Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

It turned out that the femme fatales in the palace were all looking forward to the concubine De's birth this time, so that only the Yonghe Palace could have a good life for other people without this charming woman.Unexpectedly, Concubine De concubine escaped death before giving birth, but she was blessed by the Buddha at the moment of giving birth, and she was safe and sound. Aunt Su Mala asked the imperial physician in private whether the concubine De concubine would be able to give birth in the future. It's not difficult to get it right, but the empress is getting older, if it's a long-term plan, it's best not to have children."

And although the delivery was smooth, the mother was weak after all, and she gradually became more energetic after two days, but she couldn't help crying every time she watched the nurse feeding the little brother. The Empress Dowager, it was really only a few days away, the Empress Dowager was unable to see Du Lanqi's next elder brother with her own eyes.

Because the whole country is in mourning, there can't be any celebrations in the palace. The little elder brother is very low-key. Besides some gifts from the palaces, only Concubine Hui, who is in charge of the affairs of the palace, came to watch the ceremony.

After all, the Yonghe Palace and the Changchun Palace did not really tear their faces face to face. There is always a polite way to meet each other. Concubine Hui went to the inner hall to see Lan Qi after watching the ceremony. More than ten years passed by. The emotions in front of the door, but those emotions seemed to have never happened to the woman in front of him.

In the deep palace, the four seasons alternate. It is never the red flowers and yellow leaves, but the ups and downs of the gates and courts of each palace and courtyard. But all this has never happened in Yonghe Palace.

"Sister Hui has been working hard lately. I heard that Sister Rong hasn't seen better, and I can't leave the bed, or I'll go visit her." Lan Qi is very polite, even if she hates the woman in front of her, as long as Xuan Ye stays with her for a day , she would not do anything to embarrass Xuan Ye, and because the death of the sixth elder brother was not directly related to Concubine Hui, Lan Qi could show her some sympathy.

Concubine Hui felt relieved when she saw Lan Qi being polite, she sat down beside her and said, "Sister Rong has been handling the affairs of the Sixth Palace, if she didn't faint this time, I'm afraid she will have to hold on. We don't She's young, sometimes she won't listen to some words of persuasion, so when you meet her later, you should try to persuade her more."

Lan Qi nodded, at this time the little elder brother who had just been washed outside was brought in, and the nurse put the little elder brother into the arms of the concubine Defei, and said happily: "Little elder brother doesn't cry or make trouble, such a big one Man, why are you so calm?"

"You make me happy, what can a child who has been on the ground for three days see?" Lan Qi didn't care about the flattery, she looked down at the son in her arms, she still remembered Yin Zuo's appearance when she was born, now she looks at Xiao Shi Fourth, he doesn't look like his two older brothers, but he does look like Wen Xian. I can't help laughing in my heart, I don't know if this kid will have a girlish temper in the future, or her eldest girl will look like a tomboy in the future.

Concubine Hui watched from the side, and couldn't help feeling envious. Counting the fourth elder brother, Concubine De now has a pair of biological sons, a pair of biological princesses, and an adopted son of the thirteenth elder brother. Except for Concubine Yi, almost no one can compare with her. Concubine Yi was just serving the emperor on the couch and was lucky enough to get a dragon seed. Although she was blessed, her favor was not even as high as a hair of Wu Ya's family.

Mrs. Wu Ya came in from the outside, and blessed Concubine Hui, she stood by the couch and said to her daughter: "Young brother, it's all for the third time, and the concubine should also leave the palace. There is no rule of staying in the palace for a long time. Please take care of yourself." .”

Concubine Hui said at the side: "Madam, it's okay to stay for a few more days, the palace is busy and has no time to take care of Concubine De, you take care of her in the palace, the emperor is at ease outside, and we sisters are also at ease." Mrs. Wu Ya She smiled humbly: "The palace rules are strict, and I dare not bother the ladies. The weather is very good today. I am leaving the palace now, and it will still be light when I get home."

