Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"There are guests coming during the New Year's Eve, so I have to be considerate. The concubine is going to see her, and the empress is at ease. I won't let her bother you." Lan Qi was relieved knowing that Concubine Duan couldn't get over today's affairs in a few days. After saying a few words to her, they came out with Huanchun, and saw Juechan standing at the door with the maid, so Huanchun asked her to come in and sit down.

Sitting in the East Side Hall, seeing her salute, Lan Qi said politely: "Miss Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren are exhausted, so I won't see you."

Jue Chan agreed and nodded and said: "The concubine is here to see you. The concubine Duan and the nobleman can also go to pay their respects in the future, but they are gone today."

"What's the matter?" Lan Qi didn't have the energy to greet more politely, thinking that Jue Chan is usually a person who is bored in the house and does not leave the door. Unless she has to socialize, she is hardly seen in the palace. I was in the way of those things, and I have always been cold to her, and I seldom talk when we meet. It doesn't seem like she will come to congratulate the festival specially.

But when Lan Qi asked this question, Jue Chan agreed but was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, she told the maid to go down first. As soon as her maid left, Huanchun and the others looked awkward standing beside her. Seeing that the master did not object, they also left together. up.

The door of the palace was closed leisurely, Lan Qi turned her gaze back to Jue Chan, and asked directly: "Is there anything important related to me?"

"I don't know whether I should say these words or not. Although I feel that one more thing is better than one less thing, but I also think that no matter how you do it, it's good to be on guard in your heart." Jue Chan's face was calm, and he said slowly, "Your Majesty The concubine thought that the person who was rumored to have a private meeting with Prince Gong today should be Nala. The servant saw her maid gossiping with others. Although there was a commotion here later, nothing major happened afterwards, so the concubine said Seeing that Nala is always fidgeting, I think it is right. Nala often complained to his concubine that you were arguing with her in a soft sedan chair on the day of Laba. At that time, she had a stomachache and was sent back by the imperial concubine. , but she said that your sedan chair not only blocked her way, but the little eunuch beside her also scolded her for hurrying to reincarnate. The concubine thought, if Nala Changzai has accumulated grievances, it is not wrong to say these things today."

Every word brought back the memories of Lan Qi's Laba day. Xuan Ye sent someone to pick her up to see the scenery at the Meridian Gate Tower. On the way, she did hear the little eunuch cursing. At that time, she only said that she was a palace maid and eunuch. She was sitting in the warm sedan. Looking outside, how could they think it was Nala, and no matter how those little eunuchs bowed down, now that Nala is pregnant, they dare not be disrespectful, maybe they don't know that it is Nala who often sits in the sedan chair.

It’s not for someone’s excuse right now, and Nalashi’s rumors are put aside for now, Lan Qi is thinking about what the little eunuch said that day, she also heard the phrase “rushing to reincarnation”, Nalashi didn’t add embellishments, She was already sensitive and delicate when she was pregnant with a child, so how could she stand such a bad word, not to mention that elder brother Wan Yu has always been bad.

"A noble man?" Jue Chan promised to see Lan Qi in a daze, and softly said.

Lan Qi regained her composure, raised her eyes and saw Jue Chan's face, she hadn't paid attention to it for a few days, but now she looked carefully, she suddenly felt strange.The person who was looking for death and life in the past looks haggard, although he is still slender, but he is charming and charming, his eyes are like a pool of autumn water, his red lips are greasy, his nose is like cream, people say that he is naturally beautiful, and it should be so.

I often heard Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren muttering that Concubine Hui had ulterior motives in agreeing to Jue Chan. Lan Qi sighed in her heart. It is not surprising that the emperor took a fancy to such a beauty. Longing to monopolize Xuan Ye, but with such thoughts, the harem can't stay any longer, but seeing Jue Chan's beauty at this moment, I feel sour and jealous that I don't want Xuan Ye to like her, and at the same time, I think about those things in the past. I don't know what this woman is thinking.

But in just a few words, she had so many thoughts in her mind, and when she calmed down, she realized that the current self was different from the previous one.Above love, there is no tolerance and generosity at all. Mammy once said that once a person is moved, he can no longer help himself, and she has finally begun to be unable to tolerate others involuntarily.

"Are you okay?" Jue Chan continued to be in a daze after seeing the virtuous man glanced at him, and then asked aloud, only to see the virtuous man finally seemed to be relieved, and replied, "It's all right."

Jue Chan felt a little at a loss, not knowing whether he had offended others by saying these words, so he weighed it in his heart a few times, and then asked: "Is the concubine talking too much?"

"No, thank you for telling me." Lan Qi smiled politely, "It's just that I don't understand why you came here to tell me. Counting the people in this palace, I haven't said harsh words to anyone. If you don't, I've blushed at you, but you still have such kindness."

