Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Who made her angry? Isn't she watching a play in Chengqian Palace today?" Xuanye called Huanchun up and asked with a serious expression, "Has she been bullied?"

Huan Chun was about to talk about the sarcasm of those gossip women, just when she called Long Live Lord, she heard the master calling her, everyone followed the prestige and saw Lan Qi standing in front of the door, she seemed to be running out in a hurry, not even wearing shoes , said sullenly, "Huanchun, hurry up and serve tea, the emperor is here, why don't you come in?"

"My lady..."

Huan Chun seemed to want to speak, but Lan Qi stepped out of the threshold barefoot and said angrily, "Aren't you going to serve tea?"

Xuanye couldn't see it, so he came over from Huanchun, pulled Lan Qi into the room, and blamed: "It's hot and you can't be barefoot, and you are messing around again. What's the matter, what can't be said, you are in such a hurry to stop her?"

The two sat down inside, Xuan Ye saw Lan Qi's mouth was pouted, she was holding a folding fan in her hand, and put it on her lips: "Look, you can put a fan on it, talk, what's the matter?" Which one has wronged you?"

Lan Qi jumped forward and got into Xuan Ye's arms. The emperor was startled, opened his hands, hesitated for a moment and didn't hug her, and said in mid-air: "You don't talk, how can I coax you, what's wrong?" After thinking for a while, he said with a smile, "Is the jar of vinegar overturned again? Why are you staying in Xianfu Palace for the past few days?"

"emperor……"

Lan Qi finally opened her mouth, and called out softly, which made Xuan Ye laugh: "With this tone, are you short of money?"

At this moment, Huan Chun came to serve tea, and when he entered the door, he saw the two people swaying so tiredly, so he quickly turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xuan Ye and said: "Huan Chun, tell me, what's going on, your master is only clingy, I won’t even sit down.”

Then Lan Qi jumped up, and wanted to push Huanchun away in disgust, she yelled to herself: "It's fine for the concubine to talk about it herself, don't talk about Huanchun."

Xuan Ye took the folding fan and tapped her on the forehead lightly, and said solemnly: "If you don't say anything, I will leave. It is so hot and I want to come over and drink a bowl of herbal tea to talk and relieve fatigue. Who wants to watch you get upset?"

Having said that, it can be seen that the person in front of him is full of grievances, and he still asked gently: "Do you want to say it, or you can't say it, can't I also make decisions for you?"

"It's just about those few days." Lan Qi lowered her head, playing with the jade pendant around Xuan Ye's waist with both hands, and said slowly, "Today when all the palaces and courtyards gathered together to wait for the show to start, they joked that before the emperor I met a court lady in the military camp, but I didn't see it brought back. She said it was a woman outside, you don't want anything, they were all laughing and joking, and the concubine knew in her heart that they were just mocking the concubine and wanting to embarrass the concubine .”

Xuan Ye smiled slightly: "Are you going to sue? After all these years, this is the first time I've heard you speak ill of others."

Lan Qi raised her face and said: "The emperor asked, otherwise the concubine wouldn't want to say it, if you go to Xianfu Palace to drink herbal tea, you won't see the concubine unhappy, just bored all night by yourself, it will be fine. "

"That's so pitiful, no one can coax you when you're unhappy." Xuan Ye smiled, and when he smiled like this, Lan Qi felt sweet in her heart, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. The emperor even said to her, "If I ask you which one? If you don’t want to talk about it, it’s something you don’t care about. Just forget about it. After all, it doesn’t matter if they talk a few words? Isn’t it because you and I are happy and happy that you are jealous? Are they not mocking you, they are slapping themselves in the face every sentence, insisting on telling others how unhappy they are, you should pity them."

"The emperor will say such a thing?" The emperor is partial to her every word and every word, but Lan Qi doesn't know whether she should be happy or not. She may be worrying too much, fearing that one day in the future, the emperor will speak of her like this to others .

But Xuan Ye was sincere, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head and said: "The kings of all ages smiled for Bomei, what earth-shattering things haven't been done? I want to be a wise king, and Mingjun can't do heaven-shattering things just to coax beautiful women, but this I can still say a few words, as long as you are happy."

It was only then that Lan Qi fell softly into his arms, Xuan Ye blamed the hot weather for sweating, so the person in his arms smiled happily and asked: "It turns out that this concubine is the emperor's beauty."

"Sit up quickly, I'll talk to you." Xuan Ye patted her on the back, seeing Lan Qi's face again, the gloomy face when she entered the door was no longer there, and there was a bright and bright smile on her face, he liked it in his heart, so he said softly, "You, you won't be young in a few years. It's not good to act like a spoiled child. You have been a concubine for a long time. You should change your temper."

Lan Qi was stunned, and asked incomprehensibly: "What can I do, what can I do, did I do something wrong?"

Xuan Ye said with a smile: "De concubine can't do it anymore, she's going to be a concubine de concubine."

"Your Majesty?" Lan Qi didn't know what state of mind she was in. She looked at the concubines in the palace. Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Wen were of noble birth, and their status was high when they entered the palace. She has survived for more than ten years, but she has only been with the emperor for more than six years. Kangxi has been regarded as a concubine alone in 18 years, and now she will jump to the concubine in only two years?

