Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi got up and led her son to the door, Xuan Ye came in with a whole body of heat, saw mother and son standing together, Shi Thirty-four broke free from the wet nurse's hand and rushed over to act like a baby, he grabbed Thirteen elder brother with one hand, and hugged Shi San with the other. Si elder brother, Xiao Shisan raised her head high and said, "Huang Ama, I will protect Erniang."

A nonsensical sentence, the Ama listened to it but liked it, patted their heads and praised them for being sensible, then let the wet nurse lead them away, and all the way into the room, Lan Qi saw the sweat on the emperor's forehead, so she let Huan Chun sent people to fetch water and towels.But then he told his servants what to do, but he heard the emperor at the table saying in a sullen tone: "Why are your buttons undone and your belt is loose, what is your appearance?"

Lan Qi touched her collar involuntarily, there was nothing wrong with being upright, she suddenly thought of the fourth elder brother, and when she turned around, she saw her son standing in front of his father with his head bowed. And the scattered clothes were scolded.

"Just now I came in covered in hot sweat, and my concubine asked him to untie the heat-dissipating clothes." Lan Qi stepped forward, pulled her son to fasten his belt, and heard Xuan Ye rambling beside him, "If you don't look well, you don't know." Respect, you are the emperor's elder brother. Queens can follow you shirtless. In front of people, even eunuchs and maids, you can't be so casual, let alone your mother in front of me? If so, has I warned you? "

Lan Qi glanced at Xuan Ye, and muttered: "Teach your son as soon as you enter the door?" As she spoke, she pushed Yinzhen away, asking him to go back to Chengqian Palace, but she was called down by her father, and asked in front of the door. : "Could it be that you are not convinced by what I said, relying on your mother?"

"I don't dare, I know I'm wrong." Even so, Yinzhen was really not convinced, and immediately he was slapped on the forehead by his father, and his father said, "I'm really not convinced, just do it." Better, if you do better, you won't hang your head in front of me."

The fourth elder brother raised his head to look at Ama, but he didn't find any frightening anger on his face, instead he became more friendly, and Xuan Ye himself smiled slightly, and said a little softly: "Hurry up!" When you grow up, next time there is a war, if Ama doesn't fight in person, it's all up to you. Don't always rely on your mother-in-law's favor and be edgy like a child."

"Yes!" The young man agreed loudly without hesitation, swept away the depression just now on his face, and said to his father in high spirits, "I wish Huang Ama a successful victory and a triumphant return as soon as possible."

Only then did Lan Qi let out a sigh of relief and smiled, and saw her son salute Xuan Ye, but she completely forgot about her mother-in-law, and ran away cheerfully. Ye laughed and scolded again: "I just said you don't want to be rash, you bastard."

Naturally, she would no longer call Xuan Ye a teacher, but instead blamed Xuan Ye: "The emperor must teach him in front of his concubine, and he will not get close to his concubine from now on."

Xuan Ye said with a smile: "In two years, I will only be close to my daughter-in-law. What else do you have to do? If you have me to coax you, it will be fine."

Lan Qi saw that Xuan Ye was in a good mood, and his words were ambiguous, so she let go of her uneasiness for a while, and wanted to talk to him, but as soon as she sat down, Xuan Ye said: "I will leave tomorrow, I don't know when I will return, I didn't plan to I came to see you, I am afraid that you will be reluctant to see me, and you will feel sad for nothing."

Lan Qi smiled hard: "The concubine is very good, the emperor can rest assured to go out and return triumphantly as soon as possible."

Xuan Ye squeezed her hand and said: "It's inevitable, but I still have something to tell you." Seeing Lan Qi nodding solemnly, he moved a little closer, and couldn't help pecking lightly on his lips, looking Lan Qi's cheeks flushed suddenly, as if she was in her teens, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, and said softly, "You can stay at home and wait for my return, no matter what news comes from ahead, don't panic, war always wins or loses , but I will definitely return with victory, my wife and children are waiting for me at home."

It was obviously a comforting word, a warning to Lan Qi not to panic or fear, her heart was still hanging high, and she was still trembling unsteadily, she thought that she could show some domineering heroism of a female general to make him happy, but She couldn't pretend.At this time, I just fell into Xuan Ye's arms softly and said: "The concubine is incapable of facing thousands of troops, but the concubine can manage the housework for the emperor. No matter when you come back, this home will be stable and comfortable. I don't want you to have any trouble." Half a worry about the future."

Xuan Ye held her in his arms, carefully felt and remembered this tenderness, and said with relief: "With you at home, I will feel at ease wherever I go, but I will also be greedy, and I hope you are by my side all the time."

Lan Qi looked up at him, stretched out her hand and lightly rubbed Xuan Ye's cheek and said: "The emperor is going to fight, thinking about what to do with his concubine? If the empress dowager is here, she must discipline you, just like you taught your son just now .”

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "You should just be proud of your mouth." The two of them entangled together, and then they talked about these innocuous whispers, as if there was no major event about the emperor's upcoming expedition, Xuan Ye didn't mention other things, Lan Qi didn't ask any more questions, the two stayed affectionately for more than an hour, and the emperor was about to leave after all.

Lan Qi knew that the emperor could not be attached to the harem these few days, and although she was reluctant to let go, she calmly sent him to the door with a smile, but when Xuan Ye was about to leave, she worriedly told her: "What I told you earlier, you can still return it." Remember?"