Seeing that her mother had made up her mind to go, Lan Qi knew that it would be useless for her to keep her, but she said it at this moment, obviously to show Concubine Hui, although she never mentioned the right and wrong in the palace to her mother, but now Lan Ying often goes in and out, Knowing a lot, it is inevitable that she will not disclose it to her mother. This must be the case, which made her feel protective of herself.

"Er Niang, please take a good rest when you go back. I have worked hard for you these few days." Lan Qi agreed with a smile, and asked Huan Chun to prepare to send Er Niang away from the palace. Seeing her like this, Qi Qi asked her mother to agree, not wanting to embarrass Concubine Hui's face too much.

Huanchun supported the sedan chair and sent his wife all the way out of the palace. Seeing that his wife went out of the palace gate smoothly, he turned back with peace of mind, and said a few words to the little maid beside him all the way. He walked along the corner of the wall, and when he turned the intersection, the little maid beside him suddenly said, "Look, Auntie, it's Mrs. Ping."

Huan Chun was taken aback, and looked up, a woman dressed as a palace concubine turned out at the intersection ahead, followed by three or two palace maids, looking at the back, she couldn't guess which one it was, but the little palace maid next to her said she happened to see them turning around Looking at the side face at that time, I can clearly see that it is Mr. Ping.

"Right now all the palaces are closed, she walks outside like this, is she hoping to be locked up again?" Huan Chun said bitterly, and led the people around him back to detour. If you can't afford it, you'd better hide away.

When Huanchun came back, Concubine Hui was just about to leave. She stood respectfully at the bottom of the steps and waited for Concubine Hui to leave. She inadvertently raised her eyes and saw that the maid following Concubine Hui was Zhang Sheng's face. The palace sent some gifts over, and the palace maids came and went frequently, and she just saw that Sister Baoyun, who had always been with Concubine Hui, was gone. year and month people.

After Concubine Hui left, Huanchun came in to report to the master, not wanting to be bothered by the master, he didn't mention that he saw Mr. Ping wandering outside on the road, but mentioned that Baoyun beside Concubine Hui was missing, and was a little worried about her well.

Lan Qi sighed: "Baoyun is the eyeliner that the empress dowager placed next to Concubine Hui in the past, and she couldn't shake it off after so many years. Now that the empress dowager is gone, she just finds a name to get rid of Baoyun. If anyone cares about it afterwards, no one will be able to care about it these days, and it may be even more forgotten in the future. After all, Baoyun is on business for the Compassionate Ning Palace, and other people have nothing to do with her, so who cares about this business."

"Your Majesty doesn't care?" Huan Chun was excited for a moment, but she felt it was inappropriate to ask, she shouldn't cause trouble for the master.

Lan Qi knew that they were all from the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Huanchun was younger than Baoyun, so she must have been taken care of back then. , but you wait patiently, right now is indeed not the time to do these things, I don't think Concubine Hui will hurt her life, after all, we all know that Baoyun is a court lady bestowed by the Empress Dowager."

Huanchun is very relieved, she knows that the master will do what she promised, and she also hopes that if Sister Baoyun leaves Changchun Palace in the future, it would be good to come to Yonghe Palace, as there are so many princes and princesses in the palace now, a few more people would be fine. It should be, but she didn't know that it wasn't Concubine Hui holding on to Baoyun, but Baoyun herself didn't want to leave.

Let's say that Concubine Hui left Yonghe Palace and was walking towards her own palace. On the way, someone came to report that Mr. Ping had been waiting for a long time. Patience came to the door every day, and said on weekdays that I was tired, but today I went back from the outside, and I will see you if I don't see you.

The warm sedan stopped, Concubine Hui asked Yanzhu to come closer and obeyed, and ordered her to send someone to Yikun Palace to ask Concubine Yi and Zhang to agree to come over, but Yanzhu didn't understand, and instead advised the master: "Your Majesty Ping is after all a member of the Hesheli family. Ma'am, you'd better be careful."

Concubine Hui sneered: "If the Hesheli family cares about her, they will let her be bullied in the palace and locked up for so long? As for letting Concubine Yi and the others come over, I want to give Ping Guiren some face, Zhang promised There should be an end to the festival with her."

