Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

I'm afraid that before the emperor returns, no one knows why the empress concubine De is left in the Qianqing Palace in the middle of the night. She will drive to the Xianfu Palace tonight and intend to stay there for the night. Unexpectedly, the emperor will come tonight. Everyone knows that Lantern Festival is the night of the emperor and his concubine's engagement.

In the dining hall of Xianfu Palace, there were more than a dozen exquisite side dishes on the table. The emperor held a bowl of millet porridge, but he only took a few mouthfuls of food in front of him. He didn't look at the other dishes. Always busy with things, where can I get a few mouthfuls of food, a bowl of porridge is more solid."

Concubine Wen smiled and gave the emperor two pieces of honey-soaked ginkgo in front of her, and said softly: "The emperor manages a lot of things every day, so he must not be sloppy in daily life. I heard that the emperor always eats simple food. The concubine thinks that although light is good, it should be rich." Nourishment is the key to success, isn't Eunuch Li not paying much attention now?"

Eunuch Li was waiting on the sidelines, laughing hurriedly: "Your Majesty said yes, the servant was negligent."

Xuanye didn't touch the honey-stained ginkgo, but smiled and said: "You have always been good at food and drink, and the people in the palace are also in good health. Why don't you see the nobleman Juechan attending the banquet today? I heard that she is sick?"

Concubine Wen's heart trembled when she heard the words, she felt faintly uneasy, but she managed to maintain a calm look, and said with a smile: "Mr. Making clothes, burning lamps and staying up for a few days at night, my body is weak, I just hope that these days will improve, and I will attend the wedding of the elder brother on the [-]th." After speaking, he smiled sweetly: "The concubine is not serious yet. Congratulations to the emperor."

She said that she left her seat and got up, as if she wanted to congratulate the emperor, but Xuan Ye stood up and said: "There will be excitement on that day, there is no need to be formal at this moment, since the nobleman Jue Chan is ill, I will go and see her."

The emperor walked out the door as he spoke, Concubine Wen was half-squatting and froze on the spot, it was Dong Yun who called her, and she suddenly woke up, rushed over to stop Xuan Ye and said: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body. Master Zen has a cold, so what if it infects the emperor, these days even the ten elder brothers are not allowed to play along, the emperor is tired today, so let the concubine wait for you to rest earlier."

"It's not too late, I just drank the porridge and can't lie down." Xuan Ye smiled lightly, and walked outside, "It's nothing important, I took a look at her from a distance, she was happy and her illness was cured Hurry up. After all, she is the eighth elder brother's biological mother, if I neglect her too much, it will make people look down on the eighth elder brother, right?"

"Yes." Concubine Wen replied helplessly, but seeing that the emperor was about to go to Jue Chan's side hall again, she became anxious. There was no one there, and Jue Chan was still thrown in the room where the utensils were piled up by her. , She has been busy all day, and she doesn't know whether the people inside are dead or alive.

"Your majesty, why don't you ask your concubine to go and see first. If the nobleman Jue Chan is still awake, you can just go over and say a few words. If he is asleep, the emperor will not go there." Concubine Wen grabbed the emperor's arm with both hands. , showing a charming and gentle expression, and said softly, "It's rare for the emperor to come to Xianfu Palace, do you still want to see the nobleman Jue Chan? The concubine feels very uncomfortable, so I don't want to go tonight, okay?"

Xuan Ye smiled: "You are under the same roof, I thought you wouldn't care, it's my negligence, I shouldn't ignore your feelings." As soon as he turned around, he was about to go to the imperial concubine's bedroom, and Concubine Wen followed happily, But the emperor's next words stunned her.

While holding her hand, the emperor told Eunuch Li: "Go and take a look at the nobleman Juechan. If you are seriously ill, the imperial doctor Xuan will take a look."

"emperor……"

"Let's talk, I don't feel sleepy yet, I haven't had a chance to talk to you recently, and I don't care much about your family affairs. Your new sister-in-law has no children, so why don't you care about it?" the emperor said flatly. She held her hand and walked forward with Concubine Wen in her hand. In the past, the concubine would have been moved to tears by the act of holding hands, but how does she feel today that the emperor is afraid that she will run away and stop Eunuch Li?

Back in the bedroom, Eunuch Liang came to ask if he would like to serve the emperor to soak his feet to warm up his body and make him smell of alcohol. Xuan Ye nodded in response. Concubine Wen Gui was stunned and didn't know how to serve him. Water is an ordinary thing, but Eunuch Liang took out a paper bag from his arms like a conjuring trick, and sprinkled the saffron stamens covering the water with his hands, and said to the emperor with a smile: "The imperial doctor said that saffron can promote blood circulation, your majesty It is very good for the body to soak your feet.”

Eunuch Liang took off his boots for the emperor as he spoke, Xuan Ye raised his head and smiled at Concubine Wen Gui: "Although women should use this stuff with caution, it is an excellent medicinal material. Your hands and feet are cold in winter. If you feel that eating it may hurt your body, bring it here. Soaking your feet and taking a bath should be good, I will ask the Imperial Hospital to send you some tomorrow."

