Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Hearing Xiaohezi's words, Yinzhen's melancholy expression immediately dissipated. He knew that in this world, besides himself who could make Eniang happy, Ama was also the one who could really make Eniang happy. He ran to the door to look at Eniang's bedroom Looking at it, it seemed that many candles were lit in the dark room at the moment, and the bright light came out from the window, faintly reflecting here, and there was a smile on the face of the fourth elder brother.

This night, the emperor rested in the Chengqian Palace. No one knew what the emperor and concubine had said, but the fourth elder brother saw his mother smiling again the next day, and understood in his heart that Ama came last night for Getting angry with E Niang in the Compassion Ning Palace.Although he still doesn't understand what he and Er Niang did wrong, but since Ama can come to comfort Er Niang, he feels that it's okay to be scolded.

Early in the morning, the imperial physician in Yikun Palace came to feel the pulse of Zhang Xu, who was about to give birth. She was about to give birth in a few months, and the second child was no more stable than the thirteenth brother before. These days, I have to be careful every day.

Concubine Yi was bored listening to the reports from the imperial physicians, she really didn't care if she gave birth to her, but finally she asked the imperial physician: "How is the empress dowager's body?"

The imperial physician smiled wryly: "The pulse case of the Compassionate Ning Palace has always been in charge of a special person, and I have no time to ask, nor can I inquire about it."

Concubine Yi knew that the physical condition of the people above was also a big secret of the court, so it was useless to ask. After sending the imperial doctor away, she promised to complain to Zhang: "I hated Wu Ya so much for relying on the empress dowager's favor. I wish she would lose this support, but recently the emperor has just come to my Yikun Palace more recently. I hope that the world will be peaceful and don't divide the emperor's heart. As a result, this trouble, ah, for the emperor, there is no emperor if the sky falls. Grandmother is important."

Zhang promised to listen silently. After the incident happened yesterday, she wondered if it was Concubine Yi who caused such a thing, but today she heard Concubine Yi complain, and she felt it was reasonable.Recently, the emperor often comes to Yikun Palace, he always comes to see her first, and then rests at Concubine Yi's place. Concubine Yi is in a good mood every day, she looks forward to the emperor's favor so much, why would something like this happen? A great opportunity to sabotage yourself?

"Try to give birth to a little elder brother to make the empress dowager happy. Although the emperor has many sons, the royal family will not think that there are too many heirs." Concubine Yi lazily asked Zhang to promise, and then went back to her room to rest Zhang promised to help Concubine De concubine find some clues, and asked Concubine Yi with concern, "I haven't seen Concubine Hui for a long time, and this concubine is thinking about going to pay her respects."

Concubine Yi waved her hand and said: "I went to see her, she is very sick, I don't want to be infected by her, you should be at peace, the serious thing is to have an abortion and prepare for childbirth."

After saying this, Concubine Yi left, and Zhang promised to think for herself. Since Concubine Hui was really seriously ill, she shouldn't be able to do such a thing. Right now your safe delivery is the most important thing, not to mention anything else, Empress Defei must also worry about you, she needs to know that you are safe, so she can feel at ease."

Zhang promised to pat Xiao Yu with a smile: "You have grown up now, but be careful in the future, don't mention that one here."

Two or three days later, the Empress Dowager's health improved, and outsiders were not allowed to know how the Empress Dowager's health was, but Lan Qi was by her side every day, and she really felt that the old man seemed to be more energetic.The Empress Dowager thinks that she is in a good mood and in good health, and she always said cheerfully to Lan Qi: "Nowadays, I really don't have to worry about anything, and I don't have the energy to worry about it. Every day, when my head is empty and I'm smirking in a daze, the time has passed. It’s such a peaceful day.”

The emperor came to accompany his grandmother every day, but he was really busy, and he often stayed for less than half an hour, so he came and went three or four times a day, and finally was ordered by the old grandmother to concentrate on government affairs, and he was only allowed to come back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace once a day, Xuan Ye Only Lan Qi, who entrusted her grandmother to the potbellied, felt sorry for her hard work, but she had no one to trust, so Lan Qi joked: "Now, the emperor knows how capable my concubine is?"

The atmosphere in the Palace of Mercy Ning, because of the optimism of the Empress Dowager and the cheerfulness of the Concubine De, was not as gloomy and sad as outsiders imagined. However, when Xuan Ye came to visit his grandmother that day, Lan Qi happened to come over from the tea room and saw the emperor directly Walking towards the empress dowager's bedroom, the sullen aura coming from the side door made her feel uneasy, but when she came to the front again, she only saw the emperor smiling and telling the anecdote about the capital with the emperor's grandmother, without any displeasure.

Half an hour later, the emperor really wanted to go back to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters with the ministers. He left with a smile on his face, but Lan Qi followed a few more steps out. Sure enough, he saw the emperor with a gloomy face as soon as he left the dormitory, but Xuan Ye was there She didn't reveal anything in front of her, her heart was pounding, what happened?

It wasn't until this evening that the doubts in her heart seemed to be answered.

At night, the tired pregnant woman returned to the Yonghe Palace. Lu Zhu said that the nobleman Jue Chan had been waiting for a long time. Lan Qi counted the days. That day she said that the three-day time limit for Concubine Hui had come. It seemed that there was some news. She suddenly remembered today The emperor's gloomy expression made him feel a little irritable.If it was because of that matter that the emperor was so angry that he didn't want to say anything, who was it that let the imperial concubine out?

