Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

When the weeping Yuxi calmed down, Yinzhen had come and gone in a hurry, Jue Luo asked the servants from elder brother's mansion to fetch water for them to wash Fujin's face, after hearing a few words, he knew that fourth elder brother had returned.Yuxi listened blankly and didn't care to ask, but Jue Luo asked the maids: "Si elder brother arrived at the door?"

The servant girl who had been serving Fujin nodded awkwardly and said: "Si elder brother stood in front of the door for a while, and when he left, his face was tense, and the slaves didn't dare to ask anything."

Jue Luo felt uneasy when he heard that, so he sent them down, helped his tidied up daughter to the bed, and persuaded her in a loud voice: "There are always people who are not strict with their mouths. How do you think of you, and how do people outside think of you?"

Yuxi's eyes froze, she leaned down and didn't respond in a daze, she didn't listen to a word of her mother's persuasion, Jue Luoshi spoke for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "You can't tolerate the gossip outside, or you can't control the people in the house. People? It was fine for the past two years, but it’s because all the elder brothers have good news these days, so you can’t take it anymore, can you?”

"Emiang." Yuxi finally made a weak voice, but her words were very strong, "In the eyes of empress empress, I am the most suitable person for Yinzhen. Not bad, even if I don't have talent, I'm better than ordinary people. I'm not at all unqualified to be a fourth elder brother's Fujin, but what the empress expects from me is more than being a Fujin? Er Niang, I..."

Jue Luo hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal his daughter not to continue, and said with a frown: "Yuxi, if you still listen to Er Niang, forget what the empress once said."

Yuxi's eyes were full of confusion, and she murmured: "How can I forget, I can't forget."

Jue Luo said earnestly: "With such a burden on your back, you will eventually push the fourth elder brother tighter and tighter. You see, you have lost your nature now. You told me in the past, don't be like the princess, but now You torment yourself like this, and there is no difference between you and the princess. You think that if you don’t say those annoying and mean words, you are not pushing your husband every step of the way. Now that you look like this, it is more serious than the verbal bullying of the princess. How do you want the fourth elder brother to face it?"

Yuxi turned over and covered her face, her fresh cheeks were once again flooded with tears, these years even crying has become a luxury, she can no longer tell whether she really possesses the good qualities that are praised by others, or whether she really has those good qualities that are praised by others, or whether she really has the good qualities that people praise every day. All are playing decent roles.Isn't she a noble elder brother Fujin, why can she be humiliated and ridiculed at will, why does she have to greet her with a smile again and again?

Yuxi stopped crying, but her helpless appearance was heartbreaking, Jue Luo wanted to persuade her again, but her daughter said: "Emiang, I'm so tired."

This night, because she didn't want to be gossiped by the people in the house, Jue Luo left her daughter's house overnight, coaxing her daughter to sleep when she left, but in the middle of the night, there was lightning, thunder and rain, she knew that Yuxi would definitely be woken up, If she went to Elder Brother's Mansion the next day, it would be a bit embarrassing, even though she was worried about her daughter's well-being, she still endured it.

Here in the Changchun Garden, because of the rain, it was cooler everywhere in the garden. Xuan Ye woke up to the sound of the rain the next morning, and felt that the weather was pleasant. He wanted to order his subordinates to stay with his sons for a few more days. Eunuch Liang When I came to wait for the wash, I brought a word from the concubine Defei, saying that the emperor has nothing to do recently and wandered around. He went to Nanyuan and Changchun Garden for a while, and lived in Yingtai in front of him for a few days. Running away, every place has to open up expenses, and money is repeatedly spent inside and outside the palace, which is wasted in vain.Early this morning, I sent someone to ask the emperor, if he doesn't intend to stay in Changchun Garden for a long time, why not go back today, or stay longer, it won't be too late to go back in autumn.

Xuan Ye scolded Director Liang: "You can tell her clearly these words, don't you have to pass them on to me?"

Eunuch Liang smiled and said, "Slaves don't dare to call the shots. Of course, what do you say, Long Live Lord, so that the slaves can pass it on to the empress."

Xuan Ye was not in a bad mood, but he said jokingly: "Don't rush to reply to her, let's see what she will do when she is anxious."

Afterwards, he put on his clothes and stood in front of the window to watch the sky outside. It was gloomy as if there was still a heavy rain about to fall. He could not go back to the palace today, so he told Eunuch Liang: "Let them come over and talk to me to relieve boredom. "

The emperor mentioned them, of course, meant the elder brothers who came with him. Manager Liang responded, and then he walked away and turned back, telling the emperor: "I was not on duty last night. When I came early in the morning, the little eunuch told me, The fourth elder brother came to Qingxi Bookstore in the middle of the night last night, but lingered in front of the door for a while, probably knowing that you had rested, and then left without saying anything."

Xuan Ye nodded: "I also went to bed early last night."

From last winter till now, Xuan Ye has listened to Lan Qi's words, and he has a fixed number of daily life and diet. He thinks that he still has a bigger ideal and ambition, and he wants to continue to be the master of the world. Without a strong body, he can't do it. It has been quite effective, but after forty, I feel more energetic day by day, and I am more convinced of Lan Qi's long-winded words, but she insists on regular living habits when there are no major incidents.

