Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

These words settled in Lan Qi's heart, they are both Xuan Ye's women, they are the concubines of this harem, the life in the deep palace is the same.

In the past when she was doing needlework gossip in the Compassion Ning Palace, Madam Su Mala also told her about the time when the Empress Dowager was young, she was still in Shengjing at that time, and life was like walking on eggshells at that time.The Empress Dowager's elder sister, Concubine Chen, was the most favored, and someone instigated their sisters to discord, and the Empress Dowager, like her, was not noble when she was young. Concubines without points are nobler.

The few above who are not favored can bully her, and if there are sisters who are not in harmony, openly and secretly fight, one after another, the ghost gates come, until the death of Emperor Taizong, a group of women turned the tide and pushed her son to the big position, and then entered the customs and became the empress dowager. After becoming the empress dowager, the late emperor favored Dong E's family alone and disturbed the six palaces. After seeing the warmth and coldness of the deep palace, he often said to the nanny that any woman in the palace has a little lust, and if she doesn't fight, she will bleed. Can't be perfect.

And Aunt Su Mala taught Lan Qi all these words.

"When Sister Rong and I came to the emperor, there was no queen yet. The huge harem was deserted, and the other court ladies envied us both for serving the Lord Long Live." Concubine Duan recalled the past, her face full of emotion, "We The two sisters know the basics, but others deliberately instigated them. We were both counting on the nanny to teach us when we were young, and ignored them. Later, when the queen entered the palace and the concubine Zhao entered the palace, we also had a title. Fortunately, Queen Hesheli is the most kind and tolerant, and she is not hostile to our sisters. Concubine Zhao has always been arrogant and unwilling to get close to others. We can't care about it, and we will live in peace. Concubine Hui and Concubine Hui entered the palace. Once there were many people, it would be lively, but it was not as good as fighting openly and secretly. At that time, the emperor was young. Although he was already in charge, he was still shaky. Where do you want to fight? It’s because life is easier now, and the new young people have never suffered. Looking at the good in front of them, who doesn’t want to be the champion? I just entered the palace to learn my skills, and I was beaten and scolded if I didn’t do well. When I was crying on the gravel road, I just hoped that one day I would be able to leave the palace at the end of my life, who would have thought that I would have this day?"

What Concubine Duan said made Lan Qi feel sad, they all came into the palace to be maids of honor, they were born dwarves, the acquired dignity was earned by themselves, and they were all sincere and fearful, accompanying the king like a tiger, without the heart of awe and satisfaction , this day will not last long.Just like Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen, who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths and grew up pampered, they never lived a day of hard work, but instead they were dissatisfied with their desires. In their world, they just want to be superior to others, and they must not be inferior to others at all times.

The same person, the same emperor's woman, is completely different in her bones.

At this time, the curtain in front of the door was raised, and nobleman Bu came in, and whispered that the two daughters were asleep, she came to have a look, and asked Lan Qi about Elder Wan's brother, her eyes were full of tears.Afterwards, there was a coughing sound from inside, and several people came in to have a look. Dai Jia, who had woken up, was terrified, and wanted to crawl out of the quilt to salute and thank the three of them. After answering the words, I will live in Zhongcui Palace from now on, there are several rooms in the backyard empty, as long as you don't dislike us for having a lot of people here."

Dai promised to cry so hard that she couldn't speak, and when she calmed down, everyone asked why she was so weak, and she became more courageous when she saw someone supporting her, so she told about the abuse and grievances she suffered at Mrs. An's place. Bai, snorting angrily, said: "Just assume that she is so mean-spirited and vicious. You are a famous person after all. Isn't she afraid of being held accountable?"

Bu Guiren was also bullied by An Guiren, and said to Dai Jiashi: "The emperor's kindness is mighty, you have to show her a good life in the future."

After this day, Mrs. Dai Jia will live in the backyard of Zhongcui Palace, and make a small promise that she won't have to bother her teachers and mobilize the crowd, and it will be safe for the concubine to ask the concubine Rong to return to the queen mother.The funeral affairs of elder brother Wanfu in the palace were also handled in an orderly manner, both palaces gave out pensions, and concubines Yi took care of them.

By the time of Lantern Festival, Xuan Ye decreed that all the princes and elder brothers should be renamed from the prince's generation onwards. From the word "Yin", because of the minister's proposal, in order to show the prince's dignity, the clan's children will not change their names for the time being. The four eldest elder brothers of Lan Qi entered the jade card in sequence, and Lan Qi's younger elder brother was the fourth elder brother. From that day on, everyone in and outside the palace called the fourth elder brother.

