Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Mrs. Song stared at Li Fujin with a reluctant expression on her face. Seeing that she was about to look at her, she looked away and said to Yuxi, "Fujin doesn't have to worry about his concubine. The house has all the nuns and maids. The doctor Wen Po is also here to wait for orders, it is just a matter of finding a reliable wet nurse, if you are not in the mansion, there is really no need for Sister Li to do anything for my concubine."

Li Fangfujin's eyes darkened, and he didn't speak or look at her, while Yuxi said indifferently: "However, it is good that the condition of the noble concubine Jiren Tianxiang has improved, so that such a big matter can be avoided, so I can take care of her at home with peace of mind You and the child."

Seeing Fujin looking at her stomach, Song Gege subconsciously took it back, she knew what Fujin meant, after the baby was born, it had nothing to do with her, she couldn't just come to the main courtyard casually, Fujin didn't nod She couldn't even stand in front of the door, which meant that it would be difficult for her to take a look at the child raised here in the future.

But she was lucky, she was pregnant with the fourth elder brother's first child, and Fujin didn't bear it herself, so of course she was counting on the child in her womb, I'm afraid she would never want to come back in this life, no matter if it was a boy or a girl.

The two retreated from Fujin's room, and the girls and mothers surrounded Song Gege densely. She remembered Fujin's look just now, and she couldn't help being agitated, pointing at the people around her and scolding: "Go away, I can tell you all." But you are angry, do you want to suffocate me?"

Everyone quickly moved away, and Li Fang Fujin just followed slowly behind him, smiling gently at her: "Sister, don't be so irritable, she will be impatient after giving birth to a child in the future, look at how gentle and demure Fujin is."

Song Gege sneered at her: "Sister Li's words are strange. Why does the child have to resemble Fujin?"

Li Fang Fujin smiled and said: "Our children are all Fujin's children. As Fujin's aunt, what's so strange about the children's similarity to her personality? I heard that pregnant women should not be impatient, and it is not good for themselves and their children. I have the incense of tranquility and tranquility in my place, and I will send you some later."

Song Gege turned his face away and said: "Don't worry about my sister, how dare you work hard to bring things." He greeted the girls beside him, and helped them walk away swaggeringly.

The servant girl who followed Li Fangfujin was the one who brought her to the capital from her home. She was originally the daughter of the nurse at home, and she was named Qiaozhu at the same age as her. It’s just that she’s pregnant, it seems like she’s the only one who can give birth, what’s so great about having a baby.”

"She should be proud. In this fourth prince's mansion, being able to bear children is a credit." A cold light flashed across Li Fang Fujin's eyes, "Why are we here? It's not because Fujin doesn't have children. We came here to give birth to her. .”

Qiaozhu smiled and said: "Marriage is what Long Live Lord is referring to. Didn't you also say that coming to the Fourth Prince's Mansion is the best result compared to entering the palace or going to another house? Anyway, you were sent here, so you have no choice. Now that the best place has come down, just live in peace of mind. Besides, the fourth elder brother treats you very well, and he doesn't want to see you, but it's just that Song Gege is a bit ostentatious, and it seems that the fourth elder brother likes her."

Li Fangfujin smiled faintly: "I hope so." While speaking, his eyes cast towards Song Gege who was going away, his red lips moved slightly, as if uttering a few words, Qiaozhu beside him couldn't hear clearly, as if saying: "She gave birth This, let’s retire.”

A gust of wind blew by, and a few dead leaves on the tree withered, Qiao Zhu shivered and said, "Miss, let's go back, the autumn in the north is really cold early."

After the fall, gusts of wind and rain have urged the footsteps of the cold winter. This year, there were many droughts and floods in the country in summer and autumn. Before the winter, the emperor was busy with disaster relief. Last year, Lan Qi still remembered that the emperor happily told her that the Jiangnan tax bank had been overturned. Double, this year everyone in Qianqing Palace is frowning, it doesn't look good.

Lan Qi didn't dare to ask more about this matter, but when her son came in to say hello to her, she felt sorry for his son's hard work in preparing delicate and delicious meals for him. The Ministry of Internal Affairs took a look at the accounts of the harem, and found that the money under some items was not worth the money. Since Er Niang and the Concubine Rong are in charge of the Sixth Palace, how can these items not be reduced, so as to save a lot of money for Huang Ama. "

Lan Qi heard it both angry and funny, and said to him: "You are young now, you take everything for granted, Er Niang doesn't blame you for talking against me, when you hit a wall outside yourself, you will know how difficult it is to do things. In such a huge Forbidden City, there are so many mouths to eat and drink, and so many things waiting to be done by others. If it weren’t for me and your lady Rong taking care of it, the cost would be even higher, and you can blame us. Thanks to the empress Rong’s pain You, behind your back, tell you to say no."

Yinzhen hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Emiang can't go and tell Concubine Rong, I'm just asking, and Yuxi often says at home that I don't know the price of firewood and rice when I'm not in charge of the family, don't be offended."

Lan Qi then asked him if his family was doing well, if Song's fetus was safe and so on.You know, in order not to make Song Shi feel proud, she has never cared about Song Shi's fetus, and she doesn't want to make people feel that she cares about her son's offspring.In this way, one is for others to see, and the other is for the daughter-in-law to see. She always thinks that if she treats Yuxi well, her daughter-in-law will treat Yinzhen wholeheartedly. For a long time.

