Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Zhang promised to run out to see that it was Huanchun, and was very happy, while Huanchun hurried forward to salute with the little maid, saying that he agreed to congratulate her, today is Princess Wen Ke's birthday.Afterwards, the palace maid was left behind to help Xiao Yu light the stove, and she brought the food box into the house, and Lily Lan also came out to welcome her. Seeing her pale face and purple lips, Huan Chun sighed after hearing what happened just now: "We finally found a place The courtyard with the door open was baked in the fire, otherwise the steamed buns would have been frozen after all this time, but unfortunately the buns were cold, after a while they would turn on the stove, and then steam them in a pot over water."

Zhang Yan said gratefully: "Your Majesty actually remembers the princess' birthday."

Huanchun comforted her: "My lady originally wanted to change the princess to be raised by another person, even if she sent her to be taken care of by Auntie Su Mala, but that would make too much noise, and the lady Yifei would definitely make trouble. The emperor likes the little princess, and the concubine Yi did not dare to neglect the princess. Madam, please rest assured, we have sent someone to watch, and the princess cannot be wronged."

Zhang promised repeatedly: "See you today, you are well-raised, go back and tell your mother, I have nothing to worry about."

After talking for a long time, the ginger soup was boiled outside and brought in, and there was no time to make tea for Huanchun, so she drank a bowl of ginger soup together, smiled and said it was nothing, but felt sorry for them here Everything is inconvenient.

After returning to Yonghe Palace, after reporting Yifei and other things to the master, Huanchun said again: "There is no small kitchen there, even if there is an extra empty room, as usual, if you want to use hot water or want to heat up a meal, you must Building a stove in the yard, it takes a long time to get busy, so it's inconvenient. Lily Lan said that she used to be easy to deal with alone, but now she has to take care of Zhang Xu, and always wronged her."

Lan Qi sighed that Concubine Yi did not give up, and at the same time thought about how to move Xing'er out of such a dilapidated place, and even sighed: "There used to be too noble people living there. After all, the nobleman lived his whole life."

Huan Chun thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Why don't you take Zhang Xu to Changchun Garden to live for a while, he is someone who has been there before, the emperor even flipped through the promise sign a few days ago, I am not afraid that there is no reason for him to accompany you, the garden It’s much better than over there, when you come back from the garden, you can find an excuse that you can’t live there, and it will be easier to move to a better place.”

Lan Qi put aside one concern, nodded and said: "This is easy, it's just a matter of one sentence."

But Huanchun also said: "You are always like this. If others treat you well, they will return it very much. Sometimes the servant thinks that you don't need to bother so much. You care too much about other people's eyes."

Lan Qi shook her head and smiled: "I want my conscience to be at ease."

After this matter was settled, Lan Qi looked back and found an opportunity to tell Xuan Ye or even Eunuch Liang, it would not be surprising to bring an extra person to the garden, not to mention Zhang promised to be "driven" to that remote place by Empress Xiaoyi However, the emperor never forgot her. Naturally, the people in the palace became even more jealous and resentful, but the only blame was that they couldn't please the emperor, and they couldn't blame others.

The days have entered the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and it is another year of quiet twelfth lunar month. Lan Qi is happy to be quiet and recuperate, but it is inevitable that some will be sent to usher. When the Yonghe Palace is too busy, the nobleman will come to help take care of elder brother Princess.

Princess Duanjing didn't like to cling to her mother when she grew up, so she didn't come. The nobleman coaxed the little ones to take a nap, and watched Lan Qi deal with the people from the House of Internal Affairs. , Seeing her tired face, she said with a smile: "I saw you dealing with those cunning old things just now, I can't even remember what you were like before, as if you were born so capable and shrewd."

Lan Qi smiled and said, "My sister has never changed."

Bu Guiren stroked his temples and joked cheerfully, "You don't even look old, do you?"

Lan Qi nodded with a smile, but the nobleman blamed: "The children have grown up, and I am over 30." Mentioning this, he said softly, "The emperor came to Zhongcui Palace for an unprecedented time the day before yesterday, and we were all frightened. Lord Long Live talked to Sister Duanpin for a long time in the house, and Mrs. Dai and I guessed that it was for Princess Chunxi. It is not a problem to keep this girl who is about to turn [-]. This is I don't know where I'm going to marry, sister Duan's face has been heavy these two days."

"Would you be willing to let go of a girl who has been raised for more than ten years?" Lan Qi sighed, "Although I would like to stay until the age of 40, but I feel even more sorry for delaying the child's marriage and future. A mother is always in a dilemma."

Bu Guiren smiled contentedly: "I can take Duanjing by my side and watch her grow up. I am already satisfied. I am not afraid of the day when she gets married. I have already thought about it."

Lan Qi praised her: "My sister is still at ease."

But the nobleman looked at Lan Qi meaningfully, and for a long time he looked at Lan Qi strangely, and then suddenly asked: "What about you? What's going on with the fourth elder brother? I know that you are sure of everything in your heart." , but I looked at it very much. Boys are no better than girls. They will hide their thoughts when they get older. You have always been very considerate and tolerant to children. Why don't you coax the fourth elder brother? Why don't you let him come? Greetings to you."

