Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Shen Wan." Jue Chan repeated the name, the name of a Han woman, Rong Ruo loves the rhythm of Han poetry, a Han woman who understands poetry, no wonder he likes it.

"It's this Shen Wan." Concubine Hui sighed, "I've always wondered why you were upset, but when the news about Rong Ruo spread, I thought you must have heard a few words, yes, because of this woman, he was almost killed. Mingzhu was expelled from the house. She was raised in a foreign house privately. She was not only a Han woman, but also a prostitute. How could you let Mingzhu tolerate it? There was a lot of trouble before, and Mrs. Mingzhu came to me to cry twice. I didn’t dare to tell You, I'm afraid you will be sad. But you still know, did you hear the rumors?"

Jue Chan nodded in a trance, she no longer cares whether or not it was Concubine Wen who revealed it, it doesn't matter to her, she has been thinking about what kind of woman Rong Ruo fell in love with now, after listening to Concubine Hui's description , Seeing that her poems were appreciated and cataloged by literati and refined scholars, he really likes people who are both talented and beautiful.

"Clouds are against rain, snow is against wind, and evening photos are against clear sky. When you come back, you go to swallows..." The sound of reading aloud in the past is still in my ears, and my young self followed Rong Ruo to recite "The Enlightenment of the Rhythm", and Rong Ruo said he could memorize it These can be used to recite poems, Rong Ruo said that he likes poetry and songs, just as he likes her.

But now, he has another woman he likes, who can recite poems and play the piano, and is even more beautiful in the world.

"My dear sister, why are you so thin? You haven't seen such thinness before you became pregnant. Concubine Wen abused you?" Concubine Hui asked, reaching out to touch Jue Chan's bun, but Jue Chan suddenly went away. Stepping back, he said with a dazed expression, "The concubine is fine, thank you for your concern."

At the same time, he pushed the booklet in front of Concubine Hui, pretending to be calm and said: "The concubine doesn't like these things anymore."

Concubine Hui didn't force herself, picked it up and flipped through it casually, and said with a smile: "There are not many concubines in the palace who love to read, De concubine is one, but she is not elegant, I just see it to make the emperor happy. "As he said, he raised his eyes and glanced at Jue Chan, "Ke Debi is becoming more and more powerful now, which is really annoying. She is pregnant with her third child. If she passes me in the future, our elder brother will be compared. Ming Zhu will definitely be excluded in the court, and if he loses power, Rong Ruo will definitely have a hard time."

Jue Chan's eyes turned coldly, but he didn't speak.

Concubine Hui rested her chin on one hand and said with a smile: "Sister, you are the smartest person in this palace, can you help Concubine Hui and me?"

Jue Chan shook his head: "The concubine has been ill for a long time and looks haggard, so there is no one who is smart or not."

The book "All Fragrances" was lying on the table, Concubine Hui turned over the corners again, her slender and bright red nails scratched Shen Wan's name, Concubine Hui smiled coldly: "Mingzhu can't tolerate this woman, you said Shen Wanruo What will happen to Rong Ruo? If he loses you and Lu Shi, if he loses another one, his heart will be completely broken, right? "

"Miss?"

"If you don't help me, I can only prevent Rong Ruo from doing such a ridiculous thing. The Mingzhu Mansion will be less troublesome, and my elder brother will have more support." Concubine Hui seemed aggrieved, sharply But the nails scratched the paper, and Shen Wan's name was poked to pieces, but she smiled faintly, "It's just a prostitute, it's not a pity to die, just let this infatuated person be pitiful, when Lu Shi died he was seriously ill, this Shen Wan Wan is leaving again, as an aunt, I am really worried about him..."

"Your Majesty, if he really loves Shen Wan, he will go crazy, Your Majesty!" Jue Chan's ashesy face finally turned red, as if he was too excited, and even grabbed Concubine Hui's wrist, the slender The sight of the hand without beauty was shocking, Concubine Hui decided to push her away, and said sternly, "I don't have the patience to beg you again and again and be rejected by you again and again, you threaten me with death, I am really I'm afraid, but Shen Wan doesn't care, a prostitute, and a prostitute who snatches your sweetheart away, without her, you should be happy."

Tears filled Jue Chan's eyes: "But he is Rong Ruo's favorite woman."

"You are so generous." Concubine Hui sneered, but she was very happy in her heart. She guessed right, Jue Chan, an infatuated woman, even if she was hurt by love and lingering on the sick bed, she would sincerely hope that the man she loved would live a happy life. Well, if Rong Ruo wants to live well now, that Shen Wan must live well.

And she won't tell Jue Chan that it was the emperor who came forward to settle the conflict between the two families, it was the emperor who came forward to persuade Mingzhu, and it was the emperor who came forward to let Shen Wan continue to live in the outer house, so Mingzhu will not do anything to Shen Wan, Concubine Hui He didn't really have the ability to do anything to that woman, but with just one word, he could scare Jue Chan, an infatuated and silly girl.

