Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Don't compare them." The emperor put down these words angrily, and the imperial physician below was taken aback, and hurriedly changed his words without mentioning Concubine De, and explained, "Mr. Ping is still young, and we have to weigh the pros and cons. Abandoning the fetus right now is indeed a protection. The most effective way for the mother's health, once the month gets older, it will become more and more dangerous, even if Mrs. Ping survives until the last moment, I assert that there will be more fetal deaths."

"Death?" Xuan Ye's heart was shaken. Although he did not allow the imperial physician to compare Ping Guiren with Lan Qi, they had a daughter who died prematurely. At that time, the imperial physician also said that it is better to give up the child every day. As for the other children who died prematurely, he I didn't pay too much attention to the situation of the birth mother during pregnancy.

"Your Majesty, look..."

"Let Pinggui live, Pinggui likes children, and now tell her that she can't have children, and she will suffer even more." After a few words, Xuan Ye had an idea in his mind, looked at the imperial doctor calmly and said: "Let Pinggui take the child Give birth, you can do it, keep her child until the final moment of delivery, don't make any mistakes, do your best."

The emperor's words seemed to be categorical, but they didn't make a sentence. He just repeatedly emphasized his decision. Obviously, he didn't have a complete idea in his mind. What he wanted was only a result, and he didn't care about the process at all.

The imperial physicians have been in the deep palace for decades, and they all know how to look at the emperor's attitude, and after talking with Eunuch Liang, they will be able to understand the emperor's intentions.In this matter, as long as they "try their best" to keep Pinggui and the fetus, the final outcome of the mother and child is not important.The important thing is that they have to show all of this to outsiders, or in other words, to the prince's grandfather's family.

At the same time, another pregnant woman in the palace lived in a corner of the sixth palace. After returning from the Changchun Garden, she was almost forgotten. The emperor was busy with the war and never got close to the harem, let alone think of her. Zhang promised. The stomach gradually has months, but everything is stable and nothing happened.

But this time something happened to Mrs. Pinggui, and people remembered another pregnant woman. She was sitting quietly in the corner of the banquet at that time. look at yourself.Several promises around her were always busy expressing concern for her. The empress dowager looked at her and asked, "Where does Zhang promise live now? Why don't you see you often?"

The Empress Dowager just said that casually, but Concubine Yi seized the opportunity, counting the inappropriate place Zhang promised to live in, and coaxed the Empress Dowager to hope that Zhang Agree would move back to Yikun Palace, saying: "The concubine and Zhang agree to love each other. The same sisters know each other's temperament best. Princess Wen Ke is also raised in the concubine's palace. It is the most appropriate for the concubine to take care of her. It's just that it was Empress Xiaoyi's idea that day, and she promised to send Zhang to that quiet place, and the concubine would always be there. It's not easy to bring it up, I'm afraid it will be said that it is disrespectful to Empress Xiaoyi, but this concubine doesn't mean it at all."

While listening to Concubine Yi say these words, the Queen Mother looked up at Lan Qi, and saw that she was holding the wine glass in her hand with a calm expression, and she understood her meaning in her heart, so she casually said to Concubine Yi: "Pregnant women should not move too much. It’s not good for the body and the child, let Zhang agree to give birth there, as for where to live in the future, we can wait until the child is born.”

Concubine Yi was very angry at being rejected in this way, she agreed to meet with Zhang afterwards, and instead blamed her: "Are you stupid, I have already spoken for you like that, why didn't you speak up? , the Queen Mother can still not agree, seeing that you are neither dead nor alive, others will think that we are not compatible."

On the Queen Mother's side, Lan Qi was left behind to ask her in private: "I've heard a few words, but I don't know if it's true. The relationship between you and Zhang Xu is not what other people seem to be? Just now Concubine Yi said that, I almost I just wanted to agree to her casually, but when I suddenly thought about the relationship between you two, I took another look at you and saw the faint look on your face, and felt inappropriate, so I didn't agree to Concubine Yi."

Lan Qi is grateful to the Queen Mother for thinking about her in everything. Now the relationship with the Queen Mother is not the same as it used to be with the Empress Dowager. At that time, the Empress Dowager only relied on Lan Qi and her to have a companion who could talk and have fun and take good care of her. She, but now the empress dowager and her are truly dependent on each other. This time the emperor's personal expedition, it is clear that they are everything.

Therefore, Lan Qi chose to tell the queen mother little by little about these things that could be said, so as to reach a tacit understanding with her, and the queen mother also understood Lan Qi's intentions. Explained, but said with peace of mind: "Seeing that you and Concubine Yi are walking diligently in recent days, I was worried that you were confused. How can a person like Concubine Yi be suitable for heart-to-heart chats, things without a conscience."

In this case, Lan Qi did not continue talking to the queen mother, Lan Qi knew why the queen mother was unhappy, as the fifth elder brother grew up, the intimacy between Yifei and the fifth elder brother's mother and child became more and more obvious, and the fifth elder brother He still had an attitude of completely ignoring his origin in the Yikun Palace. Everyone before and after said that he was raised by the imperial grandmother, and that he respected his biological mother as a salute upon meeting. To put it bluntly, he didn't take her seriously at all.

