Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xianghe and the other palace maids tried their best to help the nobleman Juechan whose legs and feet were weak, and said they would send her back to the tent to rest. There is movement, but here are all the women of the harem, Rong Ruo is inconvenient to get close, so he sent others to find out what's going on.

He carefully carried Shen Wan off the horse, and said angrily, "If I hadn't passed by here, you'd be in trouble. If you don't know how to ride a horse, don't be brave. I will teach you when I have time. If you like it, I'll buy you another one." The best horses are raised, and the horses here are wild, you can't handle them."

Shen Wanyan smiled, she didn't seem to be frightened, but said happily: "If you don't ride a horse here, what fun is there? Since you brought me here to relax, don't restrain me, just pick me a docile horse." Horses are decent."

While speaking, Li Shi, the wife of Cao Yin, the imperial guard, greeted her with a smile. Rong Ruo and Cao Yin were close friends, and the young wives of the two families often communicated with each other. However, Li Shi and Shen Wan had never met each other because of affection when they were in Beijing. But after this journey, Rong Ruo entrusted her to take care of Shen Wan. Li Shi is also a Han Chinese, and she took care of each other all the way, and she and Shen Wan were kind of hits. At the moment, she was smiling: "My brother and sister are so strong, they scared me so much. , let's find other fun in An Ansheng, many empresses Fujin have ridden horses since childhood, we can't compare."

Shen Wan said with a smile that she didn't ride a horse to compare with anyone, but just thought it was interesting. When she was talking, the person sent to inquire about what happened just now came back and told Rong Ruo: "Returning to my lord, it was the nobleman Jue Chan who fainted just now. It has been sent back to the tent."

Rong Ruo frowned suddenly, Shen Wan also glanced at him when she heard the words, then smiled and took Li's hand and walked away: "I have scratched my leg, sister-in-law has plaster there."

It was only when Shen Wan flashed in front of her that Rong Ruo came back to her senses, and told her not to ride a horse anymore, so she should go back to do his errand, there are many female relatives here, he shouldn't have come here in the first place.

Let's say that when Jue Chan came back to the tent, Concubine Tong kindly wanted to invite an imperial physician for her, but Concubine Jue strongly declined, and not long after Concubine Tong was invited out by other people, and finally gave Concubine Jue a moment of peace.And she was supported by Xianghe just now, when she turned around, she saw Shen Wan and Rong Ruo talking, she was too far away to look closely at the eyebrows, but even seeing from such a distance shocked her heart .

It is said that Jiangnan women are really beautiful, but just looking at Shen Wan, Jue Chan felt that the saying in "Luo Shen Fu": "Grassy and beautiful, quiet and leisurely, tender and graceful" is true.In contrast, whether it is her or the young female relatives around her, they are all vulgar and vulgar, and they are all vulgar. She just smiles like that, and she is so beautiful.

No wonder, Rong Ruohui fell in love at first sight, no wonder, for her, Rong Ruo could do so many "ridiculous things" that violated ethics and ethics.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Is it because the imperial doctor said you are not acclimatized, but it has been two or three days since you came here, are you just not acclimatized now?" Xianghe asked with concern, squatting on the ground and looking up at the master. The cheeks hanging down suddenly became surprised, "Master, why are you crying?"

Jue Chan suddenly woke up, raised his hand to wipe away the tears that fell at some point, and said perfunctorily, "I'm not feeling well."

"Then you take a break." Xianghe didn't dare to ask, her master has always had the problem of hurting the spring and the autumn, she guessed that it was probably because of something, so she quickly waited for her to rest, and then retreated.

But where can I feel that Chan can sleep, her head is full of scenes just now, she also rode a horse with Rong Ruo once, and she still remembers that when he secretly took her to ride a horse for the first time, she was scolded by her elders.The past is vivid in his memory, but the woman who can ride with him now is not himself.

However, the quiet time was very short. After the women had enjoyed riding horses, they said they came to visit Jue Chan, but they gathered here and chatted on their own. Especially when "that Han woman" was mentioned, I heard it very clearly.

Someone said: "We banner people cannot intermarry with common people. That Han woman was raised in a foreign house by Lord Nalan, so she should have no status."

