Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

When the news of the big brother following the southern tour came, Lan Qi was in the Ningshou Palace talking with the queen mother and several old concubines, Fujin. The big brother came after the news, kowtowed to the queen mother, saying that he would accompany his father Please take care of yourself, Grandmother.

Everyone praised the elder brother for his ability and promise. Lan Qi sat aside and watched quietly. The queen mother earnestly taught: "The most important thing is to be safe along the way. You are still a child. Don't be too brave. These things are up to your uncle and ministers." Cooking, just be careful and follow you, Ama, the most important thing is the bones of your father and son, eat and sleep outside, be careful in everything."

There were only a few words of exhortations repeated over and over, but Lan Qi was staring at the tall and burly elder brother in a daze. In the blink of an eye for more than ten years, that little baby became a big man with a daughter under her knees. In the blink of an eye, she waited for the fourth elder brother Growing up, ten 34 growing up, should she be old?

Turning the head to look at the Queen Mother, there are faint gray hairs on the sideburns. When I first saw her in the past, she still had the charm of a mid-mature lady. It is true that time is not forgiving.

On the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Luzhu Xiangyue diligently tidied up the master's bedroom. Lan Qi knew their careful thoughts. According to the old habit, the emperor always liked to visit the Yonghe Palace before going out, even if it was just to stop and give a few words. , but after looking forward to tonight for a long time, there was no sign of the imperial chariot. Later, when they heard that the emperor had left Chengqian Palace, Luzhu and the others were excited, but the imperial chariot wandered to the West Sixth Palace, and there was no one in Yonghe. Shaking in front of the palace gate.

Several people were drooping, but Lan Qi smiled leisurely and said: "Long live Lord will bring some delicious food to the palace, can I give it to you?"

These were all jokes, and Lan Qi wouldn't be so magnanimous, but she knew the current situation in the palace, and she remembered that Xuan Ye said that there were many ways to prevent Concubine Yi from accompanying her. I forgot about the trifles of the six palaces for a while, but when I thought about it in the first month, Concubine Yi fell ill immediately, thinking that it was the emperor's idea to escape, and he was able to do it like this.

On this side, the imperial chariot really stopped in front of the gate of Yikun Palace. Zhang promised to wait in front of the gate early wearing a cloak. In the cold weather, there is no need to meet the driver at the door in the future."

Zhang promised to bow his head in response: "The empress said that she couldn't get up, which is a breach of etiquette. I want my concubines to stop being negligent. Please come from the emperor. The empress has already washed and washed, and is waiting on the couch."

"You are my promise, not her slave." Xuan Ye didn't know why this sentence came out. After all, he was the one who gave birth to him and was loyal to Lan Qi, although Xuan Ye himself felt that this was a top-level thing. The layered relationship is very awkward, but Zhang Jiashi is not a bad woman, even if the relationship is divided, a few words of concern will always be enough.

Zhang promised but was unmoved. For a while, she took off her clothes every day and waited outside the door wrapped in a cloak. Even if it wasn't the emperor's fault, she didn't dare to have any fantasies about the superior man in front of her. Lan Qi's loyalty, she never hoped to share much love from the emperor.

Seeing her like this, Xuan Ye didn't say anything more, and entered the door to Concubine Yi's inner hall. The whole room smelled of soup and medicine. Although the people on the sick bed were clean and dressed, they couldn't hide their faces under the candlelight. The fine lines at the corners of the eyes became more obvious due to thinner, Xuan Ye felt a little compassionate, after all, this time the medicine was taken too hard, and when he heard that Yi Fei had a fever two days ago, he was quite worried about leaving her alone. Killed.

Earlier, he had told Lan Qi that he would not take Concubine Yi south, but he had forgotten about it when he was so busy. After the first month passed, he suddenly remembered and asked Eunuch Liang to arrange it.That day happened to be a banquet held by the Empress Dowager. During the banquet, each person had a cup of black ginseng and shark's fin soup. Eunuch Liang sent someone to pour medicine into Concubine Yi's soup. He must have someone carefully bring it to Concubine Yi. The person who sent it was also with his own eyes. Watching Yifei eat it.

At that time, I just wanted Concubine Yi to have a stomachache and her legs and feet were weak so that she could not go out with her, so she caught a cold and had a fever. Xuan Ye was not happy and said that the attack was too harsh, which caused Eunuch Liang to be scolded. Fortunately, Concubine Yi was blessed Big, the burnt-out person managed to get over it.

"When the concubine recovers, can I chase after the emperor?" Concubine Yi lowered her cheeks, her eyes were red, she didn't cry but deliberately choked up a few times, and said coquettishly, "The concubine waited for the stars and the moon until today, It ended up like this."

"It's inconvenient for you to go on the road alone, and the Queen Mother will definitely not agree. If you can persuade the Queen Mother to agree, I will let you come after me." Xuan Ye gently coaxed her, "If you insist on doing this What do you think, ministers? Think I’m not going to do serious business, and your reputation is not good. Jiangnan Zhen will go again, and I will definitely take you with me in the future. Next time, you should take care of your body and go out again I will not agree to such a thing.”

Because of her illness, Concubine Yi didn't dare to bully her and cling to the emperor, she looked at him pitifully: "Is it true that the concubine can't accompany you?"

Xuan Ye smiled leisurely, and said patiently: "I will bring you something along the way to have a look. Also, after returning to the palace, I will live in Changchun Garden. You haven't been there yet, so go there together when the time comes."

