Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi just said something casually, and Xuan Ye used it as a way to solve this matter. He seldom handles the affairs of the harem himself. The concubines managed it themselves. This time the emperor appeared in person, interrogated and searched, and even summoned all the concubines to be present. The women knew that this matter must have a result.

But Xuan Ye also said at this moment: "The technique of Nightmare Town can be big or small. Maybe in the end, I will still use the mouse to make amends and arrest anyone to atone for the crime, but I can't bring the real perpetrators to justice. Not only in the harem, but also in the harem." The imperial court's crackdown on corruption is often full of enthusiasm in the end, and they make them laugh at my incompetence in secret."

Lan Qi persuaded softly: "That's not a ridicule, it's a scream of fear from the heart, but it sounds like laughter to others, but in their hearts, it's more uncomfortable than crying. Although we can't use our own justice to judge the wicked Right and wrong, but you must believe that evil can never prevail.”

Xuan Ye was very pleased: "I haven't seen you studying recently, but what you say is more and more suitable to my taste. Why do you make me feel fresh and surprised all the time? I really want to hate you."

Lan Qi proudly said: "The concubine loves to read opera books recently, don't look at those vulgar things, the white faces and black faces in the operas are all about these principles, you can't be afraid of negativity just because the evil one is strong, it has been passed down for thousands of years, Naturally, they stand upright in heaven and earth. In the future, my concubines will also teach these principles to the children. I don’t expect them to make great achievements, but they must be good people with integrity.”

"Nonsense, how can our sons not make great achievements? If they are mediocre, I will blame you." Xuan Ye said jokingly, and couldn't help but embrace the person in front of him again. Her slender body made him Feeling distressed all the time, he said softly, "The grievances you have suffered are all because I failed to protect you well, but we have agreed that we will be with you for a lifetime, right?"

The words evoked Lan Qi's pain of losing her daughter again, but the little girl's firm eyes eager to live were engraved in her heart. She couldn't wear down her body because of grief, and the empress dowager was waiting for her to serve her. , the world is waiting for her and Xuan Ye to travel, she wants to live a good life instead of her daughter, and for herself and Xuan Ye.

"Anyway, the concubine is relying on the emperor, and you can't shake it off." She said softly, Xuan Ye lowered his head and kissed her, from forehead to cheek, and slowly stayed on his lips. Lan Qi did not resist, but Xuan Ye Still stopped, and then kissed lightly greedily to stop the obsession, "I can't bully you, you have to take good care of your body."

Lan Qi felt sorry for him, but she also knew how to behave, so she nodded happily: "The concubine understands."

This night was still like the night of the Lantern Festival, the two chatted about new things in different directions, Lian Huanchun and Eunuch Liang, who was outside at night, said to each other: "The emperor and the empress, why do you always have endless things to say?"

However, words are the real spiritual communication between people. You can know what the other person is thinking from every word and sentence. The entanglement of the body can be love or no emotion. Concubine Rong said in the early years that the imperial concubine sleeps in the room It's easy, but rare, the emperor has something to say to you.

After the Nightmare Town incident, the Liugong was peaceful for a while, but the death of the little princess in early August still shocked the palace. Some people felt sorry for Concubine De's loss of her daughter, but there was no lack of gloating about it. She can only hope that her fate will be bad, so as to relieve the torture of jealousy in her heart.

After that, Liugong was allowed to visit Concubine De, but Huanchun often blocked the visitors on the grounds that the empress was sad and too weak. Only Concubine Rong and the others saw her once, although she looked no more haggard than they imagined, But the sadness on Lan Qi's face, which doesn't need to be disguised, is still embarrassing.Both Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan had lost their children, so they could better understand her grief at the moment, so they didn't say empty words, and only asked her to take care of her health.

A few days later, the funeral of the little princess was carried out according to the rules. Everyone thought that the emperor was partial to the concubine and would give this daughter some honor, but like other children who died young, they simply sent them for burial according to the rules, without posthumous seals. Not to mention that Yudie would not be included in the genealogy, so he turned the words around, saying that the emperor still favored the concubine De, and didn't want to make her too conspicuous and make her enemies.

These words more or less spread into the Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi just laughed it off, and she had to practice what she said to Xuan Ye that day, and in the blink of an eye for nearly two months, her body has been well maintained. In fact, from the moment the fetus was delivered, she was no longer as weak as she was during pregnancy. In the following days, she only seemed weak because of excessive sadness. Once her emotions stabilized, her body gradually improved, and her pre-pregnancy clothes fit well. Huanchun and the others were very comforted by not losing weight.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and this autumn due to various matters, the palace did not hold banquets, but the palace was still full of excitement on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, so she dressed up a few days in advance, and went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager whom she was thinking of.But when everyone surrounded her and led the sixth elder brother to go out, there were other guests in the Yonghe Palace, and the eunuch in front of the door ran in to report: "Master, the concubine Tong from Chuxiu Palace has arrived."

Huan Chun asked: "Didn't the empress concubine Tong be grounded by the emperor?"

The little eunuch said: "The slave doesn't know either, has the master seen it? If not, the slave will send it away."