Another said: "I heard that the emperor acquiesced, so Master Mingzhu can't do anything. Wasn't it a joke a while ago, did it mean that Mrs. Zhu was left outside the door when she went to see her grandson?"

Then someone sighed: "This woman is really powerful. It is true that she was born as a prostitute. Women in that kind of place coax so many men every day, which one is not powerful?"

"Didn't you say that selling art is not selling yourself?"

"Who knows if it's for sale or not? How many clean things can there be from whores?"

These sarcasm echoed in my ears like a devil's voice, and felt that Chan almost collapsed. She sat up suddenly and said to the crowd, "I'm really uncomfortable. If you sisters want to gossip, can you go to another place?" ?”

Seeing her like this, Concubine Tong hurriedly told everyone to leave. Although the women were strange, they didn't take advantage of Concubine Tong's face. Only when the bustling crowd dispersed did Jue Chan fall down as if he had collapsed.

Outside the tent, Xi Concubine led people passing by, seeing this scene, she called the maid who was close to her and whispered something in her ear, and the maid said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this is not good."

Concubine Xi sneered: "I don't care if she is good or not, anyway, concubine respect is so excessive, I can't just suffer?"

If so, at dusk, someone from Xianghe came to pass the message, saying that the emperor asked Jue Chan to serve in the tent. Xianghe was very happy when the news came in, but Jue Chan didn't have such a heart at all, and even avoided it in the palace , Where can I come here to serve the driver, so I asked Xianghe to refuse, but the person Xianghe said had already walked away, seeing that he couldn't beat the master, so he could only go to the front to answer the question.

However, Xianghe went away for a long time and didn't come back, and when other court ladies came back, she said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, go and have a look, Xianghe was dragged into the tent by the concubine, and she is currently being beaten."

Jue Chan is not so cold-blooded and heartless, Xiang He has been taking care of her all these years, upon hearing such a thing, she immediately put on her clothes and rushed to Jing's concubine's tent.

It was only when I came that I found out that the emperor had no intention of summoning Jue Chan to attend his bed at all, and because he was supposed to serve his concubine tonight, he somehow angered the emperor and was kicked out. If her master is not in good health and cannot serve him, Concubine Jing becomes furious and thinks that Jue Chan is pregnant with her, so she drags Xiang He away without any explanation.

At this moment Mrs. Jue Chan was kneeling in front of the concubine Jing, and the woman on the seat said angrily: "I think you are quite safe in the palace, so you are afraid of the people above you, and they will see me as a bully together, so come outside and use this vicious kung fu." Is it? When did the emperor call you to sleep, and you deliberately sent a maid to show your face, what do you mean?"

"The concubine is not there, it was just now..."

"You didn't, okay, that's your maid." Concubine Jing interrupted Jue Chan's explanation, pointed at her subordinates viciously and said, "Since the nobleman Jue Chan doesn't know how to seduce court ladies, let me teach you how to do it." , Hit me hard, and see if this little bitch dares to play these dirty tricks behind his master's back."

The few people around were ordered to whip the horsewhip on Xianghe's body crackling in their hands. Xianghe cried and rolled in pain. Jue Chan couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed forward to protect Xianghe and said, "It's all my concubine's." Wrong, I beg my mother to spare her, if the concubine does not leave the tent for half a step before returning to Beijing, my mother, please forgive her."

But at this moment, outside the tent of Concubine Jing, Xi Concubine was leading several female family members over, and she was sitting with her just now, and now she suddenly said that she would come to Concubine Jing to beg for tea brought by the capital, and even worked hard to mobilize people. She brought them all over, and she knew in her heart that she was here to see Concubine Jing making a joke, but the others were frightened by the shouting and killing inside. Seeing it clearly, he was surprised and said, "Isn't this the nobleman Jue Chan?"

Among the female relatives, Shen Wan, who happened to follow Mrs. Cao Li Shi, was startled when she heard the words. She, who had been following behind others in a low-key way, leaned out half of her body, and saw the master and servant falling on the ground in embarrassment. His body was covered in bruises, the so-called Jue Chan nobleman, his hair was a little loose, and he was trying to help the maid get up, but there was no one around to help.

