Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Eunuch Li understands that the emperor wants to keep a court lady, it is really a matter of one sentence, but in order not to burden Empress Debi, and not to make her feel wronged by Huanchun, he spent a lot of time to fulfill this wish, but in the end he could not let Depin Knowing that it was the Holy Majesty's will, anyone who heard it would be moved by the emperor's intentions for the concubine De.

He has been with the emperor all his life, and many new things come from De Concubine. Now he is coldly picking the apprentice who will take over his position in the future. Eunuch Li often warns them to open their eyes and take a good look, who is in the palace? The master is the one who should take it to heart and serve her well.

A few days after that, Lan Qi accompanied the emperor alone in Yingtai Hanyuan Hall, Xuan Ye led her to visit several beautiful places in Yingtai, fishing during the day and enjoying the cool at night, feeling very uncomfortable every day.But after three or four days leisurely, the Empress Dowager's health was not very good. Maybe it was due to hard work at the celebration banquet. After a few days of laziness, she started to have a fever. Originally, she planned to return to the palace at the end of July, in order to take care of the Empress Dowager Due to the illness of the Empress Dowager, the day when she will return to the palace is uncertain.

Lan Qi tried her best to take care of the old man. When the empress dowager was lazy and impatient for a while after her fever subsided, she laughed and had fun every day and took care of the meals. The maids took turns several times, but she never left her.Xuan Ye was able to handle the affairs of the court with peace of mind, and only came to take care of his grandmother when he was free, and waited on the soup and medicine. The few people who were quiet and quiet, if they were not in the emperor's house, it was a family happiness. The Empress Dowager was full of comfort. Enough.

This day Xuan Ye and the ministers broke up and came to see his grandmother having dinner. The Empress Dowager led Yin Qi and Yin Zuo were also here, and just as they were saying that it was going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Tong Guifei from the palace sent someone to greet her, Sheng Jia and the Empress Dowager. When will the Empress Dowager return to the palace?

"It's very quiet here. Although the illness is cured, the body is still lazy. I don't want to go back for a while. When I return to the palace, there are many people coming to celebrate the festival. It's very annoying." The Empress Dowager smiled and said coquettishly with her grandson, "Let me live here for a while, and I will work hard on your ministers, running around every day."

"What can they work hard for? Naturally, the health of the imperial grandmother is important, and the grandson will stay with you for a while." Xuan Ye agreed, but also said, "It is very good to escape the summer heat here, but it is not suitable for winter. Before winter, the grandson still has to serve When you go back to the Forbidden City, you can no longer hang around at that time."

Lan Qi couldn't help saying: "What did the emperor say that the empress dowager is not leaving?" Everyone laughed, and the queen mother said: "Our emperor has started to treat grandma like an old child."

Xuan Ye looked at Lan Qi proudly, then bullied her and said, "What do you know?"

Lan Qi ignored him, and sat beside the old man rubbing her waist, but the empress dowager said: "The empress dowager should go back to the palace first, there must be an elder in the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you take Yinqi back first, Save them all stretching their necks to think about this place.” He said even more unhappy, “When I was sick, I didn’t see anyone coming to take care of me. I’m looking forward to my return after the holidays. Is it because I’m looking forward to the emperor? Don’t say I’m partial to Lan Qi, who has come to serve me like her?"

Seeing Lan Qi blushing, Xuan Ye laughed in his heart that she would still be shy when receiving compliments all these years, but she was not at all shy when she acted coquettishly and lost her temper. Not to mention that no one can come if she is around, even if they do come, there are a few who can take care of the elderly without leaving their clothes. They are all spoiled and used to serving the sick. Don't come at all, and send someone to greet you perfunctorily, who cares.

The emperor was about to go back after sitting for a short time. As soon as he left, the queen mother said: "People from the House of Internal Affairs came the day before yesterday and asked the concubines about the next spring draft. Looking at the emperor, he doesn't seem to care much, just now he wanted to mention it, but he didn't say it when he thought it was inappropriate."

Lan Qi has also heard the news these days, next year's Eight Banners draft will have a newcomer to enter the palace, and the story of Concubine Tong's sister has also been reported, but as the queen mother said, the emperor has nothing to say here, and Lan Qi dare not mention it. Talk to Huanchun in private, if the Queen Mother hadn't mentioned it now, she would not have said it to the third person.

The Empress Dowager said: "There are always rules and regulations, and they understand what to do."

Lan Qi felt that she was not suitable to be by the side at the moment, so she got up and made an excuse to leave, but the Empress Dowager asked her: "Listen too, in the next ten or twenty years, there will be drafts in the palace, you should also know How to do it."

