Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Sister wants to raise the eighth elder brother?" Concubine Yi frowned slightly, probably because she found it difficult, and said softly, "Even if Concubine Wen doesn't like it, she may not let it go. It is always a son to be raised under her knee, now or in the future. Her kindness and merit."

"That's true, so I can't snatch it from her. I can only wait for her to reject it and give it away." Concubine Hui smiled affectionately at Concubine Yi, "Once Concubine Wen doesn't want Eighth Brother, the imperial concubine will look down on Eighth Brother Among the four concubines, Concubine Rong and Concubine De are too busy to take care of themselves, as long as my younger sister doesn't speak up, this child will naturally come to Changchun Palace."

Concubine Yi hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry about me? I don't care about Jue Chan's son. I still hope that my sister will help me to let the emperor come to Yikun Palace more. I hope that I will have another son to raise."

Concubine Hui smiled wryly: "Yeah, my sister still has something to look forward to when she's young, but I don't have anything to look forward to. The seventh elder brother is congenitally deficient. If I want to raise him, I'm afraid that others will point out that I'm inattentive. The eighth elder brother is the best."

"But it's easy to say, but it's really difficult for Concubine Wen to send the child out by herself. After all, Jue Chan is in Xianfu Palace. If she finds it troublesome and doesn't want to bother, she can just throw it to Jue Chan." Concubine Yi always felt that Not quite right, thinking, "Unless there is something that disgusts or taboos her..."

As he spoke, he looked up at Concubine Hui, saw her smiling confidently and proudly, and said with Concubine Yi's words: "Naturally, there must be great things to accomplish, otherwise, how could Concubine Wen be willing to let go? When the time comes, my sister will help me say a few words, then The two who don't want it won't talk about it, it's our business. Right now, the Xianfu Palace is very lively, and Concubine Wen can do it all by herself. You can just pick anything and make a fuss, and you don't need me Think about it."

Concubine Yi pointed to the outside, and whispered: "Will they go to Compassion Palace to report?"

"So what? It's not like I'm doing something outrageous. Concubine Wen didn't take care of the eighth elder brother wholeheartedly." Concubine Hui was very calm, and even said disdainfully, "Don't say that if the two palaces don't agree, it's really troublesome Concubine Wen. If the child is pushed out, even the emperor may not be able to hold back, this little Niu Hulu family is much more powerful than her sister."

Speaking of older sisters, Concubine Yi couldn't help but think of her ill-fated younger sister, and said that next year's spring draft will be held, and now that the four concubines are complete, the younger sister of the imperial concubine enters the palace.This kind of talk babbled for a long time, and when Concubine Yi said goodbye and was about to leave, she saw Bao Yun standing at the door when she went out, and she didn't know how much she heard what was said inside. No matter how far the concubine can go, she will not come to Changchun Palace for the next two days.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons to welcome the new year. On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, it is always the old custom. All the palaces and courtyards have prepared gift red envelopes, and those who are more attentive have sent gifts everywhere since Laba to ask for favors, and there are big envelopes The joy of the Six Palaces, such as Lan Qi's side, Yonghe Palace is rushing to open another room at the end of the year to pile up the gifts received, and the Huanchunguang gift list has a thick stack.

As the fetus gradually grew, Lan Qi's body also recovered. Concubine Feng was still very weak that day, and after seven or eight days of raising her, she was better than at the beginning of the month. Boldly announce good news but not bad news.

But the emperor had never been here before. Although he sent people to greet him every day, he often went to the Xianfu Palace. Concubine Wen Guifei had a very troubled child. Everyone in the palace knew that even Bu Guiren disdained Concubine Wen for being so hypocritical. .But Lan Qi became more and more calm.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor brought the elder brother and the prince together for dinner at the Palace of Compassion, and when he left, the emperor asked the people from Yuqing Palace and the elder brother to send their two sons back, while he himself sat on the warm table. The sedan chair is going to the Yonghe Palace.The eldest elder brother and the prince waited for their father to leave first before getting into the warm sedan chair respectively. Yinti was shivering from the cold and was about to leave in a hurry, but his nanny stopped him and said softly: "The prince hasn't got on the sedan chair yet, the eldest elder brother hold on."

Yinti was very unconvinced, and looked back at his younger brother angrily, muttering in his mouth: "I am still an elder brother. Is it true that if I become a prince, I am not a younger brother? Then he will not even be a son and grandson, just be his prince. alright."

The attendants on both sides were a little embarrassed, and Yinfeng also heard his brother's words. He came over with a friendly smile, pushed away the nanny, pulled his brother and said, "Brother, you are wearing thin clothes, come on quickly." Let's warm up the sedan chair." He even turned around and scolded the servants, "How do you serve me, don't freeze the big brother."

