Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"I didn't think about it, I didn't think about it..." Concubine Hui's eyes froze, her chapped lips squirmed slightly, she kept repeating these words, trying to deny what Concubine Rong said, but tears gradually flowed from her dry eyes, Before I knew it, I said, "Other than this, what else is there for me to live in the palace? He has long since cut off his friendship with me, what he said that night, and his indifference last night, why do I want to live like this? "

Everyone has inner demons, and the body is the sustenance of the inner demons. As the body continues to expand, the inner demons will continue to grow stronger. One day, if they cannot be suppressed, they will be devoured by the inner demons. At this moment, Concubine Hui is being devoured by the inner demons , and just now when Concubine Rong said what she really wanted, she felt a moment when her heart seemed to be hollowed out, and she felt a little relieved.

"When the children grow up, they will decide for themselves in the future. If you insist on paving the way for him right now, you will only ruin his future. Don't let him miss the day when he can decide for himself." Concubine Rong calmly Saying that, he let go of the hand holding Concubine Hui's shoulder, "Every year, there will be new people coming. Yesterday, those people just said a few casual words and you can't bear it, but if you continue to toss like this, wait When we were old and we were ridiculed like this by the younger ones, wouldn’t you die of anger? The position of fourth concubine is not enough for the top, but more than enough for the bottom. If you don’t respect your self-esteem, I will only be able to watch others laugh at you in the future.”

Concubine Hui wiped away her tears heavily, and sneered: "Are they worthy too?"

Concubine Rong said: "It is indeed unworthy. Although the emperor did not express the difference between the four of us, but no matter what the will, whenever you and I are mentioned, you will always be the first among the four concubines. This is what the emperor gave to you and eldest brother. Noble, if you are ranked behind Wu Yashi like me, don't you have to be even crazier?"

"It's all the same, why come first and second, my sister doesn't need to comfort me." Concubine Hui was chilled by the emperor, and there were only four of them, she didn't care what priority they had.

"It's your nobility, it's the nobility of Eldest Brother in the future." Concubine Rong sighed, "Have you forgotten what you want with all your heart? But a son is more precious than a mother. If you are despised by the Emperor, Eldest Brother will still have you." What future?"

Concubine Hui seemed to be enlightened, and Concubine Rong said again: "Before Yinti grows up, if you lose your dignity in this harem, your son will be looked down upon by your brothers, so why fight? Get up, clean up, and wake up. .”

"I thought you hated me too." Concubine Hui reached out and stroked her messy hair, embarrassingly trying to cover up her embarrassment after giving up on herself, "I'm still thinking, who will set foot in Changchun Palace again, and you will come."

Concubine Rong smiled bitterly: "Looking at you standing there yesterday, those little Changs humiliated you face-to-face. I felt really sad. We spent such a hard time with the emperor, and ended up like this? Anyway, today I will say these words for the last time, so please take care of yourself.”

After saying these words, Concubine Rong got up to leave. Seeing the mess in the room, she frowned and said, "You didn't frighten the eighth brother by beating and beating all night? Since you want the baby, take good care of it. If you can’t raise it well, the superiors will find your fault again, don’t blame them for treating you badly, and live with your tail between your legs.”

Concubine Hui was not offended by these few words, but said weakly: "I didn't hear that child crying. If you want to talk about this eighth elder brother, he is really different from Yinti when he was a child. Her mother is so smart. He Will be a smart kid too."

"The imperial concubine has taught the fourth elder brother well. Do you think the emperor is happy? You can also weigh the matter of the eighth elder brother." Concubine Rong walked out cautiously after finishing speaking, and saw that the maids and eunuchs who had stayed outside all night looked haggard. , reluctantly told them, "Clean up the house quickly, and it's important to wait for your master to rest."

After saying this, she went outside, just as she saw Baoyun bringing the palace maid to fetch water, seeing her saluting respectfully, Concubine Rong saw the scar on the corner of Baoyun's mouth and slightly swollen cheek, frowned and asked: "What's wrong with your face? "

Baoyun said expressionlessly: "The servant did not discipline the servant well, the master taught the servant a lesson."

Concubine Rong was very surprised, Concubine Hui was really obsessed with phlegm, she even made a move on Baoyun, wouldn't she be afraid that the Empress Dowager would hate her even more when she heard that she was so violent?

"I'll let the imperial doctor come to see your master's body in a while. You also ask the imperial doctor for some ointment to reduce swelling. Otherwise, if people see you when you go out, they will think that something happened in Changchun Palace." Concubine Rong turned her eyes from Baoyun moved his face away, but he still had some backbone and toughness in his heart, and said coldly, "After all, she is the imperial concubine Hui, Baoyun, you are the smartest person, Qinglian can take good care of the imperial concubine, how can you Can't you?"

Baoyun only said yes coldly, and Concubine Rong came here openly today, not afraid of what the eyeliner of the Palace of Compassion and Peace would say, seeing her like this, she didn't say anything more, and took her away with her.

But when he went out, Ji Xin said worriedly: "Your Majesty, will the Emperor blame you for being troublesome?"

Concubine Rong shook her skirt by herself, as if she was afraid of getting dirty with the dirty things in Concubine Hui's room, she sighed and said: "If it was normal, I would also want others to remember my kindness. I don't care what the Empress Dowager thinks." As he spoke, he glanced back at the Changchun Palace, which was more magnificent than the Jingyang Palace, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid she will be recuperating at home for a while."

