Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Baoyun came in to invite Concubine Hui to have a meal. The master and servant dispersed without a trace. To prevent the master from stepping down in person, the Empress Dowager sent her here mostly to deter her. If there is any doubt in her heart, she can just report it, and she doesn't need to check it herself.

However, not to mention that Concubine Hui became suspicious when she vaguely saw Prince Gong in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, it was Lan Qi who rushed out of the Forbidden City with her head, and went to the outside of the capital by bicycle. , as if awakened, hurriedly called to stop, Prince Gong thought there was something important, so he reined in his horse and turned around, concerned: "What's the matter, ma'am?"

Now Lan Qi was even more embarrassed, her cheeks flushed slightly and she said: "The next day, the imperial doctor will take my pulse. If Huan Chun says I'm sick, he will even send someone to look at me. How can I avoid it? Send someone back, or report to the Empress Dowager?"

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. When the Emperor left, he told his ministers to leave a trustworthy person in the palace and report to the Palace of Compassion and Ning in the morning. The Emperor said that this matter is very inappropriate, and the Empress Dowager may decide I will get angry, but the most important thing is to bring you out, and we will discuss other things later. I dare not pass on the imperial decree. Please follow me at ease. The emperor is not far from Beijing. Let us travel faster and reach the emperor before midnight. The place where the royal driver rests."

"So close? Then wouldn't it be possible to return to Beijing tomorrow, and why would it take three days?" Lan Qi was full of doubts, but when she asked, she felt that she was causing trouble to Prince Gong. Immediately changed his words and said, "Then let's go quickly, don't ask the emperor to wait."

Chang Ning replied: "Then please sit still, Madam."

Afterwards, the carriage and horses drove even faster, bumping so much that Lan Qi's bones were about to fall apart. Fortunately, the driver was skilled. Although the bumps were unavoidable, it was not dangerous enough to throw her out, only waiting for her ears to ring from exhaustion. , when it was getting darker outside, the carriage stopped suddenly, Lan Qi heard the sound of guard patrol ahead, and not long after, Prince Gong came to invite her: "Your Majesty, get out of the carriage."

When I went out, the sky was dim, and it was already a dark night without lights. Prince Gong lit a lantern, handed it to her embarrassedly, and said, "Mistress Xie is in the palm of your hand. Excuse me, you are now a palace maid. What will happen tomorrow, the emperor will personally tell you, before I take you into the tent, if someone asks you on the way, you are a court lady."

Lan Qi's heart was pounding, she felt excited for no reason, she followed Prince Gong step by step with the lantern in her hands, and stopped in front of the big tent. Sure enough, the guards here were so strict that even Prince Gong couldn't easily enter the imperial tent, so she walked nervously. Walking into the brightly lit tent, Prince Gong immediately turned around to leave, and only leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty has worked hard, I will leave."

"Wang..." Lan Qi wanted to stop her and ask again, but Chang Ning had already left, and the reason why she still had doubts was because half of the people in the tent were missing, didn't it mean that Xuan Ye wanted to see her, who?

Blowing out the lantern and putting it on the ground, she took off her cloak by herself. She was wearing Huanchun's clothes inside, and there was a large mirror in the tent. She stood in front of her and looked at herself. She put it on again, but she felt tired when raising her hand to caress it. The continuous jolting of the carriage and horses made her limbs and bones seem to float out of her body, making her floaty and limp.

While stretching his muscles and bones with his hands on his waist, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and human voices. He didn't know what the outsiders said, but seeing the curtain in front of the tent was lifted, Xuan Ye in golden armor came into view impressively. Qi's heart fluttered suddenly, and she stood there in a daze.

There was no one behind the emperor, and when he entered the door, he saw Lan Qi standing in front of the mirror in a court lady's attire. Come and take off my armor."

Lan Qi moved forward in response to the sound, but stopped after thinking about it, pouted and looked at Xuan Ye angrily, staring at each other, Xuan Ye couldn't help it, smiled and came over to embrace Lan Qi. I don't think the cold and hard armor is so scary. I haven't seen each other for more than half a month. Whoever sees her will feel a fire in their hearts.

"The concubine is no longer a court lady, but she just wears the clothes of a court lady." Lan Qi said softly in Xuan Ye's arms, "Concubine pays my respects to the emperor, will the emperor's trip be safe? Your majesty...do you think Are you a concubine?"

Xuan Ye's eyes were full of smiles, and he pecked lightly on her cheek and said, "I think about it so much, I can't wait to travel thousands of miles every day and go back to see you."

Lan Qi smiled coquettishly: "Then what about the Empress Dowager, you miss your grandma too, don't you?"

