Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The nobleman Jue Chan's expression changed from surprise to calmness, and he smiled slightly when he sat down, "Your Majesty is really everywhere in the palace now. From the first time I saw her, I knew there would be today."

Lan Qi said calmly: "Eunuch Liang has been in the palace for a long time, and the emperor gave me him alone, which is equivalent to giving me countless pairs of eyes and ears."

"So the empress thinks that the concubine and concubine Hui are together again?"

"I have said that you are free, and I have also said that if one day you and I disagree, we just need to explain to each other."

Both of them were calm, their faces were calm, as if they were talking about something very ordinary, but every single word they said decided whether they would continue to join forces or become hostile from now on.

The nobleman Juechan got up and turned off the incense burner, as if he was worried that the fragrance would make the pregnant woman uncomfortable, so he turned around and opened the window with his own hands, a gust of cool wind came in, and both of them were more awake.She stood gracefully under the window, not afraid that her voice would be heard by others, she smiled and said to Lan Qi: "Your Majesty is worried that this concubine will stand with Concubine Hui and betray you for the sake of the future of his wife, children and mother?"

"This is human nature." Lan Qi replied, "Take heart to heart, I know you can't just watch his children and women become slaves and suffer humiliation."

Jue Chan's eyes really showed sadness, these few words, the concubine de concubine hit the mark, but she was relieved immediately, and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine's humble opinion, the emperor will not do that."

Lan Qi didn't understand Jue Chan's meaning for a while, but after thinking about it over and over again, her heart seemed to gradually become clear. Xuan Ye told her that it is so easy to kill Mingzhu to kill others, and he must want to use Mingzhu to achieve greater things.

Lan Qi thought to herself, if, as Jue Chan said, if the emperor does not come to that step in the end, one of them would be to worry about the elder brother, and the other would be that if the Mingzhu party were wiped out, the current balance of power among the various factions in the court would be unstable. If they were broken, without the checks and balances between them, they should all be directed at the emperor.

In a similar way, Jue Chan later explained to Lan Qi that Lan Qi didn't know if she was able to think of this, whether she was smart or anyone could see it, but she still hid her mind that she also thought of these things, and just said indifferently: " Let's not talk about government affairs."

Seeing that her words were firm, Jue Chan didn't say anything more, and returned to the subject: "Since the concubine understands that this incident will not bring down the Mingzhu Mansion, nor destroy Concubine Hui's future, how can the concubine conspire with her?" .”

Lan Qi frowned slightly: "But if you meet each other frequently, I'm afraid that other people in the palace will also notice it. You should give me a statement so that I can trust you. If there is any conflict between us, we should break up as soon as possible and work for our own interests. There is nothing wrong with this, I am a person who can see things openly. It is very boring to get entangled with each other and doubt each other, you are a straightforward person, you should not do such a thing. "

Jue Chan was a little happy, and said with a sigh of relief: "I have been in this palace for more than ten years, and it is the least difficult to talk to the empress." Immediately, Zheng Se said to Concubine De, "I saw her for the first time. Unprepared, as you imagined, she threatened Rong Ruo's wife and children. This is indeed the weakness of the concubine, but after thinking about it after returning home, I realized that with the emperor's many years of martial arts and martial arts, he would never act aggressively and quickly Annihilate a faction, then Chenqie doesn't have to worry about it. The second time was the appointment, Chenqie clearly told her that it was impossible to help her, so she threatened the eighth elder brother again."

Hearing that Concubine Hui threatened Jue Chan with her child, Lan Qi sneered: "If she thinks so much about Brother Ba, I can help you get the child back, and it won't be difficult."

But Jue Chan didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently: "The concubine doesn't care about the eighth elder brother at all. It doesn't matter whether she lives or dies. She insisted on giving the concubine a time limit for the concubine to think about the importance of this. The concubine knows She will keep pestering her forever, and I have talked to her to the end today."

"It's good that you understand in your heart." Lan Qi is willing to choose to believe Jue Chan, but she is not curious about what Jue Chan and Concubine Hui said, but Jue Chan took the initiative to say, "The concubine told her, if she pesters again, A concubine will end badly for both her and elder brother."

Lan Qi was startled, and Jue Chan continued to laugh and said, "Of course, that's the result of her not being entangled, but the concubine told her that if you don't entangle, your own well-being has nothing to do with each other."

"You lied to her, she may not believe it." Faced with such cruel and cruel words, Lan Qi was indifferent. Instead, she felt that Concubine Hui would not believe Jue Chan. Elder brother, after all, he is a soft-hearted person, so he couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't it be better if I could not involve elder brother?"

But Jue Chan didn't have such a soft heart. Facing the person who ruined her life, there was only hatred, and she shook her head and said: "The concubine will not intentionally harm the elder brother, everything depends on the elder brother's own good luck, the same Putting things on other elder brothers will not have any effect, do you think this kind of thing, is it because the concubine wants to harm him, or is the elder brother doing it himself?"

Lan Qi's heart sank, she understood that no matter what the outcome, Jue Chan would never let Concubine Hui go.

"A pair of scissors and a knife can kill her anytime, anywhere." Jue Chan smiled coldly, "But this concubine doesn't want to see her die. "Mistress, do you know? The most desperate thing for a person is probably not being able to die."

