Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The eldest elder brother was full of spirits, and responded to his great-grandmother with a smile: "Grandson, take note, great-grandmother, you must stay healthy, and wait for us Fujin to give you a great-great-grandson."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "This child is indeed a married man, so he is not ashamed. It's done, I'll wait, you have to treat your daughter-in-law well." After saying that, she sent the elder brother to Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace to salute. Said not to delay the time, and at the same time reminded, "I won't come in much after leaving the palace, but don't just focus on the front matter, come often to say hello to your mother."

Even though the Empress Dowager didn't like Concubine Hui, it wouldn't make the elder brother go against common sense in terms of human relations and filial piety, not to mention that the son belonged to someone else, and she would not be around sooner or later, so she couldn't control the present if she could control the future.

After Eldest Brother left, there was nothing to do in the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Because the Empress Dowager was not in good health, people from the clan were not allowed to invite An Daoxi now. Xuan Ye persuaded the grandmother that the body is the most important thing in everything, so what happened after the elder brother's wedding today, the banquet at the elder brother's mansion and the banquet in the palace have nothing to do with the Palace of Compassion.

Lan Qi and Aunt Su Mala changed the empress dowager's court clothes. The old man let go of the shackles and lazily leaned on the kang. Watching Lan Qi put away the court crown, she said with a soft smile: "That thing is very heavy. On the head, the heart is heavy."

Lan Qi put the imperial crown in the brocade box, put on the lock, heard what the Empress Dowager said, and said with a smile: "It's rare to wear it once, seeing you today is very energetic."

"When you wear this thing, you will understand your responsibilities in your heart. No matter what, you must hold your head high, and you must not lose your dignity. In the future, you..." The Empress Dowager half-spoken, but for some reason, she did not continue, and instead sent Lan Qi to the Changchun Palace. "The six palaces are all going to join in the fun, and you should also go to meet the scene. You have to learn from Concubine Rong. It's not a bad thing to be able to have a source. I know you have a lot of fear of Concubine Hui now, but why show it on your face, just know it in your heart."

Aunt Su Mala also persuaded: "Young lady, go and have a look, just take it as a fun, and you will know what to do when the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother get married in the future. Brothers grow up, but they all blink thing."

So Lan Qi couldn't refuse, she put aside the matter of the Palace of Compassion and Ning first, and brought Huanchun to Changchun Palace, the place was festively decorated with lanterns and festoons. The concubines and concubines were all there, and they greeted each other, but seeing Concubine Hui sitting at the head with a lot of make-up, it was the first time in so many years that she showed a nervous expression. I'm too nervous to laugh anymore, if I can't keep my daughter-in-law down like this tomorrow, our elder brother will be taken down by Fujin in the future."

Concubine Hui blamed everyone for making a fool of herself, and not long after, a message came from the front, saying that the eldest brother came out of Ningshou Palace, and now he will go to Qianqing Palace. Speaking of the fact that the imperial concubine is accompanying the emperor to accept the gift at the Qianqing Palace, all kinds of gossip floated out, and what Lan Qi heard the most was that the imperial concubine was going to be a queen.

For the imperial concubine entering the palace, Lan Qi has always been most confused about what will happen to the fourth elder brother. She doesn't know if the fourth elder brother is considered a legitimate son in this way, but even in name, everyone knows that he is still the son of the concubine De. Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it's embarrassing to mention it.

And she would think this way, and others would also think of it. From time to time, someone would sneak a glance at Concubine De during the conversation. Of course, Lan Qi could feel that she was being watched, and Concubine Rong beside her whispered to her: "It's all just worrying about it. What are you doing with them?" Relevant? Everyone who sees the imperial concubine is like a mouse seeing a cat, they only gossip behind their backs."

Lan Qi smiled without saying a word, and looked up to see Concubine Hui, she was sitting upright, touching the chao bead on her chest from time to time, the chao bead was just rewarded by the empress dowager yesterday, it really shined very brightly , she is always worried that her appearance is not dignified enough, Bao Yun has been showing her the mirror, but Lan Qi, the onlookers, really can't understand Hui Fei's state of mind at the moment.

Thinking about myself, when the fourth elder brother gets married, my identity as the biological mother will inevitably be a little embarrassing. Whether the fourth elder brother will come to the Yonghe Palace to salute at that time depends entirely on the meaning of the imperial concubine. Although the thirteenth elder brother will definitely decide on her future wedding, but After all, it was not born by oneself, the feeling must be different.Originally, she had six elder brothers, and after a few years, she could really organize a wedding for her son, but now it has been almost two years since Yinzuo left her, and everything is probably due to the most beautiful person today and the family behind her gifted.

The rising resentment disturbed Lan Qi's mind, why did she think of these things, she immediately shook her head to wake herself up, and said a few casual words with Concubine Rong beside her to distract her attention.She promised Jue Chan that she would leave Concubine Hui to her, and she would just keep a distance from her in the future, and let Jue Chan decide her future.And what I should do is to protect the children stronger than ever.

Half an hour later, the elder brother finally came from the Qianqing Palace. He was young after all, and he didn't feel tired after tossing all morning. He was still in good spirits when he arrived in front of his mother. Lan Qi heard Concubine Rong tell her that the elder brother was younger than the emperor at his age. Taller, it is true that each generation is stronger than each generation.

Lan Qi didn't feel anything when she heard what the Empress Dowager said, but when she heard what Concubine Rong said, she felt a little sour for no reason.She had never seen Xuan Ye before Kangxi 12 years ago. In front of her, Sister Rong had some capital to show off, and besides, the Rong nobles in those years were also very favored.

