Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"I naturally believe in my sister, but now that the children are growing up, these things will always be clear. Although the Empress Dowager does not need to hide it, after all, it is the last thing the imperial concubine wants to mention, so she should be the first to speak That's good." Lan Qi patiently shared her and Huanchun's thoughts, "I think we should ask Yinzhi first if he said anything, and where he heard it from, and then it would be best if there is no movement from the fourth elder brother, just in case If there is trouble, we are also prepared in our hearts."

Concubine Rong was frowning, and called Ji Xin to bring the third elder brother here. It seemed that she couldn't understand her son well enough, and felt that the wet nurse must have heard the truth, but she never mentioned this matter in Jingyang Palace, so she really didn't know about her son. Where did I find out.

The child came soon, and when he came, he wanted to play with Yinzuo. Concubine Rong reprimanded him angrily: "When you go to the study, let's see how you play. The masters won't keep you honest."

Seeing her mother getting angry for no reason, the third elder brother felt aggrieved, and leaned against Lan Qi and dared not get close to her mother, so Lan Qi coaxed her to ask a few words, gently mentioning what she said in Chengqian Palace yesterday, and the third elder brother followed her Answer each question one by one, and when asked who the fourth elder brother's biological mother is, Yinzhi said with certainty: "Brother Dahuang said that the fourth brother was born to Empress De, and the fourth and sixth brothers are from the same mother. no the same."

Concubine Rong opened her mouth wide and asked after a long while: "Did elder brother say that?"

"The other day, Erchen went to study in the study room. Brother Dahuang said that he would have a companion when I went there. When the fourth brothers come again in the future, they must be closer. Brother Dahuang said that it was because they were all born to Concubine De. "Yinzhi replied earnestly. It could be seen that his mother's face was becoming more and more ugly. He couldn't help but cling to Lan Qi even more. Hearing the concubine De concubine ask him softly, "Did Yinzhi tell Yinzhen all these words yesterday?"

Yinzhi nodded, only to hear Concubine Rong sigh, Lan Qi's heart was pounding, and she asked the child, "What did Yinzhen tell you?"

"Yinzhen didn't seem to understand much, he was in a daze, and then we broke up after playing." Yinzhi still didn't know what he said wrong, but fortunately he was smart, and he could still remember clearly what happened yesterday.

Concubine Rong hurriedly asked: "Yinzhi, how did you tell Yinzhen? Then do you understand why Yinzhen was born by Empress De, but has been living in Chengqian Palace, calling her Imperial Concubine Empress Eriang?"

Yinzhi nodded timidly, not daring to look at his mother, but looked at Lan Qi and said, "Brother Dahuang said, just like his mother-in-law raised the eighth brother, the fourth brother was raised by the imperial concubine."

Lan Qi's expression changed, and she asked in a daze, "Did you tell Yinzhen the same?"

Looking at Lan Qi, Yinzhi was also a little scared, pursed his lips and said tremblingly: "I just said that he was raised by the imperial concubine."

"You..." Concubine Rong raised her hand and was about to hit her, but was stopped by Lan Qi. Yinzhi was terrified, and threw herself into Lan Qi's arms and wept. Not good, I also hooked Yin Zuo, and in the end the two little brothers left together, and this place was considered clean.

Concubine Rong said bitterly: "How did Concubine Hui teach such a son? Sure enough, the elder brother has horns on his head. I heard that he was disrespectful to the prince and insisted that the prince respect his elder brother. You bastard."

Lan Qi knew that Concubine Rong was in a hurry, otherwise she would not have said such serious words, if the imperial concubine got involved and made a fuss, she would definitely lose face.Over the years, no matter how other people have been ups and downs, Concubine Rong has always been safe, and now if she wants to lose face in this, Qu also dies.

"The fourth elder brother is so smart, he won't fail to understand Yinzhi's words. It depends on when he mentions it to the imperial concubine, and I will wait to make amends." No matter how noble she is, she is younger than her after all, and has less seniority than her. Thinking about being pointed and scolded by the imperial concubine in the future, who can be reconciled.

Lan Qi felt that she was intervening in this matter, whether she did not intervene or not, tracing back to the source, if she hadn't thought about sending the fourth elder brother to Chengqian Palace, what happened now, at least Concubine Rong was wronged, she should help; But if she really intervenes, she will pretend to be her biological mother, not to mention that the imperial concubine will be furious, and irrelevant people will also speculate on her thoughts, and she doesn't know what to say later.

Concubine Rong also thought a lot, and persuaded Lan Qi instead: "Even if the imperial concubine is really angry, it's just a few words on her lips, she can't do anything to me, don't get involved, she will hate you later. Compared with us People, she must be more wary of you in her heart, she was not forgiving when she gave birth to a child that day."

Lan Qi thought about it for a while, then came up with an idea and said: "It's not my fault that I rely on someone to back me up, I'll go talk to the Empress Dowager about this matter first, if the imperial concubine really wants to make trouble, let the Empress Dowager come forward. "

Concubine Rong felt that something was wrong, and waved her hands again and again: "Then she shouldn't blame you? Let's make the big thing smaller."

Lan Qi said calmly: "The empress dowager can definitely solve it properly. If there is any joke left about this matter, it will be the story that the child will be talked about for a lifetime in the future. I will regret it in the future."

