Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The chin was gently pinched, and Xuan Ye's fingers were slowly stroking her skin. His expression did not change at all. Under the powerful momentum, Lan Qi was so suppressed that she could not speak a word.

But Xuanye asked again: "Why don't you talk? I ask you, what is that road, can you walk by yourself?"

"The concubine doesn't know..."

"do not know?"

The severe questioning made Lan Qi tremble all over, and her chin was squeezed even harder. Although it didn't hurt, it made her feel uncomfortable and felt a little humiliated for no reason. A courtier can walk, but a courtier can't."

The aura around Xuan Ye's body gradually subsided, and after these words, she let go of her hand, Lan Qi quickly lowered her head, stretched out her hand to stroke her chin, and said nothing.

"Does it hurt you?" Xuan Ye asked.

"No."

"Let me take a look." Xuan Ye stretched out his hand, but the person in front of him obviously trembled all over, and even more involuntarily stepped back a little, as if he didn't want him to touch her, he simply took two steps back and looked at Lan Qi Said, "Now I am angry, you have done something wrong, and you still have the right to make trouble?"

Lan Qi turned her face away and didn't look at him. I don't know if it's because of the friendship of more than ten years that made her confident, or because she felt that she was right and didn't want to be subdued. Too much to say.

But Xuan Ye said slowly: "Those words that Concubine Tong can say to me, maybe she can tell someone else when she turns around. It's not that I don't believe her, but that I don't have the courage to believe anyone. What I worry about is Your good intentions are taken advantage of by others, even if Concubine Tong's mind is not strong enough to be afraid, I don't want you to suffer any harm. When I was conferred the title of Empress last year, I heard Concubine Yi say what you said in Chengqian Palace, so I knew the harm caused by gossip No matter how old you are, you have endured it silently for so many years, and I didn't take it seriously for so many years, but I couldn't take it with just one sentence that day."

Lan Qi finally raised her head, she was a little confused about what the emperor meant, she felt that Xuan Ye was questioning her own arrogance, but that didn't seem to be the case at all.

Xuan Ye continued: "I understand what that road is, and you understand it too. Let me ask you, when you said it, it was almost unintentional, but when you look back, are you a little bit nervous, worried that what you said What should I say?"

Although she was not convinced, Lan Qi was indeed hit, she nodded her head, lowered her eyes in shame, Xuan Ye approached, the robe was right in front of her eyes, the voice came from her head, much gentler than before: "Cause comes out of four words, how do you write them?"

Lan Qi muttered: "The concubine can write."

"What about unintentional loss?"

"Yes, yes."

Xuan Ye sighed: "What's the use? You will still make the same mistakes when you encounter something in the future. You are smart and know how to hide your wisdom, but you are also stupid. You always show your kindness inadvertently." Wisdom. I said, those concubines who are left behind and can’t be taken care of will be handed over to you to clean up, just let you give them a bite to eat and stabilize their lives, but what path they want to take, what future they want, has nothing to do with you ?”

Lan Qi suddenly raised her head and said, "But Sister Tongpin..."

"Shut up!" Xuan Ye scolded, Lan Qi puffed her cheeks, her eyes were full of joy, she didn't know whether it was fear or shame, she really stopped talking.

But Xuan Ye was not angry, as if he was trying to scare her deliberately, and he also knew that, to put it bluntly, he couldn't scare this seemingly smart and strong person, but in fact he still had the little Chang in his mind in his bones.

"Stop preaching to others casually, stop trying to bring someone back to the right path, don't say that there are so many people in the world that you can't manage, just want to take care of the few in front of you. Tell me, The people in front of you are changing and increasing year by year, when will you take care of them?" Xuan Ye said seriously, "How capable and great are you, to act as someone else's Savior?"

Lan Qi pursed her lips and couldn't say a word, but Xuan Ye's tone and demeanor really didn't prove that he was angry at all, on the contrary, it was full of his worries about himself.

"Did you hear that?" Xuan Ye asked sharply, his voice was a little louder, I am afraid that people outside could hear it, Lan Qi quickly knelt up straight to be as tall as him, pulled him and said, "I know, I know, Your Majesty Keep your voice down, the outside can hear you, the kids, the kids have grown up, save some face for your concubine."

But after saying this, she was slapped heavily on the buttocks. She was terrified and painful, and her face flushed even more. She wanted to shrink back to avoid being beaten again, but was pulled by her side and tightened her grip. Xuan Ye didn't With the slightest intention of joking, he said seriously: "Remember the pain, remember what I said, and there will be no next time. I didn't play tricks with you."

Lan Qi was completely subdued, she nodded in agreement trembling in her heart, and then leaned on his shoulder, her back was gently stroked, Xuan Ye's voice was much gentler: "Next time Lan Ying enters the palace, brother-in-law has something to teach her, How can such a smart person become as stupid as her sister? A small incident is known all over the city. You two sisters are really not afraid to lose face. I have always thought that Ah Ling is cunning, but I didn't expect to be so fearful of guilt. Big man, what are you doing?"

