Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Yi and the various palaces and courtyards are just casual acquaintances, she can nod and bow politely on her face, and turn her back, no one really takes her seriously. When it's important now, it's hard to think about her no matter what happens good or bad After all, in the eyes of everyone, Concubine Yi has always been attached to Concubine Hui. Now that Concubine Hui has taken the initiative to isolate herself from the harem by staying behind closed doors, Concubine Yi's situation has suddenly become a bit difficult.

She thought to herself, I am afraid that no one here will recommend her in front of the imperial concubine. Seeing that the concubines are all showing favor to the concubine De, they are secretly hating these women with the red top and white. I smiled very politely and said: "I once heard from Sister Huifei that Sister Yifei has always been capable, but she is bound by her elder brother and princess and cannot use her skills. Now that my elder brothers have grown up, it is time for my younger sister to show off." Skill, for the emperor and for the empress to share the worries."

Someone in the audience seemed unconvinced, and a voice came out and said, "The little princess Zhang promised to give birth to is raised in Yikun Palace and is still breastfeeding."

Lan Qi glanced into the crowd, her calm but majestic appearance was an aura that the concubine De concubine had never had in the eyes of everyone before, her gaze leisurely glanced at several people, all of them lowered their eyelids to avoid their sight, Lan Qi Not in a hurry to find Xing'er in the crowd, he said casually, "Zhang promised to be in Yikun Palace, so I can take care of the little princess by myself, isn't it difficult?"

A familiar figure flashed out of the crowd, it was the favored concubine after all, although she was only agreeing, the color of the clothes on Xing'er was better than that of the disgruntled nobleman, although she has taken off the clothes now, but to express her condolences , there are few bright and coquettish dresses in the palace, and Zhang promises the same.But even so, she still put in a lot of effort, and among the clothes and jewels, she was somewhat worthy of the vision of the nobleman Jue Chan.

Everyone looked at Zhang and agreed, and they all whispered to each other. Concubine Yi seemed to be stunned by Concubine De's actions, and she didn't know how to speak up, but Zhang promised to be very clever. Concubine De, said to herself: "I should do anything for Yifei, but I just take care of the little princess and violate the rules of the palace. I can't afford it in my heart."

These few words looked respectful, but in fact, the words were full of the arrogance of a concubine who favored concubine. If you want to say that Concubine De has been tireless in these years, she has never seen her like this in front of others. Everyone secretly felt that they really followed Concubine Yi , learned a bit of arrogance and arrogance in his words and deeds. No wonder such a person could not be kept in Yonghe Palace, nor could Jingyang Palace be locked up.

Concubine Duan seemed still angry at Zhang Jia's betrayal of Concubine Rong. Seeing her arrogance and disrespect, she couldn't help saying in a cold voice: "In our palace, the most powerful ones are not serious masters anymore. Look at Zhang's promise to these few words. Those who know, think that it was Empress Yifei who instigated her to be disrespectful to other people."

Concubine Yi saw that she was mentioned, her face was very tense, she was okay with talking to Concubine Duan, but Concubine Duan was a senior concubine in the palace, she was usually in the way of being decent and polite, now she would not be able to refute if asked Opening his mouth, his face turned red and white, only he scolded Zhang and agreed: "Be careful with what you say, whoever asks you to weigh the matter here, of course you will do what the ladies tell you."

Zhang promised but didn't know what to rely on, he dared to accuse Concubine De in person, saying: "Ms. De Concubine seems to be kind and generous to ask you to do things, but the concubine is not polite at all, like our Yikun The elder brother and princess in the palace don’t want anyone to take care of her.”

"Shut up, what's wrong with you talking nonsense here." Concubine Yi was a little anxious, pointing to Tao Hong beside her and said, "Zhang promised to be tired, take her back."

Tao Hong hurried up to invite her, and before the imperial concubine lost her temper, she insisted on taking Zhang Ao with her. There were more gossips in the hall, and it was rare that the imperial concubine did not get angry, and the concubine De also pleaded guilty to her mother when she saw the trouble : "It's my concubine's negligence, and my concubine Yi's sister also has things that she can't let go of. It seems that this matter has to be decided by the empress."

If the imperial concubine sat upright and watched these farces, she was wondering why Concubine De didn't take over, but she didn't bother to care about Zhang's rudeness. Push Concubine De to the position of assistant manager of the Sixth Palace. Originally, the Empress Dowager took her in the Palace of Compassion and Ning for training. The wish of the old man, for her to support the harem for the emperor?

The imperial concubine was fascinated by her own thoughts, she lowered her head and promised to be arrogant, but she didn't care much. Seeing that Lan Qi once again emphasized that she should make a decision, she lazily and impatiently said: "It's better for you to discuss an idea together, otherwise you will leave Chengqian Palace It’s time to arrange for me to gain power again, right?”

Everyone stood up and confessed that they didn't dare, and then sat down and stood firm, looking at each other. Seeing that there was no progress in the stalemate, Concubine Rong sighed inwardly, and softly asked Concubine Yi: "Sister See if it works?"

Concubine Yi was a little undecided, she wanted to taste what it was like to be in power in the palace, even though she knew it was just looking decent, but in fact it was just a trivial matter, but Concubine Hui did it very well, and she was full of imperial power. Concubine Concubine's posture, she didn't want to always make people feel that she was a freelancer, but now she was pushed up by Concubine De, and she always felt uncomfortable.

"If my younger sister is afraid of not being able to do well, it doesn't matter. No one is born with it. I will teach you slowly. Besides, you have taken care of Yikun Palace very well, and the ninth and eleventh brothers have been raised so well. You are capable." Concubine Rong said very politely, she understood that since Lan Qi pushed Concubine Yi out, she should not make any decisions about her, no matter what reason she refused to take over Liu Gong's affairs, now there is no hope her.

