Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The royal woman's eyebrows were curved, and she said with a smile: "I'm growing up. The clothes my mother gave me didn't fit me well. Now I'm wearing them just fine, but my belly is getting bigger and bigger, so I can't wear them."

Lan Qi sat down with her, asked some important questions, and then brought the imperial physician to show her in front of her face, because royal women live in a regular and light diet, and their fetuses and themselves are in excellent condition, the imperial physician invited Concubine De Don't worry, the empress, Lan Qi rewarded the person who served Xiao Wang, and then told her: "Just take care of your health and don't worry about other things."

Mrs. Wang was very grateful, but she heard Defei Niang said: "With the emperor's consent, during the Dragon Boat Festival, I asked someone to bring some things to your mother. I heard that the family is very good now. People, always You have to rely on yourself. When you give birth to this child safely, the Empress Dowager will definitely favor you and raise you as a promise. If there is a prince or queen’s biological mother in the local area, your father and mother will definitely receive preferential treatment, so you don’t have to rely on you Uncle helps."

"Your Majesty?" The royal lady couldn't believe these words, she was anxious to stand up and thank the Empress Defei, Huanchun and the others pushed her down early, Lan Qi looked at her quietly, but Xiao Wang said, "My lady, please don't worry. The concubine will not forget her past duties because of this, and she will not deliberately provoke Wang Changzai. How the concubine lived in the past will be the same in the future."

"I don't need to remember this, you just need to remember it yourself." Lan Qi's words were gentle, but her momentum put enough pressure on Xiao Wang, "Whether the child in your womb is a princess or an elder brother, whether it is raised in the elder brother's house or Under the knees of other empresses, you are always her biological mother. Your words and deeds will have a great influence on them. You can have status, but you can't be lowly in conduct. From now on in this palace, not only for yourself, but also for your children Think about it."

The lady of the royal official was very helpful, and she bowed deeply and said: "I have some advice from the empress, and the concubine's state of mind is clear. This palace can't control other people's thoughts, but I can control myself."

Lan Qi was very happy to see her so transparent, because it was not suitable to stay for a long time, she took her away after a few words of advice.But on the way back to the palace, he ordered Huanchun to call the people from the House of Internal Affairs. The people there thought that the Concubine De concubine had something important to do, so they came in a hurry, but they were reprimanded.Said that they dared to deploy people from elder brother's office to Qixiang Palace, and immediately ordered them to withdraw everyone back to elder brother's office. Qixiang Palace was not in a hurry for these two days.

The concubine de concubine has always treated her servants preferentially. As long as the Ministry of Internal Affairs does its work conscientiously, it will rarely be blamed. This time, it is thought that there is the emperor's will and there will be no mistakes. The palace withdrew its staff, and Wang Changzai, who was potbellied at that time, stood in front of the door and asked arrogantly: "What's the matter, why did you withdraw everyone again?"

The people who came here dared not casually push Concubine De, but the people around Wang Chang could inquire, and only then did they know that Yonghe Palace had sent a message, saying that it was not suitable for her to assign the elder brother, and she would send the newcomer in a few days Come.

Wang Changzai didn't dare to disrespect Concubine De in front of outsiders, and complained to his maid in private: "She just doesn't want to see me, well, she will try to squeeze me out, the emperor doesn't allow me to be rude to her, I I already respect her very much, what else does she want?" She cursed with hatred, "She came out of that little bitch's house and came to trouble me, that bitch must have instigated it, and when I gave birth My child, instead of rounding her up and flattening her, I'll turn around and call her cousin."

In the main hall, Xi Concubine hugged the fifteen elder brothers and didn't interfere with this matter at all. In the morning, a group of people cheered and said that they wanted to serve Wang Changzai, she was disgusted in her heart. She was out of specification, and she couldn't express the resentment in her heart to Mrs. Wang, so she could only be bored in her own room.

Xi Concubine has always been unsatisfactory, and the only thing that comforts her now is that Elder Brother Fifteen, who has just started toddling, is very close to her, as if he was born by herself.At first she was worried that Mrs. Wang would be in the way, but Mrs. Wang was so focused on dominating the emperor and fighting those Han women that she had no time to pay attention to this child. At most, she would occasionally show off her identity as the birth mother. .

Over the past year and a half, from a baby who cries day and night to a baby who can toddle and babble and recognize people, Xi Concubine has filled the void in her heart for more than 20 or [-] years in the palace, thinking, It would be great if Mrs. Wang didn't think about this child for the rest of her life.In this way, she doesn't care what happens in the Dongpei Hall, she doesn't want to bow down to Mrs. Wang, and she doesn't want her to hate herself.But even so, the days were still oppressive and hard, if not for the lovely fifteenth elder brother by her side, Xi Concubine felt that she would go crazy sooner or later.