Concubine Yi was happier now, and planned to talk to the emperor for a while, but Eunuch Liang urged him outside, saying that the wind was blowing and he was afraid that school would be over in a while, so he asked the emperor to go back to Qianqing Palace as soon as possible, and leave early in the morning.

Naturally, this was instigated by Xuan Ye a long time ago. He didn't want to stay in Yikun Palace for a long time, so he was about to leave. Concubine Yi suddenly ordered Taohong: "Zhang promises, let Zhang promise to send Long live Lord off."

Xuan Ye frowned slightly, and left calmly. Zhang outside the door promised to stand by. The ground dragon in the room was as warm as spring, but she waited outside and almost froze into a snowman. Xuan Ye couldn't bear it, and walked all the way to When he was outside the door, he suddenly said: "Brother Thirteen is very well-behaved, why don't you go to Yonghe Palace some other day?"

Zhang promised to be startled, nodded in a hurry, Fushen respectfully sent the emperor away, and only waited for the imperial chariot to go away, Xiao Yu pushed the master: "Let's go in? Please give your concubine Yi a rest, and rest early , your body is frozen."

Zhang promised to recover, and came back to Concubine Yi silently all the way. She was lying softly, without raising her eyelids, and said bitterly: "I thought I couldn't go by myself, so I would send you to follow me." Well, in the end you didn't wink at all, and you were told to dress up like this and wait for nothing, if you open your mouth, I'll beat the side drum again, won't it be enough?"

"The concubine thinks that the emperor must be afraid that you will be unhappy." Zhang promised to reply calmly, "No matter how the concubine coaxes the emperor to like him, it will not be as important as you in his heart."

Concubine Yi was really easy to coax, she cheered up with a few words, lamented that she was not blessed to be on the southern tour, and after talking for a long time was useless, she agreed to go to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, the holy driver left the palace in a mighty way and headed south. The emperor left the house neatly without letting the concubines see him off.And this time, the royal driver left Beijing on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and planned to return to the palace at the end of February. It took nearly two months before and after. If there was any delay or change in the itinerary on the road, I am afraid that he would return in March.People in the palace said that when the emperor went out, the concubines were still bulging in their jackets, and when he came back, it would be a different scene with light shirts in spring.

And the most worrisome thing is that I thought Concubine Yi was following her retinue, and regardless of the jealousy, at least she had someone to serve her personally. The emperor has been away for more than two months, how can she succeed without anyone by her side? At that time, there was not a single concubine accompanying the palace except for the maids who served in the palace. The spring in the south of the Yangtze River was infinitely good, and the hearts of the women were hanging.

In a blink of an eye, it has been four or five days since Shengjia left Beijing. On this day, Lan Qi took a break from her busy schedule, holding her fourteenth brother to bask in the sun under the eaves, and Concubine Rong brought Rong Xian to visit.The ninth day of the first lunar month was originally the birthday of the fourteenth elder brother Yinti, but there was no celebration in Yonghe Palace, and the emperor left the palace on the eighth day without saying anything. Everyone knew that Concubine De was here to commemorate the Empress Dowager. Since she had such thoughts, The people in the palace still lack a little favor to send each other off.

But to the sisters who are close friends in private, I would like to express my congratulations. After all, it is not easy to have a child, and it is even more difficult to raise a child. It is safe and sound to be one year old, and it is time to celebrate and thank God.At this moment, elder sister Rong Xian was putting a string of gold beads on her younger brother's wrist, and tied a very complicated auspicious knot with red string between each golden bead. Beads are picked one by one, and the size must be uniform and the workmanship should be meticulous, which will cause trouble to people."

Rong Xian raised his head and looked at E Niang, there were some things he kept hidden in his heart, and when Yinti was coaxed into laughing, he hugged his younger brother and went to play.

Watching the siblings leave, Lan Qi said to Sister Rong: "What does she want to do in the future, sister just let her go, Sister Bu told me that she heard the girls talking in the room, Chun Xirong Xian and the others all said that after a few years when younger brothers and sisters are born, they won’t be able to see them anymore, and now that the elder brother even has a daughter, the day when they get married is just around the corner.”

Concubine Rong's eyes turned red when she heard this, and Lan Qi said again heavily: "My sister also knows that there is a lively rumor inside and outside the palace, and the grassland is very uneven. grown up……"

At this moment, Lan Qi felt that she was too cruel. Her Wen Xian and Wen Chen had been promised not to marry the grassland. What she said was without confidence.

Concubine Rong covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said calmly, "I'm prepared in my heart, I'll listen to you, let them go for these two years."

Lan Qi doesn't want her to be sad. The mother and daughter are together for a year, and the sad thoughts are reserved for the days to come. Now it's time to be happy, and the two of them have a rare time to talk about interesting things. Opening the topic, and gradually returning to the children, Concubine Rong said: "The emperor sent back halfway yesterday the order to let the prince go to Changchun Garden to study alone, and he is in Wuyi Zhai, do you know?"

Lan Qi nodded: "It's a very quiet place. When I lived in that year, I wondered who would live in this place in the future, but I moved it to the prince to study."

Concubine Rong leaned aside softly and said, "I heard that Da Fujin is here again, but Concubine Hui is hiding there and has not been allowed to tell."

Lan Qi was very surprised, counting the days are too frequent and too close, how can Da Fujin bear it at such a young age?But before she could sigh, someone came to report from the palace gate, supported by Lu Zhu, she hurriedly said: "Master, the imperial concubine is not well, she passed out just now."
