Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Seeing that the master was enraged, Yan Zhu persuaded from the side: "Right now, the wind is getting tighter, is your empress acting in a low-key manner, and let's see how the adults arrange things outside?"

Concubine Hui shook her head slowly, with anger gathering between her brows: "This is not something that can be rumored. Since it is already waiting for the emperor to return to the court, they have to take action, and they have no time to guard against it. What they can do is to see what happens later. Can move back to the situation, what I do in the palace has no effect on them."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Ping likes people who like to make trouble when people are in trouble. If Mingzhu suffers a setback, she must have something else to say in the palace. Could it be that with my seniority, I let her, a little nobleman, ridicule me?" Clutching her hand tightly, he said, "The Hesheli clan have left her alone for so long, and now they suddenly enter the palace, they must know her activities inside the palace and the situation outside the palace, no matter what the worst outcome is, I will The dignity in the palace cannot allow them to trample on it. If I lose my dignity, elder brother will also be looked down upon by others."

Yan Zhu heard the truth, and asked slyly: "What is your mother planning to do, just tell the slaves."

Concubine Hui's eyes rolled slightly, a plan was born in her mind, and she said coldly: "Although arresting her for being disrespectful to the Empress Dowager is the best way to suppress it, but involving the Empress Dowager is afraid of provoking the emperor's wrath and making things worse It’s not good if you do it. And their family is in charge of the internal guards, so it’s inevitable that there will be some contacts. Do you know that the noble Jue Chan was criticized in the past?”

Yanzhu is also a person who has been in the palace for many years, but he did not work among the concubines in the past. He knows a lot of secrets about the trivial matters in the palace. , nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, ma'am, this is the easiest thing to do. Right now, the empress dowager and the imperial concubine are not in charge. It's up to you to have the final say?"

Concubine Hui breathed a long sigh of relief: "Even if I'm not happy, it's not her turn to stir up trouble in the palace."

The master and servant made up their plan, and one day before the emperor returned to Luan, Concubine Yi was invited to the Changchun Palace with a promise. The guards have an affair, this matter can be big or small, Concubine Hui sat at the head calmly, sighed and said: "The imperial concubine has already said something, let me make the decision, this matter should not be too big, please The sisters are just here as circumstantial evidence, don't let people think that I am playing tricks to bully Mr. Ping."

"Bah!" Ping Gui, who was kneeling on the ground, was almost insane. She just heard a message from someone at home, asking her to go to the imperial garden to pick up the objects delivered privately. Because the matter is urgent, no palace maids and eunuchs can replace it. It happened before, when she was "caught on the spot" in the Imperial Garden, she found out that she was being tricked, and she was sent all the way to Changchun Palace. When she wanted to defend herself, everything was prepared here.

"I see what good results you can have. Your family is about to collapse. How long can you be proud? If the emperor is not here and the prince is not here, you dare to bully me. I will keep this breath and wait to see you cry." Ping Guiren screamed, if she hadn't been suppressed by two thick maids, she would have rushed to tear Concubine Hui's face.

The concubine Xi snorted and laughed: "There are more and more irregularities in the palace nowadays. Those who have done something wrong are still so arrogant. There is a room full of empresses sitting, and it is her turn to speak nonsense." She stretched out her slender armor to her side The palace maid pointed, "Concubine Hui has a good temper, I can't tolerate it, teach Ping nobles how to behave."

The maid who followed Xi Concubine, her face was as rigid as a stone sculpture, she just did what the master asked her to do, walked up to Mrs Ping under the eyes of everyone, raised her hand up and down twice, there was a crackling sound, Mrs Ping ate heavily With two slaps, five finger prints appeared on the white cheeks, which was shocking to see.

Even maids in the palace don't like to slap face, let alone famous concubines. Xi concubine does this because she doesn't want to accumulate grudges for too long and takes the opportunity to vent her anger. Anyone with a discerning eye can see these right and wrong, and they are doomed to have no future.

Concubine Tong who was sitting next to her was Lord Ping's former lord of the palace, but she was as weak as her, and she felt relieved at the moment. If you think about it, when Jue Chan was accused of adultery, he would not have been in such a situation.

"No embarrassing things happened, let's make it a trivial matter." Seeing nobleman Ping who was about to attack after being beaten, but his mouth was tightly covered, Concubine Yi finally spoke and said to Concubine Hui impatiently, "After all, it's nothing. It's a bad thing, let Ping Guiren go back and reflect on it, she happens to live in a courtyard with a single family, so she won't hinder others."

Concubine Hui quietly looked at the crowd and asked for their opinions. No one had any objection, so the matter was settled. After dragging Mr. Ping away, she told everyone: "Sheng Jia will return to Luan tomorrow, and everyone will rest for a while. It's time to cheer up, nothing can go wrong in the palace."

These words are the big truths on the scene, and everyone will accept it after hearing it, but since the Changchun Palace broke up, there are always people gossiping, Concubine Duan left Changchun Palace and went straight to Yonghe Palace because of Concubine Rong's instruction, and told the whole story I told Lan Qi.

