Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The hall was silent for a while, both Yipin and Huipin seemed to be thinking about Jue Chan's words, but Jue Chan was a little bit relaxed after finishing his work, sitting calmly by the side, and it took a long time to hear Yipin say: "If you say Cha Corruption and bribery in the palace is a taboo, and spending time on the prince is the most unreliable. The emperor attaches great importance to the prince, and the servants in Yuqing Palace serve him. If there is a mistake, everyone will be punished. Let's go Let me step in, in case someone is killed, of course I am not talking about the prince, but the injustice is too great, it is not appropriate."

Jue Chan glanced sideways at Yipin, and thought to herself, if Guo Guiren is sitting here, she must have the guts to do as she says, if their sisters can get along well, why let her give advice, but the sisters don't Harmony, anti-conspiracy with outsiders.

Concubine Hui also said: "It is indeed a good way to make the emperor remember you and me, but the price is too high. If it is not successful, it may not be clear if you get caught up with yourself. The prince can't be touched. Now he is still a child. If he has grown up As an adult, that's another story."

Jue Chan's heart was excited, and when she looked at Concubine Hui carefully, there seemed to be a huge lust hidden in her eyes, because the lust was too strong, she would jump out from time to time, but she also restrained herself, as if she was waiting, just as She said, waiting for the prince's adulthood.

"My sister is bothering you. Please go back and think about it again. Think of some ways not to make a fuss. Let's write down these two things for now. If we really want to do it in the future, we will ask you to discuss it." Concubine Hui said politely, how about Yesterday he was aggressive in Xianfu Palace, and asked Concubine Yi if she had anything else to ask, she said that it is not appropriate to stay too long, and asked the maid to invite Jue Chan back.

Jue Chan walked away, Yi Concubine muttered to herself: "Why did she change her appearance? Did Concubine Wen abuse her? When she was in our Yikun Palace, she was still a beauty like a fairy. It's a pity."

"A woman looks like someone who pleases herself. She doesn't care for favor. What does she want for a pretty face?" Concubine Hui asked quietly, took the tea in front of her to drink again, and said to Concubine Yi with a smile, "What did she say just now? Forget it, we don't have to think about doing these things."

"Forget? Elder sister also thinks it's all wrong?" Yipin didn't understand.

"It doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not. It's my purpose to call her here to sit around like this. No matter what brilliant method she comes up with, I may not be able to adopt it. Why bother?" Concubine Hui sneered, "I'm here I know what the situation is in the eyes of the superiors, and I know best in my heart, and the Changchun Palace is the closest to the Cining Palace, and before Jue Chan returns to the Xianfu Palace, the Empress Dowager will know everything here."

Yipin felt uneasy, looked around, as if she wanted to find a pair of peeking eyes from the corner, and asked in a panic: "Didn't sister distract Baoyun?"

"A Baoyun suppressed me openly, who knows who else is in the dark?" Concubine Hui spoke in a very soft voice, and the sound of the teacup being put down shocked Yi Concubine, she said, "It's just you and me who are so hot After a few times, Jue Chan came again, and the superiors knew what we were planning. Just doing this is enough to attract the attention of the Long Live Lord, just wait for two days, the emperor will definitely come to see you."

Concubine Yi still didn't understand, but Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Maybe the emperor likes Concubine Tong a little bit, after all, she is a cousin who has seen each other often since childhood, and her affection is different from that of you and me. But how could the emperor like Concubine Wen? She is the younger sister of Empress Niu Hulu, and the Niu Hulu clan is what the emperor hates the most, and Concubine Wen was not born to be an all-powerful woman, nor is she full of poems and books, what does the emperor like about her?"

"What does sister mean?" Yipin felt concerned, and she seemed to understand.

Concubine Hui approached her and said coldly: "If you insist on pursuing some affection with the emperor, then I can't help you, but I know the emperor well, for the peace of the harem, for the sake of the peace of the harem, and for the sake of not being criticized for the person he loves, he will Do something to balance everything in the sixth house. Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen have been doing this all these years, and it must be the same for you. If you want to be sad about this, then you don’t need to ask for any favors and attention. In short, Long Live Lord goes to Yikun Palace , you just serve with all your heart, so that he won't hate you when he sees you. If the Long Live Lord doesn't come, you will have to wait. It's just that the wait is so urgent now. Let's do a little trick to let the emperor know that he is negligent. .”

