Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Yinzhen saw a string of ebony rosary beads on the kang table, he would not recognize ordinary beads, this string of ebony rosary beads, every three beads were separated by a bright red coral stone, after seeing it in the study, he had an impression, and knew that it must be the mother's rosary. Leave what you like among the pile of rewards.

He raised his finger to the string of beads and said: "I got these after three nights of staying up. Huang Ama said that I would ask homework today, so I decided to get the first name. I will go to sacrifice to the emperor's mother in the future. That's fine." Tell her, Er Niang, I stayed up for three nights, and the reward I got for my own hard work, why didn't it work?"

He looked at his mother blankly, and clearly remembered the last words of his adoptive mother on her deathbed. He didn't know whether he wanted to be emperor, but he must strive for success.

Seeing him like this, Lan Qi understood that she was in a hurry. She shouldn't have said these words when he was the proudest and proudest, and she shouldn't have poured cold water on him when he had worked so hard to earn his first name, but there was still something worse than that. Is this a better chance?If you don’t talk about it today, what opportunity will you have to wait for in the future? You may not wait until the fourth elder brother is spotted by those old foxes. Now that he has lost his queen, those people are breathing a sigh of relief.

"Have you forgotten Yin Zuo's death?" Lan Qi calmed down, said the most cruel words, evoked the child's heart-piercing pain, and solemnly said word by word: "Who should have eaten those poisons?" ? The matter in the study, if you really want to compete for the top spot, can you compete?"

"Sixth brother?" Fourth elder brother said in a daze, obviously frightened.

In the past ten years, although the imperial concubine has devoted herself to teaching and caring for her adopted son, everything is still based on her doting. The fourth elder brother seems to be serious on weekdays. Not so much.The imperial concubine's comprehensive care for him made him lose a lot of understanding of the people and things around him.In contrast, the seventh elder brother who grew up in the elder brother's institute, and the eighth elder brother who was raised in the concubine Hui's palace, are more "mature" and more sophisticated than their elder brothers.

The mother and son could not say that they broke up unhappy, but when the fourth elder brother left, his face was tense, and when he returned to Chengqian Palace, Qinglian and Xiaohezi asked him what was wrong, but they didn't speak. After dinner, they sat alone in the queen's former bedroom I was in a daze, and the people who served below were all stunned.

Naturally, these things will be passed on to Empress Defei, Qinglian came in person, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it is better to bring back the fourth elder brother, the fourth elder brother is alone in Chengqian Palace, and the servants are afraid that there will be times when they will not take good care of you." , it would be bad if something goes wrong.”

Lan Qi's heart sank, she was indeed afraid of having a separation with her son from now on, between people, sometimes quarreling and shouting or even fighting may not be able to tear apart the relationship, but often the relationship is broken because of a calm or inadvertent sentence, In retrospect, no one knew who was wrong, so they went further and further in the opposite direction.

"Niang Niang?" Seeing Concubine De in a daze, Qing Lian gently reminded her, but Huan Chun waved her hand at her, Qing Lian didn't dare to ask any more.

But Lan Qi had already turned back to her thoughts, and after thinking for a while, she said: "The emperor's intention is to let the fourth elder brother live in Chengqian Palace for 27 months to be a filial piety for the queen. He is also willing, since it is the emperor and the fourth elder brother himself Meaning, it’s inconvenient for me to intervene. It’s just two doors away, nothing will happen, you can take care of Si elder brother’s daily life at ease, and it’s normal for him to have headaches and brain fever if he eats grains, and I won’t blame you.”

Seeing Huanchun's expression just now, Qinglian knew that this matter was not that simple, she quickly knelt down and agreed to leave, Huanchun sent her out, the two walked side by side, and said softly: "Maybe both mother and son have something on their minds, and they gave birth to something. If you have a temper, if you don’t understand it yourself, it’s useless for others to say anything, just take good care of Si elder brother, as before, don’t be too nervous.”

But Qinglian sighed: "I thought I could be the same as before, but I don't know what I'm afraid of. These days are even more strange. I wake up at night when I hear the slightest movement. I'm afraid that someone will come and hurt the fourth elder brother."

Huan Chun said with a smile: "If I'm in a broken state, how can I take care of the fourth elder brother? Since my sister is determined to fulfill the queen's last wish and take good care of the fourth elder brother, I must first be strong."

The two of them went out while talking, Huan Chun simply followed them around, and saw the fourth elder brother sitting in a daze in the queen's bedroom, and felt very bored, and she didn't dare to tell the master when she came back, she didn't understand, why? It was fine in the afternoon, and suddenly it was like this.

For the next two days, the fourth elder brother still came to visit in the morning and evening, but Concubine De quickly used the excuse of the cold weather and her recovery from illness, so that the fourth elder brother did not have to go to pay his respects in the morning, and after that, gradually in the evening. It's too late. At first, Concubine De was not in Yonghe Palace when she went out for a few days, or other concubines came to meet and chat. Afterwards, Concubine De seemed to want the child not to go every day, saying that she would not stay in Yonghe Palace for a long time. If you want to warm up, you have to go back to study, and when you go in and out, it is cold and hot, and you will easily get sick.

By the end of November, the fourth elder brother almost stopped going to the Yonghe Palace, and the people in the palace who had been looking at the mother and son for several months seized the opportunity to spread the word that the concubine De was at odds with the fourth elder brother, mother and son.

