Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Having lost another child who never saw the light of day, Xuan Ye didn't quite understand what kind of mood he was in. The pain of losing a child had already formed a layer of scab in his heart, and the pain would not peel off easily. He cherished every one of them, but he couldn't bear the pain he had never seen before.But he had to look sad, but compared to being sad, he was more worried about two things at the moment. He was worried that Lan Qi's child would not be kept, and he was worried that if he kept her child, what kind of imbalance would be in Concubine Wen's heart. Will it happen again.

The mournful crying inside gradually stopped, probably because the woman who had lost her child fell asleep, and soon the imperial physicians came back and forth, all of them panicked, for fear that the emperor would take the blame, but fortunately, the emperor was very calm, and just told them: "Be good!" Take care of the noble concubine's body." He also told Eunuch Liang, "After three days, please invite the noble concubine's mother to accompany you in the palace. You can stay for two days, no problem."

Eunuch Liang agreed, but asked the emperor, "Where is Long Live Lord now?"

Xuan Ye really thought about it, clenched his fist slightly under the fluttering cuffs of his cuffs, and said, "Show the Yonghe Palace."

The crowd hurriedly gathered the emperor to leave Xianfu Palace, and hurried to the residence of Concubine De, while Eunuch Liang rushed to the Palace of Compassion and Ningshou to report the loss of Concubine Wen Gui, the other emperors ignored them.On the other side, Eunuch Li was about to go out to look for the emperor. When he saw the holy driver coming, he greeted him by the door, and when he got off the sedan chair, he waited up and said, "Don't worry, Lord Concubine De. Just in case something happens, I want the empress to lie down and not move around, Huanchun and the others take turns to serve her."

Xuanye listened with his heart sinking into his stomach, striding into the bedroom, saw Yinzuo lying on the bedside, rubbing against his mother's arm and kissing, babbling and not knowing what to say, when Lan Qi saw him, her face was full of tenderness , Xiao Yinzuo saw Huang Ama, and rushed forward to hug her coquettishly, Lan Qi smiled and said: "Don't blame the emperor, Yinzuo always doesn't know that he should salute first when he sees Ama, and the concubine has no time to teach him right now."

Xuan Ye laughed: "I blame you for what you are doing. You are not smart in the first place, and if you bother to teach your son, you will be even more stupid and stupid."

When Lan Qi heard this, she glared angrily at the emperor and stopped talking, but Xuan Ye coaxed her son by herself, and let the nurse come and take him away. Huan Chun led the others to retreat, and after closing the palace door, Xuan Ye sat down. Going to Lan Qi's side, looked at her carefully, stretched out his hands to cup his face and said: "Let's talk about joking and make each other happy, Lan Qi, you frightened me. I shouldn't try my best, you don't want to go to the banquet." That's fine, now the emperor's grandmother is not happy about anything, she even made a false alarm, and..."

Lan Qi saw that the emperor's face was slightly gloomy, and asked worriedly: "Did the Empress Dowager get injured?"

Xuan Ye replied: "The emperor's grandmother is very good, and she even enjoyed the banquet with me until the end of the banquet."

Lan Qi's heart skipped a beat, remembering the scene when the fireworks came and fell all over, she asked in a little panic: "Concubine Wen, how is she?"

"Concubine Wen Gui's child is gone." The emperor said helplessly, "I'm not very sad, but I must be sad, but you are obviously well, and there is no time for me to be happy... It's hard to be a human being, but it's too late to be happy." The emperor is even more difficult."

Lan Qi knew what was bothering him, and gently advised him: "Your Majesty, don't think about too many things, just think about how painful it would be for a mother without a child. Don't think about Concubine Wen, don't think about her family members, just pity and sympathize." Wouldn't it be better to be a mother?"

Xuan Ye nodded, took her hand and kissed: "You must be well." He asked if he wanted to lie in this position for the whole night, feeling distressed in every possible way, in front of Lan Qi, Xuan Ye could express his feelings without any trouble And emotions, everything is so real and simple.But every time he set foot in Xianfu Palace, facing Concubine Wen's enthusiasm, he would always think about everything he did, and even thought about every word he said in his heart. Now that he even lost his child, he You have to think about what constitutes "sadness".

The completely different news from Xianfu Palace and Yonghe Palace spread to the Sixth Palace. Many people thought that the transmission of the two sides was wrong. It can be seen that Concubine De is weak and haggard. In contrast, Concubine Wen Gui is not like a sick person at all, but she makes a fuss every day. This is all right now. The weakest person kept the child safely, while the latter survived overnight. I lost the flesh and blood that I had so hard to have.