Yi Pin's body trembled slightly, and her voice was like a mosquito moaning: "Sister, are you plotting against the Emperor?"

"Otherwise? Silly sister, it's useless to plot against any woman in this palace, as it will make you grow old and lose grace. If you calculate this and then calculate newcomers, will you be tired all your life?" Concubine Hui's face was full of cunning wisdom, and there was still a lot of love in this palace. Cold-blooded and ruthless tainted by the ups and downs of the deep palace, he snorted and laughed, "The important thing is how to grasp the emperor. Now you are still young and can give birth and support. What about ten years later? Are you still planning to compete with the young ones? That one?" It's time to find a future for the children. Even if you have been in the palace for a few years, you are still tender, let's take your time, sisters."

Yi Pin was stunned for a long time before she said sadly and stupidly: "According to sister, the emperor really has no affection for me at all?"

Concubine Hui sighed, annoyed that she still couldn't see clearly, but it was inconvenient to speak too loudly, so she only comforted her: "Maybe, the emperor treats you well, sister doesn't mean that the Lord Long Live is ruthless to you, but that if you blindly If you pursue affection, there will be no results, and I can't help you, don't you understand?"

"I understand." Yi Bin smiled wryly, "Actually, I have long understood in my heart that being the person next to him, I know the emotions of the person sleeping next to him best. What is it like when my sister is in the driver's seat?"

This question stopped Concubine Hui, she only remembered the good old days when she was Huigui, when Yingying and Yanyan laughed and laughed, she was also happy, but how many years have passed, her body is still young , has not been touched for a long time.

"When the emperor came, he seldom talked to me. When he first entered the palace, he was quite new. He often asked me about my experience outside the palace. Later, he gradually talked less and less. Every time we met, the polite words were the same. I can recite it. It’s the things on the bed..." When it came to the secret words on the bed, Yipin blushed, shook her head and said, "I don't want to, I'll listen to my sister, go back and wait for two days, if the emperor doesn't come , let’s discuss it again.”

"That's fine." Concubine Hui didn't stay with any guests, and seeing Concubine Yi leave in a state of dismay, she sneered in her heart and couldn't explain it clearly. When Concubine Yi got up to take a rest, she saw her confidant maid come in happily and said, " The news came from earlier that Long Live Lord led the elder brother and the prince to shoot arrows together with several children from the family. Our elder brother won the first place, and the prince was jumped by several children from the family. I heard that the emperor's face is very uncomfortable It's pretty."

Concubine Hui was very happy, she chanted Buddha in her heart, and said: "Prepare some Yinti's favorite food and send it to elder brother's place, and tell him not to work too hard on himself."

All along, the crown prince is studious and clever, and suppresses his elder brother everywhere. The elder brother has no talent for studying, and he can't force him to come out, but this child is born strong, and he likes to learn martial arts, riding and archery. His strengths will not be buried by books.The emperor has already planned to go to the Marco Polo Bridge to welcome Prince An, who has pacified the San Francisco, to return to the court in triumph. It can be seen that the one who can shock the world in the future will still be the leader of the war.It is enough for the imperial court to have a bright pearl to give advice, and his son must become a general and hold the military power.

And this kind of news also spread into the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager was cutting flowers and branches with a pair of small scissors, and she heard Su Mala talking about them one by one, and said with a smile: "Seven or eight-year-old children, you can see Concubine Hui would be foolish if she was complacent about what happened, Xuan Ye must be unhappy because of the prince's poor performance today, how can she be happy because Yin Ti is good? She should keep a low profile."

But Mammy also mentioned that Jue Chan often went to Changchun Palace today, and Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were both present. The Empress Dowager’s subordinates cut off the flowers and branches, and looked at Mammy with a frown: "They nest together, how can we have a baby?" What good thing? That Jue Chan is really annoying, you just send someone to watch, if she dares to make trouble, there is no need to tolerate it."

The nanny responded and asked the maid to bring water to wait for the master to wash his hands. The empress dowager sat back on the kang and remembered something again. Empress Dowager, she is not good at Chinese studies, although the prince's enlightenment is very important, but she doesn't need to bother herself or find someone to teach the fifth elder brother to read and write.

Mammy was puzzled: "I'm afraid the Lord Long Live won't agree."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, and said slowly: "The emperor has more and more heirs, how much can he care about? When he can't take care of it, I should take care of him. Fulin and Xuanye were not bothered when they were young. The biological father loves to see him, but he has become an emperor, so don't those children who are not loved by their father have to be more careful?"

