Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Take the tea that Mrs. Qi sent yesterday, and the nobleman Juechan and I will taste it." Lan Qi ordered Huanchun to serve tea, let the nurses take care of the children, and came forward by herself, Juechan was already waiting in the hall, seeing She was thin, so she smiled and said, "Jiangnan feels no colder than our north, but when there is no sun, there is a chill in your bones. Don't be careless."

Jue Chan thanked her, and after saluting, she sat up and down separately. Lan Qi asked again: "How is Xiang He? It's not a joke to fall into the water at this time. Do you have a fever?"

"She's in good health. She's fine after a night's sleep. The concubine will pay more attention, and she has already taught her not to be so reckless." Jue Chan lowered her face and pursed her lips after saying this, obviously there was something wrong with her. What I want to say, but I dare not say it.

Huanchun brought tea, Lan Qi winked at her, Huanchun led everyone down, and she said again: "If Xianghe is not healthy, you can't have no one to follow you. There are many people who follow me here. You Just pick one."

Jue Chan hurriedly said: "The concubine is fine, and Xianghe is fine. Such a joke last night has already embarrassed the emperor and the ladies. After all, it is too shameful to live in the minister's mansion."

Lan Qi lowered her head and smiled: "Little girl is playful, no one will laugh at it, but if it's something else, if someone with a heart sees it, they don't know what to spread."

Jue Chan suddenly raised her head and stared closely at Concubine De's eyes, as if she wanted to see something from her eyes, but she was calm and calm and didn't reveal anything, so she finally had no choice but to say: "Mother, what is the concubine's concubine last night?" When I ran into Mr. Nalan by chance, nothing happened, I didn't even say anything, and what happened to Xiang He was even more unexpected."

"I thought your heart was calm." Lan Qi smiled lightly and comforted her, "I have been watching how you are this year, and I can't control your heart, but no one can find fault with your words and deeds, I know You will never do anything to embarrass the emperor."

But Jue Chan shook his head: "The past and the past have given up my mind, but people are alive, and my concubine can't treat him as non-existent. Even if what happened last night was nothing, he might be hated by the emperor. Madam, this It's not worth it."

"If Nalan Rong is capable of writing and martial arts, and is about the same age as the emperor, if he really gets along with his concubines, the emperor will definitely not tolerate him, but chasing rumors and falsehoods will not shake the emperor's heart of cherishing talents, you can rest assured. "Lan Qi's face was calm, but Jue Chan's face was very lost in comparison.

"The concubine has given up. In the days to come, I will live a good life for myself. You have seen through the concubine a few years ago. You are a cowardly person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Jue Chan smiled coldly, "But if you want to live for yesterday If something that didn't happen in the evening makes any waves, the concubine will really feel that if he comes to this world, he will be punished by heaven."

Lan Qi shook her head slightly, sighing that Chan was not giving up at all, but she didn't want to point it out, she just said softly: "I shouldn't listen to your words at all, and I don't like to hear them, I can't tolerate those around the emperor. People have different intentions, especially for you. But since you are willing to live a good life and live in a dignified way like in the palace before, I should also be kind to others. The emperor didn't take what happened last night to heart, Lord Nalan will not be affected , as long as you continue to live in peace and contentment, and avoid some things you shouldn't touch."

Jue Chan's whole body relaxed, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly left his seat and knelt down to thank Lan Qi, Lan Qi only smiled: "You continue to live well for yourself, it is a compliment to the emperor. Repaying your kindness, I just want to tell you a few words. I am not the one who is in charge of life and death. Tonight, I will accompany the emperor on a trip, so please drive with me openly, dress up nicely, and let people see, it’s not just the Jiangnan women who love it Peerless."

A few days passed by in Suzhou. On the first day of November, Shengjia traveled to Jiangning. He took his concubines, princes, princesses and important ministers to the Yuhuatai to see the city, mountains and rivers. He stayed at Jiangning Zhizhifu.On the second day of the junior high school, the princes visited the mausoleum of the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and personally wrote the congratulations.Passing the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty, I wrote "Passing Jinling Theory" for a long time, in order to "take the traces of the abolishment of the previous generation, and be more vigilant every day", which made the local officials pay more attention to repairing the Ming Taizu Mausoleum.

Returning that day, the sixth elder brother was already so tired that he fell asleep on the road, and was carried into the door by the eunuch. When the little guy woke up, he pestered Er Niang and asked, "Does Yin Zuo have a horse riding outfit?"

Lan Qi smiled: "Yes, but what do you wear it for? Tomorrow, you just need to obediently watch Big Brother and the others ride and shoot. Don't run around indiscriminately, or Er Niang won't let you go."

It turned out that tomorrow the emperor will bring the princes to the Jiangning teaching ground to watch the generals, deputy capital commanders, general soldiers, internal ministers, and bodyguards riding and shooting. Then Yinzuo pestered his mother and asked him if he had any clothes to wear on horseback, but he did not The dick is so big that even riding a pony makes people panic. Lan Qi didn't intend to let him go.

"Ma'am, the fourth elder brother is here." Lvzhu from outside smiled, and brought in the radiant Yinzhen, who was wearing a newly made horse riding suit, and his small body was so heroic, he proudly showed off to his younger brother, " Er Niang prepared it for me, and Huang Ama said that as long as I can draw the big bow tomorrow, I will be rewarded with a pony, and I can also go for a run."

