Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Then we have to stay in the Changchun Garden for a while longer, otherwise, if you go back to the palace with such vigor, and see those beautiful young people wandering around you, the concubine will be very angry." Lan Qi placed her hand on Xuan Ye's chest The former walked around restlessly, and unbuttoned him with rubbing. His words were full of ambiguity, and his soft laughter catalyzed people's hearts. He straightened up and bit his lips, "I am the best!" ,Yes or no?"

This bite, of course, is boundless spring, the taste of it can only be appreciated by the people who are in the ups and downs at this moment, the combination of love and harmony is the most beautiful thing in the world, Lan Qi is greedy, Xuan Ye is even more greedy.The day of returning to the palace was postponed again and again. In order to catch up with Laba to serve the Queen Mother for the festival, the emperor decided to return to the palace on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the imperial city, the selection of Fujin for the seventh and eighth elder brothers was going on according to the rules. There was news from the Changchun Garden that the emperor and concubine De had only returned to the palace on the seventh day of the lunar calendar. The day of selection will also be extended to the seventh day of the seventh day.The Ministry of Internal Affairs submitted the roster early, and the Empress Dowager and Concubine Rong took a look at it together. Because the birth mothers of the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother were all of low status, the empresses were interested in joining in the fun, and the eighth elder brother was the adopted son of Concubine Hui Well, the Empress Dowager asked her to come with her, which was enough to give the Changchun Palace enough face.

But Concubine Hui is self-aware. After all, this is not the elder brother’s wedding. She just watched and listened. Everything is up to the queen mother and the emperor, and because the seventh elder brother was born with a disability, and he was not held by anyone. The concubine's upbringing is inferior to the eighth elder brother in all aspects. Every family and government prefers to betroth their daughters to the eighth elder brother to be a Fujin, so she can't be too active, as if she deliberately squeezed out and bullied the seventh elder brother.

In the Changchun Palace, because the eighth elder brother's selection of Fujin was finally on the agenda, the preliminary decision was made in the twelfth lunar month, and the marriage was completed in the first month. I am looking forward to the decision made by the Empress Dowager Chu Qi.On the other hand, the eighth elder brother was calm and calm. He went to and from the study every day, and hardly asked about this matter.

On this day, Baoyun found out that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has directly selected two old houses outside the palace to renovate, and they have started to repair them. They can be completed in time for the elder brothers to get married, so that the seventh and eighth elder brothers do not have to live in the palace after marriage. Inside, will move out directly.She happily told the eighth elder brother the news, but Yinhu looked at her indifferently and said, "If you don't follow me out of the palace, you won't even see what my house looks like."

The smile on Baoyun's face faded a little bit, but the same sentence remained: "The slave must stay in the palace."

"Why?" The eighth elder brother is already a tall and straight young man, and Baoyun's size has long been compared. He looked down at Baoyun, his brows were furrowed but his eyes were soft, and he sighed softly, " Is it because you want to continue monitoring Concubine Hui here?"

Baoyun panicked, her knees became weak and she knelt down, and was supported by the eighth elder brother, she said timidly: "You know everything?"

Yinhu nodded: "We have been together for so many years, I can't see it anymore, and I will let you down for being so good to me."

Baoyun had tears in his eyes, and when the eighth elder brother let go of her hand, he stepped back a few steps and stood still, saying: "So I can't go out of the palace with you, even though I'm working in Changchun Palace, I used to belong to the Empress Dowager. People, now you belong to the Empress Dowager, even if you serve you wholeheartedly, the servants are never yours. Now the servants are monitoring Concubine Hui, so in the future, the servants will go to the mansion with you and want to watch you instead?"

Yinhu's eyes flickered slightly, he really didn't expect this, Baoyun smiled with tears in his eyes: "I don't want to betray you, no one knows what will happen in the future, I'm in the palace, at least leave a copy of your thoughts on my slave , if we go to Elder Brother's Mansion, maybe our bond of slaves will also be broken, and slaves will never belong to you."

"But if you stay in Changchun Palace, you will definitely be tortured to death by her." There was hatred in Yinhu's eyes, and he clenched his fist with one hand, as if hating himself for being incompetent, even Baoyun, who was loyal to him, could not protect him.

But Bao Yun smiled contentedly: "Brother Ba thinks this way, this life of a servant is worth it, don't worry about other things."

But how could Yinhu not worry, Baoyun's words today really made him feel bad, he would not want Baoyun to become an existence to monitor him in the future.He has experienced so many things in the study over the years, just watching his elder brothers working beside his father, he has already been well versed in the way of father and son, many things he has not experienced before, he already understands most of them, and he also understands that Bao Yunruo is watching him For what reason, even if there must be such a person in the house in the future, he doesn't want it to be Baoyun.

"But I can't keep you in the palace. If she hurts you, we will be separated." Yinhu still did not change his original intention, and said more clearly, "Baoyun, you know, I want to be filial to you all my life. She is, but if she hurts you, I will definitely turn against her."

Bao Yun could only sigh: "Eighth Brother, forget it."

