Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Although Huanchun pushed Yukui to signal her not to talk nonsense, but she couldn't help but said: "Actually, the empress doesn't care about this matter, anyway, no one knows, anyway, it doesn't matter if Wang Changzai gives birth or not, Long Live God doesn't matter." Missing the elder brother princess."

Lan Qi laughed: "It doesn't matter whether she is born or not. Isn't it pitiful to deprive her of the right to be a mother? She is a Han woman, and everyone in the palace knows that giving birth to a princess is different from other brothers and sisters. No matter what they have less qualifications to fight for, on the contrary, these children can live the simplest life."

Yukui frowned and asked: "Why are you being kind? You are kind. People don't necessarily appreciate it. If you offend some of them and get revenge, that would be bad."

Lan Qi said: "That's all I'm thinking about. Right now, I can't tell the truth from the fake. I can't tell who is harming her like this behind the scenes. If I act rashly, it's not good if things get into trouble. Originally, whether she was born or not It doesn't matter." She sighed softly, "Probably looking at her and thinking of myself."

Yukui went to pour out all the tea and clean it up, Huanchun waited for the master to lie down, and said curiously: "You are not the same as Wang Changzai."

Lan Qi shook her head: "It's not the same, it's that my life is better than any of them. Ever since I was a regular, I've been hiding under the shade of the Compassionate Ning Palace. The empress dowager protects me, I don't know what people have planned for me for a long time."

Huan Chun asked, "That's why you feel sorry for Wang Changzai?"

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "I think they are all pitiful."

From the time when she was a court lady, Bu Guiren and Pan Xia always said that she had a Buddha-like heart, and later she was said by the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su Mala that she was soft-hearted and soft-hearted, but it fell into Xuan Ye's mouth that she was the one who cared too much. Worrying about other things, Lan Qi also understands the weakness of her character. She has tried to avoid it in the past two years, but everyone and everything are in their eyes, and it is inevitable that she will feel pity. What's more, she has more things to consider now. Bigger and more profound.

On this day, Huanchun heard the master muttering from time to time: "What if the emperor wants her to have a baby?" Naturally, the words are reversed, "What if Xuan Ye doesn't want her to have a baby?"

In the evening of that day, the crown prince, Fujin, thanked all the ladies for leading her around the garden, and personally steamed dim sum and delivered them to each courtyard in the afternoon. Everyone praised Fujin for his ingenuity, and Fujin gradually emerged in the royal family.

In the days after that, after the crown prince Ce Fujin entered the door, everyone noticed that the prince had changed a little. The always silent and gentle boy had more smiles on his face than before. , it is easier to get close to than before, and the side Fujin can speak eloquently, which makes the Queen Mother like it very much.

Among the brothers, the fourth elder brother went to Wuyi Zhai to study every day, because he was still a half-old child, and he didn't have too many taboos for a while, and when they were studying, Ci Fujin would either stay behind closed doors, or come to Ningchun Hall to accompany the Queen Mother , or go to other places to talk to the princesses, and have a good time among brothers and sisters-in-law. In just half a month, everyone from top to bottom has already liked her. Even the emperor praised this daughter-in-law in front of the queen mother.

In contrast, eldest brother Fujin's concubine is not so pleasing, people always like to compare everything, and now the emperor's daughter-in-law is also compared, and eldest brother Fujin has been compared.But Da Fujin is an upright and upright wife, and the crown prince's side Fujin is just a concubine, so it would be shameless to be compared like this.

Concubine Hui lives alone in the deep palace, and hearing these gossips from two places apart, she feels very aggrieved and unable to relax.

Now that Yanzhu was killed by the emperor, Mingzhu understood that the emperor knew about the wolf release, even if he had a plan, he couldn't be in a hurry. No one was arranged to help Concubine Hui for a while, so Changchun Palace randomly appointed a senior elder The maid is in charge of things, and as far as Concubine Hui herself is concerned, she has no confidant to rely on, and her daily life seems to be drifting and unsteady.

At the beginning of May, the emperor took his prince and side Fujin to pay homage to Empress Hesheli. They were away in the garden for two days. As the weather got hotter, few people came out to shake in the garden. Finally, it became quiet again, but everyone knew that he would return to the palace to prepare for the princess. wedding.

Concubine Rong asked for an order for Concubine Duan, and their mother and daughter will go back early, although it will not be a few days earlier, but they can prepare more important things, this is the emperor's first time marrying a daughter, and the Horqin tribe has not married for many years, it is considered The above is a common event in the harem and the court, and no one dares to say it, but it is indeed much more important than the entrance of the crown prince in April.

The next day Concubine Duan and Concubine Duan and their daughter had to go back first, so Lan Qi came over to see if they were short of anything, and when they entered the door, they heard the laughter of Concubine Rong, Concubine Duan and Lady Bu, and slowly walked into the room and asked: "Sister What are you laughing at, so happy?"

Lady Bu came up to support her and asked her to move the beauty couch for her to lie on. Concubine Rong laughed and said, "Look at her nobleness now, we are all sitting, she swaggered and lay down."

Lan Qi ignored it, and said solemnly: "Sister, don't be frivolous. Don't you complain about your back hurting when it rains? Me too. I don't know how important my waist is when it doesn't hurt. Now I have to take good care of her."

