. It’s too strange that a palace concubine sent it out.”

But Yuxi quickly grabbed the few stones, and under the watchful eyes of her mother, ran to the fish tank in her house, carefully put the stones into the water, and still caressed a beautiful one in her hand, and put it down after a long time.

Jue Luo came over and asked, "Is it the fourth elder brother who gave it to you? I even remember this little thing for you."

The daughter was shy and blushed, she nestled in her mother's arms and said, "Emiang, don't ask any more."

"You are going to get married, why are you so shy?" Jue Luo comforted her heartily, "Si elder brother likes you so much, Er Niang is relieved, she was always worried about your marriage because we would do it our own way, and I was afraid that the melon that would be twisted would not be sweet. Xi, in the future, you should serve your husband well and honor your elders well, do you understand?"

The mother and daughter retreated to the table and sat down, continuing to sort out some other gifts that had not yet been unwrapped. But it's all a heart, Jue Luo recorded it for Yuxi one by one, and it's all the favors she will pay back for the fourth elder brother after becoming a fourth Fujin in the future.

Suddenly, the daughter suddenly asked: "In the future, the fourth elder brother will also take concubines. The elder brother's mansion has already accepted a lot of concubines. Mother, but I am not happy just thinking about it now. What will happen in the future?" manage?"

Jue Luoshi laughed: "Which family of men doesn't have a concubine? Although the concubine de concubine is extremely noble, she is also a concubine, not the main wife. You are the fourth elder brother's concubine. Prince, you are the noble Belle Fujin and the princess, the fourth elder brother can have countless concubines, but you are the only wife in the main room, do you know how many women in the world desire the position of the main room, and how many people don't have it?"

Yuxi nodded and said: "During the party, the cousins ​​all said that the side Fujin in Yuqing Palace might not be lucky enough to be a princess. It's been so many years."

Jue Luoshi advised her: "One should not be too greedy. You have already enjoyed the glory and wealth that countless people dare not expect in a lifetime. You should cherish your blessings. Even if the fourth elder brother takes a concubine in the future, you must be virtuous and magnanimous. Let the fourth elder brother respect you more, your mother-in-law will like you more, and make those concubines submit to your majesty."

Yuxi lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "He's only focused on me now, but in the future..."

Jue Luo said with a smile: "The children's family is so innocent, do you really think that the love between your children will last forever? Your current relationship will fade away sooner or later. Er Niang is a person who has experienced it, so she doesn't understand better than you? When you become the master of the family in the future The mistress of the family, you only calculate the expenses in the mansion every day, worrying about the royal family's favors, and the fourth elder brother has to do errands for the emperor to deal with the government affairs, you are all so busy, how can you be in the mood ?”

Yuxi mostly didn't listen to the mother's rambling words. Not long ago, the old lady came to send a message, saying that the master asked Fujin where to put the gift list of the young lady's dowry, and the dowry would be sent to the palace on the second day of November. Days require careful preparation.Jue Luo muttered that her husband came to intervene on a whim, but in fact she had already arranged these things, but she had to explain to her husband, so she told her daughter to go to bed earlier, and took her away from Yuxi's boudoir.

Sending her mother away in front of the door, Yuxi stood blankly for a long while, the nurse came to urge the young lady to go back to rest, she stood blankly in front of the fish tank for a long time, and waited to be urged to wash and go to bed again and again, lazily At the mercy of others, the wet nurse waited on the young lady, and asked with a smile: "Fu Jin hasn't arranged for anyone to enter the palace with you yet, what does the young lady think?"

Yuxi knew what the wet nurse was thinking, so she comforted her and said: "The rules in the palace are too strict. You will suffer, wet nurse, if you go in with me. The concubine de concubine will arrange someone to serve me. You don't have to worry. Stay in the mansion for now. In the future, I will Sui Si elder brother is out of the palace, if you still want to earn a job, you can go to elder brother's mansion and follow me. So it's not because Er Niang didn't arrange manpower, it's because I don't want to bring you into the palace."

The wet nurse said: "There is no one in my natal family, will I be laughed at?"

Yuxi shook her head: "My mother-in-law is the concubine Defei, who dares to laugh at me?" She said with determination, "I will learn my skills from the concubine Defei, and I don't want the fourth elder brother to worry about family affairs in the future."

Now everything is ready inside and outside the palace, just waiting for the auspicious day to come to an end, and the sudden death of a court lady in Yuqing Palace, because Fang Fujin handled it properly and dealt with the aftermath very humanely, it turned into a compliment to Fang Fujin It's a good thing for the virtuous, Concubine Rong and Lan Qi are relieved that there is one less thing to do, and they all look forward to the stars and the moon and wait for the auspicious day to come sooner.

The end of October is the fourth elder brother's birthday, because the wedding is coming soon, but the family gathered in Yonghe Palace to eat a bowl of birthday noodles, went to Ningshou Palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother to receive the reward, the emperor did not reward his son, but on this day In the afternoon, something that has nothing to do with the fourth elder brother came out from the Qianqing Palace.

For some reason, the emperor suddenly appointed the cousin of the side Fujin family in the name of the queen mother, and the Qin Tianjian selected an auspicious date. After the wedding of the three elder brothers and the fourth elder brothers, they were welcomed into the Forbidden City and also accepted as side Fujin. Once the news spread, The six palaces were in an uproar.

"The emperor said that Fujin is pregnant and will have to raise a child in the future. I'm afraid that the affairs in Yuqing Palace will be too busy, so I will invite another Fujin to share her worries." Concubine Rong rushed to talk to Lan Qi about this matter. , Tsk tut, "The emperor is the most capable of doing such embarrassing things. I just say that the maid died strangely."
