Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

It snowed heavily in early November, and since Empress Daxing took off her clothes, the palace was pale again.In the warm pavilion of the Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi is holding Jin and being taught by Yin Xiang to read and write. The thirteenth elder brother is cute and clingy. Lan Qi likes this child more and more, and she misses his mother even more in her heart. In a few days, I will take the child to show Xing'er, and even want Xing'er to move to the lively palace, although Ling Lan's place is nice, it is too secluded.

There was a faint gust of cold wind blowing in, it must be someone coming from outside, after a while of whispering, Huan Chun opened the curtain again and came in, leaned over the kang and said to her: "Master Suo'etu is back, and the prince is also from Changchun. The garden is back."

Lan Qi nodded and said: "It's the end of the year, the prince should be back." She sighed again, "But after New Year's Day, the emperor will probably go to the garden. Empress Daxing wanted to go before she fell ill, but unfortunately the empress is too sick Do not move."

Huan Chun asked, "Shall we go?"

Lan Qi shook her head and said, "Let's see how the emperor arranges it."

Huan Chun smiled: "Long Live Lord must want you to go, where does Long Live Lord not take you?"

In his arms, Yinxiang said in a milky voice, "Huang Ama takes Erniang to go."

Lan Qi kissed him joyfully, but she thought in her heart that the children have grown up before they know it, and she should be more careful when speaking in front of them in the future, so she didn't respond to Huanchun, and waited for the wet nurse to come and take care of him later. The thirteenth elder brother took her away, and then said to her: "The empress dowager's funeral, the empress's funeral, the emperor hasn't been close to the harem in the past two years, no one can have limited sadness, let alone he has to continue to bear this burden." The world. He always wants to relax, and now he is being favored by newcomers, what am I going to do with the past, do they have to look at my face when they do anything?"

Huan Chun said with a smile: "It's fine for others to say this, but the empress can't say it. No one is more favored by the emperor than you."

"You're so frivolous." Lan Qi scolded her, "I'm already 30 years old, and I can't compare to the fresh and lovely people in their teens and 20s. He is in his prime, and I don't worry if I have one or two good ones to serve him. no?"

Huan Chun smiled and said: "Your Majesty's heart is really big, and I will be jealous again later, why are you so polite with your servants?"

Lan Qi laughed, "You're not too young, and you always tease me with these words." She sighed deeply, as if she was feeling sad about Empress Xiaoyi's life, and sighed: "Probably because I have experienced too many life and death, but it's just the end of the year. At the end of the year, I felt that I somehow lost some of my old temperament. Although I still don’t want him to have a new love and new favorite, it’s not as strong as before. Now I open my eyes and think about it every day. Whether he is in good health depends on whether there is any serious incident in the palace, whether the children are crying or not, as expected, beauties are raised in the clouds, once they are contaminated with smoke, it will be different."

Huanchun also felt that compared to other concubines, her master had too many things on her mind, she did everything wholeheartedly, whether it was the trivial matters of the sixth palace, or the daily life of elder brothers and princesses, she cared more about the emperor and the queen mother. But she never neglected, she was stuffed to the brim every day, it really gave her time to be jealous, and she would rather sleep on her side with her soft little elder brother and little princess, it was too hard.

"The empress dowager said that you don't want to worry about the affairs of the palace for the next two months, and take good care of your health." Huan Chun went to open the window a little to get some air, and felt a little cold waiting, so he quickly closed it again, and came back to give Moved another pot of charcoal in front of the master, and said, "The emperor sends people three times a day to ask you how you are. The servants are tired of it, but the emperor is not bothered."

Lan Qi tilted her head lazily and said, "What's bothering him? It's because the father-in-law is so kind and ready for him to ask anytime and anywhere. I don't think he wants to know all the time. Just ask."

Huan Chun waved his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. The servants have asked them, saying that Long Live Lord really asks them three times a day."

Lan Qi snorted hypocritically: "He has me in his heart, I know it."

At this time, someone seemed to be coming from outside again, Huan Chunying went out to be obedient, and after a while he came in with a strange expression on his face and said: "Changchun Palace just went to Ningshou Palace to announce the good news, and said that the concubine in the elder brother's mansion is pregnant, it seems to be going to The Queen Mother asks for an order to give that concubine a title of honor."

Lan Qi knew that the side Fujin in elder brother's mansion were also of high status, most of them came from famous families, and the crown prince's side Fujin was personally selected by the empress dowager, so the favored girl in elder brother's mansion would at most give a princess It is impossible for the side Fujin to have the title.But if the concubine could give birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, the child may have a better future based on the wealth of his mother, but in this way, according to Concubine Hui's preference, someone else gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the days after Dafu Jin would be even more difficult.

"It's just a concubine. When she really gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, it won't be too late to congratulate her." Lan Qi told Huanchun, and then reminded of the potbellied man in the palace, and then told her, "Let someone go and see Yuan and promise, she will come again." She's due in a month."

