Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Zhang promised with a naive smile, "But the emperor doesn't like concubines, so concubines are not afraid of others being jealous, it's just..." She hesitated a little, looked up at Lan Qi, and said softly, "Your Majesty, concubine is only here today. I heard from Sister Wan that Lantern Festival is the night for the emperor and the empress to make love, I really regret it, it would be fine if the ministers and concubines don’t go to Qing Palace on Lantern Festival.”

"From what you've said, as long as I'm a thoughtful person, I'll think you're provocative on purpose, but I know you're not." Lan Qi sighed helplessly, and promised Zhang, "Although there are differences in status between you and me, , but they are all serving the emperor in the same way. You also have your dignity. You don't need to say these things to me, let alone apologize. As long as the emperor likes you, even if you are by his side every day, you deserve it. To others, you must never Don't say such things, as for the Lantern Festival, it's all rumored by the palace people."

Zhang promised to wave his hand and said, "I don't mean that by my concubine, it's, it's..."

Seeing that she was hesitant, Lan Qi said: "Since you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"It's the emperor who always asks about your concubines." Zhang promised finally said this, with his head lowered, "Although these concubines often go to the Qianqing Palace, they are actually just talking with the emperor. The government remembers it, and the concubines are not afraid of others saying that they have confused the emperor. I always feel that I should tell you what the emperor said behind closed doors, empress, did you and the emperor quarrel?"

Lan Qi was taken aback, showing an unnatural expression, this time the "war" between the two of them was not smoked, and they were still polite and generous in front of people, and it was like this several times during the first month of the month, no one was hiding from the other, as long as they were not paying attention From what I can see, it is basically impossible to see that the relationship between myself and Xuan Ye is not as good as before.

Zhang promised to say with a little guilt: "My lady, don't blame the concubine for talking too much. It is the emperor who always asks. The first time the concubine said he didn't know, the emperor was not happy. The concubine was still afraid that he would anger the emperor. Later, the emperor asked again. From time to time, the concubine will pick something that doesn't matter, but even if the concubine says that you eat half a bowl of rice, the emperor will be happy, so..."

"You just told the emperor everything about me?" Lan Qi frowned.

Zhang promised to wave his hand and said: "No, no, the concubine just said some insignificant things, such as you eating, and playing with the princess. I didn't dare to say or pay attention to other things. I just wanted to say, because these trivial things are very important. It can make the emperor happy, so I feel that you and the emperor are not happy, otherwise, the emperor can ask you by himself."

"As a concubine, how dare I be unhappy with the emperor?" Lan Qi felt strange, neither happy nor sad, anyway, it was the same as before, there was nothing that made her feel comfortable, but seeing Zhang's promise was still sincere, Concubine Rong also kept going. Praise her for being honest, so I don't want to think about whether she has other intentions in saying these words. Sometimes it is myself who makes things complicated, and wrongs others who are simple.

Zhang promised with a smile: "Naturally, your empress is different from others."

Lan Qi scolded her: "Nonsense, we are all the same." Signaling Zhang to sit beside her, she told her, "Just take care of yourself and serve the emperor. Don't think about what you have or what you don't have. As for the emperor I don’t like you, why do I keep seeing you when I don’t like you? Although there was nothing like that in the past few days, what about the other day? The concubine Rong came to tell me that you don’t know how to take care of your body, and you are bouncing around all day long Jumping, don't be careless, maybe there will be one?"

Suddenly saying these words, Zhang promised to feel a little embarrassed, and said with a smile that there would be no, and then changed the subject. She had recently asked Lan Qi seriously because she had heard how Ping Guiren was doing: "What does Ping Guiren want to do?" , the imperial concubine has already punished her like that, why come out to bully others?"

Lan Qi laughed at her simple mind, and slowly said: "If you are punished like the imperial concubine, I'm afraid you won't even dare to leave the door, and you will be cautious for the rest of your life, and I will probably be the same. But this is not good for some people. Similarly, punishing them will only arouse their hatred. Why are there good people in this world? Isn't it because there are bad people, and there are black and white? You used to be bullied in Yingtai, and those people used to Being bullied by your master did not learn to be obedient and keep a low profile from now on. Instead, he bullied you even more severely. Mrs. Ping is already arrogant and arrogant, and it is useless for the imperial concubine to suppress her. Temporary peace will only bring deeper hatred."

Zhang promised to frown, and muttered: "Could it be that she is going to bully your mother this time?"

"The thing about the disappearance is just a few rumors." Lan Qi didn't mention that it was the nobleman Juechan who came to tell her about the relationship between Concubine Wen and the nobleman, and said a few perfunctory words, "Anyone who is better than her is her." The thorn in the eye, you have to be careful."

Zhang promised to look at Lan Qi's swollen belly, and said softly: "It will be good to lock her up for a few more months, so that your mother can give birth safely."

Lan Qi looked down at her stomach, and said with a smile, "I'm in Yonghe Palace, she can't mess with me." Suddenly remembering what she said just now, she told Zhang to agree, "Don't mention these things to Concubine Rong when I go back. Don't worry, stop embarrassing her."

