Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Stupid boy, what's the matter?" Lan Qi hugged her daughter-in-law in her arms, and it's a common thing to be intimate with Yuxi, but her daughter-in-law's words and deeds are always measured, and she is rarely so emotional. She and Yinzhen occasionally Bickering and bickering, even if they came here to act coquettishly and complain, they wouldn't look like this.Holding the child's body and feeling her trembling slightly, the mother-in-law was really worried, and asked repeatedly, "Who bullied you, tell the mother-in-law."

Huan Chun hurriedly sent the others out, and waited in front of the door for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to talk, Yuxi gradually calmed down, sat upright beside Lan Qi, and said softly, "Emiang, I'm scared." She didn't cry loudly, but she couldn't stop her tears. She said that she was afraid of newcomers coming in, that Yinzhen would change her mind in the future, that those concubines would fight her in the future, and that she didn't want to live a life like Wen Fujin's. , and the third elder brother's family has not stopped since Ce Fujin came in, and she doesn't want to live like San Fujin, but she can't imagine what the future will be like, and she always thought that she could face it. Some can't bear it.

Lan Qi listened patiently, and when she had finished speaking in one breath, she smiled softly: "Your mother is at home and has kept the house in perfect condition, those skills must have been on you unconsciously, and my mother is not I'm worried that you won't do well in the future, but now you will be afraid, which is perfectly normal. You won't know how the future will be until later, and it's meaningless to talk big and empty words now. Er Niang is afraid that you will be bullied, so she went to see you quietly before The young lady of the Li family realized after looking at it that what she could see with one or two glances was just to comfort herself."

Yuxi looked at her mother-in-law timidly, and murmured: "Emiang, is she pretty?"

Lan Qi squinted her eyes and smiled: "Most of the girls from the Han family are beautiful, and they are a little more outstanding..." Seeing Yuxi's tense face, Lan Qi laughed loudly, hugged her daughter-in-law, and asked her in a low voice, "Look at the empresses in the palace, which one is the prettiest?"

Yuxi was startled, she wanted to tell the truth but didn't dare to say it, instead Lan Qi guided her: "Your Juechan and Wang Changzai are both prettier than Erniang, right? Your empress is also a stunning beauty, right? On the contrary, Erniang Mother, it's just ordinary beauty."

"Er Niang is very beautiful." Yuxi whispered.

Lan Qi nodded generously: "Emiang is confident that in the eyes of your Emma, ​​she is beautiful, but this beauty is not just a simple appearance. Yuxi, in the future, your tolerance and generosity towards your servant will be as good as Yinzhen's." Being gentle and considerate will make you more and more beautiful in his eyes, even if one day the years leave marks on your face, it will not destroy your appearance in his heart."

Yuxi pursed her lips, still uneasy, "But..."

After a gentle explanation, Lan Qi suddenly turned serious and told her seriously: "But all of this requires Yinzhen to be a good man who is affectionate and righteous. If one day he treats you ruthlessly, then all of this will be gone. The important thing is that he doesn't have you in his heart, and you can't do anything to get into his eyes, let alone his heart, at that time, you can only learn to give up and live in the position you should have."

"Er Niang?" Yuxi was terrified.

Lan Qi said calmly: "Emiang is with such intentions to be by the emperor's side. If one day your Empress Ama no longer has Eniang's place in her heart, Emiang will guard this Yonghe Palace carefully, for herself and her children. Save a bit of decency, otherwise if you fight for it, you will only be covered in bruises and become even more embarrassing."

With tears in her eyes, Yuxi looked at her mother-in-law aggrievedly, and asked in fear: "Will Yinzhen treat me like that?"

Lan Qi smiled and said: "One day, Emiang will protect your dignity, but it is your own responsibility not to let that day come. Yuxi, you must know that he has you in his heart, no matter how many concubines he has, he is not afraid , if he doesn't have you in his heart, even if there is only you by his side, life will not be easy. What you should do now is to cherish everything in front of you. Er Niang said so many cruel things, not to scare you, but to make you cherish the present even more happiness."

Yuxi nodded in confusion, still feeling uneasy and apprehensive, but it's better to say it than to keep it in her heart, her body is much more relaxed than when she entered the door, after she calmed down, when she talked about Wen Fujin's experience, Lan Qi frowned, admonishing her daughter-in-law : "Don't tell others these words again, just pretend you haven't heard it."

"Why is the Empress Dowager so indifferent to Wen Fujin? Is it because of the side Fujin who spoke ill of Wen Fujin in front of the Empress Dowager? Why does the Empress Dowager listen and believe?" Yuxi was very puzzled. In her opinion, it was obviously Wen Fujin. Fujin is even more pitiful, and her cousin is too deceitful.

Lan Qi smiled and said: "You are just listening to what Wen Fujin said, sometimes what you see may not be true, not to mention that this is someone else's housework and has nothing to do with us. We may not be able to have the happiness of others, We will definitely not have the tragedies of others, and live our own lives well.”

