Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Since you said that you are helping yourself, then we will not owe each other." Concubine Wen Gui stretched out her hand to help the palace flower with her hair in a bun, with a firm expression on her face, "After the emperor returns to Luan, the matter of the draft will be decided. For example, I can't compete with Concubine Yi, and I don't know what the weather is like for the newcomer. I have nothing else to ask, but please don't forget the Xianfu Palace. Now that the eighth elder brother is gone, I really don't know how to do it Let him think of me, but according to what you said, I have made him tired of tossing about such and such things before."

Jue Chan nodded and said: "In the past few months, the empress should take good care of her body first. Whether you want to serve the emperor or have children, everything is empty talk without a good body. You always have someone to pay attention to the affairs of the palace. Tell the concubine some things from time to time, and the concubine is willing to advise you."

Concubine Wen smiled wryly: "You are so smart, but you don't fight for yourself, otherwise, wouldn't the Wu Ya clan not be able to compete with you?"

Jue Chan shook her head and said nothing, but she thought in her heart that it is not difficult to compete for a word, but the difficult thing is that if she does not fight or grab, she still has everything, so how can she be smart and beautiful enough to win against her.

The two were talking, when there was a knocking sound outside, and then there was a loud noise in front of the door. Both of them felt strange, and someone came to report the matter in front of the door. A piece of the stone lion in front of our door was smashed, and the person has already run away."

"Brother, why did you smash them?" Before Concubine Wen could react, Jue Chan said, "Maybe it was because of you that I slapped Concubine Hui."

"She gave birth to a good son, but if it's really good, it will be smashed, why run away, and dare not say a word to me in person?" Wen Guifei sneered, and then ordered Dong Yun, "Tell the superiors, It's not that I'm stingy and insist on haggling with a child, the prince's conduct is related to the country, and it's also my responsibility to discipline the prince."

Dong Yun took the order to leave, and Jue Chan also got up to leave. Concubine Wen Guifei said to her: "I won't let the matter of her instigating the wet nurse to abuse the eighth elder brother come to an end. According to what you said, she will soon abandon this matter. Nurse, I will send someone to watch, this must be known to the higher-ups."

"If the empress pushes the wet nurse out to testify, it may cost a life, and it will not help the empress herself." Jue Chan calmly analyzed for her, "This is a palace scandal, and the emperor will not investigate it with great fanfare. Let the wet nurse have the opportunity to abuse the prince, you are dereliction of duty. If you insist on reporting this matter, it will not be good for the empress herself. The emperor just ignores you. If you are annoyed, it will be you as the adoptive mother It’s because it wasn’t taken care of well.”

Concubine Wen said angrily, "Is that the way to go?"

Jue Chan shook his head: "It's good that you understand what kind of person Concubine Hui is. Compared with Concubine Hui's scheming in the city, concubines look up to her, but they are more courageous, and they are not as taboo as her. Looking at this matter again, if you If you want to blackmail Concubine Hui with this, she will definitely come up with more ruthless things to retaliate against you, the best way to deal with Concubine Hui is to stay away from her, and don't let her see what you are thinking."

Concubine Wen listened very carefully, and while admiring Jue Chan's thoughtfulness, she couldn't help being sad and desolate, as if muttering to herself: "The emperor liked me, why did he suddenly become like this?"

She is obsessed with the authorities, no matter how much other people say, it is useless, and the elder brother came to vent his anger, and he quickly reported it to the Palace of Compassion, but the empress dowager still ignored it. The elder brother has a biological mother, and the imperial concubine should not intervene. The two were sent to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was naturally very angry. Together with the dispute between Concubine Hui and Concubine Wen, it was rare to reprimand Concubine Hui. The elder brother defended his mother several times, but Concubine Hui drank Rebuke.

Concubine Hui wanted to take her son back to teach him a lesson, but the queen mother said that now that elder brother is at elder brother's place, there will naturally be someone there to teach him, so first let the elder brother be sent back, leaving Concubine Hui before she said: "You have always been the most prudent Why are there so many incidents today? There is one more thing that was secretly rumored in the palaces before, but it was not mentioned on the surface, but it doesn't mean that the emperor and the empress dowager didn't know about it. Before New Year's Eve last year, the eldest prince satirized the prince face to face. did you know?"

Concubine Hui's heart tightened, she knew about this matter, but seeing no one in the palace said it, she gradually forgot, but now the Empress Dowager turned over the old score and told her: "Just now I just made an excuse to let Yinti go first, ah Although my brother was taught, I still want you, my mother, to restrain him. What happened today can be said to be a child's naughty words and deeds, but regarding the matter of the crown prince, don't wait for the ministers in front of you to trouble you , the emperor and the empress dowager have written everything in their hearts."

Concubine Hui knelt in a panic to express her heart, saying that she would not dare to instigate elder brother to be disrespectful to the prince. It's embarrassing to be a mother, and Yinti will also be hated by the emperor. Go back and think about it carefully, and call Yinti back in a few days, so you know how to discipline you."

Concubine Hui's heart is cold because of today's tossing. She knows the warmth and warmth of people in this palace best. The elder brother was naughty and disobedient when he was young. Such a thing, but ignored it, just told Concubine Hui silently that she didn't care about the eldest son of the emperor.

"Isn't it? What she cares most about now are those children of the Wu Ya clan." Concubine Hui returned to Changchun Palace. Concubine Yi had been waiting for a long time. Speaking of this matter, Concubine Yi said bitterly, "In the past Said, being punished by the empress dowager is a matter of face, even if you go to the Compassionate Ning Palace and kneel down until your knees are broken, it is only because the old man loves you that he is willing to discipline you. She is really capable, so she is staying in the Compassionate Ning Palace, is she afraid that if she lives in the Yonghe Palace, someone will harm the fetus in her stomach?"