Lan Qi doesn't know if this instruction is useful, although everyone thinks that Zhang promised to be someone who went out of the Yonghe Palace and should be closer to her, but she has been in the palace for so many years, and only Sister Bu can truly understand her. Confidentially, Zhang must have promised himself that there would be such a person, but Lan Qi felt that she was not her "cloth nobleman".

After Zhang promised to leave, Huanchun brought the overheated anti-abortion medicine to Lan Qi after being checked by others. Talking about what he had promised with Zhang just now, Huanchun finally had the opportunity to talk about the matter of the master and the emperor, and persuade her : "Your Majesty, don't go on stalemate with the emperor anymore. Once other people find out, won't you let those people see it as a joke?"

Lan Qi said impatiently: "I'm not unhappy, isn't it good? Now I'm quiet. You haven't seen me depressed these days, have you? I eat well and take medicine. Everything is fine. Why is it still not working?" Woolen cloth?"

Huan Chun didn't dare to say more to annoy her, but she smiled wryly in her heart. If she talks like this, can it be considered good?I guess it was probably because of the marriage between the second young lady and Mrs. Alinga. She was not there that day. I don't know what the emperor and concubine said to make such a quarrel all of a sudden. Now even Zhang promised to notice it. Sooner or later The six palaces can spread.What makes Huanchun feel worthless the most is that the second lady still has to marry if the master is so turbulent.

Speaking of Wu Yalanying's marriage, the fifth day of March has been planned, which is said to be an auspicious day for marriage. Both governments have begun to prepare for the marriage. Niu Hulu's family seems to be very happy, and Wu Ya's family has not seen much reluctance. , but the two in the palace were not happy.But Concubine De thanked the Emperor in front of the Emperor, and thanked Concubine in front of Concubine Gui. She said something beautifully and decently, which turned Concubine Concubine’s confession into unreasonable trouble. I pocketed it.

The days passed day by day, and the palace seemed to be at peace. After the emperor frequently flipped through the promised signs at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, he gradually began to enjoy the rain and dew of the six palaces. There is no shortage of companions in the Qing Palace almost every night. Even Ping Guiren and Concubine Yi have been there twice, even if the emperor does not enter the harem, no matter whether it is a low-ranking concubine or the lord of the palace, they all come to the Qing Palace to accompany them .

As for the Yonghe Palace, it is normal for a concubine De to not accompany the emperor with a big belly, but after a long time, those who are a little smarter can see something strange in it. The relationship between the emperor and the concubine De has changed a little. More and more people found out that in the blink of an eye, at the end of February, the marriage between Niu Hulu's family and Wu Ya's family outside the palace was just around the corner, and rumors spread throughout the palace that the Concubine De of the Yonghe Palace had fallen out of favor.

As far as Niu Hulu's family is concerned, they are eager to know whether Concubine De is really out of favor, and Concubine De is in favor, and marrying the daughter of Wu Ya's family is a good thing, if not, what do they want a woman with no background from her natal family to come in?

Even Concubine Rong thought of these truths. She felt that the Emperor and Concubine De were not normal a few days ago, but she didn't take it to heart. Now that the palace is getting more and more lively, she kindly came to ask, and told Lan Qi: "If you are not good in the palace, they will really bully your sister."

But Lan Qi said cruelly: "She agreed to it herself, and she will bear it by herself in the future."

Concubine Rong said to her: "Then why are you unhappy? If you really don't care, why are you losing your temper right now?"

Lan Qi was speechless, her heart was in turmoil, recalling what she promised to Zhang that day, she vaguely remembered that Ronggui and Huigui had said similar things to her, and in the blink of an eye she had already started teaching newcomers, and looking at herself now The conflict with Xuan Ye, is it possible that if the time is longer, she will become like Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui?It can be seen that the women in the harem, no matter how beautiful they used to be, will tend to be mediocre, unable to withstand the erosion of emotions over the years, and everyone's fate will be the same in the end.

As for the newcomers in the palace today, although none of them are well-known, they are much smarter and more lively than Lan Qi and Bu Guiren at that time, and because they have seen a good life, their spirits are also higher than they used to be.Lan Qi didn't feel the sadness of seeing newcomers laughing but not hearing old ones cry. Although she and Xuan Ye couldn't untie this knot because of her sister's marriage, there was one thing that surprised her. Her previously confused mentality gradually became clear. Seems to know where to go at a fork in the road.

On the same day, Mrs. Zhong Cuigong Daigui invited the decree, and brought Wanchangzai and Zhang promised to come to elder brother's place. Seventh elder brother Yinyou was about to go to the study to be his mother to buy some things for him. Wanchangzai He also stopped by to see his twelfth elder brother. Although their status is low, their fortune is not bad. They all have a son under their knees, which is better than many people in the palace.

After elder brother left, the sisters walked back talking and laughing, talking about Zhang promised to go in and out of the Qianqing Palace frequently, the two asked her to be more careful about her body, after all, it was private between the beds, so Zhang promised to be shy.The little maids around him also joined in the fun, chasing back and forth for a while, playing crazy, Zhang promised that the maid Xiaoyu next to him grabbed the long-dried snowball on the ground and threw it forward, not knowing why there was such a big one in his hand. The dry snowball was as hard as a rock, and it flew out at that moment. Three or four people turned in from the intersection, and the snowball hit one of them on the head. With a scream of pain, someone exclaimed : "It's Mr. Ping."
