Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Leaving the Palace of Yanxi Palace with the sound of crying, Lan Ying followed behind her sister, seeing her body gradually becoming light from heavy, she felt that the emperor would finally come, she didn't know what it meant to the dead, but her sister It can be regarded as letting go of the burden in my heart.She caught up with Lan Qi, and she just called out to her sister, but she saw that the relaxed-looking elder sister burst into tears, so she couldn't help but ask nervously, "Sister is feeling sad?"

Lan Qi shook her head, aware of her tears, she covered her tears with a silk handkerchief, and walked towards the Yonghe Palace with light steps.

The night breeze was blowing, and it was already the coolness of early autumn. Lan Ying heard her sister say: "People pass away every day in the Forbidden City, and the palace maids and eunuchs quietly disappear from here. Even princes and princesses, there are always one or two of these people in a year. Over the past 20 years, I have sent away so many people, and I have never been in such a complicated state of mind. In the past, I was just sad or indifferent, but this Once, I thought about it a lot."

Lanying couldn't understand her sister's words, so she said softly, "Isn't it because you don't want Shemin to be around all the time that you cry, isn't that enough?"

Lan Qi nodded: "Yes, that's enough."

"Anyway, the matter is over, you should rest well in a few days, maybe you need to worry about her affairs." Lan Ying sighed, "They are all poor people, and I don't know if Da Fujin has been sent back."

After daybreak that day, news of the death of Concubine Min of Yanxi Palace spread throughout the palace and outside the palace. After being promoted to the position of concubine, it is reasonable for the emperor to pursue the concubine, but a deceased person with a negligible family background is not worthy of the ministers' criticism and criticism of the emperor's decision.

The imperial decree was quickly spread to the inner palace, and Concubine Min's funeral was naturally held according to the standard of concubine status. In this way, many people from the clan's relatives, nobles, civil and military ministers came to express their condolences, and Concubine Min's Zigong stopped in Yanzhou. When the Palace of Jubilee, which had always been a quiet place, finally became lively, it was because of this kind of thing.

The prince and princess first came to mourn Concubine Min and offer incense. They were still in shock. The glass of wine or the plate of snacks in Dafujin was delivered to them by a slight mistake. Now it is their dead who accept the incense. The tragedy that happened was to go straight to the prince, and thinking about it now still makes him feel palpitations. In the past few days, he feels inexplicably that it is good to be alive.

The other princes, Prince Baylor, etc. also came to the palace to express their condolences. Because the men had some errands, the female relatives would come to meet the occasion in advance. Concubine Min was treated so favorably by the emperor before she died. Of course, these things were done for the emperor to see. Well, how many people here have never even seen the appearance of Concubine Min, and when they held incense and saluted, they really didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

If there are too many people, it will be hard to turn around, so I have to ask a few people to wait for a while. The summer heat is not over in late July, and the sun is also a bit fierce in the morning. Well, people who know a little bit of etiquette will not show it on their faces, but some people can't bear it. After all, they still look down on the dead from the bottom of their hearts.

Several elder brothers Fujin came together, and there were several princes and concubines and old Fujin offering incense and salutes in the palace. The people in Yanxi Palace were busy, so they could only ask a few elder brothers Fujin to wait under the eaves. People are extremely polite, but for a while they didn't care about time at all, but they heard Sanfujin yelling: "At least put a few stools here, which maiden's servant in the palace is so stupid? Really? It's very strange, and I haven't seen anyone who is like usual. After getting such a big benefit, she is shoulder to shoulder with Queen Hesheli's sister. It's a pity that the humble background has not changed. Look at the servants in this house, they are all the same. Sub-shabby phase."

"Please show some respect, Fujin. My mother is the concubine Min conferred by the emperor after all, and she is your elder." A court lady in plain clothes walked out of the crowd, holding two thick stacks of silver foil in her hand, with a haggard and tired face. Full of righteousness, he glared at San Fujin and said, "I'm wronged Fujin to wait for a while, but the dead are the most important. This is the etiquette that children understand."

The one who spoke was Xiao Yu, a court lady who had always been by Concubine Min's side. The Fujin who often entered the palace recognized her more or less, but San Fujin didn't care what she was, how could she allow a lowly servant to talk to her like this, and even stepped forward to reward her with a raised hand? He slapped his face and reprimanded him: "What a lowly thing, you also came to teach me etiquette? Your master is a short-lived ghost, why don't you be loyal and filial and follow along, do you want me to fulfill you?"

Xiao Yu fell to the ground, the silver foil in his hand spread out, and the silver foil was spread all over the floor, Sanfujin was pulled away by his wives, and the maids and eunuchs nearby all came to help pick up the silver foil, but suddenly Xiao Yu jumped up from the ground , casually picked up the wooden plate with the silver foil and threw it at Sanfujin. Everyone panicked and rushed over to pull the maddened Xiao Yu away. Sanfujin's eyes were like copper bells, After waking up, he yelled: "It's terrible, this dog slave dared to hit me."

But all of a sudden, palace maids and eunuchs from other places filed into the two sides of the waiter from the front of the door, and saw the concubine Tong and the concubine De concubine entering the door, the ground was messy, and the old Fujin who was offering incense was inside. They also all came out trembling to see the scene. The nobleman Jue Chan supported a man who couldn't spare his hand. When the noisy people saw Concubine Tong and Concubine De, they all shut up.

