Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Shun Anyan looked serious, seeing him so nervous, Tong Guowei couldn't help snorting, and said: "In the future, as a son-in-law, your responsibility is to make the princess happy. The son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty doesn't eat rice, and the emperor gave you the jewel in his palm. The future is naturally limitless. But everything depends on whether you can take good care of the princess. You have to understand the way of husband and wife with her, the way of monarch and minister. Grandpa can teach you how to be a servant, but he can't teach you how to get along with husband and wife. If you can't take care of the princess It's useless to be happy with the emperor, no matter how capable you are. I also told you earlier that if you marry the princess, you will not be able to enjoy the same blessings as other uncles and brothers. From now on, you can only guard the princess wholeheartedly. "

Maybe ten or 20 years older, this sentence will shake Shun Anyan, but now he is young and full of affection. In his eyes, only the princess is a treasure in the world, and other women are not eye-catching. How can he do it for the blessing of Qiren Instead of giving up the marriage with the princess, I will keep my grandfather's teachings in my heart at this moment, and solemnly swear that I will never disappoint the emperor's grace and my grandfather's upbringing.

After Shun Anyan rushed back to Wuying Hall to be on duty, outside the gate of the imperial city, the Governor of Liangjiang was having an audience. After the emperor came out, many colleagues were waiting there to congratulate him. He booed and called the forehead son-in-law jokingly in front of his face, but he couldn't hold back his face and left in a hurry.After all, the emperor has not officially issued an imperial decree, so it is best to be prudent and low-key.

At this time in Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Liang had already ordered the people under him that no matter who came other than the Empress Dowager, the emperor would never see him again, and the Laba Festival ceremony that was rewarded did not need to be thanked by other palaces. It's just that the emperor has been working really hard recently, so it would be nice to let him rest for a while, but I don't know that the empress has a heart, and the emperor also has a heart, so when the two meet now, it may not be possible to really have a good rest.

Let's say that Xuan Ye met Zhang Penghe, and when he talked about the rule of Hegong, he was absorbed in it for a while, and when the monarchs and ministers dispersed, he suddenly remembered that Lan Qi was still waiting for him in the Nuan Pavilion, and his heart sank, and he sat blankly at the table for a long time , just got up and walked outside.He didn't wear clothes to avoid the cold, and he was sober from the cold as soon as he went out. Eunuch Liang hurriedly brought a cloak to put on the emperor's shoulders. Xuanye pushed it away and asked, "What is your empress doing?"

Mr. Liang said: "The emperor won't let you disturb me, and the servants didn't dare to go in to have a look. You and Huanchun are in the room, so you will be able to serve your empress well."

Xuan Ye came all the way to Nuan Pavilion, the cotton curtain in front of the door was half lifted, and he heard the inside saying: "There is a wind blowing in, go and see if the emperor's place is gone." The emperor signaled her to go out quietly.After walking further in, she saw Lan Qi sitting cross-legged in front of the kang table with a game of chess on it. She was holding the chess record in one hand and the white jade chess piece in the other.This surprised Xuan Ye, the aura around Lan Qi just now did not make him expect to see such a scene.

Lan Qi turned her head inadvertently, she didn't see Huan Chun, but she saw Xuan Ye had come, she didn't even get up, she smiled warmly: "This game of chess can't be solved by my concubine."

Xuan Ye walked to her side, glanced at the chess record, and said impatiently: "I have told you this game of chess twice, why don't you remember it?"

Lan Qi flipped through the chess record, and said in disbelief: "When did the emperor say it, why don't the concubine remember it?" Seeing Xuan Ye's fierce face, vaguely recalling the previous things, it really was said, and the last time Xuan Ye said He had said it before, and he asked the same question himself, and he couldn't help laughing: "The chess records are all similar in length, and my concubine can't remember them."

Xuan Ye sat next to her, unlike the impatience just now, holding her hand and taking the chess pieces, patiently explaining each step, but he didn't pay attention to what he said, and Lan Qi couldn't pay attention, so she just watched intently. Xuan Ye's side face, the years and dust have left traces on his face, and he no longer has the white face and tenderness when he was young. Now that I think about it, the emperor was really childish back then, and now he is more masculine. old.

Thinking of herself getting old, thinking of the fine lines around her eyes she saw in the mirror in the morning, Lan Qi stepped back unconsciously, afraid that Xuan Ye would see clearly if she got too close, but she forgot that the emperor was holding her hand to play chess , This seemingly struggling to avoid, made Xuan Ye withdraw from the absent-minded explanation, looked deeply at Lan Qi, intentionally squeezed the hand holding her slightly, and asked: "Do you still want to learn?" gone?"

Lan Qi shook her head: "I don't care anymore."

"what happened?"

She smiled sweetly: "I just want to look at you. When the two places were separated, I didn't miss you so much, but I miss you so much when I'm close in front of you. Your Majesty, the words of my concubine sound pretentious, right?"

Xuan Ye nodded, let go of her hand and took the whole person into his arms. The big hand gently slid down from her shoulder and neck along the arm, stroking gently and repeatedly. He thought he was going to calm down like this, but the emperor suddenly asked: "Are you worried?"