A group of people walked back, and unexpectedly saw Concubine Yi with Tao Hong and the others probing nearby. Seeing Concubine Rong coming from there, she turned around in a panic and was about to leave. Concubine Rong was disgusted at Concubine Yi's face last night Seeing her like this, she was really too lazy to talk to her, and led the people to walk away without seeing her, which made Concubine Yi even more embarrassed.

"What kind of face does she show me? They are getting old and decrepit, are they relying on others?" Yi Fei muttered sullenly, Tao Hong advised her to say less, and said that the emperor has been very kind to her recently Don't create a estrangement with the emperor again because of Concubine Hui.

Concubine Yi hurriedly followed her all the way back, and said repeatedly: "Fortunately, I'm smart, and I don't mess with her in some things. This time the incident is inexplicable. Who knows what she has something to do with it. Just now I wanted to go and see As for her, look at Concubine Rong's face, she must have hit a snag, so let's avoid it."

As a result, Concubine Hui said she fell ill after the Mid-Autumn Festival.The imperial doctor went to see her once a day, and after half a month, she still didn't get better. At first, she thought that she lost face in Chengqian Palace and didn't want to show her face again. In this way, she really felt that she was sick. Occasionally, concubines would come to her When I went to visit, they said that Concubine Hui was haggard and sick when they came back. Gradually, people forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Changchun Palace fell ill, but the Concubine De, who came back after giving birth, was getting healthier and healthier. From the beginning, she was panting and sweating when she walked a lot. Now she has returned to her previous healthy appearance, and she won't feel tired after spending a whole day with the Empress Dowager.Xuan Ye came to see her once every three to five days, and he always knew that she spent a day with his grandmother, and he was reluctant to let her work hard, but Lan Qi was able to talk with her energetically. At a good age, one should not be weak and sickly.

The matter in the palace from Nightmare Town has come to fruition, and the matter of Concubine De's drug addiction has dragged on for a long time, and fewer and fewer people are interested, and the Xianfu Palace is not as noisy as it used to be, and there is no excitement in the palace As the end of the year approached, there was something like the emperor's east tour at the beginning of the year. The days were peaceful and peaceful, and even the empress dowager murmured to Lan Qi: "Why am I so careless that I look forward to Su Mala every day?" Come tell me something troublesome. I think I am still sober at this age, isn't it because you have honed it?"

This is of course a joke, who doesn't look forward to a better life in the palace, the autumn wind sweeps away all the golden eyes, and winter is coming.

In the first ten days of November, the emperor decreed to re-edit the "Records of Taizu" and "Sacred Instructions of the Three Dynasties", and selected Minister Wen from the imperial court to participate in this project. This day, he came to Yonghe Palace to rest, and talked about it with Lan Qi, Xuan Ye said that he still wanted to compile a book to record the pacification of San Francisco, so he picked up a pen on the kang table and wrote "Strategy of Pacifying San Francisco", shaking his head and said: "But they are all prisoners now, lonely ghosts, 'San Francisco The word '' is really flattering. I don't like the name proposed by the ministers. What do you think?"

Lan Qi sat on the side and tilted her head to watch, muttering these words in her mouth, suddenly thinking about it, she just opened her mouth to say something, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand: "You can't say that this is meddling in politics, right? The emperor If the Empress Dowager finds out, she will twist the ears of the courtiers and concubines."

Lan Qi covered her ears again as she spoke, shook her head and said, "It's fine for the concubine to act coquettishly in other matters, but the Empress Dowager will not spare any leeway in matters of political affairs, the emperor don't ask the concubine any more."

Xuan Ye said with a smile: "How capable are you? You can still be involved in politics. It's just a name. What do you think of it? Let's not talk about hypocrisy. I will punish you for deceiving the emperor first."

Lan Qi was not convinced: "The emperor is so imposing, one sentence is enough to scare the courtiers and concubines." After finishing speaking, Xuan Ye hit his head with a pen and scolded, "Why do you talk so much nonsense, your health has recovered recently, He is as eloquent as before, although it hurts to see you sick and weak, but you are quiet, and your ears are very quiet."

Lan Qi smiled with eyebrows crooked, took the pen in Xuan Ye's hand, moved her body to rub against his arms, and wrote a line of regular script elegantly under the vigorous handwriting. Xuan Ye stretched his head to read, but it was "Ping Ding "Three Inverse Strategies", only changed one word.

"Your majesty thinks San Francisco is too flattering, so give them the status they deserve. They rebelled against the lord. Let's sum it up with a reverse word." Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye proudly. In fact, she was thinking wildly, but the emperor actually She really nodded, which made her a little flattered, and hurriedly explained that she was just thinking about it, but Xuan Ye said it was indeed very good, so it was settled, and Lan Qi said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please don't tell anyone, yes The concubine mentioned it, you said that you are not involved in politics, the empress dowager doesn't think so, the concubine will definitely be scolded again when she turns around."

Xuan Ye smiled very much, and kissed her earlobe lightly: "Are you going to get your ears twisted again?"

Lan Qi felt itchy to dodge, but Xuan Ye pinched her waist and scratched it again. The two of them were laughing, and the voice of Eunuch Li outside recalled embarrassingly: "Long live, the Imperial Physician Xuan in Chengqian Palace, Dongyun Sect People say that the imperial concubine is ill, please go over and have a look."