"Your Majesty, let me think..."

"Last time you said you had to think about it, but then you ignored me again." Concubine Hui sneered, "But I still want you to think about it, but what you want to think about is not whether to answer me, but to think about it, how can you let me go?" Concubine Yi got the favor, you are so smart, so you can guess people's hearts, you must understand how to make the emperor happy after serving the emperor for a long time last year. Even if you don't understand, think about it, tomorrow I will serve tea in Changchun Palace, You come."

"The concubine doesn't want to go out." Jue Chan avoided Concubine Hui's gaze, but Concubine Hui really didn't let go this time, and said tightly, "Don't want to go out? Then Shen Wan shouldn't go out alive in the future... "

Jue Chan was enraged: "Ma'am, are you threatening me?"

"Otherwise?" Concubine Hui threw "The Ci of All Fragrances" on Jue Chan, and said coldly, "My patience, my smiling face, and my kind words have long been polished by you. year?"

After saying these words, Concubine Hui turned around and left. The sound of footsteps and voices gradually quieted down outside. When Xianghe ran in to see the master, she saw her crying silently, and said with concern: "Concubine Hui Is your empress bullying you again? Master, let’s ask Empress Wen to make the decision, you are already in Xianfu Palace, why should you call Empress Hui to bully you?"

A light flashed in Jue Chan's eyes, he shook his head, pushed Xianghe away, picked up the "All Fragrances" from the ground, stared blankly for a while, and said to himself: "I can What I can do for him is really limited, let alone harm him.”

Xianghe was confused when she heard this, how could she know whether he was a man or a woman, concubine Hui or concubine Wen, but she pityed her master, she couldn't live a good life, Xia Qiu has been getting haggard, if this continues, her life will be ruined If he couldn't keep it anymore, he begged her again: "Miss Concubine Wen is kind, you'd better talk to Concubine Wen, don't let Concubine Hui bother you."

On this side, Concubine Wen came out of Ningshou Palace with her eighth elder brother in her arms. Recently, she took care of the queen mother more attentively than before, because Mrs. Jue Chan taught her that the emperor would like people with filial piety. Taking care of the Empress Dowager without complaint, she has the reputation of being a virtuous person that is impeccable and even praised by the courtiers.The Emperor respects the Empress Dowager just as much, she can't get in the Compassion Ning Palace now, Ningshou Palace has the old love of Empress Niu Hulu back then, she can't let it go easily.

Now coming all the way from Ningshou Palace, when she walked far away from Yonghe Palace, she let the sedan chair stop for a while, Dong Yun leaned over and said: "Is the master going to visit Empress Debi? Pregnant."

Concubine Wen shook her head and let the sedan chair go again, Dong Yun only heard her say something like "She doesn't like to see me." Dong Yun didn't dare to think too much, and the group left in a hurry.

The Yonghe Palace was very lively at the moment, Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan all came to congratulate her, and the big and small children were making a fuss in the room, Lan Qi didn't bother, soon after Huan Chun said that she had made a snack and invited the princesses and brothers When they went to eat, the children broke up. Concubine Rong came over to bring Lan Qi the fetal medicine, watched her drink it with a frown, and said with a smile: "You are really amazing. I used to be sick and insisted on not taking medicine. I used to be sick. Not as good as you."

Lan Qi smiled softly: "I am willing to suffer any hardship for the sake of the child, and it is only for the child."

Concubine Duan said: "Who doesn't know that you have worked so hard to serve the two palaces. The Empress Dowager was ill in July. We heard that you didn't touch the bed for a few days. We all sighed. After all these years, who is it?" I have never served the Empress Dowager like this before."

"When Empress Niu Hulu died, she was also served by her younger sister. There is no one who is more caring than her in this palace." Concubine Rong praised, but secretly lamented that she had neglected what Lan Qi had done for the sake of the sixth palace. No matter how well she manages the six palaces, it is not as good as Lan Qi's filial piety in front of the empress dowager.Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that Queen Niu Hulu couldn't get the favor of her superiors despite all her efforts. This is probably the reason, and she unintentionally walked on the old path of Queen Niu Hulu. Recently, she didn't even go to Ningshou Palace much , Firstly, the fact that Liugong is trivial is complicated, and secondly, I am also indifferent.

"I'm just good at serving people. What are my strengths?" Lan Qi was meek and looked at Concubine Rong again. She remembered what the Empress Dowager told her to convey, but it was so strange to mention it suddenly without thinking, so she decided to find Opportunity to talk, or talk directly to Concubine Rong in private.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Bugui smiled and said: "Long Live God seals the Six Palaces in the twelfth lunar month. I talked to Sister Dai the day before yesterday and said that she should also be a nobleman. She foolishly said no, said she dared not do it." I am on an equal footing, my sisters say she is not stupid, don't you think about it for Brother Seven, mother is more valuable than mother, isn't that the truth?"

