Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Mrs. Bugui brought a plate of preserved fruit, picked a piece of minced peach meat and handed it to Lan Qi. She looked at it, shook her head and turned her face away, and said softly, "If your mouth is bitter, your heart will not be bitter."

"Although I feel sorry for you, I also know that if you talk about suffering, how many people outside the Yonghe Palace will not be convinced, and how many people's lives will be difficult." Bu Guiren sighed, "Your Majesty Luan Yue'an has been ill for a while. There are quite a few snobbish eyes in the imperial hospital, who shirk that they are busy with several concubines waiting to give birth, so they don’t go to see it wholeheartedly. It’s a pity that a person is very sick, and it’s the maid beside her who can’t do anything, so she comes to beg sister Dai. You know she is a A kind-hearted person can still ask Concubine Duan to find a way regardless of previous suspicions, that's why the imperial doctor went to check the pulse and prescribe medicine, and sister Dai went to see her once, and when she came back, she sighed and talked about this moment and that moment."

Lan Qi smiled wryly: "Sister, look at me again, cough a little, and the hospital heard it, staring and holding each one, for fear of any mistakes. Yes, if I say that life is hard, how many people in the palace will have to live?" Can't go down? But sister, I feel really uncomfortable today."

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Mrs. Bu Gui said distressedly, "I'm not letting you say it. If you are unhappy, it will be better if you say it."

"I don't know what's wrong, I'm in a panic, I'm better than others in everything, the emperor treats me well, the empress dowager treats me well, I have sons and daughters, what am I not satisfied with? But I just... ..." Lan Qi spoke with sobs, and twitched while lying in Bu Guiren's arms. Bu Guiren gently stroked her back and wanted her to be smooth, but she said helplessly, "In the eyes of others, you are so flawless. , and who knows the hard work behind you. I just look at you in glory, sometimes so dazzling that even I can't get close, Lan Qi, isn't this called being overwhelmed by heights?"

With tears on Lan Qi's face, she looked up at Bu Guiren, and Bu Guiren said gently: "I remember Concubine Yi was sitting in front of the gate of Ningshou Palace and crying, saying that she wanted to see Fifth Elder Brother. Going to kneel and beg, making the empress dowager angry, but do you dare, do you dare to do such a shameless thing? Whether it is good for the emperor or the empress dowager, can you let go? I often think, no It's just that we look at you as perfect, and you may be perfect in the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager. You must know that you must be well-behaved, gentle, and virtuous in front of the emperor, and you can't do anything to trouble the emperor, but you How can you truly cover everything without superficiality? So you can only be patient, even if you encounter something you don’t want to do, for the sake of the overall situation, you are willing to be wronged. You used to be truly gentle and virtuous, but now gradually, you are also You’re starting to act gentle and virtuous on purpose, aren’t you?”

"Really?" Lan Qi was stunned, whispering the words of Bu Guiren, as if she had relieved the depression in her heart. At least this time, she was very reluctant to send her daughter to Ningshou Palace, but she She still agreed to the Empress Dowager and Xuan Ye, and said generously and sensiblely that she would send the child away after birth, but none of her words were sincere.

Thinking about it again, even though she made the queen mother happy because she said something impulsively at that time, it was said that she was afraid that the queen mother would be unhappy, so she settled this matter, but in fact, she can still fight for herself, but the queen mother A word from the Queen Mother, a word from Xuan Ye, and she couldn't help being the gentle and virtuous Wu Yalanqi, and forcibly killed her original intentions. Now, what's the point of regretting and being sad now?

"Although we are still young, we are not the little girls we used to be after all." Mrs. Bu smiled, reaching out to wipe away Lan Qi's tears, "Sometimes people will inevitably do things against their will, such as saying that the women in the palace are sent to Welcome, how many times have we not been polite? Besides, if you want to live a prosperous life in the palace, how can it be so easy. Just look at the imperial concubine, you don’t even remember it, right? When you were always there and you had to be spoiled, she was so jealous that she was crazy, and tossed you openly, but secretly threatened me with Duanjing to harm you. So many years have passed in a flash, the current imperial concubine, There are two people at all. Think about it, seeing the Empress Dowager tied her hands, how will she live like that? Of course, it needs to be flexible, and it is also normal for us to be flexible sometimes. .”

Lan Qi's heart calmed down, she burst into tears and said with a smile: "My sister is much better now than before, she can say so many things to explain me."

Bu Guiren laughed: "The Zhongcui Palace is very lively, and the concubine Duan is very popular. People often come to the door, and the women gather together to gossip. I mostly learned from them here."

Lan Qi seemed to be in a better mood. The nobleman asked the maid to bring water to wash her face, and after cleaning up, he handed over candied fruit. She only ate some now. The nobleman laughed at her: "Don't dare to cry during the confinement period. It's going to break your eyes."

"Stop crying, live a good life, why am I crying?" Lan Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "I know, I care too much about the feelings of the emperor and the empress dowager, and what I got in front of me I always feel grateful for everything, and I feel that I am capable, and I want to do better without knowing it, so as not to cause them any trouble. Rather than doing something against my will, it is better to say that I am used to facing it like this, and I always feel that I It shouldn’t and can’t go against them.”

