Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi also saw Xuan Ye, and saw him standing there with a happy face, hurriedly walked down the stairs, just about to come to salute, when someone came in from outside the door, the eunuch who came saw the emperor and the concubine De concubine standing at the door, couldn't help feeling a little bit Surprised, after gathering his mind, he bent down and went to Eunuch Liang's side.

Lan Qi and Xuan Ye didn't care about it, they went into the house arm in arm, Xuan Ye asked her why she was so happy, and when she heard that it was because of Yinzhen's family affairs, she even joked: "Is there anything else I can do now to make her feel happy?" Do you smile so beautifully?"

But before the joke continued, Eunuch Liang bowed in, frowned slightly and said, "Long live, my slave has something to report." While he was talking, he glanced at Empress Concubine De, and Lan Qi understood, got up and said, "I'm going to make tea for the emperor."

"Don't be in a hurry to drink tea." Xuan Ye took Lan Qi's hand, let her sit back beside him, and casually told Manager Liang, "Speak."

Eunuch Liang was obviously a little embarrassed, and asked the emperor with a probing look, but Xuan Ye said: "What else is there? I planned to tell the empress, you just say it."

Hearing this, Lan Qi knew what the emperor was hiding from her, so she didn't rush to ask, just listened to Eunuch Liang's report, and he said tremblingly: "The imperial physician went to Xianfu Palace again, the imperial concubine is not in good health, the imperial physician If things go on like this, at most one or two years of Yangshou."

Lan Qi's heart tightened, and she couldn't speak for a while, Xuan Ye waved Manager Liang to go down, looked back at her and said: "I found out earlier that you no longer interfere with the affairs of Xianfu Palace, so I didn't let them bother you. you."

Lan Qi lowered her eyes and said nothing, about the matter that the emperor drugged the imperial concubine to make her mad, they did not tell each other, even at this moment, she still didn't want to talk about it.

Xuan Ye stared at her, he knew that matter in his heart, but so what if he brought it up now, the person in front of him cared about him and kept his mouth shut, so what did he care about.

"After Lan Ying entered the door of Niu Hulu's house, she always thought of her husband's family in everything. Even though the noble concubine hurt her so badly, she still respected the noble concubine. Even now, when entering the palace, she must first go to Xianfu Palace to greet her. I see all these things." Xuan Ye said with emotion, "Your daughter from Wu Ya's family has a noble character."

Lan Qi smiled faintly: "The emperor loves her, and she dares not disappoint you."

Xuan Ye smiled and said, "It hurts me to treat her like my own sister." But then he sighed, "Because of this, I can't bully Niu Hulu's family too much, even for Lanying's sake."

Lan Qi bowed: "The concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness on my sister's behalf."

Xuan Ye continued: "The imperial concubine has been sick all year round and there are a lot of gossip outside. I will try my best to satisfy her with the dignity that should be given to her in the last days. You can ask Lanying what their family wants. It is easier to go from you. If I call Ah Ling, it will definitely attract the attention of others."

Lan Qi responded: "The concubine has made a note, Lanying will come to report the affairs of Yinzhen's mansion in a few days, and the concubine entrusts her and Prince Yu Fujin to help take care of it today."

Xuan Ye nodded, and the matter was considered settled, and then he had the heart to ask Lan Qi for tea, but when she went to serve the tea and came back, the emperor was so tired that he fell asleep.Lan Qi put down her things and went out to call Eunuch Liang to ask about the emperor's daily life, only to realize that she stayed up most of the night last night, and of course she didn't summon the harem to serve in Qianqing Palace.

Lan Qi asked Eunuch Liang: "The two newcomers haven't attended the bed yet, and the emperor hasn't summoned them yet? Didn't you mention it before the emperor?"

Director Liang smiled wryly: "My lady, you know that the emperor won't allow this servant to talk too much about the matter above. As for the two newcomers, this servant only knows that Wang Chang has gossiped about the royal lady several times in front of the emperor, saying that she is a dignified woman. Uncle's family style is not right, of course it's because of jealousy and rejection, but the emperor has heard about it, and the slaves dare not ask more questions."

Lan Qi kept silent on her face, but sighed in her heart, whether it was Xuan Ye who doted on her like that, or Wang Changzai who was self-righteous, the only thing she understood was that no matter how arrogant Wang Changzai was to others, no matter how arrogant he was in Qixiang Palace. Don't take Concubine Xi seriously, treat her and Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi respectfully and dare not be disrespectful in the slightest, so even if Concubine Qi hates her so much that she gnashes her teeth, she can't find any reason to take Wang Chang What's going on.

Thinking about these things in his heart, when he came back, he stared blankly at Xuan Ye who was sleeping soundly, his thoughts drifted away. After a while, the emperor woke up and asked her lazily what time it was before the two of them spoke.

But Xuanye ate tea, regained some energy and said: "I remember you said just now that Prince Yu Fujin and Lanying were entrusted to take care of the affairs in Yinzhen's mansion?"

Lan Qi nodded, and Xuan Ye said: "In the future, you will be a little further away from Fuquan's family, but you have been very close to him, Fujin, in the past two years."

"After that incident, Prince Yu, Fujin, came and walked around a lot, and the concubine felt that we could talk, so that's it." Lan Qi didn't ask Xuan Ye why, and agreed after explaining, "Since the emperor said so, the concubine knows what to do. Do it, but if it is not good, it will fade away immediately, people should be surprised, the emperor will give my concubine some time."

