Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Not far away, a soft sedan chair stopped, Concubine De descended slowly, Huan Chun put on a lotus-colored cloak, and a group of people came to the gate of Qianqing Palace, where Concubine Wen and several concubines who came to congratulate Xi gathered to watch the fun Well, women in the palace have always looked like this, and Lan Qi knew that in their eyes, this marriage was also a joke.

With Huan Chun's support, Lan Qi bowed to the concubine, but Concubine Wen sneered: "Don't salute if you have a full belly, people think I'm bullying you."

Listening to this tone, Lan Qi knew without guessing that Concubine Wen Gui was dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage proposal. Recently, they had less and less contact with each other, but the conflict of interests continued unabated. When we meet today, Lan Qi understands that she will never marry again. You don't have to be tired of dealing with Concubine Wen's wishful friendship, and you can finally let go of your guilt.

"The emperor is discussing matters with the ministers. Let me come back another day. What are you doing to the emperor? If it's okay, go back quickly." Concubine Wen glanced at Lan Qi coldly, turned around and was about to leave, but saw a young lady inside. The eunuch ran out and whispered to Mr. Li, and after a while Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Long Live Lord, please wait for the two ladies in the Nuan Pavilion. The emperor will come to see the ladies after finishing the work at hand."

He said to lead the way inside, and invited Concubine De and Concubine De to enter, Lan Qi waited aside and let Concubine Wen go first, but she was not convinced, and insisted on asking Eunuch Li: "Does the Emperor know that Concubine De is here?"

Eunuch Li is such a tactful person, he hurriedly said with a smile: "The words are spoken by the slaves. Just now the little eunuch came to pass on the message. The Lord Long Live just asked the imperial concubine to wait in the Nuan Pavilion. The matter of the concubine will be passed on at this moment." .”

Even if Concubine Wen didn't believe it, she wouldn't pester her to get off the stage anymore, she seemed to insist on fighting for it, so she went inside contentedly, Lan Qi walked behind calmly, she was pregnant, she had to take care of herself , Everything comes slowly.

The two sat down in the Nuan Pavilion separately. Lan Qi frowned slightly when she heard the fragrance in the Nuan Pavilion, and a little eunuch came to ask if it was all right. She smiled and said it was fine. Yun and Huanchun waited on the side.

But after waiting for a long time, the tea was changed twice, and the emperor did not come. Concubine Wen became more and more impatient, and she no longer hesitated to speak, and asked Lan Qi directly: "You asked for this marriage?"

Lan Qi shook her head calmly and denied: "The concubine only found out today."

Concubine Wen sneered: "If you ask for it, I really want to look at you again. Concubine De, do you know what family our Niu Hulu family is, and the origins of our sister-in-law and daughter-in-law? Have you ever asked?" ? Your sister is still so young, and my sister-in-law's bones are not cold, so you are so eager to enter the door? Even if your sister is a fairy, you have to see if she can afford our family."

Lan Qi has always felt that Empress Niu Hulu is obsessed with her family's glory, and Concubine Wen Guifei gave her the feeling of disdain and even disgust, but the days are getting worse every year, making her rely on the family again, or In her bones, after all, she believed that she was born as a noble daughter. Previously, Ping Guiren's words were improper and she regarded herself as noble, and she taught her to suppress her personally. Listening to her words now, Lan Qi was not surprised.

But this does not mean that she should be inferior. If Lan Qi bows to Concubine Wen Gui now, her younger sister will be looked down upon by others in Niu Hulu's house. Overshadowing the difference in status between her and the imperial concubine, it is because she is low-key and introverted, because she does not want to forget her true colors, and because she abides by her limits and wants to live a peaceful life. If she can not fight for herself, but for her sister, that is not necessarily the case. .

Concubine Wen became more and more arrogant, she stared at Lan Qi and said: "You also understand in your heart, your sister will not have a good life when she comes into our house, why bother? It would be nice to find a family with the right family to live a happy life, if you have to go to Gao Zhier climbs up, does she have this life?"

Lan Qi responded calmly: "This marriage is not what the concubine wishes. The concubine doesn't need to listen to what your mother said."

Concubine Wen sneered: "Since you still have self-knowledge, hurry up with me and beg the emperor to take back your life. It's still too late, and you don't want to see your sister live a miserable life, do you?"

When he said this, the emperor came in steadily, with a stern expression, as if he had heard the conversation just now, and smiled softly: "You came to see me to talk about this?"

Concubine Wen got up in a panic. When she saw the emperor, she froze and couldn't say anything. Lan Qi beside her helped Huan Chun to get up slowly. Yes, Lanying just left the palace with Emiang, the little girl is not sensible at all, she is so naughty when she is about to get married, the concubine is really worried that she will embarrass the imperial concubine in the future."

Xuan Ye was stunned for a moment, and saw Lan Qi turn around and smiled at Concubine Wen Gui: "The concubine will train my younger sister well. After she enters the door, she will look after her husband and children, respect the old and love the young, and slowly learn how to manage the daily chores of the mansion, especially Madam Yuan's children must also be taught and raised well."