In the Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui came back in a warm sedan chair, entered the door and took off her thick cloak, stood by the stove to enjoy the fire, Yanzhu brought hot tea for her to drink, but she pushed her hand away, with a blank expression on her face, wrinkled She frowned and said: "I even gave birth to two daughters. I waited for her to take care of her body and then there would be good news. I didn't expect that a concubine would take the lead. She was also very good. She helped hide it for so long. Now all three months pregnant."

Yan Zhu stood aside holding tea, lowered her head and waited to be scolded, and she heard Concubine Hui scolding her: "Didn't you send people to watch Elder Brother's house, why didn't you find out until now?"

Yanzhu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Da Fujin seems to be on guard against you, she tried her best to replace all the people in Elder Brother's House with hers, bit by bit, and waited for the slaves to come back God, there is no one in the mansion who can talk, these days I have been preparing to stuff people into the mansion."

"This little bitch is really capable." Concubine Hui was so angry that she kicked the stove on the stove and sat down angrily, "Does she think that I really can't do anything about her? I think I really miss her as a daughter-in-law, without her there would be others, what is she?"

Yan Zhu put down the tea bowl, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm down. If you do anything with Da Fujin right now, it happens to be in the empress's funeral. Even if you choose a new Fujin, it won't be as good as the prince's side Fujin to enter the palace."

Concubine Hui frowned and said nothing, then she heard Yan Zhu whispered: "After all, it is of royal blood, if it is really the eldest grandson of the emperor, it is always a happy event, and many noble daughters are just a dignified status in the palace of Baylor, not to mention there will be others in the future." Opportunity is a side Fujin."

Concubine Hui frowned and said, "You don't understand the difference here, being born as a concubine is nothing, what matters is your mother's background." She raised her hand and pointed to the east, "If she hadn't come from such a humble background, she would have been a concubine or even a concubine long ago. The imperial concubine is here, that's the difference."

Yan Zhu sneered: "So it's doomed, she won't be able to surpass you for the rest of her life."

"So what if you can't get better?" Concubine Hui snorted coldly, and didn't say the sad words in her heart. She thought that if the big brother hadn't been up to the challenge, she might not even be able to make a promise to stay forever, but then she thought again, maybe This is her destiny, it is destined that she can share the wealth and honor with these women, as if the emperor owed her in the previous life, even if she doesn't like her anymore, she will not be hurt if she has a son.

"It's a pity that my lord still has no real power now, Lord Suo'etu is back." Yanzhu sighed softly, reminding the master, "Our elder brother has been enjoying the scenery for the past few months, and the prince is huddled in the Changchun Garden Don't reveal it, Mr. Suo'etu is back now, is he going to help the prince counterattack?"

A vicious thought flashed in Concubine Hui's mind, and Fu Er and Yan Zhu whispered: "He has been alone in the garden for so long, why is he still making trouble?"

Yan Zhu was stunned, remembering that the concubine's pregnancy in the eldest elder brother's mansion had been hidden for so long, and immediately understood what the master was thinking, with a cold smile on his brows: "I understand."

Three or five days later, because the prince came back from the Changchun Garden, the emperor took the prince to give lectures to the elder brothers in the upper study, and on that day selected the masters of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother. In the study room, the brothers all grew up in the blink of an eye.

The same princesses have also grown up. Princess Chunxi is almost 20 years old. She has not yet married in her boudoir. Waiting for the best chance to get married.

This day's lecture didn't end until the afternoon, Lan Qi didn't ask Huanchun and the others to inquire about the situation in the study room, but before the evening, they brought a lot of things, and the little father-in-law who accompanied him graciously kowtowed to the concubine Defei, saying that the fourth elder brother got it today The first names, these are the emperor's rewards, the fourth elder brother asked them to send them to the Yonghe Palace, and let the concubine de concubine choose some favorites to keep.

Everyone was happy for Lan Qi, although Lan Qi was also happy, but she didn't know what was wrong in her heart, so she chose a few at random and asked them to send them to Chengqian Palace. Nuan Ge greets her mother.

Lan Qi asked a few things about today, the little guy was full of energy and eloquence, he was no longer heartbroken for Empress Xiaoyi, Lan Qi was very relieved, but this child has been studying harder recently, she also cares about it when he is separated by two palaces. No, I just heard from Xiao Hezi from time to time, and the fourth elder brother stayed up half the night to read and write, thinking that he won the first place today, and he didn't get it casually.

It is the best thing for a child to work hard, and Empress Xiaoyi will certainly comfort her if she knows it, but Lan Qi is already a person who has been thoroughly soaked in the sophistication of the harem, and the idea that pops up in her heart is to make a big show.

"Muxiu will be destroyed by forest wind." Lan Qi settled down, now that Empress Xiaoyi is gone, she must bravely protect her son, not always be afraid that he will dislike her, and not be too cautious, At this moment, he seriously warned him, "As a brother, you don't want the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother to surpass you, right? In the same way, what would the elder brother, the prince, and the third elder brother think? Yinzhen, you are not young child."
