Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The elder brother returned to Beijing first in late September. After entering the palace, he was ordered by the emperor to meet his grandmother and mother first. After Yinti came out of Ningshou Palace, he came to his mother. Concubine Hui was waiting there. Outside the gate of Changchun Palace, when she saw her son with a dark complexion, the mother burst into tears.But Concubine Hui took her son's hand into the house and closed the door and said something. The mother and son seemed to have a great conflict. The elder brother slammed the door and walked out, frightening the people in Changchun Palace.

However, after the elder brother went to Qianqing Palace, the father and son talked well. The emperor did not issue any orders to hold the elder brother accountable. It seemed that the delay of the military flight by Prince Yu had nothing to do with the elder brother. The elder brother left the palace directly after saying goodbye to his father. It wasn't until the evening that there was news that the emperor had invited the Queen Mother to hold a banquet in the Ningshou Palace, and tomorrow he would clean up the big brother.

The other brothers didn't see their elder brother. When the eighth elder brother came back from the study, he excitedly asked Baoyun how the elder brother was doing. Baoyun described that the eldest elder brother became stronger and taller after being tanned, and told the eighth elder brother : "The empress and the elder brother had a conflict, and the mother and son broke up unhappy. Everyone in the Changchun Palace is watching today. Eighth elder brother, you should be careful when you go to talk to the empress."

"It's so easy to meet, why are you arguing?" Brother Ba couldn't understand, when he came to see his adoptive mother again, he didn't see Concubine Hui showing any displeasure, as if Bao Yun had lied, and her adoptive mother was as gentle as ever to him , Huo Hannuan talked for a long time, and it took dinner together before they broke up.

When the eighth elder brother said good night to Concubine Hui and wanted to say goodbye, he asked casually: "The emperor will hold a banquet in the Ningshou Palace tomorrow to clean up the elder brother. Is it better for the minister to go directly from the study, or come back first and let Er Niang Change clothes for me?"

Only then did Concubine Hui show a bit of sleepiness, but she forced herself to reply to her adopted son: "You brothers are having a lot of fun, go by yourself." Brother Tianba came to Ningshou Palace with his brothers, but his adoptive mother was still there early.

The Empress Dowager held a banquet, and only the concubines in the palace were invited, several clan elders, old and young Fujin, Prince Yu, Prince Gong, Prince Fujin, and several side Fujin were all there, but all of them were tense and did not dare to speak too much, after all, the emperor can forgive Son, may not be able to forgive their husbands.This time Galdan was defeated, the imperial court has not really celebrated or rewarded meritorious deeds. On the contrary, more and more remarks have been made about the delay of the military plane by the two princes. They all understand the importance of it.

Among the empresses and concubines, except for the noble concubine, the four concubines gathered together, and not all the concubines under the court came, but some of the four concubines who had a good relationship with the four concubines attended the meeting, and Ping Guiren and Zhang promised that they all stayed at home and did not come together lively.

The emperor came after the banquet, and he was talking with the queen mother and elder brother all the time. Concubine Rong on Lan Qi's side was pushing her, motioning to look at Concubine Hui, and saw Concubine Yi chirping beside Concubine Hui. What are you talking about, I thought the two of them got together again, but Concubine Hui suddenly glared at Concubine Yi coldly, Concubine Yi was taken aback, snorted disdainfully and ran away.

Concubine Rong sneered: "This Concubine Yi, who keeps teasing cats and dogs all day long, does she still act like she was in her teens?"

Before Lan Qi could answer, loud laughter came from above, everyone followed the sound and looked over, but saw the queen mother said to Concubine Rong: "Concubine Rong, why don't you bring the third elder brother to thank you?"

Concubine Rong was puzzled. Seeing the emperor's smiling face, the eldest elder brother also stepped aside with a smile, unable to guess what would involve her and the third elder brother. The queen mother continued to laugh and said, "The emperor just told me that this time the battle was won. , there are a lot of people who have made meritorious service in the army, and the brave and diligent Gong Pengchun has made great military achievements. The elder brother just praised him for his bravery and invincibility. No, only the best match with our third elder brother.

Concubine Rong listened blankly, and was pushed forward by Lan Qi. The third elder brother had already walked out of the brothers. The gentle and refined child smiled shyly at the moment. After saluting with his mother, he was called by the queen mother. He came to him and joined hands and said: "The girls of Dong E's family are all stunning beauties, and when they get married, they should love them well, just like your elder brother and the prince's elder brother."

The third elder brother's face turned red, and then Concubine Rong stepped forward to listen to a few words, and when she returned to the seat, the concubines and women of the palace congratulated one after another, Concubine Rong herself was still in a daze, she only heard one sentence It is clear that the prospective daughter-in-law is from a famous family, Yongqin Gong Pengchun has a high position in the court, and the Dong E family is a big family that is as famous as several big families.