As soon as the first month passed, the palace withdrew the New Year's festivities, and began to be busy with the anniversary memorial ceremony for Empress Niu Hulu. Seeing that there are too many customers and tired, the phoenix body violates the harmony after the Lantern Festival, but Lan Qi persuaded the fourth elder brother to move back to the elder brother's house but was rejected. She can only take care of her every day in front of her. During these days, the emperor has served the most Yes, it's the Yi concubines.

In mid-February, Nala gave birth smoothly and gave birth to her little elder brother Yinti. The empress dowager was delighted that the emperor had another heir, and Nian Nala had only lost a child, and there are many high-ranking concubines in the harem now, so there is no need to worry about it With many scruples, he issued a decree to promote the Nala family to a nobleman, and Xuanye gave many rewards, and the nobleman Nala was also very popular for a while.

In the twinkling of an eye, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. This year is warm early. At the end of March, all the flowers in the palace are in full bloom. The empress dowager has recovered from the phoenix body under the careful care of the noble people. On that day, she went to Xingyu Garden with Xuanye and Fuquan. Xuan Ye was very happy that he didn't need any support or crutches when walking all the way, but seeing Lan Qi lose a lot of weight because of this, he felt very distressed.

As for the case of Prince Gong's Mansion, the two palaces finally put down a strict decree to suppress the rumors of Fu Jin's murderous hands in order to protect the dignity of the royal family. It is a family matter to teach them a lesson behind closed doors. You have to be obedient, and Prince Gong's mansion is peaceful and peaceful for a while.But the old man breathed a sigh of relief. Fulin's seventh son, the pure prince Longxi, fell ill again. In order to appease his grandmother, Xuanye went to the palace to inquire in person. Coax the Empress Dowager to say that Longxi is recovering.

Later, in order to let the emperor's grandmother relax, he planned to go to the Yuquan Mountain Palace in the summer to escape the summer heat. The inside and outside of the palace were busy, and the concubines and concubines in the harem were very excited because they knew that this trip would be accompanied by retinues.

The hourglass drips, the day and night rotate, and it is the end of April in the blink of an eye. It was originally planned to leave for Yuquan Mountain on the day of Duanyang after the memorial ceremony of Queen Hesheli in May. There is an atmosphere of going out inside and outside the palace. They are busy in the Compassion Ning Palace all day long.

It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the whole palace of Compassionate Ning was prepared to prevent the Empress Dowager from being caught by the rain, but under the meticulous care, the fourth elder brother was neglected. It was probably because of the nurse's milk that she cried more than one day, and Xuan came to the imperial doctor to see that she was ill.It was the first time that the fourth elder brother fell ill since he was born. The Empress Dowager was very worried and almost summoned everyone from the entire Tai Hospital.

But because of the continuous rainy days, elder brother also had something to do here, the younger elder brother seemed to be congenitally deficient, and he had been declared a doctor several times before he reached a hundred days, and he was ill again today, so he reported it to Concubine Rong, and concubine Rong let Nala Shi went to have a look, she hurried to catch up with steam, but saw that elder brother's place was empty, only a few nurses and eunuchs were there, and asked why the imperial doctor didn't come, and it took a long time to see a little eunuch tremblingly saying: "Slave I went there twice, but there was no one in the imperial hospital, and it was said that the fourth elder brother was ill, and the imperial doctors were all called to the Compassion Palace by the empress dowager."

The nobleman's head shook, his cheeks flushed from holding back, tears rolled in his eyes, and he kicked the eunuch with hatred and scolded: "You dog slave, look for it again, is the fourth elder brother the prince, and my little elder brother is the prince?" Not a prince anymore? A dog sees things that are inferior to people, so go to the imperial doctor, there is something wrong with the little elder brother, and it will kill you."

Everyone persuaded and comforted her, and invited Nala to go inside, and sent someone to look for her. Her little prince was crying uncontrollably, and her heart was broken by crying. Half an hour later, another came. The young imperial doctor, that imperial doctor is not good at pediatrics, I don't know why after looking at it for a long time, and the trouble continued until it was dark at night, and then an old imperial doctor came.

The old doctor knew at a glance that the little elder brother was congenitally deficient, and he had reported to the emperor before that the nobleman was often in poor health when she was pregnant, and the fetus was insufficient in the womb. Knowing that, several imperial physicians can diagnose and treat with peace of mind, not afraid of being accused of crimes.

