Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi glanced along, and sure enough, seeing Wang Chang was drooping her face, she sighed softly: "It's the festival tonight, if she shows such a face to anyone, I'm not afraid that the emperor and queen mother will be unhappy."

Concubine Rong sneered: "I heard that a few days ago, she carried sixteen elder brothers to Qianqing Palace. The queen mother has long been dissatisfied with the two elder brothers being raised in Qixiang Palace. She doesn't cherish the face the emperor gave her. The boss rushed out to get someone to catch her. Poor Concubine Xi is now focusing on taking care of the child, and she can't control her so much. She even told me that day that she was afraid that one day the Wang family would leave Qixiang Palace, and the child would also leave with her. It's been more than [-] years. How often have I seen her so timid? In the past, she was the one who dared to interject a word or two in front of Empress Xiaoyi. If she hadn't had a child, I don't think she would have been able to bear it. Fight to the death."

Lan Qi worried: "What kind of evil has she fallen into? If this continues, what good will come of it?"

While talking, several children clamored to see the little brother, the fifteenth elder brother was sitting in Xi Concubine's arms, the sixteenth elder brother was hugged by the wet nurse, and the fifteenth elder brother saw the older children gathered around to tease the little one , he also yelled nonsense, one or two-year-old children like to scream when they are excited, when the fifteenth elder brother yelled, Xi Concubine was afraid of disturbing the queen mother and the emperor, and seemed to be incapable of discipline, so she left with the excited child up.

Retreating to a quiet place, Elder Brother Fifteen gradually became quieter. Concubine Xi gently coaxed him to stop yelling. The little guy agreed ignorantly, but suddenly fell sleepy on his mother's shoulder, and the maid next to him said ten Fifth elder brother seemed to be going to sleep, Xi Concubine said: "I'll hold her, you can find someone to bring a blanket."

In this way, Xi Concubine was left holding the child alone, and as soon as the maid left, she coaxed the child to wander aimlessly in the corridor. A gust of cold wind blew by, and she was afraid that the child would catch a cold, so she hugged the fifteenth elder brother Thinking of avoiding the palaces and pavilions with no one on the side.But when he got close to the window, he suddenly heard a delicate and soft voice inside saying: "Prince, why did you find this place, let others see, we can't get well."

Concubine Xi panicked in her heart, she quickly pulled out, covered Brother Fifteen's mouth and ran away far away, but the voice of that sentence was very familiar and lingered in her ears. On the table, the princess was really empty and there was no shadow of the prince.

Her heart skipped a beat, she put her arms around the child to hide her uneasiness, soon the crown prince came back with a smile on his face, and talked with the queen dowager normally, soon concubine Xi looked up inadvertently, but saw Chen Changzai coming back from nowhere.She didn't notice that Mrs. Chen was not at the table just now, but at this moment she was suddenly shocked, and realized that the soft and delicate voice just now should be Chen Chang's presence.

Xi Concubine seemed to have something stuck in her throat, she couldn't spit out or swallow, she felt uncomfortable, why did she bump into this terrible event, she didn't know, but now that she bumped into it, how should she deal with it?And whether she was discovered by the prince just now, and will the prince cause trouble for her?

After being so anxious all night, the dinner ended smoothly, the emperor and the queen mother had a great time, and Concubine Rong and Lan Qi were proud of themselves.

After the clan and noble relatives left the palace one after another, the emperor and the crown prince served the empress dowager to sleep, and they also left Ningshou Palace. At that time, Elder Sixteen was crying as if he was hungry, so he borrowed a place in Ningshou Palace for the wet nurse Breastfeed your baby.But Wang Changzai was very impatient for waiting, he was afraid that the emperor would turn over Chen's brand tonight, thinking that even if he couldn't go to bed, he would stop her good deeds, so he left Xi concubine and the child and went first.

When she arrived at the door, there were still a few people who did not leave. Although the Wang family is not as good as before, it is still more than enough compared to others. They promised to be very polite when they met her. Looking at her posture, someone said: "Wang Changzai is It’s not like I’m going to Qianqing Palace again, isn’t it, you must be at the emperor’s side.”

Another person said: "Sister Wang is very lucky to have two elder brothers in a row."

This sentence was nothing at all, but someone pulled it out and said: "It is because of Wang Changzai's little elder brother, the little princess in the fourth elder brother's mansion has not been hugged. After all, the grandson is precious. The fourth elder brother finally had a child, but Still a daughter."

Mrs. Wang glanced at them quietly, her words were nonsensical, but it hit her heart, when she saw a soft sedan coming by, she thought it was her own sedan, walked there, and sneered: " Having a boy or a girl is predetermined by God, if you don’t have a son, you’re less lucky, but it’s better to have a daughter than if you don’t have a daughter, those who can’t be born are pitiful, right? I don’t know who did it.”

Everyone in the palace and outside the palace knew that Si Fujin didn't seem to have children. Just now, since Si elder brother's daughter was mentioned, Wang Changzai's words were obviously mocking Si Fujin, but Wang Changzai approached the sedan chair, but found that it was not his own, and turned around. I wanted to ask where her sedan chair was, but I saw Concubine De was standing inside the door, and the accompanying maids and eunuchs ignored her, and ran to press the sedan chair and lifted the curtain first, then the people behind came out surrounded by Concubine De, and someone reminded Wang. Chang Zai: "Chang Zai, please step aside, the empress is going to get into the sedan chair."

Lan Qi heard the words just now very sincerely, although she hated her heart, she would not argue about it in front of the Ningshou Palace. Tonight is a full moon night, so there is no need to get angry because of this kind of person. Fortunately, Yuxi left the palace early so she could not hear such words. If Yuxi When Xi heard it from her side, she was not so patient, and she was bound to vent her anger for her daughter-in-law.