Asked what they were laughing at, Mrs. Bugui said softly, "It's about you."

Lan Qi was surprised: "What are you talking about?"

It used to be that the sisters had nothing to do, and the parents were talking about women's gossip. Now the elder brother Fujin and the prince's side Fujin are very different. The other elder brothers' Fujin is still there, but the fourth elder brother's Fujin must be Ula Miss Nala's family, that child's lovable appearance is a sign, she will definitely be more lovable than Fang Fujin when she enters the door in the future, and it will be lively in the future.

Later, I don’t know how to talk about Lan Qi, saying that she is obviously low-key everywhere, but she always has some things that make people envious or even jealous. There were very few gossips, they thought about why, and counted with their fingers, it turned out that Lan Qi had never been involved in many important matters.

Although she was canonized as a concubine alone in the past, she didn't make it very grand because of the weak body of the sixth elder brother. Later, she was canonized together with the fourth concubine, and she was raised in the house with the child and did not participate in the big ceremony. In the future, the most important thing is to be too At the empress dowager's funeral, Lan Qi was still struggling with life and death with her child in her arms, and it was even more impossible to show her face in front of people. She was not there for the few chances that the ministers had to take a good look at the posture of the concubine De.

It's no wonder that the ministers know very little about the concubine De, a concubine who never shows her face in important ceremonies, doesn't seem to be as arrogant and arrogant as the rumors say, and the Yonghe Palace has always kept a low profile, except for the trouble of coming to the door , There has never been anything out of the ordinary, and it is difficult to arrange some "names" for her.

Lan Qi listened, and said with a leisurely smile: "It will be difficult in the future. Now my sister and I are in charge of the affairs of the palace together. As far as the House of Internal Affairs is concerned, there are a lot of gossips going out."

Concubine Rong said: "We are clean and watertight, what are they spreading nonsense? It happens that Concubine Yi made absurd disturbances in those days, it seems that we are more cautious."

While talking, Princess Chunxi came back from the Ningchun Hall to greet her. She and Concubine Duan will return to the palace early tomorrow morning. She does not have much sadness about getting married, and has her own vision for the future. Now that she has met her mother and concubine, she said : "The Empress Dowager invited a lot of Mrs. Fujin into the garden. I asked if I would like to invite Er Niang and other empresses to come over. The Empress Dowager said no, so they came to say hello. If they don't visit the garden, they will leave."

Concubine Rong was not at ease, she always felt that it would be better for the Empress Dowager to be more considerate to the affairs in front of her. She came over with Lan Qi to take a look at the scene, but before she got close to the Changchun Garden, she had already retreated one after another. Following the young girl, Concubine Rong was stunned, and asked Lan Qi: "Do you know?"

Lan Qi had a clue in her heart, but she never heard anyone say it clearly, so she shook her head: "It's the same as my sister, I just saw it."

When she got to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager did not hide, and said to Concubine Rong: "Let me see if these girls are doing well, the third elder brother has grown up too, and Rongxian girl is about to get married. After becoming a concubine, It's your turn."

Concubine Rong was unprepared for the sudden arrival, although she knew that the day was approaching, but taking care of the prince and eldest princess' affairs, she always felt that it would be Jingyang Palace's turn for two years, but she never thought it would be so soon.

After leaving the Ningchun Hall with a smile on her face, Concubine Rong collapsed.Lan Qi didn't want to say much, after separating from her, she returned to Ruijingxuan, and stayed alone for a long time, until she was persuaded by Huan Chun not to sit for a long time, so she lay down and talked to her.

Huan Chun didn't understand why Concubine Rong reacted so badly, Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "Once the children leave, she will be really alone in Jingyang Palace, the emperor dotes on the newcomers and won't think of them, although I don't know when I will end up too Such a situation, but just thinking about it, I know how lonely and unbearable those days are. Now there are so many little babies making a fuss in front of me. Even if the emperor doesn’t come, I don’t have time to be jealous. The trifles are urgent and slow, and once you stop, you will only be left with random thoughts."

This is the sorrow of a woman in the deep palace. Without the care of her husband, the child is the greatest comfort. Even if the child will be separated one day, at least there will be more than ten years of family happiness.Concubine Rong is different from Concubine Duan. Even if she doesn't compete for favor, she has been working hard to gain a foothold in the harem. Children and rights are the capital of her foothold. Now the children are leaving, maybe she will hand them over in the future The right, as if waiting for her future, is nothing.

Huanchun knew her master well, and after hearing what she said, she understood what she was worrying about. This day, she came to the front with a paper bag in her hand, opened up a pleasant scent of burnt fragrance, and said with a smile: "The weather It’s hot, and the new barley tea is here, and there are masters who like to use it in the palace, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared it, but it’s just that we don’t want it so we won’t bring it, and the slaves are going to ask for these for you.”

"Give it to me?" Lan Qi was surprised, but she quickly agreed, and asked with a smile, "Shall I give it to Wang Changzai?"

Huan Chun said with a smile: "I think, instead of being explicit, it's better for Wang Changzai to change the tea without knowing it. One thing more is worse than one thing less."