But these Nala nobles didn't know, she only saw that the imperial physicians were not doing their best, crying and making trouble for them to diagnose and treat, so she went to the gate of Qianqing Palace to beg. She had lost the prince due to congenital insufficiency, and knew that the little elder brother would not be able to recover, but she couldn't say such words directly, so she could only satisfy her time and time again, urging the imperial doctor to keep watch day and night.

However, suffering from the inability to return to the sky, a few days later, when the rain cleared and the fourth elder brother was alive and kicking like a bell, the little elder brother Yinyu in the elder brother's office had exhausted his life.

The Empress Dowager was naturally sad, Xuan Ye came to comfort her personally, and persuaded her that he knew early on that it was bad at birth and could not be defeated by fate, and the old man had never looked at it a few times, and the fourth elder brother was healthy and lively, and gradually calmed down sad.

But because of this incident, thinking that Guo Guiren was about to give birth, the Empress Dowager didn't want to go anymore, but Xuan Ye insisted on serving the emperor's grandmother to relax and visit Yuquan Mountain, so he changed it to June.

At the end of May, Guo Guiren gave birth to a white and fat little princess. No girl was born in the palace for a long time. The Empress Dowager was very happy. The little princess brought all the concubines to join in the fun, and everyone had joy on their faces. Only Nala, who was following behind, looked sad. Seeing that she had lost two sons and hadn't attracted attention in the palace, her heart was already ashes, and the only thing that hadn't been ashes was probably only her deep hatred for the nobles. , fully convinced that if her child hadn't been cursed and robbed of the imperial physician, how could she be so unfortunate.

Wu Yalanqi didn't realize this, she followed the empress dowager to give birth to the little princess, although Guo Guiren felt uncomfortable after giving birth to a daughter, but seeing the girl, the old man liked to come here in person, and gradually He became happy, and because his elder sister, Princess Yipin, was raised directly under her knees, he also relieved himself of the hard work that he couldn't see through his elder brother. Those who are still nursing in the bed have joy on their faces when they see it.

People came and went, Yipin helped Nalashi come in, pushed her in front of her sister to let her sit and talk, and when she turned around, she gave her a wink, Guo Gui understood, they still had a happy event here.

When the others retreated and heard the bustle outside, Guo Guiren took Nala's hand and said: "My sister is sorry to see you, and I will often come to Yikun Palace to sit and sit. Be a little princess and be loved by my own daughter."

The words made Nala's tears flow, and Guo Guiren said while the iron was hot: "Our sisters and sisters are all the same. How can we compare with a virtuous man? Just look at me, don't be sad. Now the imperial concubine can't get sick. Concubine Wen The empress doesn't care about things, the concubines are all good people and good natures, she is the only one in the palace, she coaxed the empress dowager to like it so much, today the old man came in person, I was so panicked, I was really afraid that the nobles would be jealous of me , give me small shoes to wear in the future, she said in front of the empress dowager, my life will be difficult."

Nala said wearily: "She used to make trouble so that Empress Niu Hulu bumped into the pillar in front of the emperor, how capable she is."

Guo Guiren rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it? If she hadn't worked hard and mobilized all the imperial doctors to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to surround the fourth elder brother, would it have delayed the little elder brother? If it wasn't her words, the emperor The queen mother is in a hurry, what are we? Good sister, no matter how wronged you are, don't show it on your face, be careful that she says a word on top to make our sisters wear small shoes, and it will be difficult for us to meet in the future."

Nala's brows tightened, old sorrows and new hatred gathered together, and there was murderous anger in his eyes, Guo Guiren's heart trembled when he saw it, and when he looked up, the elder sister outside came in with Wu Ya's support, and hurriedly laughed: " The noble man is here, I can't get up here to greet you."

Lan Qi was only polite, and said with a smile: "Everyone is the same, you are too polite," she put down the tiger shoes in her hand, "I made shoes for the little princess."

Guo Guiren's heart skipped a beat, although she knew that Wu Yashi also made the tiger-toed shoes congratulations in the hope that she would give birth to a little prince, but she gave birth to a daughter, so she knew that she didn't intend to scare others, but now the words are too late The words were eloquent, and he opened his mouth and said: "It is said that the little princess is born like a male doll, and it is suitable to wear these tiger-toed shoes. Otherwise, I will hide it well and wear it to him when I have a little brother. But we Daughter likes to look good, and noble people will make a pair of small shoes for you, which look like butterflies with flowers."