Lan Qi remained silent, Xuan Ye continued: "This imperial conquest has exposed many hidden dangers in the royal family, and I really need to deal with them one by one. There will inevitably be many favors involved. When the time comes, your The Yonghe Palace will also be lively, I don't want to teach you how to do it at that time, I have said everything that should be said today, if you do stupid things with good intentions at that time, I will not forgive you."

Lan Qi whimpered: "That concubine ignores them and doesn't interact with them."

But Xuan Ye said: "How can I ignore it? Now in the harem, how many people can represent what I want to face these people's sophistication?" He let go of his arms, pointed to the few books on the table, and said slowly: "It will be burned for a while. I will pretend that nothing happened. I will not hold them accountable and punish them. Although they are coerced by others to do such provocative things, I am very happy if I have to say it. That position ..."

"Your majesty." Lan Qi panicked and stopped Xuan Ye from continuing. Xuan Ye glanced at her, rubbed his cheeks and said, "You're smart again now?" What happened in the future, there will be no one in that position, and I can no longer give her higher honor, but you are the most honorable person in the six palaces from now on, what did you mean by 'noble' that day? ,Do you understand now?"

He took Lan Qi's hand and covered his heart: "Here is the answer."

Lan Qi's heart finally settled down, and for a while she still had the heart to act coquettishly and playfully, and asked with a smile: "Does that mean that in the future, I will no longer serve the emperor as concubines?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole person was thrown down heavily, and fell on the thick and soft mattress on the kang, her strong and sturdy body was pressed down, telling her not to move, and she bit her ear and asked in an ambiguous tone. : "What do you serve? Why don't you serve anything?"

A questioning that frightened Lan Qi finally ended in lingering sex. Xuan Ye fought for more than ten days, was sick for more than ten days, and recuperated for more than ten days. He didn't get close to anyone for dozens of days. Vigorous, Lan Qi almost felt that she was going to melt under his body.

But later, while recalling the tenderness, she would still be frightened by those words beforehand. In fact, she was still a little confused. She felt that she didn't understand what Xuan Ye was thinking, or rather, she always felt that even if Xuan Ye treated her wholeheartedly, But looking at Xuan Ye himself, after all, there is still a layer of scruples about "he is the emperor". Could it be that Xuan Ye is more unreserved in the relationship between them?

At that time, Huanchun brought the decoction and asked Lan Qi if she would drink it. It was the mildest contraceptive medicine prescribed by the imperial hospital, but the imperial physician said that drinking it beforehand was more effective, and that the uterine body was congested so that it was not suitable for conception. Drink it afterward. If the fetus is already conceived, the medicine may not be effective even if it goes on.

"Forget it, if I really have it, I will accept my fate. It's a gift from God." Lan Qi didn't want to drink any more medicine today, and said with a sigh, "Just be more careful in the future."

On the other hand, Lan Qi refused the decoction and went to the Qing Palace, but Eunuch Liang had already asked someone to clarify how risky it would be if he gave Pinggui the medicine to have an abortion.Sure enough, I asked a lot of people, and they all disapproved of abortion for pregnant women who are four or five months old. Now that they are forcibly drugged, it is very likely that Pinggui will follow along with them.

Although the emperor didn't seem to care much about Pinggui's life, Pinggui really didn't deserve to die. Eunuch Liang figured out what the emperor meant and said, "Long Live Lord, it's your blood after all. Let Pinggui live."

In the past, the empress dowager always taught Xuan Ye not to do anything that would harm his heirs, even he felt bad for concubines, but now he has a life alive, remembering the voice and smile of the empress dowager, Xuan Ye really I can't help but tell Eunuch Liang that day that I don't want that child. It was true, but I still couldn't do it if I asked him to kill my own blood.

At this point in despair, Xuan Ye could only say: "Let her live first, and let's talk about the future."

In the blink of an eye, on the Double Ninth Festival in September, all the concubines inside and outside the palace gathered in the Ningshou Palace to congratulate the Queen Mother. Because the anniversary of Empress Xiaoyi has passed, and the army has won the battle, there is no time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Double Ninth Festival is celebrated. After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager Bo, besides enjoying herself as a filial piety, also wanted to ease the atmosphere in the court.But I don't know if Pinggui's life is bad, or Xuanye's resentment is too strong, but at the banquet at the party that day, Pinggui was sent back after seeing the popularity.

The imperial physicians gave immediate treatment, and the fetus was saved. They only said that it was a common redness during pregnancy, and that it would be fine if you rested. However, the imperial physician told the emperor truthfully: "Your Ping's pregnancy is not very good. Your minister It is recommended that nobleman Ping induce labor as soon as possible to abort the fetus, otherwise, after the full term, the danger faced by the concubine will also happen to nobleman Ping."
