Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi remembered that Eunuch Li had reminded her yesterday evening that the prince had been indigestion recently and bothered her to watch some food, but she forgot when she turned around. Although Eunuch Li would not tell the emperor that it was her negligence, after all The nannies who followed the prince were the biggest negligence, but she still felt guilty.

Looking sideways at Xuan Ye, the emperor's good mood just now was reduced by half, but he was not very angry, he just frowned and told Director Li: "Just let the imperial doctor go and see, after all, I ate something from Ningshou Palace Going back, there is no need to make a fuss and disturb the queen mother, and there is no need to publicize this matter everywhere."

Director Li seemed to be relaxed all over, and heard the emperor say: "There is snow on the road and it is difficult to walk. Send a few eunuchs with good feet to carry the sedan chair, and send De Concubine back to Yonghe Palace in a while." Then he said to Lan Qi as if no one else was there, "Go back and have a good rest. You worked hard last night."

Lan Qi's face was flushed, fortunately Eunuch Li had already left, she nodded without saying a word, tightly hugging the "emperor's order" that Xuan Ye gave her, afterward someone came to pick her up, the emperor was going to the Qianqing Gate to listen to the government, and she It's time to go back, but Lan Qi still reminded me when we parted: "Although the emperor cares about the empress dowager's face, it is better to go and see the prince, after all the prince is still a child."

Xuan Ye happily said, "I have a sense of proportion."

The two parted in a good mood. Lan Qi sat in the warm sedan chair and went back to Yonghe Palace. When she entered the door, she heard Yin Zuo babbling. A few people gathered around the cradle, and Yin Zuo actually supported the cradle and stood up, shouting triumphantly, when he turned his head to see his mother, he let go and waved his hands when he was happy, but he lost his center of gravity and sat down on his buttocks.

Lan Qi hurried over, fearing that her son would cry, but Yinzuo giggled, hugged him and tried to stand up again, the little guy tremblingly held his mother's hand, shouting excitedly, beside the nurse and Lu Zhu and the others bowed their knees to congratulate the master, Lan Qi was also happy, and asked Huanchun to reward everyone with things, and even asked her to prepare, saying that at noon, she would take Yinzuo to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to announce the good news to the Empress Dowager.

Huanchun brought things to reward everyone, and after laughing for a while, said to Lan Qi: "The sixth elder brother will be one year old next month. The empress dowager said earlier that she would serve wine for the sixth elder brother. The master asked at noon to put it at Where, if it's in our Yonghe Palace, the servants have to start preparations with others, if it's in the Palace of Compassion, the servants don't have to worry about it."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "You just don't want to worry about it." But after thinking about it, she said, "The fifth elder brother didn't have a drink for his first birthday. Last night, the queen mother invited everyone to dinner to celebrate the fifth elder brother's first birthday. , we dare not presume, I went back to the Empress Dowager at noon, anyway, there are all kinds of excitement during the New Year's Eve, so there is no need to make extravagance, just ask the old man to reward you with something valuable."

Speaking of precious things, Lan Qi proudly said that the emperor rewarded her mother with a Maitreya Buddha, and said with emotion: "He just heard me say a few words to you, and he remembered it in his heart."

Huan Chun smiled joyfully: "I chatted with a few girls that day, and they said that if they leave the palace at the end of their age, they might not find a good family when they go out. The slaves asked why, and they said they couldn't find someone who treated them like the Lord Long Live treats their master." good man."

Lan Qi was stunned for a moment, and when she woke up, she immediately stretched out her hand to hit Huanchun, and blamed: "You must have said it, you, you..."

While playing, there were guests outside, Concubine Duan, Bu Guiren and Dai Changzai came, Concubine Duan deliberately said sourly when entering the door: "It is said that Empress De Concubine went to Qianqing Palace to serve hard work last night, I said let's not do this Come here, but they insist on coming, good sister, you have worked hard, you should take a rest, don't call us."

Lan Qi's cheeks were flushed, and she pulled Dai Jiashi to sit beside her, and said to her, "The concubine Duan is the most unruly lady, and my younger sister, you are the most demure. If you feel that Zhongcui Palace won't fit, you will come to live in Yonghe Palace."

Now that Dai Jia is also on a blind date with them, he joked, "Your concubine should not come to the Yonghe Palace to be conspicuous. Long Live Lord is very polite to your concubine. If you see your concubine moving to the Yonghe Palace and getting in the way, you should hate it." .”

Concubine Duan laughed triumphantly, saying that Dai Jiashi was really well trained by her, and Lan Qi was so angry that she wanted to send them back and not let Huanchun serve tea, but the joke was still a joke after all, the four of them sat down and just listened Bu Guiren sighed: "I have something to tell you. Concubine Yi cried and made a lot of noise in front of Ningshou Palace last night, you know that too, right?"

Lan Qi nodded: "When Sister Dai left, she was sitting in front of the gate of Ningshou Palace and crying, saying that she wanted to hug Fifth Brother, she looked very pitiful."

Dai Jia took the tea from Huanchun, and continued: "After the empress and the concubine left, I heard that the empress Yipin still refused to leave, and she was acting like she was messing around in front of Ningshou Palace, just waiting for the old lady inside to come out. He scolded, and he insisted on carrying Madam Yipin back. Who would have thought that she would come again early in the morning, kneeling in the snow under such a heavy snow, and begging the Empress Dowager to let her in to meet Fifth Elder Brother. It turned out that the queen mother said that the concubine and the elder brother's people would take Yinyou back to the elder brother's residence together. The Yipin empress should also have come to pick up Princess Kejing at that time, but instead of leading the princess away, she knelt at the door I begged forward. The concubine didn't dare to stay longer, so he left with the people who belonged to Elder Brother holding Yinyou in his arms."