In a blink of an eye, the first snow fell, and the jacket and cloak made in the old year hadn't had time to wear, and this year's new ones were rushed to be sent up. Originally, as my son said, some expenses could be reduced, but if the nobles of the Tianjia If you can't even make a single piece of clothing, you're embarrassing the emperor.And the money of the imperial court is not so tight, it is just to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Now is the time when Kangxi is in full swing, so how can the concubines in the harem not dress decently.

But for these jackets and big cloaks, the new cotton is old, and the animal skins are afraid of being bitten by insects. They are kept in the Yonghe Palace year after year and they can't be put away. By the way, take them to the house, and after some of the things from the past few years have been figured out, they will be sent to the fourth elder brother's mansion, and let Yuxi and Li shi pick them up. If anyone likes them, they can keep them and wear them.

Although the Li family and the Song family came from the prosperous south of the Yangtze River, their families were not noble and powerful. They had rarely seen the items used in the imperial system. When Fujin asked them to choose, both of them were very happy, but Yuxi She grew up in the capital since she was a child, went to the noble mansion, and lived in the palace for two years. She has never seen anything good. Although her mother-in-law gave her a rare gift, she saw the two concubines full of joy, so she let them choose.

Song's personality is flamboyant, since Fujin asked them to choose together, she was not polite, and she rushed to take it when she saw the beautiful ones. Although Fujin Li was not reconciled and did not dare to show greed in front of Fujin, she had to endure it.

After returning, Qiaozhu shook off the two jackets in front of the door, and the satin embroidered with gold and silver silk glistened in the sun. She fondled her fondly and tsk-tsk: "The servant girl will only stay at Elder Brother's house for a while. Seeing that the ladies in the palace are all dressed up very nicely, I have always wanted to see how the ladies wear in the inner palace. Miss, you can see that the concubine de concubine only wears such homely clothes, and they are all so elegant. It can be seen that the palace is a fairyland on earth. .”

She said for a long time that the master did not answer, and when she turned around, she saw the young lady lying on the table and clutching her chest, Qiaozhu hurried over to ask what was wrong, Li Fangfujin held her down and counted the days with her fingers, flustered Looking at Qiaozhu carefully, he said, "I haven't received a monthly letter for half a month late."

Qiaozhu was very excited, and asked frizzily: "Miss, do you have it?"

Li Fangfujin told her to be quiet, frowned and said: "If it's not, it should be laughed at. I want to find out from the doctor first."

Qiaozhu muttered: "Where are we going to find a doctor? Fujin said that you are too young, and now you are not even allowed to go out casually. The slaves have been in Beijing for so long, and they have never even seen what the capital looks like."

Of course this is not the time to say these words, Li Fangfujin struggled to get up, went to the inner room to dig out the box where he saved his money, picked out two big ones and stuffed them into Qiaozhu, saying: "If you don't go outside to find another one, you Find the person who took Song Gege’s pulse. Anyway, if I have it, it’s a good thing. If I don’t, it’s just that I’m not feeling well and ask him to go. You can give him the money later, and now call him to take care of me. , should also be assigned.”

But I didn't want the doctor to make a trip like this, and Li Fangfujin was really pregnant. Li Shi was overjoyed, and also rewarded a generous amount of money, but said to the doctor: "There is a rule in my family, and the pregnancy will not be announced within three months. , this is my first child, so I should be more cautious. Right now Song Gege is expecting to give birth. If I say that I am pregnant again, she may feel that I have to take care of her. Why don't you serve Song Gege wholeheartedly? After giving birth, I will be around three months old, and I will be able to announce the good news."

The doctor thought that this was true, and received a generous amount of silver, so he agreed to Li Fangfujin's words, while saying some exhortations as usual, referring to future childbirth, saying that it is best to have a full-term childbirth, otherwise the child will be born prematurely and the child will not be able to keep it. First, pregnant women themselves will also be harmed, so please take good care of them in the next year.

Mrs. Li wrote down all these words, and after sending the doctor away, there was no abnormality in the mansion two days later, so Doctor An Xin did not publicize the matter, but at this time, news came from the palace that the imperial concubine and empress had passed away. When he was dying, someone from the main courtyard sent a message, saying that Fujin had entered the palace, and asked Li Fang Fujin to take care of the family affairs, and Fujin would be back in a few days.

Hearing that Fujin left home to enter the palace and would return in a few days, a strange gleam flashed in Li's eyes, as soon as the messenger left, she suddenly asked Qiaozhu: "When did the doctor say Song Gege was born?"

Qiaozhu replied, "It's in the twelfth lunar month."

At this time, in the deep palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started to prepare for the imperial concubine's funeral in advance. There are imperial doctors coming and going in and out of Xianfu Palace from morning to night. People from Niu Hulu's family have also come to worship. Yuxi entered the palace today. , Lan Qi brought her over together, and casually asked on the way: "Will they be okay after you leave home?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "Qinglian is at home, nothing will happen." As if she didn't want Eriang to ask more about the family affairs, she deliberately mentioned, "Did my little aunt come to see the imperial concubine?"