Lan Qi said every word in her heart, and solemnly replied: "I remember."

That night, the emperor only went to the Yonghe Palace, and then went to the Ningshou Palace the next day during the day, and then ordered the harem not to show up on the second day of the first day, so that the three armies gathered at the point of departure in the morning, and the mighty army shook the world. In Jiucheng, the women in the harem, it took several days to forget the mighty sound that resounded through the palace that day.

In a blink of an eye, the emperor had already left Beijing for three days. Any news ahead of him would always be delayed for a few days before reaching the harem. In the past two days, almost nothing came back. However, the fourth elder brother got the news faster than other places because he followed the prince to study in Yuqing Palace. Every day after school, she would come to tell her mother where Ama's team was. Lan Qi always had a smile on her face and was nervous in her heart. If the emperor didn't return triumphantly, her heart would not be stable.

However, I thought that during this period, the concubines would be as honest as before, but something happened on the fourth day after Sheng Jia left.At that time, Lan Qi was talking with the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace, telling her fragmentary news from Yin Zhen's mouth, and the mothers went to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures and pray together. Together with the empress dowager chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall of Ningshou Palace, Ji Xin quietly entered, leaned into Concubine Rong's ear and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in Chuxiu Palace."

Concubine Rong frowned at Ji Xin's long-winded words, and when she signaled her to back down, the Empress Dowager heard the movement, and asked deeply, "What's wrong?"

Concubine Rong said in disbelief: "Ping Guiren was a guest in the Chuxiu Palace, and for some reason he quarreled with Sister Tong Concubine, saying that Sister Tong Concubine was pushed to the ground, and she fell down hard. See, Imperial Physician Xuan said I have been pregnant for three months, luckily the fetus is fine. The concubine will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check her date, but do the math..."

Sure enough, the Queen Mother didn't believe it, neither did Lan Qi and Concubine Duan, but everyone knew another fact. Counting the days when she was still in the garden, she conceived almost on the same day as Zhang promised. At that time, the emperor did often Get close to a few of them.

The queen mother sighed: "It's a good thing, but why did it go to Concubine Tong? Didn't they have turned against each other a long time ago? Concubine Tong is an honest person, don't let her bully you." Then she told Lan Qi and Concubine Rong, "You take care of me. Take care of Concubine Tong, appease that noble lady Ping, don't let her pester and mess around, it's better for her to be peaceful right now."

The two led the order to go out of Ningshou Palace, because Mrs. Ping had been sent back to her courtyard, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong had to go in two places, Concubine Rong knew that Lan Qi hated Mrs Ping, so she took the initiative to say that she went to see the pregnant woman, calling Lan Qi came to Chuxiu Palace to appease Concubine Tong.Lan Qi was grateful to her elder sister for her understanding, and she was not polite, she went straight to Chuxiu Palace, and when she entered, she heard that Concubine Tong had locked herself in the room.

Lan Qi forcibly marched into Concubine Tong's bedroom, leaving all the maids outside, the room was not stuffy, large chunks of ice were melting, and the cost of Chuxiu Palace was considered extravagant, but this was the emperor's intention, There is nothing wrong with others.

"It's too cold in the room. If you hide like this, you will suffer from heat stroke after taking a few steps outside. In the hot weather, you should sweat a lot, so you can go with nature." Lan Qi said with a smile, and sat next to Concubine Tong, nestling in her bed. When the person on the bed saw her tears fell, Lan Qi said distressedly, "Silly sister, why are you crying?"

"Mr. Ping, she cheated on me, Sister De Concubine, she told me plainly that if her child is not good, I won't think about it." Concubine Tong looked at Lan Qi sobbingly and said, " She came here to humiliate her sister without thinking, saying that her sister is the shortest-lived queen in the world, and that she didn't have the precious life to bear the honor, so she died as soon as she became a queen. She said a lot of ugly things, I think I chased her away, but she fell down on purpose and said I pushed it."

The more Lan Qi heard it, the more weird she felt, Tong Pin blamed herself: "It's all my fault, just ignore her, she shouldn't be allowed to enter Chuxiu Palace, I'm too weak and stupid."

"It's not that you are too weak or stupid. Since she intends to blackmail you, if you don't see her today, she will find a way to pester you tomorrow. It seems that she did it on purpose." Lan Qi's eyes were deep, and she thought of Xiao Yu in the past Injured Ping Guiren by mistake, when Xing'er was beaten severely, in order to protect her, Xing'er was almost kicked off the child in her belly by Ping Guiren, after that, Ping Guiren shouldered the responsibility of the little life, if Xing'er made any mistakes at that time, it would be counted On those feet she kicked.In the blink of an eye a few years later, Mrs. Ping unexpectedly found out about this incident and entangled Concubine Tong in exactly the same way. Obviously she relied on Concubine Tong for the safety of the fetus, so no one dared to touch her.

Lan Qi thought about these things all the way, and came all the way to little Hesheli's palace in person. She wanted to warn little Hesheli not to have any ideas about Concubine Tong, but she always felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Seeing the luxurious layout of Mrs. Pinggui's courtyard, she suddenly understood that Mrs. Pinggui insisted on relying on Concubine Tong to be responsible for this child. Could it be that she felt that someone would be unfavorable to her when she was pregnant in October?