Xuan Ye smiled: "Of course it's not your business alone. I have received news that before summer, the San Francisco will be flattened. I am going to give a banquet to reward the three armies. And the tombs of the two empresses have been placed. Although I don't plan to establish another queen, but the Phoenix Seal must belong, and the harem will be sealed off at that time. In short, there will be many good things in and out of the palace this year. Although you don't need to be busy with these things, you will be cold-eyed while serving the imperial grandmother. Look at what other people do, when you become a concubine, the six palaces that I entrusted to you will be before your eyes."

Lan Qi listened quietly, and said suddenly: "So in the future, if the concubines are on errands for the emperor, they won't be able to play anymore?"

Xuan Ye was taken aback, laughed, twisted her face and said: "Why can't you play, I will play with you for the rest of my life."

"The concubine remembers it." Lan Qi said with a serious face, "The concubine will pay attention to her studies, and the empress dowager is also strict in teaching, and she was scolded yesterday."

"You're so smart, is there anything you can't learn?" Xuanye wiped off his shoes, lay back and said, "Let Huanchun bring tea, and say that I've been thirsty for a long time, and I'll rest with you for half an hour , I still have to see the minister at night."

Lan Qi didn't dare to pester anymore, so she asked Huanchun to serve tea. It was a hot and stuffy time, she sat on the side and fan Xuan Ye for a while, fearing that he would get cold and uncomfortable, so she put her clothes on him After sitting with him for half an hour, Xuan Ye slept soundly. After waking up, he washed his face and drank a cup of tea, and then went to work in Qing Palace.

But I didn't know how to remember it, so I walked to the door with Lan Qi, and suddenly said: "You go to see the emperor's grandmother tomorrow, just tell me what I mean, I want to take some cousins ​​from the grassland to Yingtai, ask Is the emperor's grandmother willing to go, if so, I will lead you along, we will go to Yingtai in summer, and I will also celebrate and give a banquet there, and come back in autumn."

Although Lan Qi remembered to ask, she didn't quite understand why the emperor suddenly thought of this, but Xuan Ye smiled: "Isn't there someone who likes to gossip and ridicule you, then I simply won't be in the palace, and I will lead you there generously." To escape the summer heat, the masters in the palace are gone, they can talk more happily, and I will help them."

The emperor left after saying this, leaving Lan Qi to stay in front of the door. Huan Chun heard it just now, and couldn't help but push the master and said: "Long Live Lord really loves you, this servant guesses, even if tomorrow The empress dowager is too annoying and refuses to go, so the emperor will definitely take you there to escape the summer heat."

In this way, Lan Qi relayed the emperor's meaning to the empress dowager the next day. The old man was lazy to move around, but the nanny persuaded him to spend a good time in the garden last year. It was hot and troublesome in the palace, so it is better to follow the emperor. Going to Yingtai for a short stay, the Empress Dowager felt good about it, and when she talked about who would accompany her, she sent someone to Qianqing Palace to spread the word.

Not long after, Eunuch Li came in person and bowed to report: "Long Live God said that Yingtai is not as spacious as the palace, and it is not suitable to take too many people there. Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Wen will naturally accompany them. In addition, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong The empress is in charge of the affairs of the palace, so it is not convenient to go, and the empress dowager must be served by the concubine concubine, and the elder princesses are also going, so I want to invite the concubine concubine to go with me. Madam, for the rest, please let the Empress Dowager decide.”

The emperor's intention was very clear, all those who shouldn't be brought should not be brought along, and then a few more people were added. In the end, Concubine Tong, Concubine Wen, Concubine De, Concubine Duan, Concubine Bu, and Dai Changzai were all included in the harem accompanying Yingtai to escape the summer heat. The few people who came over were really not many.

Lan Qi didn't expect Concubine Rong to go either, so when she left, she mentioned it to Aunt Su Mala, but she laughed: "We are all leaving, there must be a caring person in the palace, and Concubine Rong went with her in the early years. After passing Yingtai, there were not so many empresses and masters at that time, so she didn't care about it. If you have anything to say, the empress dowager will naturally find her to talk to her. Empress do not need to worry too much, and you will take care of the third elder brother when the time comes. Concubine Rong is happy."

Later, when the imperial decree was passed down, such an incident happened suddenly without any warning, but within a few days, the emperor took the empress dowager, the empress dowager and all the empresses away from the palace to Yingtai to escape the summer heat.

The accompanying few were naturally busy making arrangements and dared not be negligent, but they didn't catch anything. They just came back to their senses when Yu Jia left the palace.After all, in previous years, if there was a plan to escape from the summer heat, it was always made in spring, and there were many things that would not work out. This is the first time that I suddenly said to escape from the summer heat and left as soon as I said it.

But although there was a fixed number of people accompanying him, many masters and slaves left, and the palace became clean all of a sudden, and the remaining palaces and courtyards seemed to be left in limbo. Some people even cried emotionally, saying why Yingtai is not spacious enough to accommodate a few women.

And what was also left behind was Jue Chan, who was always in the side hall of Xianfu Palace. Although she was the biological mother of the eighth elder brother, she was not qualified to accompany her to escape the summer heat. much easier.But when Concubine Hui excitedly came to talk to Jue Chan this day, she thought that Jue Chan would figure it out, but she was sick, not only sick, but also returned to her previous indifferent attitude when she saw her, which made Hui Concubine very upset Frizzy, he asked her bitterly: "What's the matter?"