The Empress Dowager laughed: "The Empress Dowager doesn't feel sorry for Lan Qi anymore, what do you tell her to think when a newcomer arrives?"

Lan Qi bowed her head and said nothing, but the Empress Dowager laughed: "What should come will always come, and she can't be young forever."

"At the end of the year, the Sixth Palace will be sealed off. You will be even more honorable in the future. Newcomers will look up to you. No matter how the emperor treats them, you must let go of it. How can a few newcomers be able to care about you for so many years? Comparable." The queen mother said with a smile, "I don't have any skills, but I have seen a lot and understood."

The Empress Dowager liked these words very much, she was always worried that her daughter-in-law would not be able to control the huge palace in the future, seeing that she has made more and more progress recently, although it was really late, it was still a good thing, so she kept silent and let The queen mother said a few more words to Lan Qi, and Lan Qi also had a smile on her face, and responded docilely: "The concubine will treat the new sister well."

The queen mother said happily: "You are the most generous-minded. You shouldn't have said these things to you, but you are the most favored. If there is any new climate in the future, people will point to you for jokes. Those who are willing to see people's jokes must be The most unhappy and the most failed, if you pay attention to it, put yourself with them, they are not worthy, and you can't do it either."

Lan Qi agreed one by one, and her mood gradually improved, but she remembered something, because it had been hanging in her heart for a long time, and now that she had said it, she simply strengthened her courage and asked: "The empress dowager forgives the sin, and the concubine has always wanted to ask. At the end of the year, the big seal, The position of fourth concubine can have the position of sister Rong, do you know what the emperor wants?"

"Of course there is her." The Empress Dowager said, "After returning to the palace, you can tell Concubine Rong to reassure her. As for the new child of Tong's family in the coming year, her elder sister will be honorable. She is still young and will be placed in the concubine's place for the time being. Just fine."

Lan Qi was at ease in her heart, and always remembered the pious joy of sister Duanbi that day. Concubine Duan wholeheartedly hoped for Concubine Rong's well-being. If Concubine Rong was squeezed out for the sake of little Tong Jia, no one would be happy, so she She would rather not be a concubine herself.

But she has selfishness. She used to think that as long as she could be with Xuanye, she would be fine, but now that she has a child, seeing Yinzhen's adoptive mother grow from a noble concubine to an imperial concubine, there can't be too much difference between her brothers. For Yinzuo, she should have her own Noble, naturally, how could Concubine Rong not fight for the third elder brother, a woman may have her own ideas, but being a mother is the same.

So before the [-]th day of August, the Empress Dowager returned to the palace first, while the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the concubine remained in Yingtai. When the old man was in good health, there were still so many things for Lan Qi to worry about, so she would have more time to accompany her Xuanye, and so many palace maids and eunuchs here are watching, so they have to send word back to the palace. The women in the palace know that the emperor and De concubine get along day and night in Yingtai, and they are almost crazy with jealousy. I don't get tired of seeing it every day.

But this kind of day has passed for another half a month. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Forbidden City is lively, but the emperor is not here, the women have no fun. Seeing the Double Ninth Festival, Concubine Hui saw that Concubine Yi had worn out her patience and looked haggard , so he took the initiative to come to Chengqian Palace, and asked the noble concubine to send someone to ask how the Empress Dowager celebrated the Double Ninth Festival. Naturally, the meaning in the words was that it was time to urge the holy car to come back.

Not to mention Concubine Hui came to remind, Concubine Tong herself couldn't stand it anymore, there were more and more ugly words in the palace, she didn't care that Concubine De was pointed at behind her back, but she would take her to say it every time, she was patient enough Fortunately, there were times when I couldn't hold back my anger, so I took advantage of Concubine Hui and sent someone to ask Ann again, but the person who came back only said: "Long Live Lord said, we can discuss it again."

The two words "re-discussion" chilled the hearts of all the concubines, who were talking about everything, saying that they would spend the winter in Yingtai, and that the Lord Long Live would not be afraid of the freezing cold there?Even Concubine Wen in Xianfu Palace couldn't help it. When the word "re-discussion" came back, she secretly felt sad several times at night. He looked like he couldn't cheer up, and felt that everything was hopeless, and he didn't even care about taking care of the eighth elder brother. Before the Double Ninth Festival, the child became seriously ill.

The news of the eighth elder brother's illness will naturally spread to Yingtai, but the sixth elder brother here is not feeling well. The day before yesterday, the eldest elder brother and the prince came to Yingtai to pay their respects, and played with the younger brother for a long time. Soon after the elder brothers left, Yinzuo vomited and diarrhea , The imperial doctor said that he caught cold after eating in the wind, and it took two or three days for him to recover.