Jue Chan pursed her lips, and said after a long while: "But you are the only one who said those words, you really want your concubines to live well, and the others are just for themselves."

"Who is not for himself? You don't have to think highly of me. You must have remembered those words that day. I still have those few words, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding between you and me." Lan Qi said calmly, still talking with Jue Chan Shi kept a distance and was unwilling to get along, "You live well, everyone will be at peace."

Jue Chan's eyes were a little disappointed, but he heard the noble man say: "I will remember today's kindness in my heart, thank you, except for that irrelevant matter, is there anything I can do to help you in the future, Zhong Cui Palace Gate It’s always on. On weekdays, you don’t need to come and go, you live in Yikun Palace, so you have to worry about some empresses.”

"Thank you for your reminder, I will keep this in mind." Jue Chan seemed a little happy at this point, got up and said, "If there is nothing else, the concubine will leave first. Since the nobleman Guo will not be present at the dinner today, the concubine wants to leave." Taking care of the nobleman in Yikun Palace, I won't greet you at night."

Lan Qi nodded and said nothing, in fact she was just a noble person, and felt that Chan was too humble and polite.And when she left, she had a beautiful and graceful back, and the woman who was not yet ready to give birth had such a figure, thinking that when she came to Xuan Ye's side, she was just a dry and thin little girl.

My heart was sour, and suddenly I was excited, thinking that I was just a skinny little girl at that time, and Xuan Ye could like it. It can be seen that beauty is nothing in his eyes. If you want to like someone for a long time, you can't just be in one place face.

The little nobleman became proud for no reason. When Huanchun came in, he saw the master's face full of joy, and thought that Jue Chan promised to say something good, Lan Qi just smiled and said: "I think of the emperor, and I feel happy, can't I be happy?"

Concubine Duan refused to go to the banquet at night, but Concubine Rong sent Ji Xin to persuade her to attend the banquet, firstly to give face to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and secondly, don't make Prince Gong Fujin too proud.Lan Qi and Mrs. Bu Gui persuaded her a few more words, and Concubine Duan finally agreed, leaving a suitable person to serve the princess, and they will go to Qianqing Palace with them.

The Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, and seeing other concubines and female relatives, by comparison, Concubine Duan felt that Lan Qi was dressed very brightly tonight, and jokingly asked her why she suddenly dressed in a temper, the little noble said perfunctorily that the festival should be more festive, but in her heart Thinking: Women are the ones who please themselves.

Although all the concubines, clansmen and ministers are present at the banquet, the place where the nobles can sit is far away from the emperor, but Lan Qi is very comfortable sitting there. First of all, there are concubines and nobles around her, and Duanjing is chattering around, no one will care about her.

But this is just the nobleman's own thoughts. When the wine was halfway through, Concubine Rong went up to toast. When she came down, Concubine Rong deliberately walked around to Lan Qi, and said with a smile: "Don't stare at the emperor anymore, tonight the emperor Going to Chengqian Palace, what do you think if the imperial concubine sees you staring at her so non-stop?"

Lan Qi's cheeks were flushed, and she said softly: "The concubine is not watching all the time, but just occasionally... once or twice."

"I've looked at you three or four times, and every time I look at you, you can restrain yourself." Concubine Rong smiled, half joking and half scolding, and then went back to her seat. Concubine Duan asked her what was the matter, but Lan Qi didn't agree. I'm ashamed to say, but the few people sitting around me didn't notice it, so her every move is so easy to be spotted?

Thinking in his heart, he looked up subconsciously, and suddenly his eyes met with Xuan Ye's. There was a smile in the emperor's eyes, and the words of Concubine Rong were aroused in his heart, which scared the little nobleman to quickly avoid his eyes. If Concubine Tong Guifei saw this , I don't want to live a good life this year.

Probably because she blamed herself for being too complacent, Lan Qi drank a few more glasses of wine when she was nervous, Bu Guiren's eyes were all over the place and she followed Duan Jing and didn't pay attention to her, while Duan Concubine had been talking to a few Fujin from other palaces nearby, without paying attention to her. She was watching the singing and dancing on the stage indifferently, while unknowingly drank the whole pot of wine in front of her, at least to say the least.

Today's banquet was all of the finest wine, very ferocious, she only thought it was sweet and glutinous, she didn't know how strong the wine was, and when Concubine Duan noticed that her face was flushed and her eyes were loose, she was already drunk.But Lan Qi was drunk for the first time in her life, and she didn't know how to be drunk. When she was taken away limply, she asked Concubine Duan why she wanted to send her away.Only after exiting Qianqing Palace, when the cold wind blows outside, my whole body tensed up did I feel the pain of my skull cracking, my body fell limply, I couldn't stand at all, Huanchun was so frightened that I was in a hurry.