Concubine Yi smiled embarrassingly, and said to the imperial concubine: "The concubine has always been careless. If there are shortcomings in the future, please forgive me. The concubine will devote herself to learning from Sister Rong. I don't want merit but nothing. Pass."

Concubine Yi said this, which means she agreed. From now on, Concubine Rong will work with Concubine Rong to take care of the affairs of the Six Palaces. Although the power is still in the hands of Concubine Huang, Concubine Huang has never been too involved. In the future, Concubine Yi will handle matters Too much, even a lot of money has to go through her hands to flow everywhere. She has been watching Concubine Hui take care of it coldly, and now she finally has the opportunity to taste the taste of power.

"That's it." The imperial concubine was very impatient, and she was curious why Lan Qi refused to accept her arrangement. With the current situation in the palace, as long as Concubine De didn't bring it up, everyone would know that this position should be given to Yonghe She couldn't figure it out, so she ordered, "It's all gone, Concubine De, please pay attention, there are some things in the Palace of Compassion, I want to discuss with you here."

Everyone said yes, and left one after another after saluting, the nobleman Jue Chan and Yi Ying walked behind, Yi Ying said softly: "It's better to be the concubine De, the concubine Yi looks very unreliable, and the concubine Rong will have to work hard in the future .”

The nobleman Juechan smiled and said nothing, and waited for the two of them to walk back to the Yanxi Palace before entering the door. Someone ran after him, it was the little eunuch in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, and said that the empress asked the nobleman Juechan to come and sit down.

Unexpectedly, Defei didn't stay in Chengqian Palace for a short time. I don't know who was impatient and left in the blink of an eye. When Jue Chan came to Yonghe Palace, Defei had already stood in front of the door and washed her hands. Go to the house of the fourteenth elder brother and say to her: "Come together."

After seeing Concubine De coaxing her fourteenth elder brother, Jue Chan nobleman took the initiative to ask: "Is there something you want to order?"

"It's nothing. I haven't seen you for a long time. I can't talk properly when I met in Chengqian Palace. I just got free. Let you come and sit." Lan Qi said politely. Asking him to hiccup, Lan Qi dangled back and forth, and said casually, "Concubine Hui is like this now, does that satisfy you?"

The faint laughter echoed in the house, and the nobleman Jue Chan said: "It's not enough."

Lan Qi felt a slight chill on her back, but soon realized that it was indeed far from enough.The emperor didn't kill Mingzhu, so he couldn't let go of his hatred, but it was not easy for Xuanye to do this, no matter it was for the government or for her and sixth elder brother.

But at the moment Mingzhu is only dismissed. She told Concubine Rong that day that a centipede is dead but not stiff. She also understood that Mingzhu's faction will not be so easily defeated. Yesterday in Ningshou Palace, she heard what the queen mother said to the mother. I only saw half of it, and the other half of the matter must be that the emperor will not easily defeat the huge faction of Mingzhu, because the complete downfall of Mingzhu means that the power of the Hesheli family will cover the sky with one hand. This is the biggest challenge to the imperial power.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and the prince is only the prince after all, even if it is his own father and son, even if it has been decided that the prince will inherit Datong in the future, while the emperor is still around, the prince cannot show the slightest covetousness towards the imperial power.

Lan Qi has read a lot of books in the past ten years, even those stories are idle books in Xuan Ye's eyes, and there are such reasons in the stories of laughing and cursing, not to mention reading serious books, she has long understood that the supremacy of imperial power throughout the ages , is something that no one can shake and covet, and there is no more embarrassing existence than the prince in the world.

All of these means that the power behind the elder brother will not recover from it. In the court, the emperor used the power conflicts of the ministers to make them check and balance each other. Maybe one day, or even already, for the adult princes, he will Following the same pattern, the best way to curb their sexual expansion is not the father's unilateral suppression, but the restraint between the brothers.

It's just these things, even if I think about it in my heart, I feel helpless or even sad. Lan Qi hugged the fourteenth elder brother in her arms, and remembered Concubine Rong's saying that water can carry a boat and capsize it. She is indeed from a clean family background, but the emperor The in-law relationship connected with her family is no longer that simple.

Seeing Concubine De was in a daze, nobleman Jue Chan was worried that his words would scare her, and further explained: "Concubine Hui's power depends on the ups and downs of Mingzhu, and the future of Mingzhu is still uncertain. She is waiting for a chance to recover, so she will come here I am willing to restrain my light when I speak." Then he asked Concubine De, "Did Your Majesty also think of this, so she doesn't fight for the right to assist the Six Palaces for a while, and is worried that Concubine Hui will regain her strength in the future and will compete with you?"

Lan Qi shook her head, and said with a smile: "Just now I explained to the imperial concubine, I am not unwilling to fight, nor am I afraid of Concubine Hui's fight, I just want to have a few more days of leisure, and let Concubine Yi see the reality clearly by the way. It doesn't take much effort, let her know what it's like, and retreat in the future, it's better than her telling people that we bullied her and don't take her as one of the four concubines seriously."

The nobleman Jue Chan nodded and said: "It is true that not everyone can do well in the affairs of the palace."

Seeing that her heart was calm, Lan Qi couldn't help sighing, she sat down with her fourteenth brother in her arms, and said kindly: "Actually, I have something to tell you. You must find me annoying in your heart, but I am kind. Look at Changchun Palace now. , is it all right for you to leave Eighth Brother there?"

The nobleman Juechan smiled wryly: "The empress is very fond of the eighth elder brother."

Lan Qi shook her head: "I'm afraid you will regret it in the future."
