Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi lowered her face involuntarily, sighing inwardly to the empress dowager's eyes, and when she came back to her senses, she pretended to smile nonchalantly, but was scolded by the empress dowager: "You guys think I'm dazzled and deaf, so you really just smirk and have fun every day ?”

Lan Qi stood next to her, and said without confidence: "You are joking again, how dare the concubine. But there is nothing wrong, the emperor is not very happy, he said yesterday that the harvests in various places this year will be a bumper year."

The Empress Dowager ignored her, and sighed: "I can't use my ears and eyes well now, so I don't listen to or look at some unimportant things, but if you have something in your heart, I can tell it at a glance." It can be seen that the more you guys hide it, the more I know the importance of it."

Lan Qi looked at the Empress Dowager, her old wrinkled eyes were shining brightly at the moment, just like the eyes she saw when she first met her, so majestic and sacred, so wise and wise, she couldn't help trembling in her heart, that is Knowing the seriousness of this matter too well, he hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager: "The emperor doesn't know what is on the mind of his concubine, and the concubine also doesn't know what is on the mind of the emperor. The concubine should have the same heart with the emperor without hiding anything, but the empress dowager, this matter Can you agree to my concubine, never mention it to the emperor?"

In fact, Lan Qi regretted it after saying this sentence, so why should she remind the Empress Dowager, who else can understand the pros and cons of this better than the old man?

When the Empress Dowager heard that the noble concubine was taken from Xianfu Palace to the Compassionate Palace without anyone noticing that day, the only way to keep people passing by on the road unaware was to stuff her into the prince's warm sedan chair, Although this is just a suspicion, if it is true that the prince did it, they may have overlooked that no one else was walking that road in a sedan chair that day, or maybe, as always, the perpetrators understand what they have done, and in the eyes of ordinary people It is unbelievable and not worthy of doubt, so it will be unscrupulous.

On the contrary, ordinary kind-hearted people, with a little bit of bad intentions, worry that everyone will find out. They are trembling and restless all day long. Those who have lost their minds will be on the road of no return from then on.

Having said that, I don't know if the prince did it, whether this experience tortured him or drove him to the road of no return.

"Maybe it's not the prince, but now we just found out about this possibility. Don't be sad. I think the prince will not want to hurt you no matter what." Lan Qi gently stroked the empress dowager's chest, wanting to do something for her. She went smoothly, but the Empress Dowager grabbed her hand and said, "The thing I was most worried about happened, and the thing I was most worried about that you would not be able to face after I left, I still let me see it."

"The Empress Dowager..."

The old man frowned deeply, grabbed Lan Qi with his thin and old hands, and told her solemnly, "The inheritance of the royal family can never be entrusted to one person. The prince is just a symbol of inheritance. He is not yet the emperor." .”

The weight of these two sentences was so heavy that Lan Qi seemed to be overwhelmed, but the Empress Dowager continued: "Remember what I told you before, no matter what happens, stand behind Xuan Ye , no matter what happens to the royal family and the court in the future, you must stand behind Xuan Ye."

Lan Qi's voice was trembling, but she answered yes firmly, and the Empress Dowager continued: "Now he is young, and he is majestic in front of the world, but in the future, when he is old, the current love between grandparents, brothers, and even father and son He is just a lonely emperor. My grandson is very poor. He will not be cared for by his family when he comes to this world. Don't let him leave alone when he arrives."

"Remember, my concubine." Lan Qi nodded vigorously.

"Keep it in your heart and engrave it on your bones." The empress dowager's eyes were as sharp as a blade.

"Keep it in your heart, engrave it on your bones." Lan Qi repeated her words, and after saying this, the empress dowager's aggressive aura suddenly dissipated, and the old man seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and slumped softly on the pillow , closed your eyes and smiled gratifiedly, "In the future, when you are old, will you say such things to your children? I really want to see what you will look like when the time comes, I really want to see..."

Lan Qi tried to speak lightly, and said with a smile: "The emperor said that he saw that the concubine would not be able to teach his daughter-in-law, let alone his son. The emperor asked the concubine to be a rich and idle person in the future, foolishly following her every day." He'll be fine."

The Empress Dowager really laughed, but said meaningfully: "Daughters-in-law must be taught, not to demand anything from them, but to show them the cruelty of reality. They are all golden branches and jade leaves in a deep house, when will they know the world?" suffering, but if you want to make a difference with your husband, you must go through wind and rain."

Lan Qi responded with a smile: "The concubine listens to you."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and then smiled kindly: "Don't be like Concubine Hui, she has done something, I feel disgusted for her."

Lan Qi could only comfort her: "Don't think about those things."