After talking a lot about similar things, Lan Qi patiently explained to her daughter-in-law, until the evening when she heard that the crown prince came back from Nanyuan, she comforted the queen mother, and brought Wen Fujin back to Yuqing Palace.And the fourth elder brother who came back with the prince also came to pick up his wife back to the residence. Seeing his wife's red eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little worried on her face. Lan Qi laughed at her: "Are you thinking that Er Niang bullied her?"

Yinzhen often felt that Erniang was better at acting like a baby than his wife, and he was used to dealing with these jokes. Besides, because of the fact that the concubine had an extra character, he said a few words of disrespect to Erniang, and he felt guilty all the time. The two talked for half an hour before leaving.

Lan Qi stood in front of the door of the Nuan Pavilion and watched Huan Chun send them all the way out. When she came back, Huan Chun saw her in a daze, so she helped her into the door, only to hear the master muttering: "Everything is up to others." Clearly, if it falls on me, I will only be confused. What's more, Yuxi has just passed through human affairs, and I have been by the emperor's side for so many years, and now there are still many things that I still can't let go of. "

After that day, the empress dowager and the emperor still gave Wen Fujin some rewards to appease her pain of losing her daughter. The prince was even more considerate to her, and everyone in the palace knew that the prince liked Wen Fujin more, and there were rumors that it was Fang Fujin who did it. The poisoning of Wen Fujin and the child made the two of them in Yuqing Palace even more at odds than before.And as Wen Fujin said to Yuxi, she has nothing, but she has the heart of a prince, no matter how much Fujin troubles him, he is destined to be unable to win against her.

At the end of February, Li Fangfujin and Song Gege entered the fourth elder brother's house, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately informed the fourth elder brother that the house was completed and could move in. After discussing with Xuan Ye, Lan Qi calculated the furnishing and other things that needed to be prepared in the house The day was set for them to move out on the second day of April.

In the blink of an eye, it was March, and Chen Changzai and Wang's family entered the palace. Concubine Rong arranged for them to live together in the place where Wang Changzai and Yuan promised.

After the two newcomers entered the palace that day, they first went to Ningshou Palace to salute the Empress Dowager, and then they had to go to Xianfu Palace according to the rules. First go to Yikun Palace to salute Concubine Yi.

Lan Qi was waiting in Jingyang Palace to meet the newcomer with Concubine Rong, but Ji Xin said freshly, "Mistress Xi brought Wang Chang together to meet the bridegroom in Concubine Yi's room. The words offend, Wang Changzai actually asked his cousin to kneel outside the gate of Yikun Palace to apologize to Concubine Yi, now I heard that Chen Changzai went to Changchun Palace alone, and then he will come to East Sixth Palace."

"It's just an official girl. In the future, even the more famous court ladies and eunuchs will bully her." Concubine Rong sighed, "If the Wang family has no favors in the future, life in this palace will be very difficult."

Lan Qi remained silent, while Concubine Rong rambled on, "Wang Changzai is too self-righteous, so I will make rules for my cousin. Isn't she afraid that the emperor will like the new and dislike the old, and will fall in love with Xiao Wang in the future. If the cousin overpowers her one day, Will she end up with Xi Concubine?"

Lan Qi heard these words sporadically, she dealt with them casually and didn't take it to heart. When Chen Changzai came from the East Sixth Palace, she saw a young woman walking in from the door, although she was already a palace concubine. Dressed up, and full of girlish air, Lan Qi heard Concubine Rong sigh, one must know that her Princess Rongxian is a few years older than these young ones.And Lan Qi's own daughter-in-law is also older than Chen Changzai.

Chen Changzai entered the palace for the first time, although someone in the palace had been sent to teach the rules, but walking down from one place to another, not only did she not become familiar with it, but she was even more afraid and timid. The expression on her face ruined her beauty, and she didn't look very eye-catching.

Concubine Rong whispered in Lan Qi's ear: "The two newcomers in Brother Si's house are much prettier than her. It's a pity I didn't see the other one. They all said that one was prettier than Wang Changzai."

Lan Qi smiled without saying a word, and when Chen Changzai saluted, Concubine Rong asked her some polite words, Chen replied politely, but her voice was trembling all the time, but although there was timidity and fear on her face, there was no trace of it in her expression. Humble and cowardly, his eyes are clear and bright, and in his trembling gaze, a bit of strength passes by from time to time.

Perhaps it was because of some impressions of Chen's family during the southern tour in the past. The emperor also praised Chen Changzai's father. : "If I remember correctly, Sister Rong and I have met Chen Changzai's Er Niang, we've talked before."

Concubine Rong tilted her head and thought for a long time, her memory has long been blurred, and she had seen many wives of officials during the southern tour, and she had little impression of Chen Changzai's mother, but Lan Qi said to herself: "Chen Changzai It's very similar to her mother-in-law, both of whom are Jiangnan beauties."

Speaking of his mother, it was the first time that Chen Changzai dared to look directly at the legendary concubine. Seeing her kind smile on her face, he couldn't help laughing, and said happily: "What your mother said is that since childhood People in the family say that the concubine looks exactly like the mother, if the mother knows that the empress remembers her, she must be very happy."
