Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xuan Ye put his hand on Lan Qi's forehead, and gently pushed her back: "Do you still need to seduce her?"

Having said that, the two laughed it off, and Xuan Ye cheered up after only half an hour of sleep, and asked Eunuch Liang to move the affairs of Qianqing Palace to do slowly, and the ministers who had arranged to meet today and the next few days were also rescheduled However, seeing Fuquan Changning's poor health at this age, the emperor finally realized that he had also reached the age to restrain himself.I can no longer worry about national affairs day and night like before. Anyway, no matter how well he does, some officials and people will say that he is not good, but he still wants to get better for a long time. Those who are not in a hurry, but There are still many, many ambitions that I really want to realize.

One afternoon, Lan Qi embroidered handkerchiefs for Xiao Chen'er and Dun Ke cross-legged on the kang. After the two girls came back from watching a scene in Ningshou Palace, they shook the handkerchiefs around all day long. It could be seen that Wen Chen wanted to make his sister happy. The younger sister can accompany her to do whatever she likes. The children are so kind and considerate. How could the mother-in-law not support her? She promised to embroider silk handkerchiefs for them, and they all came to ask several times.

It's a pity that Lan Qi's female celebrity can only deal with it, not as ingenious as Liang Concubine, Liang Concubine has been thinking about these things in her spare time for so many years, she is more diligent than when she was a teenager, Lan Qi is busy It is rare for her to be free, she is more willing to read chess records and story books, and only pokes a few needles occasionally.At this moment, Lan Qi looked at the stiff willow branches in her hand, frowned and hesitated for a moment, but continued to embroider anyway. Xuan Ye sat at the table and saw her like this, couldn't help smiling warmly, and then continued to look at his book , live in peace with each other.

The emperor stayed there for a long time, and at dusk he finally finished dealing with the couple brought by Eunuch Liang. Although there was no end to the flood of paperwork from all over the country, the emperor could only count the booklets without having to walk every inch of the land. How vast is the territory.

At this moment, Lan Qi was serving tea, and when she saw him standing up, she asked, "Fortunately, it's a rest. I should light candles in a while, and my concubine should come to urge you. Turn around and light candles all over the room. It's Yonghe who counts as the Qing Palace." palace?"

Xuan Ye said angrily: "The imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty even counts the candles?"

Lan Qi smiled and waited for him to drink the tea to take it, and said solemnly: "Mounts of gold and silver are earned from the little things."

She turned to leave, Xuan Ye followed, just about to ask her to go for a walk with her to refresh herself, but she listened to Lan Qi's order: "Brothers are coming back, are the snacks ready?"

The maid at the bottom said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, why did you forget again?"

Lan Qi was stunned, her face flushed, day after day, how long would it take for her to change her habits, occasionally Lian Huanchun and the others were worried about whether there was something wrong with her spirit.She didn't know that Xuan Ye was following behind, and went straight to her daughter's room, Xuan Ye was standing under the door looking at her, but Lu Zhu quietly avoided the master and came over, and said softly: "Long Live Lord, it's great that you came today. "

"what happened?"

"Today at 34 [-] my brother originally said he would come for lunch, but the empress asked the servants to prepare a table of dishes, but the princesses were starving and disappeared, so she sent someone to say that they couldn't come." Green Zhu felt distressed all over his face, "Your Majesty always forgets, and when the time comes, I will ask the servants to prepare snacks for my elder brother. Every time this happens, Your Majesty will be sad for a while, but she won't let the servants tell you."

Xuan Ye always knew that Lan Qi was reluctant to let the children move away, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and heard Lu Zhu say: "Today, the empress only takes a nap when she is upset. She doesn't take a big rest on weekdays, for fear that she won't be able to sleep at night."

Xuan Ye frowned and nodded, and called Eunuch Liang over to ask Elder Brother Ten 34 what he was doing today. When he heard that he was riding a horse, he couldn't help muttering angrily: "That's half serious and half fun, and it's fine on weekdays. Why did you agree? Not coming?"

Thinking about Lan Qi's joy when he entered the door, if, as Lu Zhu said, she only took a nap when she was unhappy, then her sudden arrival surprised her, and inadvertently comforted her heart hurt by the children. Only then felt a little comfort.And she had just forgotten that her sons would not go to Yonghe Palace anymore, so she ran to her daughter's room without saying a word in embarrassment, presumably because she was afraid that she would see an unsightly expression on her face, which would make Xuanye feel uncomfortable again. Very distressed.

He turned around and sat waiting, and it took him a long time to see Lan Qi come back, pretending that he thought the emperor still wanted to read the papers, in order to explain why she left suddenly, Xuan Ye obviously heard her talk about lighting candles just now, she knew When I took a break, I didn't even remember what I just said.Xuan Ye was very distressed, took her hand and said, "Let's go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to watch the sunset, you haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Lan Qi looked at him blankly, and said with a smile, "Why do you think of this?"

Xuan Ye didn't say a word, and ordered people to prepare the sedan chair in a loud voice, and then he and Lan Qi swayed around the Qianqing Palace Baohe Hall and got off the sedan chair. Don't they all look like that?"

