Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The Empress Dowager was not relieved when she heard what the imperial concubine said. Instead, she reminded: "Just talk in front of me. In front of others, you need to know what to say and what not to say. You have to have your own majesty and dignity." Noble, don't let people see through your mind at every turn. I know that you must have an explanation to the Uranala family. How to speak, you should weigh it yourself, don't lose the dignity of the royal family, there are many good girls in the world, not them The daughter of the family does not marry."

"Remember, concubine." The imperial concubine seldom showed such admiration. Lan Qi watched from the side and knew that she was for the fourth elder brother.As the empress dowager said, the imperial concubine has always devoted herself to the fourth elder brother. Her own faults and shortcomings are hard to correct, but she did not allow the fourth elder brother to be contaminated with these. Whenever she thinks of these, Lan Qi does not regret it With that decision at the time, maybe the imperial concubine would never know that it was her wish that the fourth elder brother would go to Chengqian Palace, maybe it was better this way.

The two of them exited the bedroom together, and they happened to see Yuxi and Wen Xian holding hands and following Madam Su Mala coming from the small kitchen. After all, Yuxi was older than Wen Xian, leading her younger sister like a big sister, and holding her hand in the little princess's hand. While eating the pastry, she reached out to wipe off the pastry crumbs on Wen Xian's face from time to time.

When Wen Xian saw them, he hurried over and held up the cakes in his hand: "Ama gave you a lot of delicious food, the imperial concubine and empress will eat together."

The imperial concubine smiled and said a few words to her, seeing Yuxi standing obediently behind her, she still liked it very much in her heart, and remembered that the empress dowager came to eat with her, the children might be surprised to leave now, Seeing her hesitating expression, Lan Qi said: "My lady, talk to the children for a while, and the concubine is going to prepare dinner, and the empress dowager will also use it later."

The imperial concubine didn't speak, Lan Qi walked away, seeing how she was familiar with the way in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, seeing how the maids and eunuchs in the Palace of Compassion and Eunuch obeyed Concubine De's words, she looked around at everything in the palace, with mixed feelings in her heart .

She has not forgotten the evil she once did. She still remembers what she said to Wuya Lanqi once upon a time, and every time she thinks of it, a chill runs down her spine. It can't be erased, even every time I see Concubine De, I think, does she still remember those words?

The ladies enjoyed the dinner together. After the meal, Lan Qi had to wait for the Empress Dowager to sleep. The imperial concubine didn't have to do these things, so she brought Yuxi and Wen Xian back to the Qian Palace first. When Lan Qi came back, she happened to be in the palace. On the road, I met the imperial concubine and her party. She had just sent Wen Xian back to the Ningshou Palace. When she saw Lan Qi, she said coldly: "You have been staying in the Compassionate Ning Palace all day, don't you miss the little princess? Just now you Passing by the door, I heard the cry of the child."

Lan Qi had a sense of proportion in her heart, and responded calmly: "The wet nurses are all well-trained, and they can take care of the children better than the concubines. The concubines are very relieved."

The imperial concubine frowned, and walked up slowly, shaking the round fan in her hand: "In the final analysis, the Compassionate Ning Palace cannot do without you, can it?"

"The concubine dare not." Lan Qi responded, but she muttered in her heart, what happened to the imperial concubine?

When the two approached, Lan Qi lowered her head slightly, feeling that the imperial concubine was looking at her. Lighting up lanterns in summer is easy to attract mosquitoes. On the road, the little eunuchs will hold the lanterns to lead the way from afar, guided by the moonlight and lanterns Moving forward, at this moment the imperial concubine can only see her by the hazy moonlight, Lan Qi can vaguely see the embroidery on the skirt of the imperial concubine with her head down, presumably the imperial concubine can also see her face and expression clearly at this moment.

The imperial concubine stood still, shaking the fan in her hand, and said slowly: "How is the health of the empress dowager? There are often rumors in the palace recently that the empress dowager is not in good health. You are by my side every day, you should know best .”

"As you can see, the Empress Dowager is very good." Lan Qi replied, "The Empress Dowager is very old, so naturally she can't be younger than the younger ones, or if you have headaches, brain fever, and back pain, it should be a matter of age. People are too fussy."

"Do you still remember what I said to you before?" The imperial concubine suddenly said this wordlessly, and Lan Qi couldn't help raising her face to look at her. The imperial concubine had said a lot, how did she know where it was? one sentence?

The imperial concubine frowned slightly, coughed dryly and said: "I used to be young and short-sighted, and even a little narrow-minded. I feel ashamed of what I said, but you have always been praised for your generosity. I hope you don't take it to heart. "

Lan Qi was startled when she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at the moonlight in the sky, the moon must have risen from the east today, it's really unusual for the imperial concubine to be able to say words of self-reflection to others.

"You have to take good care of the empress dowager. The empress dowager is here to take care of you and our fourth elder brother. After all, you are the biological mother of the fourth elder brother. You have to think about him. In a blink of an eye, the sixth elder brother is gone for almost a year. You still don't know Whether you can have another son in this life, Yinzhen will be your only reliance in the future, so from now on, you must put him first in everything you do." The imperial concubine's words clearly came prepared , speaking in a leisurely manner, compared to the bluffing and impatient posture in the past, it is more persuasive.

