Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

A Ling'a felt depressed, he gave Dongyun a few words casually, and then left in a hurry. He probably wanted to go back to the mansion and make up his mind whether to continue to count on Concubine Wen, or quickly choose another newcomer, but Concubine Wen was right. , The emperor's dragon body is healthy, and it will be the prime of life in [-] or [-] years. No matter what the climate of Concubine Wen is now, there will always be times when she gets old and faded, but the Niu Hulu family will continue to prosper for a long time, so they have to make plans.

Dongyun sent the lord away, turned back to the inner hall, and saw Concubine Wen sitting in the same place in a daze, these days she had nothing else to do, she could often sit in a daze like this for several hours without moving. Trifles, being in a daze is what she regards as the most wasteful thing to spend time in. Other empresses in the palaces, needlewomen, red piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, who would spend a lot of good time in a daze like her? It's been a long time Cranky, how can not lead to hysteria.

She sighed, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's going to be the twelfth lunar month, do you want to invite the theater troupe to have fun?"

"What's the fuss? My sister's funeral has not been over for a year, so forget about others. If I'm still like this, she'll be so heartbroken." Concubine Wen smiled coldly, and reached out to stroke her chest, "Since my sister passed away, today is the most relieved day." , she was full of grievances, and I was full of anger. It can be regarded as clean. It's a pity that he said it politely. I really want to point his nose and scold him. All the good men in the family rely on the shadow of their ancestors and don't think about it. When I went to the corpse for a vegetarian meal, they sent us women to the fire pit to boil. Based on how I pretended to be weak in the past, they still chased the ducks to the shelves and did not let me go. After entering the palace, the appearance is theirs, and the appearance is not good. Yes, come in and don’t ask about An’an, I will first accuse you of doing this and that, this time I made them feel shameless, even if it is given to death, I am willing to have no regrets.”

Dong Yun's heart was pounding when he heard it, and he was bored for a long while, looking at the master's smug smile, Concubine Wen did not pass through the poisoning of Chengqian Palace, so she thought that Ling'a had spread something for her in the palace that no one else knew about. She is still alive, she only knows that her master will be Xiaoyue before the Double Ninth Festival, so when she was brought back from Chengqian Palace and said that she had a miscarriage that day, Dong Yun was completely dumbfounded, and what happened after that has been going on until today, she still has a feeling in her heart. The doubt seems to be solved now, and I couldn't help but ask: "What happened in Chengqian Palace, did you do it on purpose?"

Concubine Wen smiled at her, she didn't see the ghastly hideousness, instead she felt more at ease with An Ran, propped her cheeks and tilted her head, and said, "Isn't it intentional? Those medicines won't kill a person, maybe they will hurt the fetus so they won't have a miscarriage." I don't care why Mrs. Guo is still relying on me after being popular every time. Maybe she thinks this is more aggrieved and pitiful. Anyway, I don't want to harm the emperor's heir, but I just want to make a fuss, and it won't hurt Concubine Tong, because noble people will always stand up and tell the truth, how clean her heart is, she can't just stand by and watch someone be framed."

Dong Yun's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground and was terrified: "But you don't have any intention of harming others. What if someone plots against you again, the queen mother said something serious that day, but you almost..."

"Nearly what? The head fell to the ground?" Concubine Wen smiled frankly, with disdain on her lips, "I don't want to live like a puppet like my sister, or I will die cleanly, or they will let me be at ease I can survive. Since I am married to the emperor, I am a member of the Aixinjueluo family, and the Niu Hulu family should give up their hearts as soon as possible, so that the children and grandchildren will not live up to their expectations and rely on women?"

"But in the days to come, even if the lord doesn't bother you anymore, the emperor may not be able to come to Xianfu Palace again." Dong Yun was full of gloom, always feeling that the matter in Chengqian Palace, the master did too decisively, almost It's just a fight against the line of life and death.

But this sentence aroused Concubine Wen's melancholy, she showed a bitter smile again, and sighed softly: "The trouble almost wiped out all the children, why didn't he punish me? Because I was always from Niu Hulu's family My daughter, in the days to come, he will come to get close to me. The emperor gets close to Concubine Wen of Xianfu Palace. People outside know that Niu Hulu's family is still valued by the emperor. The emperor can use our family to check and balance other families. To my elder brother and to the emperor, I'm probably not even a pawn."

Dong Yun stood up slowly. The Empress Dowager had told her a thing or two about these principles, but the Empress was restrained and rarely showed her thoughts like this. Even to herself, it was only a few times in the past ten years, but Concubine Wen was frank Although she still couldn't figure out this little master's temper, she still didn't know whether she was a weak and careless master or a master with a ruthless wrist, but she always felt that compared to the queen, even if the Xianfu Palace was left out in the cold, Concubine Wen was alive. Live more honestly and live like a human being.

