Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Yi didn't get angry, instead she shook the dazzling gemstone on the ring between her fingers, and said triumphantly: "Only those who care about are valued by others. The Queen Mother and the Emperor have promised that in the future, Brother Nine's Fujin will be chosen by myself. You can help me check the time, don't ask for anything else, just be as filial as my Wu Fujin."

Concubine Hui knew that she was teasing her daughter-in-law for being unfilial, so she was too lazy to talk to her, she raised her eyes and saw that Concubine De had already taken the seat under the empress dowager's hand, she was very intimate in her words and smiles, she couldn't help sneering in her heart.Now among the five concubines, Concubine Shude and Concubine Tong are the most honorable. The old legend that she is the most honored among the four concubines has long since disappeared in time. She doesn't want to fight for honor or not. She didn't care about it more than ten years ago, and what she cares about most now is only the future of her elder brother.

Not long after, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask if it was possible to start. The Empress Dowager had no objection, so she waited for the young girls to come in together with everyone, and looked at them batch after batch. While taking a break for tea, Concubine Yi rubbed her head and said : "It's really like choosing a daughter-in-law for brothers, otherwise, seeing so many young girls choose to send to the emperor, my heart will be broken."

The queen mother smiled faintly when she heard the words: "In this day, some people from the clan have come to me recently to suggest that the emperor has not formally drafted in all these years, and it is time to choose one. I am planning to discuss with the emperor when it will be done." This matter, you hold your heart well now, don't break it to pieces."

Concubine Yi smugly apologized and dared not speak any more, she looked back and saw Concubine Hui smiling at her, she couldn't help glaring at her viciously, but Concubine Hui said to her: "You are ten years younger, you are so cute and cute when you say such things, now you say, It's just embarrassing."

But before Concubine Yi could retort, the last batch of children were also brought in. Lan Qi had already signaled Dai Gui to take a closer look at Nalan, the lady of the Faka family who was standing among the people. She had nothing to do with Mingzhu Mansion, but She is also a young lady from a high official and aristocratic family. This time, her cousin is also selected together with her. Before Lan Qi came, she had already made an agreement with Dai Guiren. Because the daughter of the Faka family is weak, she planned to select her cousin together. Entering Seventh Elder Brother's house to be a side Fujin, the first Fujin is not in good health and always has to pretend to be someone else to take care of her husband, and her own cousin is always easier to get along with than outsiders.

Dai Guiren stared at her daughter-in-law for a long time at first, and then she didn't care about those people, and waited for the girls to look at it. When the queen mother was discussing with all the concubines, the queen mother asked her: "The child of the Faka family, the deputy governor, Does it look pleasing to you?"

Apparently the Empress Dowager had received the emperor's instruction a long time ago, and Dai Guiren was happy in his heart, but his face was only humble: "The concubine does not dare to talk too much, and I ask the Empress Dowager to be the master."

As a result, the candidates for the Seventh Prince's mansion were decided early, but for the Eighth Prince's, the emperor didn't give any hints, as if it didn't matter who he chose, and the Queen Mother was happy that Qi Fujin didn't need her to worry about it. It's because she really has to choose one of Yingyingyanyan's girls that her head hurts, and now she can't remember which one is which.

Taking advantage of the time to rest, the queen mother took Lan Qi to the inner hall alone, and asked her in a low voice if the emperor had something to say in the Changchun Garden. I'm afraid it will be looked down upon by others, but the eighth elder brother is not worried. After all, it is the child of Concubine Hui, and others are afraid that they will not be able to climb up. It is good to choose whichever one. If the emperor really mentioned anything, it is said that you are currently hosting the emperor. In the harem, it is very hard to deal with the clan and nobles all day long, so it would be great if I can give you some favors. You should think about whether there is a suitable candidate."

The queen mother hurriedly said: "You know, the old Fujin of Prince An's family has often come to the palace to greet me in recent years. At that time, the late emperor only relied on her husband Yue Le. At that time, Prince An's mansion was so beautiful, I miss the old love I can't help but give her face, and I've gotten closer recently. Their family has a granddaughter who is just getting old, and the fifth elder brother was tempted when she chose Fujin, but I heard that the child has a bad temper, and Yin Qi has a bad temper. Honestly, if the two children are not suitable, I will not agree."

Lan Qi said with a smile: "Brother Eight has a gentle and honest temperament."

The Empress Dowager held Lan Qi's arm thoughtfully and said, "Why don't you just give this favor? Yue Le has worked hard no matter when he was the first emperor or when he pacified the San Francisco, but the emperor treated him badly in the end. Is it in your eyes?"

"The courtiers and concubines dare not talk too much about government matters. If the empress dowager thinks it is appropriate, the emperor will not say no." Lan Qi pushed the empress dowager step by step to make up her mind. Naturally, all of this was Xuan Ye's intention.It's just that Xuan Ye treated the two sons' choice of wives with different attitudes, because he understood that the two children had very different influences among brothers.

In order to avoid suspicion, the queen mother discussed with everyone for a long time after she came out. Surprisingly, she actually mentioned Guo Luoluo, the granddaughter of Prince An's mansion, from Concubine Hui. Under Lao Fujin's knees, the rules and etiquette must be well-trained, and I just took a closer look, and I can't pick my appearance."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was tempted, Concubine Hui echoed a few words. She didn't know that the Queen Mother had already made up her mind, but Mingzhu had hinted to her before that if she could fight for it, it would be a good thing to get a child from Prince An's Mansion for the eighth elder brother .

