Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Congratulations to the Emperor..." Eunuch Li couldn't help kneeling, but he retracted in embarrassment in the middle of the sentence. Can he be happy in this situation?

Xuan Ye didn't take it seriously, and accepted the letter from his grandmother by himself, and said slowly: "You should congratulate me well, for the funeral of the Empress Daxing, I fulfilled all her wishes in front of her, and now I have given Niu Hulu's The face of the family, the empress of Daxing has no regrets, and I will do my best to her family. On my shoulders, I still have the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's grandmother, and..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, Eunuch Li bowed his knees knowingly and congratulated the emperor for having a new heir. Xuan Ye didn't continue to say those words, and said happily: "The emperor's grandmother said that the noble man knew that he was pregnant early in the morning. I also thought about it in those few days, and later saw that she didn't mention it after a lot of things, so I thought there was no good news, and I left her to serve the sick in the middle palace. Now that I think about it, I am really afraid. The empress can't live in peace. Come and grind it for me, I want to write a letter to tell the emperor's grandmother, and reprimand this little nobleman."

Eunuch Li hurried over to help, and after the letter was written, the emperor said that he wanted his grandmother to reprimand Lan Qi, but in fact he wrote another letter to her, expressing his gratitude and joy, but the deep affection in it is not enough for outsiders.

In the deep palace, the emperor's letter was received early the next morning. The empress dowager and the mother were very happy to see Lan Qi sitting under the window with the letter and smiling foolishly, but the empress dowager had to make up for it every day. Lan Qi couldn't smell the medicine, so the old man told her not to come to the Compassion Ning Palace again, and it wouldn't be too late to come back after these uncomfortable days passed and she had enough energy.

Since then, the virtuous man lived in Zhongcui Palace, and the Empress Dowager issued an order that no one should disturb the virtuous man's recuperation, nor could he summon them at will, and they could only meet each other with the permission of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Everyone in the village knows that she has made great achievements in serving the Empress Daxing, and she hasn't made any mistakes recently, but the imperial physician is very diligent, so there are rumors that the noble man is pregnant with the emperor's heir, although the superiors don't say it, the subordinates have already touched it. It is known to all the six palaces.

One day, Mrs. Bu came to see Duanjing at Niang Niang's place. Concubines Rong, Concubine Hui and others were all there, and everyone asked her if Mrs. Degui had any good news. Mrs. Bu just smiled: "I don't know, I'm lazy all day long." I'm lazy, maybe I'm happy, but the imperial doctor didn't say anything when he came, the concubine really doesn't know."

An Gui was also there, and sneered: "It's really hard to hide it, even you, how expensive is it? Which lady here has never given birth, what was your situation back then, what is she doing now that she is so maverick, But a gentleman."

Lady Bu didn't speak, and now she is on an equal footing with Lady An, and there is a princess under her lap. Although the emperor asked Duan Jing to be raised by a concubine, Duan Jing didn't change her words. Now her daughter only calls her mother-in-law, why should she She still needs to be inferior to Mrs. An. Seeing her say such harsh words at this moment, Lan Qi told her earlier that ignoring her is the best policy to deal with Mrs. An.

Sure enough, Mrs. An saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she muttered a few more words in resentment, and seeing that sitting was boring, she said goodbye and left. As soon as she left, Concubine Hui said to Mrs. Bu nicely: "Her mouth is broken, don't pay attention to it. No matter whether there is any good news or not, you should take good care of Degui, I think she took care of you once in the past, now you can only feel at ease with her."

Bugui nodded again and again: "The events of that year are vivid in my mind, Duanjing was able to give birth safely, thanks to the care of the nobleman, the nanny who followed the concubine at that time was very bad-tempered, and she was vicious, always looking forward to the concubine giving birth. What about her, if she doesn't succeed, she will show her face domineeringly, at that time, the concubine was young and timid, if Lan Qi was not by her side, she would only be bullied."