Dai Changzai was sitting on the side, with a smile on his face. He had been raised in Zhongcui Palace for the past two years, and he became more and more beautiful, but he was very quiet and low-key. Although he gave birth to a prince, he followed Duan and Rong. She is a person with face, but she is still the same as when she first arrived in Zhongcui Palace, she is cautious and humble, no wonder Duanbi and Bugui people like her.

Concubine Rong also said: "Seventh elder brother has been in elder brother's house. If the emperor doesn't give him to some empress to raise him, won't the child have to count on you as his own mother? Don't be stupid, if the emperor gives you favor Mr. Feng, please accept your kindness, and let you decide what you want or not?"

Lan Qi took this opportunity to laugh at the side: "Later, sister Dai was named a nobleman, and my sister was named Concubine Rong, but I have a big belly here, so I can't drink. Remember to save the wedding wine for me, and wait until I give birth. drink."

Everyone suddenly fell silent, all looked at Lan Qi, and Concubine Rong smiled awkwardly: "Which one has the final say on the matter of Concubine Feng, don't make me happy if you turn around and fail, I will ask you to cry. "

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Which one is in charge, of course the Empress Dowager is in charge. After Sister Duan and the others returned from Yingtai, I served in front of the Empress Dowager every day. I heard her talk about concubine concubine with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager The Empress Dowager said that Sister Rong, you are naturally the first, in terms of successors, achievements, and qualifications in the palace, if there is no fourth concubine without you, who else is there?"

Concubine Rong was very excited in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She had self-knowledge, and her humble background was a hurdle she couldn't overcome. I was afraid that her superiors would ignore her efforts over the years. , she was compared.Knowing that Lan Qi is not a person who talks nonsense, she can say this without any scruples, it must be a certainty.

"Congratulations, Sister Rong..."

All the sisters were happy and congratulated Concubine Rong one after another. Concubine Rong hurriedly told everyone not to make publicity. After all, the imperial decree had not been promulgated, and it would be a joke or even a disaster for outsiders to hear it. Having said that, everyone asked Lan Qi again: "What about you? Speaking of the favor of children, is there anyone better than you? Now that you are pregnant again, it is really the best time."

Lan Qi just smiled: "How dare you eavesdrop on the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager? When I heard Sister Rong's words, I ran away happily. As for me, it doesn't matter if I'm sealed or not. Get on me."

Everyone hated her for being hypocritical, deliberately showing off the emperor's love for her here, chatting and laughing to pass the afternoon, when Concubine Rong left Yonghe Palace again, her face was full of red and radiant spirits, and after leading a pair of children back, she let Ji Xin slow down. Hurry up to prepare presents, after she becomes a concubine, she has to send them to welcome her, some are busy.

They dispersed, Bu Guiren didn't leave, Duan Jing was pestering her and refused to leave, the mother and daughter slowed down a few steps, Lan Qi simply left her to continue talking, and the two sisters hadn't been alone for a long time, because she was with Duan Concubine Zhong Cuigong's life is going well, Lan Qi is not worried, so it is inevitable that she will care less.

Princess Duanjing talked to Lan Qi coquettishly for a while, after Pan Xia took the princess away, Bugui saw that Lan Qi was about to get up, helped her to sit up, and walked slowly to the window to get some air, the two sisters stood together hand in hand , Bugui said: "In a few days, the fourth elder brother will be three years old. The time is really fast. My Duan Jing will be seven years old."

Lan Qi sighed: "The days are really fast. At this time next year, the baby in my stomach will be born for several months. Sometimes when I wake up, I feel that everything is unreal, and I think it is just a dream."

"Every sentence we said back then has come true. I think you must be in the list, sister Rong Fengfei. The emperor likes you so much." Bu Gui gently patted Lan Qi's hand, "But I still treat you as the old lady." My sister, even if I haven't seen you for a long time, I feel at ease knowing you are well."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Miss Duan also treats Sister Rong in the same way. We are the most fortunate, and probably have sisters who can confide in us. Look at Mistress Hui, seeing her warm here and there for so many years, But for no reason, I feel that she is lonely. Yipin is the most pity, such a good girl, just gone."

Lady Bugui sighed: "At that time they committed their own crimes." Thinking of another incident, he said, "It would be great if you could guard Concubine Hui. After we came back in autumn, someone told Concubine Duan that Concubine Hui often went to Xianfu Palace to look for her in the summer. Jue Chan, we looked at her coldly afterwards, and we heard about it once or twice. She didn't know what to do, she was very generous, and she didn't hide it. Jue Chan is not an easy woman, you have to be careful. "

Lan Qi smiled and said, "What am I careful about?"

Bu Guiren scolded: "You are pretending to be stupid with me, now that you are so nice, isn't Concubine Hui afraid that you will surpass her one day?"
