Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Time flies, in the twelfth lunar month of the 32nd year of Kangxi, when the four Fujin came to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects, and met the little side Fujin of Yuqing Palace outside the door, I still remembered the scene when she first entered the palace, and two years passed by. A lot of happy or sad things happened in the palace, and the little side Fujin who was shy and timid in the past has gathered a bit of fierceness in his eyebrows.

Because of the word "Wen" in her boudoir's name, Xiao Li Jia's family has been used to calling her Wen Fujin for the convenience of distinguishing between the two side Fujins in Yuqing Palace.In April of that year, Wen Fujin gave birth to a daughter, but it was a pity that she died in August, but because the crown prince loved Wen Fujin, it was only the twelfth lunar month, and she was already pregnant with Liujia, and the imperial doctor said that she would give birth in March of the next year.

Lan Qi was standing under the door with her wind-haired cloak in her arms, watching the nuns helping Wen Fujin to the front, she vaguely remembered that it was the same situation two years ago, when her cousin quarreled for a few days before giving birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, disturbing In the days after her wedding, even the people in the palace ignored her. At that time, Xiao Fujin was trembling when speaking, but in the past two years, she and her cousin had been fighting openly and secretly in Yuqing Palace. Everyone gradually knew that she was not good. Master of bullying.

"It's snowing, why are you here now?" Lan Qi asked politely, "Didn't the empress dowager order you not to come to pay her respects?"

Wen Fujin smiled and said: "Because there is a happy event in Yuqing Palace, I came here specially to congratulate the Empress Dowager."

Lan Qi and Yuxi looked at each other, and then listened to Wen Fujin's words, and then they knew that half an hour ago, the imperial physician gave another happy pulse in Yuqing Palace, her cousin was nearly three months pregnant, and the prince followed the emperor Before Yeling returned, Ce Fujin sent the pregnant woman to Ningshou Palace to announce the good news in person.

Wen Fujin soon entered the gate of Ningshou Palace, Lan Qi led Yuxi away, she couldn't help but look up at her, the melancholy could be seen on her daughter-in-law's face, which made Lan Qi feel distressed.

That year, after the crown prince Ce Fujin gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, good news came from the elder brother Fujin outside the palace. Unfortunately, when he gave birth in July of the following year, he still gave birth to a daughter. Da Fujin gave birth to four daughters in a row. Those who sympathized with her thought it was unbelievable, as if they were destined not to have a son, even Concubine Hui was in despair.And in the autumn of the same year, Sanfujin was also pregnant, but after she moved out, she didn't take care of herself in elder brother's house, and when she had a miscarriage in less than three months, she just found out that she was pregnant.

Regardless of whether Da Fujin gave birth to a daughter, or San Fujin had a miscarriage, or Prince Wen Fujin's child died, there was good news anyway, but the fourth elder brother, who has been married for two years, has not had any news so far.Going down, the queen mother was already talking about the marriage of the fifth elder brother, and when there was another Wu Fujin in the palace, if there was still no news from the fourth elder brother, the young couple would be really embarrassed.

Lan Qi suddenly stopped in her tracks, Yuxi sensed the movement, and stopped immediately.

In the past two years, the daughter-in-law has grown a lot taller, and Yinzhen has sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Although the majority of children at this age are born inside and outside the palace, in her eyes, sons and daughter-in-law are still children, and she is really not in a hurry Whether they have children or not, but the environment forces them to live in the "eyes" of others. The reality is in front of them, and this is their fate.

"Whether it's cold or not, let's wait for them to bring a warm sedan instead. The snow particles have penetrated into the hood, and the hair is also wet." Lan Qi reached out and took a handkerchief to gently wipe Yuxi's temples, and said gently, " It's not good to catch a cold, without you accompanying Er Niang to deal with the emperor's relatives in the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month, Er Niang would be very bored."

But Yuxi lowered her eyes even more, and said in a trembling voice: "If there is a grandson to accompany Er Niang, Er Niang will not be afraid of boredom."

Lan Qi smiled slightly and said: "Your younger brother and sister are just a little older, and I have managed to stay quiet for a few years. I'm not in a hurry for you to have a baby. Let Erniang take a break in two years, right?"

"Er Niang is coaxing me, I know." Yuxi pursed her lips, tightly grasped her mother-in-law's hand and said, "Er Niang, help me persuade Yinzhen to take a concubine, my body... "

"Okay, don't say these things." Lan Qi clenched her hand again, looking a little serious, "I will decide what Yinzhen tells me about this matter, and you don't care what you say. "

Yuxi was helpless, it was all about her mother-in-law and Yinzhen's love for her, so she nodded and responded softly: "I will listen to my mother."

During the conversation, a eunuch ran up ahead, and the attendant Lu Zhu came forward obediently, stepped on the snow and came back, and said with a displeased face: "Miss Xi concubine has sent a message, please send the imperial physician to Qixiang Palace again, saying that Wang Chang Now it seems that the lochia is unclean, and I feel uncomfortable, let the imperial doctor and Wen Po go and have a look."

Lan Qi had no expression on her face, she just asked, "How is little elder brother?"

Lu Zhu said nonchalantly, "This servant doesn't know."

Just a few days ago, at the end of November, Wang Chang gave birth to a little elder brother in Ping An. She was brought back to the Forbidden City during the 28th year of Emperor Kangxi's southern inspection. Yuan Xusuo, who entered the palace, injured his body, and because of the emperor's favor, he did not get close to him, so it was not until this spring that he was finally lucky enough to conceive a dragon descendant.

