Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The room was silent for a while, Xuan Ye waited for Lan Qi's response, thinking that she would be worried about the war, but he asked with a smile: "This time, will the emperor bring fourth elder brother?"

Xuan Ye loosened the strings in his heart, and said with a smile: "Looking at the situation, I am still selecting candidates. Now I am preparing food and grass, and marrying Ke Jing next year will also further strengthen the relationship between the imperial court and Mobei. They have always hoped to marry the Qing Dynasty. , I didn’t nod for a long time, I just waited for this day. As long as there is enough food, grass and soldiers, I am not afraid that there will be no generals to lead the troops, let alone I want to march in person.”

Lan Qi smiled and said: "The armor from that year is still in the Yonghe Palace. I'm afraid that I have gotten fat in the past two years and I can't wear it."

Xuan Ye looked down at himself, and muttered: "Have I gained weight?"

Lan Qi said unceremoniously: "The emperor is always diligent in government affairs and daily life is unstable, and his body is empty. The root cause is that he does not know how to take care of himself. Even riding a horse and practicing boxing every day is useless, but the golden catkins are beyond."

"You are too presumptuous." Xuan Ye blamed.

"I fell into my arms when I walked in the door, and I still dream of breaking out in a cold sweat." Lan Qi added the roasted pine mushrooms to his bowl, and said unceremoniously, "Since you are in the garden, why don't the emperor come with the concubine? To keep in good health, don’t ask for great supplements, just ask for a certain amount of daily life and diet, and adjust your body to be strong, so that you can go to the battle with majesty and majesty next year, and return with majesty and majesty.

Xuan Ye was speechless to refute, and ate the food in the bowl with a dull head. Lan Qi brought a bowl of soup to his hand, and asked with a soft smile: "Are you angry?"

"Aren't you angry?" Xuan Ye said with displeasure on his face, "I just don't want to be reconciled to the embarrassment of being ill that year, so I want to go on a personal expedition again, but you say something other than gold, and you can say that, if it's someone else... ..."

Seeing that the emperor didn't go on, Lan Qi smiled: "It's what the concubine can say, and the concubine will say it, and others will not dare to say it." Then she said solemnly, "It's a joke, your majesty, the body is fundamental, other things always The only person who can find a replacement is to rely on himself. This kind of talk is annoying to many people, and the concubine's words are exhausted. If we talk about it in the future, we will hurt our relationship."

Xuan Ye laughed: "Don't talk about it in the future? But I love to listen to your nagging."

Lan Qi said: "In the past two months, I suddenly feel that my spirit is not as good as before, and in a few years I'm afraid I won't be able to support this face. Who would like to see an old woman with a wrinkled face nagging?"

Xuan Ye stretched out his hand to hold her, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Clearly she had something on her mind and didn't say it out loud. Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Lan Qi couldn't open her mouth. She just smiled slightly: "The emperor has a good meal. Tomorrow and tomorrow, let's start from tonight, okay? When I got back to the Forbidden City, I saw You are so radiant that everyone in the palace is startled, so they won't criticize the concubine and trick you into Changchun Garden to have fun alone."

"I listen to you." Xuan Ye let go, ate seriously, took a walk with her after dinner to digest, and read a few books, Lan Qi came to urge him to go to bed according to the time, Xuan Ye did not refuse.

But people who are used to staying up late to manage politics, how can they sleep when they lie down so early. They wanted to talk to Lan Qi, but she said that she didn't go to sleep after talking, and she lay quietly for a long time. Xuan Ye felt that When Lan Qi sat up, she hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. The people around her seemed to look at her again and again. She smiled softly, tucked the quilt up for herself, and got up to leave.

Xuan Ye heard Lan Qi talking in front of the door, and asked Huan Chun what breakfast he would prepare for the emperor tomorrow, and asked Wen Chen if he had accepted the bed. After a long time, he heard footsteps coming in and out, and the room suddenly fell silent, as if she had left.The emperor turned over and sat up, and the room was really empty. He wanted to get up, but he didn't know what to do when he got up, and then he lay down bored, thinking about what his daughter said to him today, and thinking about Lan Qi's words and smiles in the evening Can't tell, she was still crying in Yonghe Palace yesterday.

While thinking wildly, there was another movement in front of the door, probably Lan Qi came back after visiting her daughter, Xuan Ye closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, someone approached by the bed holding a candle, but the candle light was extinguished soon.He thought that Lan Qi would lie down beside him, but he heard the sound of footsteps far away, and the surrounding was still empty for a long time, Xuan Ye couldn't help turning his head to see, in the dim candlelight outside the tent, a slender figure stopped in front of the window, her hands He seemed to put palms together in front of him, and he could hear the words in his mouth, but Xuan Ye couldn't hear them clearly, and out of curiosity, he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Lan Qi was shocked, she turned back and asked, "Did the concubine wake you up?"

Xuan Ye shook his head, held her hand, and it was already cold after walking around outside, so he took her into his arms and warmed her with a quilt, and replied: "I can't sleep, I pretended to be asleep because I was afraid you would get angry, but you Dangling around, I am curious about what you are doing."

