Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Hui turned a blind eye to the turmoil of the past, and her consistent demeanor in front of others has won some face for Changchun Palace during this period of turmoil.After all, she is the mother of the emperor's eldest son. As a concubine, it is her duty not to interfere in the government affairs. The emperor seems to be somewhat satisfied with this, at least she has no complaints about the harem. Before the case came out, a reward was awarded to Changchun Palace.

Although Concubine Hui was terrified in her heart, she was still calm and calm towards others on the face, which had to be admired by others.

All of this also spread to Lan Qi's ears, and she didn't care about it, she just took care of her body in Yonghe Palace with peace of mind.

At the beginning of February, Concubine De was close to her confinement. Although she narrowly escaped death before giving birth, she did not suffer much because of the smooth delivery. She recovered quickly during her recuperation for more than a month. In just thirty days, she transformed herself from a haggard and swollen puerpera back to the ruddy and graceful Wuya Lanqi.

Besides, Concubine Rong has been ill for a long time and the sisters haven't seen each other for dozens of days. Concubine Rong finally left her sick bed this day. When Concubine Rong came to congratulate her, she saw Lan Qi coaxing Brother Thirteen to toddler on the porch, and she was immediately dumbfounded.

"Yinxiang, your name is Rong Niangniang." Lan Qi came holding the thirteenth elder brother, and Concubine Rong scolded her, "Your waist is good, you just gave birth to a child, carefully hug them and flash your waist."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "The imperial doctor also told me, but I think that if you are lazy, you are really lazy, and you can be energetic if you move more." As she spoke, she teased Yin Xiang in her arms, asking him to call her Lady Rong.

Elder Brother Thirteen is not good at shouting yet, he held back for a long time and couldn't yell out, he leaned on Lan Qi's shoulder shyly, Concubine Rong teased and said a few words, Lu Zhu came over and said: "Tea is set in the warm pavilion, please Madam Let's sit and talk."

Concubine Rong said that it was getting warmer, and she couldn't sit still in the warm pavilion. The sun was so good today, and they both just got out of bed. Two people sat on the soft cushions.

Concubine Rong hugged Elder Brother Thirteen and sat on her lap, and asked why the little princess was missing. Lan Qi said that the little girl was snoozing and fell asleep with Elder Fourteen at the moment, but that was fine, otherwise the three little princesses The dolls made a fuss together, and the roof of the Yonghe Palace was about to be torn off.

"Your troubles, others can't ask for it." Concubine Rong smiled, looked at the thirteenth elder brother in her arms, and said softly, "His mother went to Yikun Palace, I heard some right and wrong, In the past few days, I heard that she and Concubine Yi are serving tea in Qianqing Palace."

Lan Qi could see displeasure in Concubine Rong's eyes, and looking at her complexion, after all, she couldn't compare to someone in her teens or twenties. After being sick like this, her face was thin and yellow, and the parts of her cheeks that were not evenly covered with makeup, The true color of the skin is exposed, but it does not hide the ugliness.And because she has lost a lot of weight, her eyes looked frighteningly big in contrast, Lan Qi couldn't help but persuade: "Kaichun Shanzhen is the most delicious, my sister eats more, it's important to take good care of your body, their business has nothing to do with us."

Concubine Rong glanced at Lan Qi, under the sun, she saw her complexion was rosy and her skin was plump, she looked like a woman who just gave birth, she couldn't help sighing: "It's nice to be young."

Lan Qi didn't answer, she will be in her thirties in a few years, she will no longer be the teenage Xiao Changzai, and there will be newcomers in the harem, even the young nobles will become Becoming an "old man", the word young, will never match the years.The most important thing is to have a good attitude. You can't deal with yourself casually just because you are old, and you can't spend recklessly without restraint just because you are young and beautiful. It is better for people to take it easy at any time.

Concubine Rong teased Elder Brother Thirteen, and talked with Lan Qi about the recent affairs in the palace, and talked about the fact that Concubine Hui controlled the Sixth Palace in the past few days when she was ill, and sighed: "If it wasn't for Mingzhu's incident this time... , she might want to take all the rights in my hands in the future, she is a capable person, she is not afraid of not doing well, but for the emperor, it is the same for anyone who does these things."

Lan Qi knew that Sister Rong was sad, it was her capital to gain a foothold in the Sixth Palace, now she was taken away by Concubine Hui because of an illness, how could she be reconciled, and she was also sad that even the emperor didn't care about her old age, how she felt, Lan Qi Although Qi didn't bear it, she could imagine the hard work.But Nian Xuanye is not a heartless person, and he didn't want Concubine Rong to have any resentment, so he said for the emperor without authorization: "The emperor understands what is more important in his heart, even if the empress dowager's incident happened, it did not delay the important affairs of the court, sister You should understand, it's just because you feel sorry for your illness and you don't want to reason, and in a month or two when you recover, the emperor should speak up."

"I hope." Concubine Rong was not very confident, but she came to talk to Lan Qi today, she naturally hoped that Lan Qi would mention it in front of the emperor, but she also felt strange in her heart, so she couldn't help asking at this moment: "The emperor is back. It's been a while, why haven't I come to see you in Yonghe Palace?"

"I just came here to gossip. There are always rules and etiquette in the affairs of the empress dowager. You don't need to worry too much. The most annoying thing for the emperor is the government, but I can't say a word about the things here." Lan Qi seemed There was no dissatisfaction with the current situation, and he said plainly, "It's causing headaches for the children when they come here. I don't think it's inappropriate for Concubine Yi and the others to serve tea by her side."