The concubine Duan on the side drank tea and sighed: "Later she still refused to leave. I heard that while the queen mother sent someone to appease her, someone reported it to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Crying is very unlucky, it is unlucky for the Queen Mother, and she is punished to go back to Yikun Palace to contemplate behind closed doors. For three consecutive days from today, no matter the rain or snow, she will kneel in front of her palace gate for half an hour every morning to reflect, and she is probably kneeling now. What is it? She lost all face, why should she do it in the first lunar month."

"She has gotten to this point?" Lan Qi also finds it inconceivable that Yigui was such a lively and cheerful person in the early years, how come year after year, she has become more and more unknown to her, but this kind of person who is not afraid of anything She still has the same vigor as before. At that time, everyone before and after her was not afraid to speak ill of Concubine Zhao, and no one could stop her.

Concubine Duan said: "If you go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace in the future, this matter should be considered, but don't make the old man unhappy. I guess the Empress Dowager is not happy at the moment. I have already sent someone to inform Elder Sister Rong, She goes to Ningshou Palace to have a look, the Empress Dowager is the most conversant with her."

Dai Jiashi asked softly at the side: "Is it true that in the future, the fifth elder brother will not be able to recognize the mother-in-law Yipin?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one knew what would happen in the future, they were all mothers, and somewhat sympathized with Guo Luoluo.

Earlier, it was said that Concubine Yi was weak and unable to take care of the child after giving birth, so she had to work hard to take care of the Queen Mother for a while, but after the summer, Concubine Yi was able to move around. I wonder if it was because Guo Guiren offended the emperor and was grounded, and the matter of the child was gone.The Empress Dowager was kept in the Ningshou Palace, and her concubines were not allowed to disturb her at will. Concubine Yi insisted on waiting impatiently for another half a year without seeing the child, and the emperor didn't say a word for her. Seeing that the first year of life was over, this child seemed to be It is determined to be raised in Ningshou Palace.

"If there is no matter about her sister, she would ask a few words in front of the emperor, and maybe the child will go back, but because of Guo Guiren's matter, she can't even open her mouth if she wants to." Concubine Duan said, pointing at the cloth with great satisfaction. The nobleman and Dai Changzai said, "I have won you sisters, isn't it better than my own sisters? How nice it is for us to live in harmony."

As Concubine Duan said, they are not real sisters, but live in harmony like brothers and sisters, and live in peace and harmony, but the two sisters in Yikun Palace are getting worse day by day.

Originally Concubine Yi was quite favored, but since the incident with Mrs. Guo in the summer, the emperor has only been to Yikun Palace a few times in the past half a year. It was a mid-autumn festival to save face and said that he wanted to come, but he didn't come. , In the days that followed, she was patronizing the Yonghe Palace, and the two bowls of water in the Chengqian Palace and the Xianfu Palace were flat, so it was her turn to do anything.But Guo Guiren still didn't change his temper, even if he was grounded for self-reflection, he was still bossing around, the two sisters would quarrel every few days, if it wasn't for thinking about her compatriot sister, Concubine Yi might not be able to tolerate her long ago.

There used to be a lowly Jue Chan family living in the front and back yards, Guo Guiren might take it out on her when she was upset, but now without this vixen, her life is not good, she is full of anger and has nowhere to vent, so she beats and scolds the servants around her frequently , Taohong is considered the number one leader in Yikun Palace, and some court ladies come to cry with her, begging to be sent to another place, but Taohong doesn't want to cause trouble, so she just needs to appease her.

Last night when Yibi was carried back crying, Guo Guiren started fussing and chattering, but was stunned by a backhand slap from her sister's anger. After the two sisters fell out, Yibi went to beg again early in the morning, but Taohong couldn't stop her In the end, the empress dowager became angry and issued an order to punish her.

At this moment, Concubine Yi was kneeling in front of the door with her spine straight, and a room full of uterine women were also kneeling with her, but Guo Guiren was wandering around the yard with Ke Jing in his arms, looking at her sister kneeling in front of the door from time to time. There was a cut on the fingernail when he was slapped, but he was already like a winner, hugging his daughter and teaching her: "Auntie is not good, Ke Jing has to learn to behave, otherwise great-grandmother will punish you too."

Outside the palace gate, people would occasionally pass by. Whether they were watching a joke or feeling embarrassed, they hurriedly left with their heads down. At the bottom of her feet, Tao Hong knelt and walked to the master's side and said: "It's half an hour, master, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground."

The knee was so painful that she was numb all over, Yipin had been in a daze, and now she was relieved, the master and the servant wobbled to stand up, Taohong couldn't help but choked up in distress: "Why did you do it?"

"Don't cry, what's there to cry about?" Yipin sneered, struggling to gain a foothold and said, "It's the first time since I entered the palace that everyone in the six palaces knew about it. Wasn't it also punished by Concubine Zhao to kneel? What are you afraid of? Wu Yashi was almost beaten to death by the empress dowager back then, I was just punished to kneel, she can raise her head like that and start a new life, what is my suffering?"