Little elder brother, wear small shoes, little elder brother... The sound of the sound destroyed the nobleman's heart, the obsessed woman's heart was burning, her eyes were so dazed that she couldn't see clearly, she turned her head and vaguely saw the embroidered basket beside the bed. A pair of scissors was shining brightly, and as soon as he reached out his hand to grab it, he turned around and stabbed at Lan Qi.

Lan Qi was talking and laughing, just turned her head around, and suddenly saw the danger coming, she instinctively dodged to the side, but her arm was grabbed by Yipin, and the two of them rolled on the ground together, and the crazy Nalashi didn't wait to see her again. She rushed over, and was immediately restrained by Tao Hong and the others behind her and knocked off the scissors. By the time Lan Qi came to her senses, the court ladies had already shouted and made a fuss.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were accompanying the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother to see the little princess outside, when they heard that something happened inside, the good atmosphere dissipated, and when they calmed down for a while, they heard Na Lashi yelling like ghosts and wolves: "Wu Ya!" Shi, you bitch, give back the life of my little elder brother, give back the life of my child..."

The empress dowager's face was gloomy, she was startled, she pointed to Concubine Rong and said, "Quickly shut her mouth, send her back to be under strict supervision, how can a crazy person be let out casually?"

Concubine Rong looked nervous, and resentfully went to make arrangements, feeling furious, she saw Lan Qi was helped out, her arm was rubbed on the ground with a piece of skin as big as half a slap, and she was being asked to quickly take care of the wound, but Lan Qi arrived at Tai The empress dowager said to the empress dowager: "The nobleman must be very sad. For the sake of the little elder brother who is gone, please forgive her. The little princess was just born, and it is not appropriate to fight and kill in the palace."

The empress dowager was full of anger, she blamed Lan Qi for being ignorant, pleading for a lunatic, and she didn't want her to step down in front of everyone, and she would teach her a lesson when she got back, so she nodded first, and said in a deep voice: "Let the imperial doctor Also go and see if Nala is hysterical, recuperate well, don’t put her under house arrest, it’s ugly when it spreads out, she’s also pitiful.”

Lan Qi saw that the old man's brows were full of anger, and she knew that what she said to persuade her made her angry, but she thought that Na Lashi was indeed pitiful, there were many crimes in the deep palace, and she had caused enough things because of being favored, even this time Just for myself, I also braced myself for a while, and thought that although the Empress Dowager ordered not to be placed under house arrest, Concubine Rong and the others would definitely not let her out, and I should not be threatened again in the future.

Concubine Hui is the most eye-catching at this moment, and hastily picked up the little princess to make the old man happy, she can say with a clever mouth, the empress dowager walked down the steps, and she didn't want to make people in the palace panic.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually eased. The maids of Yikun Palace brought a medicine box to wipe Lan Qi’s wounds, but the owner, Yipin, who hadn’t seen her for a long time, came out. The Empress Dowager said to the Empress Dowager: "I beg the Empress Dowager to make an order to invite the imperial physician. The servants deserve to die. The Yipin is actually two months pregnant. Because she lost a child before, this time she is afraid that the fetus will be stingy early, so I have never dared to say that just now, in order to save the noble man, the master fell badly, and the servants dare not hide it anymore."

Everyone sighed when they heard the words, the empress dowager immediately sent someone to announce the imperial physician, while coaxing the empress dowager to say that there are many good things in the palace, don't be angry for irrelevant people, wait until the imperial physician comes, and it is confirmed that Yi concubine is more than two months pregnant, Only the old man showed his face, saying that if the six palaces are to be harmonious, it would be serious to spread more branches and leaves for the emperor.

A farce ended in comedy. There was good news for Concubine Yi after the miscarriage that year, and she had always lost face in front of the emperor. There were rumors that the Yikun Palace was ominous in the past. Guo Guiren gave birth to a daughter, and Yi concubine was pregnant again, which naturally became a blessed land again, and the Guo Luoluo sisters were even more blessed people.

Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager gave rewards, and the emperor also sent Director Li to send many rewards in his busy schedule. After the concubines were gone, the Yikun Palace was still full of joy. Because the concubine Yi and Guo Guiren were both in bed, Jue Chan agreed to help with the trivial matters. While sorting the rewards into categories in Yipin's room, Tao Hong came in sullenly.

Yi Pin saw it and asked with a smile, "Is the Emperor coming?"

Tao Hong trembled, and said tremblingly: "The emperor... probably won't come, the servants just heard that Director Li just sent someone to take the nobleman to Qianqing Palace."

There was a loud bang, Jue Chan promised to be startled, turned around and saw Yipin dropped something on the ground, her face was flushed red, her teeth were clenched, she was no longer as happy as before.