After the two sisters discussed again and again, they asked Ji Xin to inquire about the movement in Chengqian Palace. After half an hour, he came back and said that nothing happened in Chengqian Palace. Have a meal.The two guessed that Yinzhen probably didn't mention it to the imperial concubine, so Concubine Rong gritted her teeth and went to Chengqian Palace alone, while Lan Qi went to Cining Palace.

Seeing Concubine Rong coming, the imperial concubine thought she was going to talk about something in the palace, so she dismissed it annoyedly: "Si elder brother is not feeling well today. You decide."

Concubine Rong's heart sank, and she knelt down in front of the imperial concubine, which made her ask strangely: "What's wrong?"

When the imperial concubine was stunned and listened to Concubine Rong's story about Yinzhi telling Yinzhen about her biological mother and adoptive mother, she was too angry to say a word. With a low sob, she raised her eyes a little, and it was indeed the imperial concubine who was weeping.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Rong didn't know what to say for a while, she repeatedly said that she would go back and teach the third elder brother a good lesson, but before she could finish her words, the imperial concubine got up and walked away. Concubine Rong looked at her in a dazed state. There is no telling when it will fall.

The imperial concubine walked slowly to Yinzhen's room. The fourth elder brother was lying on the table writing in a decent manner. The little guy's hands are not strong enough at the moment, and the writing is not good. Praising him as better than his brothers when they were young, father and son put their hands together to write, and Yinzhen complained mischievously, saying that his mother taught him that his handwriting was ugly, but the emperor said to his son: "Your mother's handwriting is very good."

Thinking back to those words at this moment, the imperial concubine smiled wryly in her heart. At that time, did Xuan Ye's "Your mother" refer to her or Wu Yalanqi?I haven't written much in front of the emperor, and they have never talked about it, and the woman who writes at home every now and then, isn't Wu Yalanqi?

"Er Niang." Seeing his mother coming, Yinzhen put down his pen and climbed down from the chair, and said obediently, "Er Niang, I just ate a bowl of porridge, and I wanted to eat because I was hungry. Eat obediently, don't be greedy for snacks."

The imperial concubine looked down at her son, who was struggling to raise his face to look at herself, and opened his hands as if wanting to hug, the imperial concubine scolded: "Emiang can't hug you much now, Yinzhen has grown up. "

The child immediately showed a look of disappointment, and slowly lowered his raised hand, but suddenly hugged his mother. The imperial concubine couldn't help shaking, and the son said: "Yinzhen has grown up, and Yinzhen is here!" Hug my mother, from now on Yinzhen will hug my mother."

She burst into tears with just one word, Yinzhen raised his head again, and seeing his mother crying, he was terrified and didn't know what to do. He only waited for the imperial concubine to squat down and look at her before he choked up and said, "Er Niang, don't cry, little girl!" My sister is gone, and Erchen will accompany Erniang."

As far as the child is concerned, it is common to see his mother crying recently, because he is sad because of the loss of his little sister. He still doesn't understand the sadness of death, but in those days when the imperial concubine cried, he would cry together as long as he was in front of him.

"Yinzhen, Er Niang asked you, what did the third elder brother say to you yesterday, do you still remember?" The imperial concubine smiled in tears, she knew that this was an inevitable thing, but she just couldn't be reconciled, just couldn't bear it , Yinzhen belongs to her, whether he was born by Wu Yalanqi or someone else, it belongs to her alone.

The child with tears in his eyes was stunned, his red lips were tightly pursed, and he gradually lowered his head, and big teardrops also fell from his eyes. Obviously, he had something on his mind to make him uncomfortable as soon as possible, and this child probably already understood.

The imperial concubine held her son's cheeks in both hands, and asked again: "Tell Er Niang, what did San elder brother say to you?"

Yinzhen finally cried out, took a few steps back, shook his head and said, "Third brother is a liar, I don't believe it. Er Niang, third brother is a liar, right?"

The imperial concubine closed her eyes in despair, opened them again after a long time, and said word by word in a heartbroken voice: "He didn't lie to you, Yinzhen is different from the little sister, you were not born by Erniang with her belly stretched out for ten months, It was Empress Defei who gave birth to you, just like Yin Zuo, Empress Defei is your mother-in-law."

"No, no." Yinzhen rushed over to hug his mother, choked up with tears, and tried hard to speak inarticulately, "Yinzhen don't leave Er Niang, Er Niang don't send me away."

"Fool, you are not going anywhere." The imperial concubine couldn't tell whether she was sad because of this, or was moved by her son's affection for her, and she couldn't stop crying, "Although Erniang didn't give birth to you, since you are still a grandma Raising you since you were a baby, Erniang will take care of Yinzhen for the rest of her life, watching you grow up and becoming as heroic as your father. At that time, Yinzhen will really be able to hug Erniang, but ah, then You must be annoyed by the old woman, Eniang, and you are going to hug a wife, right?"

Yinzhen was sobbing: "My son doesn't want a daughter-in-law, but a mother-in-law."

Tong Yan was innocent and simple, the imperial concubine laughed through her tears, but she laughed and cried with the child in her arms, it took a long time to see peace, and she asked her son: "Did Yinzhen understand what the third elder brother and Er Niang said? Later, Great Grandmother, Emperor Grandmother, and Huang Ama will all come to ask you, if they ask you, what do you say?"
