Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"When you come back tomorrow afternoon, I will go to Ningchun Hall early in the morning. Several old Fujin are going to stroll in the garden, and the Queen Mother wants me to accompany you." After Lan Qi said this, she asked Huanchun to send the nobleman Juechan out.

Knowing that the emperor started driving from Qingxi Bookstore, and there was still some time before the door, he called Lvzhu Ziyu and asked them to take away all the valuable utensils in the house. The two laughed while tidying up, Lvzhu couldn't help saying "Madam, aren't you afraid that Long Live Lord will be angry when he sees it? There are a lot of things in the room when he comes during the day."

Lan Qi said disdainfully: "If he says a few words, I will lose a lot of money, but if he throws something again, he will lose all my salary for a year."

Sure enough, when Shengjia arrived at Ruijingxuan again, Xuan Ye frowned as soon as he entered the door. This time he came to live in the garden again, and specially asked someone to decorate Ruijingxuan. When he came during the day, he could still see many exquisite and unique ornaments. When the shelves and desks were all empty, the people in the room greeted them, and he walked around the door without looking at them, and the beautiful porcelain decorations were also gone in the bedroom.

"Knowing that I'm coming, did you do it on purpose?" Xuan Ye sat on the kang, which almost didn't even have a tea set, and he said bitterly, "Who gave you the courage to always bully me like this?"

The court ladies and eunuchs left early, and Lan Qi personally brought a tea tray from outside. The teapot was made of honeysuckle lotus heart wolfberry tea. She slowly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xuan Ye, saying: "The earth dragon is burning in the house, and it is inevitable to feel angry." Wang, this tea is the best, and you won’t be afraid of falling asleep after drinking it.”

Xuan Ye was about to lose his temper when he saw the crimson scars on the back of her hands that had already scabbed over. Lan Qi's hands were always white and tender, and the slightest scars were abrupt, so she couldn't help asking: "How did you do it?"

Lan Qi said indifferently: "The emperor dropped the tea bowl before, and the fragments splashed out and scratched."

Xuan Ye was taken aback, took Lan Qi's hand and gently touched the scar, and asked, "Does it hurt? I'm really out of breath."

Lan Qi smiled softly: "It doesn't hurt. I usually serve a few little guys, and occasionally I get scratched and scratched a few times. It will be fine soon."

But Xuan Ye said heavily: "When I was young, scratching a few times hurt my body, but when I grow up, it hurts my heart, but it won't heal so quickly."

"What about the emperor..." Lan Qi didn't ask, but brought him tea and said, "The emperor calms down."

Xuan Ye drank the tea, heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to lean down, Lan Qi moved a big pillow to put him under his body, he tapped his forehead lightly with the back of his hand, as if he still couldn't get rid of his depression, Lan Qi didn't dare to say more , just knelt quietly to the side.

After a long time, Lan Qi suddenly heard a cooing sound. Seeing Xuan Ye covering her stomach with her hands, she asked in surprise, "The emperor hasn't eaten yet?"

"I didn't have an appetite before." Xuan Ye muttered, but he was still hungry, and he felt it himself.

"The concubine didn't even eat, she just happened to be hungry." Lan Qi finally found something to do, and sent someone to pass on a supper, wondering if Huanchun had prepared for it, she just said she wanted it, and in the blink of an eye, it was delivered to the dining table , I don’t know where to get an exquisite small copper stove hot pot, a plate of fresh shrimps, several vegetables and rice, boiled fresh shrimps and vegetables dipped in sauce, and porridge on the side.

Xuan Ye was hungry, and Lan Qi got an appetite after watching him eat deliciously. The two ate warmly for a long time. The emperor took off his coat because of the heat, but suddenly remembered something, and called Eunuch Liang to ask him where the food was. where.

Not long after, Eunuch Liang came up with the little eunuch, and brought in a huge brocade box. When he opened the box, he found a long-necked bottle with a lustrous and full glaze. Lan Qi saw that it was as blue as the amphora in the morning. It is glazed, but there is a slight difference, but I can't tell.

Xuan Ye said: "This is sky blue glaze, it looks very similar, doesn't it? Putting it together makes it look different. This glaze color is very rare, and you can't get a few a year. They all come up. I only put it in the Qianqing Palace. , this one was supposed to be placed in Qingxi Bookstore."

"The concubine has heard of sky blue glaze, but this is the first time I've seen it." Lan Qi happily touched the bottle, but she was reluctant to take it out to have a look, so she asked Huan Chun to keep it and bring it back to Yonghe Palace later. Don't let the little ones flip out and fall.

Seeing her happy face, Xuan Ye scolded, "You're still so greedy."

Lan Qi disdained: "It also depends on what it is. If the emperor hadn't been guilty of throwing away his concubine's things in the morning, he would not be willing to reward people for such good things. Only valuable things are worth coveting."

"Your house is full of little dolls, so you are not afraid of falling when you run around? I don't leave any good things for you first, but I have to wait for a good time to give you some things." Xuan Ye was not happy, but he Smiling, he brought a bowl of fresh shrimp porridge, and said softly, "After drinking the porridge, my concubine will accompany you for a walk under the eaves, then go to bed early, wake up after eating, and then think about those troublesome things."

Xuanye had already whetted his appetite and didn't refuse. After eating the hot and sweet porridge, his spirits were refreshed, so he wrapped himself in a big cloak and walked outside the house with Lan Qi. It was still cold in the first month of the year, and they came out hot from eating. , but feel refreshed and refreshed.