"What's going on?" Lan Qi asked the people in the Palace of Yanxi Palace. Yinxiang's valet, Xiao Anzi, was pulling Xiao Yu, and at this moment came up to meet her and knelt at the empress's knees, crying and telling what happened just now, while Lan Qi and Concubine Tong both Seeing Sanfujin being dragged by several sisters-in-law, the hostility on her face was still there, and there was a bit of disgusting domineering and arrogant under the tense expression.

"Sister, forget it, there are quite a few relatives inside." Concubine Tong said softly to Lan Qi, "I'll deal with them, and my sister hastened to get rid of this place, so as not to spread the joke again."

Then I saw Concubine Tong coming to the mourning hall, greeting several old Fujins, and signaled the nobleman Juechan to invite them to rest somewhere else. Standing at the side tidying up her clothes, Lan Qi waved her hand to signal them all to go down, Huan Chun greeted Xiao Yu, took her away, and let Lvzhu Ziyu preside over the affairs here, they just left for a while, It's a mess.

Several people from Wufujin came forward to salute the concubine De, Lan Qi nodded in response, and told them: "It's not easy for the old Fujin, although you are the prince Fujin, you are juniors after all, go and take care of Concubine Tong Let’s leave the palace together with them for a while, but please don’t make any mistakes.”

Wu Fujin and the others responded, but San Fujin had the cheek to go with them. Lan Qi stopped the third family and said coldly, "Go back."

Sanfujin couldn't hold his breath, his sisters-in-law were all watching, and just now he was disrespected by the maid again, thinking that Concubine De was going to make things difficult for him regardless of his status, and couldn't turn his head, so he approached Concubine De angrily and said: "The concubine hasn't been incensed yet, why do you want me, my lady..."

But before Sanfujin could finish talking, she saw Empress Defei raised her hand and slapped her on the face. The force was not too strong, but it was enough for Sanfujin to stagger a few steps. Empress Defei didn't say a word to her, she just ordered her to go with her The eunuch said: "Send San Fujin out of the palace immediately." After saying that, he walked towards the mourning hall, Wu Fujin and the others did not dare to watch the excitement any more, and quickly walked away together.

Although not many people saw this incident, it was really new. After Sanfujin was sent out of the palace, the news that she was slapped by Concubine De spread.

Concubine Rong was serving in front of the Empress Dowager at that time, and when she heard such words, her face turned red so much that she wanted to crawl into the cracks of the ground, and the Empress Dowager sighed, "Lan Qi doesn't get angry easily, what did that one of yours do? Concubine Rong, even The Empress Dowager praises your character, why do you call your daughter-in-law to ruin your reputation for the rest of your life?"

Concubine Rong blindly confessed her mistake to the Queen Mother. After leaving Ningshou Palace, she was so angry that she suffered from headaches again, so she asked Ji Xin to tell her son that Sanfujin was not allowed to enter the palace again, and she would not be summoned in the uterus in the future. Don't come in again in this life.

Who knew that Yinzhi went back and blamed his wife for being reckless, the couple had a few words to discord, and the crazy Sanfujin fought with her husband, looking for life and death with scissors, and finally twisted a section of Yinzhi's braid with a sharp knife.

Originally, fighting was a family matter, and outsiders might not know it. Even if you twisted your braids, you could use fake ones to connect them with fake ones, but Yinzhi was unlucky. The emperor's wrath can be imagined. When the third elder brother walked out of the Qianqing Palace that day, he had already been demoted from Chengjun King to Baylor. At the beginning, the emperor tried his best to give him gold. After all, the throne of the county that was brought up was given too heavily.Concubine Rong was so angry that she couldn't even attend Concubine Min's funeral.

At this moment, the three-day agreement between the emperor and his confidant ministers has already passed, and Da Fujin's body was returned to the elder brother the next day after the death of Concubine Min. There were two funerals in and out of the palace, and the relatives and relatives of the royal family, who were still revolving around the happy event, didn't even know what happened, so they just bit the bullet and dealt with it everywhere.

After this flurry of activity, it was already August, and the fall of this year was particularly bleak. Although only the Yanxi Palace held funerals, the entire Forbidden City was immersed in inexplicable sadness. There was obviously a happy event for Princess Elder Brother. Later, when people thought about it carefully, it might not be the death of Concubine Ming or Da Fujin who was sad, but the terrible murderer who didn't know to hide in that dark corner. Maybe the next person who died of poisoning was himself.

Lan Qi has been dealing with Xing'er's affairs in an orderly manner, and has achieved the greatest dignity in terms of concubine status. Except for the slap of Sanfu Jin that day, her mood is stable and peaceful.Today, I heard that the emperor went to Ningshou Palace to report the poisoning to the Queen Mother. Since Lan Qi was not summoned, she knew that it was inconvenient for her, so she cheered up and went to Jingyang Palace. The elder brother's punishment, if she had been calmer at the beginning, maybe it would not have caused such trouble.

Concubine Rong is also a sensible person. Hearing Lan Qi's apology, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't beat her, there will be rumors about her tearing up with the maid. The Queen Mother will still blame me, and I will let Yinzhi not allow her to enter the house." , She's crazy, she'll still make such a thing, what has it to do with you? She's a lunatic. "
