Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The cards in her hand were pinched out of shape, Lan Qi was heartbroken, and she didn't dare to reveal too much in front of the Empress Dowager, so she came in to rectify her mood, but the old man knew her too well, and she knew something bad was going on just by looking at her face, Concerned: "Did something happen in the Yonghe Palace? After all, there are two baby babies, shouldn't you stay with me all the time?"

"Princess and elder brother are all well, it's something at home." Lan Qi lowered her head and dealt with the cards, and slowly told the Empress Dowager Lanying what happened, but worried that the old man was in a hurry, the Empress Dowager just sighed, "I looked at her that day, my own stature Pregnancy is really hard. Xuan Ye couldn't keep those children in his early years. Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were too young at that time. It was much better when you were pregnant with the fourth elder brother. You can keep your first child and take care of it better than them. You are blessed. Don't be too sad, she is still young, and it will not be too late to take care of her after a few years of recuperation."

At that time, Lan Qi was also in the same mood, so she didn't want to complicate the matter. She just waited for Madam Wu Ya to enter the palace two days later, she wiped her tears and said that both the imperial physicians in the palace and the doctors outside the palace had seen it, and said that Yinger didn't have a spontaneous abortion, but Injured by drugs, I even worry that I have already hurt the root. I may not be able to bear children in three or four years.

"My concubine always thought that if she could give birth to a boy and a half girl, she would be able to straighten her back at Niu Hulu's house. The first time she went back to her mother's house, she told me that the monthly letter hadn't arrived, so I asked the doctor at home to show it to me. Now, I am very happy to know that it is Ximai, but I am afraid that there will be some mistakes in the mansion, so I don't ask her to tell her family, but she must be very careful, and she will end up like this." Mrs. Wu Ya's teary eyes, good It took a long time to calm down, and sighed, "I shouldn't have said this to the empress, she has her own destiny."

I heard that it was caused by drugs. When I asked which imperial physician had gone to the palace, Lan Qi immediately had someone summon her. The imperial physician was originally working for Niu Hulu's family, so to speak, he was loyal to the noble concubine, but now that the two palaces are married, Ah Ling is right. The charming wife is very doting, most of these people still obey orders outside the palace, so they don't care about the imperial concubine, and tell the concubine De concubine everything.

Sure enough, the imperial doctor in the palace was used to see it, not only as simple as seeing a doctor, Lanying checked everything in the room, and there was nothing abnormal, just waited to ask Xin Fujin's daily diet and what he had eaten in those few days, everything was checked. Nothing came of it, until the mention of the Laba porridge that Xianfu Palace offered on Laba day, the whole family ate it, and only one bowl remained to be enshrined in the ancestral hall. After checking, some saffron was found in the porridge.

Several imperial physicians asked people to eat the bowl of Laba porridge separately. According to the complexion and pulse of each person, this bowl of seemingly simple Laba porridge should contain a huge amount of saffron. The breath is covered, and ordinary people eat at most stomach discomfort and hyperactivity. It is not surprising that people drink alcohol or eat too much on that day.

According to the girl next to Fujin, Fujin felt unwell that afternoon, everyone just thought it was sick, but in the middle of the night, he started to have unbearable abdominal pain and even became red, so he rushed to find a doctor, but it was too late, Fujin was in pain for a long time The stomach in the evening was finally relieved in the morning of the ninth day of the ninth day, and the child was gone.

"My lady, saffron is a rare and precious medicinal material, and it is not easy for ordinary people to get it. This year, the use of it in the Taiyuan Hospital is limited. For this bowl of porridge, the person who prescribed the medicine really spent a lot of money. If you want to check, there are medicinal materials shops everywhere. Accounts, when and when someone buys a large amount of saffron, you can check it, if you really have the ability to bring it from other places, it is too shrewd." The imperial doctor said to Lan Qi like this, and said that Lord Alinga had sent someone Go check it out and wait for the results.

But Lan Qi didn't pay much attention to these words. What made her frown was the word Xianfu Palace. After hearing that the imperial doctor said that the saffron used in the palace this year was limited, she asked, "Do you mean that although this Laba porridge is from Xianfu Palace It was rewarded to the mansion, but it was not the medicine given by the imperial concubine?"

The imperial doctor said: "I dare not guarantee whether the imperial concubine has anything to do with this matter, but it is really impossible for the imperial concubine to get so many saffron from the people who live deep in the harem. To put it bluntly, my lord will not pass it on for the empress. Things, where do you get your mother?"

This is indeed the truth. After the imperial doctor left, Mrs. Wu Ya told her daughter that her son-in-law came to her and her husband to plead guilty, saying that he did not take good care of Yinger, and that although the Laba porridge was a gift from the imperial concubine, if the imperial concubine needed to pass it on in the palace What, it has always been handled by the family, and the family has never sent her a large amount of saffron. It is almost impossible for her to prepare these things in the Xianfu Palace and then send them out. Right now, she has been looking around in the capital to see if anyone buys saffron in large quantities. The truth must come to light, and Lan Ying should be given an explanation.

"Ah Ling'er is doing her best, but it's of no use. If Ying'er can't bear another child in this life, her life in Niu Hulu's house will be harder than it is now. Ah Ling'er is older than her. If she takes a step forward in the future, She doesn't have a child under her knees, how can she get a foothold in Niu Hulu's house?" Lan Qi frowned, deeply worried, "I don't know if I will be there at that time, who will protect her."

