Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"The concubine heard Yuan promised that Wang Chang had a hard time in the past, so now she has become more bullying." Xiao Wang lowered her eyes and said softly, "The concubine hates her in her heart, but she thinks of the family's suffering. Uncle takes care of the financial aid, forget it. She didn't come to see the sky, and she probably thought of her concubine when she was unhappy."

Lan Qi likes to deal with sensible people, so she doesn't need to talk around, so she asked her directly: "You are so good-looking, if the emperor likes you in the future, when you become a celebrity in front of Shengjia, will you be the same?" Will it become like she is now?"

Xiao Wang's eyes were confused, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I want to be a good person."

The Wang family and Yuan family back then also looked like innocent and pitiful little rabbits. Who would have thought that they would become what they are today, and none of those who once looked down on them as Han women and bullied and excluded them now It is better than them. Things and people in the Forbidden City often cannot distinguish between good and bad, good and evil. It is not easy to keep a clear mind.

Lan Qi looked at her with a smile: "Wang Changzai is pregnant now, the emperor can't be left alone to wait around, maybe the emperor will think of you after a while, in the future, you have to take good care of yourself."

Mrs. Wang left her seat, prostrated herself and said, "Your Majesty is kind to my concubine, and I will never forget it, but my concubine does not expect to be the emperor's favorite. Although Yuan promised that she would not be bullied by her again, The best way is to let myself replace her, but will she give up easily? Chenqie thinks that she will only become more and more entangled, and Chenqie will not be able to get rid of her in her future life. "

Lan Qi nodded: "You think clearly."

Seeing that her words were understood by Concubine De, the royal lady smiled and said firmly: "There are so many concubines and concubines in the palace, the emperor has no shortage of servants and concubines to serve him alone. Don't you think so?"

Lan Qi said: "The emperor does not need you alone to serve, but what if the emperor wants you?" She signaled Xiao Wang to get up, and said with a smile, "I saw you in Xianfu Palace that day in thin clothes, so I asked the people below to inquire. I just realized that you are often bullied. Since I am in charge of the sixth house, it is my duty to let you live in peace. I have been negligent in the past, and I can’t be careless in the future. I sent you a few things urgently before, but I came here today , I just came here because I knew she was coming to bully you."

"My lady..."

"Even if your status is low, you are still the emperor's woman in the Forbidden City. Even if there is a difference in status, you can't resist her, and don't let yourself become anyone's slave. Here, you have only one master, and that is the emperor." Lan Qi said seriously , got up and seemed to be leaving, waited for Huanchun and others to put on their cloaks, and smiled at Xiao Wang, "Today you are in trouble, I can reach out to save you, if you bully others in the future, I can also govern you with family laws and rules. Remember what you said today, I will not let others bully you, but how you live in the future is entirely up to you. "

Xiao Wang is smart, and every word of the adage is in his heart, and he bowed deeply and said: "My concubine, please remember."

Everyone flocked to Empress Concubine De to go out, Lan Qi signaled her to stay and don't leave, after all Wang Changzai was still standing outside in the wind, Lan Qi went outside, deliberately pretending to remember her, and when she arrived in front of Wang, He said with a smile: "I was happy talking with your cousin, but I forgot about you."

It took a long time for the royal woman to tuck her hair and change her clothes, and then she talked to Lan Qi. She sat for half an hour, and Wang Chang was left standing under the eaves in her single clothes. The northwest wind took her beautiful face One part was white and the other was red from the cold, and he was shivering all over, and he couldn't even move his mouth when he wanted to answer a question.

"Go back earlier, you are pregnant, the snowy road is not easy to walk on, so be careful." Lan Qi put down this sentence gently, and left with the people around her, waiting for all the people in the Yonghe Palace to leave The people who followed Wang Changzai swarmed up and wrapped Wang Changzai tightly with a cloak. Several palace maids hugged her together, but they couldn't hold her and fell down. Everyone was so frightened that they wanted to announce the imperial doctor, and they were in a hurry. After carrying her back, a group of people left in a mess, and the yard was immediately quiet.

The little Wang leaned against the door and watched these scenes secretly, and the little maid behind her came up and said: "The child in Wang Chang's belly will be fine, will the empress be implicated? Will the empress put the crime on on us?"

"How could it be? Empress is not that kind of person." She frowned, "There are so many people watching, not to mention someone like my cousin, if she has this opportunity to bite Empress Defei, will she let it go easily?"

Sure enough, within a long time, rumors spread in the palace, saying that the concubine De concubine punished Wang to stand in the snow wearing single clothes, and she had a high fever from the cold, and the fetus in her stomach was also in danger. Everyone thought that Wang was pregnant. No matter what, the emperor's heir should be the most important thing. In such a cold day, Concubine De was really ruthless.

The Empress Dowager sent someone from Ningshou Palace to ask Lan Qi why she punished Wang Changzai. The Empress Dowager did not want to blame her, but if something happened to the child in Wang's womb, Lan Qi would become a sinner and annoyed her With a noble status, why bother to argue with someone who is always there.Lan Qi went to the Queen Mother to explain in person, the mother and son talked for a long time, and when she came out of Ningshou Palace again, she met Sister Rong on the way.

