Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"It deserves it." Xuan Ye echoed, Lan Qi's heart trembled, she didn't dare to look at him, and then she heard the Empress Dowager ask, "Does it still hurt?"

Lan Qi shook her head, and hurriedly asked first: "Where's your waist, let me have a look, and I will rub it for you, it's not good to be crooked like this."

"You don't even come to see me." The Empress Dowager complained to the two children like a baby, "Now my Compassionate Palace is really pitiful, the emperor is busy all day, so busy that he can send Director Li to come to see me. What about you? Are you busy with something? Are you hiding in the house studying and preparing for the No. [-] exam? Or did I offend you and make you not want to see me anymore? Isn’t that right, what is there to see about an old woman? me."

Lan Qi could hear that the old man was acting coquettishly and joking. After living with her for a long time, she also found out the empress dowager's temper, and knew that she loved her from the bottom of her heart. Although these few words sounded distressing, they were still warm.Unexpectedly, the emperor next to him took it seriously for no reason, and hurriedly knelt by the side of the couch and said, "Grandson is not good, please don't be angry, grandma. From tomorrow onwards, grandson will come to greet you every day."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and sighed at Aunt Su Mala: "Is my grandson so busy?"

The nanny hurriedly came to help the emperor to get up, and persuaded with a smile: "Master and the emperor are joking. If you take it seriously, the master will not go down the stairs. It has been a long time since I have not seen the emperor and Wu Chang is here. The empress dowager is acting like a baby. You can coax me." Just coax it."

But Xuan Ye didn't know what was wrong, and she couldn't change her mind when she heard Mammy say this, and said angrily: "I am busy, but some people don't know what they are busy with, and they don't know how to improve all day long, so she shouldn't worry about it." Worrying, causing trouble for no reason, and it's too late to clean up after her, it's better not to see such a person, so as to save the emperor's grandmother from worrying."

Lan Qi could still bear these words, not wanting the Empress Dowager to be wronged by her, she said coldly: "Since the Emperor is too busy to come and see me, he can just send Manager Li, and he can still say something warm and courteous." Coax me with pleasant words, but you are here, and you are not pleasing to the eyes, are you showing your grandmother's face?"

Xuan Ye knelt down in response, and said: "Grandson dare not, grandma calm down."

Lan Qi kept kneeling on the side of the couch without looking at him. At this moment, her head drooped even deeper, almost buried in her chest, when she heard an angry voice from the Empress Dowager on the couch: "Everyone go, if you stay here again, I will be less Lived for several years."

The nanny also came to persuade her, but for a moment she couldn't tell if the master was really angry or pretended to be angry, and persuaded the emperor and Lan Qi to leave, Xuan Ye kowtowed and left easily, Lan Qi was reluctant to part, but the nanny kept persuading her, but she couldn't help it. followed.But Mammy just turned around, and saw the Empress Dowager sitting up from the couch, pointing at her and saying: "Follow me and have a look."

On one side the emperor went out, on the other side Luanjia didn't have time to press the sedan chair, Xuanye usually didn't care about these things, but today he got angry for some reason and lost his temper at those slaves. He didn't dare to move, but Xuanye saw her as soon as he turned around. Although Huanchun was also afraid, he still pulled his master out of the door to salute the emperor.

"Get up." Seeing Lan Qi kneeling on the ground, Xuan Ye felt uncomfortable, but he yelled and stood up, looked at the face carefully, saw the faint scars that still existed, suddenly became annoyed, and blurted out the words after holding back for several days Come out and ask her, "Why do you do those things for them?"

Manager Li and Huanchun hurriedly dispersed, while Lan Qi pursed her lips and lowered her head to answer: "The concubine didn't help anyone, the emperor misunderstood."

"Still talking back?" Xuan Ye frowned deeply, loving and hating at the same time, "The third elder brother obviously died of illness, why did you help them perform that play? I asked you to learn how to cook the harem from them, but I didn't let you You form a party with them to deal with someone."

Lan Qi looked up at him: "Chen Qie didn't help anyone, Chen Qie just... said what she saw."

"You!" Xuan Ye was very annoyed, and approached her in front of her eyes, "Could it be that you were so smart but couldn't see the clues about what happened that day? Didn't they come to mention you in advance, the phrase 'say what you see' Who taught you, did you come up with the answer yourself, or did you teach it in those books?"

Lan Qi's eyes are bright, she also has her grievances, she doesn't expect Xuan Ye to take the trouble to understand, but she also doesn't want to be underestimated by him, since she was teased in front of the empress dowager just now, now she is asking straightforwardly Once again, she felt that being scolded by Concubine Tong as a bitch and being slapped by Concubine Tong was not as painful as the pain he felt in her heart with his eyes.

"The last thing I want to see is you entangled in the harem. I try my best not to let Concubine Tong hate you to the point where I can't restrain it. You're better off, and rush to provoke her. Does this slap hurt?" Xuan Ye stretched out his hand and pinched her. Touching Lan Qi's cheek, her heart was obviously very distressed, but her mouth was still full of angry words, "You really deserve to be beaten, you have failed my hard work, and you have also belittled your dignity, this slap is not a light one."