Lan Qi scolded: "Your majesty is really pretending, I thought you were fast asleep." While pushing Xuan Ye down, she coaxed him like a child, "We talk, and we get sleepy when we talk. It's the minister. Concubine is not good, I know you are not used to going to bed so early, so you are not even allowed to speak."

Xuan Ye muttered lazily: "Only you dare to do this."

Lan Qi nestled in his arms, and said softly: "Then hugging him, will you be able to sleep peacefully?" Pushing his dishonest hands away, "You are only allowed to hug, no touching."

The atmosphere in the tent was beautiful and warm, Lan Qi wholeheartedly coaxed Xuan Ye to fall asleep early, but suddenly, someone asked: "Do you have something on your mind? Why did you cry yesterday? Have you shed tears secretly these days?"

In her ears was the powerful heartbeat in Xuan Ye's chest, and the emperor's simple questions lingered in her ears again and again, but she never answered, and Xuan Ye didn't urge them, and they could hear each other's breathing.

Waiting for each other for a long time, almost hugging each other to sleep like this, but Xuan Ye is still waiting for Lan Qi's reply, reluctant to urge her, for fear that even a word of anxiety will cause her to misunderstand her own intentions.

After a long time, Lan Qi asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"No."

"Daughter said it?"

"Don't blame her, she loves you."

Lan Qi burrowed into Xuan Ye's arms again, pressed against his chest and said, "I'm afraid that my painstaking efforts will be misunderstood by you, I'm afraid that you think I'm scheming, and I'm afraid that if the queen mother wasn't by my side that day, would I be with the king?" Chang Zaiyi has already been strangled to death. Although the concubines would never go to that kind of place alone, but things have already happened, they will think wildly. They have been cautiously avoiding everything related to the prince. Who would have thought of this entanglement? I'm afraid it will be a lifetime. Your majesty...Xuan Ye, will you protect me?"

Xuan Ye said calmly: "It really is this matter."

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "Is the emperor disappointed?"

"It's never you that I'm disappointed." Xuan Ye's breath became heavier and heavier, but he said, "But I don't want to say those words to you, they are all words of complaint and helplessness, why should they be directed at you."

"Yes." Lan Qi replied, feeling a little lost for some reason, probably because of the question she asked just now, Xuan Ye seemed to avoid it and didn't answer.

But the answer she wanted soon rang in her ears, and Xuan Ye put it into her heart word by word: "In this world, only I can protect you, even the crown prince can't hurt you, don't be afraid, everything will hurt you." With me by your side."

Lan Qi's body trembled, Xuan Ye continued: "If you died in his hands that day, I would definitely kill the traitor, and I will never..." Before he finished speaking, someone covered his mouth with his hand , Lan Qi said in a panic, "The concubine is messing around, why is the emperor also messing around? This is nothing to say, it's just my wild imagination."

Xuan Ye's starry eyes were extremely firm, and his words could not be refuted: "Golden words, why are you messing around?"

Lan Qi's aura instantly weakened, she was a little confused about her situation, she had been terrified and afraid for so long, trying to maintain her composure to maintain everything in the palace, but every time she thought about the prince's appearance on that day, no matter whether it was the ferocious man who killed the Wang family , or the embarrassment of wailing in the arms of the queen mother, made her terrified.

The crown prince has become more and more winged as he grows up. In the past, Xuan Ye let her read so many books. The changes in the royal family and the tragedies in the palace in the past dynasties made her always vigilant. The harem of the imperial court is no longer what it used to be.

Xuan Ye said again: "Even if you are ruthless to the whole world, there is always room for you and me to store your feelings. You are afraid that I will misunderstand your scheming city, why am I not afraid that you will misunderstand that I am cold-blooded and ruthless? If you can secretly shed tears, what should I do?" what to do?"

"Why?" Lan Qi put her hand on his heart, and finally smiled, "We haven't talked like this for a long time, now it's clear, my heart is very happy, even if my face is old, I dare to be with you Presumptuous in front of you."

"This is nonsense." Xuanye said so, but he was willing to let her do anything in his heart, but the person in his arms said, "Whether it is the prince, or other princes, or even our Yinzhen and Yinti, The concubine will always stand behind the emperor and will not be shaken by anything."

"I've never doubted it." Xuan Ye lowered his head and kissed her, and said gently, "If you have such a worry in the future, you should also tell me, I can guess what's on your mind, but I can't always guess. "

Lan Qi shook her head: "The emperor thinks simply, but your treatment of my concubine is different from my concubine's treatment of you."

Xuan Ye didn't understand, Lan Qi compared the simplest and vulgar example and said: "If there is a beautiful woman like a flower entering the palace, the emperor will fall in love with you at first sight, at least it will be too late for the emperor to fall in love with his concubine, at least you would never have thought of it a few years earlier. , then maybe the same thing will happen in the future.”

Xuan Ye was very helpless: "I wish I could give you my heart, is it true that even if I become a white-haired old man, you still worry that I will be seduced by a young beauty?"

Lan Qi said: "Your Majesty, don't blame my concubine for being suspicious. Everything I do today depends on your affection. This is my only reliance."

"It's really irritating." Xuan Ye pinched her waist impatiently, and pressed her under him a few times. He frowned and growled angrily: "Everyone is younger than my daughter. I fell in love with them at first sight?"
