Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Seeing that the emperor was obviously stunned for a moment, Chen Changzai lowered his eyes and said softly, "I don't know how to count the days, it's been about four months."

Xuan Ye nodded, looked at her and said, "No wonder you seem to have gained some plumpness, but you can't see it too much. You should let the imperial physician take a look. Why didn't you tell me all this time? You just discovered it now?"

Chen Changzai shook his head: "When the concubine found out that there seemed to be one, the emperor was about to lead the army to fight, and the concubine didn't dare to say it for fear of causing trouble to you and your ladies. You wanted to say it after you came back, but Sifu Jin Good news came, everyone was happy for Empress Concubine De, the concubine couldn't find a chance to speak, so he didn't make it. Unfortunately, Elder Elder Brother suddenly disappeared, and the concubine wants to say something sooner or later, if it can make you a little happy Some are also good."

Xuan Ye said: "You have a son of mine, I am naturally happy." But even so, the emperor's reaction was calm, and soon he called Eunuch Liang to him and asked him to send Chen Changzai back to Zhongcui Palace. Let the imperial doctor check and record the date, and then report to the queen mother to know.

Before Chen Chang left, the emperor said to her: "You are pregnant, and I am naturally happy, but right now Concubine Yi is sad, and I am also sad, so I can only wrong you."

Eunuch Liang sent Chen Changzai back very politely, and told his concubine Duan. Concubine Duan was taken aback, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Concubine Rong and Concubine De that the imperial physician and the people from the House of Internal Affairs came together and looked through the notes. The next day, Chen Chang felt that the baby's month and day did match, but no one noticed it for several months. Concubine Duan said anxiously: "It's my fault if you want to have a good or bad day. Seeing that you are quiet, how can you hide this from me? Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me?"

In the Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Liang reported the relevant matters back and forth, confirming in what month Chen Chang will give birth, and the imperial physician said that everything is fine, but the emperor didn't care much, and instead ordered him casually: "Since you are pregnant, let the House of Internal Affairs stop. Green card."

Eunuch Liang felt that there was nothing abnormal, so he answered yes, and the emperor said again: "After giving birth next year, there is no need to restore the green head card, just stop it for now."

"Your servant has written it down." Mr. Liang thought about the emperor's words, and then thought about the indifferent expression on the emperor's face before and at this moment. It could be seen that Chen Chang seemed to have offended Longyan unconsciously. Looking at the scene, I'm afraid there will be no future, but why the emperor is unhappy, Director Liang can't think of it for a while.

Originally, the Zhongcui Palace had always been peaceful and peaceful. Although the concubines in it were not favored all year round, they were all concubines who had given birth and had good friends with Concubine De. There is a big reason why people can get along in harmony because they don't favor each other, and there is no conflict of interest. Everyone is the same, and life will naturally be easier.After Chen Changzai came, because of his young age, he was taken care of by his sisters. At that time, Ziguang watched Wang Changzai domineering in the palace, and they felt sorry for the little Chen being forgotten by the emperor, but in recent years, he has gradually become the star of Qianqing Palace. Although the sisters and sisters have scruples in their hearts, because Chen Changzai is gentle and humble, he never shows off his favor, whether the nobleman is a concubine or a concubine, he is willing to look at the brilliance of her body magnanimously.

But this time, Concubine Duan was very worried. She didn't understand why Chen Changzai kept it a secret for so long, and insisted on telling the emperor himself. No matter how Chen Changzai explained it, in her opinion, it seemed that Chen Changzai was She was guarding against them, as if they were afraid that they would harm the child in her womb.Although he didn't turn his back on him face to face, the Chen family who mentioned the backyard when he told others, no longer had the smile and tolerance of the past.

As for the Yonghe Palace, even though she knew about it, Concubine De didn't come to visit her. Lady Bu came back from Yonghe Palace and went directly to Concubine Duan's room. As expected, seeing her depressed, Lady Dai waved her hand and pulled her aside. Said: "Sister Bu, my mother is not happy, she said that Chen Changzai did it on purpose, and she is angry right now."

Bu Guiren nodded, turned around and smiled: "Ms. De Concubine asked my concubine to bring you a sentence, saying that if you feel that the backyard can't be moved, just move Chen Changzai. Just be quiet."

Concubine Duan sighed heavily: "Let's see first. If we really misjudged her, she is a restless person at heart. Then the Forbidden City is big. She likes to go wherever she likes. Zhongcui Palace is a small place, so it's not quiet. .”

In this way, the original amicable atmosphere in Zhongcui Palace was broken, and Chen Changzai had been isolated by the first three unintentionally. Although they would not do anything excessive to her, the intimacy of being able to talk and laugh together in the past Hard to see.If this is a blow to Chen Changzai, it is nothing compared to the emperor's attitude, because after two or three days after that day, the emperor never came to care about her and the fetus again. She was pregnant, but she couldn't compare to Miguiren's former glory. She lived deep in the Zhongcui Palace, and the already shining light on her body was covered by many palace gates.

