Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The so-called superiority, these few nobles are often there, because they are a little bit favored by the emperor, they are allowed to go on tour with them. Compared with other people who entered the palace at the same age or a few years older, it is not too much to think of themselves as extraordinary, they must not realize it The old relationship between Zen and Nalan Rongruo is just that the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention.

But Lan Qi raised her eyes to see Chan, she was as calm and composed as calm water, completely different from the appearance of being trapped by love in the past, seeing Lan Qi looking at her, she even smiled lightly, indicating that she didn't care.

Lan Qi wanted to say: "That's the best, you should live a good life for yourself." But she didn't say it. She regretted the sentence that your love was too humble. Where did she get her confidence and courage? Want to point the country in other people's lives.

Over the years, she has gradually realized that she should not use the world in her own eyes to deny the existence and pursuit of others. Others never live for themselves, and deny others without authorization, so she is complacent about it. She is the one who loves the humble and insignificant.Obeying the rules of etiquette and denying others without authorization are two different things.

"It is often said in the book that in the land of the south of the Yangtze River, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Now it is just a glimpse of the scenery, which is already pleasing to the eye." Lan Qi's words were gentle, and if she didn't mention Nalan Rong, if she didn't mention Shen Wan's private house, she smiled. Zhuo Yujuechan said, "Don't you feel that the more you go down, the skin becomes stretched and tender. At this time of the year, if Huanchun and the others in the palace don't take good care of themselves, they will start to crack."

Seeing Concubine De's behavior like this, Jue Chan felt more at ease, and walked slowly with her, talking about the climate, water and soil, and all the women in the south of the Yangtze River were beautiful, and Concubine De joked with her: "We also have a lot of beautiful women in the north." Beauty, you are one of the nobles of Jue Chan. The water and soil of various places nourish the beauty of all places, but it is a land of wind, flowers, snow and moon in the south of the Yangtze River. The literati recite poems and do right things. It’s okay to give you a good name, but we are not inferior."

The atmosphere between the two was very good, Concubine Rong and Concubine Tong saw it, and came to ask what they were joking about, after that, the four of them sat opposite each other for a drink, admiring the river view and the moonlight, very pleasant.

Afterwards, the itinerary continued, and everyone followed the emperor to visit the beautiful scenery. The imperial concubine was indeed much more energetic than when she first set off. Her body seemed to have adapted to the exhaustion of running around day and night, and she could accompany the emperor everywhere. Rubbing the sand in her eyes would naturally make the imperial concubine feel better.

In the twinkling of an eye, on October 26th, the large army arrived in Suzhou and stationed in Suzhou Weaving Mansion. This stay will last for several days. It is planned to transfer to Jiangning in November, so that everyone with them can rest in peace.

The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, and there are many literati. Since the Manchus are the masters of the Han people, they must appease the gentry, attract the hearts of the people, understand public opinion, and control the situation.The Weaving Department in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the emperor's informant and eyes and ears. The three major weaving companies in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou, Jiangning, and Hangzhou, can directly submit secret documents to the emperor, and send various information about people's livelihood, including precipitation, harvest, etc. Constantly sent to the Forbidden City.

Now that Shengjia is visiting for the first time in person, he needs to learn more about the local economy and politics, and visit the reputation of paradise on earth. He has to stay in Suzhou for a few days, which is already within the scheduled itinerary. But if you stay for a long time, you have to be prepared for some things.

At the beginning of the day, the female relatives rested in their respective residences. After Lan Qi washed and changed clothes, she went to pick up Yinzuo from the imperial concubine. This child has been clinging to his fourth brother all the way. Lan Qi also has a sense of propriety in disturbing the imperial concubine all the time.

At this moment, they brought Huanchun Ziyu and a few people over, and when they arrived at the door, they heard a man's voice inside, and the maid greeted her and asked Defei Empress to come in and say it's okay, and when she entered the hall, she saw a veil screen in the middle , In front of the screen, a minister in court clothes knelt down, the court lady walked around the screen to meet Lan Qi, she saluted the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine asked her to sit aside.

"Qi Guochen, who weaves in Suzhou, kowtows to the concubine, the empress is a thousand years old and Jin'an." Outside the screen, the minister saluted again, and Lan Qi calmly said: "My lord, please forgive me."

After finishing speaking, I glanced at the imperial concubine sitting on the seat, I don't know who has offended the imperial concubine, and she was happy all the way here, but now she has a tigerish face, and after glancing at Lan Qi impatiently, she said coldly: " Before the trip, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager gave instructions to my palace and concubines, the journey to the south is long, and the horses and horses will inevitably be exhausted. Everything should be done with the emperor's dragon body as the most important thing, and there must be no mistakes. For now, drink and drink at your own discretion. The servants brought from the palace, and the idlers from your place, don’t have to enter.”

"I obey the order." Lord Qi kowtowed again outside the screen, respectfully daring not to speak.

"More..." The imperial concubine gently raised her hand. The slender armor was inlaid with crystal clear broken jade gemstones. Every time she moved, it shone with dazzling light, as if it could penetrate the screen and shock the people outside. She smiled coldly He said, "All the way here, I have seen the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and I saw that whether it is a peasant woman working in the field or a girl wandering on the side of the road, they are really beautiful and beautiful. After all, one side of the water and soil supports the other side. It is you Suzhou people who are outstanding."