Concubine Rong sighed, and slowly changed the subject: "Bu Guiren was very moved when he mentioned this, and we understand it better after seeing a few court ladies. There are thousands of eunuchs and court ladies in such a huge imperial city. On the first floor, there are a lot of evil slaves. Now that Empress Daxing is gone, Concubine Tong is ignorant, and Concubine Wen is weak, and she falls on our shoulders. If there is no way to suppress it, the palace will be in chaos .”

Everyone was silent for a while, but what Concubine Rong said actually had another meaning. Now that Empress Niu Hulu is gone, not long after Empress Hesheli passed away, the Phoenix Seal was temporarily in the hands of Concubine Zhao at that time until she became empress. I have passed others, but now Empress Niu Hulu has been away for a month, and the emperor and the empress dowager have not yet decided who will be in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Unreliable, only pending.

But no matter how incompetent Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen are, it is impossible to surpass them and let Concubine Rong or Concubine Hui take charge, but Concubine Gui and Concubine Wen, although there is a difference in status, as long as the Empress Dowager and the Emperor don't mind, These two can choose one of them, but for the concubines, concubines, nobles, and Chang Zai, Concubine Tong Gui is so powerful and intimidating, if she gains power from now on, everyone may have a bad life.

After a long time, Concubine Duan smiled and sighed: "That day Concubine Tong invited Liugong to watch a play, Concubine Zhao angrily scolded the Ministry of Internal Affairs for not being frugal, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to go. You should remember the most clearly, Mrs. Tong, didn't Concubine Tong lead you?" Did He Degui go to Yikun Palace to invite Concubine Zhao? In the end, everyone obediently went to Chengqian Palace. That posture was never seen by Empress Hesheli before. Think about it, if the Empress Dowager or the emperor ordered Concubine Wen Li Liugong, she is the younger sister of Empress Niu Hulu, she has learned a lot and listened a lot, it does make sense, but if..."

Concubine Duan paused, glanced over the crowd, and said with a smile: "But if the imperial concubine refuses to accept it, and there will be troubles every now and then, we people will not have good fruit to eat."

Concubine Rong nodded: "That's the reason. If Concubine Wen is handpicked to take over the phoenix seal, the concubine will definitely not accept it. Even if she is promoted to the position of Concubine Wen, the concubine or the imperial concubine will not be able to suppress her temper." .”

Everyone was discussing for a while, not knowing what the future of the harem would be like, but after they all dispersed, Bu Guiren led the princes and princesses to play in the yard, Rong Concubine, Hui Concubine and Duan Concubine said in private: "The emperor is the most I hate the concubine's arrogance and domineering, why is she so tolerant towards Concubine Tong? It is said that she is a cousin, but this is not enough to indulge her. Back then, it was just to suppress Niu Hulu. We don't know now that the emperor suppressed Niu Hulu. Empress, still suppress the entire Niu Hulu clan, if it is the former, the current Concubine Wen will not be successful, and the emperor will not allow Concubine Tong to be domineering, but if it is the latter...the days will be endless."

Concubine Duan then asked Concubine Hui: "In the Mingzhu Mansion, what might you have heard? You know our natal family, so you can't count on it."

Concubine Hui said awkwardly, "Mingzhu's mansion is not my natal family either." Then she said disdainfully, "I just came here to mention a few words, but Mingzhu is the most careful person, do you think he will have any radical measures?"

The three of them chattered, the nobleman outside was playing with Princess Elder Brother, and occasionally passed by the window to hear a few words, imagining the turmoil in the palace, they couldn't help sighing.After I left with Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui, I went back and passed by Chengqian Palace, I saw a maid kneeling on a brick at the gate of the palace, I don't know what I did wrong, but in Chengqian Palace, it is common for noble concubines to beat and scold court ladies and eunuchs, Trembling, she walked back to Zhongcui Palace, Lan Qi just woke up from her afternoon nap.