Yanzhu obeyed the order to send someone to invite her, but Concubine Hui stopped her and said, "Tell Concubine Yi what I mean, let her train Zhang Yes first, if Zhang Yan refuses to bow, then there is no need to come here."

Such words spread to Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi frowned and listened for a long time, then asked Yanzhu: "Your mother wants Zhang to promise to apologize to nobleman Ping?"

Yan Zhu smiled and said: "The servants don't know how to make amends, but the master also has good intentions, and wants to try Zhang's sincerity for the empress. After all, the festivals above can be big or small. If Zhang promises not Sincerely for your empress, how can you be willing to be wronged in front of Mr. Ping?"

Concubine Yi felt reasonable, although she herself thought that there was no need to test Zhang Jiashi, but it would not be a bad thing to be more careful, after letting Yan Zhu leave, she called Zhang Ying to her and told her about the Changchun Palace Now, he understood it rationally and said: "Concubine Hui is older than me, and holds power in the palace. Although we are the same, I always rely on her more. What happened today is to give her face, so that she can truly You have surrendered to Mr. Ping, and if you suffer any grievances, just look at it for my sake."

Zhang promised to be overwhelmed in his heart, but on the surface he said submissively: "The original concubine De concubine instigated the servants and concubines to do those things. The empress said that nobleman Ping would not make it easy for her, so she would not let nobleman Ping feel better."

Concubine Yi suddenly realized, she clapped her hands and tutted her tongue: "Now there is an explanation. Let me tell you, if you make a small promise, where do you have the courage to provoke her again and again." On the one hand, she asked Tao Hong to take care of her clothes, and promised to Zhang, "She once abused and beat your court lady, and her wrists are vicious. I don't know how she will vent her anger on you today, but with me and Concubine Hui here, she shouldn't be too vicious."

Zhang promised to panic, thinking that if nobleman Ping hadn't dealt with her harshly, wouldn't it be possible to torture Xiaoyu?Although it is not appropriate to scream and shout in the funeral palace at the moment, if you close the door to abuse a palace lady, as long as no one outside knows, there is nothing that can be done by a nobleman like Ping.

I didn't expect Concubine Yi to have the second half of the sentence. Finally, now that she is a little older, she can think more about things, and she agreed with Zhang: "Your court lady once hurt her, maybe she will be tossed about by her today, don't take her with you. , right now there can be no abuse in the palace, I'm just giving Concubine Hui a favor, I don't want to be tricked by them."

Zhang promised to relax in her heart. She had planned to go out without Xiao Yu, but she was afraid that Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui would be suspicious. Now that Concubine Yi said this, she was relieved to go back and change into the clothes she left, and told Xiao Yu to wait for her at home. But Xiaoyu refused, and insisted on following her master, loyally said: "Your servant is very tough, don't be afraid of her, she won't bully you if you are with her. No matter how bad it is, she can't beat you to death, right?"

"Silly girl, it's not easy to be beaten half to death. I see you being beaten, it's better to be bullied." Zhang promised not to, ordered Xiao Yu not to go out, and brought the other maids in the room out to wait for Concubine Yi. Come to Changchun Palace.

In the warm pavilion of the Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui was already sitting at the top, and nobleman Ping was serving tea by the stove. Knowing that Concubine Yi and Zhang promised to come, he made four cups of tea. The tea had just been brewed when the curtain in front of the door opened. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came in, and she saw the radiant Concubine Yi stepping in through the door, shouting: "My sister's room smells so good, it smells so good."

The younger palace concubines followed behind, and now they are all wearing mourning clothes, and no one needs to be more gorgeous, but the appearance is different, Yifei is arrogant, but she is still inferior to those behind her, Zhang promised that in the past two years, she will become more and more beautiful. I look pretty.

And Mr. Pinggui is no better than other people. He is born with a coquettish and beautiful face that is enough to stand out from the crowd in the palace. People, she felt more hatred in her heart.

"Sister Ping, please sit down. Zhang promised that her position is lower than yours, so you don't have to ask her to serve you tea." Concubine Yi sat down by herself, and while calling nobleman Ping over, she sighed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, look at me." It seems that she has gained some stature, but she is taller than before? Or she has lost weight, which is pitiful."