But the empress dowager looked at her calmly, and Lan Qi heard it unpreparedly: "How to cultivate a mother of the country is not only about giving kindness and strength, but also making children feel happy, and only happy people will have openness." I have a mind big enough to hold the world, just like you."

Lan Qi stared blankly at the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager patted her forehead with a smile, turned her face away and closed her eyes to rest her mind, and stopped talking.

After staying in front of the Empress Dowager for quite a while, Lan Qi felt that some words seemed to exceed the weight she could bear. Wuya Lanqi is good.

Not long after the empress dowager closed her eyes to rest, she fell asleep. It was rare for a moment of peaceful sleep. Lan Qi ordered a trustworthy maid to wait on her side, and then came to Su Mala's room. To the ground, dodged the waist and still can't get out of bed.

When the mother saw Concubine De came, she said distressedly: "Looking at you walking around with your belly outstretched, the servant's heart is always in suspense. My good lady, you can take a rest and let the servant live in peace for a long time?"

Lan Qi smiled leisurely and said: "This little doll is very well-behaved. She was arguing with me every day when she was free a while ago. These days, maybe she knows that Erniang is going to be busy, so she is very well-behaved. The imperial doctor said that both the child and I are fine, and the pulse is strong. Don't worry about being stable, and it's easy for me to move around like this."

Accompanied by Aunt Su Mala, the little woman who had her first childbirth in the past and gave birth to her fourth elder brother survived a narrow escape. Lan Qi always remembered that kindness. Yesterday, but now the concubine de concubine is very capable, and having children is no longer worth her fear.

"I hope it's a little elder brother, the master must be happy." Madam Su Ma lightly touched Lan Qi's stomach, but she didn't dare to touch it too hard. Concubine De was a month old, and she was afraid that too much touching would stimulate the fetus and cause premature delivery.In fact, Mammy really had such a thought in her heart, she hoped that Concubine De would give birth earlier, and she was faintly afraid that the Empress Dowager would not be able to wait until that day.

The two were gossiping and mentioned that Concubine Hui was seriously ill these days, but Da Fujin didn't enter the palace to serve her, and no matter what happened in the palace, she would presume illness and not participate. It was obvious that the daughter-in-law was avoiding her mother-in-law, because Concubine Hui You can't go out of the palace at will, and if Da Fujin hides outside, you can avoid her for the rest of your life.

"It's really ugly to make trouble like this." Madam Su Mala sighed, and said casually, "The emperor selected a few candidates for the crown prince, and now it will be shelved. The empress dowager can look forward to it." gone."

Mentioning the prince, Lan Qi's heart trembled, but she didn't want to say it again to Aunt Su Mala, so she silently suppressed her thoughts.

At this moment in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, listening to Eunuch Li tremblingly talking about a few things, the emperor was holding a string of beads in his hand, and the beads seemed to be rubbed against each other very hard at this moment. The creaking sound made Eunuch Li's heart tremble, and the old man didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the emperor would cut off his head in a fit of anger.

"Who else will know about this?" But the emperor still asked aloud.

"I think..." Eunuch Li swallowed his saliva and summoned up his courage to say, "I think that even if someone knows, they don't dare to publicize it. It's a big deal. All the ministers in and out of the palace are smart people. Act according to the face of the emperor."

The strength in Xuan Ye's hand was almost crushing a string of beads, and he vented the hatred in his heart little by little, except for the flush on his face due to excessive force, his expression remained unchanged.He understood that as long as he remained calm, others would not dare to act rashly, but if he showed dissatisfaction a little, someone would definitely point the finger at Yuqing Palace.

The crown prince's greatest support is not how powerful the Hesheli family is, nor how good and capable he is. The crown prince's greatest support is his father, Xuan Ye himself.Once the emperor wants to abandon the prince, no one can help him.

"You're getting old, I'm afraid your days in the palace will not be long." Xuan Ye said coldly.

"Yes, the slave should have retired long ago." Eunuch Li said calmly and calmly at this moment, "The slave has agreed with the Empress Dowager to be the guardian of the tomb for the Empress Dowager in the future, so that you and the affairs of the world Son, tell her every now and then."

"Before I become a mausoleum guardian who has nothing to do with the world, I will select and train a few capable people for me." The emperor's voice seemed to come from the abyss, so dull and depressing that people felt the fear of suffocation. Eunuch Li nervously Listen to him say, "Those people must be completely reliable. From now on, every word and deed of the prince will be reported in secret to let me know."

"Yes……"

The beads were still making noises, but the emperor's words were harsher than this sharp voice, "I will arrange another person to supervise them. If they have a different heart, they will die anytime, anywhere."

Eunuch Li felt that his heartbeat was about to stop, but suddenly he heard the emperor's words of deep helplessness and sadness.

"My heart is chilling."