Concubine Xi sighed: "What's the trouble?" He generously led people in to see Concubine Jing's jokes, and the female relatives followed to Concubine Jing's tent, Shen Wan followed behind, approaching the door, Suddenly pulled Mrs. Li and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't go in, I'm really not used to it, and Rong Ruo won't be happy when she finds out."

Mrs. Li also said softly, "Forget it, they are all talkative, blame me for asking you to stay with me in the tent just now, but you got entangled here instead." Then she ordered the girl next to her: "Send Miss Shen back well, Don't get lost."

Miss Shen, the people on the ground suddenly raised their heads, Li Shi had already hidden in the tent, that girl wanted to lead the way for Shen Wan, but Shen Wan didn't leave, just as Jue Chan looked directly at her, she also stared fixedly at her. Looking at Jue Chan who fell to the ground, Shen Wan has always known this woman, this woman who was locked in Rong Ruo's heart but was in the Forbidden City.

"Let's...help me out." Shen Wan greeted the girl next to Li Shi, and that girl was also kind-hearted, and she came to help the weak Xianghe. Everyone didn't know each other, so the girl still sighed, "How can I fight?" It’s like this, but you have to take the medicine carefully, it’s hot and you can’t be sloppy.”

The master and servant stood up slowly, but before they could stand still, Jue Chan staggered and almost fell, Shen Wan stretched out his hand to help, and said in his mouth: "Be careful."

Jue Chan pushed Shen Wan's hand away instinctively, and immediately regretted it, as if afraid that the person in front of him might misunderstand something, but he opened his lips slightly, but was unable to utter a word.

On the contrary, Shen Wan took the initiative and didn't talk much, she and the girl helped Xianghe to go, but they didn't know where Jue Chan's tent was, and finally Jue Chan led the way slowly, and the four were able to walk back.

The other maids around Jue Chan took the master and servant into the tent, Xianghe was beaten badly, and they were busy cleaning and applying medicine to her, the girl also approached enthusiastically, leaving Shen Wan here .Jue Chan was already sitting powerlessly on the couch, when a court lady came to ask what she needed, she waved her away.

Seeing her like this, Shen Wan bowed and said goodbye, turned around and took two steps, and heard the person behind him say: "Go back, don't tell him about this, he knows, it's just adding trouble, why bother?"

"May I ask, who are you talking about?" Shen Wan asked Jue Chan unexpectedly. She stared blankly at the woman in front of her, but Shen Wan had already turned around, but calmly Looking at her, he said, "I know very few people in Beijing. Since you don't want anyone to know, then I will definitely be able to do it. There are really few people I know who can tell what happened just now."

"Nalan Rongruo." Jue Chan blurted out this name. It's been a long time since she called this name out of her heart, but when she said it, it was a heart-piercing pain. What does Shen Wan in front of her mean? She was mocking her , sarcasm her?

"Rong Ruo, she is the concubine's husband." Shen Wan looked at Jue Chan calmly, candles were already lit in the tent, and the orange light was reflected on her face, revealing her lustrous skin, her eyes full of autumn waves, and her figure Slender and slender, just standing like this and talking simply, it seems to be radiant, making people unwilling to take their eyes off.

But I don't know whether it was Jue Chan who looked at her from the heart to see this scene, or whether Shen Wan really had the beauty of the country and the city.

There was silence in the tent for a while, the two of them didn't speak again, after a long time, Shen Wan took the initiative to say: "It's getting late, if you don't have orders from the nobleman, I will take my leave."

Shen Wan bowed her body, and when she stood up straight again, she finally heard Zen say: "Are you secretly pleased when you see me in such a mess? If not, why do you have such an attitude? Even with a stranger, you won't be like this." In Jue Chan's eyes, it is not clear whether it is envy or jealousy, there is only a thin line between the two, but envy is the emotion of the bystander, and jealousy is the passion of the person involved.

"My concubine is dull, so I don't understand what you mean." Shen Wan stood there calmly and generously, with a smile that was neither thick nor light. She has seen countless people in the romantic field, what else is worth it? She made a fuss.

"How could you not know, let him..."