But Concubine Wen shook her head and stepped back step by step. Seeing that the hot water in the barrel was soaked in blood with saffron, Concubine Wen's eyes seemed to bleed, she shook her head and said, "I don't need it, my concubine." Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Xuan Ye smiled lightly and said: "That's right, you have a lot of these things in your palace, and they are probably better than what I use, so naturally I don't need to bother."

"emperor?"

"Perhaps you have good intentions. You have done bad things with good intentions. You wanted to let your family make up for it. You put in Laba porridge to invigorate blood and warm your body in winter, right? It's a pity that your sister-in-law is pregnant and can't stand such a strong medicine. Pity your nephew who has never seen the light of day." Xuan Ye said calmly, and even smiled at the imperial concubine, "Don't blame yourself too much, she is still young, and she will have the opportunity to give birth to children for your Niu Hulu family in the future. "

"No, your majesty, my concubine, my concubine don't understand what you are talking about, your majesty..." Concubine Wen fell to the ground with her feet limp. I couldn't say it, but the tears flowed down involuntarily.

But at this moment, Eunuch Li came over from outside, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the nobleman Jue Chan wants to greet you, but the servant brought the nobleman here."

"Let her come in." Xuan Ye said as he asked Eunuch Liang to dry his feet and put on shoes and socks. He waited for him to tidy up here. However, he saw a few eunuchs rushing in to bring in a woman who looked like a gossamer. It was the warmth in the room that revived her frozen body. The weak person opened her eyes slightly, but because the light was too glaring, she quickly closed them in pain.

Eunuch Li lowered his head with a cold face and said: "I just went to pay respects to the nobleman. When I passed by a room, I heard some movement inside. I thought it was some little eunuch with dirty hands and feet, or some court lady doing messy things, so I took him with me." People went in to take a look, but they didn't know that the nobleman was lying on the ground dying, and speaking of it, the maids around the nobleman also disappeared."

Concubine Wen Guifei sat paralyzed by the side, her eyes were full of despair, she was so naive, the emperor hadn't been to her Xianfu Palace for so long, she almost forgot about it, today was such a good day, Tete came here, and it happened that she was in the palace These things happened in the past few days, she kept Dong Yun tight-lipped, why would anyone know, why would the emperor know?

It was Wu Yalanqi who filed the complaint, and it was her?How much eyeliner has she arranged here? Could it be that her every move is under her nose?

"Your Majesty, the nobleman Jue Chan has scars all over his body. He seems to have been tortured and beaten, and his body is already showing signs of being frostbitten. I think that if I don't seek medical treatment in time, I'm afraid I will lose my life. Right now, in the first lunar month, the elder brother's wedding ceremony is also taking place. Right now, it is really inappropriate for such a thing to happen." Eunuch Li asked the emperor for instructions while speaking.

Xuanye came prepared, knowing everything, and responded to Eunuch Li's words: "The Yanxi Palace happened to be cleaned by someone a few days ago, so the nobleman Juechan was sent to the East Side Palace there, and she will live there from now on. , the ten princes in Xianfu Palace are getting bigger, so it’s inevitable that it’s not spacious enough, there should be room.”

Eunuch Li took the order, and quickly asked people to lift the nobleman Juechan, and at the same time sent people to search the Xianghe and others who were under house arrest from other houses, and asked them to clean up the nobleman Juechan and follow him quickly.

There was a lot of noise outside, but the bedroom was deathly silent. The candles in the room were almost burnt out. Eunuch Liang brought people to replace them, but Xuan Ye waved them back. He walked over and put the candles one by one. The lamp was blown out, and the room, which was as bright as day, gradually fell into darkness. In the end, the outside of the door appeared brighter. The emperor could not see Concubine Wen, who was slumped on the ground, and Concubine Wen could only vaguely see his slender figure.

"Those who don't know are not guilty. You accidentally harmed your sister-in-law. I don't blame you. You are young yourself. There are indeed many things you don't understand. I have no intention of pursuing it." The emperor said calmly, "But torturing a concubine is a crime No, I just said that Jue Chan is the eighth elder brother's biological mother. I can't let the eighth elder brother be looked down upon because of his biological mother. The children are all the same in my eyes, and our tenth elder brother is the same. Raise our son well, if you are unable to bear this responsibility, you can also send the child to elder brother's place, and someone will take care of it for you."

"What is the emperor going to do?" Concubine Wen Gui finally forced out a word out of despair.

"I don't want people to know that noble Jue Chan was abused by you, and I don't want her to embarrass Brother Ba. I won't publicize this matter, but you must reflect on your own mistakes, and even the matter of accidentally harming your sister-in-law You have to reflect on yourself." Xuan Ye sighed slightly at this moment, "It's a pity that you can't attend the big brother's wedding. I think you should reflect on yourself in the future, and then let big brother Fujin come to greet you, and there will be no one from me in the future. Order, just stay in Xianfu Palace."

"Is the emperor going to turn this concubine into a cold palace?" In the darkness, it seemed that Concubine Wen's eyes were gleaming with ferocious light. She cried and asked angrily, "The emperor is so partial to Wu Ya, she It's that good, for her, are you going to put the dignified concubine in limbo?"

Xuan Ye had already walked to the door, and when he heard this sentence, he turned around and looked at the faintly discernible figure in the darkness and said, "So what?"