But Xuanye took her by the hand step by step up to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looked at the time on the sundial, asked her to wait inside, and looked outside for a long time, and soon ran in excitedly and dragged Lan Qi along. On the red wall, the setting sun slanted, and the world soaked in golden sand was everywhere. The base of the white marble was also shining brightly. The backlight of Liang Dong cast long black shadows, making the golden sunset spread on the floor tiles even more dazzling.

Lan Qi walked out step by step, passing by pillars and pillars, golden light and black shadows alternated on her face, and then looked directly at the yellow orange sun that was about to fall in the west, she squinted her eyes for a while, but her hands were warmed He pinched it, turned his head, Xuan Ye was looking at himself tenderly, and said: "I will spend more time with you, when we didn't have children, you were fine, leaving them, you are back to the past, right?"

"How to say... I don't care about these words." Lan Qiyan turned her face away insincerely, and the voice beside her said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to mention it, don't say it."

The soft golden light faded the traces of age on Lan Qi's face, and also erased the vicissitudes of life on Xuan Ye's face. Standing in the sunset, the two of them were covered in golden light, as if they had returned to their original years. It took a long time before she asked Xuan Ye Ye: "When I'm too old to walk, I want to watch the sunset but I can't climb the Hall of Supreme Harmony, what should I do?"

Xuan Ye hummed, his smile melted in the warm sunshine, and he said slowly: "If you are still likable, I will carry you up."

Lan Qi shook his arm: "Then it's settled."

The two left the Hall of Supreme Harmony before the sunset, and when they returned to the Yonghe Palace, it was already dark. Xuan Ye thought that Lan Qi would be happy, but the look in her eyes was always gloomy. To speak is to smile sincerely.

The emperor was going to critique papers at night, and Lan Qi was sitting under the lamp to embroider silk handkerchiefs for the girls. Xuan Ye would look at her from time to time, somehow unable to endure the distress, so he simply put down what he was doing and walked towards her. Lan Qi heard the movement He raised his head and asked, "Are you going to rest, are you really not leaving tonight?"

"I'm not leaving, don't keep driving people away." Xuan Ye impatiently pointed at the embroidery bandage in her hand and laughed, "It's so ugly, girls are willing to use it? I told you earlier, always embroidering will damage your eyes, You don't want to do these things."

"But they..." As soon as Lan Qi was about to explain, Xuan Ye snatched the things from her hand. Seeing that she was being lifted up sideways, she couldn't help but lightly thumped his chest, "Don't make trouble, let me down!" , Be careful you flash your waist."

Xuan Ye hugged her on the bed, and said unwillingly: "You have no flesh, you are so old when I hug you, you are really old."

The person in her arms nestled into the bed at once, Xuan Ye straddled her body on the bed and restrained her, Lan Qi couldn't move, she kept saying: "Stop making trouble, can we still have a good talk?"

But Xuan Ye said: "When you open your mouth, you avoid it. Only in this way can you speak well."

He was condescending, with his hot breath on Lan Qi's face, it's strange to be able to talk high, she couldn't help turning her face away from him, but Xuan Ye asked: "Why are you reluctant to let your sons move away? What a bastard, made you sad again, didn't you?"

Lan Qi's heart trembled, as if she wanted to bury her face in the mattress, but Xuan Ye gently pinched her chin and turned her face away, her starry eyes were deep, reflecting her restless face, but the emperor was extremely patient , and then asked: "Do you want to say it? I am waiting for you."

"It's a lie." The corners of Lan Qi's eyes were moist, and she was actually annoyed, "I just said I didn't want to say it."

Xuan Ye didn't give in at all, and said: "But you, let's not say that if you are unhappy, you have to make it clear. I am here to accompany you to think you are happy. It doesn't matter if you show me your face, but I will feel sorry for you when you are unhappy."

Lan Qi pursed her lips, as if she was afraid that she would cry, but the person on her body bent down gently, coaxing her with less anger: "Tell me, if not, let them move back again."

Lan Qi was stunned for a long time, and then said: "I'm afraid that their minds have not matured yet, but they will be tempted elsewhere, and they will not be able to develop a good character."

Xuan Ye immediately returned to her what she said just now: "It's a lie."

Lan Qi puffed her mouth out angrily, wanted to move but was firmly restrained, and said in a hurry: "I'm not a little girl anymore." But her momentum weakened immediately, and when she turned her face away, tears flowed unconsciously, Xuan Ye warmly wiped it in his hands, his heart ached so much, he finally let go of her and hugged her, Lan Qi curled up in his arms, as if falling apart, the resentment in his heart gradually dissipated, those words came naturally Come out from the bottom of my heart.

"I always think that I won't be old when the children are still young, but they left me suddenly. I always think... I can't wait for you to come every day, I can always wait for my sons to come back." She struggled, "But I'm already a grandmother, and the children can run and call me, so why do you still have such an idea, isn't it ridiculous?"

Xuan Ye lowered his head and kissed her deeply, and his lips touched her lips, almost making Lan Qi breathless. After Xuan Ye let go, she gasped slightly: "I always think of you, isn't it ridiculous?"