Shen Wan interrupted Jue Chan's words, and said eloquently: "I heard that Rong Ruo mentioned that there was a woman who worked hard for him to live in a world separated by a high wall, and every time I heard him mention something, my concubine They all wondered, since that woman is everything that Rong Ruo thinks of, why does she always let him think about it? From my own point of view, there is no such thing as living for another person. It's unreasonable. With my status as a concubine, I can only think that at least one of the two has been entangled all the time, and he used everything as an excuse to satisfy his own selfish desires."

Jue Chan's eyes froze, and he didn't know whether he had listened carefully to Shen Wan's words. His slender body trembled slightly, and then he had to stretch out his hands to support his body on the couch, and unconsciously avoided Shen Wan's gaze. , Did she lose, did she lose completely?However, Shen Wan's words were not because Rong Ruo still had herself in her heart, or because Rong Ruo hadn't let go of her feelings with her, otherwise how could she have thought of these words.

In a daze, Jue Chan remembered that she had heard similar words before, who said it to her?

And Shen Wan said again: "The concubine is not in the banner, and if she and Rongruo have an unnamed husband and wife, what will that woman think in her heart? But a marriage certificate and a title are insignificant at all. As for Rong Ruo, does she still think about it?" It is even less important to the concubine if he leaves someone else, what matters is who will be by his side for the rest of his life, and that person really shouldn't be entangled."

A few words were simple and clear. Shen Wan heard Li's girl looking for her, and without waiting for the nobleman Jue Chan to say anything, she turned around and left. Jue Chan didn't calm down for a long time. When she woke up, Shen Wan had long since disappeared. When the other maids turned back, they only saw their master crying and lying on the ground.

Everyone thought that she was wronged by the respected concubine, but they didn't know that the last time she cried so heartbroken was when the emperor summoned her to bed and could no longer keep her innocent body for Rong Ruo.But this time, it was because Shen Wansheng broke the last tie between her and Rong Ruo, she knew that her position in Rong Ruo's heart was getting smaller and smaller.

On the same night, in the Forbidden City, because the emperor and many concubines left the palace, the night in the palace became more peaceful.Knowing that her stomach will get bigger in a few months and she won't be able to sleep well, Lan Qi now has a regular diet for her daily life, just to try her best to keep her body healthy, and she doesn't want to repeat the tragedy of the past year.

I slept early tonight, imagining Xuan Ye riding a horse galloping in the grassland, and I seemed to meet him in my sleep, but I was suddenly awakened by a sound of urging, and when I opened my eyes, I only heard Huan Chun say: "Master, it seems that the imperial concubine is about to give birth, and there is a commotion in Chengqian Palace."

Lan Qi was startled, and suddenly woke up.Because the imperial concubine is about to give birth, she told Huanchun and the others to come and report at any time, so it is no wonder that Huanchun woke her up in the middle of the night, she sat up and felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, and the baby in her stomach was safe and sound, Then I changed my clothes and went to Chengqian Palace.

It was said before that Madam Su Mala would come to accompany the imperial concubine to give birth, but she had a cold a few days ago, so she must not come here tonight, and it is more than ten days away from the day when the imperial physician calculated that the imperial concubine would give birth. Fortunately, the imperial physician Wen Po arranged all the staff early, so there would be no chaos after so many children were born in the palace, but the poor imperial concubine was about to give birth unprepared.

Concubine Rong arrived soon, and late at night, she didn't dare to disturb the Palace of Compassion and Ningshou until the critical moment, and advised Lan Qi: "You have a stomach full, go back and rest, you can't help much. "

But saw Qinglian rushing out from the inside in a hurry, saw Lan Qi and begged: "Empress Defei, Empress, she wants to see you."

In fact, this is the purpose of Lan Qi's insistence on coming, and Concubine Rong understands after thinking about it a little more. A woman's life is in danger at all times during childbirth. Brother, there must always be a entrustment, and right now it is undoubtedly the best entrustment to the child's biological mother.

"You have to be careful yourself, don't bother too much, if you have anything else, how can I explain to the emperor?" Concubine Rong helped Lan Qi to the door, and repeatedly urged, "Be careful with the one in your stomach, after you finish speaking Come out now."