The old Fujin of Prince An's Mansion is Sony's daughter, and Suo'etu is a brother and sister. The mansion has always been a faction that favors the prince. Now if he can have contacts with Changchun Palace, it is not directly attached to the elder brother. is a good choice.Anyway, Concubine Hui adopted the eighth elder brother to assist the eldest elder brother, so he is also obliged to undertake such a political marriage.

Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, the Empress Dowager decided on these people and sent them to the Qianqing Palace for the Emperor to have a look at. Half an hour later, Eunuch Liang came to thank the Empress Dowager himself, saying that the Emperor approved the Empress Dowager's decision, and invited the Empress Dowager and Qin Tian The supervisor arranged the preliminary date together, and it must be completed in the twelfth lunar month, so as to get married on the auspicious day of the first lunar month.

As soon as the news got out, knowing that the seventh and eighth elder brothers had a new Fujin, all the brothers in the study congratulated the elder brother, but the younger brothers were reluctant, after all, once the eighth elder brother got married and left the palace, he would not come to the study very often , and the days when they will meet in the future will be less.Yinhu promised his younger brothers that he was still young and would not be entrusted with too many errands, and he would definitely go to the study from time to time in the past two years.

After that, the two princes went to Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace to thank each other, and went to see their mothers respectively. The seventh elder brother went to Zhongcui Palace naturally, but after the eighth elder brother kowtowed to Concubine Hui in Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui did not mention it. Let him go to see the nobleman Juechan.

Yinhu didn't care, and when he returned to his room, he said to Baoyun: "I have already made an agreement with Seventh Brother and entrusted him to take care of you. After we get married, you will go to work in Seventh Brother's mansion, so that after you leave the palace , and you don’t have to worry about being ordered to monitor me by my side in the future, so we can all feel at ease.”

Baoyun didn't expect that the eighth elder brother would be so thoughtful and meticulous. He tried every means to get himself out of Concubine Hui's clutches. He couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude and cried uncontrollably. Instead, Yinhu comforted her and said, "You are the most important person in this world. The person who treats me best, if my Fujin can also treat me sincerely, it will be my blessing, but I will never forget you, if Baoyun didn't treat me well, I probably wouldn't be who I am now."

Baoyun didn't quite understand, but she could understand the sadness in these words. In the early years, he didn't believe that noble Jue Chan would be kind to Brother Ba, but in the past two years, she felt that Brother Ba understood many things. Now that the child is open-minded, she doesn't need to say anything more, but she always feels sorry for the eighth elder brother. He has done nothing wrong, but he is abandoned and used like this.

At this time in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, after learning about the candidate for the eighth elder brother Fujin, Xianghe ran over to the master in a fuss and said, "Do you still remember the child who sat in front of our Palace of Yanxi Palace back then? She went to Ningshou Palace, and that child is the lady of Prince An's Mansion, I never thought that there would be such a fate, you held her hand back then, and now you are a daughter-in-law."

The nobleman Jue Chan smiled lightly: "She should only recognize Concubine Hui as her mother-in-law, how could she be my daughter-in-law? Be careful, don't talk about these words, and when you see Brother Ba, just congratulate him .”

But Xianghe said optimistically: "Brother Bafujin must respect you. Brother Bafujin has already called you my mother. How could Fujin not obey Brother Bafujin?"

Thinking of the child curled up under the stairs back then, Jue Chan thought of the indifferent words of her family whispered in her mouth back then, as if she could still vaguely remember the feeling of the cold little hand in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but understand that this child is as unhappy as the eighth elder brother In childhood, they all grew up under the fence.I don't know who matched this pair, but they may be able to understand each other. Only those who have suffered the same can understand the heart of suffering.

Xiang He said excitedly: "Master, just now you said that you saw a lady with a familiar face but can't remember where you saw it, is it our Eight Fortunes?"

Jue Chan nodded: "That's right, it's her. Thinking about it, it is indeed fate." But he told Xianghe not to be too happy, and not to cause trouble for the eighth brother. Seeing that the master is so considerate of the eighth brother, Xianghe is only happy How could she not agree, but she didn't know that her master had other plans in mind.

And the marriage of the seventh and the eighth is settled, and the elder brothers who have left the palace must express something. Lan Qi, a mother, really dotes on her son, and sent Huan Chun early to prepare things and send them to the fourth elder brother's house, for fear of her son's little salary. It was not enough for him to pay for sending and receiving, so at night Yuxi put out the things that Er Niang gave, and smiled to her husband: "You always said that Er Niang lived frugally in Yonghe Palace, but every time she gave us things, she was never stingy. , you should be more filial to Er Niang, we have been away from the palace for so long, Er Niang has paid a lot of money."

Yinzhen was also helpless, casually glanced at the gold, silver and jade objects on the table, and asked his wife to decide what gifts to give to his younger brothers. He smiled and complained that his mother was too worried. But Er Niang still finds excuses to deliver things every now and then, and he can't help it.

Yuxi said it was his good fortune, and blamed him for being too embarrassed to complain, and suddenly asked her husband to hug her waist from behind, and whispered softly in her ear: "There is something I want to tell you."