At that time, there were bursts of sourness in the palace, and Yonghe Palace could smell it when the door was closed. In contrast, Lan Qi, who has always been jealous, took good care of Qixiang Palace during this year, and Wang Chang was not affected by it. A little bit wronged.On the day of giving birth, Lan Qi and Concubine Xi stayed in the Qixiang Palace all night until the little elder brother was born.

Over the past year, countless people have criticized the concubine De concubine for wooing the young Wang Changzai for her favor. Even the slaves in the Yonghe Palace don't understand her master, but she doesn't care, and she focuses on taking care of Wang and her fetus. Now that the mother and child are safe, I can breathe a little.

At this moment, after hearing what Luzhu said, Lan Qi told Yuxi: "You go to Yonghe Palace to accompany Chen'er, now Shi San is in the study, she is very bored, Yinzhen is not in the palace, you are boring alone, I will go here Make a trip to Qixiang Palace and be back soon."

Lan Qi never allowed Yuxi to intervene or intervene in matters concerning the concubines in the palace. I heard Luzhu say from behind: "Madam, Wang Changzai is too noisy, you are going to Qixiang Palace this time, does she think that you owe her and should take care of her?"

Yuxi didn't dare to listen, so she hurried away, Lan Qi wasn't in a bad mood here, she even smiled and blamed Luzhu: "There are a lot of little maids under my command, and they still say such stupid things."

Lu Zhu was not convinced: "This servant loves your mother, she's just here all the time, is it worth your trouble?"

Having said that, everyone still flocked to the master to go to Qixiang Palace. Because the road was far away, they sent warm sedan chairs to travel halfway. At that time, Yuxi had already returned to Yonghe Palace, and then played with Princess Wen Chen for a while. Chun returned from visiting relatives outside the palace.She had been away from the palace for two days, and when she came back to see Si Fujin, she said with a smile: "My servant and my sister-in-law went to the temple to worship Buddha, and prayed for peace amulets for the master, you, and elder brothers and princesses. wear it."

Yuxi said happily: "It is said that folk temples are the most spiritual, how dare I despise them, please come and give them to me."

Huanchun changed her clothes, carefully brought a peace talisman, and talked to Sifu Jin about interesting things outside the palace. Yuxi hadn't left the palace a few times in the two years since she entered the palace. Miss, she never knew much about the streets and alleys, so she was fascinated by it, and Huan Chun smiled: "Si elder brother's mansion will be tidied up in a few months, and after Fujin moves out, he can go shopping often .”

Yuxi shook her head: "There are many people on the road, it would be bad if you meet bad people, I dare not take the girl out alone, unless the fourth elder brother takes me there."

Huan Chun praised: "The empress always said that Fujin is the most reassuring child. With you by my side, the empress doesn't have to worry about anything."

Yuxi smiled happily, but soon something was on her mind, the smile gradually faded, and she murmured: "There is always something I can't do well." She lowered her eyes and said softly to Huanchun after a long while: "Aunt Huanchun Can you do me a favor?"

Huan Chun hurriedly laughed and said: "Fu Jin has broken the slaves, Fujin just give orders."

Yuxi hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Can you help me persuade Er Niang, let her persuade the fourth elder brother to accept side Fujin earlier, even if it is a concubine, the prince side Fujin is pregnant again, and Wen Fujin will start spring It's about to give birth, and the big brother and the third brother are also quite lively, just our house...they love me, but I'm also in a hurry."

Huan Chun didn't know what to do, he could only say: "Fu Jin should feel at ease, as for the servants, they really can't help you, the master has said repeatedly, the servants are not allowed to discuss this matter, even mention it."

Yuxi looked helpless, and sighed softly: "It's only useful if I persuade the fourth elder brother. Next year, I will say that I will choose Fujin for the fifth elder brother. Year after year, the eyes will pass."

At the same time, Lan Qi was sitting in the warm pavilion of Qixiang Palace, the curtain in front of the door was opened, and the imperial doctor came in and knelt down to report Wang Changzai's condition. It was indeed the fever caused by the unclean discharge of lochia, not Wang Changzai as Luzhu had speculated. Chang Zai was tossing on purpose, the imperial doctor said that it would be very dangerous if he didn't recover all the time, and he had to be taken care of these days.

Listening to the imperial doctor's words, Lan Qi inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xi Concubine trembling. Her face was pale, and she seemed to be trying to maintain a calm appearance. Her abnormal behavior really aroused suspicion. Lan Qi asked abruptly, "What's wrong with you?"

Concubine Xi was startled, raised her hand to support the tea table next to her, and pushed the teacup to the ground. The sound of porcelain shattering was very ear-piercing. Come back soon from Yeling, Wang Changzai has always been favored, if there is any mistake, you can't afford it."

The imperial doctor repeatedly kowtowed and agreed, and after she stepped back, Lan Qi asked all the court ladies to leave, and asked Lu Zhu to stand guard in front of the door so that no one else would approach her. Seeing this posture, Concubine Xi was too flustered to look up, while Lan Qi was cold. Said: "There is no one else, there is still time to say something now."

Concubine Xi raised her eyes tremblingly, and muttered, "Empress Concubine De..."

With anger in her eyes, Lan Qi stared at her and asked: "She gave birth smoothly and didn't hurt too much vitality. What did you give her to eat, will it be impossible to get rid of the lochia?"