In fact, the Empress Dowager never taught the fifth elder brother not to recognize his biological mother. When he was young, because of the empress dowager's instructions, he was not allowed to have any contact with his biological mother. When he grew up, he entered the study and studied poetry and book etiquette. His own idea, gradually becoming the older child, is that he himself does not want to recognize this mother. The queen mother even asked him to be filial and not to annoy the emperor, but the fifth elder brother still went his own way, serving his grandmother wholeheartedly, being very filial, and treating his biological mother But like a stranger.

All the people in the palace saw all this, but Concubine Yi declared that the Fifth Elder Brother became like this, because the Empress Dowager deliberately instigated their mother and son.It is inevitable that some words will reach the Queen Mother's ears. How can the Queen Mother be willing to be criticized by Concubine Yi in such a way? She has worked so hard to raise her fifth elder brother to grow up safely. Because she didn't hear or see it with her own eyes, the Queen Mother kept silent, but she didn't show any good attitude towards Concubine Yi.

This is not a bad thing for Lan Qi, or even for everyone else.In the past, the Empress Dowager was still worried that there was a connection with the fifth elder brother, and that the Empress Dowager would get close to Concubine Yi, but she did not expect that they were probably destined not to get along, and instead their relationship became stiff.

Speaking of which, there are more and more children in the palace who are not raised under the knees of their biological mothers. The fifth princess is also raised in the Ningshou Palace, but there is no such embarrassing relationship. I isolated myself, and didn't reveal much other good things, but this incident made it so eye-catching, everyone looked at it and laughed in their hearts.

For example, in the eyes of Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi is an idiot. Since Concubine Yi broke up with her, she has tried to show her affection several times to no avail, and she has made up her mind that no matter how hard life is, she will never associate with this woman again.Recently, the two have gone farther and farther. On the other hand, Concubine Yi was embarrassed in front of the Empress Dowager that day. When she returned to the palace with her, she chattered a few words on the road. No such thoughts, but just listen politely on the face.

And no matter what others think of the current Concubine Hui, she is always acting with her tail between her legs. One of them is that she doesn't have a reliable person like Yan Zhu to rely on, and more importantly, her son hasn't come back yet.

Right now, Prince Yu and Prince Gong are still leading troops to garrison Mobei to prevent Galdan from counterattacking. The elder brother is Prince Yu's deputy general, and he followed Prince Yu from the beginning to the end of the whole battle. Now that Prince Yu's army is not returning, the elder brother is still there Outside, if the emperor didn't take the initiative to ask him to come back, no one dared to mention it.

Concubine Hui saw the crown prince returning safely, seeing the emperor recovering health, but his son was still left outside, and the palace was full of victorious celebrations for more than a month, her heart was still hanging in her throat, she couldn't do anything quiet.

Returning from Ningshou Palace on the day of Double Ninth Festival, I was very disappointed when I saw the young brothers and princesses playing in Ningshou Palace who had not been in the study room. It is said that her eldest granddaughter is also cute and exquisite now, but daughter-in-law If she refuses to send it to the palace, even if she really wants to see the child, she won't be able to.For some reason, every time she calms down and thinks about it now, Concubine Hui will fall into the panic of having nothing.

But that night when the eighth elder brother came back from the study, he brought good news to Concubine Hui. Yinhu excitedly told his adoptive mother: "My son heard that the elder brother is going back to Beijing, so don't worry."

The eighth elder brother heard those words from the mouth of the third elder brother. Since the third elder brother went to Mobei with the prince, his relationship with the prince is much closer than before. Although he does not study in Yuqing Palace, he often He will be called by the prince, and he and the fourth elder brother have already been in and out of Yuqing Palace from time to time.

Yinhu comforted gently: "The third brother said that the prince brother mentioned it, and it must be soon. Don't worry about Er Niang, the elder brother will return safely."

Although it was just a child's words, but now in the deep palace no one really cared about his concubine Hui, but it was inexplicably warm to hear it, and then recalled the excitement of the children in Ningshou Palace, and realized that he could not lose the eighth elder brother Even if it's just to maintain a decent relationship, she must firmly grasp it.

However, Concubine Hui was relieved for only a few days. After four or five days, although the court also said that Prince Yu and Prince Gong’s subordinates were going to return to Beijing first, the elder brother seemed to be on the list, but before Concubine Hui could feel relieved, another voice It was rumored that Galdan was allowed to flee this time, but the failure to destroy him was all due to Prince Yu's underestimation of the enemy, which delayed the best chance to pursue him. In other words, he let Galdan go.

The emperor's attitude has always been to pursue this matter, and Prince Yu will inevitably be held accountable, but these days there are rumors that the elder brother is also involved. If the emperor pursues it, the elder brother will also bear the responsibility. Now the elder brother He is about to return to Beijing early, and how the emperor will punish the elder brother is just a few days away.
