Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

A few days later, Princess Xianfu's funeral was settled. At Niu Hulu's house, A Ling'a seemed to have listened to his wife's words conveyed to Dong Yun, and did not enter the palace to visit the concubine. Others seemed to be too indifferent to the family, but Wen The imperial concubine herself didn't want to see her family at all, so she didn't care.

After crying for two days, her mood gradually stabilized. She didn't know whether it was because of the medicine used by the hospital, or because she was disheartened. She no longer saw her noisy and tossing, but just sat in a daze every day.In the Xianfu Palace, nobleman Juechan and Dongyun all knew in their hearts that it was painful for the noble concubine to lose her flesh and blood, but she really didn't have much affection for her daughter. A good mother, the only thing she cares about is whether she can be liked by the emperor.

Speaking of Elder Brother Shi, he is a very simple and honest child. As long as you give him something delicious, the little guy will be happy. In Xianfu Palace, he is relatively close to nobleman Jue Chan, and often plays with Jue Chan in the side hall.

Niu Hulu's family established a rule in Xianfu Palace after the Sixth Brother's incident last year, and no one else can just feed the Tenth Brother. At first, everyone strictly abided by it, but gradually Concubine Wen didn't care about it. Fewer people came to Niu Hulu's house, and Dongyun and the others couldn't get around the little princess. This rule seemed to be there, and almost no one cared about it afterwards.

Now the weather is getting hotter, this year there is a leap in April, and in May it is hotter than in previous years, the sun is scorching hot every day, many people are lazy to move outside, and this year I have not heard the emperor has any plans to escape the summer heat , all looking forward to having fun in autumn when it will be cooler.

But festivals always come to an end. During the Duanyang period, the palace was a little bustling. Concubine De was already out of confinement. She was not busy taking care of her little daughter, but went to and from the Palace of Compassion and Ning every day, as if she wanted to have a baby in the first few months She has made up for the time she spent as a young concubine, but she is just showing filial piety to the Empress Dowager, but in the eyes of the palace people, they say that Concubine De did not give birth to a son, and the position of noble concubine has been lost, so she came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning again. back door.

Here in the Changchun Palace, Concubine Yi led the ninth elder brother to hold the eleventh elder brother to wait for Hui Concubine to go to the Compassion Palace. The eighth and ninth elder brothers had a great time playing together. He couldn't walk, so the two younger brothers teased him, and when he was about to leave, Brother Eleven peed his pants, so he stayed down and waited for the nurse to wash and change the clothes for the child.

The two of them stood under the eaves feeling hot, so they retreated in to have a sip of tea. Concubine Yi thought about it and said: "Concubine De went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the sky has been there for the past few days. The little princess hasn't reached a hundred days yet, so she can let it go."

Concubine Hui said softly: "People outside don't know that's all. I heard that the empress dowager is not in good health. You know that the emperor only rest assured that concubine De will take care of her. Besides, the empress dowager has always been the ancestor of the royal family, so she is a little shaken. Many things have an impact, the emperor is so cautious."

Concubine Yi didn't expect that, and said repeatedly: "Shouldn't she be in a hurry? If the Empress Dowager falls, Concubine De will have no support. What can she do with her natal family's little face? This time she didn't give birth to a son. The position of noble concubine, she must be very nervous." But she rolled her eyes and sneered again, "Speaking of which, now that he is married to Niu Hulu, I heard that the little Wuya clan is very powerful, and he has made his family's concubine My sister-in-law is stunned."

"I've seen it a few times, she is indeed a shrewd and capable girl, and she is still very young." Concubine Hui said, thinking of her son's future Fujin. Gradually there was no sound over there, she discussed with Mingzhu and chose the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, but if the higher-ups didn't really nod for a day, she wouldn't feel at ease for a day.

Coincidentally, whatever you want, the wet nurse is coming to report that Elder Brother Eleven is ready to go to the Palace of Compassion, when Baoyun enters the door and announces: "The wife and young lady of Mr. Kerkun, Minister of the Household Department, are here to give Your Majesty, please greet me."

Concubine Hui frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe it, and Concubine Yi yelled beside her, "I haven't congratulated my sister yet, it's been spread all over the palace, isn't it, I heard that we are going to marry Fujin to our elder brother, and they all say that he is the Minister of the Household Department I haven't seen your daughter, what a coincidence to come here today."

Concubine Hui also thought it was a coincidence, and even felt that it was inappropriate for Concubine Yi to be here, so she said tactfully: "Little girl has a thin skin, sister, don't scare the child for a while, the character has not been written yet, what if it is not the case , it would seem that the two of us have made our own decisions when we speak out."

Concubine Yi is also a smart person, she kept saying that she asked the nurse to lead the brothers to wait, and then sent Bao Yun to invite her in, as if she was so enthusiastic that she was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and before anyone came in, she murmured: "Time is too late!" How soon, when I first entered the palace, Eldest Brother was still a little kid, and now he is about to marry a wife."

Not long after, I saw a noble lady who was much older than Concubine Hui leading a petite girl in. The mother and daughter greeted Ann respectfully. Speaking of the reason for entering the palace, it was the queen mother who summoned them to the palace to receive the reward. , invited Ann in Ningshou Palace, and the concubine asked her to come to Changchun Palace and said that Concubine Hui also had something to say to them.