It was a coincidence that someone from Qianqing Palace rushed over, saying that the emperor had transferred to Yonghe Palace, and asked the concubine De to go back quickly. Lan Qi didn't say anything, and sat in the sedan chair safely, but someone whispered outside: "So the emperor Wang Changzai was not summoned."

The people from Yonghe Palace meandered away, and Wang Changzai's sedan chair rushed over. In her opinion, the whispers of the people around her were laughing at herself, so she left full of resentment, and returned to Qixiang Palace full of anger.

The palace was quiet when I entered the door. Ever since I had a child, Xi Concubine did not let the palace people light up the lamps and make noise at night, for fear of disturbing the sleep of the younger brothers, but such a dark and lifeless life made Wang Changzai feel that this was also the cause of the emperor's inability to remember. For my own reasons, now the emperor must think of Qixiang Palace, just the two crying dolls, how could he think of his own beauty and tenderness.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he had already walked to the door of his own house, and suddenly became unwilling, leaving the people around him behind, he rushed to Xi Concubine's palace, wanting to talk to her about reasoning.But when she walked to the door, she heard Xi Concubine from the palace lady who was close to her say: "You said she is so favored now, how can she do such a careless thing."

The palace maid asked: "My lord, where did you meet me? Could you be mistaken?"

Concubine Xi sighed endlessly: "It's in the unoccupied Cunxin Pavilion to the west of the Ningshou Palace garden. I can really hear it. It's Chen Changzai's voice. How many words did she say so beautifully today? How could I hear it wrong? Well. You said she is young, and the emperor is not old, how could such a thing happen, and I ran into it, it is really unlucky..."

When Wang Chang heard these words outside, his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he hurriedly left Xi Concubine's room, full of thoughts, Mrs. Chen was so bold as to seduce people in Ningshou Palace, so many royal relatives tonight For the banquet, it might be the prince or Baylor. They were sent to the capital together and stayed outside the palace together. Maybe they will be merciful.

She went back to the room and sat down, secretly happy in her heart, she had no idea at first, she didn't know how to get back the seat next to the emperor, who knew that Mrs. Chen would kill herself.Thinking that since Mrs. Chen was messing around with a wild man tonight, maybe she would drop something, and she would rush to look for it tomorrow as evidence, but if she couldn't find it, she had to be patient and wait for her to commit another crime.

Because of this incident, Wang Changzai, who was depressed, suddenly became enlightened, and the cloud on his face disappeared, even the maids who served her didn't know why, they only knew that since she was happy, it was better than unhappy.

But this night was destined to be uneven. In Yuqing Palace, the prince and the princess once again had a dispute. It was all because after they returned, the princess accused Wen Fujin of being unsteady and lost the prince's face at the family banquet.Wen Fujin is weak and blindly admits his mistakes, but the princess is aggressive and refuses to let her go easily, she must be punished as a warning.

The crown prince couldn't stand it, and after a few words, the crown princess said: "The concubine is the mistress of Yuqing Palace, and the concubine who is side Fujin is the concubine's slave. These are all housework. The concubine teaches the slave. You don’t need to worry about the prince. Huang Ama also said, let the prince focus on court affairs and learning, and let the concubines share the trivial matters at home for you. That day in Qianqing Palace, Huang Ama told you personally, Huang Ama Ma also said..."

"Huang Ama! Huang Ama! It's all Huang Ama!" At that time, the prince was furious, and he called his father in his mouth. He didn't dare to say anything disobedient. He gave the princess a hard look, and then left them behind. No matter what, the maid in Yuqing Palace was dragged to sleep for the night, and the next day she directly took over as a concubine. Although she slapped the princess on the face invisibly, it was still the prince who suffered the most.

In the eyes of the crown prince, Yuqing Palace has always been a cage. He was separated from his brothers and his father since he was a child. Now there are more and more people. He has a wife, concubine and children. He should have found his own happiness and sustenance. But day by day, the life in Yuqing Palace became more and more depressing. In the world outside Yuqing Palace, anything that could make him feel relieved stimulated his desire to be free.

In addition, Wang Changzai originally planned to go to Ningshou Palace to look for the things that Chen Changzai might have left behind, but that day, relatives and nobles still entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother. She had no chance after waiting for a day. Fearing that the eunuchs and maids would take away the things that might be left behind after cleaning, they insisted on hugging the fifteenth elder brother from Xi concubine, and finally entered the gate of Ningshou Palace under the pretext that fifteenth elder brother wanted to see the emperor's grandmother.

But just because she knew that the queen mother was not happy to see her, she took the opportunity of sending the child in, and when the nuns picked the child up, she would find a chance to sneak to the Cunxin Pavilion. As a cover, a group of people waited at the door to pick up elder brother fifteen. She waited and then slipped into the garden, all the way to the Cunxin Pavilion in the west.

The garden of Ningshou Palace is very large, and all the halls and pavilions are vacant. In the early years, some concubines and concubines lived here. After passing away one after another in recent years, there is no one here. Deliberately suppressing his excitement, he barged in, trying to find clues in every corner.

At this moment, she was about to lift the tablecloth to take a look underneath, when a woman's coquettish giggles suddenly came from inside, but she saw a palace maid running out, shouting: "It's broad daylight, please spare your servant."

Immediately after the man in eunuch uniform flashed out from inside, Wang Changzai was taken aback for a moment, and the people there were also taken aback, both froze in place, even though he was wearing eunuch uniform, Wang Changzai also recognized that man as the prince, and The prince also knew who he had met.Before the two of them could react, the maid beside him screamed, pulled the prince and said, "Prince, it's too bad."

Wang Chang turned subconsciously and wanted to go out, but was suddenly grabbed by someone forcefully, only to hear the prince angrily scold: "Where are you going?"
