Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The Crown Princess was taken aback, and smiled awkwardly: "I never noticed it, could it be that Mrs. Jue Chan is doing well in the palace?"

Yinhu hurriedly said: "My brother's words are inappropriate. My brother thinks that now that I have left the palace, it is rare for me to enter the palace. I must pay my respects to Concubine Hui. On the contrary, my greetings to the noble Juechan are even less than before. I dare not Please trouble the Crown Princess, it is your kindness that wants to do something for my younger brother, my younger brother just said that when he was in a hurry, it is just a filial piety, it is really..."

The princess smiled and said: "Babeile has always been smart and intelligent, but now he stammers and doesn't express his meaning. It seems that I really scared you. Anyway, I understand your intentions, even once or twice, I will For you, pay attention to the nobleman Haojue Chan, and tonight, I believe that Babeile will keep the prince and me a secret."

Yinhu was certain in his heart that he was perfunctory. After thanking the princess, he hurriedly left Yuqing Palace and returned to elder brother's residence, but he didn't sleep all night. He left the palace the next day on the pretext that the concubine Defei was going back to Beijing. , but went straight home, wanting to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fujin hadn't seen her husband for several days, seeing Yinhu haggard and tired, she wanted to serve him quietly, but her husband told herself what happened last night, Fujin listened calmly, and said for a while: "It's okay to say it." It's just that the crown prince is a little disrespectful, and it's not a big deal."

Yinhu hurriedly said: "When I saw the princess yesterday, I calmed down. Sure enough, you and I are on the same page. But she wants to do something for me so that we can get even. I knew they must be guarding against me. Everything in Qing Palace, everything in Yuqing Palace, the way I arranged it last night, I can hide it from the guards, eunuchs and maids, but I can't hide it from Huang Ama, who is thousands of miles away. We brothers knew it since we were young. Every move in Yuqing Palace is in the eyes of Huang Ama."

Bafujin nodded: "Since you have bumped into this matter, the prince must suspect that you will tell others. It is inevitable that the emperor will ask the teacher to ask the crime, and maybe you will take the initiative to admit your mistake to the emperor. Now you are perfunctory about the prince's concubine. Take care of my mother, then even if the emperor asks you for questions in the future, there will be nothing you can't say, it's just a filial piety."

Yinhu was delighted by his wife's calmness: "If Huang Ama comes to ask me later, she must have asked the prince first. Then I might as well insist that I don't know. As a brother, I have to be loyal to the prince, which is brotherhood." deep."

Ba Fujin just asked worriedly: "Then will the emperor think that you have been unfaithful to him?"

Yinhu said: "We are father and son, and he is heaven. There is no such thing as loyalty to his father. I believe what he values ​​more is the relationship between us brothers. Brotherly love is also filial piety." He said, His brows were furrowed, obviously he was still thinking about more important things, and suddenly his heart was agitated, but he asked his wife, "Would it scare you if I worry so much?"

Ba Fujin smiled: "I have been in Prince An's Mansion for more than ten years, which day did I deal with them like this? Neither you nor I have any malicious intentions, but I just don't want to be used and bullied. It's not easy for me and it's even more difficult for you. Why should I be afraid of you? Instead, I want to tell you that you have worked hard."

Yinhu's heart warmed up, and then he reminded his wife that Concubine De would be returning to the palace in a few days, so she should remember to go to the palace to greet her.

At this moment, Empress Defei was already on her way back. Early in the morning, she was escorted by Shun Anyan with guards. When she passed through the yamen of various places, the local government would arrange to pick her up and see her off. The brigade still followed Shengjia, and Defei took her away Only enough to consider the safety of their mother and daughter.In fact, it was obvious that no one knew how many troops the emperor secretly sent.

Because Xiao Chen'er was reluctant to part with her sister, Concubine De finally took her two daughters back to the capital, and Princess Wenxian really started to feel dizzy and weak as soon as she got into the carriage and walked not far. Fortunately, she was going back to the capital. Going to Harqin, the child will suffer even more.Wen Xian didn't dare to speak out any more, she could stand it, and rushed all the way to the capital, a few days later when it was approaching the capital, someone rushed up ahead, it was the fourth elder brother who brought people to pick up his mother.

"Does this count as AWOL?" Lan Qi felt sweet and warm when she saw her son, but she couldn't help but care about his errand.

"If Erniang can't go home safely, Huang Ama will really lose his temper." Seeing that his mother and sister are safe and sound, the son's long-suspended heart is relieved, but the mother and son have a temper, and Yinzhen can't help muttering , "Why did Huang Ama send you back like this? If there is any mistake on the way, it would be better to let me pick you up. But I can't wait for the order, and I dare to run out only this way."

While talking, Yinzhen went to visit Wen Xian, and seeing his younger sister nestled motionless like a kitten, he couldn't help teasing her: "Our devil incarnate, what's going on?"

Wen Xian rushed his elder brother to make tiger claws with his fingers, and said softly, "Wait until I recover, and watch me bite you."

The whole family happily entered the city, cleared the roads in the city, and sent the concubine De and the princess back to the palace. got there.

