Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xuan Ye shook his head, but then waved his hand to signal the people behind to follow up. A few lanterns gathered together, and the front of the door became bright immediately. Huan Chun suddenly saw the emperor's face clearly. He didn't have the bearded and disheveled look he imagined. The people in front of him were just He lost a lot of weight after not drinking rice water for a few days, his face is well-defined, his eyes are sunken, his eyes are bloodshot from crying, and there are two deep patches of green daisy under his eyelids, but when did Huanchun see the emperor like this, is he bluffing? .

"I look haggard, don't you?" Xuan Ye asked, it seemed that he let the lantern illuminate himself, just to let Huan Chun see his appearance clearly.

Huan Chun nodded, pursed his lips and dared not speak.

"If she sees it like this, will it scare her?" Xuan Ye asked again.

Huan Chun shook his head hastily, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty will not be afraid. Your Majesty still wants to visit you at the Palace of Compassion and Peace today, but unfortunately you can't leave until you get out of bed. The imperial doctor said that every moment is very important these few days."

These Xuanye all know that everything in the Yonghe Palace will be passed on to him as usual. While mourning the death of his grandmother, he has not forgotten other things. On the other side, he was thinking about it, but he couldn't take care of it.

"Your majesty, go in, the empress will be very happy to see you." Huanchun raised the curtain high, hoping that the emperor would come in quickly.

Xuan Ye took a deep breath, and Fang walked slowly into the door. The room was not clear or dark, and he could walk to Lan Qi smoothly, but he couldn't see her face clearly. The pregnant woman had difficulty breathing due to the weight of the fetus, and she went to bed early at night. She didn't pull up the tent anymore, and she didn't lie flat like a normal person, she almost just slept on her back, Xuan Ye knew that she was very hard.

Huanchun wanted to send a lamp, the emperor waved her to go down, he didn't want the light to stimulate Lan Qi to wake up, he just stood by the couch, leaned over and gently touched her cheek, her skin was still so smooth and tender Xuan Ye was actually afraid that his rough hands would scratch her. He didn't drink rice water these days, even the skin on his face was chapped, and the palms of his hands were dry and rough.

The person on the couch did not wake up, breathing evenly from a steady sleep, which made Xuan Ye very relieved. He will send the imperial grandmother's coffin out of the palace tomorrow, and he will not be able to return before she gives birth. He is so afraid of being outside the palace. After hearing the bad news, he could not stay, nor could he take her away.

"Stay at home and wait for me to come back. Don't have anything to do. I will be back soon. Don't follow the emperor's grandmother." Xuan Ye muttered softly, with tears in his eyes, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he choked for a long time Repeatedly, "Wait for me at home."

The person in the dream didn't wake up, but Xuan Ye gradually calmed down, tucked the quilt for her, and turned to leave.But as soon as he turned around, the person on the couch slowly opened his eyes, tears slid down his cheeks, silently, until he watched the figure disappear from his eyes.

From the moment Xuan Ye stepped on the snow and approached, Lan Qi woke up, but when she heard him asking Huan Chun what he said outside the door, she understood that Xuan Ye didn't want her to see him in a daze.In front of Wuya Lanqi, he is her god, the existence that supports her to stop the wind and rain, how can he let the woman he loves see him so useless?

So she "fell asleep", so she chose not to see Xuan Ye, she longed to see him, but she didn't want to remember his haggard face, her husband and her man will always be her strongest support.

The sound of stepping on the snow gradually faded away, Lan Qi covered her mouth and sobbed a few times, but when Huan Chun came back, she had calmed down a lot, Huan Chun was surprised that the master woke up, and asked anxiously: "Long live Lord just came, Ma'am, do you know?"

Lan Qi nodded: "I heard what you said, it's best not to see him, he doesn't want me to see him now. I will wait for him to come back and give birth to this child, don't worry Huanchun, I will Take heart and I will be strong."

Having said that, the sad aura will never go away, and Lan Qi's body can't help but she will get better if she thinks about it. Even Huan Chun understands that the master's calamity is resigned to fate.

The next day, the Empress Dowager's Zigong was moved away from the palace, everything was in order and there was no chaos at all. The ghosts in the palace of the previous few days disappeared, and everyone was fully engaged to cope with the whole day's affairs.The empress dowager and the imperial concubine also came to see them off with their sick bodies, only Concubine De, who used to be with the empress dowager day and night, was not in front of her.

Unexpectedly, this time no one pointed to the Yonghe Palace. Everyone knows that no matter how grand and extravagant the funeral ceremony is, the deceased will not feel half of it. One understands that only Concubine De's hard work day and night when the Empress Dowager was alive is the greatest tribute to the elderly. Even if they faint from crying every day, they may not be able to move anyone.