"Yin Zuo also wants a pony." Seeing that his elder brother is so beautiful, the sixth elder brother was very unconvinced, so he pestered Lan Qi to ask for it, and Huan Chun went to dig out the sixth elder brother's riding clothes and dress him neatly. He cheered up, bouncing around his brother and said, "I have one too, fourth brother, I want a pony too."

Yinzhen said solemnly: "You are too young to ride a horse, so just watch from the side."

Huanchun coaxed the sixth elder brother and said: "After a few years, the sixth elder brother grows as tall as the fourth elder brother, the emperor will definitely give the sixth elder brother a pony."

"I don't want it, I want it now, Huanchun, you lied." Yinzuo lost his temper, yelling and screaming, making Huanchun don't know how to deal with it, Lan Qi came over and stared at her son, Yinzuo After a moment of silence, although he was a little scared, he still cried and said that he would be like his brother.

Lan Qi picked him up and put him on the table, and said with a cold face, "Cry here, when you finish crying, don't come down again, don't worry about the little pony, you are not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow."

Huan Chun wanted to persuade him, but Lan Qi scolded him: "Everyone is used to him, you just watch him here, don't let him fall off, don't coax him or persuade him, since he likes to cry, let him cry It’s good to cry enough.” So everyone didn’t dare to talk too much, the sixth elder brother was ignorant, he was afraid and wronged when he saw Erniang getting angry, crying and wanted to get off the table, but no one came to hug him, the table was so high that he was scared. made him more afraid.

"Yinzhen, concubine de concubine will send you back. My younger brother is disobedient. I will play with you when he is obedient." Lan Qi smiled softly at Yinzhen, took his hand and walked out. Weeping, she just turned a deaf ear, the two walked to the door, the fourth elder brother suddenly pulled his hand away, and said to Lan Qi timidly, "Yin Zuo is still young, don't be angry, I will talk to my brother Madam, can you let him go to the school field tomorrow? I will take good care of my younger brother. I will let him ride my pony, and there will be a master to watch him. I will not let him fall off, nor give it to Huang Ama. Trouble."

Lan Qi looked at him helplessly, the little guy saw that Concubine De didn't object, so he turned around and ran inside, Yin Zuo's crying gradually became quieter, he could hear him calling his brother, when Lan Qi walked in again, he saw The nurse took Yinzuo off the table, and the elder brother hugged his younger brother to coax him not to cry, finally Yinzuo gradually calmed down.

Getting closer, I heard Yinzhen say: "Tomorrow I will definitely draw the big bow, so that Huang Ama rewards me with a pony, and it will be mine. May I give it to you?"

Lan Qi squatted aside, her eyes were inexplicably red. Yinzhen knew that his younger brother was different from other younger brothers, so he loved him so much. He was not so close to the fifth elder brother and seventh elder brother, but only respected the elder brother. , Only with Yinzuo can we stick together and love my younger brother like an adult.

"Yinzuo, you must be obedient when you go to the school ground tomorrow. If you quarrel with Huang Ama and elder brother like you did just now, Erniang will definitely beat your ass when you come back, remember?" Lan Qi said from the side, Yinzuo Hiding in his brother's arms with his mouth puckered and wanting to cry, he nodded his head in agreement under his brother's guidance, and saw Erniang open her arms, so she threw herself into her arms, sobbing and acting like a baby, how young is she? If you don't understand the reasoning, you can only kill him.

The next day the emperor took his sons to the school grounds, and the concubines stayed in the mansion to watch a play for fun. The imperial concubine complained: "I used to bring them for hunting in the paddock, but today I don't take us there. I'm tired of watching plays in Suzhou. Is there no other fun here for Jiang Ning?"

Concubine Rong and Lan Qi smiled and said nothing, the paddock is different from the school ground after all, the latter is an important place for marching and fighting for national defense, how can the emperor take his female relatives there easily, they also feel that staying in the mansion is boring, but they dare not go to the school ground to join in the fun .Fortunately, Jiangning is the last stop of this southern tour, and I will leave for Beijing in a few days. I will take a different route back to Beijing, and there are still many beautiful places to see.

At this moment, in the school grounds, the horseshoes are already flying in the sand, and the princes and princes Baylor are all gearing up. In the shooting range, the shouts are long live, the emperor is about to shoot the bow himself, and then everyone will compete.But seeing Xuan Ye's imposing manner like a rainbow and his eyes like an eagle, he stretched his bow and set his arrows without missing a shot, and the applause shook the sky for a while, showing the heavenly family atmosphere.

Afterwards, the prince was shooting arrows, Xuan Ye sat on the head, saw the prince standing in the arena holding a bow, the child who will be by his side tomorrow, suddenly felt that he had grown up at this moment.The crown prince's eyebrows are more like his mother Queen Hesheli than his own, but although Xuan Ye feels that the mother and child are alike, it really makes him think about Queen Hesheli's face, which has become blurred in his memory, and he can still remember it. The outline of the queen's face, but many things are not so clear.

Unconsciously falling into this faint sadness, the crown prince shot three arrows in succession before Xuan Ye came back to look at him. Unfortunately, these three arrows failed to hit the bull's-eye. The distance is not too far, maybe it was because of nervousness, or Tired from the journey for several months, the prince shot the fourth arrow, but it still failed.