As soon as Lan Qi entered the door, she heard Nian Tong's voice first, and saw the little girl running out nimbly, followed by Hong Hui stumbling out from the threshold, but couldn't stand still and sat down on her buttocks. Nian Tong ran halfway and heard her brother crying With a sound, they turned back and lifted Hong Hui up, but the grandmother had already arrived, hugging them from left to right.

After Yuxi hurriedly saluted her mother-in-law, she went to Wen Xian's side, while Li Fangfujin stayed here to look after the child. After seeing that everything was in order, Lan Qi went back to the dormitory to wash and change her clothes.Not long after, the daughter-in-law came back and told her with a smile: "My sister is already asleep. The imperial doctor said that there is nothing serious, and she will be fine after a few days of recuperation. However, my sister's constitution may not be suitable for traveling, so I need to be more careful in the future."

Lan Qi was sitting in front of the mirror, combing her hair. Huan Chun saw that Fujin was eager to try, so she smiled and handed over the comb and said, "Your maidservant is going to change clothes too, can you bother Fujin to comb her hair?"

Yuxi hurriedly took the hand, and waited for Huanchun and the others to go down before coming to help Erniang tuck her hair. The bun has been recombed, all she needs to do is to smooth out the fine hairpins, and then put on the pearl hairpins and jade hairpins one by one. She did it carefully, and when she was ready to be served, she looked in the mirror and couldn't help but say, "Er Niang is so pretty."

Lan Qi smiled and said, "It's already old."

Yuxi helped her to sit aside, wanted to serve tea, handed a bowl of tea to her mother-in-law, and said timidly: "Emiang, I've changed a lot these days, and Yinzhen and I will never fight again, you Will you still be angry about what happened before? Forgive my wife, okay? "

"My mother is like an evil mother-in-law." Lan Qi smiled and asked Yuxi to sit down. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about family affairs and children's affairs affectionately. Outside, Tong and Honghui laughed continuously, while Yuxi was worried. Said, "But Hongyu is not well, I wanted to bring him into the palace with you today to make you happy, but the child vomited again in the morning, with a small body, according to the doctor's words, it is really hard."

While talking, there was a commotion outside, and I heard Nian Tong Jiao Didi calling Fourteenth Uncle, and sure enough, I saw Fourteenth Brother come in like a gust of wind, Yuxi got up and went aside, Yinti came up without any rules and sat down next to her mother, She asked with concern: "Is Er Niang safe all the way?"

Lan Qi said: "Your fourth sister-in-law is here."

Yuxi laughed hurriedly: "My brother, there is no need to be strict with etiquette. Er Niang is talking to the fourteenth brother, and my son is going to see Xiao Chen'er."

Watching his sister-in-law leave, Yinti said, "Sister-in-law Si is the same as before." Sure enough, the children see things simply, and the sister-in-law in their eyes has indeed changed. Lan Qi didn't speak, but the son continued: "These days , Fourth sister-in-law often sent someone to ask me if I was okay, and even gave me Western toys, saying that I was bored at home alone."

"Eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. When Erniang is away, you should listen to sister-in-law." Lan Qi responded, but seeing a scar on her son's chin, she frowned and asked what's wrong, but Yinti said nonchalantly, "I wrestled with Wenda." Yes, it's all right."

The mother is always suspicious, twisting her son's cheek to look carefully at the scar, but Yinzhen avoided it, ran to the door and took a look, then leaned against Er Niang, and said softly: "Er Niang, I see It's something incredible."

Lan Qi was shocked in her heart, but her face was calm, and she deliberately laughed at her son: "What a big fuss, what can happen?"

Yinti frowned and said nervously: "Emiang, don't laugh at me, it's true, I saw the prince wandering around the palace in eunuch's clothes, what do you think he is going to do?"

Only then did Lan Qi get worried, why is he the prince again, why did he dress up as a eunuch again, what is wrong with the prince, why does he always like to do such creepy things?

Yinti continued: "I was afraid that I might be wrong, so I secretly followed him for a while. It must be the prince."

Lan Qi was so helpless, she could only ask her son, "Did you tell anyone?"

Fourteenth elder brother said solemnly: "No one said anything, I planned to tell Myna, but in the next few days, he was not much in the palace, and I couldn't run into him."

"You want to tell Eighth Prince?" Lan Qi smiled awkwardly.

"Otherwise?" Fourteen didn't think anything was wrong at first, but the child was very smart, and immediately understood what his mother meant, and said with a smile, "I want to tell fourth brother, but I can't go out to find him if he doesn't enter the palace. .”

Lan Qi was afraid that her words would cause her son to misunderstand or worry too much, so she hurriedly changed the topic, denied Yinzhen at the same time, and told Yinti: "In the future, if you encounter such embarrassing things, no matter if it is the fourth brother or the eighth brother, you will not be allowed to talk about it." Go tell, you can only tell Er Niang."

The son didn't quite understand, and muttered: "Could it be that I have to report to Er Niang first when I leave the palace in the future?"

This sentence stopped Lan Qi from asking, she slowly calmed down, and asked seriously: "Tell Er Niang, what do you think of the crown prince and other brothers?"

Yinti said without hesitation: "It's brothers and sisters, how should we treat it?" He paused, then smiled, "Is Er Niang afraid that I will get along with myna and disrespect my fourth brother in the future?"

Lan Qi didn't speak, but her son said, "Fourth brother and I are from the same mother."