Standing under a spring plum tree, the buds have only sprouted on the branches, and the flower buds have not yet been seen. Lan Qi asked Xuan Ye how long it would take for it to bloom, but the emperor said: "April and May are almost the same."

"April and May?" Lan Qi smiled, "What are you talking about?"

Sure enough, Xuan Ye didn't hear what Lan Qi asked him, and replied: "After March, the 27-month filial piety period for the emperor's grandmother will be over. You and Concubine Rong will make arrangements with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's time to let Fang Fujin enter the palace. But After all, there is no crown princess yet, so there is no need to be too extravagant, just do the proper etiquette. If a new crown princess is established in the future, then the wedding will be held at that time. It's a later story, in short, let Fang Fujin enter the palace first."

"This is easy to handle, there are rules in the palace and it's not troublesome, but..." Lan Qi said, "Does it mean that this time in April or May, you will return to the palace?"

Xuan Ye shook his head: "Whether you go back or not, let's make arrangements to let Fang Fujin enter the palace."

Seeing Xuan Ye's constant emphasis on this matter, Lan Qi knew that he was upset. The prince was fifteen or sixteen years old. Xuan Ye had a child at this age, and the elder brother got married early. Now the two daughters are under her knees. The concubine is pregnant, but the prince is still alone.But it was not the emperor's fault. At the beginning, the prince was young, but he caught up with the empress dowager's death. This delay lasted for two years, and the emperor could not let him marry a wife and take concubines. It was strange that the emperor was not devoted to the prince, and it was no wonder that Xuan Ye lost his temper when he was depressed, because it was impossible to discuss these matters with anyone, and if he wanted to protect the prince, he could only be bored in his heart.

Xuan Ye never told Lan Qi what was going on with the maid and the prince. No matter how curious Lan Qi was, she did not intend to find out from the emperor. No matter how close they were, they had to keep a little distance and keep some secrets in their hearts. I won't be suspicious and worry about whether the other party is hiding something from me, but if I confess to each other too much, it will have the opposite effect.

It was already late at night when Huanchun hadn't put away the long-necked bottle before waiting for the waiter to fall asleep. It was probably not easy to rummage through the box in front of the emperor. It was still on the long case for a while. After touching it for a long time, the cold and smooth porcelain was wiped in my hands. The weight was just right, and it was truly precious only for top-notch products.

"It's yours, what's there to see?" Xuan Ye suddenly hugged her from behind, Lan Qi's hand was holding on to the long bottleneck, Xuan Ye grabbed her hand and stroked it slowly, He whispered behind his ear, "It's not warm yet, why use jasmine fragrance?"

The hand on the waist was getting stronger and stronger, Xuan Ye had already taken down the bottle with the other hand, and then wrapped his hands around her body, stepping back a little bit, Lan Qi leaned softly on his chest almost completely, feeling He rubbed the tip of his nose against the skin of his neck, and couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, and said softly, "I don't use jasmine fragrance on my body, what is it if you smell it again?"

In the middle of the night, it was windy and snowy outside, but the flowers were fragrant inside the house. Rui Jingxuan only experienced the panic of beating something during the day, and unexpectedly, the emperor would come to change the atmosphere in the yard in person within the next night.The maids and eunuchs who followed Concubine De gradually didn't take these things seriously. They knew that the emperor lost his temper elsewhere, and that was a real loss of temper. In Ruijingxuan and Yonghe Palace, it was just to relax.

The next day Ningchun Hall was going to entertain some old Fujins to visit the garden, but luckily last night a snowstorm blocked the road, the Empress Dowager sent someone early in the morning to tell the old Fujins to come back tomorrow, so that Concubine De didn't have to go there early in the morning and wait for the snow in the garden to be cleared Then she went out again, and said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she would simply gather with the emperor's concubines in Ningchun Hall, and let her and Concubine Rong prepare in advance.

If Lan Qi steals half a day away, lazily nestling under the bright window to bask in the sun, she was completely unaware of the blizzard last night, because she was immersed in the ups and downs of the clouds and rain, greedily releasing all desires, and then fell asleep exhausted and woke up The emperor was gone.

"My servant has sent a message to Jue Chan nobleman. If I have time at noon, I will come over to have lunch with you." At this moment Huanchun brought the maids in to change the incense burner, and when they were ready, Lan Qi pulled Huanchun and said softly, "I was confused last night. Now, help me count the days, when is the next time? I’m really scared in my heart, I don’t dare to do it now, I’m afraid it will really drag me down.”

When Huan Chun cleaned up the bedding for his master this morning, he knew that his master should be worried, now he blushed and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, just let nature take its course, the emperor hasn't come for quite a while."

Lan Qi pushed her, and she still blush even now, but fortunately, she said this to Huan Chun, the master and servant laughed for a while, because the person who was talking back and forth said that Jue Chan was willing to come for lunch, Huan Chun wanted to go to Hao Sheng to prepare For some, the nobles of Jue Chan are beauties who seem to be non-human beings, and the food they eat should be exquisite.

Huanchun left, Lan Qi looked sideways at the list sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pass the time, but in the blink of an eye, Huanchun came back, saying that another accident happened in Wuyi Zhai, and a maid committed suicide by taking poison.

The list in Lan Qi's hand fell, and she stared at Huan Chun in a daze. She managed to make Xuan Ye happy last night, but if this happened again, his heart would be broken.