Concubine Wen didn't know all this until she woke up the next day. When she learned that Concubine De's child was still in her stomach, her eyes stared blankly and sharply at Dong Yun, wishing she could turn into a knife and goug her out. Dong Yun trembled. He explained: "The imperial doctor said that Empress Defei's fetus is six months old and can withstand the fall. Your empress is too young and the fall is heavy, so you can't keep it."

"Nonsense, you nonsense!" Concubine Wen cried loudly, throwing all the things she could throw off the bed, crying heartbreakingly, "Give me back the child, you give me back the child."

When she exhausted her strength and couldn't cry anymore, she lay softly on the pillow, sobbing non-stop, the pillow was all wet, Dong Yun came to persuade her, she asked pantingly: "The emperor didn't come last night?" Do you see me?"

"Long live Lord is here, you are here before you enter the door..." Dong Yun said awkwardly, "The room is not clean, the emperor can no longer enter the door, and ordered the servants to take good care of you, and said that the wife will come into the palace to take care of the empress in the future , and then left."

"Where did you go?" Concubine Wen asked, and then she answered, "It must be the Yonghe Palace." Dong Yun didn't say anything more, seeing her so she knew it was true, and the concubine cried sadly again, which Dong Yun vaguely heard He doesn't care what he says, what he won't come again.

But at this moment, the eighth elder brother's loud cry came without warning. Concubine Wen Gui, who was weak on the bed, shuddered and stood up and asked, "My child? Is it my child? Dongyun, it's my little elder brother." Cried."

Dong Yun hurriedly said: "Ma'am, it's the eighth elder brother who is crying."

Concubine Wen Gui was stunned, then lay down powerlessly, and repeated: "Brother Ba? It's not my child, is it Brother Ba?" And the cries of Brother Ba were endless, and Concubine Wen gradually became bored. Gradually becoming irritable, he finally couldn't bear to point at Dongyun and scold him, asking them not to let the child cry again.

But after that day, even the imperial doctor came to see him several times. The eighth elder brother didn't feel bad. He just cried all day long, during the day and at night. The eighth elder brother woke up crying, and even Dong Yun felt irritated when he heard it, so he came to ask the nurse what was going on, but the nurse tremblingly said that she didn't know, and calmed the child down in front of Dong Yun, but when Dong Yun left , I reached into the swaddling clothes and pinched the little elder brother's ass vigorously.

In the next few days, the Xianfu Palace was in chaos every day, and there was only one place that seemed to be out of the world. No matter how much Concubine Wen cried and tossed, no matter how much the eighth elder brother cried, Jue Chan seemed like an outsider, in his bedroom. The wind chill quietly nourished her, and her wind chill was only contracted that night when she prayed for Rong Ruo's child to have a safe delivery under the moon.

Mrs. Niu Hulu finally entered the palace on this day. It is rare for Xianfu Palace to be clean for a day, but the cries of the eighth elder brother still sounded from time to time, but compared with the previous few days, it was much better. He took the master's medicine, watched the nobleman drink it, and murmured softly: "It's best that madam don't leave, otherwise Concubine Wen makes a fuss a few more times, and this servant feels that Aunt Dongyun is about to fall ill. The cotton-padded jacket is loose, and it seems to be shaking a lot."

Jue Chan turned a deaf ear to it, drank the medicine and handed the bowl to Xiang He, wiped her mouth and lay down again. There was a volume of "Song Xiang Ci" next to her pillow, and she almost tore a few pages in it.

Xianghe couldn't help but said again: "Master, your health is much better, you can go out, why don't you go and see the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother is so pitiful, his voice is hoarse from crying, but he still cries every day , such a small person..."

"Xiang He." Jue Chan interrupted her, Xiang He lowered his head helplessly and said, "Your servant knows, and my servant will not mention the matter of Eighth Brother."

But Jue Chan asked, "Did the emperor punish anyone for the fireworks incident?"

Xianghe sighed, her master didn't even care about her talking about the eighth elder brother, so he replied: "The emperor said that for the sake of the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the children in the womb of the concubine, it is not appropriate to ask crimes and punish them during the New Year's Eve." , forget about it.”

Jue Chan smiled slightly: "That's good, the emperor is very kind after all."

Xiang He smiled: "There is kindness, but for the sake of Concubine De, I can make exceptions for everything. The emperor really likes Concubine De." Looking at her master again, her appearance has gradually improved these days , couldn't help sighing, "Master, you are so beautiful, the emperor should like you very much."