However, the nobleman Jue Chan did not bring a clear answer. To be precise, Concubine Hui did not give her a real answer. Concubine Hui told Jue Chan clearly that she did not hide anything, because this matter needs to be investigated further. Throwing rats.

"Concubine Hui is the same as Eunuch Liang. I didn't find anyone around there who saw anything strange. According to what you said, the imperial concubine was very well dressed that day. It's impossible for no one to notice when she walked from Xianfu Palace to Compassionate Ning Palace." Chan's expression was serious, as if he was frightened by Concubine Hui's conclusion, and he told Lan Qi clearly, "But that day, the prince was in the Yinghua Hall to pay respects to the Buddha, and he passed the Cining Palace back from Yinghua Hall in a warm sedan chair. Yuqing Palace, no one else walked this road in a sedan chair that day, if the imperial concubine didn't appear outside the Cining Palace out of thin air, maybe the prince brought her here."

After what Jue Chan said, the room was so quiet that no panting could be heard. The house that should be as warm as spring was already on fire, but at this moment it seemed to be colder than the cold wind outside. This is not the cold that makes people shiver. Instead, it spread out from the heart little by little, a coldness that made people fear and suffocate.

"Only the prince?" Lan Qi asked these four words solemnly. She thought of Xuan Ye's depression today and the anger that seemed to be suppressed. She couldn't imagine that the emperor already knew about this matter, and even confirmed it. , It’s really rare that Concubine Hui doesn’t dare to look into it. Concubine Hui must understand the cruelty behind the truth. As Aunt Su Mala often said, if you see it through, you will only be left with despair.

"Your Majesty, if it's the crown prince, this matter is beyond your reach." Jue Chan looked nervous, as if worried that Concubine De would be too righteous, and reminded, "Your Majesty, you should understand that anyone who accuses the Crown Prince will be punished." If you suspect that you are coveting the crown prince, even if the emperor loves you so much, I am afraid that you will not allow you to question the crown prince, so you must not bring this matter up to the emperor."

How could Lan Qi not understand these words? She understood better than anyone else how much the emperor valued the prince. It was not only the deep love for Queen Hesheli, but also the promise to his dead wife. The relationship she had cultivated with her son for more than ten years , and as the emperor's expectations for the royal inheritance, he spent too much effort on the prince.Even if Lan Qi was Xuan Ye's favorite person, the emperor always had other places in his heart for other people, and the land where the crown prince was located was a forbidden area where no one could cross the threshold.

"I understand, this matter ends here." Lan Qi calmed herself down, and she didn't mention the emperor's displeasure to Jue Chan, but just ordered, "Please take another trip to Changchun Palace and tell Concubine Hui that as long as She won't mention this matter to others anymore, as long as she doesn't go into it as she said, I can write off her attempt to steal the key of the Xianfu Palace before, but if there is any rumor in the palace that is not good for the prince, don't blame me polite."

Jue Chan solemnly agreed: "The concubine understands."

Afterwards, the two broke up, and Lan Qi washed and resettled under Huan Chun's service. It was difficult to fall asleep with her big belly, and she couldn't sleep because of this matter tonight. She never imagined that the prince would be involved In terms of body, how the noble concubine walked from the Xianfu Palace to the Compassionate Ning Palace that day has always been a mystery, but if it is hidden in the prince's warm sedan chair, it seems to make sense.But why did the prince do this, and how could he keep the crazy concubine from making noise in her sedan chair?

Tied her up and gagged her?All conceivable methods are so cruel, the prince is in a warm sedan chair with such a person, and he is not afraid at all when he is only a teenager?

Huanchun seemed to know that the master couldn't sleep, so he came in with a light on in the middle of the night, lifted the curtain and saw that the master hadn't closed his eyes, he smiled and comforted him: "Your Majesty, go to sleep, tomorrow morning I will go to the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you and your servants to make chopped green onions Let's eat the pancakes."

Lan Qi sighed and closed her eyes, but Huan Chun seemed to think of something, and said softly: "Just now Eunuch Liang's apprentice sent a message, saying that Zhang promised to ask in Yikun Palace, the matter of the noble concubine is related to the concubine Yi. It doesn't matter, Concubine Yi is looking forward to the Emperor Taiping seeing her more, now that something like this happened, the emperor won't go anywhere, Concubine Yi is losing her temper."

Lan Qi said disgustedly: "She still has something on her mind and loses her temper. Sure enough, few people in this palace really miss the Empress Dowager."

In fact, Lan Qi also understands that she has been in charge of the Compassionate Palace for more than ten years. Although the Empress Dowager and her depend on each other, it is very unfair in the eyes of others. Why should they be as sincere as herself? Honor the elderly?

This night was destined to be difficult to sleep. The next day, because she promised the Empress Dowager to make snacks for her, Lan Qi rushed to the Palace of Compassionate Ning early with her stomach full. You Huanchun helped her to do the physical work, and she was ready before the Empress Dowager got up. The scallion pancakes that I miss, the old man rarely has a good appetite, and he wanted to eat a few more mouthfuls, but Lan Qi stopped them cruelly.

The Empress Dowager laughed at her: "You are not happier today than yesterday, but you were worried early in the morning. What's the matter, I can trouble you to make a pancake?"

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Don't say such things, the emperor should scold his concubines for being unfilial."

But the old man suddenly said: "He was unhappy yesterday, and you are also unhappy today. Tell me, what's the matter?"