"Look at Concubine Hui, your eyes are wet." Concubine Rong gently pushed Lan Qi, and Lan Qi looked over. Concubine Hui was sitting upright, watching her son kneeling twice and knocking six times, her eyes gradually turned red, and her eyes were shining brightly. Things were spinning around inside, Bao Yun hurriedly handed over the veil, she covered it up a little, it was better.

Think about the princes and princesses who died one after another in the early years, how noble her son was, but when the world changed, although the elder brother still has the glory of the eldest son of the emperor, but with the more noble existence of the prince of Yuqing Palace, and the emperor's respect for him The concubine's favor and closeness, the status of the concubine's elder brother and princess is also very different. The status of the eldest son of the emperor is not as good as before, and everyone understands that Concubine Hui has long since lost power. bit of dignity.

But this time, the elder brother's wedding was decent and grand, from top to bottom, every detail gave the Changchun Palace enough face. Concubine Hui might not be as glorious as she is today. After all, she didn't work hard for nothing. The son, the eldest son of the emperor, still holds a very important position in the emperor's heart.

Concubine Hui said a few words of instruction, but they were just the main principles on the scene, but she also spoke the truth with tears in her eyes, pity the hearts of parents in the world, at this moment she is just a mother-in-law.

Later, when the auspicious time comes, the elder brother should leave the palace and go to the elder brother's mansion to prepare for the future. There will be guards in the palace preparing eight colorful sedan chairs surrounded by red satin, and a chief of the house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be sent to lead them. There are 20 subordinate officials, and another 40 guards who lead the guards are responsible for marrying newcomers.

These things have been arranged long ago, and Concubine Hui has also given generous rewards one after another. Now it is an auspicious time for the elder brother to go. Da She was willing to ignore the rules for a while, and sent him all the way outside the Changchun Palace.

All the concubines followed to see the excitement, but at this moment, someone in front of the door said that the prince is coming.

Others didn't think it was wrong, but Lan Qi inadvertently caught a glimpse of the anger flashing across the elder brother's face, but the displeasure quickly disappeared, and even Concubine Hui pulled her son with a smile, as if signaling him with her eyes Be calm.Not long after the prince arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, after seeing the mothers and concubines, he laughed with Yinti and said, "I wanted to go to the royal brother's residence to congratulate you today, but just now Huang Ama ordered me to stay in the palace to accompany the banquet. , I can only go to the Emperor's Mansion to congratulate him another day, and I have come here to see off the Emperor."

Yinti's eyebrows trembled, he gritted his teeth secretly, and bowed his knees to the prince.

Lan Qi raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hui, and the eyes of the graceful and luxurious woman in court clothes showed a completely different gaze from the one she received in the hall just now, with bursts of cold murderous aura overflowing, making people dare not stare at her anymore.And Yinti had already finished his salute and got up, and said with a smile: "When the prince will come to the mansion, you must let me know in advance, so that I can burn incense and set up a case to welcome you."

The prince was smiling, gentle and courteous, and said modestly to his elder brother: "Why do you say that you and I are brothers and sisters, and we are all the same. The emperor's younger brother is admitted to the imperial examination today, and he will have more life experience than me in the future. In the future, our brothers will still be the same It’s good to support each other.”

After Lan Qi heard these words, she turned her face and saw Concubine Rong winking at her, she understood. Afterwards, the bustle of Changchun Palace dissipated, and the two sisters went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning together. Concubine Rong said to her: "The prince is indeed very angry. Eldest brother today He is the most glorious person. He paid homage to his ancestors, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the emperor in the morning, and then came to salute his mother. We mothers and concubines are just watching the fun, but the prince insists on coming here to confess his love at this time. Noble, brother, you can't be rude when you see him, although it's not a great gift, but today I'm kneeling down on my knees, I'm a big brother, and I can't feel angry."

"Perhaps the prince is really kind enough to congratulate you. I didn't expect such a small matter. We thought too much. They are still children after all." Lan Qi didn't want to continue this topic, provoking the relationship between the eldest son of the emperor and the prince would make the emperor disgusted , although everyone knows that their brothers are not in harmony, but they can't talk about it.

But after the empress dowager mentioned it later, the old man sighed for no reason, even though he didn't say anything, Lan Qi knew that the empress dowager was not happy.

The hustle and bustle in the palace after that had nothing to do with the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Concubine Rong explained some things and left. Lan Qi was still with the Empress Dowager. In the afternoon, someone from the palace came to report that the Wuya clan of Fujin from Niu Hulu's family had entered the palace. It's time for the palace, and asked the concubine De if she would go back to the Yonghe Palace, the Empress Dowager ordered Lan Ying to be sent here directly, saying that she wanted to comfort the child.

Lanying had a miscarriage in the twelfth lunar month, and stayed at her mother's house until the first month of the month. She couldn't live the first New Year when she married into Niu Hulu's house, but I heard that after New Year's Eve, A Ling'a ran to her father-in-law's house in the evening of New Year's Day, and stayed there all the time. He didn't leave until the third day of junior high school, which shows his love for his wife.

After leaving for more than a month, when I saw my sister again, the little woman was much plumper, her face was rosy and her complexion was very good, she didn't look like someone who had just experienced pain. Blessing is the same, only those who are happy can be blessed, but they are sad all day long, and God also looks annoyed."