Aunt Su Mala has nothing to say. The Empress Dowager lives in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but the outside world is in her heart every bit. She often laughs at herself that she can't keep up with young people, but she often just says a word , will stop people from asking, leaving people speechless.However, the women in the palace often try to challenge her wisdom. Four or two moves is a very nice sentence, but how many can really do it?

Speaking of heirs, there is only one concubine in the palace who is pregnant now. A few days ago, the empress dowager told her to send someone to take care of everything in the Yonghe Palace. Some women are jealous and hate. Now that there are more princes and princesses in the palace, they are even more She has no scruples, and Lan Qi's pregnancy has been unstable from the very beginning, any mistakes may happen, and no one can take advantage of them.

On the other hand, Xuan Ye led the elder brother and the prince back to the palace, and rewarded the elder brother for his outstanding performance, and he did not hesitate to blame the prince, and punished him to shut up in Yuqing Palace and think about why his riding and shooting were so bad. As a result, the emperor naturally didn't look good to others, and even the elder brother didn't dare to be very happy, so he quietly left after receiving the reward.

Eunuch Li and the others waited outside the study for quite some time before they heard the emperor call for someone, and when they came in, they heard him ask, "Has the imperial physician visited Lan Qi's body today?"

"Look, the empress dowager ordered twice a day, and the imperial physicians took care of her wholeheartedly. Today, it was reported in the newspaper that Empress Depin's health has improved, and this pregnancy should be saved. Just don't go out for three or four months. These few days are the best time to stay in bed." Eunuch Li told his disciples in detail that he had left everything else to his disciples to keep an eye on, and he kept all the movements in the Yonghe Palace in his mind, so that the emperor would ask him anytime, and it was true.

Xuan Ye was in a better mood, put down the pen in his hand, asked if there were any ministers who had received a badge to see him, then changed his clothes and came to the Yonghe Palace. A young eunuch had already come to deliver a message, seeing that there were no guests in the Yonghe Palace, let the people in front of the door Don't disturb Depin, Shengjia will arrive soon.

When Xuanye entered the door, he was hearing Luzhu complaining about Yukui, saying why he had replaced black charcoal, Yukui said angrily: "Master won't let you use red bamboo charcoal, and it's not good for guests to see it. The cost is too extravagant, and outsiders should start talking nonsense again."

Xuan Ye heard it interesting, the two of them suddenly saw the emperor coming, they also hurriedly silenced, while Xuan Ye asked: "Is there not enough charcoal fire in Yonghe Palace?"

Yukui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has always been frugal, and when there is not enough, there is a lot more. The servants think that it is good to let it go. My Majesty is now pregnant, so the charcoal in the house should be used well, and there should be less smoke and fire. But the empress blames the slaves for being too extravagant."

Xuan Ye said with a smile: "You are very powerful, dare to speak ill of her behind the master's back?"

Yukui quickly blamed herself, while Xuanye smiled: "Just use good charcoal. Since you saved it, are you afraid of what others will say? Don't pay attention to her, it's not her who did the work. If she makes things difficult for you, just say it's me. the meaning of."

The people in the talking room had already heard the movement, the thick curtain in front of the door was erected, Lan Qi stood leaning against the door, her face was flushed, she was very happy to see Xuan Ye, she didn't care what they were talking about, she asked with a smile: "Your Majesty Why don't you come in?"

After returning from Yingtai, the two of them hadn't seen each other during Lan Qi's illness. After some calculations, it's been a while. They planned not to see each other in October, but Xuan Ye couldn't hold back after all. Seeing Lan Qi's complexion now Well, I was really relieved, she stepped forward and shook hands, but the cold touch made him displeased, Lan Qi knew that she would be scolded, so she immediately said: "I am writing, my hands are naturally cold."

Xuan Ye came in with her, there was a table of papers on the kang, Huan Chun was about to clean it up, but the emperor picked it up with great interest, but seeing Lan Qi walking back and forth busy, he remembered that Eunuch Li said that the imperial physician asked her to Lying quietly, he stared at her with a tiger face, pointed to the kang to let her rest, and then she climbed up slowly and clumsily, and gently covered her stomach with one hand and said: "It's not that delicate, the emperor should not make a fuss."