After talking about the car, the air in her heart seemed to be more smooth, and Concubine Wen leaned on the pillow and stared out of the window again, as if she was talking to herself: "What a noble person, the house is clean, she just has The lucky ones..."

Here in the Zhongcui Palace in the east, the dignified people are recuperating every day and their complexion is getting better and better. The most painful thing every day is the old nuns tightening their corsets to death. , What can I do if I raise them again in the future? It's not the worst right now. It will be even tighter when the nobles raise a few more princes and princesses.The little nobleman felt that the pain of childbirth was not as good as the pain of being out of breath for five or six hours a day.

Because of Lan Qi's first birth, the Empress Dowager asked her to sit for 45 days and not go out until the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. When the news came that day, the little nobleman who was counting the days and would be able to see the child as soon as the twelfth lunar month was over was dumbfounded. Blinking her eyes and looking at the maid who sent the message, she was embarrassed by being stared at, so Huan Chun hurriedly stuffed some money and sent it away.When I came back again, I saw that the master was tired, and the person who was still cheerful before the maid came, suddenly curled up in the corner listlessly.

Several people were worried in private, but Luzhu spoke bluntly and couldn't help muttering: "It's one thing not to be able to see the child, and another one, how many days have passed, the emperor has never stood in front of the door once, can the master not think too much about it?" ?”

Yukui and the others were also very strange. It was strange that the emperor cared so much about the nobles. He sent eunuchs and maids to ask every day why the prince was already alive and kicking, so he still didn’t come to have a look. It's just that the other palaces didn't wait next to each other, even if the master didn't think about it, the few of them would.

But Xuan Ye didn't come to see Lan Qi here, and he had been to the Palace of Compassion and Ning several times, because Madam Su Mala had reminded her about the late emperor, even though she liked this son with all her heart, she didn't show it too much in front of her grandmother. This time the crown prince had acne and Xuanye did it himself, and the empress dowager was very satisfied with her grandson's performance.

Speaking of the matter of the noble man confinement, the empress dowager asked the emperor why he did not go to the Zhongcui Palace to meet, Xuan Ye smiled and said: "The 21st of the twelfth lunar month is the day of sealing, these days I plan to go to the harem more, but After the seal is sealed and she is confinement, I will take Lan Qi to live in the garden for a few days, the weather is cold and the roads are difficult to walk, don't mind grandma, this time my grandson will not serve you."

The Empress Dowager gave him a slight look, and smiled at Aunt Su Mala: "I'm starting to think I'm troublesome, so we might as well go back to our hometown in Shengjing as soon as possible."

Xuan Ye was in a hurry, and coaxed his grandmother with a smile: "If she hears what you said, she will never go with her grandson even if she dies."

The Empress Dowager just sighed: "It's hard for you to coax a few people in the harem these days, leave the concubines alone, and just take a little nobleman to visit the garden. They must have gossips, but since you are not afraid of me, you are not afraid of me." Don't worry, go and have fun for a few days first, and let's talk about the matter when you come back, anyway, she gave birth to a little elder brother, so she should pamper her more."

Xuan Ye laughed: "It's hard to say when I come back. In the rush for New Year's Eve, Yuan Rizhen is going to the Meridian Gate to declare victory. On that day, I invited the emperor's grandmother to wear a court dress, and went with her grandson to see the country and people of the Qing Dynasty."

Aunt Su Mala laughed quickly: "Look, master, the most important thing is not to forget to bring grandma with you, our emperor is the most filial."

While talking, the little elder brother in the cradle was babbling, it seemed to be in line with Mammy's words, Xuan Ye went to pick him up, the little guy happily smiled at his father, he was still a baby, but he was very cute If you lose your temper and vent your anger, you will come to the nurses and maids, but when the empress dowager or Madam Su Mala hugs her, she will always laugh, but it is also silly to be hugged by Xuan Ye now.

"This child is easy to raise." The Empress Dowager said with emotion, "You insist on making me do something, get this little thing to raise, and you have that one in your heart, maybe why can't you bear it? If you love her well, you will give birth to a boy and a half Daughter, I was appointed as a concubine early and let her take care of herself."

Xuan Ye blushed slightly, and only hugged his son to coax the grandmother's words, but at this moment, a maid came in in front of the door, saying that Concubine Tong Gui asked to see her, the emperor and the empress dowager looked at each other, thinking that she had been doing well recently, and the last time After being wronged like that, she was still allowed to come in.

Concubine Tong Guifei didn't mean to come to join in the fun, but Tong Guowei sent things into the palace, and she immediately wanted to come to pay respects to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and when she arrived at the gate, she saw the emperor's Luanjia, and she was even happier, and now she came in happily As the New Year approached, it was very festive to be dressed in red. The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up when she saw the sincere smile on her face, and she felt less grudges in her heart.