Yinti felt uncomfortable, after all he was young and didn't know how to be tactful, so he got into the sedan chair angrily, the prince looked at him and smiled, then turned and walked away.

The small conflict in front of the Compassionate Ning Palace was noticed by many caring people, and before the two little masters went back, what should be known and what should not be known, was spread one after another.

Xuanye came to Yonghe Palace here, and the snow fell this afternoon and stopped in the evening. When he got off the sedan chair, he saw that the snow in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace had never moved. The little eunuch who knocked on the door stepped on a series of footprints. Snow has accumulated in front of the hall for two days, just to satisfy Lan Qi's desire to like to step on the snow and watch the snow. Now that I think about it, I am really young and energetic. For the person I like, I still did a lot of foolish things that seem very rash now, but I also thought, since I can win the smile of my beloved, it is very worthwhile after all.

The door of the Yonghe Palace opened quickly. I didn't know that the emperor would come. It seemed that this side had stopped early. The little eunuchs hurriedly swept away the snow in front of the door. Xuanye walked in again. Seeing that Luzhu was going in to report, he stopped her Ask: "Your master is asleep?"

"Your Majesty is talking to Sixth Elder Brother. She is lying down, but she is not asleep yet." Luzhu responded, and came up to take the snow cloak that the emperor had untied, and drew up the thick curtain.

Xuanye felt warm when he entered the room, but the lingering smell of medicine made his heart tense. Thinking about Concubine Wen Guifei's health, mother and child are safe, but she makes troubles in the hospital every day, but Lan Qi is really weak, but she doesn't say a word , Just take care of your own miscarriage.It doesn't matter whether he likes this or not, even if he asks others to watch, no one likes a vexatious person.

Approaching the inner hall, I heard the voice of my son babbling, Yin Zuo was babbling, Er Niang Ama called Deli Suo, the whole sentence was not very complete, but she liked to talk very much, and when she was in a hurry, she twittered and didn't know what she was talking about Lan Qi just imitated him and chattered, and the mother and son spoke to each other, as if arguing, Xuan Ye came in and saw them cuddling on the bed, his son's face was flushed, and he couldn't help laughing at Lan Qi: "You can only bully your son now." It's up to me."

When Lan Qi first saw Xuan Ye coming, and her clothes were disheveled and her hair was disheveled, she couldn't help feeling a little flustered. The little elder brother was very happy to see Ama. Although the father and son rarely saw each other, they were connected by blood. The little guy identified this man as his father. Even if I rarely meet, I still remember it firmly. At the moment, I am arguing with Er Niang, and when I see my father, I open my arms to hug him.

Xuan Ye hugged Yin Zuo in his arms, tickled him to make him laugh, his son was in his arms and acted like a baby, he turned around and saw Lan Qi was busy arranging her hair, she reached out and slapped her with a smile: "What are you busy with, it's not like I haven't seen you before in this way."

But Lan Qi muttered: "The concubine read in the book that Mrs. Li, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, didn't see the emperor before she died, and she didn't want to show the emaciated appearance of her illness to the emperor, and wanted him to always remember her beauty..." But she suddenly snapped With a sound, Xuan Ye slapped Lan Qi gently on the mouth, covering her mouth in fright, and she was silent. Looking at the emperor again, he said with a cold face, "Tongyan Wuji, what you say in the new year is a mess Yes, if you weren't pregnant with a weak child, I would definitely send you to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and let the emperor's grandmother teach you a lesson."

Seeing that his father was angry, Yin Zuo quickly acted like a baby to make his father happy, but he didn't know that he was here to hinder his parents' intimacy, and soon Ama patted his butt and coaxed him to sleep. When the nurse came to take him away, the little elder brother was still very Reluctantly whimpered twice.

After dismissing his son, Xuan Ye called someone to come in to wait for him to change his clothes and wash his hands. After he put on his pajamas, he went straight to sit next to Lan Qi. The eunuchs and maids all retreated. He smiled and said, "I'm used to you serving these things. Their hands and feet are really clumsy."

But the people around him didn't speak, Xuan Ye looked at her sideways, covered his mouth in silence, felt pain and funny in his heart, leaned over to pull her hand away, kissed her lips twice, and asked gently: "Shut up?" Does it hurt? I didn't use any force, I just patted it."

But Lan Qi pushed his hand away, lowered her head and said to herself: "The emperor hasn't come to see him for so long, and he beat and scolded him as soon as he came. It’s just that it’s not as good as a human being, and it deserves to be poured down with bowls of medicine every day.”

Xuan Ye couldn't stop laughing when he heard it, and Lan Qi couldn't help laughing softly, "Is the emperor annoyed when my concubine says such things?"

