Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The Empress Dowager's original intention was not to accuse Da Fujin of being ignorant, but to worry that she was young and the couple had a good relationship, and she was afraid that she would be reluctant to let her elder brother go to war for a while, and if she said something inappropriate, the clan and nobles would laugh at her.At this moment, it was just a reminder to Concubine Hui, but Concubine Hui felt embarrassed, after all everyone knew that her daughter-in-law in Changchun Palace refused to obey her mother-in-law.

"Okay, you all step back, don't cause trouble these few months, I turn a blind eye and close one eye on weekdays, you just treat me as merciful, but the rules of the palace and the family law of the ancestors have never been different. Mercy." The Empress Dowager put down these words majestically, and dismissed the concubines. When Lan Qi was left alone, she smiled wearily, "I used to do these things with the Empress, and I didn't feel tired if I didn't care. Now I know that it is not easy to be the master of the family. Speaking of which, I have never felt the way I am now when I was a queen. If you hate me, I'll be content."

Lan Qi lowered her head and didn't dare to speak too much, she just didn't know what the Queen Mother said about this matter, and she probably felt resentful in her heart after all.

The Empress Dowager talked more and more vigorously, helped Lan Qi's hand to walk towards the inner hall, and said slowly: "I always thought, if Xiaoxian survived and the fourth elder brother grew up, then if the late emperor was still in that year If he dies of a serious illness, he will definitely make a will for the fourth elder brother to take the throne, then the Dong E family is the Queen Mother, and she will be equal to me. With her ability, I have nothing to do in this palace, and I can enjoy life in peace."

Lan Qi listened quietly, helped the Queen Mother to sit down, and went to get a round fan to gently shake to drive away the heat. The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I'm old, I have no blood on my body, and I am not afraid of heat at all."

"You are in good health, but there is too much ice stored in the house." Lan Qi put down her fan, took tea from the maid in front of the door and brought it to her.

The queen mother did not take the tea, but looked at one place with fixed eyes, and said in her mouth: "But Dong E is a good person. Because the late emperor liked her, he couldn't tolerate other people, even me. It was the late emperor's fault, not her. In the 15th year of Shunzhi, the first emperor wanted to abolish me. At that time, the fourth elder brother had just passed away, and the first emperor was in great pain. He attributed all the faults to us and believed that we were cursing Dong E’s behind his back. He almost He made a fuss against the empress dowager mother and son and wanted to abolish me so that his beloved woman could be promoted to the back seat. He rushed to Kunning Palace to accuse me of humiliating me without any reason, I was too scared to say anything, In the end, it was Dong E who chased him to Kunning Palace and begged him not to do this, so he reluctantly gave up. Now that I think about it, the vicious eyes and words of the late emperor, and his tender care for Dong E still make my heart chill."

Lan Qi saw tears welling up in the Empress Dowager's eyes. She did nothing wrong in her life, but she became the biggest mistake in the eyes of others. It was not her fault that Empress Xiaoxian was loved by the late Emperor, but everyone said she was a confidante Disasters, they all accused her of seducing the Lord, and even viciously thought that her short life was due to her own fault and deserved it.

But which woman married into the royal family couldn't help herself? Whose fault is it all?

The queen mother raised her eyes to look at Lan Qi, and said with a smile: "After the Lantern Festival, the emperor brought you to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects. I looked at you in a daze as if seeing Dong E. It's not that you look alike, but The way the emperor looked at you reminded me of deja vu. I thought to myself, they are father and son after all, and they even look at the woman they like in the same way. But after a year and a year, I realized that you are definitely not Dong E, she is not Like you, to meet an emperor who understands how to truly protect the woman he loves, for so many years, it is not so much the empress dowager who protects you, but the emperor protects you after all, right?"

Lan Qi nodded: "The concubine cherishes the blessing."

The queen mother took the tea in her hand, and laughed: "Concubine Rong talked about the new concubine of North Korea that day, let's wait and see if this new concubine who relies on playing tricks can have a good result." What, suddenly raised her head and asked Lan Qi, "What about you, do you want to be a queen?"

Lan Qi was startled, and immediately bent her knees and said: "The empress dowager is joking, how dare the concubine have any unreasonable thoughts, the concubine is already satisfied in this life, but I hope that there will be no merits and faults, and I will die in peace."

Only then did the Queen Mother realize that she had frightened Lan Qi, she put down the tea bowl and pulled her up and said, "Silly boy, did I scare you by saying something casually? Don't mention it, I will never mention it again."

Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said it was okay, but the queen mother said: "Your life must be safe and sound, you have the most wise emperor to protect you and love you, so you are destined not to be ordinary."

Until she left Ningshou Palace, Lan Qi didn't understand the intention of the queen mother's words. Maybe the queen mother didn't have any purpose to say it, but because she was close to herself, she confided when she remembered the past, but these words really messed up Lan Qi's heartstrings made her feel uncomfortable and disturbed, unable to calm down for a long time.

