Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

In the sleeping hall, the imperial concubine on the bed was already sweating profusely from the labor pains. She was completely inexperienced and had no idea what would happen next. How about it.The emperor once issued an order to invite Mrs. Tong into the palace to accompany him, but suddenly it was more than ten days early, even if he went to invite his wife outside the palace overnight, it would take some time to arrive.

Lan Qi came in in a hurry. When the imperial concubine saw her, she had just recovered from the pain. Panting heavily, she looked at the same potbellied woman and said with a wry smile, "You are so powerful. How dare you have such a painful thing? I don't want to have kids anymore."

"Your Majesty, don't talk too much, breathe slowly, just a few hours, and you'll be fine. In the future, when you see the child alive and kicking, you won't remember the pain today." Lan Qi tried her best to comfort her, but the imperial concubine was beaten again. A burst of severe pain struck, and in the pain, someone outside said faintly, "Si elder brother, you can't go in, Si elder brother is obedient."

Lan Qi heard it too, and when she was hesitating, she heard the imperial concubine say: "Go and tell Yinzhen that I'm fine, don't let him in."

"Yes."

"Wuya Lanqi." The imperial concubine suddenly called her by name, and Lan Qi listened in a daze, "The imperial doctor said that a woman's childbirth is a life-and-death crisis, if I can't make it through, Yinzhen will be yours. "

Lan Qi pursed her lips and looked at her, not knowing what to say, but the imperial concubine gasped for breath, and said: "If I really can't make it through, you must take good care of Yinzhen, don't let him be wronged, don't let him be punished." Brother bullying, my son must be the best, he will definitely be the best prince."

These words make it seem that the imperial concubine is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, and Lan Qi is just a adoptive mother who will take over in the future. Maybe Lan Qi would feel uncomfortable about this on weekdays, but now the person in front of her is on the verge of life and death. She loved that child so much that she would say these words. Not only did Lan Qi not care, but she was also moved by the imperial concubine's sincere love for the child, she nodded repeatedly and said: "The concubine listens to you, but my mother, the fourth elder brother loves you so much. You, are you willing to leave him alone? Having a child is not going to the guillotine, it’s not that scary, and the concubine is taking the fourth elder brother outside, waiting for your good news."

The imperial concubine was full of impatience, as if she was very worried about teaching Yinzhen to Lan Qi, as if she was very unwilling to die like this, before Lan Qi walked out the door, she heard that the imperial concubine was so weak and was still scolding the midwife : "Give birth to the child for me, or you will never want to live."

Hearing this, Lan Qi felt inexplicably at ease, the imperial concubine still had such a spirit, so nothing major would happen, but as soon as she came out, Yinzhen came up and asked, "Ms. Defei, what's wrong with my mother?"

Lan Qi comforted him: "The empress is going to give birth to younger brothers and sisters for the fourth elder brother. How about the fourth elder brother waiting with me? The empress asked you to wait for her good news. Do you want a younger brother or a younger sister for the fourth elder brother?"

But the little guy took Lan Qi's hand and walked towards the side hall, saying seriously: "My younger brothers and sisters like it, as long as Er Niang is fine, Er Niang is working hard."

Lan Qi felt sour in her heart, she wished her son could love her like this, but she felt very relieved because of this, her Yinzhen was so kind and lovely, the imperial concubine herself had a bad temper, but she taught her son so well, Earlier, so many people doubted her, and even provoked their relationship from time to time, the imperial concubine finally managed to save her breath, and didn't let those people see the joke.

Seeing Lan Qi coming out, Concubine Rong hurriedly dragged her to sit in the side hall, before asking how the imperial concubine was doing, she first asked Lan Qi if she felt uncomfortable, she smiled and said: "The imperial concubine is still like that and still has the strength to curse people , of course I'm fine."

"She scolded you?" Concubine Rong asked in surprise, "What did she scold you for?"

Lan Qi laughed and said, "What did you scold me for? I scolded the midwives for their clumsy hands and feet, and warned them to be careful."

Concubine Rong clicked her tongue and said: "After all, it is the empress. If it were someone else who would be frightened to death, there would be no mood to blame the servants."

After waiting for a full hour, there was no movement inside. I only knew that the imperial concubine was getting weaker and weaker, and was no longer able to reprimand others like the first one, and Yin Zhen also fell asleep on Lan Qi's lap, but Just as the wet nurse was about to take the fourth elder brother away, the little guy woke up and asked nervously, "Is Er Niang okay?"

Lan Qi had no choice but to continue to take care of him personally. Later, Mrs. Tong entered the palace overnight, and the imperial concubine had her own mother by her side, so she no longer hesitated and feared. Although the pain was smooth, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong waited outside again. After more than an hour, when Concubine Rong was urging her to go back to rest, a baby's cry was finally heard inside.

Both of them were overjoyed, but immediately calmed down nervously and continued to wait for the news.Yinzhen woke up sleepily, heard the baby crying, raised his head and asked Lan Qi: "Empress Defei, is that my little brother?"

In the inner hall, a palace lady ran out to spread the news, saying happily: "The imperial concubine is overjoyed, a little princess is born, and the mother and daughter are safe."

Both Concubine Rong and Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, Concubine Rong asked repeatedly: "Is your mother all right?"