Concubine Rong frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that the people in front of her were a little hard to see through. Although these words were spoken calmly, she still felt that there was something else in them no matter how she listened. In other words, Wuya Lanqi definitely didn't intend to win the favor again.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps in front of the door, Huan Chunben stood by, saw someone outside who wanted to send a message, so he went up to meet him, and hurried back after hearing the message in front of the door, he said to the two: "The imperial court has made a decision, Mingzhu Your Excellency is dismissed from the Cabinet."

Concubine Rong immediately asked: "What else?"

Huan Chun shook his head: "No other words, probably just dismissed from office."

"It's cheaper for him." Concubine Rong cursed angrily, and then felt that it was wrong, she called the nurse to take Brother Thirteen away, and brought tea to drink by herself as if to cover up her embarrassment, when she looked at Lan Qi again, her expression was condensed, There was no hatred in his eyes.

"The centipede is dead but not stiff, my sister can see it more openly." Lan Qi sneered, lowered her head and gently turned the gold bracelet with dragon and phoenix patterns on her wrist, "This result is already much better than I imagined."

Concubine Rong said softly: "Listen to the rumors, Brother Six..."

Lan Qi looked up at her suddenly, and said with a smile: "Sister is a sensible person, there are some things we can't say."

Concubine Rong's complexion tightened, as if she had only seen the person in front of her clearly at this moment. After the empress dowager left, Wu Yalanqi was completely different. The resolute aura in her eyes made her want to avoid it after looking at it for a long time. It was as if she had seen through all her thoughts.

"I understand." Concubine Rong sank her heart, and calmed down, "I'm getting older, and I don't have the aggressiveness of my youth, but I hope that Jingyang Palace will be safe and sound. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. They rely on their family background to be superior to others in the palace, but in the end they are still burdened by their family members, and we are innocent, which is actually a blessing."

Lan Qi nodded and said: "Sister said yes, so we should cherish blessings even more."

After the Yonghe Palace knew about these things, all the concubines in the Sixth Palace knew about it. Those concubines who used to be attached to the Changchun Palace were all anxious to separate themselves from Concubine Hui. Although the emperor rewarded Concubine Hui a while ago, they don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Who knows if Changchun Palace will be unlucky tomorrow.

Concubine Hui was no longer silent this time, and the next day she used illness as an excuse to push away everything in her hands. When Concubine Rong came to visit, she was politely refused, saying that she was in a coma and was almost taken away by the Changchun Palace. He returned to Jingyang Palace again, but Concubine Rong couldn't handle everything alone, so she must be assisted by one person.

On the first day after the imperial doctor said that the concubine de concubine could go out and walk around, Lan Qi put on a lot of makeup and went to the Yinghua Palace and the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. The pavilion was being dismantled and had to be moved to the foot of Changrui Mountain as it was, which made him even more sad, holding Huanchun to watch for a long time before leaving.

Afterwards, I went to Ningshou Palace, and Wen Xian came out to greet her when I arrived at the gate. I haven't seen her for more than a month. The little girl seemed to have grown a lot taller. She threw herself under Lan Qi's knees and looked at her mother with a smile. It's beautiful, it's beautiful."

Seeing her daughter, Lan Qi's sadness dissipated a lot, and she praised her for taking care of the queen mother very well these days, and Wen Xian complained angrily: "The imperial grandmother is not obedient at all, she always refuses to take medicine, I am so tired , I will tell Huang Ama later."

Lan Qi couldn't laugh or cry, she was led by her daughter all the way to the Queen Mother's pavilion, the Queen Mother's phoenix body also recovered, but she was not able to recover as fast as Lan Qi and the others at a certain age, so she was less able to go out.

In front of the door, the maid raised the curtain and walked into the Nuan Pavilion, when she heard the Queen Mother say: "Pearl's party members are all over the world, comparable to the Hesheli clan. The Hesheli clan is the crown prince's reliance. How can the emperor allow the emperor Can the power behind the eldest son compete with the crown prince? A woman like me can understand such a simple truth."

"Grandmother, my mother is here." But the little girl didn't understand the business of the adults, and she suddenly yelled, Lan Qi quickly followed into the door, and she saw the queen mother leaning on the kang, sitting beside Su Mala .It's been a long time since the empress dowager and the nanny saw the radiant Concubine De come in, their eyes lit up, the empress dowager recited Amitabha, put her arms around Lan Qi and said, "Look at your appearance, I really want to let the empress dowager look at you One glance."

One sentence aroused the sadness of the three of them, and it was inevitable that they wept. It would be better if Wen Xian coaxed them back and forth. Afterwards, they only said some words of comfort. On the way, I supported Mammy firmly, but as I walked, I couldn't hold back, and tears fell like rain.

An old man and a young man stood in the corridor, and the mother quietly looked at the weeping Concubine De, recalling her previous appearance and the details of the past ten years, and said with emotion: "It is a great blessing for the Empress Dowager to die without any illness. It's all a gift from your mother."

Lan Qi shook her head, and after she calmed down, a smile appeared from her tears: "Don't worry, Mammy, I will live a better life than before."

At this time, I saw Yukui coming from the Yonghe Palace, seeing the nanny talking to the master, and didn't dare to approach her for a while. The nanny asked her what was the matter, and Yukui replied: "It's the Long Live Lord who came to the Yonghe Palace. The servant girl came to ask the empress to go back earlier." .”