Mr. Pinggui is indeed still growing his body, and there will be changes if we don't see each other for a year. It's just that there is no rain and dew to nourish him, but he has grown into an ordinary appearance. Not necessarily more charming and enchanting.

"My younger sister used to be in the Yonghe Palace, but did you learn how to make tea from Concubine De?" Concubine Hui smiled and looked at Zhang Jiashi who was standing beside her, and pointed to the tea by the stove, "Your Majesty Ping made half of it, and I was just thirsty. gone."

"The concubine only does rough work in the Yonghe Palace, but she has learned a lot from the concubine Yi in recent days." Zhang promised as he said, carefully serving the tea. The tea has been brewed, and she only needs to pour the tea. And there was no court lady in the warm pavilion, so the tea service naturally fell into her hands.

Carefully brought the tea bowl, and put it down in front of Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, Zhang promised to turn back to serve the tea, and when he was about to serve it in front of nobleman Ping, his heart was pounding, but Concubine Yi smiled and said: "It's just right, I know that little sister Ping and our Zhang promised to have some festivals, and now she is serving you tea, it is an apology, and from now on, sisters and sisters will have a family relationship, and the past will be written off."

A write-off?Because Zhang promised himself to fall, but falsely accused him of murdering the emperor's heir, Pinggui was imprisoned for more than a year. If the empress dowager hadn't died, she didn't know when she would be released, and her family didn't care about her. What's more, she never thought that she existed, and this kind of life is all thanks to the little bitch Zhang Jiashi, so it will be written off?That's easy to say.

Noble Ping looked up at Concubine Hui, but Concubine Hui had already instructed her what to do, telling her that Zhang promised to be Concubine Yi's now, Concubine Yi was willing to save face, let her dissipate the resentment in her heart, and let her be harmonious in the future.

Concubine Hui gave her a wink, intending to allow her to do something out of the ordinary, harmony is a matter of the future, today is to vent her anger.

Seeing that Zhang promised to bring tea, there was no tea table where Ping Guiren was sitting, so the tea was to be delivered to her, Zhang promised to stand respectfully in front of her, echoing what Concubine Yi said just now, and said softly: "The concubine was ignorant and ignorant in the past. She was instigated to do disrespectful things to the nobleman, and even invited the nobleman a lot. After drinking this cup of tea, the past is over."

Of the three present, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi are all drafted into the palace, and she is the daughter of a famous family, but Zhang Xu is the little maid picked up from Yingtai, exactly the same as her old master. The lowly people.Hearing her say these words at this moment, I can't help but sneer: "It seems that my sister has studied very well in Yonghe Palace and Jingyang Palace. Both of you come from the same background as you, and you both learn to speak decent words. You are very polite, so I'm afraid that others will see through your smile. Han and humble background."

Zhang promised his heart was twisted, his face was calm, and he held the tea bowl steadily and said: "The concubine came from a humble background. I was afraid that the vulgar words in the past would stain the ears of the nobles and ladies. I have learned to speak cautiously over the years, and I will make you laugh. gone."

Guiren Ping stretched out his hand to pick up the tea, and smiled: "From now on, sisters and sisters, let the past go." But he just touched the tea bowl in his hand, and seeing that Zhang promised to let go, Guiren Ping let go of his hand, and the whole bowl The hot tea was turned out, and it was all splashed on Zhang Xu's hand. She was burned and hurt, and she didn't have time to catch the tea bowl. Amid the crisp crackling sound, there was a mess all over the floor.

Ping Gui let out a sigh: "Sister, what are you doing? Are you unconvinced and want to burn me, don't you?"

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were watching from the side, Concubine Yi frowned and tsk tsk, a little bit impatient, she turned to look at Concubine Hui, she was drinking tea calmly, seeing the embarrassment on the other side for a while, she opened her mouth and said: "Isn't there still a bowl of tea? Zhang promised that if you want to make amends, you can serve Ping Guiren another bowl of tea. Since you also said that Concubine De provoked you in those things, I don't think Ping Guiren will blame you. After drinking the tea , and it's over."