Concubine Hui sat at the side with a condensed expression, she completely ignored the empress dowager's closeness to the emperor's grandson, and she did not dare to keep quiet about the incident before New Year's Eve, if she had led her elder brother to plead guilty, she might not be able to listen When the Empress Dowager said these words, the Empress Dowager always looked at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so what she meant must be what the Empress Dowager meant.

A few days later, the elder brother was brought back to the Changchun Palace by his mother and taught him a lesson, and even personally led him to the Xianfu Palace to kowtow to apologize. He said some polite words, and they left after a while.

Concubine Hui resolutely led her son to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, planning to be rejected, but only wanted to achieve this step, but unexpectedly when the Empress Dowager saw their mother and son, when she entered the door, she saw Wu Yashi in the corridor, gentle Smiling at them happily: "Grandma Su Mala just steamed a basket of steamed buns stuffed with three delicacies. The empress dowager said that elder brother likes to eat this the most, and she is thinking about it. Eldest brother, go in quickly, Yinzuo has already eaten it." gone."

Concubine Hui pulled her son and did not let him intrude, and politely asked Lan Qi why she didn't go in. The frail pregnant woman smiled and said: "It smells too sweet, I can't smell it, and I don't feel very comfortable. Come out to get some fresh air. Sister Hui, hurry up and take eldest brother." Go in, the buns are getting cold."

After she finished speaking, she supported Huanchun to go elsewhere. She heard the voice of the elder brother pestering her mother to go in behind her, and then she probably left. Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Huanchun looked back and told her softly: "Hui The imperial concubine and eldest elder brother have gone in, master, let's go back to the house and rest for a while."

Lan Qi nodded, and heard Huanchun murmur again: "It's a pity that Concubine Hui won't know that you persuaded the Empress Dowager to see them, and she still doesn't know why she is uncomfortable. The slaves really feel worthless, and almost told you to be called by the Empress Dowager." complain."

But she laughed: "If the Empress Dowager really doesn't want to, what's the use of me saying a few words? The Empress Dowager understands the importance of this better than I do. She is angry with Concubine Hui, not Elder Brother."

Here Yinti kowtowed to the Empress Dowager to admit his mistake, and after a few words of admonishment, the old man asked him to take Yinzuo to eat snacks.Not to mention that the elder brother is simple and straightforward. Apart from being dissatisfied with the younger brother of the prince, he loves and loves his other younger siblings. At this age, he should be a child at heart. It's not something a child with a scheming heart can do. After all, the Empress Dowager thought about it calmly. After all, she still loves her great-grandson and complains about Concubine Hui. It's not good to count it on the child.

At this moment, the children were having snacks and playing outside, Concubine Hui and the Empress Dowager were sitting opposite each other, repeatedly blaming themselves and begging for forgiveness, keeping their posture extremely low.

Back then in the dark Qianqing Palace in the middle of the night, the emperor and she uttered all the ugly things, but that was between her and the emperor, and there was no such thing as being reprimanded in front of the empress dowager or she lost her composure, even if they were both in their hearts. Seeing through each other, they either despised or hated them, and even sent Bao Yun to monitor the Changchun Palace. They were polite and peaceful, and for the sake of the dignity of the royal family, both of them maintained it well.

Concubine Hui could hear that the empress dowager was babbling about a few principles, but none of them made sense. She was interviewed today because of her son's help. Although it was inevitable that she was lonely and desolate, it was enough. Fight for yourself, everything is for Yinti.

What made Concubine Hui even more chilling was that the Empress Dowager seemed to be concerned and asked her: "Brother Ba is still a baby, you have to work hard, but Concubine Rong is more relaxed than you, you can't be too busy with the affairs of the harem." You don’t have to take everyone by your side, Concubine Rong and the concubines can take care of it, so you don’t have to worry about this draft.”

Concubine Hui heard bloody pain in her chest. Now it is a matter of drafting, and she doesn't know what it will be next time. In short, sooner or later, Concubine Hui's power will be taken away a little bit. In the future, she will guard it all alone. The Changchun Palace is bleak.Why did she finally get the eighth brother, but the situation is getting worse and worse?Very clever people are often misled by their cleverness.

As these few things settled down, Liugong entered a rare long period of peaceful days. Lan Qi had a good confinement in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the emperor was very happy to learn about it through letters, saying that the journey went smoothly, saying that Both the prince and him are well, let the grandmother take care of her body and so on.

Afterwards, the cold subsided, and the spring was getting stronger. The charcoal pots and stoves were removed from all the palaces and pavilions, and the clothes on his body were also reduced a little. Finally, the news came that Sheng Jia was on his way back to Beijing. Qi joked: "This little thing in the stomach is really in the way, otherwise it would be like before, the emperor stopped halfway to take the person he likes out to play for a few days."

Lan Qi blushed, and smiled coquettishly: "I was punished by you to kneel last time, and now I think about it, I still feel embarrassed. If I go out again, I should have my legs broken by you when I come back. I am not stupid."

A few jokes, when the imperial concubine and Rong concubine arrived, Lan Qi stepped aside and did not dare to presume, but only heard the imperial concubine say: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has reported that beautiful women from all over the country have arrived in the capital, and the concubines are here to invite the empress dowager. The emperor returns to Beijing and then chooses, or you and the queen mother will come forward and choose the candidates first."