"The imperial doctor said that she was exhausted and collapsed, there was no postpartum hemorrhage, and there was no pulse disorder. Don't worry, the two ladies." After saying that, the palace maid turned back, busy with people everywhere, and it took more than half an hour to stop.

Concubine Rong and Lan Qi led the fourth elder brother into the door. The imperial concubine was lying on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. When she opened her eyes and saw them coming in, she saw Yinzhen rushing towards her. A gentle smile appeared on her frail and pale face, and she gently touched Yinzhen. Zhen's head said: "Why don't you go to bed so late, Er Niang is going to be angry, go to bed quickly."

"Emiang, are you still in pain?" Yinzhen saw his mother's face was so pale, and a child knew what it meant to be sick. He rubbed the imperial concubine's arm with tears in his eyes, and murmured distressedly, "Emiang, don't hurt, I am obedient." .”

Mrs. Tong came over with her baby in her arms, bent down to show Yinzhen, and said with a smile, "Look, Si elder brother, this is the little princess, Si elder brother's little sister."

Yinzhen looked at the little baby with his eyes closed in surprise, the newborn baby was not very good-looking, he frowned slightly, and said childlikely: "My sister is not good-looking, not as good-looking as my mother."

Everyone in the room laughed, and the imperial concubine coaxed him a few words before letting the child be taken away. Seeing Concubine Rong and Lan Qi coming forward to congratulate him, she looked at the potbellied Lan Qi with a victorious attitude, obviously I lost the strength to speak, and said proudly: "Yinzhen and I are the fate of mother and son, and no one can break it up. You should go back quickly and hang around me with your belly open. What does the emperor want?" It's up to me."

Concubine Rong pulled Lan Qi, but in fact Lan Qi would not talk back and refute anything. If the imperial concubine did not do this, they would be surprised.After congratulating the two, they withdrew. Concubine Rong ordered Qinglian some things, and sent people to the Palace of Compassion and Ningshou to send news, and finally sent Lan Qi back in person, and she was relieved to see her lying down obediently , smiled and said: "The imperial concubine's words are good, if you make any mistakes, the emperor will even rely on me."

Lan Qi scolded her: "Is it okay for my sister to bully me? You've worked hard too, hurry up and take a rest, tomorrow you have to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ningshou."

Concubine Rong supported her back wearily and sighed: "People say that those who are able work hard, I am so stupid, and I am always busy." She glanced at Lan Qi and said, "In a few years, please help me."

Lan Qi smiled without saying a word, and asked Huan Chun to send Concubine Rong away. When Huan Chun came back, Lan Qi was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep. She put down the tent quietly, but suddenly heard her master say: "The imperial concubine's The imperial physician also said that this princess will not live long, she is not very sad, the emperor is at ease when she is like this. And I was so heartbroken last year, I must have caused a lot of trouble for the emperor."

Huan Chun was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Why did the master think of this?"

"A year has passed in a flash, and I still remember my daughter's appearance clearly, as if it was yesterday." Lan Qi choked up slightly, and for some reason, she became emotional at this moment, protecting her stomach with her hands and said, "There is a baby in my stomach." My daughter will be fine, my daughter will definitely come to see Erniang again."

Huan Chun leaned on the tent, saw his master was so pitiful, and asked with a smile: "Actually, the empress misses the emperor, doesn't she?"

Lan Qi suddenly opened her eyes, and smiled shyly: "If you don't say it, will I still treat you as dumb?"

At dawn the next day, the news spread that the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace gave birth to a little princess ahead of schedule. Both the empress dowager and the empress dowager were not disturbed last night. They were surprised to know this in the morning, and the empress dowager privately Said to the nanny: "Concubine Rong is becoming more and more responsible, and she can take care of these things by herself. You can watch the way under her feet for me. Don't have too much contact with people like Concubine Hui. I still look forward to it." In the future, she and Lan Qi will take good care of the affairs of the palace together."

Naturally, the good news of the imperial concubine's birth was rushed to the Mulan paddock. The emperor only got the news that the imperial concubine had given birth to a little princess after a day. The princes and ministers of all Mongolian ministries congratulated each other and prepared to celebrate in the paddock lively. In this way, the days of going back and forth to Luan are no longer hasty, and there is no set date for returning to Beijing for a while.

For people who like the grassland, they are happy to be here at ease, but naturally there are also those who are not used to the water and soil here. Seeing that they don't know when they will return, they will inevitably have complaints in private.And for Jue Chan, being with Rong Ruo Shen Wan, whether they meet or not, is torture.

That night, Xianghe was severely whipped by Concubine Jing, but such a thing would embarrass the emperor, and no one dared to report it to the top. The nobleman Jue Chan was dumbfounded, and was tossed by Concubine Jing for some reason. He didn't have much contact with her at all, so naturally everyone avoided it, but Pin Tong was kind-hearted, and came to visit her from time to time, and asked about concubine Jing's affairs, he felt that Chan had no intention of seeking justice, and just kept perfunctory.

Now Concubine Tong came to see her again and brought her fresh melons and fruits. Speaking of the imperial concubine giving birth to a little princess in the palace and the emperor going to hold a bonfire meeting, Concubine Tong smiled wryly: "Thanks to the cold night on the grassland, otherwise Burning a bonfire on a hot day, the heat is almost to death. That day all the sisters will go, so you should go too, otherwise you will suffer a lot if you stay here alone and something happens.”