Concubine Tong chatted about the family affairs, and presented the things that Tong Guowei had filially brought to the Empress Dowager. At that time, Xuan Ye had already put down the little elder brother, and sat together to listen to her talk. She explained the matter and said that she would go Ningshou Palace presented a gift to the Empress Dowager, and when she turned to leave, the baby in the cradle cried loudly.

All the maids and maids gathered around, and after coaxing her for a long time, they couldn't get better. Xuan Ye said to let her be carried, and raised her eyes inadvertently, seeing Concubine Tong's eyes full of expectation and joy, she felt sorry for her losing her second child, and said casually: " Let the imperial concubine give you a hug."

Concubine Tong was startled, she held her hands together, but she said she didn't know what to do, she just waited for the nurse to put the little elder brother into her arms, and the soft little man was warmly in her arms, still crying with her eyes closed Concubine Tong coaxed him like a woman coaxing a child at home, shaking her body slightly, and calling him softly, the little guy gradually stopped crying, and she listened to the Empress Dowager: "Put him back in the cradle, don't you?" Do you want to go to Ningshou Palace?"

Concubine Tong Gui nodded, not daring to miss anything, came with the maid nurse, carefully put the baby back in the cradle, took the quilt in her hand to cover him, when suddenly a familiar cloth tiger rolled out of the corner, she was surprised, Seeing the Empress Dowager and the Emperor talking outside, she asked the wet nurse softly, "Is this cloth tiger from Zhongcui Palace?"

The wet nurse replied: "The virtuous man asked me to bring it, and said that this cloth tiger is auspicious, and it has been guarding my little elder brother."

Concubine Tong's heart was hot, but she felt uneasy for no reason, she blinked her eyes as if to tell herself not to worry, she turned around and went outside, saluted the empress dowager and the emperor, took Qinglian and went to Ningshou Palace.She didn't sit on the couch along the way anymore, she was in a good mood with a spring breeze on her face, the people around her were used to her moodiness, but she was so happy for no reason, could it be just because she hugged the little elder brother?

But after walking not far, she heard scolding voices, Concubine Tong stopped to look, and saw a noble lady angrily scolding the gorgeously dressed woman in front of her, Qing Lian said beside her: "It's Prince Gong Fujin and the side Fujin."

There was a lot of scolding over there, and she didn't even realize that Concubine Tong Gui was here. She walked a few steps closer and heard Prince Gong Fujin say angrily: "Are you going to die again? It's the Lord who has a soft heart and wants you to show your face. Let me tell you again, Chunxi is now the emperor's eldest princess, and has nothing to do with you. Now, you are always like this, can the concubine Duan be proud of her face? Is it for you, or is it not for you? Just let me save my worries, a few women in Prince Yu's mansion are in the Palace of Compassion But those who have kneeled on the floor tiles, do you want to kneel too?"

Someone at the side saw Concubine Tong coming, and hurriedly reminded his family Fujin. Prince Gong, Fujin turned pale with shock, and led his family members to bow their knees to salute. Concubine Tong smiled and said, "My sister-in-law, what kind of etiquette do you have?"

Prince Gong Fujin was extremely embarrassed, guessing that Concubine Tong must have heard the words just now, so she simply didn't hide it, saying that Fujin missed the eldest princess and wanted to go to Zhongcui Palace to see the children, but they belonged to the prince of the family He was ordered to come to the palace to ask An to deliver things, but he just wanted to go back quickly after finishing his errands.

Concubine Tong is the most disinclined to pay attention to these parents' short stories, but when she heard about the child, her heart became frizzy, and she sneered: "Siblings are right, and Fujin is too ignorant of the rules, Chunxi is now the emperor's eldest daughter, and What else do you have to do with it, not to mention Concubine Duan can't hold her face, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will probably not be happy about it, they brought her here because they like their daughters, it seems like you've been greatly wronged."

The women hurriedly made amends, Prince Gong Fujin kept saying that there would be no more such incidents, Concubine Tong Guifei didn't have the heart to teach them a lesson, so she hurriedly went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay her respects, and told them to go first, Prince Gong Fujin hurriedly dragged side Fujin away.

Concubine Tong Guifei saw that there were tears in Ce Fujin's eyes, and she felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't know where it was poked in her heart. Recalling that back then, when she let Wu Yashi stand here barefoot, not only did she suffer from a serious illness, but also somewhat killed the child in the womb of Concubine Duan.

Concubine Tong's whole body tensed up, somehow, the little brother's quiet smile and the cloth tiger in the cradle ran to her eyes, she shook her head vigorously, but she couldn't shake it away.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

"No..." Concubine Tong's heart was pounding, panting heavily while holding her heart, "It's okay..."