At that time, Elder Brother Thirteen was sitting on Lan Qi's lap. She was scraping fruit puree with a silver spoon and giving it to the child. The maid came to wash her hands with water, and then Concubine Duan hugged Elder Brother Thirteen and said to Lan Qi: "I heard that nobleman Ping bullied Zhang Xu a few days ago, I heard Sister Rong sigh, today I saw that her hands are wrapped Wearing gauze, I don’t know what happened.”

"In Jingyang Palace, I can still intervene, but without Sister Li Rong, I can't care about it." Lan Qi still turned against Xing'er in front of Duan Concubine and the others, of course she couldn't show her true feelings, she just said lazily, "She's lucky, much luckier than Mr. Ping."

Mentioning Noble Ping again, Concubine Duan said: "I heard her keep saying that Concubine Hui's natal family is about to fall, and I've also heard rumors in the palace these days. Could it be that the Mingzhu Mansion is really going to fail?"

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously, and smiled gently: "Sister, we shouldn't talk about these government affairs, the emperor will come back tomorrow, if he finds that the women in the palace are not thinking about the empress dowager, but thinking about the disputes in the court, he How chilling should it be?"

Concubine Duan frightened, thinking that this was the truth, so she kept silent and sat down to chat with Lan Qi. The nurses brought the little princess and brother Fourteen, and Concubine Duan asked, "I haven't seen Wen Xian for a long time. gone."

Lan Qi said gratifiedly: "I miss her too, but she has been in the Ningshou Palace, Huanchun has been to see her, and she waits by the Queen Mother every day, the little person is very handsome in serving tea and water, I am really relieved, I always look at her posture of being a demon king, not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, for fear of being spoiled, and in the future Li Gong will not be easy to get along with in her husband's house, I didn't expect Pi Guipi to be a caring little padded jacket."

Concubine Duan said with a smile: "After all, you are lucky to have such beautiful and intelligent children."

While talking, it seemed that someone was coming from outside, Huan Chun was supporting him outside, and he didn't see anyone coming in for a long time, so he thought it was an unimportant matter, and when the concubine Duan was about to leave, Huan Chun came back after seeing off the guests, and then said to the master with a smile: " Just now the concubine is here, and the slaves are not proud, guess who came just now?"

Seeing Huanchun's happy face, she knew that the emperor had sent someone to greet her, so she laughed: "The people under Mr. Liang's subordinates came to ask how you are. Shengjia is near the capital, and he will return to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Lan Qi asked her to bring the mirror, looked around carefully, and asked Huanchun: "Do I look good?"

Huan Chun sighed with emotion: "The emperor came that night, and before entering the door, he also asked the servants if he looked haggard."

Lan Qi put down the mirror, reached out and touched her waist under the quilt. Under the binding of the corset, her soft waist became much slimmer. Then she picked up the mirror to look at her cheeks, and said to Huanchun: "After the emperor returns to Luan, you go and tell Eunuch Liang that it's what I mean. The most important thing is for the emperor to take care of himself. Don't forget about me. The Yonghe Palace is full of noisy children. If the emperor wants to find a clean place, Yonghe is now The palace is not suitable."

Huan Chun lay down on the couch and asked: "Your Majesty, don't let the emperor come?"

Lan Qi nodded and said calmly: "When I see him again, I want to make him feel happy from the bottom of my heart. The empress dowager is gone. The most important thing for the emperor right now is to prop up the collapsed sky again. If so."

Huan Chun had tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty understands more and more, this servant thinks, the Empress Dowager must be very comforted in heaven."

Lan Qi also had slightly red eyes, and said firmly, "I want to live a good life."

Later, as the people sent back by Mr. Liang said, the emperor returned to the Forbidden City the next morning. Because he was still in uniform, there was still no formal morning court. Only a few ministers went in and out of the Qianqing Palace sporadically, and none of the concubines in the harem Greeting each other, everyone just stayed in the palace peacefully, and as for Mr. Ping, no one would mention it.

The emperor took off his clothes on the 23th day of the first lunar month. Due to illness, he was unable to manage the court until the [-]rd. On that day, the censor Guo Xiu played a book impeaching Mingzhu, Yu Guozhu and others for several crimes of forming a party for private interests, and Longyan was furious.

When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. The pearl has been reused many times since the emperor took office. He has made great contributions to the government and wars. For more than ten years, officials have been promoted to ranks. Until now, the power is in the hands of the government. It is not uncommon for Mingzhu to have today, but no one thought that during the funeral of the empress dowager, the emperor would still have the intention to continue to deal with them. It's like hitting a stone with an egg, I'm afraid that before she can speak, she has already been hijacked by Mingzhu.

The turmoil in the previous dynasty has affected the harem. Everyone knows that the Changchun Palace relies on the Mingzhu Mansion. Now that the Mingzhu faction is in jeopardy, and the Changchun Palace has no support in the court, Concubine Hui's life in the future is bound to be worse than before. She didn't care about this, and continued to do what she was supposed to do, making it impossible for others to see through her thoughts.
