Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Take care of the road under your feet, don't look around." Xuan Ye held Lan Qi's hand tightly, guarded the proper manners, carefully cared for every step of her feet, and climbed up the steps steadily. , finally trampled one hundred and eight kinds of troubles underfoot.

At the top, Xuan Ye waited for the prince, led him to look out from the cliff, pointed to the majestic mountains and rivers and said: "Ama will lay the most solid country and society for you, and you must pass it on in the future."

Lan Qi stands behind the father and son, and the beautiful scenery of the country is also in his eyes, but after listening to Xuan Ye's words, he knows his love and expectation for the prince, and thinking about his own sons, they do not have the burden of being heirs, and their relationship with their father It is more pure than the prince's. They didn't have to bear the pressure of inheriting the country in their childhood. No matter what the future is, her children must grow up happily.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the prince.I also think that at his age, Xuan Ye has already sat alone on the dragon chair, and survived a period of turbulent years with the empress dowager. Despite all kinds of experiences, he still has a benevolent personality. When facing himself, he was just a husband who tenderly cared for his wife. Eight years passed by so quickly that it was too late for people to remember all the details. fly by.

However, when thinking of the word "wife", there was a slight ripple in my heart.She remembered that Xuan Ye once called her his wife, although it was just a casual sentence, but for the Emperor Tian's family, there is a huge difference between a wife and a concubine, and what he said casually is enough for Lan Qi to remember for a lifetime.

There is no woman in the world who is willing to be a concubine. Even she, Wu Yalanqi, once imagined that in the future, she will be married and be the mistress of the family, and she will live a happy life with her husband and children.But she stayed in the palace and became the emperor's concubine. How many women in the palace cared about the word concubine. Empress Niu Hulu couldn't let it go even before she died. Lan Qi asked herself if she cared, but her answer was so realistic. care.

But caring does not mean having, not cherishing everything you already have, and asking for unattainable dreams, how can people live happily, just like the one hundred and eight steps, you can see it when you look up, but don’t walk Every step in front of me, how to climb to the top.

"Niang Niang." At this time, Huan Chun, who was behind Lan Qi, pushed her lightly. Lan Qi suddenly came back to her senses, and saw that the emperor and the crown prince had walked away, and Xuan Ye was looking back at her with a smile. Asked, "What are you thinking?" Lan Qi bowed her head shyly, and followed with a smile.

In the sacred place of Buddhism, the emperors and concubines guard the respect of the Buddha, and there can be no close things. They burn incense and pray to the Buddha. Lan Qi prays devoutly for the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Xuan Ye, remembering that the Empress Dowager asked her to give The Buddha begged for a few more years of longevity, but she changed it on her own. She hoped that the Buddha would make the Empress Dowager a peaceful and comfortable evening, free from illness and disaster. What's the point.

Two days after Shengjia visited Mount Wutai, the news spread back to Gyeonggi. The Empress Dowager was very pleased to know that they were safe and sound. She also fasted herself these few days and ordered the women in the palace to get rid of the concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi who had given birth. In addition, they all fasted together, and all the fasting meals were cooked with new utensils in the imperial kitchen, and they were shared by the six palaces, princes and princesses.

Although the arrival of big fish and meat in the first month happened to take this opportunity to cleanse the stomach, but there are also those who can't stand the fast and hardship, and there are many private complaints in the palace, but it is the order of the Empress Dowager, and no one dares to disobey it. Every day, I waited for the vegetarian food to be delivered from the imperial dining room, but the weather was still cold, and when some palaces farther away got it, the food was cold.

This is the case in Xianfu Palace. The food they get every day is just warm hands, and the stomach will be cold after eating. Dongyun ordered the maid to reheat it before serving it to Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen has been sluggish and has no appetite, she has lost a lot of weight and haggard within a month, and she refuses to ask her doctor Xuan to take care of her.

The vegetarian dishes for today's lunch were delivered on time again, Xu Shi Dongyun complained several times, those little eunuchs were even more dedicated, the food they got today was still steaming, so Dongyun no longer asked people to heat it, and brought it directly for the master eating, but her master just curled up on the kang blankly, as if looking at the outside world through a crack in the window lattice.

"Your Majesty, the vegetarian food rewarded by the Empress Dowager is here, you can eat it while it's hot." Knowing that she wouldn't move, Dong Yun asked the maid to clean up the kang table, put the food down, and said with chopsticks in her hand, "You don't want to eat?" Eat, others don't know about it, and you still blame the empress dowager for making the six palaces fast, so why spread these gossips."

Concubine Wen glanced at her lazily, feeling a lot of helplessness in her heart. She slowly sat down and picked up the chopsticks. Seeing a plate of vegetarian fried gluten, a plate of assorted dried shredded rice, a plate of green vegetables and a plate of pickled radish, she said with a wry smile: " The Empress Dowager really knows how to make a fuss, and the nobles of the Tian family eat these things? The vegetarian food in the temple is not so shabby."

Dong Yun could only persuade: "The empresses of all the palaces eat like this, if the master is not full, the servant will ask the small kitchen to cook two dishes for you?"