When Empress Daxing was dying, Xuanye listened to Concubine Yi's teasing words in Chengqian Palace, letting him know how hurtful such things are. Reluctant to let Lan Qi be criticized like this, he angrily sent Eunuch Liang to thoroughly investigate who was spreading the rumors, and the Punishment Department followed up with cleaning up a few court ladies and eunuchs. The gust of wind was suppressed temporarily.

Xuan Ye came to Yonghe Palace a few times, Lan Qi was as gentle and calm as always, and she seemed to be all right, but he was not at ease after all, thinking that if he questioned the fourth elder brother, that kid was very sensitive, he would not show it in front of others, but he was very proud in his bones , Maybe the relationship between mother and child is not resolved, and the relationship between father and son is also stiff. After thinking about it calmly for a few days, I still can't help but come to Yonghe Palace to ask Lan Qi.

Lan Qi heard Xuan Ye's words, she shook her head nonchalantly and said: "During the last days of the empress, the concubine wanted to understand that there must be such a period between our mother and son. In the past ten years, the concubine only occasionally did things to the fourth elder brother. Concerned about things, the mother of the mother doesn't understand her son, and the son doesn't understand the mother's mind. After the empress's death, we suddenly became very close. Isn't it strange for the people in the palace? In fact, the concubines themselves are also uneasy, and only when there are conflicts can we communicate , to know what each other thinks, the empress dowager said to her concubine that the greatest tragedy is to respect each other as guests between husband and wife, and I think it should be the same between mother and child."

Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Lan Qi would not know how to face these things, so he pretended not to care in front of him, even the expression on his face relaxed now, and he lazily tilted his body, asking Lan Qi to give it to him. He rubbed his lower back.

Lan Qi said impatiently: "The people in the palace who want to rub your waist and back have all lined up at the Meridian Gate, so they have to come here to bother your concubines to do this strenuous work. A few little ancestors pester you every day to hug you, Even the concubines can't lift their arms."

Xuan Ye heard that he turned over immediately, wanted to pinch her arm, but was pushed to lie down again, and said coquettishly, "Who cares?"

"Then you hug me too?" Xuan Ye turned his face and smiled narrowly. Lan Qi rubbed his arm vigorously, and said as if losing his temper, "You will bully people."

Xuan Ye laughed loudly, and reproached him: "Nonsense, you are not afraid of twisting my arm, that would be a crime of beheading." But the person behind said proudly: "I am not stupid, I have enough in my hands to measure."

In fact, the emperor didn't intend to bother Lan Qi to do this kind of physical work. Lan Qi's kung fu is definitely not as good as that of the masseurs in the imperial hospital, but he just likes rubbing his hands on his body. The strength is neither light nor heavy. How many sore muscles and bones can be relieved, even if she is by her side, she will relax and feel drowsy by herself, and often can sleep steadily for half an hour, very relieved of fatigue.

Sure enough, he soon fell asleep, but soon woke up again in shock. Lan Qi was serving tea at the side, Xuan Ye sat up in a daze, and a cup of refreshing fragrant tea was in front of him. The strong tea tasted bitter and sweet aftertaste. Vibration, he looked much better than when he entered the door.

Lan Qi had already taken his robe and stood aside, said with a smile: "Eunuch Liang said there are still a few ministers waiting to see, the time is almost here, the sky is getting dark now, the emperor will go back to Qianqing Palace earlier."

He got up with his shoes on, Lan Qi put on the robe for him, Huan Chun came in to serve the shoes and socks, and quickly tidied them up neatly, and then went to the outer hall, Eunuch Liang brought a cloak, Lan Qi put it on for him personally, stretched out her hand to tie it When taking the belt, Xuan Ye said: "I want to move to live in the garden in the first month of the lunar year, and the emperor's mother will go too, and you will go too."

Lan Qi raised her head and glanced at him, smoothing the wind of the neckline of her cloak, and said nonchalantly: "There are so many things in the palace, I can't let them go, you take Wang Chang with them, and the concubines follow, they are not happy. Now I don't know What's the matter, since the last time the concubines were punished for agreeing to kneel on the long street to feed the mosquitoes, they are all afraid of the Yonghe Palace."

Xuan Ye smiled: "Do you think you are Aunt Tiger?" Lan Qi pushed her lightly, but squeezed her hand and said, "Go together, don't care what they think, what matters is whether you are happy or not. Living in Ruijingxuan, I have already sent someone to clean it up."

"Yes." Lan Qi finally agreed, she meant to wait for Xuan Ye, she happily followed the emperor if she wanted her to go, and she would not force her if he didn't want her to go.

Shengjia left Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi asked Huanchun to send someone to ventilate the room, she stood in front of the door holding a hand stove, Huanchun took a cotton coat to put on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Look, long live Grandpa still can't let you go."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "You've hit the mark, what do you want, your master will reward you generously today?"

"What do you still need, slave, if you really ask what you want, slave wants to see you and Si elder brother as close as before." Huanchun finally said it, and since he said it, he wanted to say it happily, "I am afraid of you and Si elder brother If the elder brother continues to divide his life, he will really exhaust his affection, and the fourth elder brother has lost his empress, and now is not the most distressing time, how can you leave him alone in Chengqian Palace?"

Lan Qi shook her head: "It was because the empress loved him so much that he needed more care than others. I couldn't hold him in my arms and hide him forever. The sooner he understands the helplessness of this world, the better. What can I get in exchange for my intimacy? He is no longer a child, I should teach him how to stand in the world, instead of coaxing him like ten 34."