Zhang promised the burning pain in the back of her hand, she didn't dare to look down, what's worse, the hot water splashed on the cuff, the scalding water soaked the cloth and adhered to the skin, it was as good as roasting her hand directly on the stove, the piercing pain called her She was trembling all over, but no one cared about her injury, Concubine Hui even asked her to bring a bowl of tea.

At this point, she has to endure everything, otherwise her efforts will be in vain, and her previous efforts will be in vain.Zhang promised to grit his teeth, turned around and brought the bowl of tea that should have been reserved for him, and still respectfully brought it to Mr. Ping, and said humbly: "Your honor, calm down, it was the concubine who was careless."

Mr. Ping looked up to see the big blisters on her hands, and said with a smile: "How dare I be angry with you, everyone said that the emperor likes you very much, now if you see the blisters in your hands, ask who hurt you?" Without you, should I be blamed for my bad luck again?"

"No, no, it's my concubine's carelessness. It has nothing to do with you." Zhang promised to lower her posture as much as possible. She knew that Pinggui, like those wicked women in Yingtai, would only feel satisfied when she saw others being trampled under her feet. , Their hearts have long been distorted. In their world, there has never been right and wrong, human ethics and morality.

Concubine Yi didn't seem to have the heart, coughed dryly and said, "Sister Ping, drink some tea, the tea is going to be cold."

Guiren Ping replied: "Your Majesty said that it will be bad if it gets cold." He stretched out his hand to pick up the tea, but it was exactly the same as before, no matter how careful Zhang promised, as long as she let go, Guiren Ping would let go of the teacup in her hand , the tea in the warm pavilion was not bad. After these efforts, the still hot tea was splashed on Zhang Xu's hand again. She fell down in pain, and her knee hit the broken tile again. She instinctively stretched out her hand to support it. The palm was pressed against the fragments again and was cut, dripping with blood for a moment, very scary.

Concubine Yi couldn't stand it anymore, she turned to Concubine Hui and said, "She still has to serve the emperor."

Concubine Hui gave her a disdainful look, and finally said: "Zhang promised you were really careless, hurry back and clean up." As she spoke, she called Yanzhu to take him away, and another maid came in to clean up the mess, and saw the broken porcelain There was blood all over the film, several maids were terrified, but the masters were calm and composed, they could only clean up and leave quickly.

As soon as the idlers left, Mrs. Ping showed a respectful and humble look to the two of you again, and was busy adding tea to Concubine Hui, while Concubine Yi said from the side: "Sister Ping, Zhang promised to be my person now, very obedient and docile, in the future For my sake, things like today can be avoided if possible."

Guiren Ping smiled awkwardly: "The concubine has just been fascinated by the past."

"You have been confined for more than a year, and you should understand what the situation in the palace is like. You are so young, and there will be no place for you on the dragon couch in the Qianqing Palace." Concubine Hui showed a gesture of gratitude, and she promised to be indifferent to Zhang just now. With a cruel look on his face, he was a bit polite at the moment, "There are not many noble concubines in the palace, the emperor understands in his heart, sister, you can wait at ease, no matter how anxious you are right now, you can't rush the empress dowager's funeral. Your majesty There are some days to slow down, before that you have to be quiet, otherwise the Yonghe Palace will stare at you again, without Zhang's promise, there will be many people rushing to let Concubine De be the gunman, You have to be careful."

"The concubine remembers the words of the empress, and hopes that the empress will take care of the concubine more in the future." Ping Guiren's face was full of hostility, wishing to kill those women who had brought her to this state.

In Yikun Palace, the injured Zhang promised to be sent back soon. Although she was not beaten, it only took two bowls of tea, which left her covered in cuts and bruises. The back of her hands and wrists were covered with horrible blisters, and her palms were cut several times. The blood flowed profusely, and the knee was also cut. When the close-fitting pants were taken off, the blood stained the leg all the way. The wound was not very scary at first, but the bloody appearance made Xiaoyu cry.

Xiao Yu cried and wiped the blood for his master, while begging: "Let's beg Empress Defei, don't stay here any longer, okay?"
