Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Yi said such words, but she didn't know that Baoyun was following Concubine Hui, which made Concubine Hui very embarrassed, so she said coldly: "Little sister, take care of yourself, I have to take care of elder brother in the next few days, and I can't come to see you. What's the matter for Tao Hong to come to me." She didn't mention anything about Concubine Wen Gui, and left with a straight face.

Taohong saw off the guests before she came back and said: "Master said those words just now. The servants see that Concubine Hui must be looking after Baoyun by her side, so they can't pay attention to you. Concubine Hui always wants to take care of Baoyun."

Concubine Yi really didn't think of this, but she didn't care, she just asked the wet nurse to show Brother Jiu to her, and said happily: "I have children who have everything to do, I don't care what they do." But she couldn't help but say With emotion, "I don't even know what Yinqi looked like when he was a child, and I haven't hugged him for a day. Do you think Yinqi will know that he has a brother in the future?"

Tao Hong said: "Of course I will understand, master doesn't know, Si elder brother already knows that his biological mother is Empress Defei."

Concubine Yi did not mention this matter, so she hurriedly asked Tao Hong carefully, Tao Hong only heard about it in the past two days, so she didn't know the details, there were all kinds of legends in the palace, but Cheng Qian Palace was safe and sound. , It seems that nothing happened, but I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and it is said that the fourth elder brother hasn't gone out for a long time.

"After all, my luck is no worse than Wu Ya's." Concubine Yi snorted, "In the past, she had two sons, and she was more proud than anyone else, but now I have two sons, no matter what, Yinqi is still mine. Does she dare to ask for Si elder brother?"

Tao Hong doesn't say a word, this point of pride is not too much, let Yi Fei be happy for a while.

A few days later, the Emperor came to Yikun Palace to visit Concubine Yi's mother and son. After all, it was his son, Xuan Ye had no reason to be unhappy. Brother Nine bestowed the name Yinzhen and rewarded Concubine Yi with numerous jewels, which made her seem like a spoiled concubine.The six palaces all envied her good fortune, and then waited to see what happened to the Yonghe Palace. Concubine De's birth was also very stable. If she got a boy again, she would have three children in a row, and she would truly be in the limelight.

In contrast, the Xianfu Palace is always neglected. The emperor was busy giving lectures a few days ago, and these days he always went to see Concubine Yi, and occasionally went to accompany Concubine De. Concubine Wen was in this palace. As a dispensable person, no concubine would take the initiative to come to see her on weekdays, and the days were spent at home looking at Dongyun and the others' faces.

The nobleman Juechan came to accompany him occasionally, and Concubine Wen always said something to complain about. Today, she even came to Juechan with her stomach full, and asked her painfully: "Did the emperor forget me? You told me not to make a fuss, I listened, but if I don't bother, he won't remember me at all, what should I do to make him like me."

Jue Chan knew that Concubine Wen knew everything in her heart, but she didn't give up, others could only accompany her to toss, patiently persuading: "My lady, if you survive this period, the emperor will know your character. If you are in a hurry, what should you do?" What would the emperor think about such absurd things? Look at Concubine Yi, she hasn't seen much in the past few months, the most important thing is to have a good pregnancy."

Concubine Wen just sobbed: "Compared with the child, I want him to visit me from time to time. What's the point of having a child without him?"

But under the comfort of Jue Chan and Dong Yun, Concubine Wen gritted her teeth no matter how painful she was, and did not dare to do anything eye-catching, for fear that the emperor would misunderstand that she was favoring him. Fortunately, the emperor did not really ignore him. One or two concerns and condolences were enough to support her until the day of delivery.

In the blink of an eye, it is September, the Double Ninth Festival respects the elderly, and the palace is full of excitement. Elder brothers and princesses kowtow to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion, and the fourth elder brother who has not shown up for a long time also came today, just blindly following Around the imperial concubine, the brothers and sisters who are usually affectionate are not as active as before, and even a little bit repulsive.

The empress dowager saw it, and called him to come to her, and asked him some kind words, but she didn't mention those things, and the fourth elder brother gradually became more cheerful, and some sisters of Duanjing came to take him to play, and the children accompanied him gone.

But because the other concubines were also there, the Empress Dowager couldn't say anything to the imperial concubine, so she wanted to ask her a few words after everyone had dispersed.Not long after, Huanchun and the wet nurse brought the sixth elder brother to kowtow, saying that Concubine De felt too lazy to move and could not come in person. , the elders rewarded Yin Zuo with something, and asked him to find his older brothers and sisters to play.

Today, many princes Fujin outside the palace also came to pay their respects. Aunt Su Mala prepared exquisite refreshments. Everyone sat and chatted. It was very happy, and the palace just got a little prince. With the birth, a lot of good things are going on, and everyone's face is beaming.When he was talking happily, he could faintly hear the crying of the children. The children would inevitably play together. They would have sent a few nuns to take a look, but they saw the fourth elder brother running back suddenly, and ran straight to the imperial concubine , took mother's hand and said, "Er Niang, let's go back."

The fourth elder brother had a clean face, and he was not the one who cried, but he pestered the imperial concubine to leave regardless, and the imperial concubine had no choice but to say goodbye to the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and hurriedly took her son back .