Lan Qi let go of all compassion, eliminating evil is also promoting good, she can't lose to her soft heart again and again, at this moment she also sneered: "She is too stupid, using Nalan Rongruo as a wife, child and mother to threaten you is not the same as tearing you apart Sprinkle another pinch of salt on the wound?"

Feeling relieved to meet a confidant, Jue Chan nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

This earnest talk made Lan Qi let go of her hidden worries, and decided not to doubt Jue Chan's intentions anymore, and Concubine Hui seemed to be suppressed by Jue Chan, and she lived more reclusively in the days after that, and the palace was peaceful for a while, until On the fourth elder brother's birthday at the end of the month, when the imperial concubine held a banquet for the fourth elder brother in Chengqian Palace, there was only a bit of excitement.

On the day of Yinzhen's birthday, the imperial concubine prepared a surprise for her son. Yuxi, who had not been in the palace for a long time, was taken in. Although the empress dowager did not agree, the imperial concubine was going to plead guilty later. The important thing is This pair of childhood sweethearts can meet each other.

When Yinzhen came back from the study, he changed his clothes to say hello to the congratulatory ladies. At first glance, he saw the girl standing beside Erniang. It had been a long time since she had seen her. Yuxi had grown taller and thinner. It's even prettier now.The little guy laughed unabashedly, very happy.

It's just that Yuxi hasn't entered the palace for so long, and she learns the rules and skills at home every day, her temperament gradually restrains, and she is no longer as lively and active as before. When the fourth elder brother approaches, she just blesses her body shyly and dare not look him in the eye .

The imperial concubine smiled and pushed the little girl towards her son, and said generously: "Let's go to the Yonghe Palace together. The concubine De is not feeling well today and couldn't come to join in the fun. It was she who worked so hard to give birth to you. It's her own birthday." It's time to kowtow to the empress."

Everyone in the audience lamented the generosity of the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine didn't take it seriously and just talked and laughed.After Yinzhen took the order, he brought Yuxi out together, and the little girl was more relaxed away from the adults, and said with a sweet smile, "Si elder brother, you have grown taller."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "You are too, and you look even better."

A red cloud suddenly appeared on the little girl's face, and she walked with her head down in embarrassment. Yinzhen thought she was too slow, turned around and held hands, and led Yuxi to the Yonghe Palace. The little girl hurriedly followed Behind the fourth elder brother, looking at his beautiful side face, the girl's mind seemed to bloom from this moment.

Lan Qi is restless today, she can't go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she can't congratulate the fourth elder brother's birthday in Chengqian Palace, and she asks Huan Chun whether this child knows that today is her brother's birthday, and wants to run out in a hurry. And Yuxi arrived.

Unexpectedly, it was the imperial concubine who asked the fourth elder brother to come and kowtow, watching Yinzhen salute solemnly, and then Yuxi saluted, if the two children were not separated one after the other, Lan Qi always felt that if they were destined to get married after a few years, they would be married. This is what it should look like when the palace salutes.

It was a happy thing, but Lan Qi was holding Yuxi to her side to ask about her recent affairs, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, Huan Chunying went out for a while, then came back with a pale face and said: "Your Majesty, Something happened to the Palace of Compassion, and the noble concubine ran out somehow, scaring the Empress Dowager."

Lan Qi's whole body was tense, but fortunately her stomach that had been tossing for a whole day subsided at this moment, she hurried out without even thinking about wearing her regular clothes, leaving behind Yinzhen and Yuxi, the little girl was frightened by the sudden incident, while Yinzhen was Soothe her: "You are here to accompany the thirteenth brother and the little princess, and I will take you after I go to ask Er Niang."

Although the fourth elder brother is young, he acted prudently, leaving Yuxi to return to the Qian Palace. Sure enough, before entering the door, he saw his mother rushing out, followed by several other concubines, but the imperial concubine ordered them: "You stay here, Don't make a fuss, it won't help if there are too many people."

Turning around and seeing her son, the imperial concubine thought for a while, and led the fourth elder brother to go there.

There was no chaos in the Compassionate Ning Palace, Lan Qi arrived first, and the emperor Yuhuangguifei came almost at the same time, when Xuan Ye saw the imperial concubine leading the fourth elder brother, a bit of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but it is inappropriate to say anything at this moment, He only cares about how the imperial grandmother is doing.

Several imperial doctors took turns to check the empress dowager's pulse, but they couldn't tell why. Just now, it was Su Mala and the empress dowager who were helping the empress dowager to walk in the yard. Suddenly someone rushed in and yelled, and the empress dowager was startled Falling down under weak feet, Aunt Su Mala and the Queen Mother were caught off guard, and the three of them rolled on the ground together. How could the old man withstand such a fall? Even Aunt Su Mala flinched and couldn't be in front of her at this moment.

According to the doctor's words, the Empress Dowager is not sick, and the fall did not hurt her muscles and bones, but she is getting older and her body is getting weaker and weaker. If she is so frightened and falls, the energy that can support her body may be weakened. No one knows if the fall is gone, and if he wakes up after a coma, he will still have the same spirit as before.In the face of natural aging, not disease, decoction and acupuncture cannot change the reality, they are helpless.