She knew that Lan Qi was pregnant, but she was just perfunctory to others. Now she changed her clothes and washed her hands, and saw Lan Qi was reading a book on the couch. The light in the room was not bright, so she poked her head to find the light source. The appearance is very cute, and the nobleman can't help laughing: "Your eyes are bad, if the Lord Long Live comes in and sees this appearance, he will definitely punish you."

Seeing her sister coming, Lan Qi dragged her to sit on the bed, scolded her for treating her as a patient, and she was not allowed to touch this or that, and she didn't know where she heard the rule, she was not even allowed to touch the needle, thread and scissors Well, I wanted to do some sewing to pass the time, but I can't now.

"Why don't you write? Writing is the most serene." Bu Guiren took her book away, and Lan Qi rubbed her stomach and said, "I can't smell the ink. The book is fine, but I feel sick when the ink is rubbed off when I write. Sister, you Does this child not like to read in the future? This is too bad, it’s okay to be a princess, but if it’s a little elder brother, his Emma will definitely not like it.”

The nobleman laughed: "The emperor likes you, will he not like the child you gave birth to?"

At this moment, Huan Chun came in with two bowls of bird's nest. Bu Guiren and Lan Qi sat on the kang and shared the food. Seeing her gobbling down a bowl of bird's nest, looking eagerly at the bird's nest in front of her, Huan Chun laughed, "Master, you are too welcome." Now, you still have to eat the servants to get it for you, why do you always grab the cloth nobleman's food."

But Mrs. Bu has already handed her hers, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just that the stolen food is delicious? I ate a lot of dim sum at Duan Concubine's place, but I couldn't eat any more, so there's no need to get it."

Lan Qi was only greedy, her eyes were big and her appetite was small, and after taking a few more mouthfuls of Bu Guiren's bowl, she slumped. She pushed it away and didn't want to eat, so she lazily lay on the window looking at the scene outside, and asked Bu Guiren: "Sister, do you want to eat from outside?" Come back, have all the things in the palace been withdrawn?"

Bu Guiren said that they had basically withdrawn, and told her what Cai Duan concubine had heard just now, and sighed: "I came from the front, but I don't know why Concubine Tong Guifei lost her temper, and punished a little maid to kneel in front of the door, and went back If she is in power, our days..."

"There are still the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor in the palace, sister, don't worry too much." Lan Qi pulled her and persuaded, "Concubine Rong and the others are worried because they are also in charge of the affairs of the palace. Concubine Tong Guifei is not difficult to deal with what idlers are afraid of. Didn't my sister say that she just put everything on her face to deal with it? Let's just live in peace."

Having said that, Lan Qi thought about the matter that Concubine Tong made Concubine Wen kneel down on the road that day. She really put everything on her face, and she was afraid that if she wanted to fight with Concubine Wen in the future, she would fight with open arms Come on, the emperor must have his reasons for indulging her, he is content with the square inch palace, just don't provoke her.

At this time, she heard the hurried footsteps outside, Xiangyue slipped out to play somewhere, and ran back cheerfully, saying: "Master, Master, the emperor has returned to Luan. I heard that he has entered the gate of Qianqing and is going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects. I'm afraid it's time for us to come here."

Huan Chun twisted her ears, pinched her arms and scolded: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where did you go?"

Mrs. Bugui smiled and persuaded him to make peace, and said: "The emperor appointed to come here, I will go back first, if the emperor returns to Qianqing Palace at night, I will come to see you again."

"Sister..." Lan Qi took her hand, and Mrs. Bugui knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "It's been almost five years since I entered the palace, and I didn't care about it in the first few years, but now I care about it? If you are more careful, We don't get along well either."

Just then, a little eunuch from the Qianqing Palace came outside to report that the emperor would come over immediately and let the nobleman prepare to pick him up, the nobleman really ran away, and after waiting for a while, the emperor really came in a hurry, Lan Qi stood there He bowed his knees in front of the door to greet her, and was picked up by Xuan Ye, who just looked at her happily and didn't say anything.