"I just think that I am just like everyone else. I am afraid that I will grow old, I am afraid that after 40 years old, I will never be able to cuddle with you like this again." I thought I couldn't say it, but like his warm chest, All worries were left behind, she was at ease, without any scruples, and said in a low voice, "Lanying said that her way of being a husband is to tie Alinga to her side tightly, she is still young , acting coquettishly and foolishly is very cute, but I am old, and Nian Tong can write this handwriting, asking me to imitate her appearance and mess with you, I really can't do it."

Xuan Ye's chin lightly rubbed against her bun, Lan Qi still had a head of plump black hair, he smiled and said: "I haven't grown gray hair yet, how old are you? Someone was so proud earlier, saying No matter how old she is, she will always be younger than me."

Putting aside their superiority and inferiority, Lan Qi seemed to be talking between husband and wife, Lan Qi didn't know what to think, as if this was the last time she let go of her status as an imperial concubine in front of the emperor, and only wanted to say what she wanted to say .

"It was only when I was young that I had the energy to say such things, ignoring the passing of time, thinking that youth would last forever, but now looking back, I realize how reckless and superficial I am." Lan Qi smiled softly, her eyes flickered, and said, "Young Sometimes I can't see others in your arms, and I can still be jealous and act like a baby by relying on my youthful beauty. Now I have the intention to do so, even if you allow me to do so, I can't say it. People must be self-aware, but only see themselves It's so clear..."

The room suddenly fell silent, Xuan Ye was fascinated by what he heard, he couldn't help being startled, and asked the person in his arms: "What's wrong?"

Lan Qi sat up slowly, looked at her man affectionately, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that when I become a white-haired old woman, I will still have this kind of heart and temper, and I will find it troublesome to repeat myself."

Xuan Ye smiled: "At the end of the day, it's because I met all of them on the road, and you got angry."

Lan Qi shook her head, but asked: "The emperor said that we have nothing to say between us, and my concubine would like to ask you a few words?"

Xuan Ye nodded and scolded her: "You have always been suspicious."

"The concubine wants to ask the emperor, what do you think of Min Changzai?" Lan Qi asked, her whole body relaxed, and although her eyes showed timidity, she stared closely at Xuan Ye's eyes, thinking she would see Xuanye's expression was cramped, but the person in front of him only showed a strange look, and asked her, "Why did you suddenly mention Minchang?"

Lan Qi was slightly embarrassed, she pursed her lips and said, "Does the emperor like her?"

Xuan Ye shook his head: "I just think she is a person who can make people feel at ease and serve her. I used to be kind to her, but I didn't want her to have anything happen in Yikun Palace. You feel guilty because of this, and now it's just , a person who is usually by my side."

Lan Qi asked, "Is the emperor telling the truth?"

Xuan Ye smiled: "Why not tell the truth, I have never concealed my love for the imperial concubine from you, you can see it." He felt strange when he said that, and couldn't help asking, "I thought you were jealous because of the things on the road, or were you jealous?" I can't tolerate those young people, why only Ti Min is always there?" He even recalled it carefully, and said to Lan Qi vaguely, "I just met her a few times, and didn't do those things."

Lan Qi's cheeks were flushed, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine knows."

"you know?"

"Liu Guan's daughter is pregnant, of course the concubine has to investigate, but it's a pity that the child was not kept."

Xuan Ye didn't care about that child at all, but somehow became happy, and narrowly followed Lan Qi's eyes and asked, "You also checked someone else's?"

"Shun, take a look by the way." Lan Qi saw herself in Xuan Ye's eyes. If you say that Xuan Ye's face has been soaked with the traces of time, but his eyes are as hot and affectionate as ten years ago. Her gaze has never changed, and she is still worrying about gains and losses, and she is no different from Xiao Changzai back then.

Now her daughter is in love with Shun Anyan, and she is heartbroken; Chen Changzai is also in love with the emperor, and she is almost lovesick.In their teenage years, they should have such enthusiasm, what are they? The age of 40 is just around the corner, and she hasn't made any progress in her bones. She still treats herself as a young girl in her twenties, greedy for Xuan Ye's attention to her, and domineeringly unwilling to take a little space in his heart for others.

But Xuanye understood what Lan Qi was thinking, and he felt relaxed physically and mentally. Just now, he was holding her with a guarded attitude, but now he turned around and lay down lazily on Lan Qi's stomach as a pillow. Said: "You frightened me, thinking that there are some big things, I must calm down in the future, what big things can happen to you, but if there are big things, you will become more frustrated and courageous, and you will only torture me with these inexplicable small things .”

Lan Qi gently touched his cheek, and said unconvinced: "The small things in the eyes of the emperor are the big things in the hearts of my concubines. Without you, I have nothing."

Xuan Ye glanced sideways at her, turned his face and closed his eyes for a nap, but said in his mouth: "How can I let you have nothing, I will take care of everything for you, even in the future..."

Xuan Ye wanted to say, "Even if you have to go first in the future, I will take care of you in advance", but he didn't say it.

Looking at the year of his destiny, his reverence for life and nostalgia for the world are getting deeper and deeper. Rather than being attached to the throne, it is better to say that there are people and things that are more worthy of his cherishment. He thought he would spend the time as an "emperor" All my life, this is no longer the case.

Then Lan Qi asked in a voice like a mosquito: "Why did you meet everyone on the road?"