At this moment, he asked Eunuch Liang: "I remember that Yinzhen asked for an order to go back home yesterday, and he came back in the middle of the night to see me. Is there something wrong at home?"

Director Liang blamed himself: "I haven't asked before, my lord, if you want to have breakfast first, I will ask now."

Xuanye originally wanted to ask Yinzhen to have a meal together, but he was afraid that other brothers would stare at him, so he gave up and asked Director Liang to inquire, but Eunuch Liang returned without success, and he did not hear about the fourth elder brother's house. What's the matter here, and reported back: "I heard that Mrs. Fei Yanggu went to Si Fujin's residence last night. I don't know if Si Fujin is unwell. Si Ge said that he went back to the house to get something, so it may not be to visit Si Fujin. .”

Xuan Ye smiled: "If that's the case, why didn't he explain it to me generously?" But he thought in his heart that these days Lan Qi has been frowning, although he didn't mention it to himself, but he knew what Lan Qi was worried about. At the end of the year, it is a joy to add many emperors and grandchildren, but it has become a burden on their mother and son.

For the rest of the day, there was no chance to talk to Yinzhen alone, so Xuanye simply called his sons one by one in the evening to talk to each other, avoiding the curious thing of suddenly talking to the fourth prince alone, and talking to other sons Most of them are irrelevant, when he saw Yinzhen, the son was planning to wait for his father to ask about government affairs or knowledge, but Huang Ama didn't want to ask him straight to the point: "What's the matter at home, did you come here last night because you wanted to tell me? "

The fourth elder brother was stunned, and Xuan Ye said again: "If you have something to say, just say it, this is not the Forbidden City, let alone the Palace of Qianqing, I just came here to relax."

Only then did Yinzhen open his mouth, and lowered his head to answer his father: "Last night, I wanted to ask Huang Ama for an order to let my son go home again. Yuxi is not in good health, so my son is worried."

"It really is Yuxi." Xuan Ye said.

"No, it's not..." Yinzhen was afraid that his father would leave a bad impression on his wife, and wanted to explain but didn't know where to start, so he stammered instead.

Xuan Ye said: "Now you are entangled in housework."

Yinzhen was terrified, bent his knees and said: "Please don't misunderstand, Empress Huang, Yuxi has always been weak. She never pesters me, but I don't feel at ease."

"People inside and outside the palace are all saying that she has nothing to do with her knees. Do you think I can't hear it?" Xuan Ye looked serious, but he didn't get angry. He just said seriously, "As a Wife, it's inevitable to be worried about this, but you are her husband, why don't you comfort her well, and even your mother-in-law is worried along with you?"

Yinzhen didn't know what to do, so he could only say, "Please forgive me, Emperor Ama."

Xuan Ye said: "What's the use of my forgiveness, it's up to you to stabilize your family."

Yinzhen pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Huang Ama, I really don't know what to do. I don't want to cause trouble for Er Niang, and I have said everything to comfort Yuxi, but I can't stop you." In the mouth of Youyou, no matter how sensible Yuxi is, she will still be unable to bear the pressure of gossip, this son-in-law is not explaining for himself and his wife, but it is really not Yuxi's fault."

Xuan Ye smiled: "Whose fault is that?"

Xu Yinzhen was stunned, seeing Ama motioning him to stand up, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, stood with his hands behind his back, and said seriously: "I don't care how to coax your wife, but don't let you Er Niang is unhappy, let her be unhappy and worry about you, and I will come to you to settle accounts."

"But……"

"The rain has stopped outside. You can go back. You can't feel at ease living here. I will go back to the palace tomorrow. Your mother-in-law came to remind me early in the morning." Xuan Ye smiled and said impatiently to his son, "Even my wife is not a child. You can’t coax them well, how are you going to take on the important affairs of the court?”

Yinzhen's cheeks were reddish, he hung his head and was speechless, and was urged by his father again and again, so he just walked away graciously.

Xuan Ye didn't know how his son would comfort his wife when he returned home, but when he returned to the Forbidden City the next day, after finishing his work in the Qing Palace in the afternoon, he immediately came to Lan Qi to ask for credit.

Lan Qi listened to him lightly talking about his son's troubles at home, she unconsciously protected her son, blamed Xuan Ye for being unscrupulous, and complained: "The emperor at least explained a few words to his son, you just sent him away, and he still doesn't know what to do when he goes back .”

Xuan Ye laughed, "But I only know how to coax you."

Lan Qi was speechless, she wanted to put on a sullen face, but in the end she smiled helplessly, leaning against Xuan Ye and said: "The empress dowager used to always nagging, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, although the concubines can't help being curious about them Okay, but as long as you don't really intervene, you can still keep your sense of proportion. The emperor doesn't have to worry about the children, and he doesn't have to worry about his concubines being too worried. I was prepared early in the morning. If Yuxi couldn't help her up, I would break my heart for her It's no use either."
