Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Secret?" Lan Qi approached curiously, and asked with a smile, "What other secrets does Mammy have?"

I don't want Aunt Su Mala to tell her a secret.It turned out that Xuanye had visited Mammy alone before leaving Beijing. He recalled the hard work of being forced to be helpless by Wu Sangui in the fierce battle against San Francisco in the past. The emperor proudly told Mammy that the Qing Dynasty now had more powerful guns and artillery.

This time against Galdan, the imperial court will use the latest forged artillery, but the time is too short to transport it, and they want to hide their strength from the rebels, so Xuan Ye plans to draw Galdan closer and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Naturally, some defeats are inevitable ahead, which is almost the current situation.Because it was a military secret, the emperor could not easily tell others that he only revealed it because he was worried that his mother would be frightened and hurt her body when she was old.

The nanny said firmly: "It is an eternal truth that a proud soldier must be defeated. Galdan has been invincible all the way for several years. If he fights against the Qing army, such a person will become stronger when he encounters a strong one. On the contrary, it will arouse his stronger fighting spirit. , it’s better to satisfy his ambition and lead him closer. Think about it, my lord, Galdan is the hero of the grassland today, he is familiar with everything there, but the further south he goes, the more unfamiliar he becomes. Unfavorable, the emperor will wait for him and give him a head-on blow. Madam, don't worry too much, I believe that in a few days, there will be good news."

Lan Qi was stunned when she heard that, Xuan Ye set out to tell her not to panic no matter what news came from ahead, now she finally understood after listening to Mammy's words.But……

"Nurse, what about the emperor's illness?" Lan Qi was still worried, with unresolved anxiety on her brows, "The emperor's illness may not be fake, why did you even call the prince? Besides, the commander's illness is something that can shake the morale of the army." , Even if it is to confuse Galdan, you can't easily shake the morale of the army."

The nanny nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are understood by servants, but right now you can only think positively, and don't show any timidity, whether you are facing Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, or facing the noble relatives of the clan, Now not only the court is watching the harem from top to bottom, but even the emperor is watching. The empress knows that there are some restless people in the clan who have been instigating the relationship between Prince Yu and Prince Gong and the emperor. Clean up the house. In short, since the empress can't do anything, then wait for the emperor to come back, don't let people take the opportunity to bully you, don't wait for the emperor to come back, but you get hurt. "

"With Mammy's words, I feel at ease." Even though Lan Qi was still uneasy, she didn't want Mammy to worry about her, so she said with a smile, "It's a pity that you never let me come, it's rare to see you now. "

After the serious matter, the two talked about their own things, and because it was late, Lan Qi couldn't stay for a long time, so she called Elder Brother Shi 34 to make out with the nanny for a while, and then led them back.

At this moment, the sky is completely dark and we need to light lanterns when walking, but it is not yet late at night, and the road is not too deserted, and because of the enhanced security, in case the guards will run into the Empress Concubine De, there is an eunuch walking quickly to explore the way, and Lan Qi leads a pair of sons to sit. In the sedan chair, the two little guys were already a little sleepy.

Walking leisurely on the road, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and there were hurried footsteps outside, Lan Qi's heart tightened, and after a while, Huan Chun came to the window and said: "The explorer came back and said that there seems to be something wrong in Mr. Ping's yard ahead. It's a matter, Tong Pin's wife is also there, surrounded by a lot of guards."

"What's the trouble here?" Lan Qi was annoyed, thinking that Ping Guiren was bullying Tong Concubine again, but this time the trouble was going to Ping Guiren's own courtyard, why did Tong Concubine listen to her and come here?Full of doubts, he had to ask Huanchun and the wet nurse to send the children back first, and bring Lvzhu Yukui and a few young eunuchs to Pinggui. When he got closer, he heard the palace maid's sharp cry, faintly shouting: "My lord, save me. This servant did not do anything wrong. This servant was wronged..." Afterwards, he fell silent, as if his mouth had been gagged.

"The concubine de concubine is here." Someone saw a group of people here, and saw who was yelling, and there was a moment of silence inside and outside the door, and everyone gave way to Lan Qi, who supported Luzhu's hand and stepped across the threshold, The bottom of the flowerpot stood firmly on the green brick floor.

I saw a court lady being pinned to the ground, a few powerful eunuchs who looked like the Punishment Department, a man who looked like the head of the guards stood aside with a nervous and angry face, Mrs. Ping stood under the eaves relying on the maid, while Tong The concubine was walking towards Lan Qi at the moment, and said with a blessing in front of her, "Your Majesty is auspicious."

Lan Qi suppressed her anger and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without waiting for Concubine Tong to answer, nobleman Ping immediately yelled: "The concubine De concubine came just in time, and the concubine is about to find someone to decide. When will it be the concubine Tong's turn to take care of the affairs of the palace? What's more, the concubines and concubines are all Under strict control, how could there be a scandalous affair with the guards? Since Concubine Tong has made a fuss in front of the courtiers, the courtiers must find out."

Seeing Mr. Ping showing her teeth and claws, Lan Qi inexplicably felt that this was the right way, this is the posture that little Hesheli should have. It was really strange that she had swallowed her anger to hide her pregnancy before, but now she is so forced to push her His nature was forced out again.

