Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Really?" Lan Qi smiled at Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui looked at her in a daze, feeling chills on her back, a fear that came from nowhere, but when Lan Qi opened her mouth to speak, Concubine Rong suddenly intervened Said, "We shouldn't care about these things. Now those wolf-hearted beasts in the clan are waiting to see a joke. I don't know if Galdan really invades, will they be eaten to the bone? Everyone doesn't know how to gloat. What."

Lan Qi's aura softened slightly, the unspoken words were too cruel after all.She prayed devoutly to the Buddha statue, and then said: "The life in the palace is as usual, and the wife is just as normal. Today's words came out of Sister Rong's Buddhist hall, let's forget about it."

Concubine Hui had already got up, she said coldly, "I didn't say anything."

Concubine Rong felt uncomfortable, and signaled her to take a step first, Concubine Hui was also strong and calm. Seeing Concubine Rong let her go, she went down the steps. After hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Lan Qi said to Concubine Rong: "Sister, don't blame me. I overheard it just now, and I didn't want to hear what you said."

Concubine Rong smiled bitterly: "The walls have ears, I am not careful, but those words are nothing to you, it would be bad if you were Concubine Yi."

"Concubine Yi has a simple mind. These days, she has been praying to the emperor in front of the Buddha statue in her room every day, and she is wholeheartedly looking forward to the early return of the emperor. It is a good thing that she left Concubine Hui." Concubine Rong, "Sister, give me a cup of tea."

The two left the small Buddhist hall and set up a tea table under the open window in the inner hall. Princess Rong Xian came to greet her, Lan Qi said a few words to her, and then let the child leave.Concubine Rong looked at her daughter's back with melancholy in her eyes. Lan Qi knew that she was reluctant to let Rong Xian marry far away in the future, but Concubine Rong unexpectedly said: "Yesterday Concubine Xi and Concubine Xi came to talk and threatened me well. Erdan became deadlocked. If he asked for peace, he might choose a princess to marry Galdan. Chunxi is married, and my Rongxian is not engaged yet. If the emperor really sends her to Yelang for marriage, we will Will be heartbroken."

"It's nothing, sister, don't think about it." Lan Qi persuaded, "Although I don't understand government affairs, I also know the emperor's desire to destroy Galdan. There are always winners and losers in wars, and no one knows what will happen until the last moment. So, if the emperor has the intention of asking for peace, why bother to make such a big battle, isn't the emperor afraid of being ridiculed?"

Concubine Rong had tears in her eyes, she really benefited from these words, she grabbed Lan Qi's hand and choked up, saying, "Fortunately, you are sober, Lan Qi, I'm so messed up that I can't do anything well, I just I'm afraid that at the last step, the emperor will send his daughter out to get married, but I only have one daughter, Rong Xian..."

Speaking of later, Concubine Rong couldn't stop crying, she also held on for several days, she was so scared that she didn't know what to do, and yesterday she was frightened by Concubine Xi, she hadn't thought of this, but then What the two of them said was serious, and there was some truth in it, Concubine Rong couldn't hold back anymore, and she spoke her heart to Lan Qi today, her strong defense collapsed, and she became weak and helpless.

Lan Qi wept quietly with her, even Rong Xian was startled, she ran to ask Er Niang what was wrong, she smiled and said: "It's not that I bullied your Er Niang, next time I see Huang Ama, don't file a complaint .”

Rong Xian has a cheerful and optimistic personality. Although he knows that the current situation is uneasy, he has a smile on his face all day long, which makes people like it. At this moment, he doesn't know why his mother is crying. Seeing that the concubine De concubine is still willing to joke, he knows that there is nothing important. The mother said: "Don't cry, mother-in-law, I can still coax you now. I will leave in two years, and you still expect Yinzhi's daughter-in-law to coax you?"

Concubine Rong was so angry that she hit her daughter and said, "I'll forget you if you're so mad."

Coaxed by her daughter and accompanied by Lan Qi, Concubine Rong gradually calmed down, and then sent Rong Xian and the two of them to say a few important words alone. When it came to the matter in the Buddhist hall just now, Concubine Rong asked: "Are you talking to Concubine Hui?" The posture of smiling made me feel cold, I saw Concubine Hui trembling, in all these years, I have never seen her so afraid of anyone, as for the emperor, we can't see it either."

"She has a ghost in her heart, so don't mention it." Lan Qi perfunctory, and then said to Concubine Rong, "It is inevitable that the villain will take advantage of the chaos to do evil, the palace has strengthened the security, and the number of guards patrolling every day has increased by a few more than before. Let’s go out carefully, don’t make jokes, and the princesses have grown up, so you have to take care of them even more.”

Concubine Rong sighed: "It's rare that you are still calm and composed. If you are also in chaos, this harem will really be dismantled. When the emperor comes back, I should give you credit."

Lan Qi smiled and said, "It's better if your wife is mediocre, who cares about such credit."

Besides, Concubine Hui walked back to Changchun Palace in a daze after leaving Jingyang Palace. , I don't know what it's like for my son to be with Prince Yu, Mingzhu is not in the capital, she stays alone in the Forbidden City, unable to do anything.

Thinking about it again, the Wu Ya family, who used to be inferior to him, can now say things that teach her a lesson. Now and then, will she be suppressed by Wu Ya Lanqi from now on?It's really sad.

