Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The prince is gifted and intelligent. He can write well at the age of six. He has a calm and introverted personality. He is different from his elder brother who is quiet and active. Now that the two brothers go to the study, although they each have their own teachers, it is inevitable that they will be compared.Besides, the eldest elder brother has been unable to concentrate on his studies, the emperor has repeatedly been angry about this, although he entered the study earlier than the prince to be enlightened, but with the capital of the prince, it will not take long for his knowledge to be better than that of his elder brother.

There are many gatherings in the first month, and the women gather together to gossip. In the early years, they only talked about drama stories or the quality of rouge and gouache. Those who are worthy have heard about the origins of these two Han masters from their families. Among them, Li Guangdi, who was recommended by Prince Kang from Fujian, was rumored to be a prostitute for a high-ranking Bo. Wan Xuan, but the prince chose such an unbearable enlightenment teacher.

In the afternoon of this day, all the concubines gathered at Concubine Rong's place, listening to Yinzhi recite "Thousand Characters", praised the child's cleverness, and talked about the prince's teacher. The nobleman said to Concubine Hui: "Eldest elder brother is naughty, but he has a good teacher, so you don't have to worry about it."

Concubine Hui leisurely peeled the crystal-clear grapefruits for her sisters, smiling: "My sister is coaxing me, elder brother's talent is not good, this child is considered to be a military candidate in the future, the emperor also said, in the future, I won't do it." Force him to read poetry and books, and since he is active, he should practice martial arts, riding and archery. People always have strengths and weaknesses, and I am very at ease. But the prince is different. He is the future emperor of our Qing Dynasty, so naturally he must be proficient in both ancient and modern civil and military. According to Mingzhu, this Li Guangdi is a first-class talent. The emperor has a poisonous eye. The rumors of selling friends and seeking glory may be made up by others because they are jealous of him? The important thing is talent, a talented person is worthy of being a prince. Teacher. Speaking of which, let's not talk about the East Palace, the emperor doesn't like it."

As she spoke, she shared the prepared pomelo among the people, and the palace maid brought hot water for her to wash her hands. Concubine Rong asked Ji Xin to wipe her hands with Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui said that her face was dry and she wanted to borrow If you want to use it, you can simply go to the inner hall with Ji Xin.

And as soon as she left, she heard Mrs. An whispering to the people next to her: "Mrs. Really being compared to the prince, there is no brilliance on his face."

Everyone sighed for a while, Concubine Rong coughed a few times, and finally stopped the topic. She picked an interesting topic to talk about, and she didn't mention the child's study, and Yinzhi also wanted to play with her sisters. After Qi signaled to Concubine Rong, she led him to Rong Xian.

In Rongxian's room here, the three sisters Chunxi, Rongxian, and Duanjing were getting together and didn't know what to do. They drove all the nurses and maids out of the door. As soon as they heard Yinzhi's voice, Duanjing yelled loudly: " Don't come in, Yinzhi, don't come in."

Yin Zhi looked at Lan Qi pitifully, and said delicately: "Ms. De, my sisters always bully me. I want to play with Yinzhen. Shall we go find Yinzhen?"

Lan Qi was surprised, she had heard the crown prince say that Yinzhen robbed the third elder brother's things, is it because children don't hold grudges, or there is no such thing at all?Smiling, he knelt down and asked Yinzhi: "Yinzhi likes the fourth elder brother?"

"Well, because I am an elder brother, my elder brother wants to play with my younger brother." Yinzhi looked proud and said with a smile, "Yinzhen listens to me, he is a younger brother, and I will not bully Yinzhen, but my sisters are old. bully me."

"Yinzhen listens to you?" Lan Qi became even more confused, testing the child, "Why does he listen to you?"

"Because I'm an elder brother." But Yinzhi said to himself, unable to understand what Lan Qi wanted him to express, he kept pulling Lan Qi to go outside, saying that he wanted to find Yinzhen, at least It can also prove the harmony and friendship between their brothers.

But how can Chengqian Palace go casually, Lan Qi can only coax him: "You can see Yinzhen during the Lantern Festival, and I will go to Ningshou Palace to have dinner tonight, and I can see Yinqi. Yin Zuo hugged me, and when the time comes, the two younger brothers will play with you, okay?"

While coaxing the child, there was a burst of laughter in the room. The nurses in front of the door couldn't help but go in to have a look at the scene, and then they heard "Little Ancestor" yelling. Lan Qi was also curious, and led Yin Zhi into the room. When I entered the room, I saw that the faces of the three girls were all painted in colorful colors. A table was spread out with various rouge and gouache powder. Duan Jing's lips were smeared into bloody mouths. The girls laughed at each other, and the nurses were anxious to fetch water for them. They wash their faces.

Yin Zhi pointed at the three older sisters and laughed, Rong Xian was unconvinced, grabbed the rouge and rushed over and wiped his younger brother's face bright red, Yin Zhi burst into tears, making Lan Qi at a loss, Rong Concubine and the others heard the movement over there Look, but seeing the daughters all turned into big faces, and seeing the table full of makeup and powder, it's really angry and funny.

Concubine Hui also laughed and said: "No wonder I went to Sister Rong's room to powder, there were not many decent ones on the table, I asked why Sister Rong was so simple, Ji Xin also said why the things disappeared, so they took them away. "

"Emiang, my sister wiped me..." When Yinzhi saw Concubine Rong, she jumped up and cried, and the rouge on her face rubbed against her auspicious clothes. Went to the side to wipe it, Yin Zhi chased him and cried, Rong Xian ran over and grabbed his younger brother to kill him, "Why are you crying, a boy, you have to celebrate in the first month, if you cry again, I will beat you."