Only then did Lan Qi show a bit of seriousness, not blaming my sister for being troublesome, but said: "Sister also thinks that I should go and coax him? I didn't forbid him to come and say hello to me, but it's just that it's cold and I don't want him to sleep less early in the morning." I just want to see me for an hour, and I am afraid that he will get sick from the cold and heat at night, so I am not considerate enough for him?"

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Bu Gui hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant."

Lan Qi put down the tea bowl, she was obviously angry, and naturally she didn't come to the nobleman Chongbu, she calmed down for a while before saying: "Sister Bu, you are not coaxing Duanjing everywhere, when the girl is disobedient, you and sister Duanbi also Will you teach me a lesson?"

Bu Guiren nodded, and heard Lan Qi continue to say seriously: "I am his mother-in-law, not his wife, let alone his slave. Regarding the relationship between mother and child, but now I suddenly want to understand, he is my son, why should I be so cautious, even a little humble in front of him? I should teach the principles that should be taught in a dignified way, and always look forward to what I do. He hates me because he thinks so, and when I speak to him a little differently than before, he probably feels something is wrong in his heart, and you all come to ask me why I am like this with my son, in fact, he has a problem with me. "

Seeing Lan Qi saying this, the nobleman knew that she had been aggrieved for a long time, so he simply wanted her to let go of her arms and talk about it. Lan Qi also spoke vigorously, and felt a burst of joy. She drank half a bowl of tea and continued: "Wen Xian is not Be obedient, I beat her with my hands, and I would still blush and reprimand him for such a small thing, but to him, I am like offering to the Buddha, what kind of mother and son? If it is destined to be like this, it will not last long, it is better than now As soon as the affection fades away, he will be self-reliant and self-reliant, and I will also be quiet."

"Don't say such things." Bu Guiren was a little anxious.

"It's not that I'm cruel." Lan Qi sighed, "Even if he really doesn't recognize me anymore, I will protect him from being bullied for the rest of my life, but I don't want to work so hard as a mother and son. What does it feel like to be careful when you say a word to your son? After more than ten years, I have had enough."

Bugui still persuaded: "Don't think too smart of a boy in his teens. I know that you are wronged, but when the child can't turn the corner, you should be patient. No one cares about you now. Can you get better if you are so stiff? You have been wronged for more than ten years, and it is not difficult to talk to the fourth elder brother when you are wronged again. "

Lan Qi's face softened a little, her fingers rubbed the pattern on the teacup, and she muttered softly: "I know, I just lost my temper at my sister, and I always understand in my heart that just because I am a mother, I should be wronged." of."

Bu Guiren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, held his heart in front of the door and said: "Just now you said so excitedly, I was frightened."

"What else can I do, he is my son after all." Lan Qi changed her shrewd and capable demeanor when she faced the old and cunning servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now she leaned softly on the table and muttered, as if she had been wronged "I've thought about it a long time ago. If he ignores me again, I'll go find him. He's my son. There are only children who don't want parents, and there are no parents who don't want children."

Bugui said with a sigh of relief: "You are destined to be mother and son, and you have the same temper. Fortunately, you still understand that you are a mother."

The two sisters talked about themselves, and Lan Qi felt much happier, but in the next few days, Qing Lian came to report to the fourth elder brother every day, and the child was still preoccupied, and he didn't know what he was worrying about. Lan Qi was very worried about the news, and couldn't find a good opportunity to talk to her son, the more worried she became, the more anxious she became.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Yuan promised to give birth to a little princess, and the mother and daughter were safe. Finally, there was a happy event in the palace. On Laba day, the queen mother enjoyed Laba porridge in Ningshou Palace. Although it was not an extravagant celebration, the palace was finally lively. It means that the elder who still serves the queen mother is in the palace, and he should not be too sad for the deceased and forget his filial piety to the queen mother, so that the people in the palace can be more open, but everyone understands the measure.

Brothers also left school an hour earlier today, and went to Ningshou Palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother to receive the reward. The brothers had to go back after eating porridge. The fourth elder brother walked back to Chengqian Palace with Xiao Hezi and passed the gate of Yonghe Palace. Before, he stopped for a while, Xiao Hezi smiled and said, "Master, shall we go in?"

Yinzhen shook his head: "Didn't the emperor's grandmother just say that many aunts and aunts are in Yonghe Palace, what should I do? It's really troublesome." After he said that, he went to Chengqian Palace, and Xiaohezi followed helplessly, babbling for a long time to persuade He went to ask for peace, but was scolded impatiently by the little master, and he covered his mouth and dared not speak again.

Entering the gate of Chengqian Palace, the sudden desertion made Yinzhen's heart tremble. After the death of his adoptive mother, the manpower in Chengqian Palace has been reduced a lot. In addition, he is still keeping filial piety for his adoptive mother, and the eunuchs and maids even speak in a low voice. , let alone laughter.

"Fourth brother, are you back?"

Just as he was going to the door, he suddenly heard a clear and gentle girl's voice, such a familiar "fourth elder brother". There are many hazes in the Qian Palace.