Mr. Li, who accompanied the superior, saw it early in the morning. He didn't need to wait for the emperor to signal, he had already ordered his little eunuch to come to support him, and he was ready to go outside the palace in a soft sedan chair. The little nobleman, who saves personnel, actually rolled down from the seat inside. If the little eunuch next to him hadn't blocked it with sharp eyesight and quick hands, she would probably have rolled directly from the inside to the ground.

Huanchun and the others had never seen her in such a state of embarrassment, and they were very embarrassed in front of the people in Qianqing Palace. In the end, Huanchun could only sit in the sedan chair with her, and supported her before sending her back to Zhongcui Palace.

The drunken little nobleman didn't vomit or make trouble, and he was still good at serving. Huanchun and Yukui were guarding the bedside. Yukui asked if the master had something unhappy to drink, but Huanchun clearly remembered that she had a happy face before going out. Yes, there is nothing to be unhappy about, the two of them can only guard foolishly.

It took a long time before the banquet was over, and Concubine Duan and Lady Bu came back in a hurry, Concubine Duan came to see her first, frowning and smiling bitterly: "Before leaving, the Emperor asked Eunuch Li to send me a message to take good care of her, this girl What's the matter, how did you get drunk?"

Huan Chun was also surprised: "I was so happy before going out, you saw it too."

While speaking, there was movement in the Chengqian Palace ahead, and everyone knew that it was Yu Jia who had come.

After the noble concubine returned to the palace, she thought Xuan Ye was going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she thought about washing up before she was ready to pick him up. Before she changed her clothes, she said that the emperor had arrived, she came out in surprise, and asked why she didn't go to the Palace of Compassion, Xuan Ye said that the Empress Dowager left a few great-granddaughters by her side for a few days, so it was inconvenient for him to go there.

Because Xuan Ye also had a drink, the imperial concubine asked Qinglian to make hangover soup, Xuan Ye didn't say anything, it seemed that he drank a lot, and just leaned on the kang and squinted to sleep.Concubine Tong Guifei went to change her clothes first, how could she serve her with the smell of wine, meat, fat and powder all over her body.But when she came back after washing, she saw that Xuanye was not on the kang, but sitting in front of the guqin, her beautiful big hands seemed to be brushing the strings slowly, but they didn't touch, so naturally there would be no sound.

The imperial concubine felt a little sour. She asked Qinglian to throw away the guqin that day, but Xuanye threw her to Concubine Wen's place the next day. Feeling uncomfortable, she took out the violin again and broke two strings after playing wildly. Now she always wears a long armor on her right hand in front of people, just to cover the scars on her fingertips.

"Xingjiu soup is almost ready, my concubine will bring it here." The imperial concubine smiled slightly, turned around and went out, and when she was about to reach the door, she heard the little eunuch talking outside, as if she was telling Eunuch Li, what to say, "Master Li is sleeping It was very heavy, and I couldn't wake up for a while, the concubine Duan said that there is no need to call the imperial doctor, so as not to make any noise and cause any trouble, Zhongcui Palace is lively enough today."

The noble concubine stood in the door, her heart sank little by little, only to hear Eunuch Li say: "Go and watch more, if the emperor asks, don't know. If the noble man is weak, he should be seen by the eldest princess." Injured, others will not say anything, let Tai Hospital pay attention."

"You go." The imperial concubine signaled Qinglian to go out to get the hangover soup, and then she turned back to Xuan Ye, who was still sitting in front of the guqin, as if thinking about something, looking drunk and sober, the imperial concubine usually knows the most The soft-spoken Cheng Huan actually didn't know what to do today.

Xuan Ye looked up at her, and didn't seem to have heard what he said just now that he was going to get the hangover soup, but instead asked: "I saw that you didn't drink less tonight, you are weak, and the imperial doctor told you to rest, and you are still not allowed to drink anymore Now, I will tell Qinglian and the others to take good care of you."

The words were almost exactly the same as those of Eunuch Li outside, the imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether Xuanye said these words to herself sincerely, or whether she was thinking about the Wuya family behind her, fortunately he was talking about Qinglian not Huanchun, fortunately he He can also see clearly that the person in front of him is himself, not a noble person.

"Is this Qin used by Er Niang?" Xuan Ye asked suddenly.

Concubine Tong's heart trembled, no matter how she brought this up, she had to respond: "Ama said it was used by my aunt, but it's a pity that my aunt is gone when I remember it, and Ama said yes, so I will remember it."

Xuan Ye smiled sadly, and finally stretched out his hand to brush the strings, the mellow tone drifted into the night sky, and he said casually: "I have never heard Er Niang play the piano."