Lan Qi knew that the incident in Nightmare Town had nothing to do with Concubine Tong. She was dragged down by this incident. She heard that the imperial concubine also severely blamed her. She felt that it was because of her own words, although the emperor chose her to arrange He couldn't be too ruthless by staying out of the matter, so he ordered Huanchun to prepare tea, and then returned to the hall to wait for Concubine Tong to come.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and the person who came in was even thinner at first glance. These days must have frightened her. At this moment, she respectfully saluted, and Lan Qi asked her to sit down. Instead, she asked with concern: "My sister, why is she so thin?" After so much, are you not feeling well?"

Concubine Tong's eyes were moist without saying a word, as if trying hard to calm down, she said: "I am alone in Chuxiu Palace. I always have nightmares at night, and I don't have much appetite during the day. Thank you for your concern. I am not sick. I have always wanted to see you You, but the emperor told his concubines not to go out to avoid suspicion, so he issued a decree today, saying that it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he is allowed to come out for a walk."

"It's good that you're not sick." Lan Qi smiled gently, "I'm afraid it's a bitter summer, and Bugui people are like this. They always have to lose weight before autumn. Now that the weather is cooler and the spleen and stomach have been opened, eat well to make up for it."

But Concubine Tong looked at her sadly, and asked with a sob: "Don't you blame the concubine?"

"Blame you? What's wrong with you?" Lan Qi asked knowingly, without revealing anything on her face.

Tong Concubine said: "The imperial concubine asked the concubine to apologize to you. Although the incident in Nightmare Town was indeed not done by the concubine, but the concubine did not control the Chuxiu Palace, so that such a thing happened and hurt you. Fourth elder brother, the concubine cannot absolve himself of the blame."

Lan Qi smiled: "You can't believe the theory of ghosts and gods. It's better for my younger sister not to have demons. As for the fourth elder brother." She looked at Tong Pin seriously and said, "The fourth elder brother is the child of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine and empress can just talk, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Concubine Tong obviously didn't understand, she hesitated and said: "It's the imperial concubine who asked the concubine to come..."

Lan Qi interrupted her and said, "Next time, my sister will tell the imperial concubine, 'Si elder brother is your son, please explain to Concubine De what you do.'"

"Ms. Concubine De?" Tong Pin's mind is still shallow, and she still doesn't understand the doorway here.

Just when the palace lady brought tea, Lan Qi winked at Huanchun, and Huanchun brought tea to Concubine Tong, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, forgive me for talking too much. I don't know if your Majesty will be in the palace for a short time, but the fourth elder brother is The imperial concubine's child is known to everyone in the palace, so you can remember it like this in the future, it can't be wrong."

"Minister, I've made a note." Concubine Tong might not have turned the corner yet, but seeing Concubine De being gentle and generous, she felt very comfortable in her heart, as if she had unburdened herself, and finally smiled a bit.

"The emperor also believes that my sister is not such a vicious person, so I will investigate carefully, otherwise, I will be convicted long ago, right? Since the emperor believes, I believe that the emperor will give you justice." Lan Qi said, and looked at her again. It was getting dark outside, and he said with a smile, "Look at me, I'm wearing the clothes I'm going out, and I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, my sister came today unfortunately, next time I'll be the host and invite my sister, or I'll take Yinzuo to Chuxiu Palace to play , I heard that there are many exquisite Western objects in my sister's house, which just opened our sixth elder brother's eyes."

Concubine Tong was very happy, and agreed in a hurry. Knowing that Lan Qi was going out, she said goodbye immediately. Huanchun called someone to clean up the tea set, and tidied up Lan Qi's clothes. She said with a smile, "Ms. It's very different from the imperial concubine."

But Lan Qi muttered: "If she has a real temperament, she is a blessing, otherwise...forget it, it has nothing to do with me."

Afterwards, I took Concubine De to the Palace of Compassion and Ning in a soft sedan chair. I didn't know that she would come suddenly. The eunuch in front of the door happily wanted to report, but Lan Qi said playfully, "I'll go in secretly to surprise the Empress Dowager." How about a little?"

The crowd naturally agreed, and surrounded Concubine De to the outside of the inner hall, there was too much movement, Lan Qi asked Huan Chun and the others to stay outside, and she came in quietly stepping on the bottom of the flower pot, and was about to go inside when she heard The Empress Dowager said: "It really is Concubine Hui? She has such a vicious heart. I thought she was only looking for profit, and gave her the eighth elder brother to fill her breasts. It turns out that her breasts are just a piece of meat. A ditch is an abyss or a bottomless pit, how can it be filled?"

Aunt Su Mala persuaded: "Master, don't be angry. This servant may not believe Concubine Hui's theory. If she really wants to harm Concubine De, why would she take the risk and send her to Xianfu Palace? This servant thinks that she The person who wants to deal with it may be Concubine Wen."

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "But Lan Qi still lost her child, didn't she cast a curse? Such a woman cannot be kept."

Lan Qi was startled when she heard this sentence, she stepped back a few steps and heard the sound of footsteps, then she heard the nanny scold: "Who is outside?"