This stunned Concubine Hui, the Queen Mother didn't say a word to her, she never heard that the mother and daughter would be allowed into the palace today, but Concubine Hui was born with a delicate heart, so she quickly smiled and said: "It's nothing important Thing, I occasionally heard that you have asthma symptoms, and the other day in Ningshou Palace, I mentioned that I have dried crocodile meat here, which is left unused, but I just said something casually, and the queen mother is thinking about it, probably to let you Come get this thing."

Concubine Hui said, and ordered Bao Yun to bring it to Mrs. Kerkun, and Concubine Yi also chatted with her. Mrs. Kerkun is a little old, so she is old enough to have such a young daughter, and the child is gentle and quiet. Sitting quietly at the side, Concubine Hui kept looking at the child while Concubine Yi was talking to her mother. Occasionally, the little girl noticed Concubine Hui looking at her, smiling sweetly and lowering her head shyly.

People are very particular about their eyesight, let alone their future daughter-in-law. At that time, Mingzhu mentioned to her the daughter of the Shangshu family of the household department, and Concubine Hui knew the background of their family.The Ergenjueluo family is one of the eight surnames in Manchuria. When I came to Kerkun, the family had more sons, and it was easy to have a few daughters, all of whom were concubines. Only the one in front of me is a concubine. They are much nobler.

Concubine Hui is not dissatisfied with this, and she likes it when she looks at it. If she has to pick some faults, this girl is not very beautiful.But marrying a wife, virtue, concubine and sex, Concubine Hui understands that her son will have side fortunes and concubines in the future. The daughter-in-law is the elder sister-in-law. Although she is not comparable to the princess, she is also a very noble existence among the brothers. Compared with her appearance, her birth is the most important thing.

The mother and daughter left soon. Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui were going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and let the children go ahead. Because they had something to say, they walked behind with umbrellas. Concubine Yi said first: " There is really no choice of background, the Ministry of Household Affairs is a big job, big brother will open a government office and build a mansion in the future, so you don’t have to worry about the family’s expenses, and the father-in-law doesn’t give you everything?”

Hearing this, Concubine Hui wondered why his son would rely on his wife's natal family for his son to eat soft food, her face remained calm, and then she heard Concubine Yi ramble: "It's just that the child's appearance is not very good, but fortunately he is still young, he has become a After two more years, little Fujin will appear."

"The one with my elder brother within a year is a child born at the end of the year. It's just a child." Concubine Hui responded indifferently, and then told Concubine Yi, "Don't mention it when you arrive at the Palace of Compassion. Originally, elder brother Li Fujin It is not our turn to intervene in the matter, which was also chosen by the Queen Mother, so what right do we have to talk about it behind our backs."

Concubine Yi smiled at her, knowing something in her heart, she would not say anything.

The two arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. It was very lively here. It seemed that the Empress Dowager had no symptoms. They kowtowed together in the main hall to pay their respects. After the children received their rewards, the Empress Dowager asked them to sit down and drink a bowl of herbal tea to talk. It was only half an hour later, and then people came one after another, arranged for lunch, played cards with them in the afternoon, and left only after the Empress Dowager wanted to take a rest.

Lan Qi stayed beside the Empress Dowager and fanned her all the time. After a long time, Madam Su Mala brought mung bean soup for her to use, and said softly, "I'm not afraid of the heat when I'm asleep, and my mother will rest for a while."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "I'm afraid I'll sleep, I'll stay with you for a while, the Empress Dowager should wake up, it's getting late." She picked up the spoon and was about to drink mung bean soup, when Wen Xian's loud cry suddenly echoed in Ci Ning There was a sound in the palace, and the empress dowager woke up on the bed. Before she could sit up, she asked, "Who is here? Why is the child crying?"

Lan Qi came to wait for the old man to get up, Mammy Su Mala went out to see why, and soon came in with the crying princess in her arms. The great-grandmother was so distressed that she held her in her arms to comfort her, while Lan Qi asked her, "What? thing?"

Wen Xian, who was in the empress dowager's arms, cried: "Brother hit me, Er Niang, fourth brother hit me."

Aunt Su Mala said: "The fourth elder brother is over there. He just came from the study to greet the Empress Dowager. As for whether he beat the princess or not, the slaves have not seen." "Bring him here, what are children afraid of fighting?" The Empress Dowager didn't care, but Madam Su Mala said, "There's another crying over there, why don't you go over and have a look?"

Aunt Su Mala said that the other one who was crying was the daughter of the Ulanara family. Today, during the festival, she was taken into the palace by the imperial concubine as usual. The future Sifujin has long been known to everyone, and everyone is not surprised, and treats them like children in the palace.

When Lan Qi came over, Yuxi was sitting on the threshold wiping tears, and the fourth elder brother stood aside with his hands behind his back, with the same expression as his Huang Ama when he frowned, and said a little impatiently: "Don't cry, I will Let the imperial doctor come and show you?"

Lan Qi approached and asked what was the matter, Yuxi remained sullen and said nothing, then saw Yinzhen grabbing her arm and lifting up a sleeve, two rows of teeth marks on her snow-white arm, Yinzhen said: "Ms. This is what Wen Xian bit."