"Your Majesty..." Lan Qi's eyes did not fall from the sparkle, her dark eyes were full of disbelief and unwillingness, and she didn't know if it was due to the fact that she was in front of the gate of the Palace of Compassion , I suddenly said what was in my heart, "Why is the emperor angry? Is it really because of the concubine? Does the emperor not understand that the concubine is always in the Zhongcui Palace and is one of the six concubines? The emperor thought, How should we live in the harem?"

In a word, both parties were silent, and after a stalemate for a long time, Lan Qi's chin was pinched with a red mark by Xuan Ye, the emperor finally let go, but he didn't say a word, only passing his disappointed and heartbroken eyes across her face, Luanjia had already firmly pressed the sedan chair, and he sat in without turning his head. Eunuch Li was stunned, and shouted embarrassingly to start driving, and looked at Lan Qi in puzzlement, and then left with him.

Xiao Chang was trembling all over, gasping for breath, Huan Chun rushed over to help her, couldn't help but said: "Master, how did you say those words? You admit your mistake, why did you make the emperor so angry? Why bother?" Woolen cloth?"

Lan Qi's heart was beating wildly, as if she just woke up at this moment, she was cursed by something, she was possessed by something, and if she said those words now, she might not be able to say them.

While panting, she suddenly remembered that on the way to elder brother's office that day, the empress dowager told her that the words "respect each other as guests" were not good. She didn't understand at the time, but now she understands.

"I can admit my mistakes and give in, but even if he hates me from now on, I don't want to be a hypocritical woman in front of him. I can tell jokes and act coquettishly to please him, but when it comes to right and wrong, I have to be worthy of my own conscience." Lan Qi The crystal in his eyes fell at this moment, and he choked up and said, "I also know that I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that that day, but Huigui had already pushed me out at that time, if I didn't say it, even they should be jealous I, I also want to live for myself, I can't expect him to protect me all the time."

Huan Chun sighed, "Why didn't you tell the Emperor?"

"Then he has to listen..." Xiao Changzai was so wronged, he suddenly started sobbing, but he knew that this place was the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and if he was crying in front of the Empress Dowager's door, it would be really desperate. Quickly wiped away tears, pulled Huanchun and left in a hurry.When she was a court lady, everyone said that she had a good temper and could bear it. Maybe patience is also a kind of stubbornness, but today she can't bear it, it's even more so.

These words were sent to the Empress Dowager by the mother without missing a word. The old man didn't flinch at all, and chanted scriptures in front of the Buddha. After listening for a long time, he got up leisurely and supported Lama Su Mammy smiled: "In the past, people who couldn't separate things from each other, how could a few words still make a difference? I'm even more afraid that they only know how to like each other, and if they see each other for a long time, they will forget the original appearance of each other. Lan Qi This little girl is really a child that God gave me to entrust my grandchildren in the future. It is better to have a humble background, so that you know how to be modest and careless. By Xuan Ye's side. It's hard to find a beautiful and pleasing woman in this world, but how many real children like this can be born in the harem?"

Aunt Su Mala sighed: "You were not at ease before, because you were afraid that Wu Changzai was just pretending."

The Empress Dowager thought of such a thing, and said happily: "Then you have to test and test. Now you can't rest assured. You have been watching from both sides these few days. Don't let people with high eyes and low hands think that she has fallen out of favor and bullied her. As for the emperor, if there are goblins who flatter you, watch them carefully, I won't allow anyone to stir up trouble in one day."

Mammy smiled wryly: "The master is so relieved, the servants will be very distressed. If both sides are twisted, the temper is not small, and our Long Live Lord's temper will be even worse."

Aunt Su Mala is still worried that Xuanye has a bad temper, but she doesn't know that Xiao Changzai is not short-tempered. She rushed back to Zhongcui Palace angrily. God knows what she was wronged. When she entered the door, she saw those books that Xuan Ye sent in the past. Books, as well as the paper, ink, pens and inkstones spread on the table, turned around and pointed to Huanchun and said: "Clean up everything, I will go to sit with my sister, and I will not see it when I come back later, and I will never read or write again. , if you like it, keep it, and if you don’t like it, throw it away.”

Huan Chun was stunned in front of the door, watching the little master rushing out angrily. Over there, Bu Changzai wanted to ask the Empress Dowager how her waist was, but when she saw Lan Qi running over with frowning eyebrows, she couldn't help but pull her. She went into the room, and Pan Xia was dumbfounded, and hurried over to ask what happened to Huan Chun. The palace maid panted with her hips on her hips, and asked in disbelief: "This little ancestor... all these years in the palace, have you ever seen someone who dared to quarrel with the emperor?" ?"

Here, Bu Chang was listening to Lan Qi angrily, and was so frightened that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, and pushed her to blame: "You are crazy, how dare you talk back to the emperor?"

In fact, she didn't know whether the third elder brother died of illness or poisoning. Although there were some rumors in the palace that the door was closed that day, Concubine Zhaogui knew that her superiors didn't like to hear it, so she suppressed it ruthlessly. Lan Qi didn't say anything here, so she naturally didn't know, and now she only knows that Lan Qi talked back to the emperor, and didn't care about anything specific, so she ran to tell Huanchun after leaving her behind: "Put away the things, throw them away." Losing it is a serious crime, not to mention what she wants to do another day."

Unexpectedly, Lan Qi still followed her, and said seriously: "Take it all away, I won't want any more."