After the Empress Dowager’s Zigong left, the Forbidden City finally breathed a sigh of relief. In previous years, it was the time for laughing and having fun during the Spring Festival. This year’s New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day did nothing. I don't know what year and month, I knelt down and cried repeatedly every day, and now I can't take it easy when I stop.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi leaned on the kang and couldn't move as soon as she entered the door. She cried so much that her head was about to crack these days. If you want to say those tears, they were not forcefully squeezed out, but when she saw others crying there , I followed the sadness, and then the grievances and resentments of the past ten years also came out. If she cried every day, it was not the empress dowager who cried, but herself.

Zhang promised that she was already confinement, and it happened that she was able to go out for a few days when the empress dowager was gone, and nothing happened at the funeral, and it was the first time she appeared in the palace with Concubine Yi in a serious manner, but No one has the time to care about these trivial matters. Everyone can see how sad the emperor is. Who would dare to add trouble to the emperor at this time.

"You should rest too. Kneel for several hours every day. I can see that your complexion is getting worse and worse." Yi Fei rubbed her forehead in pain, and called Tao Hong to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe her medicine. Things will pass sooner or later, and the emperor can't be sad every day. Isn't the affairs in the palace already beginning to return to normal? We have to look forward to the good days in the future. These days, we should quickly put our waists back and wait for the emperor to recover It's time for you to wait on me a lot."

Zhang promised to silently agree, and then exited the main hall of Concubine Yi, and asked Xiao Yu softly after returning to the room: "Have you found out, how is Empress Defei?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and said: "It's just not good. There are several imperial physicians on duty in Yonghe Palace, so this posture can't be good."

Zhang promised to burst into tears immediately, and said worriedly: "If there is something wrong with the empress, what can I do?"

Xiao Yu quickly persuaded her: "You have to be happy in front of Concubine Yi, you haven't seen Concubine Yi's happy face in private these days, you have to be with them."

Zhang promised to grit his teeth, clutching the mattress on the kang tightly with one hand, trembling with hatred, "They will not end well."

At the same time, everyone in Changchun Palace is exhausted, unlike Concubine Yi who opens her mouth and cries a few times a day, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are also watching the affairs of the palace together, she is considered tough, Concubine Rong is sending her away today The Empress Dowager fainted directly and was carried away, but she almost exhausted all her energy and strength, hoping that the emperor would not be in the palace for a few days, so she could take a good rest and catch her breath.

A little palace lady brought me medicine to soothe the nerves, but Concubine Hui pushed her hand and refused to take it, "I'm not sick, I'll be fine after lying down for two days, it's unlucky to take medicine all the time."

She simply stood up and stretched her muscles and bones to take a breath, and then she stood under the eaves, when the little eunuch in front of the door hurried in and said: "Madam, Mr. Ping, please see me."

"Ping nobleman?" Concubine Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that for the funeral of the empress dowager, this little nobleman was relieved of her confinement, and she knelt down and cried together every day. She didn't care about it for a few days. It's here.

But when Concubine Hui showed her favor frequently before, the little nobleman ignored her with the pride of Hershey's family. Now if she treats Concubine Hui with a smile as soon as she comes, it would be too embarrassing. She waved her hands and said coldly: "Tell me Tired and rested, let her come back another day."

The little eunuch went to send nobleman Ping away. Concubine Hui took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. The busyness of the day seemed to make her wake up at this moment. The empress dowager was gone, and the greatest oppression other than the emperor had disappeared. No wonder Changchun Palace looked out. The sky was also wider than before, and she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

When she looked back, she saw Baoyun coming from the side hall and had just packed up the things she had used for the past few days. When she looked up, she saw the master standing under the eaves looking at her, so she also stopped.

"Come here." For the first time, Concubine Hui felt that she was truly superior to this servant. She had always been the empress dowager's person who placed herself beside her clearly. Concubine Hui once asked her if she was afraid that she would take care of her one day when the Empress Dowager left. Baoyun said that she had nothing to fear, let alone the emperor watching.

But now, even though Concubine Hui is afraid that the emperor might pursue this kind of thing, her desire to kill Baoyun is stronger than ever before, and that kind of unscrupulous impulse emerges from the bottom of her heart one after another.

But Concubine Hui is still sensible, she knows she can't do this, she killed Baoyun, it is disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, even if there is any reason to cover up the truth of Baoyun's loss, the emperor may not let her go.

"What's your order?" Baoyun asked.

"From now on, you don't need to do what's in front of me." Concubine Hui told her coldly, "You won't be allowed to serve on the eighth elder brother, and you won't be allowed to intervene in what's in front of the master in the future. If you want, Changchun You can choose whatever you want to do in the palace, if you don’t want to, just stay in your own room, I don’t lack people to work here.”

Baoyun's expression was deep and he said nothing, while Concubine Hui said: "Actually, you still have a great place to go. In the Temporary Blessing Hall at the foot of Changrui Mountain, there is a lack of a maid in charge. If you want, I will always be there for you." take you there."
