Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi looked at Concubine Yi expressionlessly, then turned her gaze away and ignored her.I thought Concubine Yi would leave after standing still, but she didn't leave for a long time. After that sentence, she didn't know whether she wanted to tell Xing'er or Lan Qi deliberately, but she said in a rambling manner: "You used to be in Yikun. Gong, I didn't come here simply. Although I treated you badly, everyone is clear. Wen Ke is with me, and I have never abused her. No matter how I treat your daughter, I will do my best. You are lucky, you are going now, and you don’t have to suffer here again.”

Only then did Lan Qi raise her gaze to look at Concubine Yi, and saw that she was covering the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, she didn't look at herself, but still said to Xing'er: "You used to love Shi Shi very much, but he's gone. At that time, you didn't come to see me. I was so sad that I was dying. There was no one in Yikun Palace who came to comfort me sincerely. I thought that if you were still there, you would at least say a few words of truth. Looking back, I stayed in the Forbidden City for more than [-] years, but I didn't earn anything."

"I'm going to be 40 years old, but I'm still confused and don't know how to live my life. I wonder whether I'm too stupid or life is really hard, but I always don't have an answer." Yi Fei sighed heavily, looking at the The person who didn't respond at all gave a bitter smile, "Let's live like this in the future, don't hesitate if you want to fight, whether it's mine or not, I won't be polite if I want it, anyway, there is nothing better How to live. What I want doesn’t belong to me, so I can only fight for it.”

Lan Qi's heart sank, somehow, when Concubine Yi said this, she felt relieved.If Concubine Yi took this opportunity to show her kindness to her, she would become troublesome if she wanted to get closer in the future. It is difficult to change the nature of the country, and maybe Concubine Yi is not a bad person, but she has the right to choose to make friends. She does not want to be with Yi Concubine. The concubine communicates a lot.

As for what Concubine Yi came to say about this call, I guess Concubine Yi didn't understand it herself. She still acts so willfully until now, and she can't be understood by the behavior of ordinary people.When Lan Qi was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Concubine Yi scream, she glanced over, and sure enough, the person on the bed convulsed and vomited blood again, Concubine Yi backed away in fright, and finally ran away directly, the people outside said that the empress was going to He went back to find the princess, but she disappeared as soon as she left.

On this side, the maids and eunuchs seem to be used to it. Lan Ying sat with her sister and waited for them to clean up. Then she went to the bed to look, only to see Xing'er slightly opened her eyes, which seemed to be wandering with the last trace of life. I have seen such eyes before. When the memory floated back to Yingtai more than ten years ago, the eyes of the little girl who was beaten to death by the vicious court lady once had such a scene, but at that time she could see the desire to survive. For a moment, why is there a sadness that she wants to leave safely?

"Sister, Huanchun said that the fourth elder brother is on an errand for the emperor. I can't find anyone at the moment, and I probably have to come in later today." After hearing Huanchun's words, Lanying conveyed, and reminded, "Xiaoyu is seriously ill, don't If you are willing to take the medicine and want to go with her master wholeheartedly, what do you think should be done, should you just leave it alone?"

Lan Qi shook her head and told her younger sister: "You take Princess Dunke to her. If you are still not sober and strong, then there is nothing you can do. They have their own temperament."

Lanying promised that when she was about to leave, she wanted to say something to her sister, but seeing her heavy expression, she swallowed it anyway. As an outsider, she shouldn't talk too much. Many things are often easy for others to see, but Because it didn't happen to me.

The room quickly quieted down, Xing'er still opened her eyes slightly, as if conscious and as if her soul had been scattered outside the clouds long ago, Lan Qi looked at her cheek, although she had been tormented for two days, she still had a beautiful face His face was just pale and bloodless.

Lan Qi got up and walked to her mirror stand, took the compact rouge in her hand, sat back on the bed, and carefully poured these things on her face.

Carmine spread out on her face, as if she had a rosy glow of life, Xing'er looked no longer so pitiful, as if she was just asleep.When Lan Qi put down the things in her hands, her eyes seemed to be completely opened, Lan Qi saw her eyeballs moving, and couldn't help saying: "This looks good, Wen Ke and sisters are so beautiful, they all follow you. "

But when she said such words, there would be no reaction. At most, there would be a few lights in her eyes. Maybe she had a lot to say, but at the last moment of her life, the breath she held might be her unfinished business. wish.

"Xing'er, the emperor has promoted you to be a concubine, the head of Yanxi Palace, and people will call you empress from now on." Lan Qi said with a smile, "When we first met, I was there Concubine, I always remember you saying that when you entered the palace, the apricot blossoms happened to be in bloom, so I named you Xing'er."

"Back then, I left you a pair of emerald earrings. You were framed for stealing and beaten, and then I brought you into the palace. I went through so many things. You worked so hard in Yikun Palace, but you gritted your teeth and survived. , what is worth your sacrifice?" After saying that, Lan Qi burst into tears, "I'll invite the emperor, okay?"

