Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Say a few words, stay outside." Seeing that Lan Qi's face was not looking good, Mrs. Wu Ya hurriedly beat the younger daughter out, and turned to comfort the eldest daughter, asking her not to move her fetus, Lan Qi With tears in her eyes, she said, "Emiang, are you and Ama willing to send Ying'er to such a family? People in their family don't even look down on Queen Hesheli, how can they think highly of Ying'er."

"Your Majesty, don't get pregnant, what else do you have with the child, the concubine is really reluctant." Mrs. Wu Ya put her arms around her daughter and ran down her back, carefully caring, "The emperor bestowed a marriage, the empress dowager's The decree is another great blessing for our Wuya family after you, a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations, and the family will be able to honor the ancestors in this generation, but your Ama said that it was all begged by the empress for the family in the palace."

Lan Qi shook her head, unable to listen at all, and said to herself: "Concubine Wen Gui has a very weird temper, don't say that I don't agree, I'm afraid she won't tolerate this marriage, if she doesn't put my sister in In my eyes, the sisters-in-law and aunts at home have their backs, so I don't know how to bully Ying'er."

Mrs. Wu Ya said: "That girl Ying'er, don't look at her as a well-behaved girl in the palace, but at home she is a devil in the world. It's the good fortune of others that she doesn't bully others. It's her turn to be bullied by sisters-in-law? Madam, don't worry. Well, although our family's lintel is not high, the daughter we raise is no worse than others, and she has an older sister who is as honorable as a Concubine De, so she won't be easily bullied."

"Er Niang." Lan Qi said with a gloomy expression, "Back then when Oboi lost power, Niu Hulu's family was also implicated. If it hadn't been for the great merit that benefited the family, if it hadn't been for the emperor's fledgling and unable to suppress him hard, Niu Hulu's family would have been implicated. Today's situation has long been absent, so that Empress Niu Hulu is not liked by the emperor. Even the current noble concubine, the emperor treats her with superficial politeness. That family is obviously not liked by the emperor. Don't be afraid, Er Niang , One day they offended Longyan again, and my sister was in bad luck with her, is it beyond redemption?"

Mrs. Wu Ya is a womanly family, even if she knows the dangers of the palace, she doesn't know the way of the government, not to mention that the powerful officials are not high, and the court struggles she can touch are limited, and she will not mention it to her wife and children at home. I feel a chill down my back.

"You, Ama, said that since the emperor wanted Ying'er to marry Niu Hulu's family, even if our family is not as good as others, even if his official position is not as high as that of his son-in-law, he will straighten up and be an old man in the future. His The eldest son-in-law is the emperor, even if there are seven or eight more son-in-laws, there is no reason why we should not be too high, we must not underestimate ourselves first." Mrs. Wu Ya also had tears in her eyes when she said that she was emotional, "Your Majesty, do you know that six Elder brother is gone. He secretly shed tears for several days and nights, explaining that he knew the pain of your life in the palace, but he couldn't even say a word of comfort to you. Although the emperor is discussing this matter with Ying Er Yes, but he accepted the imperial decree, and as the head of the family, he promised it and would never change it."

"It's obviously a happy event, but I can't be happy. No wonder I've been uneasy recently. I feel more and more confused in this position. Now it has come true, and my family is also involved. I only have this younger sister. Sacrifice her life's happiness." Lan Qi sneered, "I count it as a family, what kind of blessings have I made?"

Lanying poked her head in front of the door, half of her body was hiding outside the door, Mrs. Wu Ya saw it, and laughed and cursed: "What are you doing furtively, you are going to get married, there are no rules, don't come in."

Lan Ying quickly sat down beside her sister, handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said with a smile: "Sister, please be happy, your sister is finally getting married."

Lan Qi turned her head and ignored her, Lan Ying came up to her and acted coquettishly again: "I'm still my sister's younger sister after she's married, why is my sister ignoring her?" She even said heartlessly, "I heard that my sister thinks that the emperor and I have a good relationship. Now, you are going to enter the palace to be a concubine, so you are very angry, aren't you?"

After she finished saying this, Er Niang pinched her butt so hard that she cried out in pain and crawled to hide behind Lan Qi. Mrs. Wu Ya scolded her angrily: "You talk nonsense again!" , I will deal with you in the palace."

Only then did Lan Qi pull her younger sister to sit down, held her cheeks and looked carefully, thinking about it, she still couldn't bear it, and said with tears in her eyes, "Let my elder sister go and talk to the emperor again, if she doesn't marry anymore, let's not marry Niu Hulu Home. That day when you walked away from me, Huanchun saw you crying, I remember the first time the emperor talked to you, you were unhappy when you came back, Yinger, you don’t want to, right? My sister doesn’t want you to protect me What can you do, why sacrifice your own happiness, it is a lifetime thing."

Lanying smiled, her eyes turned red, she leaned on her sister's shoulder and said: "Anyway, marrying is marrying anyone, I don't believe that Ah Ling dares to bully me, and I don't have a childhood sweetheart, so there is nothing I can't let go of. It's just that I feel a little wronged. I'm going to be someone's stepmother at my age, but that day when I heard the imperial concubine scolding you like that, I felt very sad. Why is she so arrogant? I really don't know you are here What kind of grievances do you have to suffer in the palace? Since the emperor said that I can protect you by marrying Ah Ling, then I will marry him. He is not too old, and he is not short of arms or legs. I still have a crush on him."