Xuan Ye was very relieved, nodded and didn't speak, and didn't want to get up lazily, but was dragged up by Lan Qi again and again, saying that there are ministers waiting to see, the emperor can't hide in the Yonghe Palace and not go out, Xuan Ye was pushed towards the door by her Going out, he stood still and said, "How about coming to Qianqing Palace to have dinner with me at night?"

Lan Qi pushed him out, called Huan Chun loudly, and said to her: "Quickly ask your Long Live Lord, what do you want to eat at night?"

That night, when Concubine De concubine brought food to Qianqing Palace to serve dinner, Yuan Xu was just coming out from where she lived, and took the little Wang who was almost forgotten there all the way to Changchun Palace. When he came back from the study, he happened to meet him, because the mother concubine had a family member there, so he sent Baoyun to pay her respects.Not long after Baoyun came back with two bowls of food, he said that it was rewarded by Concubine Hui. Tonight, some sisters from her place gathered together, and asked the eighth elder brother not to go there.

The eighth elder brother washed his hands in a hurry and was going to study after dinner, so he asked Baoyun casually: "The person who followed Yuan promised is very young, I have never met him before, which family's lady is he?"

Bao Yun said with a smile: "Eighth elder brother only cares about studying, and doesn't inquire about the affairs of the palace. This one entered the palace with Chen Changzai from Zhongcui Palace, and she is an official woman."

The eighth elder brother uttered an ooh, and Baoyun smiled again: "Among the girls from the Han family who came to Beijing with her, two of them went to the fourth elder brother's residence. You must have met those two."

"Li Fangfujin and Song Gege." The two eighth elder brothers really knew each other, and they thought in their hearts, Huang Ama's concubines are all the same age as his daughter-in-law, so should they be younger than him in the future?

Bao Yun said happily: "Next month, the fifth elder brother's marriage will be completed, and we will be waiting for you and the seventh elder brother. I am really curious about which lady will be our eighth brother."

Yinhu blamed her for not going out of the palace with her in the future, so whoever became her own Fujin has nothing to do with her, the two were joking, a boy ran in front of the door, behind him was the unstoppable eunuch in front of the door, talking all the way : "Brother Ten, wait..."

"You guys go down." Seeing the tenth brother standing in front of him with a sad face, Yinhu was very calm, ordered the eunuch to go down, and asked Baoyun to tell Concubine Hui, and then went to Ningshou Palace to see if there were any people there. Knowing Elder Brother Ten, he pulled his younger brother to sit down and asked him, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Elder Brother Ten suddenly burst into tears, big teardrops hung down, wiped away and then choked up: "Myna, I heard from people in Ningshou Palace that my mother-in-law is dying soon, myna, I want to see her."

Yinhu was very surprised, and asked him: "What is dying, the imperial concubine is sick?"

Concubine Wen's serious illness is still a truth that cannot be publicized. Three days later, when Lan Ying entered the palace, her sister told her about it, but since she was pregnant, her sister did not allow her to go to Xianfu Palace. She was afraid that the imperial concubine would go crazy and hurt her. Ying herself was also cautious, at most she would just bow in front of the door and leave. Now that she heard that the imperial concubine was dying, she couldn't help but feel sad, and kept saying that although the imperial concubine used to be hateful, she was still a member of Niu Hulu's family, and their family was not easy. .

Lan Qi said: "The emperor said that summoning Ah Ling and Ah Yi attracted people's attention, but it caused Ah Ling a trouble. So I want to ask you, you go back and ask Ah Ling, is there anything the Niu Hulu family wants?" , In the last days of the imperial concubine, there is still some dignity to be had."

Lan Ying smiled: "Your Majesty is very kind."

"Yeah, the emperor said it's for your sake." Lan Qi said, but her heart was pounding. It's best for my sister to never know that Xuan Ye drugged the noble concubine to make her crazy.

But just after talking about these things, the pregnant woman suddenly felt restless, causing Lan Qi to immediately summon the imperial physician for her. Fortunately, it was only a false alarm. When she was asking the imperial physician something, another imperial physician came from the imperial hospital. Huan Chun smiled and said: "Here It's all right, sir, please go back."

The visitor bent his knees and told him that he just came back from the fourth elder brother's mansion outside the palace. Lan Qi felt nervous when she heard that, and thought that Yuxi was not in good health, but she heard the imperial doctor say: "Song Gege in the fourth elder brother's mansion is happy. I have come here to express my congratulations to Concubine De."

Sure enough, not long after, Qinglian hastily followed from outside the palace, she wanted to announce the good news to the empress, but the imperial physician took the lead, she said joyfully: "This imperial physician actually robbed the servant girl."

Lan Qi was very happy, although for more than two years, it was said that Si Fujin was not in good health, but it was inevitable that some people liked to gossip and deliberately spread ugly words, saying that Si elder brother could not.She held back that tone all the time, thinking that it would be a joke to make people laugh. After waiting day after day, she finally waited for the blessing of Guanyin, no matter whether Song Gege's status is low or not. Those who are mean should shut up too.

The next day Si elder brother and Si Fujin entered the palace together, Yinzhen nodded in front of Erniang and hurried to the study room, he left mother-in-law and daughter-in-law but it was easier to talk, Lan Qi comforted Yuxi and said: "It can be regarded as your wish has been fulfilled, When Mrs. Song gives birth to a child, she will be raised in your house, you don't have to pity her, this is the rule."

Yu Xi quietly agreed, and Lan Qi said again: "You don't need to be too expensive to wait on the day of confinement, it will make it difficult to give birth, she is just a concubine, don't treat her like a master for a child, the more you If she doesn't care, she will understand her own dignity more."

"Emiang, don't worry." There was a natural nobility in Yuxi's eyes, "The only mistress in the fourth elder brother's house is the son-in-law."