It was very hard for Lan Qi to take care of her son day and night. It was not until the day of the Double Ninth Festival that she saw the little guy alive and kicking again. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she only said that she would go to the Empress Dowager to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival in a while, but she felt so tired After she fell asleep, Huanchun and the others were reluctant to wake her up, and came to ask for leave without authorization. The Empress Dowager also asked them to take good care of her, saying that it doesn't matter if it's not a holiday.

Prince Yu and Prince Gong all brought Fujin here. After all, it was the Double Ninth Festival, and they had to come to the Empress Dowager to pay their respects. They pulled two carts with various gifts, and their grandchildren and grandchildren laughed and laughed all afternoon. Before they left, Fuquan smiled and said to Xuanye: "A few days ago, I took a few brothers-in-law to go hunting, hunted a few deer, and took the antler to the imperial hospital for them to prepare for the imperial grandmother's body, and let it be restrained again." The deer blood wine was brought along with the gift, the emperor will remember to ask Eunuch Li for it."

Xuan Ye laughed back at his elder brother: "The other day I heard from the emperor's grandmother that you have taken a few new beauties, and the house is full of quarrels. You can take this wine back and drink it yourself. There are so many tigresses in the house, it's enough for you."

Fuquan smiled naively: "It is hardest to bear the grace of a beauty. Hard work is natural, but the beauty is beautiful, and I am happy."

No matter whether they are monarchs or ministers, there is of course a private conversation among their brothers, and it is very pleasant to chat and laugh, but when the brothers leave, Xuan Ye is busy with the matter at hand, and has long forgotten the deer blood wine, and the congratulatory gift from Fuquan Changning , he asked Mr. Li to send it to Lan Qi to see, and let her keep the ones he liked, and he didn't care about the others.

Afterwards, two groups of ministers came and said that Prince An had gone deep into the hinterland of the Wu army and that he was just around the corner to take Wu Shifan's head. He couldn't help being overjoyed and ran to report the good news to the Empress Dowager. After saying a few words, the old man reminded him: " Go and see Lan Qi, she doesn't seem very well."

The emperor just remembered that today when Prince Fujin came, she was not here to support her. She thought she was still taking care of Yinzuo, but she didn't know that she was not feeling well. Later, he told Eunuch Li to bring people to Lan Qi's residence if he saw no outsiders again.

Before entering the door, the nurse came out holding Yinzuo, the nurse was a little embarrassed, Yinzuo was chattering happily, Xuan Ye teased a few words and let the nurse take him away, but when he was about to enter the door, he saw that Huanchun was headless. He ran out in a hurry, his face was flushed, and he was as uncomfortable as the wet nurse. Then Xuan Ye became suspicious, and asked a little worried: "What's wrong?"

"Emperor, Your Majesty..." Huan Chun blushed so much that his neck was dyed, he faltered and said the reason, Xuan Ye's eyes widened when he heard it, and he ran in with a smile, and he saw someone curled up in the gauze tent.

Just now, Huan Chun said that Lan Qi woke up alone in the evening, feeling very cold and uncomfortable, Huan Chun and the others were packing things outside and didn't hear anything, but her stupid master saw a jar of wine on the table and poured it for himself She drank two big cups, and she was about to drink them when Huanchun came in.

When she was stopped and asked how to drink this wine, she stupidly asked why the plum wine was so smelly. She just thought that after Yin Zuo had a stomachache a few days ago, the imperial doctor sent two jars of plum wine to let the concubine and the maids drink warm Stomach disease prevention, thirsty and cold body, actually poured down two full cups.But how did she know that it was deer blood wine sent by Prince Yu.

After two glasses of stag blood wine, Lan Qi's body reacted in a short time, her whole body felt like it was on fire, Huan Chun knew what to do, of course, but how could they dare to invite the emperor? Brother Lai was also taken aback, but she had experienced human affairs, and after a few instructions, she hugged Brother Six and wanted to leave, but she ran into the emperor when she went out, and Huanchun was so worn out that she wanted to ask the wet nurse for help. I bumped into Shengjia.

The door of the dormitory was tightly closed, Xuan Ye took off his coat casually, and lifted the gauze curtain, the person on the bed curled up uncomfortable, felt someone coming in, trembled in a panic, but when he opened his eyes and saw that it was Xuan Ye, the panic in his eyes suddenly Dissipated, tenderness and sweetness surged out, the soft body stretched out, and it became greasy without knowing it.

When Xuan Ye touched her body, he was really hot all over. The delicate skin seemed to have been roasted on the fire, and his heart felt warm when touched by the tentacles. The tormented body could no longer hold back, and she hugged him tearfully, but Xuan Ye pretended to be calm, and asked her: "What's the matter? I want to talk to you properly."