How can Yinhu let it go, if he wants to start to be the master of his own affairs in the future, Baoyun will be the first one.How can he give up halfway through the things he has decided since he was young? Baoyun is the best person in this world to him so far. Without Baoyun's wholehearted care, like a mother, I don't even know What will he look like.Compared with adoptive mother, compared with biological mother, Yinhu knew very well which of them was more important.

In the end, Yinhu chose to discuss this matter with her biological mother. Although her biological mother has no right or qualification to directly influence the outcome of any matter in the palace, she can walk in Yonghe Palace and try to influence Baoyun's fate through Empress Defei. And his request to his mother was: "Bao Yun has no support in her family, so it's easy to let her go out. I don't feel at ease about whether she will live well in the future. Since she doesn't want to stay in my house, let her go to Brother Seven." In the mansion, I believe Seventh Brother will treat her kindly."

At that time, nobleman Jue Chan promised her son very tenderly: "I will go to ask the concubine De for you." But after turning her back on her son, when Xianghe told her that the eighth elder brother is a kind and righteous person, she was indifferent in her heart Thinking about it, it seemed that he understood why his son took the initiative to get close to her, and that was pretty good.

In the blink of an eye, on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, women of the right age to be selected were arranged to enter the palace early, and the emperor and concubine De had just returned to the Forbidden City before noon. As soon as they entered, they went to the Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother, who urged her to go back and have a rest. In the afternoon, we settled the matter of the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother Fujin together.

Lan Qi hurried back to Yonghe Palace, Concubine Duan waited for a long time with Bu Guiren and Dai Guiren, Seventh elder brother was Dai Guiren's only child, and also her spiritual support for so many years.The child who was born with a disability staggered and grew up. Dai Guiren waited for this day with hope for the stars and the moon, but the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince chose Fujin for marriage together, which made her feel more worried.

Concubine Duan smiled at Lan Qi: "Sister Dai murmurs every day, afraid that others will look down on Seventh Brother, and afraid that the daughter-in-law who chooses to enter the door will not care about Seventh Brother's house in the future."

Lan Qi pulled Dai Guiren over and said: "Speaking of which, this time, I really chose Fujin for the eighth elder brother. As for us, the seventh elder brother, the emperor chose it early in the morning. I just thought about it before, and I don't want to let outsiders Pick and choose, I told the minister who I like early on to raise my daughter well, so that I can marry it to our seventh elder brother in the future, I took a look in the garden, I don’t have to choose, and my temperament is very gentle.”

Dai Guiren didn't really believe it, and asked repeatedly: "The emperor has already thought about it?"

Lan Qi smiled: "The emperor takes care of everything every day. It seems that he doesn't get close to the children, but all of them are his flesh and blood. If he doesn't care about it, who else cares about it? You are so kind, the emperor cherishes elder brother Seven even more. Er has an idea long ago, but it’s hard to say. After a while, you and sister Duanbi will follow me to Ningshou Palace, and I will show you which child it is. You can take a look before leaving, and wait for the order in Zhongcui Palace.”

Dai Guiren was so happy that he didn't know what to do. Although he hadn't had a holy favor for more than ten years, the life in Zhongcui Palace was comfortable and beautiful, and he didn't want to think about it.But after all, she is the emperor's woman. At the beginning, Zhong Cuigong "missed" her life at first glance. All these years, she still longed for the emperor's love in her heart. Because she knew she couldn't ask for it, she silently guarded this thought. Now listening to the concubine Defei Said that the emperor has always cared about their mother and son, and his heart was full of comfort and joy, and finally he did not disappoint her love for more than ten years.

The selection of Fujin from the Empress Dowager took place in the afternoon. The girls were led by the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Ningshou Palace. The nobleman Juechan was waiting by the road they must pass through with Xianghe. Naturally, they were standing in a hidden place. will be noticed.She looked at the girls who passed by one by one. For women, youth is the best decoration. The girls are all delicate and delicate, and they are used to seeing heavy makeup in the palace, which makes her eyes shine, but because I don't remember anyone or what they look like, and they pass by in a hurry, most of them have no impression.

After all the girls had passed by, Xiang He excitedly said to the master: "There are our Eight Fujin here."

Jue Chan nodded in response, and went back the same way with Xiang He, trying to remember the faces of those children just now, a sudden flash of excitement flashed in his mind, and he said to himself: "I seem to have seen that child somewhere."

Xiang He laughed and said: "Many young ladies came to the palace with their families, it's not uncommon for you to see them in Ningshou Palace or elsewhere."

Jue Chan shook his head: "It's not like we met like that, but I can't remember it for a while."

In Ningshou Palace, Concubine Tong, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui had been waiting for a long time. Lan Qi was belated, and she brought Concubine Duan and Lady Dai together. She planned to let them take a look and leave, but the Empress Dowager laughed: It is better to let nobleman Dai sit aside and let the children know the respect of the mother-in-law, although the status of the noble is low, the emperor's concubine is still honorable after all, how can outsiders be underestimated."

Concubine Yi pushed Concubine Hui who was beside her, and laughed softly: "Is the queen mother comparing herself to her elder sister? But don't get angry, at least she didn't invite Jue Chan to be your equal."

Concubine Hui gave her a cold look: "I'm not like you, I care about everything."