Back at Changchun Palace, I sat in a dull mood all afternoon, didn't notice when it was sunset or dusk, until a palace maid came in to report, saying that the eighth elder brother had left the study and came to pay his respects to the empress, Concubine Hui suddenly came back to her senses. Thinking of having such an adopted son under my knees.

"Greetings to Er Niang." The child entered the door and saluted respectfully. When he stood up, Concubine Hui suddenly felt that he had grown up.

Yinhu Xuxu is already ten years old. She has been studying quietly in the study these years without making any mistakes. She often allows Concubine Hui to be rewarded by the emperor because of her good homework. Whether my daughter-in-law can give her the eldest grandson, I never really cared about the eighth elder brother, but the child has grown up like this without knowing it, and I can still vividly remember the fact that I tried my best to bring him here. He is ten years old.

"Yinhu, you're tired." Concubine Hui calmed down and let the child sit beside her. She realized the possible consequences of her ignoring the eighth elder brother. She clearly planned to let the eighth elder brother support Yinti's life. , I have forgotten all these years, if I don't win the child's heart now, I don't know what he will look like.The emperor transferred the fourth elder brother to accompany the prince to study. For some reason, she should choose a few brothers among the princes to support the elder brother.

The eighth elder brother is docile and well-behaved, and Concubine Hui agrees to everything she says to him, coaxing Concubine Hui to be very happy, but when he returned to his room, he said to Baoyun: "Er Niang is so strange today, and I don't like you every few days. You can’t talk so much with me, and I’m a little impatient because I talk a lot today.”

Bao Yun said with a smile: "I'm afraid there will be more talk in the future, in four or five years, maybe the eighth elder brother will leave the palace. If the empress Hui doesn't talk to you now, she won't be able to talk about it in the future."

"Maybe." The eighth elder brother didn't care, but said with a little joy, "I also look forward to the day when I leave the palace, and no one will bully you anymore. No matter who I marry as Fujin, I will let you She treats you well."

Baoyun smiled on the face, but knew in her heart that she could not leave the palace with the eighth elder brother, she had to stay in the Changchun Palace all the time, not to mention that the eighth elder brother was so kind to her, going to the mansion was like half a child to Xin Fujin. How can a young woman bear the existence of her mother-in-law? If it affects the harmony between husband and wife, it will be a sin.

These are all things to say later, the outcome of the battle seven hundred miles away is uncertain, the eighth elder brother is lucky, he will be able to leave the palace to open government offices and build a mansion in the future, if he is unlucky, he may ask Galdan to come in, or be rebelled by someone Usurping the throne, everything in the future is gone.

This day and night, the people from elder brother's office came as usual to report the diet and daily life of Madam Su Mala. Hearing that she had coughed a few times today, Lan Qi was not at ease, and dinner was useless, so she took the thirteen elder brother She and Fourteenth Brother came to visit Mammy, Mammy was in good spirits, but her throat was a little itchy, Lan Qi called the imperial doctor to ask what happened, and she was relieved when she knew that there was no serious problem.

Elder Brother Twelve led the two younger brothers to play elsewhere, and Mammy sent someone to take care of them carefully, and Lan Qi smiled and said: "Mammy is so troublesome, I can't bear to let you take care of the children, it's too much effort God."

Mammy smiled: "Brother Twelve is very cute, and the slaves put all their attention on Brother Twelve, and they feel that life is interesting recently."

"What you said, the emperor will be jealous when he hears it." Lan Qi laughed, she had already filled the tobacco in her hand, handed it to the nanny and said, "the emperor gave it to me early in the morning, I'm afraid you smoke too much. Not good, tell me to hide it and wait for the day to send it to you, I heard it was sent from some country in the west, anyway, I don’t understand, mama, try it.”

Aunt Su Mala smiled and said: "The imperial doctor said that slaves are not allowed to smoke. Why do you let slaves smoke now?"

Lan Qi had something on her mind that she couldn't bring herself to say, so she just said, "It's time to enjoy yourself."

Aunt Su Mala only started smoking after the death of the Empress Dowager. She was not addicted to smoking to relieve her worries. Xuan Ye and Lan Qi did not stop her, but instead searched for good shredded tobacco for her. Xuan Ye felt that Mama was old They are also grown up, and they may go with the emperor's grandmother at some point, and let her live comfortably, so as to live up to the entrustment of the emperor's grandmother to them, and to live up to the decades of hard work of the mother.

And Lan Qi doesn't often visit grandma at Elder Brother's place recently. This is what Grandma Su Mala meant, saying that she is just a slave and does not deserve the care of the master. After all, Ningshou Palace still respects the queen mother, regardless of the queen mother. What's on my mind, Mammy can't make a mistake, and also reminded Lan Qi to get closer to the queen mother, so that the queen mother doesn't feel that she is neglected.

Mammy took a few puffs of cigarettes and was very comfortable, but because Lan Qi was by her side, she knew that smoking was not a good thing, so she put it down after two or three puffs, looked up and saw Lan Qi thoughtful, and asked gently: "Is your mother here?" Do you want the emperor?"

Lan Qi nodded with a smile, and said softly, "I hope he will come back soon."

The nanny said: "The current situation is tight, is the empress afraid?"

"Scared." Lan Qi seemed to be confessing for the first time in front of people, but immediately said, "But the emperor promised me that he would definitely come back, and asked me to wait for her at home."

The nanny smiled and nodded, gently beckoning Lan Qi to approach, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has rewarded this servant with such good shredded tobacco, and this servant will tell you a secret?"