"But there will always be things you don't want to do in your heart, I guess..." Bu Guiren asked softly, "Send the princess to Ningshou Palace, whether it was your idea or not, you knew it in advance, right?"

Lan Qi nodded, and the nobleman smiled wryly: "That's right, we all said that the emperor must have discussed with you why he treated you like that."

"So what if we discussed it, anyway, I am reluctant, but I can only say this to you, sister." Lan Qi curled up, her face full of helplessness, "I want to fight again, if I am determined not to agree , the emperor will obey me, but I am afraid that he will think that I am not good, and it is this kind of mentality that makes me feel panicked."

Bugui smiled and said: "This kind of mentality is right. What have you not done in these years? Don't forget that being with you is like being with a tiger."

Lan Qi was shocked all over, wasn't she?Close the door and pull up the curtains, she and Xuan Ye are sons and daughters, they are a young couple who can laugh and fight, but there is a big problem, even if he just walks out of the door of this bedroom, he is the supreme emperor.

"They all said that sooner or later you will have to take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. To say something disrespectful, you are not allowed to touch it now, but because you are required to serve the Empress Dowager. After the old man returns to Yaochi, you must not be able to shirk it, otherwise Why did the Empress Dowager cultivate you so meticulously?" Bu Guiren said very seriously, "You see that Concubine Rong is so busy now, when the time comes, you must be too busy to think about these things at all."

Lan Qi just laughed, thinking in her heart that what Xuan Ye gave her was not only love, but also responsibility, if the matter of her daughter was attributed to the responsibility, it would seem to make her feel better.

Two days later, after the taboo days in the delivery room, Xuan Ye came to visit Lan Qi, and stayed with her for two or three hours. After coaxing, all the unhappy things were left out of the blue sky, as if he was destined to be eaten to death by Xuan Ye, as long as he saw his smile, he could not care about anything.

The little princess Xisan was in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Xuan Ye also came over in person after seeing Lan Qi. The queen mother loved her granddaughter and kept praising her for being beautiful and cute. The forehead is as beautiful as the mother.After the ceremony, the Empress Dowager said that she would take the child to show Lan Qi, but the Empress Dowager said that the child was too young not to carry it around, it would not be too late after the confinement, but when the Empress Dowager left, Xuan Ye would also say goodbye At that time, the Empress Dowager kept him and asked: "You sent your daughter to Ningshou Palace just to prevent her from marrying far away in the future?"

Xuan Ye's eyes were a little surprised and embarrassed by being seen through, but he immediately smiled, "No matter how grandson is, he will never be as smart as the emperor's grandmother."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's not my mind, it's my love for my children."

Xuan Ye bowed his head and said: "Because of his unfilial thoughts, grandson doesn't want to mention it, even if he doesn't need to explain it clearly to Lan Qi, grandson just needs to understand it in his heart."

"Xuan Ye." The empress dowager pulled the emperor to her side, and asked him with a smile, "Do you just like Lan Qi that much? Did the imperial grandmother pick the wrong person for you?"

Xuan Ye smiled proudly: "Lan Qi was chosen by my grandson himself, but if you didn't agree back then, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. What the emperor's grandmother asked was that my grandson likes her. Now, regardless of status or gold, silver and jewelry, I don't care about giving it to her, I just hope that she will be safe and stay with me for the rest of my life."

Grandma Su Mala was also listening to what the grandfather and grandson said, but she didn't quite understand it. She only waited for the emperor to leave before the empress dowager said to her: "Xuanye must be afraid that after a hundred years, the empress dowager will become the queen mother." She is the most honorable person in the palace, but you know, she is a person with no backbone, and she may have been provoked and tempted to change her mind. She was not proud when she was a queen, and she has always been a daughter-in-law. I know if there is any resentment in my heart, the fifth elder brother is the son of Concubine Yi after all, maybe she and Concubine Yi will be fine in the future. Sending Lan Qi's daughter over now, she and Lan Qi will have a bond, even if I go to the harem The weather has changed, for the sake of the princess, at least the queen mother will not have any estrangement with Lan Qi, Xuan Ye thinks very long-term."

Aunt Su Mala smiled and said, "Don't worry about the Empress Dowager. Both of you feel sorry for each other. If you have this kind of thought, it will last for a long time." , I had a great time with the fourth elder brother, I don’t know what the Concubine De concubine said to the child that day, the fourth elder brother became lively again, and the imperial concubine was also happy."

The old man liked to hear this, and asked Su Mala to bring the two children to accompany her.Speaking of the sixth elder brother who likes to cling to the fourth elder brother, there are so many brothers and sisters, as if they are connected by blood. , all three sentences are inseparable from my brother.

This day, while greeting Lan Qi, he was waiting for the imperial concubine to take him to Ningshou Palace to see his little sister. The imperial concubine arrived when the mother and son were talking. Talking to my brother, Yinzhen scolded him: "Why are you always rude, you have to salute first when you see my mother-in-law, how many times have I taught you?"
