Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The Qing army was defeated again and again, and the emperor fell ill again. On that day, the imperial conquest was held in a grand manner, but the result was such a defeat before confronting the rebels. While the government and the people were panicking, some people in the clan who were active and disobedient to the emperor couldn't help laughing at the current incompetence. Some unpleasant remarks were faintly spread, which made the concubines in the harem even more nervous.

Because the emperor fell ill, an imperial decree came from ahead, ordering the crown prince to go to the palace to visit him. Once the news spread, many concubines wept secretly in the palace pavilion. From their point of view, this is a critical moment. Called, is it possible to explain the funeral?

Moreover, at present, both Prince Yu and Prince Gong hold military power in their hands, but the crown prince has no real power in his hands. If he went to the camp this time, it would be nothing more than to visit the emperor's condition. Going, there is no guarantee that you will not be plotted by others. The two princes hold military power. As long as one of them turns against or colludes with Galdan, the prince may go or never return.As for what form lies ahead, the palace can only listen to the news, and no one knows how accurate the news is.

The prince is about to leave, the queen mother urgently summons everyone from Lan Qi to the Ningshou Palace to discuss matters, and finally discusses a decision to let the third elder brother Yinzhi accompany the prince to go. Although they are all princes who have no power in their hands, but there is one more person. Can be more down-to-earth.Concubine Rong didn't want her parents and children to be in danger at first, but after thinking about it, something serious happened. Their wives are in the palace, and sooner or later they will not get well. Why don't they ask her son to go ahead and have a look. What she hopes most is that the emperor It's just a slight infection, and there won't be any prince defecting.What's more, the decision made by the queen mother cannot be tolerated by her.

The matter of the third elder brother going to the palace with the prince was settled, and the fourth elder brother immediately ran back to find Lan Qi, saying that he would also follow the prince to visit his father. Lan Qi didn't explain anything to him, but said seriously: "If you listen Damn, go back and read your book, and stay in Chengqian Palace, otherwise, we don't need to talk."

The mother was so strong that the fourth elder brother was in awe and did not dare to pester her anymore. The next day, the prince and the third elder brother were sent away. The fourth elder brother stood alone under the city gate. He suddenly realized that he was staying in the palace. the prince.

The elder brother went out with the army before, the second elder brother and the third elder brother went to the palace to visit the sick, the situation outside was chaotic, several older princes left the palace, the remaining princes, the fourth elder brother is the oldest and even the best, here is You can feel it, but you must never say it out of mouth.

The night before the prince's departure, Lan Qi went to Ningshou Palace again after nightfall. The queen mother said to her helplessly: "If anything happens, I'm afraid I won't be as powerful as the empress dowager to turn the tide, but I will try my best to hold on till the end." At the last moment, it can be regarded as an extraordinary thing that I have done in my life."

These were extremely sad and negative words, and no one wanted such a thing to happen. After calming down a bit, the queen mother asked, "Do you want to go to the front line and take care of the emperor?"

At that time Lan Qi was staring at the queen mother, her heart had already flown to Xuan Ye's side, but she promised Xuan Ye that no matter what news came from the front line, she would not panic and lose her footing, she would stay here firmly , waiting for his return.She can do everything she promised Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye will definitely do what he promised and return safely.

Before she could answer, the queen mother said again: "In case there is any danger ahead, we must suppress them here first. To put it in an unlucky word, if something happens to the emperor, something happens to the elder brother and the prince." The thing is, among the princes, only the fourth elder brother can inherit the great lineage, and we have to confirm the throne earlier than them, so as to preserve the emperor's blood inheritance and prevent the villain from succeeding."

Once such words were spoken, it became a big deal. She knelt down and begged the queen mother not to think about it, but the queen mother continued: "So I can't let you go to the front to see the emperor. If something happens, even you will go." Back, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui are still in the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold them down, you have to stay with the fourth elder brother, we mother and son, do everything we can to turn the tide. Back then, the empress was only the Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, you can do it."

At that time, Lan Qi only said: "Queen Mother, I don't want that day, I only hope that the emperor will return safely."

The queen mother sighed: "Why don't I want to, but we must be prepared for the current situation. The empress mother said to me in the past that no matter what happens in the future, I can't mess up the court, mess up the lineage, and let the son inherit the father's business." It is the long-term righteous way, if it is inherited by brothers, we will walk the old way of the Ming Dynasty."

Throughout that night, Lan Qi was thinking about what the queen mother said, but she didn't shed a single tear even though she had recited others. Thinking about the worst thing that might happen, thinking about everything she might have to face, she was born from the bottom of her heart. The strength of her life may be the most powerful belief in her life.No matter what, she must protect Xuan Ye's blood inheritance, even if it is not her fourth elder brother, she will never let the throne fall into the hands of others.

After the crown prince and the third elder brother left the capital, two days passed and the palace was still cloudy. At this moment, it was reported that Da Fujin was pregnant in the elder brother's mansion. It used to be the most happy thing for the royal family, but now no one cares about it. For everyone, there is nothing better than the end of the war and the return of the holy car.