But at this moment, originally it was Lan Qi holding Xing'er's hand, at this moment Xing'er seemed to exhaust all her strength to hold Lan Qi's hand tightly, her nails almost sank into her palm, she used a lot of strength She grabbed herself, and even when Lan Qi wanted to withdraw her hand, she didn't let go.

"You are happy, you also want the emperor to come, don't you?" Lan Qi asked, but she still didn't let go of her tightly clutched hand, she couldn't help asking again, "Then I won't invite you?"

The strength in the palm of her hand disappeared after the words fell, and the body that was about to twitch again just now finally stabilized, and Xing'er's face regained its tranquility, but in Lan Qi's eyes, she knew what she should do.

When the fourth elder brother entered the palace, the setting sun had already dispersed from the western sky. He came exhausted and went to his mother first. Lan Qi asked him where he came from. Went on a business trip, and came back to life in Qianqing Palace."

Lan Qi asked: "How is Huang Ama?"

The son replied blankly: "Ama Huang, everything is fine, but she looks a little tired, just like you are now, Er Niang."

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously, and asked again: "Have you visited Yinxiang?"

Yinzhen shook his head and said, "After greeting Er Niang, I will go there."

Lan Qi quickly said: "Yinxiang fell asleep, the imperial doctor said he was very tired, you don't need to rush to see him."

The fourth elder brother said: "Huanchun said that Erniang was anxious to ask me to enter the palace to take care of Shisan."

Lan Qi struggled to pull out a smile, and said to her son gently: "How about helping Er Niang with something?" Seeing that her son was confused, she said slowly, "Go to Qianqing Palace again and tell Huang Ama , just saying that Empress Min is dying, so that Yinxiang will not be despised by others in the future, I beg Huang Ama to send his biological mother for the last time."

Yinzhen immediately agreed, but his mother asked again: "This is what you mean, not Er Niang, do you understand?" She repeated, "Don't let Huang Ama know, it was Er Niang who asked you to do this. , just think of it as your consideration for your younger brother. Don’t worry, Erniang didn’t want you to do this to express your brotherhood to your Ama, but to be considerate of my feelings, son, can you agree? "

Although the fourth elder brother didn't know how he wanted to be considerate of his mother, since his mother said so, there was no reason for a son not to nod, and after repeatedly agreeing, he turned and went to Qianqing Palace.The son ran away, Lan Qi got up and went to the bedside to look at Xing'er, without saying anything, she went to Yinxiang's room to wake up the child from his lethargy, and when Yinxiang woke up, she was really anxious I want to run to my mother's side.

When Shengjia stopped at the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Lan Qi was already waiting in front of the palace gate, the two of them met their eyes, Xuan Ye walked up to her and asked: "Yinzhen begged me to come, is it about to die?"

Lan Qi nodded without saying a word, and followed Xuan Ye quietly. After entering the door, Elder Brother Thirteen buried his face deeply in the quilt beside the bed, neither crying nor fussing, and was taken aback when his father touched his head.

Yinxiang broke down a little when he saw Huang Ama, but Xuan Ye patted him on the shoulder and said: "I should tell your mother that you will live well from now on, and you will take care of the two younger sisters for her. It's what you should say."

The father and son were talking, while Lan Qi's eyes were fixed on Xing'er's face. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and the tears were constantly streaming down. She was not as excited as when she was holding onto her tightly just now. She was so serene and peaceful, as if she was in Listening carefully to the conversation between father and son, Lan Qi's throat seemed to be blocked by something, but her heart was open.

After a while, Lan Qi finally said: "Chen Qie went to bring Dun Ke, Wen Ke's child Yi Fei brought her here, but the child refused to see her, Chen Qie thought, don't force her."

Xuan Ye nodded: "You can do as you see."

Lan Qi turned around and went to look for Dunke. When she got to the door, she heard the emperor saying to her son: "Ama can only do these things for you. How you go in the future depends on how promising you are. There is no difference in respect between you brothers..."

Hearing these words and leaving, she didn't hear what the father and son said in the second half.When the heartbroken Dun Ke was brought in, the little girl was not as restrained as her elder brother. She burst into tears as soon as she entered the door. Xuan Ye hugged her daughter and talked to her. Unknowingly, she passed the midnight like this. Eunuch Liang came to remind her Several times, after all, the emperor will go to court early tomorrow.

The emperor came suddenly, there were still some matters left unfinished in the Qianqing Palace, and soon after midnight, he decided to go back. The thirteenth elder brother said that he would send Huang Ama off, but Lan Qi didn't go out with her.

Sitting next to Xing'er again, Lan Qi smiled slightly and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "I put rouge on you before, the emperor didn't see your haggard appearance, Xing'er, you are very beautiful." Touching Xing'er's palm, she said tearfully, "In the next life, how about we be sisters?"

The person on the couch held her fingers with the last strength, but the strength quickly disappeared. Seeing that both hands were about to let go, Lan Qi held Xing'er's hand and squeezed her fingers tightly again, crying Ticks fell on each other's hands, she looked at each other with tears in her eyes, and said, "I'm here for the children, don't worry."