After that day, the six palaces became more harmonious and peaceful, and all the concubines knew that there should be no further disturbances. In this season, the seniors have experienced the long battle of San Francisco. The newcomers only heard about the hard work in the past. Only then did I know how tormented the days under the shadow of war were.Everyone was serious, even afraid of saying something inauspicious. Compared with the day of mourning for the Empress Dowager, they were more restrained and depressed.

In addition, that day the Empress Dowager asked Concubine Hui to call Dafujin into the palace to teach the rules, but as expected, Dafujin still refused to enter the palace because of his illness. There was no one to be seen, only Concubine Hui, the mother-in-law, was ridiculed.In contrast, the crown prince, Fang Fujin, served the Empress Dowager in Ningshou Palace every morning and evening, and coaxed the old man to like it very much. Everyone felt that Concubine Hui really picked the wrong person.

At the end of June, the emperor ordered Fuquan, Prince Yu, as the general of Fuyuan, Yinti, the elder brother, as the entourage of the deputy general, and went out of Gubeikou; Xifengkou; internal ministers Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei, Suo'etu, Mingzhu, Amita, the commanders of Sunu, Lakda, Peng Chun, Axitan, Nuomai, the commanders of the guards Miao Qina and Yang Dai, the commanders of the forwards Bandar Shah and Mai Tuju were military counselors, and they followed Shengjia to command operations at the rear.

When the news spread to the harem, Lan Qi was secretly relieved when she learned that the emperor would not rush forward. She was a little naive and naive and thought that if the emperor went to conquer in person, the emperor would ride his horse and raise his whip to take the lead. She heard that Tsarist Russia supported Gal Dan shotgun, that thing is much more powerful than arrows, her heart has been hanging in her throat ever since Xuan Ye personally told her that she was going to go to war.

At dinner, Lan Qi was coaxing Ten 34 to eat, and the fourth elder brother came to say hello. The summer days are long, and the sun has just set and it is still very hot. Lan Qi said: "Qinglian said that you didn't come back from the study, where did you go?"

The fourth elder brother said excitedly: "Let's go and practice it for the eldest brother. The third brother gave all the treasured swords that Huang Ama gave him to the eldest brother, saying that the eldest brother killed the wolf with his knife that time. Take his knife once and let the big emperor brother kill the enemy."

It is comforting for Lan Qi to see that their brothers can still have such a good relationship. No matter what it will be like in the future, maybe when they think about it, they can still understand the purity of brotherhood to some extent.

"Emiang, can I grow as tall as the eldest brother? Why do I feel that I haven't grown tall in these few years." Yinzhen rubbed his head, and compared with him the thirteenth elder brother, Xiao Shisan looked at his elder brother and said adoringly, "Fourth brother, you are so tall."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Emiang is taller than Concubine Hui, maybe you can look like big brother. When big brother was with you at the moment, he was almost as tall. Why are you so anxious? What about small?"

Yinzhen sat down and smiled and said: "Next year my mother will marry me, why are you still young?"

Lan Qi glared at him: "What are you talking about? The horoscope has not been written yet, it's just my mother's thoughts."

Yinzhen nodded and smiled, his eyes were shining brightly, looking very excited.After all, I am still young, I think my country is prosperous, and I don’t understand how strong and difficult my opponent is. Seeing my brother in high spirits, I feel envious and longing. Even if I calm down, I can understand many things. Can't hide it either.

However, the fourth elder brother's personality is a little calmer. After sitting and chatting with his mother for a long time about the expedition of his father and elder brother, he is no longer as excited as when he entered the door just now. Saying farewell to Concubine Hui, our brothers left the study and ran to Changchun Palace to wait, but when we entered the door, we heard Concubine Hui's angry scolding, which scared the ten brothers."

Lan Qi was surprised: "What's the matter, why did you lose your temper at Big Brother at this time?"

Yinzhen thought for a while and said: "I didn't hear the specific words, but I heard Concubine Hui say, 'Go back and tell her, if you have the ability, don't enter this door for the rest of your life', Er Niang, Concubine Hui is talking about the eldest emperor's wife?"

Lan Qi felt a little embarrassed, and said perfunctorily: "It's not your business, children's family."

But Yinzhen said: "Emiang, don't worry, Yuxi will be very filial to you in the future, she is a very filial person."

Lan Qi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt jealous that her son had been snatched away. Empress Xiaoyi sent her son there by herself. It's the future daughter-in-law, didn't Yuxi snatch it away?Naturally this is a good thing, Lan Qi is very happy, but there is a bit of helplessness mixed in the joy, probably only a mother can understand what it is like.

"You, idiot." Lan Qi patted her son on the head, laughing that he still didn't understand, and suddenly heard some movement outside, the fourth elder brother ran to the door to take a look, then turned around and said, "Er Niang, it's Huang Ama who is here." .”