Huanchun and Mrs. Wu Ya laughed, and the lady patted her daughter on the head and said, "It's your turn to look up to others, and don't look at your own background."

Lan Ying snorted proudly: "My elder sister is a concubine, what's wrong with our family's background? They are a clean family, they have been sued by lawsuits, so they can't compete with us."

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes. I can't bring it up again in the future." Lan Qi blamed her sister for being immodest, and sighed, "Let's do this first, and you don't want to persuade me here for a while, I always have to tell the emperor. One understands, Concubine Wen is still undecided about her attitude, whether this marriage will be possible or not is still unknown, Er Niang went back and told Ama that although he made a decision that he couldn't change it, if the emperor wants to change it, I can't blame me."

Lan Ying and her mother looked at each other, the wife signaled the younger daughter to stop talking, and only persuaded the elder daughter when she left the palace: "Your Majesty, don't fall out with the emperor, how worthless?"

On the other side, A Ling'a, who came to the palace full of spring breeze to thank her, was also poured cold water by her younger sister in Xianfu Palace. Concubine Wen Gui couldn't accept this marriage at all, and pointed at him and scolded: "Why did I tell you to come, Youde?" The concubine is here one day, and I have no early days here. You don't care about the future of the tenth elder brother, so what are you rushing to ask me to have a son? What did you force my sister back then, and now you don't care? They Is there anything from the Wu Ya family that is worthy of our Niu Hulu family?"

In this matter, A Ling'a was completely passive, Wu Ya Lanying still had other choices, the emperor even asked her to discuss it, but A Ling'a did understand that the emperor let the second lady of Wu Ya's family enter the palace at the moment when she received the imperial decree Not to put it on his own dragon couch, but to see if it can be sent to him. He didn't recover when the imperial decree arrived home today. After discussing it with his family, he felt that it was a great thing.

In the past, the daughters of Wu Ya's family might not have thought highly of being a small child for their family, but now it's different, Concubine De is in full bloom in the harem, while their own daughters are becoming less and less important. For the Niu Hulu family now He said that he can no longer be as proud as before, but it doesn't matter who he makes good friends with if it is beneficial to the family.

Ah Ling said with a good temper: "Since the emperor bestowed the marriage, it is useless for the empress to lose her temper with the minister, and the minister cannot resist the order. I also ask the empress to calm down, make friends with the concubine De, and discuss together how to promote this marriage. .”

"It's been less than a year since your wife died, and the emperor can't force you. If you procrastinate until you get married, won't you just get married?" Concubine Wen gnashed her teeth with hatred, "How can I agree to the marriage?"

Ah Ling thought to himself, it's useless if you don't agree, but on the surface he persuaded: "Concubine De is generous and generous, and she gets along very well with Liugong. Even the imperial concubine and empress are kind to her. Living in harmony, since the Emperor likes Concubine De, if you insist on confronting Concubine De, how can the Emperor like you?"

"Presumptuous, when is it your turn to teach me a lesson?" Concubine Wen Gui was furious, she stood up and pointed at her brother and said, "Do you think I didn't bother? Lift it up. I just came back to my senses now. Thinking about the way I treated her in those years, it was ridiculous and useless. I regarded her as a confidant and confided in my heart. Did she treat me seriously? No wonder my sister didn’t want to be born with these people The lowly concubines are afraid of ruining their dignity, this is the truth, I regret it now and understand, but what about you, you have married the daughters of important people into your house."

Ah Ling said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is the emperor's will."

Concubine Wen Gui was furious, and said coldly: "Okay, then I will go and beg the emperor to take back my life."

After that, there was a lot of movement in Xianfu Palace. When Jue Chan came out to see, he saw Concubine Wen running out angrily. Shi just shook his head and said, "What does she think she can do?"

In the palace, because the emperor suddenly gave a marriage to the noble concubine and the concubine De, there had been rumors about it for a long time. Everyone thought that they were waiting for another daughter from Wu Ya's family to confuse the emperor, and they were all waiting to see the Yonghe Palace. It's turning against each other and fighting each other, it's enough to watch for a year or two, who knows that when the wind turns, she will go to Niu Hulu's house to be the wife of the house.

The royal family and nobles are most particular about being well-matched. Everyone knows that the Niu Hulu family thinks highly of themselves. Ping Guiren was tossed so hard by Concubine Wen that he even taught her face-to-face who is the real Manchu nobleman. The shame is still in my heart, now I know that Wu Ya's daughter is going to be the concubine's sister-in-law, and I can't stop laughing from ear to ear in my own room.

Now I heard that Concubine Wen Gui rushed to Qianqing Palace to oppose the marriage, so she hurried to join in the fun, and sure enough, when she walked outside Qianqing Palace, she saw Concubine Wen and her party being blocked, and pretended to come to congratulate, in fact, it was a joke, And it's not just Pinggui.

Here Li Gonggong said embarrassingly: "The emperor is discussing government affairs with the ministers, and the empress will come back another day."

Concubine Wen Gui was about to have a fit when she suddenly heard someone say: "The Empress Defei is here."