It was quiet outside, the lord probably knew what the imperial concubine was going to say, and didn't know whether to answer, so everything fell silent at the moment, Lan Qi felt that someone was staring at her, and when she turned her face, she saw the imperial concubine winking at her, As if she was asked to continue, Lan Qi's heart skipped a beat, regretting that she had known earlier that she had sent Huan Chun to fetch Yin Zuo.

But the imperial concubine winked again, as if she was bound to speak, she could only calm down and said solemnly: "In order to understand the people's sentiments, the emperor has to pay private visits with all the adults. I hope that my lord will protect the holy car and not cause any damage." Lan Qi paused, and finally said those embarrassing words, "Anyone who leads the holy car to the place of fireworks......"

"I don't dare." Without waiting for Concubine De to speak, Lord Qi kowtowed and said repeatedly, "I will definitely protect the safety of the emperor when he travels, please rest assured, Empress and Concubine De."

Master Qi naturally did not dare to say whether he would go to the place of fireworks, the two ladies said it was breaking the rules, he had to know it in his heart but he couldn't say it out loud, the seats were all smart people, and he didn't Will chase him to ask him to promise something.

"Retire." The imperial concubine is indeed not so stupid as to insist on a promise from the lord. The stomachs of these ministers who surround the emperor are not as big as they are, and they can understand a few words, and the imperial concubine herself I also understand that her superfluous exhortations are just to alert them. If the emperor really wants to ask for flowers, they will not stop them. As long as the emperor looks at them, they can figure out what the emperor is going to do.

Master Qi retreated tremblingly, and after walking away, the maids of honor came to remove the screen, the imperial concubine stood up and stretched her tired muscles, and said to Lan Qi: "I have already passed on the troupe, tomorrow I will watch the play across the water, everyone said The show here is good, I’ve been looking forward to it all the way.”

Lan Qi reluctantly agreed with a smile, and said that she would take the sixth elder brother back. The imperial concubine seemed satisfied with what Concubine De said just now, so she said generously: "The two brothers can't do without each other now, you take Yinzuo away He must be crying, bring Yinzhen over there too, my place will be clean for two days."

This fell into Lan Qi's heart. After thanking her for her kindness, she wanted to leave. The imperial concubine stopped her and asked, "What you said just now was really the empress dowager's order? The empress dowager told you in private that the emperor should not be allowed to go. The place of fireworks?"

Lan Qi smiled awkwardly: "The concubine feels that if it reaches the emperor's ears, the emperor will not blame the empress or the concubine for being troublesome. When I gave the lecture, I probably meant the same thing, the concubine just sorted out those words, so it's not considered deceitful."

The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled with satisfaction: "You are smart and courageous, so I dare not bring out the empress dowager. Since you said this, I don't know anything about it."

Lan Qi agreed on the face, but smiled wryly in her heart, and thought to herself: It doesn't matter, everyone is the same, anyway, I don't want Xuan Ye to go to the brothel, even Shen Wan's kind of showman does not sell himself, and he is not worthy of being close to the emperor. .

But at this moment, someone from the emperor's side happened to come over, and both of them were taken aback, thinking that the emperor knew about it, but they just said that the emperor was going to send something to the palace, and asked the empresses if they wanted to send something to the emperor For the Empress Dowager, the imperial concubine sent Qinglian to prepare, while Lan Qi had already prepared meticulously by herself. After taking Yinzuo and Yinzhen back, she asked Huanchun to send the things and letters to the front.

And Huan Chun came back not long after, and told the master with a smile: "The emperor seems to have gone out, there is a mysterious look ahead, and this slave thinks that the emperor must not be inside."

Lan Qi immediately pouted her lips in displeasure, wrapped her handkerchief tightly between her fingers, and muttered sourly: "I don't say a word when I go out, who knows where I'm going, so I'm not afraid of people worrying? If he really wants to go there Kind of place, don't even think about sleeping in my bed again."

Huan Chun laughed at her: "It's been a long time since I've lived in Zhenjiang, master's vinegar hasn't been finished yet?"

Just kidding, no woman wants to have such a thing, if Lan Qi pretends to be fine, she will think it is fake, but fortunately, the sons are cute and smart, so I can teach her to comfort her to some extent.

On the same day, something was delivered to the Forbidden City, so naturally the journey was a few days slower, and it was still something brought back from the previous stops.But because the schedule had already been fixed, the Empress Dowager looked at the letter and said to Aunt Su Mala: "It's time to go to Suzhou?" She then told Aunt Su Mala, "Don't tell them about my illness. , What's the use of them being anxious, they will only spoil the fun."

Naturally, the Empress Dowager just felt the cold occasionally, not a major symptom, she will recover after a few days of care, and at this moment, a few empresses are notified to pay their respects, the Empress Dowager feels that they will inevitably be wronged by being left behind, so it will be even more annoying if she ignores them Feeling cold, Xuan came in to see everyone, and asked Aunt Su Mala to distribute the things sent by the emperor to them.

Right now Concubine Wen, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Xi came to pay their respects. They probably knew that the emperor had sent something back and wanted to see what happened.It was rare that the Empress Dowager was willing to receive them, and the people did not dare to chatter about the old man's rest, they just said a few words casually, and then Aunt Su Mala distributed things to them.

But after all, it was a happy thing. Concubine Hui brought the eighth elder brother here again. The children were tired of the grandma's milky voice and laughed a few words from time to time. What's the matter with you?"

Everyone followed the prestige, but seeing Concubine Wen Gui's expression was very pale, she responded with a smile: "What's wrong? I..." But before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she fell heavily from the chair.