"Others say it must be annoying to listen to, but everything you say is interesting. I haven't seen you for a long time, and you love to listen to everything you say." Xuan Ye responded with a smile, but soon laughed out loud, "This kind of Do you like to hear the words? It's really uncomfortable for me to say it. "

The person beside her fell into her arms with a contented smile, unceremoniously found a comfortable position to calm down, Xuan Ye gently brushed her full head of hair, his fingers were as cool as silk, he couldn't help laughing and said: " I heard Madam Su Mala say that Polygonum multiflorum is the most moisturizing hair, so that the emperor's grandmother can use less gray hair, your hair is so good, do you use it every day?"

"I don't need it for a long time. Now I'm so tired of taking medicine every day, so why bother?" Lan Qi sat up while speaking, took Xuan Ye's hand to touch her cheek, and asked proudly, "Your Majesty, is it slippery or not?" ?”

Xuan Ye greedily caressed, his skin was tender, tender and slippery. The body in front of him was indeed much better than before. Not only was his face round, but he was also flushed and energetic. This made him let go of the worry that he could smell the smell of medicine just now when he entered the door. .

"The ointment made for the concubine by the mother herself, when the northwest wind blows, Huanchun's face becomes chapped, and the concubine is always as tender as tofu." Lan Qi excitedly leaned over to let Xuan Ye smell it, proud She asked eagerly, "Can the emperor know what it smells like? Mammy used several kinds of flowers to make it."

Skin-to-skin contact, soft body writhing in his arms, Xuan Ye felt a little hot in his heart, he quickly pushed her away gently, frowned and said: "You can't do this, what should I do if you offend me, why don't you go somewhere else in the middle of the night, Don't you want to cry all night?"

Lan Qi suddenly understood what was going on, thinking about the night in Yingtai, her face turned red with embarrassment, just now her coquettish behavior unintentionally teased the emperor, she hurriedly did it well, and soon the two of them They all lay down, Lan Qi nestled in Xuan Ye's arms, and heard him say: "You know a lot about the New Year's festival, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you often. I also planned a Lantern Festival banquet for ministers, admiring lanterns and reciting poems. I couldn't come to Yonghe Palace in those few days, I thought so much that you would definitely come, if you feel uncomfortable and want to see me, let Huanchun come and tell me."

Lan Qi knew it, but she heard Xuan Ye say again: "After the first month, in February, I will celebrate the birthday of the emperor's grandmother. I will go to Jingshan to fast, and then I will take the crown prince to visit the mausoleum eastward, all the way to Shengjing. I'm afraid it will be April or May." Return to Beijing."

"The emperor has been away for so long?" Lan Qi moved her body away and looked at Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Actually, I planned to take you with me on the itinerary I made earlier, but then you became pregnant. After hesitating for a long time, I have to go on this trip, so I can only leave you behind. I will send someone to take good care of you, and the emperor's grandmother and empress are also in the palace. I am very relieved about these, but I am worried about you. I heard the imperial doctor say that you are getting better and better for a few days, but I still feel uneasy."

"The concubine will give birth only in June, and the emperor will return to Beijing in April or May." Lan Qi smiled, "Your Majesty, please go out with peace of mind. The concubine will obediently give birth in the palace. As long as you come back, you will not dislike the concubine's big belly and beautiful appearance." Ugly, just spend more time with your concubines."

"How could I despise you?" Xuan Ye was pleased, although he was worried, but he had to go this way, and asked Lan Qi again and again, "Can I really leave the palace with peace of mind?"

"The concubine is reluctant, so it's best for the emperor not to go out." Lan Qi said frankly what was in her heart, but then stretched out her hand to hold Xuan Ye's face and said proudly, "But in this way, the emperor owes the concubine a favor, and the concubine Talking to you later, my waist straightened."

Seeing her like this, Xuan Ye stopped worrying too much, saying that he had no favors to owe, and Lan Qi refused, the two laughed and entangled, and neither of them mentioned the future parting, and spent the night peacefully and happily. Waiting for the emperor to do it, naturally there is no time to meet each other.

Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the children are the happiest during the Chinese New Year. Wearing the newly made auspicious clothes, the princes and princesses are all as beautiful as fairy boys and girls from the New Year paintings. The imperial grandmother kowtowed to pay New Year's greetings to receive the lucky money, and the children's chatter made the old man a headache, so naturally they left soon.

Most of the other elder brothers and princesses were led by their mothers. When the fourth elder brother went out, the imperial concubine did not follow because there were guests. Now when he returned to Chengqian Palace, the guests had already left. Yinzhen came to look for her with a big red envelope. The mother was showing off, but she saw that her mother was drinking the medicine with her head up. After drinking, her brows were tightly frowned and tears were streaming down. The little guy ran over anxiously and threw himself on the imperial concubine's knees and asked, "Is your mother sick?"