Xuan Ye pinched her waist: "Pretentious, I quickly took off my armor before I went to inspect the army's night march. During the day, I spent a whole day among the soldiers, covered in dust. They brought hot water in a while. , give me a good wash."

Lan Qi whispered: "The concubine has been jolting around for most of the night, she is sweating all over her body, and she is sticky and uncomfortable."

Xuan Ye smiled: "Do you want to be together..."

"No."

Naturally, Lan Qi realized that she seemed to be in a military camp, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.But after the two of them cleaned up and snuggled together, Xuan Ye told her that they were not really in the barracks, but came back halfway to take a look, and they were just escorted by the army.

At that time, Lan Qi said, "So you're not in the barracks?"

Xuan Ye immediately pushed forward narrowly: "So what? My concubine, what are you going to do?"

Lan Qi knew that she couldn't escape tonight, not to mention that Xuan Ye was covered in flames. She herself hadn't seen her beloved for more than half a month, and she tossed and blinked away from the palace in the middle of the night. In this wilderness, the anxiety and confusion in her heart gradually changed. Really in Xuan Ye's arms, all of it turned into soft affection in an instant, but Jiao Didi said: "I'm afraid I can't, the carriage is really bumpy, my whole body hurts, and I'm so tired that I'm sleepy."

Xuan Ye's big hand brushed her soft and boneless body, gently or heavily rubbing and kneading her, coaxing her: "If I rub it for you, it won't hurt anymore."

Lan Qi's delicate skin turned red inch by inch under Xuan Ye's hands. Although it was not the first time she went to ** in a camp, but this experience was really rare, and it meant that she was newly married after a long absence, so I don't need to repeat it several times All I know is that when Lan Qi wakes up the next morning, she feels even weaker and weaker, but Xuan Ye is full of energy, leaving her alone to rest for a long time, and go to busy with important things by herself.

After waiting until the sun was up, Xuan Ye came back in a hurry, and Lan Qi had already washed and dressed. The emperor asked her if she was hungry. Passing by, they said that if they come back in time, they can see the grand scene, but they did not expect to see it, so they will leave."

But Lan Qi stopped and asked: "Your Majesty, what should the Empress Dowager do? Others are not afraid of gossip, but I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will be angry."

"I'm always here. The imperial grandmother doesn't know your temper and mine. Don't think about it when you come out. I want you to relax and have fun so I let Chang Ning pick it up. Don't make him work hard." Xuan Ye didn't care, Afterwards, they took the "ladies of the palace" with them even more generously. Few of the accompanying people had seen the concubines. There were some maids of honor on this trip. The emperor brought a few of them, but they all stayed in the original team and followed the prince. I care about it again.

However, there is a real missing concubine in the palace, and she is still the favorite concubine De Concubine, but people can't help but care about it. After one night, I don't know where the rumors spread from the palace, saying that De Concubine and Prince Gong had an affair and fled. The words were completely ugly, and he poked hard at the sensitive part of the palace, but it was such a coincidence that De concubine said she was sick and closed the door to thank guests.

The people in the palace are curious, so they want to go to the Yonghe Palace to find out, but after all, Lan Qi has the honor of a concubine, the empress dowager and the queen dowager don't talk, or Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen don't care, the gate of Yonghe Palace is really easy Jin, when the Palace of Compassionate Ning heard about it early in the morning, the Empress Dowager believed that Lan Qi was ill, and sent the imperial physician to see her, but when she returned, the imperial physician was ambiguous, saying that she had not seen her, and more or less rumors spread about the Palace of Compassionate Ning, There was an uproar in the palace for a while.

The Empress Dowager was really angry, and sent Aunt Su Mala to look at it. Huanchun couldn't stop her, and let Aunt see the empty bedroom, and the person who stretched out his arm through the curtain to feel his pulse just now was also dressed in green beads , Several people knelt down and begged Mammy not to tell the Empress Dowager, but Mammy twisted their ears and scolded: "You stupid thing, can the Empress Dowager hide it? If you keep hiding it, all the ugly things will come out."

But when the nanny turned back to the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager told her: "There is no need to investigate, she has left the palace. Just now someone came to report that Xuan Ye asked Chang Ning to pick him up. I'm afraid I won't agree." Kill first and play later. Everyone came to Xuan Ye's side in the middle of the night last night, and they only came to report early this morning. Xuan Ye was messing around, and Lan Qi's child has no brains. She refused to do such a thing. Did Chang Ning tie her up? Two stupid things, In the palace, in the relatives, maybe what to say about this matter, Xuanye is still with the prince."