Concubine Tong stood aside, her face was no longer weak and timid as before, she said with a determined expression: "The concubine did not wrong Ping nobleman's maid, her maid was found in an uninhabited palace with guards, she was arrested. Half of the clothes on her body were taken off at that time, and now the concubine sent her here after she was dressed. I wanted to ask Mr. Ping what happened, but they disturbed the empress with their yelling. It’s good that the people from the department take the maid away.”

In the past, it was Ping Guiren who was weird, but now it is Tong Concubine who has changed her appearance. Lan Qi wasted a lot of attention on the erratic Concubine Wen in the past, but in the end, Concubine Wen became what she is now, and these two people are also the same. The queen's own sister, what are they going to do, do they have to go the same way?

"Empress Defei, you can't be biased..."

"Okay." Lan Qi said to Mr. Zhiping that she would help Concubine Tong no matter what, and said coldly, "Even taking off her clothes, what's there to argue about, don't you know what's going on in the court right now? You have caused such a shameless incident, Mr. Ping, if the queen mother accuses you of lax governance, you will also be punished. I will take care of this matter for you in front of the queen mother. Now take good care of your baby and take care of you people, don't make trouble anymore."

Ping Gui was so angry that his face was livid, and he wanted to talk back to Concubine De, but was stopped by the maid beside him. After all, the status was very different, Concubine De really wanted to do something to her, and no one in the palace could say anything to her right now.

"Let's go, send this court lady to the Department of Punishment." Lan Qi ordered everyone, and even warned, "I will let people remember who are here tonight. If there are rumors in the palace tomorrow Rumor has it that there are plenty of places in the Department of Punishment to greet you."

Everyone was intimidated by the concubine De, and there was silence. Lan Qi called on Concubine Tong to leave with her. Concubine Tong hurriedly followed, but she didn't want to go all the way but went to the West Sixth Palace, but passed the gate of Chuxiu Palace But without stopping, she was taken directly to the nearby Xianfu Palace.

Dongyun saw the concubine de concubine coming to Xianfu Palace in the middle of the night, thinking that there was something important to do, and when she heard the concubine asking if the concubine was asleep, Dongyun said helplessly: "These days my temper is not very good, and I would fall if I didn't eat dinner properly." Right now, I'm coaxing my mother to eat something."

Lan Qi looked back at Concubine Tong, and said seriously: "Let's go see the imperial concubine."

Concubine Tong took a step back in a panic, shaking her head again and again: "The concubine is afraid, so I went up, came back and looked at it, my lady..."

Lan Qi took a few steps forward and grabbed Tong Bin's hand, pulling her to go in, but Tong Bin struggled and refused, but at this moment it was the noble concubine who ran out by herself, looking at Lan Qi and the others inexplicably, and seemed to be in a daze. Recognizing it, she immediately ran over with some fear and pulled Dongyun, hiding behind her.

"Empress Defei, I want to go back." Concubine Tong finally showed her usual timidity, struggling to get Lan Qi to let go.

"Dongyun, take your empress back. I'll visit you again in a few days." Lan Qi calmed down and told Dongyun to go back. Dongyun didn't know what was wrong with them, and she didn't want to be troublesome, so she coaxed the noble concubine to go back to the house .

Only then did Lan Qi let go of her hand, because Concubine Wen was gone, and Concubine Tong didn't run away either, she stood still and sobbed, "Ma'am, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to see what she looks like now." Lan Qi sighed, took Concubine Tong's hand again and took her back to Chuxiu Palace, waited for her to wash and wipe off the tears on her face, then sat down under the lamplight and said, "Before Empress Xiaozhao passed away, she told me to take care of her younger sister. However, Concubine Wen Gui has done too many irreparable things in the past ten years. In the end, it became like this. I feel sorry for Empress Xiaozhao in my heart, but after all, this is my Is it wrong? What about you, sister?"

Tong Bin hung her head and said nothing, just shook her head.

Lan Qi said: "Before the empress died, she didn't tell me to protect you or take care of you, but I can't really ignore you, but how long can I care? Your origin is destined to sit in a high position and surpass us in the future. At that time, how can I care about you anymore, but tonight you went to find trouble with nobleman Ping, and you are about to change, do you want to become the second Concubine Wen?"

Concubine Tong choked for a moment, she was not a stupid person, she could understand what Lan Qi said, and said softly: "Your Majesty thinks that I deliberately framed nobleman Ping?"

Lan Qi asked solemnly: "Did the court lady have an affair with the guards, did she really even take off her clothes?"

Tong Pin shook her head: "Not at all, it was the concubine who wronged that court lady."

As soon as Lan Qi's heart sank, she knew that with such a powerful master as Ping Gui, how could the court ladies under him have the courage to do such a thing, but she didn't understand why Tong Bi did this, the only thing she could think of was: "For Did she blackmail you, do you want to get rid of her?"

Tong Pin shook her head, and the tears she just put away rolled down, crying: "Ama asked me to do it, Ama asked me to do it a long time ago, but I never dared to do it, I did it less than..."

Lan Qi was surprised: "Master Tong?"

Tong Pin wept bitterly, and said: "But my uncle is dead, my lady... my uncle died in battle."