But Xuan Ye sat over and said worriedly: "Why are you not delicate? It is dangerous for a woman to give birth anytime and anywhere. I will hang my heart for a year. If you are considerate, just listen to the doctor's words obediently. Huanchun and the others will serve you wholeheartedly, and you don't want to Always bully them, so I can feel at ease."

Lan Qi smiled so much that her eyebrows were crooked, Xuan Ye patted her head lightly and said, "Why are you laughing so foolishly?"

I just heard her say: "The emperor always says these words, people can know what to say after hearing the first word, why don't you take a good look at the emperor, whether you have become fat or thin recently."

Xuan Ye ignored her, and wrote a few words with Lan Qi's pen and ink, she leaned over and asked: "Has the emperor got any good ink recently, should I reward my concubines with a few dollars."

Xuan Ye smiled: "I got a few good dollars, but it would be ruined if I gave it to you. I saved it for Yin Zuo."

At this moment, Huanchun and Ziyu were bringing refreshments, and after listening to Eunuch Li saying that Long Live Lord hadn’t eaten anything all day, they also brought a cup of bird’s nest with candied dates for the master, but Xuanye didn’t want to eat sweet things, so he had to wait for Huanchun to go After getting a bowl of noodles, Lan Qi sat on the side and ate the bird's nest slowly, saying that the queen mother rewarded her with official swallows, and if she didn't eat it, it would be a waste.

Xuan Ye laughed that she was getting more and more stingy now, and Lan Qi said that she should teach by example, so that Yin Zuo would not develop a habit of spending money in the future. These words also make sense, Xuan Ye only advised her not to hold herself back too much.Not long after, Huanchun rushed to bring a bowl of fish soup noodles. The fish soup was stewed for Lan Qi at night. Seeing that the emperor ate deliciously, Lan Qi was greedy after eating sweets, so she asked Huan Chun to get a bowl of soup too. Come and give her a drink.

Xuan Ye was happy to see that she had a good appetite, so he teased her to take a sip from his bowl.Lan Qi excitedly leaned over, but just approaching the mouth of the bowl, she suddenly felt her head was in chaos, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something to Xuan Ye, only to feel that her body was getting heavy and her vision was getting blurred, and then her eyes turned black, and she couldn't see anything knew.

And Xuan Ye was holding the bowl, and was waiting for Lan Qi to come over to feed her soup. He watched her body soften and fell into his arms with a muffled sound. At that moment, his heart seemed to stop beating. Over the past, the fear of the word "lost".

When Huanchun went out to serve a bowl of soup, Yonghe Palace fell into chaos. The little eunuchs rushed to call for the imperial doctor, but they couldn’t scare the empress dowager. Eunuch Li bit the bullet and went to the Compassion Palace to report. The people outside the house only knew The empress concubine fainted, the imperial physicians came one after another, the emperor was pacing back and forth in the main hall, seeing the imperial physicians come back from time to time, all of them were frightened.

Aunt Su Mala came, and left after half an hour after entering the door. She was probably going to report to the Empress Dowager, and everyone in the Yonghe Palace, including the ring spring and green beads, were ordered not to leave. No news came out, and no one knew whether Debi had fallen ill or had eaten something she dared not eat.

When Lan Qi woke up, it was already dark, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xuan Ye sitting opposite, he was looking at Zhezi without distraction, Lan Qi only felt that she had slept, but she was too heavy to sleep, her body was tired, and her head was also tired. She felt tense for a while, but when she calmed down and remembered what happened before "falling asleep", she couldn't help panicking. Did she seem to be falling asleep, fell ill, or was drugged?

When the body moved a little, there was a movement, Xuan Ye heard it, immediately put down the things in his hands and came over, and the palace ladies and eunuchs outside rushed in as soon as the emperor moved, but Xuan Ye waved them out, and looked at Lan Qi alone and asked: " Is there any discomfort? Tell me."

"Headache, heavy body." Lan Qi responded softly, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm thirsty."

Xuan Ye turned around to get the warm water beside him, picked up his limp body, brought it to her mouth with his own hands, and fed her to drink more than half of the glass, the person who drank the water gradually recovered his complexion, and leaned on the pillow to see the emperor come and go Busy, I couldn't help but say, "The emperor let Huanchun do it."

But the emperor said coldly: "Huanchun and the others have all been sent to the Punishment Department."