"My concubine has written down what your empress said." Lan Qi knew that no matter how she felt about the imperial concubine's actions, she must agree with her mouth, otherwise the conversation this month would be endless.

"Remember, you don't just talk about it, you have to do it with your heart." The imperial concubine smiled slightly, as if she was satisfied with Lan Qi's reaction, she waved her fan and looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed faintly, "Tomorrow will definitely be sunny again. When will the hot day pass?"

After the two parties parted ways, Lan Qi thought about what the imperial concubine was talking about tonight. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she came to visit her sleeping little daughter. Her little girl was not as beautiful as her two older sisters when they were born, but her naive face was very flattering. I like it, seeing the child can always forget her troubles, when she walked into her house, she raised her eyes and saw the place where Yinzuo lived before, and her heart twitched for a while. It has been a year, but why did she feel that Yinzuo was still there yesterday? Acting like a baby in your arms?

Huanchun saw that her master's expression was not good, and knew that she must be hurt again, so she thought of something else to distract her. When talking about the matter of the imperial concubine just now, Lan Qi changed her mind and said to her: "You What's wrong with the empress, she came here to say these words to me in a good manner, did what the empress dowager said today made her wake up?"

Hearing Huan Chun say it was strange, Lan Qi thought about what the imperial concubine had said, and suddenly she became excited. Compared with her saying that she should take good care of the empress dowager herself, so that the elderly parents can live to a hundred years old, she suddenly remembered the invincible little concubine Tong from the past He once said to himself that the Empress Dowager will drive west someday, and see who else can support her when the time comes, and see why she, Wu Yalanqi, is proud of herself in this palace.To put it bluntly, Concubine Tong once hoped that the Empress Dowager would die soon.

When it was mentioned at this moment, Huan Chun also sighed: "This year, the imperial concubine has changed a lot."

"Yeah, looking through old accounts, she tortured me a lot, and now no one in the palace would dare to torment people like this. She made me stand barefoot in the cold, and sister Duanfei also lost her life because of that incident. I have a child, and I still hate her." Lan Qi smiled wryly, and sat in front of the mirror to look at her face. Although she was still young, she couldn't compare to the appearance of a little girl ten years ago. Time will leave imprints, and it will definitely take away What, I can't help but sigh, "If the imperial concubine can really abandon everything she used to, it will be the fourth elder brother's blessing. There is nothing wrong with her words. I have to think about Yinzhen. Yinzuo is gone, and I owe Yinzhen all the time." Zhen, you should pay more attention to him."

"Your Majesty, don't say anything that you owe the fourth elder brother. This servant feels that the fourth elder brother is very calm and calm when facing you and the imperial concubine, and knows how to deal with the biological mother and adoptive mother." Huanchun comforted her, "You and the imperial concubine are both parties involved. , may not be able to understand clearly, the servants are watching from the side, the fourth elder brother is really a caring child."

"Really?" Lan Qi finally smiled a little bit, and gradually began to turn her sadness for Yinzuo into a vision for Yinzhen's future, but she still said unwillingly, "I really want to give him another younger brother, a compatriot from the same mother." Brothers are always different, in the future they will become the right and left arm of the emperor, and they will have to face more things."

This night, Lan Qi slept soundly, but in the middle of the night she seemed to hear someone talking outside, because she was too exhausted after a whole day in the Compassionate Ning Palace, she turned over and fell asleep in a daze. Bringing it up, Luzhu replied: "It's someone from Jingyang Palace, who said Zhang promised to be uncomfortable. The concubine Rong said that sister Huanchun's sour plums are good, so she sent someone to ask for some. The empress really bothered, it's already midnight Still taking care of Zhang promised."

Lan Qi then said that it was still early to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she would go to Jingyang Palace to see what Zhang promised. I have something to say.

When Lan Qi went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to say what Zhang promised, everyone in the Six Palaces also knew the news of her discomfort. Ping Guiren, who had been confined here for a whole spring and didn't even expect to be able to go out in summer, was also able to leave the house. The well-informed palace lady knew from her mouth that she cursed Zhang Jia for not being able to bear this son, and said with hatred: "It must be a deliberate disturbance, so that the people in the palace will continue to watch my jokes, as long as Zhang Jia promises to be uneasy. , I can’t lift my head, can I?”

Turning around and looking at the faint scar on his forehead in the mirror, he said bitterly: "It's better to kick her in the stomach. Anyway, no one knows that she is pregnant, so why don't they kill me?"

This is of course an angry statement. Noble person Ruoping really kicked out the child that Zhang promised. Whether she knew it or not, it was a mortal sin. How could she be allowed to live in luxury at this moment, let alone cursing others unsatisfied.

While she was cursing, a court lady came in from the door, offering a delicate gilt box with both hands, and said: "The thing sent by Changchun Palace is said to be an ointment for removing scars. Concubine Hui, please try nobleman Ping. Don't leave a scar on your forehead."