Concubine Hui came out from Ningshou Palace to inform Dafu Jin that she was happy, and then went to Jingyang Palace. After entering the palace, it was quiet. chanting scriptures.Concubine Hui smiled bitterly in her heart. People often entrust their faith to gods and Buddhas when they are most helpless, and she herself is the same. After receiving the news that Da Fujin is pregnant, the first thing she does is to pray to the Buddha, hoping that her daughter-in-law will be happy soon. A fetus can give birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor.

At this moment, I walked slowly to the small Buddhist hall and saw Concubine Rong kneeling in front of the altar. Princess Rong Xian and Wan Chang saw Concubine Hui coming, got up and made way for Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui told Rong Xian: "Go and rest, I will go with you." Your mother-in-law is talking."

Concubine Rong glanced back at her, and waited for her daughter and Wan Changzai to leave before she sighed: "I am used to living a comfortable life, I never thought that today will happen, when the chaos in San Francisco, no matter how the Empress Dowager is here , the emperor is also by my side, now..."

Concubine Hui kowtowed to the Buddha statue, and after offering incense, she sat cross-legged beside Concubine Rong, and said softly, "Isn't there still the Queen Mother?"

Concubine Rong glanced at her: "Queen?"

"Don't look at the empress dowager as warm and weak. This time, I can see that she has a bit of aura. After all, she is someone who has followed the empress dowager for decades." Concubine Hui said coldly, "Look, the emperor just let her The prince went to the front line, but the queen mother sent your third elder brother also, why?"

Concubine Rong also had calculations in her heart, but she didn't want to say it out loud. She turned her face away and didn't look at Concubine Hui again, only listening to her whispering beside her: "If the emperor has something good or bad, and there is turmoil ahead, the empress dowager will issue a decree in the palace to set up four Brother is the new emperor, and the overall situation of the world is settled."

"Sister, you think too much. When you leave the gate of this Buddhist hall, your words are outrageous, but you will be killed." Concubine Rong's eyes were condensed, and her heart had sunk into the abyss. Elder brother is still ahead, you should hope for their well-being, hope that the emperor will return soon, and hope that their brothers will all retreat unscathed, what is the point of saying these words."

Concubine Hui sneered: "Could it be that my sister doesn't think at all that the queen mother insists on asking the third elder brother to accompany the crown prince, so you are really willing to do so? Or is it that the elder sister knows in her heart that even if the third elder brother stays in the palace, she can't compete with the fourth elder brother? Do you feel that you are inferior to the Wu Ya family, or is the third elder brother inferior to the fourth elder brother? Why should all the benefits be left to her?"

"In the eyes of Concubine Hui, what exactly is good?" Lan Qi's voice sounded suddenly, Concubine Hui turned pale with shock, and she and Concubine Rong turned around to look, but seeing Lan Qi standing in front of the door, the two of them spoke too much. Concubine Rong was so involved that she didn't even know when Lan Qi came. Fortunately, what she said to Concubine Hui was worthy of herself and her conscience.

Lan Qi walked in slowly, looked at Concubine Hui seriously, and said, "Sister Hui Concubine thinks too much, thinking hurts her health, sister should take care of her health, we don't dare to plan these unnecessary things."

Concubine Hui said coldly: "You know better than anyone else in your heart, why bother to pretend to be confused, now is the time for something important, don't you have any plans for yourself in your heart?"

"What are you planning?" Lan Qi bowed piously in front of the Buddhist altar, and said slowly after the ceremony, "I just wait for the emperor to return, and don't think about other things at all. Sister Hui, it's best not to think wildly, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth. Darling Elder Brother is still on the front line, don't you want Elder Brother to retreat completely?"

"You nonsense!" Concubine Hui's face was pale, and the panic in her heart could no longer be concealed. Now that Mingzhu is no more powerful than before, she is not a person who has the final say on the front line, and Suo'etu is also at the front, so he will definitely try to protect the crown prince.And because the elder brother is the deputy general following Prince Yu, he is probably not by the emperor's side now. If something happens, his son will be almost isolated, and Prince Yu has always been close to the prince's faction. Her son is in front of Prince Yu. Not a little good.

"There is nothing wrong with the front line. Let's mess up here first. Don't say how chilling the emperor is, isn't sister Hui concubine chilling?" Lan Qi glared at each other. Gong is a human being, and times have changed. They have long been equal, but they never thought that one day they would have today's conversation. In Lan Qi's heart, she didn't feel that she was superior to any of them.

"We depend on the emperor for everything." Lan Qi said resolutely and solemnly, "But if when he returns from victory and sees the harem in disarray, how chilling should he be? Right now, everyone in the clan is watching , even if we are pretending, we must make them dare not use their brains, right? The only thing we can do is to guard this house and wait for the emperor to come back."

With tears in Concubine Hui's eyes, she calmed down and said coldly: "Your son is by your side, of course you are not afraid."