This matter went round and round, and Lan Qi couldn't help complaining that Xuan Ye had arranged this marriage for her sister again. Although she knew it was unreasonable to think so, the matter could not be resolved, let alone see the future, people always entangled in the past hold on.

Xuan Ye knew about Lan Qi's temper, although it was just a small matter of miscarriage in the minister's family, the emperor shouldn't have to ask about it, but because it related to Lan Qi, he still asked a little bit.When I came to Yonghe Palace that day, Concubine De was still in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Xuan Ye teased the two children by herself, when Lan Qi came back, she saw Xuan Ye was dipping something from her teacup for the princess to taste, the people next to her Without saying a word, Lan Qi rushed in to stop her: "Your Majesty, what are you giving your daughter?"

Originally, the two children were fine, but they were frightened by Er Niang's exclamation, and they cried one after the other, causing headaches. Xuan Ye blamed her: "I was very obedient and quiet with them, but you came back Only then."

Lan Qi saw that there was only a bowl of clear water in Xuan Ye's cup, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and blamed Xuan Ye: "The emperor deliberately frightened the concubine? You know that the concubine came in, right?"

"I'm teasing you, change your clothes quickly, it's hot in the room, I'm sweating after wearing so many clothes." Xuan Ye was in a good mood, and there were a few memorials on the table, because there was nothing important, but just a greeting As for the booklet, he handed it away, and when Lan Qi came back after changing her clothes, it was already packed here.

Xuan Ye said: "Today your sister was sent back to her mother's house to take care of her body. She said it was A Ling'ah. I shouldn't care about these things, but I wanted to tell you when I heard about it."

"Before the Empress Dowager said it would be better to let her go back to her mother's house to have a baby, and the concubine joked that the husband and wife were inseparable. If you listened to what the Empress Dowager said, it probably wouldn't be the case." Lan Qi couldn't help but complain, Blame Xuanye, "If the emperor didn't point out the marriage, how could Ying'er suffer this crime."

The emperor didn't care, it was just a sentence, and there was something serious to say right now, "I was worried that you would impulsively find trouble with the imperial concubine, and after waiting for two days, there was a lot of gossip in the palace, but there was no movement from your side."

"The concubine is in the Palace of Compassion and Ning every day. How can the Empress Dowager listen to the truth, can she not be calm?" Lan Qi took the tea from Huanchun and drank half a bowl in one go before continuing, "Ah Ling Ah also asked Er Niang to bring in some words. The concubine knows that the imperial concubine is not capable of getting so many saffron flowers, but don't the emperor think that the concubine doesn't care about it. What if she has something to do with the imperial concubine? She can pretend to be someone else. Niu Hulu's family doesn't just have one Ling."

Xuan Ye laughed and said: "Ah Ling'a and his elder brother Fakasu Sulai are not on good terms, everyone knows that Fakesu's Fujin and Aling'a's original spouse are cousins, there is another layer here Benefit relationship."

Lan Qi listened to Xuan Ye's eloquence, she suddenly felt guilty, and advised him: "Your Majesty, don't bother with this matter for the sake of my concubine, it's really not worth your attention, my concubine was just hypocritical, don't take it seriously Although Ying'er has suffered, it can be seen that Ling'a is very dedicated to her. This is their husband and wife's business, so be more ruthless. If Ying'er is not careful, no one else can blame her."

"Although I shouldn't interfere with the family affairs of the ministers, I must understand them so that I can find conflicts and threaten the rights of all parties. In the past, Mingzhu and Nalan Rongruo were not in harmony, but Niu Hulu's family, these two brothers who are fighting like cocks , is my handle." Xuan Ye leaned down leisurely, stretched his muscles and bones and said slowly, "I don't know if this incident has something to do with it here, or whether it has something to do with the imperial concubine, but I want you to answer a question. thing."

"Could it be that the emperor..." Lan Qi guessed the possibility, feeling very uncomfortable, turned her face away and said, "It's best not to have anything to do with her."

Xuan Ye took her by the hand and said, "I know this is selfish, but you have to understand that this is Niu Hulu's family affair after all, and I don't want to see who wins and who loses between the two brothers. Okay. Just to explain Zhu, after Rong Ruo died, I was confused for a while on how to deal with the relationship between the monarch and his ministers."

Lan Qi knew that she could not disobey the emperor's decision, since she was doomed to be helpless, she should fight for the final justice for her sister, so she said to Xuan Ye: "How to deal with this matter in the end, the concubine will follow the emperor's orders, but the emperor also agrees to the concubine's decision." one thing."

"You said."

Lan Qi said solemnly: "Lanying will spend her whole life in Niu Hulu's house, and she must not be blinded by the truth, and she may be poisoned in the future. Therefore, this matter must be investigated to the end, and the concubines and concubines must be let Lanying knows who did it, even if it's the imperial concubine, you don't want to pursue it, at least let our sisters know."

"I will give you an explanation, but I can't destroy the balance of their family because of Lan Ying. What I want is courtiers who can be controlled. They must have weaknesses in front of me." Xuan Ye was equally serious, But Xu Nuo Lanqi, "If it is related to the imperial concubine, I will give you an explanation, and I will not tolerate it easily."