Yinzhi was beaten up by his sister, and he really kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to make a sound, sobbing and crying, Lan Qi and Concubine Hui pulled them away in distress, and Rong Xian waved his fist to attack his younger brother: "Don't shut your mouth, it's ugly Terrible, if you cry again, I will beat you."

Everyone was amused, Concubine Duan and Lady Bugui were also busy washing Chunxi and Duanjing's face, scolding them for being too naughty, Concubine Rong was beside her with a headache and said: "These siblings are fighting each other, I don't care about this and that crying , I get dizzy with a headache every day."

Everyone said that this was Concubine Rong's blessing, she was the only one in the palace who had both children, Concubine Rong was very polite and proud in her heart, after talking and laughing, she broke up, leaving only Concubine Lan, Concubine Duan and Concubine Hui , the three sisters washed their faces, and begged Lan Qi and Bu Guiren to paint them well. Sure enough, the girls had grown up and began to want to imitate the grown-ups in applying makeup and makeup. Concubine Duan sat aside and watched, suddenly feeling: "Little People are slim in a blink of an eye. I used to be afraid that they would not grow up, but now I am afraid that time is too fast, and when they grow up, they should get married. They are far and wide, and I don’t know where to go to get married."

The words made everyone sigh, Chunxi and Duanjing were not born by her to be so affectionate, not to mention the daughters born by Concubine Rong herself, considering that most of the eldest princesses in the royal family married far away, it is rare to see them a few times in a lifetime, Unavoidably feeling sad, only Concubine Hui advised them: "So what about my son, he will be busy with state affairs in the future, and forget his mother when he has a daughter-in-law, even in the capital, how many times will we see each other in a lifetime? After all, we sisters will live with each other. For the child."

When she was talking, Chun Xi finished the drawing first, and she ran over to show off with winking eyebrows, tired of Duan concubine asking if she looked good, and soon Rong Xian and Duan Jing also came. Seeing the taste of a little adult, Concubine Hui smiled and said: "Don't wash when you go to Ningshou Palace at night, show the Queen Mother, I will definitely say that you are little goblins."

Yinzhi was snuggling up to Concubine Hui, and immediately poked his head out to follow up and said, "My sister is a goblin."

Rong Xian angrily wanted to come and catch him, and his wife and his wife played together, laughing and laughing all over the room, until it was time to go to Ningshou Palace in the evening, and then they all put on their grooming. Hurrying back, when we were about to go out together, someone from Qianqing Palace said two things, one is that the emperor asked the elder brother and the prince to go to Ningshou Palace to have dinner tonight, please take care of them, and the other is to let the concubine go first A trip to the Qing Palace.

Concubine Duan pushed Lan Qi and said, "Go, go, if you don't come back, we will ask the Queen Mother for leave for you."

Lan Qi didn't want to be teased by them, so she told them to leave quickly, and she told Huanchun to go back to Yonghe Palace and take Yinzuo with her nurse, and brought Yukui to Qianqing Palace.

Right now in the first lunar month, the palace is very festive with lanterns and festoons. The white snow reflects the red lanterns and red silk. In the palace with gold bricks and red walls, there is less seriousness in the past. For dinner, a few old concubines also came to the Palace of Compassion and Ningshou together with Fujin, Lan Qi didn't want to stand in front of her as an imperial concubine, so she didn't go to make a fuss. Who would have thought that Xuanye would come looking for her again.

Therefore, as soon as she entered the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Lan Qi muttered: "The emperor can't let his concubines be used? What's the matter?"

Xuan Ye was playing with objects, when she heard her say this, she pulled her to her side and scolded: "You don't want to see me, what you say is really chilling."

Lan Qi looked at the rare treasures on the table, she had never been interested in them, Xuan Ye knew that she didn't like jewelry and playthings, and usually wouldn't coax her with such things, but today she got a good one, Cai Tete called her, excitedly pulled her aside, and opened a huge box, inside which lay a kind and charming Maitreya Buddha, Xuan Ye said with a smile: "I invited her from Yunnan, and it was carved from a whole piece of jade." , I specially asked someone to come here for you."

When Lan Qi saw the Buddha statue, she folded her palms together and prayed, then she said: "That's great, I should invite you to the Great Buddha Hall of the Compassion Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager loves it the most, you leave it for your concubines, are you afraid that the Empress Dowager will not be happy? "

But Xuan Ye said: "There is another bigger one still on the way, that is for the emperor's grandmother. Although this one is for you, it is not for you to put in the Yonghe Palace."

Lan Qi carefully closed the box, and then heard Xuan Ye continue to say: "I heard you say last time that you wanted to buy a Maitreya Buddha for your mother, and I will remember it in my heart."

"The concubine didn't tell you." Lan Qi was very surprised, she did mention it, but it was when she was sweeping the statue of Avalokitesvara in the Yonghe Palace, she said to Huanchun, saying that her mother liked Maitreya Buddha, Thinking about when I can get a Buddha statue for Er Niang, why did this word reach Xuan Ye's ears?

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "When I came over that day, didn't you and Huan Chun clean up the small Buddhist hall? I heard you tell Huan Chun, so I remembered it in my heart."

Lan Qi felt relieved, and felt even more guilty. It turned out that Xuan Ye heard it with her own ears. She thought that everything she said and did was under the eyes of the emperor. Frankly speaking, she was really uncomfortable for a moment just now.