"That's all, so that the Empress Dowager doesn't like me." Concubine Wen sighed, moved her chopsticks to pick up a mouthful of green vegetables, and put them in her mouth. She didn't know what smell made her feel uncomfortable, her stomach was churning and tangled, as if she was about to vomit To be refreshed, he calmed down after a lot of tossing, Dong Yun counted the days with his fingers, his heart was pounding, and he said softly: "Master, do you have it?"

Concubine Wen Gui was shocked suddenly, her body was full of blood, recalling the days before the Lantern Festival, she couldn't believe it, no matter how much effort she spent in the past year, she thought she really didn't have that life, will it be in vain this time? Have a good time?Before she could open her mouth, Dong Yun had decided to ask someone outside to announce the imperial physician, and coaxed the master to say: "Your Majesty, calm down, let's wait patiently for the imperial physician to arrive."

At this time Concubine Hui was taking the eighth elder brother to sit in the Yikun Palace, they were quite bold, because Concubine Yi did not need to fast, and there was meaty food in the palace, so Concubine Hui brought the eighth elder brother to have a few bites of food in private .The little guy is good at everything, but he is picky about his food. He refuses to take a bite of the food delivered during his fast these days. , Let the child rub a few mouthfuls of meat.

Concubine Yi knew that this was not a big deal, although she and Concubine Hui had been estranged a few days ago, they hadn't turned against each other, it was just a matter of children's food, she just turned a blind eye I am also happy to help Concubine Hui with something. After all, Concubine Hui has helped her a lot since she was able to conceive a dragon fetus today. Concubine Hui taught her the most intimate things in the tent. A little kindness, I still remember it in my heart.

Yinhu was full and was running around the room with Sister Kejing. The two mothers were sitting and gossiping. Concubine Yi had the experience of giving birth to a fifth elder brother before. Pregnancy was not a difficult task for her. Her own child was raised under her knees, her face was flushed and she was in high spirits, and said cheerfully to Concubine Hui: "The Queen Mother is not stingy this time, and rewarded me with a lot of things. child."

Concubine Hui smiled: "When this in your stomach grows up, and the brothers study together in the future, the fifth elder brother will understand the difference between Er Niang and the emperor's grandmother. Which child does not recognize his mother? You just wait for the fifth elder brother." Just come and get close to you."

Concubine Yi complacently said: "No, I was the one who gave birth after all. Now I also want to understand that Yinqi will follow the Queen Mother, and his future will not be bad."

But seeing Princess Kejing running towards Concubine Yi without thinking, Concubine Hui stopped her quickly and called Yinhu to her, teaching them not to run amok. Knee said: "Er Niang gave me a little brother."

Concubine Yi was originally seeking a son, and when she heard Ke Jing say this, she naturally smiled from ear to ear, and happily agreed: "Emiang will definitely give birth to a younger brother for you."

At this time, Taohong came in from outside, and Baoyun followed behind. The two thought it was something important, but she heard Taohong said: "The imperial physician was announced half an hour ago in Xianfu Palace, and there has been news to Cining now." Palace and Ningshou Palace sent it off, Concubine Wen Gui is pregnant."

"She has it too?" Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi said in unison, is this the right time, all of them are blooming and bearing fruit, even if Concubine Wen only had a miscarriage before, her body can really stand up to it.

Concubine Hui sneered angrily: "I thought that incident was enough for her. She is really lucky."

Concubine Yi didn't understand, so she asked her: "What do you say, sister?"

Concubine Hui then talked about what happened in Mei Lin, she didn't say much else, she sneered in her heart, she was just thinking about it that day, trying to try her luck, when Concubine Wen saw her when she entered the garden, there was no expression on either side of her face. It's good to see, some things are well known to each other, Concubine Hui led Yinhu away immediately, how did she know that she would meet the emperor, and the emperor would take her along.At that time, I just thought that if Concubine Wen Guifei told people about her gossip, no matter whether it sounded good or not, the emperor would not be happy, but people didn't bother to talk about herself, and went straight to the Yonghe Palace word by word. Far from being unhappy, it would be polite not to trouble her.

"I'm going to congratulate you. My sister shouldn't move too much. Let me tell you something." Concubine Hui stood up, glanced at Concubine Yi's waist, and said with a half-smile, "Next year will be lively. Add a few more dolls."

However, Concubine Wen was happy and was not in a hurry to tell the emperor who was away. On February 24, when the emperor left from Mount Wutai to return to Luan, he only got news from the palace that everything was safe with the empress dowager and the empress dowager. Then they returned the same way, the emperor, Concubine De and the Crown Prince all sat in chariots, and the accompanying people all watched with cold eyes what Concubine De would do on this trip, but for several days, Concubine De did not even speak to the Emperor. , Abide by your duty in every word and deed, and really come to pray for the Empress Dowager.

Thousands of rides rode from Bodhisattva top to the west of the Great Wall, and after a short rest, they will start on the road again. Lan Qi got off the car to get some air, and saw that the prince was also on the side of the road, surrounded by a group of maids and nuns, so she came up and asked: "Prince What's wrong?"