Furthermore, Concubine De didn't make things difficult for Wang Changzai after she withdrew her elder brother's people back that day. Everything was focused on the fetus in her womb, and another man was deployed every two days to prepare for the delivery.The queen mother asked a few questions about this matter, and the emperor didn't even raise his eyelids. As for others watching, Qianqing Palace still sent rewards to Qixiang Palace every now and then, and Wang Changzai still saw the holy face from time to time, she was also born A beautiful life, even if she is about to give birth with a big belly, she still has a beautiful face, which is unmatched by ordinary people. Everyone in the palace thinks that her face alone is enough to make a living in Qianqing Palace.

At the beginning of June, Wang Changzai gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a little elder brother again.Perhaps countless people secretly cursed her not to come back once she stepped into the gate of hell during childbirth, but she happened to be lucky. Not only did she give birth to a prince again, but her body didn't suffer much. It will happen again that Xi Concubine assassinated her back then, and her postpartum recovery is also orderly, which makes the palace people grit their teeth and secretly hate. They don't understand why the more annoying people are, the smoother they are.

But in this world, there are many injustices, and people have to work harder to live for the fairness in their hearts.No matter how lively the palace is these days, the royal lady who lives in a remote courtyard, and her quiet attitude of indifference to the world, let Lan Qi see such a beautiful and precious character. Peace of mind is the long way to go.

As soon as the royal family's happy event of adding a child in June is over, they look forward to having another grandson in July. Li Fangfujin in the fourth elder brother's mansion will also give birth. After all the disturbances before, Yuxi has managed the mansion in an orderly manner. After persuading Mrs. Song not to be entangled with Mrs. Li, at least during the days when Mrs. Li was conceived, everything in the family was peaceful.

On Lan Qi's side, if the children don't come to talk to her, she doesn't ask. At most, when the queen mother occasionally asks, she has to send someone to inquire about it, which makes the queen mother blame her for being a mother-in-law. Lan Qi He kept making excuses and perfunctory, but turned around and still acted according to his own ideas, unwilling to interfere with the children's affairs.

On the sixth day of July, the palace was preparing for the next day's Qixi Festival, when the princesses and concubines were begging for a coincidence. There was news from outside the palace that Li Fangfujin was about to give birth.The first child is always difficult, and it wasn't until dinner time, when Lan Qi was writing the gift list with Bugui in the Yonghe Palace, that Luzhu came happily and prostrated herself on the ground to congratulate the empress, saying that Li Fangfujin had given birth to a little princess, mother and daughter Safety.

Lan Qi remembered that the mother and daughter were safe last time, but looking back, the little granddaughter was gone. She was her own flesh and blood. She felt very uneasy, so she sent someone to ask for news, and she and Sister Bu prayed and burned incense in the small Buddhist hall .Before they came out to pay their respects to the Buddha, the fourth elder brother personally entered the palace to announce the good news, saying that he had been to Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace. If you come to the Yonghe Palace first, no one will care about it."

Yinzhen laughed: "If you come first, it doesn't matter if you are driven to Ningshou Palace by Er Niang, and you are reprimanded, then it won't work, I am Ama's person."

The room was full of joy, and Yinzhen solemnly saluted the good news to his mother, and told her confidently that the child was very strong, although it was a girl doll, it would be easy to support when it was born, and now it was hugged in the main courtyard, Yuxi and The nurse will take good care of it.

Lan Qi was overjoyed, and told him a few words to be careful, and said that she would wait for the baby to pass a hundred days before hugging her in the palace. In his mind, he sent his son to leave the palace earlier.

And the Qianqing Palace followed up with a decree, saying that the emperor asked the concubine De to come over to talk, Lan Qi guessed that Xuan Ye was probably too busy to leave, otherwise he must have come first on such a good day.When they were fully dressed and rushed to Qianqing Palace, they saw the crown prince and princess concubine walking out. They didn't seem to realize that concubine De was outside the door. The concubine's words are correct, since ancient times, loyal words have been harsh, and the concubine can't coax you like Fang Fujin and the others, the concubine only wants to be your good helper."

The crown prince said impatiently: "Okay." Turning around, he saw Concubine De and his party by the door, with a slightly embarrassed face, rushing over to pay respects, the crown princess was also very unnatural, Lan Qi didn't want everyone to be difficult, so she simply Before Eunuch Liang came out to greet him, he went straight to the door.

Lan Qi led the people away, but she didn't know that the crown princess was muttering behind her: "The concubine de concubine doesn't seem to be very disciplined. Huang Ama hasn't said the summons yet, why did she walk in by herself?"

But this sentence annoyed the prince, he sneered and teased her: "Don't they stay here and watch us quarrel?"

The concubine was so bored that she couldn't speak, so the prince turned around and left, telling the servants beside him: "Ask Wen Fujin to prepare, I will spend tonight in her room."

Lan Qi didn't know that there was such a thing in the future, and she didn't see the emperor unhappy when she entered the study, but what surprised her was that he was a 40-year-old man, and Xuan Ye was still the same as before. He tricked her into coming to the Qing Palace, and then when the night was dark, the two of them sneaked out of the Forbidden City under the protection of the guards.When Lan Qi came back to her senses, the carriage had already stopped in front of the fourth elder brother's mansion. Xuan Ye took her hand and said, "I know, you must want to see the child in your heart. You have never seen what your son's home looks like. seen."