But Jue Chan still couldn't hear, just looked at the book alone, didn't even know when Xianghe would leave, and just said silently in his mouth: "Branches are connected to each other, and marriage is impossible. Peeping at the moon in the sky alone, how many rounds come together."

She suddenly realized one day that a strange woman like Shen Wan could follow Rong Ruo far away from her hometown, settle down in the capital, a world full of snobbery and power, and live in a private house with no name or title. First, where is the worry and the resentment?But every word of mourning and melancholy in her poems may not be about herself, but about Rong Ruo?Even if he tolerated him, he never forgot his feelings after all, even if the beautiful woman was by his side, he still pretended to be himself in his heart.

All of this came from Jue Chan's pondering and epiphany. She couldn't know whether it was true or not, but she used this comfort to no longer feel lifeless. Even if she was trapped in this deep palace, her heart was still free and still belonged to her completely. .

After Xianfu Palace was cleaned up for two days, Mrs. Niu Hulu finally left because she could not live in the palace for a long time, but after Mrs. left, Concubine Wen Gui, who had lost her support, became emotionally unstable again, and the maids and eunuchs cheered up. Waiting on her, but the eighth elder brother, who had only recovered for two days, began to cry non-stop again.The poor little child was crying hoarsely, from sharp at first to dry hoarse now, until bursts of bloody pain could be heard in one's throat.

On this day, the imperial physician finally said that Mrs. Jue Chan recovered from her illness, and that her concubine's illnesses were recorded in the register, and Mrs. Jue Chan did not have to pretend to be ill to linger on the sick bed. Now that she recovered, she had to visit Concubine Wen. Xiang He advised her to wait for a few days It doesn't matter, but Jue Chan said: "I will see her sooner or later. If I see her today, if I don't want to see me again, I will be free."

So neatly dressed, he walked all the way to Concubine Wen's bedroom, and the eighth elder brother started crying on the way. The voice sounded like his throat was being torn apart. Come to Concubine Wen.

And Concubine Wen Guifei just lost her temper because the medicine was too bitter, and suddenly heard crying again, and she was throwing a pillow on the bed angrily. Get up, go in to the window, bow your knees and salute: "My concubine pays her respects."

Concubine Wen Gui looked at her in a daze, and asked as if waking up suddenly: "Where have you been these days, why haven't I seen you?"

Jue Chan got up and said: "The concubine was caught in the cold and stayed in the house all the time. I couldn't come to pay my respects to the empress. I also ask the empress to forgive me."

"Are you sick?" Concubine Wen Gui looked at her strangely, she didn't know what was going on in her heart, suddenly the eighth elder brother's cry came again, which made her tremble all over, her eyes gradually became straighter and her hands became tighter Grab the mattress.

At this moment, after the emperor left the court, he was checking with several ministers of the Ministry of Industry on the matter of repairing the roof leak in the Yinghua Hall. The portraits of the ancestors are enshrined here, and the emperor must pay attention to it. He came to check the project in person. On the way, I met a little eunuch rushing over, and the accompanying Eunuch Li frowned after hearing a few words and said, "Your Majesty, there is something troublesome in Xianfu Palace, just ahead, do you want to go and take a look?" ?”

Xuanye was accompanied by Nalan Rongruo, and he also came to see the project of the Yinghua Palace together. Afterwards, the two of them had to go back to the study of Qianqing Palace to discuss the matter of visiting the tomb in the east. The imperial concubine plotted to hate Lan Qi because she neglected her, since she was on the way at this moment, even if she was unwilling, she still passed.

But the emperor and his entourage came closer and heard the noise from the Xianfu Palace. Xuan Ye only knew that Concubine Wen Gui was losing her temper and crying again. After entering the gate of Xianfu Palace, I saw the disheveled Concubine Wen throwing all kinds of things on her body, and then the wet nurse was pushed out with the baby in her arms. You killed my child, get out..."

The child in the Xianfu Palace is the eighth prince, and the eighth prince's biological mother is the nobleman Jue Chan, so there is no need to go closer and look carefully, the emperor and his party, together with Nalan Rongruo, already know who the concubine who was pushed to the ground and humiliated was. Rong Ruo was full of blood, clenched his fists and endured, followed behind the emperor with his head bowed.

But Xuan Ye stopped suddenly, and said to Eunuch Li in a cold voice: "I don't have to go, you go to ask what's the matter, come back and report." After the emperor finished speaking, he left without looking back. Lan Rongruo followed closely, but couldn't help turning her head, just seeing her cousin looking here, the two of them glanced at each other hastily from a distance.