Concubine Wen was stunned and speechless as if she had taken dumb medicine, but Xuan Ye smiled slightly and said to Lan Qi: "Lan Ying is talented and intelligent, and in time she will be able to take care of the house well. I see that she is smarter than you." Turning his head, he asked the concubine coldly, "You don't agree with this marriage? Do you think Concubine De's younger sister is not worthy of your Niu Hulu family?"

This is what Concubine Wen Guifei cares most about and would never say to the emperor. Even if she rushed impulsively to ask the emperor to withdraw her order, she would use the excuse that her sister-in-law lost her wife for less than a year. But now the emperor took the initiative to poke her pain, and stopped her from asking.

Thinking of what she just said, Concubine Wen pointed at Lan Qi and said, "Concubine De, you also said that this marriage was not what you wanted. Changed meaning?"

Xuan Ye looked at Lan Qi again, she smiled calmly, and calmly responded: "My sister is naughty and young, and my concubine is afraid that she is not enough to take care of a big family. Lord A Ling is the emperor's servant, my lord His wife must be a virtuous wife of Xiuwai Huizhong, the concubine is worried about this, as for the emperor and the empress dowager, the concubine and the family are very grateful, so why would they not want to?"

"you……"

"It's a good thing, why are you unhappy? With a family like yours, what would you do if you don't have a mistress to take care of it? Your brother is busy with the affairs of the court, so he doesn't have time to take care of the family's affairs." Xuan Ye interrupted the imperial concubine's entanglement, looking He seemed to be polite but said indifferently, "I have a golden mouth, and it is the meaning of the empress dowager. You have obstructed me a lot, so I may be able to follow you, but in front of the emperor's grandmother, can you say it yourself?"

Lan Qi smiled to smooth things over: "Why is the emperor so serious? I think, the empress must be happy." She straightened her slender neck slightly, and told her word by word in front of the imperial concubine so proudly, " From now on, the concubine and the empress will be a family, and they will definitely be closer than before."

Concubine Wen Gui was so angry that she was dizzy and staggered. Fortunately, Dong Yun came from behind and supported her firmly. She was worried that the emperor would really anger the emperor if she pestered her again, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must leave when she comes." I'm in a hurry, and this servant will send you back to rest."

Xuan Ye took Dong Yun's words and said, "The imperial concubine has always been in poor health, you should take care of her with all your heart, go back earlier."

Concubine Wen still wanted to talk, but Dong Yun pulled her down secretly, lowered her head and took the master out, and persuaded her as soon as she went out: "Your Majesty, forget it, it's not good for you to talk about it."

And soon Huan Chun followed them out, seeing them, he said respectfully: "The servants are also sending off to the empress." But others knew without asking, that when Huan Chun came out, it must be because the emperor and concubine De were about to whisper.

At this moment Lan Qi had already sat down again, Xuan Ye saw that she was wearing a flower pot bottom, and blamed her for not wearing soft shoes during pregnancy, Lan Qi responded indifferently: "I am afraid that a dwarf will cut me off."

These words directly reversed the atmosphere in the room. Lan Qi was no longer the quiet and generous person she had just forced herself to be, with a gloomy expression on her face, she lowered her eyes and did not look at Xuan Ye. The emperor sat down alone, and asked reluctantly: "Are you angry? But what you said just now is so good. "

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "That's because the concubine didn't want to be a dwarf, and she didn't want to bow her head today, so that my sister would not be able to hold her head up in Niu Hulu's house in the future. The concubine dare not be rude to the emperor, the concubine is just like this, the minister The concubine is showing such a face to you at this moment, I really deserve death. But the emperor, you want to see me forcefully smile, you want to hear me say flattering words, and you want me to be like everyone else, even what I am like Anyone who doesn't even remember?"

Xuan Ye stared at her. He married his younger sister without discussing the whole matter with the person in front of him. I don't blame Lan Qi for being angry, but he is an emperor after all, he has his balance and his wrist, Lan Qi Ying was still young enough to take care of the overall situation, but Lan Qi was too emotional and didn't understand his intentions, so she couldn't help being unhappy, but she had no position to get angry, she just said: "I didn't say a word, you said so much, What did I say?"

Without the domineering words of the emperor, the identities of the emperor and concubines were instantly transformed into a couple quarreling with common people. The atmosphere in the room eased a little. Lan Qi has never been a person who is easily agitated and tough. Just now, a carload of words is enough. Now, I just hang my head and say to myself: "These days, my heart has been ups and downs, and I have experienced all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of my life. I think that you have fallen in love with Yinger, and I persuade myself every day to be magnanimous and tolerant. You have to welcome your sister in with a smile, thinking that no matter how sad you are, you will always be able to let go of it after a long time, so don't be separated from you because of this, who knows that when you turn around, you actually sold my sister."

Xuan Ye thought it was funny, but seeing Lan Qi with a straight face, she restrained her smile, sat down next to her, and said in a good voice: "Ying'er is so sensible, you can't let her down, she's at Niu Hulu's house, I don't need her." You are worried that their family is going to plot against you, so many people are staring at you, one less is one, how good is it?"

But Lan Qi didn't have the slightest intention of joking, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, that is Ying Er's lifetime happiness."