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward, everyone could see that the Empress Dowager was unhappy, they winked at each other, and they all left one after another after a while.

Seeing the sudden emptiness in front of the door, and the tea and snacks at the table hadn't moved much, the Empress Dowager hummed sadly: "It's better to be quiet."

The Empress Dowager was at the side to comfort her: "They also see that you are not very happy, and they are afraid that they will make you angry here. The Empress Dowager calms down, and the concubines go to ask the children what's going on."

As soon as the voice fell, the crying gradually approached, and saw the sixth elder brother being led in by Madam Su Mala, the little guy ran and threw himself into the arms of the great grandmother, Mama Su Mala followed slowly and said: "Slave servant!" I asked the princesses what was going on, and they said they had a good time. After the sixth elder brother came, he kept chasing the fourth elder brother to talk, but the fourth elder brother always avoided him, and finally pushed him away. The sixth elder brother fell on the ground. I just cried on the ground. There is nothing unhappy about it, the children don’t fight or grab, the sixth elder brother just wants to cling to the fourth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother refuses to pay attention."

The queen mother sighed: "If Lan Qi knew, she would be so distressed. Well, what's the matter, could it be that the imperial concubine instigated it?"

The Empress Dowager signaled the Empress Dowager to stop talking, and patted Yinzuo in her arms to coax him, the little guy was so wronged, he cried for a long time and said to his great grandmother: "The fourth brother doesn't like me now, and the fourth brother doesn't play with Yinzuo anymore. "

"Who wouldn't like Yinzuo, Yinzuo is so good, Yinzuo listened to my great-grandmother, you are a boy, boys can't just cry..." The old grandmother comforted her kindly, without mentioning who was right and who was wrong , Little by little, he took the topic away, diverted the child's attention, and ordered the princess brothers to be brought again, and they will stay with her for dinner today, except that there is no need to invite the fourth elder brother.

When Yinzuo went to play happily with his brothers and sisters again, the Empress Dowager showed a somewhat gloomy expression. The Empress Dowager asked softly, "Do you want to find the imperial concubine alone?"

"We said that she may not be convinced, let the emperor ask." The empress dowager sighed, and then asked Madam Su Mala, "Later, you will personally send Yinzuo back to the Yonghe Palace, and say a few words to Lan Qi, don't let me go. It made her feel uncomfortable, Yinzhen is the one who is most uncomfortable now, and if the grown-ups continue to make fun of her, things will get even more troublesome."

When Aunt Su Mala sent Sixth Brother back at night, Lan Qi had already heard a little bit about the Palace of Compassion, and when she saw that Aunt Su Mala came to explain to her in person, she also asked Aunt Su Mala to report back to the Empress Dowager, saying that she didn't care. After all, this matter is nothing in the eyes of adults, but no one knows what the child is thinking. Right now Yinzhen is the one who is injured, and she will patiently wait for the child to untie his knot.

In Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine sat blankly by the bed and looked at the sleeping fourth elder brother. After the mother and son came back, she didn't ask what happened to her son in the Compassionate Ning Palace. Instead, Qinglian came back to tell her after some inquiries. I also guessed that it should be Yinzhen and Yinzuo who had a conflict.

"Your Majesty, you should also take a rest. The servants will take good care of the fourth elder brother." Qing Lian came to persuade the dazed master, the imperial concubine was slightly distracted, and asked after a while, "Where is the emperor?"

"In Qianqing Palace, the emperor didn't turn his cards around tonight." Qinglian replied, then said after a pause, "Slaves shouldn't talk too much, but it's not good for fourth elder brother to be like this. You didn't say anything, but the outsiders treated you like that." You taught it."

"That can't be helped. They point at me and make irresponsible remarks, which is better than saying that brother Si is not good." The imperial concubine sighed, got up and helped Qinglian to walk back, "I have said everything that needs to be said, this child has a heart. I don't know where the knot is, I have said eight hundred times that I will never send him away, but he still looks like he is always on guard against being sent away by me, what should I say?"

In fact, Qinglian had an idea in her heart, but she didn't dare to mention it. After serving the master to wash and change clothes, she heard her sighing, and she was moved for a moment, so she boldly said, "Have you ever thought about letting the empress de concubine talk to the fourth elder brother?"

The imperial concubine suddenly looked at her, her eyes widened, Qinglian jumped in surprise, then lowered her head and said, "Slaves deserve to die, but empress, right now we have nothing else to do?"

The imperial concubine is very unwilling, but she knows that in the long run, it will not be good for the child or her. If Yinzhen changes his temperament, he will definitely not be able to achieve anything with his current appearance. At that time, she and the emperor will also be at odds because of this. If she intervenes and even wants to take away the fourth elder brother, who else can make the decision for her.

"My maidservant said something that shouldn't be said. If you are willing to handle this matter with Empress Defei, the Emperor will be happy." Qinglian persuaded again and again, "Put down some airs, and Empress Defei will definitely appreciate you."

"Okay." The imperial concubine interrupted Qinglian angrily. Qinglian thought it was over, but who knew that the master told her, "In a few days, you go to invite Concubine De and say that we met in the imperial garden by chance. If she comes or I go, Yinzhen will be wary, let's meet in the imperial garden, I will lead Yinzhen to play, let her watch us go, and follow us."