The mother could only persuade: "After all, there is no publicity, it is just a rumor without a shadow. When the emperor An An comes back alive, no matter how well the Empress De concubine presents it to people, if the emperor doesn't care, what those people say will be useless. Don't be angry. , Fortunately, everyone is safe, so it won’t be too late for you to teach me a few words when you get back.”

The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly: "A lesson is inevitable. The tighter I control Lan Qi, the more she will understand the severity in the future, and the more honorable she will be in front of others. Just now, she was worried about something bad and was upset. Knowing that they are all good, Just have fun for a few days, being an emperor is not easy, but being an emperor's woman is even more difficult."

A couple far outside the capital, completely unaware of the hustle and bustle in the palace, seemed to let go of all their concerns, Xuan Ye took Lan Qi all the way out of the camp, and after walking far away, he carried her to ride together and rode straight to the camp a few miles away It seemed that she had climbed up a high slope, but when she was approaching, Xuan Ye covered her eyes with a veil, and then slowly led the horse forward, Lan Qi panicked and was hugged off the tall horse by him, Staggering step by step, he followed carefully, only to hear Xuan Ye say: "There are a lot of stones here, take your time, don't worry..."

"Your Majesty, please untie the veil, the concubine is dizzy." Lan Qi was blindfolded, she could see nothing but she felt light, but she finally settled down in one place, with the emperor hugging her waist, she slightly After struggling for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, others have seen it."

"The ones who turned their backs on their backs, which one sees, it's troublesome." Xuan Ye scolded her, and then he untied the veil a little bit, revealing a little light for her to get used to, and when she said that she had opened her eyes, she suddenly twitched. Opening the silk scarf, the emperor smiled with satisfaction when he heard Lan Qi's surprise.

What came into view was a vast peach blossom forest, condescending, full of bright red, tender and soft colors, peach blossoms are not unusual, what is strange is that Lan Qi has never seen so many peach blossoms blooming together.

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "The sky is high and the land is wide here, this is the real way to appreciate flowers. I know you must be annoyed by the four walls of the Forbidden City, and I am the same, let alone you?"

Lan Qi felt that her body became lighter, and the spring breeze was blowing. Occasionally, there were a few wisps of very faint fragrance, which was almost undetectable, and she even imagined it herself, but she just felt that her muscles and bones were relaxed, and her whole body was in a good mood. Maybe it was Xuan Ye who said it , where the sky is high and the earth is wide, unrestrained.

"I passed by here when I left Beijing. I heard that if you return to Beijing in time, you can see the blooming scene, but if the weather is bad, sooner or later, you will not see it. I don't know if it is your fate or my fate. I've caught up, and I definitely want you to come and have a look, even though I sent Chang Ning, I'm afraid you won't come." Xuan Ye embraced Lan Qi, couldn't smell the fragrance of flowers but could smell her own breath from her neck, smiled Said, "When I came back to see Chang Ning, that kid was still playing charades with me. Before I entered the tent, I was worried that I wouldn't see you. At least you are here. It's only half a month. Why do I miss you so much this time?"

"Your Majesty?" Lan Qi didn't understand either.

But Xuan Ye had the answer, and leaned against her, his words were full of sadness: "I have placed the tombs of the two empresses, and after that, there are only annual sacrifices and tomb repairs. What else can they do? They clearly Both used to be my wives, but they all left me. Niu Hulu's family is okay, Queen Hesheli shares our troubles, but cannot share happiness, Lan Qi...you promised me, we will be together forever. "

"Your Majesty..." Lan Qi felt warm and aching in her heart, and then she understood why Xuan Ye had pushed herself out of the palace so impulsively. Mixed emotions of joy and sorrow haunted him, and he couldn't wait to go to the palace to resolve it. I forgot the back of the emperor in the rain outside the Qianqing palace. The reluctance to let go of his dead wife is not an old love that she should be jealous of, but a proof that this man is worth entrusting. If he has no lover, what is his affection?

Lan Qi smiled coquettishly: "The concubine has promised several times, if you ask again, the concubine will charge interest."

"You..." Xuan Ye's mood suddenly brightened, he hugged her and turned around to kiss her, "How do you calculate the interest? Tonight?"

"Your Majesty!" Thinking that the guards behind might hear it, Wu Ya Lanqi's face was redder than a peach blossom.

But at the moment, in the deep palace, there is a lot of activity in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace. It seems that some concubines are coming to visit, and Huanchun prevents them from entering. The noble concubine listened impatiently to Qinglian, then suddenly got up and said, "I'm so bored."