For this, Chen Chang's hesitation in his heart can be imagined, and outsiders will also be surprised when they look at such a thing.I really wanted to find a plausible reason, probably because I didn't want to irritate the heartbroken Concubine Yi.

However, Concubine Yi's heartbreak is completely different from that of Concubine De, who lost her sixth elder brother. From the time when her eleventh elder brother is gone, as long as she is energetic, she will definitely try to pester the emperor and ask him to investigate thoroughly. this matter.After all, how could a good-looking child fall into the river for no reason, and what happened that night must be found out.She stopped the emperor on the road every day, and stood guard at the gate of Qianqing Palace every day to beg the emperor to see her. At first, the people in the palace pitied her for the pain of losing a child, but after a long time, she felt annoyed and somewhat disliked Concubine Yi's behavior.And the royal family announced to the outside world that elder brother Eleven had died of a sudden illness. If Concubine Yi made such a fuss, the emperor might soon lose her patience.

Even the queen mother impatiently complained to Lan Qi, asking if there was any way to stop asking Concubine Yi to make trouble with the emperor, Lan Qi expressed embarrassment to the queen mother and didn't know what to do, but when talking to Huan Chun in private, she said with tears: " If she really wants to seek justice for Brother Eleven, I admire her. Back then, I didn’t want to seek justice for Yin Zuo. Even now, I still want those people to pay for their lives. Let Concubine Yi make trouble on her own No matter what her result is, only by making a fuss can those people be afraid."

Huanchun reassured the master not to bring up any sad things, and said: "The servant girl heard a few words, saying that the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the eleventh elder brother played together that night. It was dark at night. The three elder brothers went to nowhere. The people in Yikun Palace were afraid of making too much publicity, so they only looked for someone in private. The tenth elder brother was taken back by the Ningshou Palace early in the morning, and the ninth elder brother also ran away by himself. Those who went back to Yikun Palace, waited for the people below to find elder brother eleven, he had already floated in the Inner Jinshui River, but they didn't find anyone who saw elder brother eleven fall."

Lan Qi said: "Brothers know how to drink water, brother Eleven can too."

Huan Chun nodded: "If not, why would you still be angry after being rescued, but why didn't Brother Eleven call for help? Even if there are few people there, it doesn't mean that no one will respond to the call."

"When I went to see Brother Eleven to be coffined, he had a wound on his forehead. I don't know if he was injured when he fell, or if he was injured on the shore and then thrown down. I guess he must not be able to cry if he doesn't cry. You can't scream, otherwise why wouldn't you call for help?" Lan Qi said with a heavy heart, and said heartbrokenly, "The emperor should be very upset, how could such a thing happen when he is fine."

On the same day, Xiaohezi came to Yonghe Palace alone not long after, saying that he was going to the palace with the fourth elder brother to pay his respects, but the fourth elder brother asked the prince to invite him on the way, saying that the prince had obtained excellent calligraphy and painting and wanted to share it with the fourth elder brother. Let the fourth elder brother pick a few and hang them in the room of the concubine Defei.Lan Qi didn't care, and only told Xiao Hezi to be careful to wait outside Yuqing Palace, and told him not to meddle in the affairs of Yuqing Palace.

But Yinzhen was called here by his second brother, not to admire some calligraphy and painting.Although Yinzhen has always been thinking about the figure that night, it happened to be close to the place where Eleven drowned, and that person came from the direction of drowning, the panicked appearance must have happened to something, the bundle of tapes that fell on the ground If it was really made by Wen Fujin, then the crown prince probably carried it with him, and he was very worried that the person he met that night was the crown prince.These days, he was troubled, wondering if he could investigate, but naturally he knew in his heart that he must not take the initiative to involve himself in such a matter, and he would not come to ask the prince.

But the crown prince chose him among all the elder brothers. No matter how entangled he was with the mother and son in Yonghe Palace, the crown prince still knew in his heart that the fourth brother was reliable.He didn't dare to think about what happened this time, and he was uneasy these days, for fear that his figure appearing nearby would be seen by others.

But Yinzhen didn't expect that the second elder brother said when he saw him: "I don't know that Shi Shi is floating there, fourth, do you believe me? When I ran there that night, I saw a person floating on the water. I thought it was a little eunuch or something, so I was startled and afraid of getting into trouble, so I ran away, but I didn't expect it to be the eleventh younger brother. Yinzhen, do you think Huang Ama will investigate? Will find out I was there that night? But I really didn't do anything, I didn't push him into the water."

The fourth elder brother was taken aback. He did not expect the prince to admit to him. Yinzhen expressed surprise on his face, but he immediately decided in his mind that he could not tell the prince what he saw that night. He reassured the second elder brother not to worry too much. When you arrive, tell Huang Ama frankly that Huang Ama will believe him.

But the prince said in despair: "If Huang Ama finds out where I was that night, he will definitely not believe me. What happened last time made him half dead, how could he still believe me?"

The fourth elder brother couldn't understand, and he didn't dare to ask what happened last time, so he could only pursue this time, and asked the second elder brother awkwardly: "What are you doing there alone at night?"