Concubine Rong also said the same thing, and said anxiously: "I was afraid of their bluff, so I took a special look at it. Wang Chang's face was flushed and his hands were hot. You said this is really good or bad. How do you explain it to the emperor?"

Lan Qi said coldly: "I just asked her to wait outside, I didn't tell her to wear only unlined clothing, she couldn't remember to dress warmer, what's the matter with me? Sister, don't worry, if the emperor really cares, I will say the same It doesn't matter if he wants to spoil his woman, but I still need to take care of Liugong Taiping, if not, let them take care of it, and we will be quiet."

Concubine Rong scolded: "You can't talk to the emperor well, if you are so aggressive, you can talk to me. Don't be too self-righteous, he is the emperor."

Lan Qi knew that Concubine Rong was kind, and the words just now were half a joke, so she said seriously at the moment: "I didn't do anything wrong, let's take a look first, maybe she just got hot from the cold, and it will be fine after a while? This matter has nothing to do with Sister Rong, just watch from the sidelines, if I am really punished by the emperor, will you help me?"

Concubine Rong said: "When you came out of Ningshou Palace, you have already got the gold medal for avoiding death. If the emperor cares about you, the queen mother is still there, isn't it?"

The two smiled knowingly, parted ways halfway, Lan Qi returned to Yonghe Palace, and after resting for half an hour, people from Qianqing Palace came.

Eunuch Liang's apprentice came and said that the emperor asked Concubine De if she was frozen, and Lan Qi replied that she was fine, so the eunuch was going back to report.Huanchun sent the man away, and came back worriedly: "Mother, why did the emperor come to ask you if you are frozen? It's just a half sentence, nothing else. This servant is not at ease."

"Probably he thought we were talking together standing in the snow." Lan Qi hugged the thick blanket and asked lazily, "How about Qixiang Palace?"

Huan Chun resented: "The imperial doctor came in and out, looking at bluffing people, and the servants inquired that Wang Changzai was very bad, but who knows if it's true or not." She leaned on the master again and said, "But Xi Concubine The empress sent the news to the Qianqing Palace, but the emperor didn't even send anyone, let alone Sheng Jia came in person."

"Well." Lan Qi replied lazily, "If he goes, he won't even think about entering the gate of Yonghe Palace."

Huanchun was taken aback by this remark, and didn't dare to ask any more questions. Seeing that the master was sleepy, she left quietly, and ordered the little maid to stand guard in front of the door and listen. He sent someone to inquire about the movement in Qixiang Palace, but the news that came back slowly changed the direction of the wind.

Originally, those who were investigating why the Concubine De concubine wanted to punish Wang Changzai gradually spread the news about Wang Changzai abusing the palace concubine. They made a noise in one place and followed in several places. The time palace was discussing why the concubine De concubine should blame Wang Changzai so much, but now there are rumors everywhere that she bullies others with cruelty, even more than the nobles in the past.

At the beginning Ping Gui was domineering, it was just because of her natural temperament, and relying on her noble family background, but at that time the emperor didn't pay attention to little Hesheli at all, she was not favored, and others hated her so much more simply.Later, when she was favored, she restrained herself a lot. In the eyes of the palace people, she lost her son and was killed by an assassin, so now they feel a little more sympathy for her.

But Wang Changzai, a woman who was sent in as a gift, not only won the favor, but also gave birth to the prince, robbed the favor of those noble concubines, and compared them all, and now she is defiant and even viciously abuses the palace. Concubine, others' hatred for her is much more complicated and deeper.

When the sky was getting darker, it seemed that the imperial physicians in Qixiang Palace were no longer so lively. They kept saying that Wang Changzai was frozen, and they didn't say anything about the fetus. Just staring at it all the time.The discussion in the palace gradually subsided, and they tossed and watched for a long time. Except for Qianqing Palace sending people to Yonghe Palace, the emperor didn't make a sound at all, until everyone was about to wonder what was going on with Wang Changzai's favor. So he sent Eunuch Liang to Qixiang Palace to inquire without any haste.

But on the other side, the imperial dining room has already arranged to send the food to the Yonghe Palace, and the imperial chariot is ready in front of the Qianqing Palace. Looking at the scene, the emperor should go to the Yonghe Palace to rest.

After Lan Qi woke up from a sweet sleep, she saw Zhang Luo preparing meals outside, but she just watched impatiently, waiting for the emperor to arrive outside, she glanced outside, and waited inside the door with Huan Chun and others, Huan Chun Can't help but ask: "Ma'am, don't we go out to pick up the driver?"

Lan Qi said: "Didn't the Emperor say that you should not stand outside and wait in the cold weather?"

While talking, Xuan Ye came in with a chill in his body, and smiled when he saw her: "I really sent Shi 34 to accompany the Queen Mother, let's have a clean meal."

Lan Qi untied the cloak on Xuan Ye's body, and the maid next to her handed over a hot handkerchief. She took it and wiped Xuan Ye's hands, then dragged him into the room, saying, "Why did you bring the imperial meal here again? do not like to eat."

Xuan Ye followed behind her and said, "I think it's too ostentatious to look so ostentatious, lest they all stretch their necks to see, it's so pitiful."