After the excitement dissipated and the banquet continued as usual, Concubine Rong seemed to catch her breath. Lan Qi brought warm tea to let her relax. Concubine Rong covered her heart and said, "Why is it so sudden? I still think, The emperor doesn't know when he will think of our third elder brother's marriage. Looking at the age of the eldest elder brother and the prince, it is almost time to at least mention it, but he is so busy..." After a pause, he said, "I still think, I was born Wei Han, the future daughter-in-law is probably not as good as the two sisters-in-law, I didn't expect the emperor to be so caring and find a daughter from such a wealthy family, I, the future mother-in-law, feel a little inferior."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Sister, you are talking stupidly. Where did you come from without us? You are the emperor's concubine Rong, one of the most noble women in the Qing Dynasty, and you are not enough to be a mother-in-law for the daughter of the father-in-law's family? Sister, feel at ease, Wait and drink your daughter-in-law's tea."

Concubine Rong smiled and said: "The date hasn't been set yet, it's early." As she spoke, her heart suddenly tightened, she grabbed Lan Qi's hand and said, "Is it Rong Xian?"

Lan Qi didn't expect this at all. Seeing Rong Xian talking and laughing with the sisters across the way, she felt a little bit reluctant, so she could only comfort Concubine Rong: "It will be sooner or later, sister, don't worry, the emperor can do it for the three of you." Elder brother refers to a good marriage, how could he treat his own eldest daughter badly?"

Concubine Rong sighed: "The war in Mobei is full of smoke and poison. The emperor wants to appease people's hearts. I reckon that it is probably one of the tribes. Chunxi just married a Taiji. We Rongxian, I hope she can marry a Prince."

Lan Qi just smiled and didn't say anything. During the dinner, she occasionally looked up. The most peaceful and peaceful scene at the banquet where the desire for power is raging.

But the true feelings of the emperor and concubine are very ambiguous in the eyes of others. Even if it is only once or twice, many people will see it, or in other words, many people will stare at them.For example, under the empress dowager and the emperor, the crown prince and Ci Fujin who were sitting at the head of the table, it was the second time that Ci Fujin pulled her husband and said: "Don't keep staring at the empress concubine De, you will be misunderstood, Yinreng, don't you?" Read?"

Of course, Fang Fujin knows what her husband sees. Although the young couple got married not long ago, their relationship is already very harmonious. Li Fangfujin wholeheartedly wants to climb up to the position of Crown Princess. Of course, he will do his best for his husband and the affairs of the royal family. Maybe he will not be able to become the Crown Princess. It's not that she has the final say, and what's worse, although the prince is full of vigor, he doesn't touch her often, and instead favors a few maids in Yuqing Palace whose empress dowager allows him to openly accept the house.But before and after each intercourse, they will be asked to take contraceptive pills, and tell Fujin in private that he can't have a child right now, and warn Fujin not to worry, if she becomes pregnant, something will happen to her.

Side Fujin has no one to rely on in the deep palace. If she doesn't listen to her husband, who else can she listen to? Since she got married, she has obeyed the prince in everything, except for the matter of intercourse, the prince also has a deep affection for her.

After the banquet was over that day, the emperor went back to Qianqing Palace. It seemed that Wang Changzai's sign had been turned over at night. Lan Qi didn't bother to care about it, and came back with the fourth elder brother and her younger siblings. Lan Qi smiled and asked her son: "Yinzhen, If it happens to be a good day, would you like to get married with Third Elder Brother?"

The fourth elder brother smiled: "Is Er Niang planning, so that the palace can save a lot of money?"

Lan Qi was taken aback, and scolded her son: "Are you running on my mother like this?"

The fourth elder brother jokingly joked with her for a while, and then asked her mother: "After getting married with Yuxi, will you leave the palace immediately?"

"Probably yes, but I haven't had time to choose Elder Brother's house for you and you. There are a lot of things waiting to be prepared." Lan Qi said clearly, looking at her son with a smile, "You are in a hurry to leave the palace and be free with Yuxi, Do you think the mother is long-winded?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, and said in a serious manner: "Yuxi is young, probably not yet able to be the master of the house, and my son is also young, I thought that if Huang Ama and Er Niang would allow her to live in the palace for two years , just follow you and learn your skills."

At that time, Lan Qi was playing with her son, saying that he was partial to his wife, and that he would abuse his daughter-in-law in the future and train her well. A mother is not a decent person, but her son was willing to coax her to have fun.That night, Lan Qi didn't think much about anything, but the next morning, Qinglian came to send a message, saying that the fourth elder brother was sick and couldn't go to Yuqing Palace to study, so she faintly felt that the conversation with her son last night was a bit strange, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and came over and entered the door At that time, Xiaohezi was running outside, but Qinglian stopped him and asked him why he was running.

Xiaohe Zifu said: "The servant is going to get the homework for the fourth elder brother, and ask the Taifu what book he is studying today."

Lan Qi warned: "Si elder brother is sick, so don't talk too much about what shouldn't be said." Xiaohezi was clever, and after kowtowing in agreement, he hurried to do errands for the master.

When Lan Qi heard that her son was still interested in studying, she knew that she was fine, so she left Huan Chun and Qing Lian to enter his bedroom alone. Sure enough, she saw her son sitting at the table in a dress. When she saw her mother coming, she got up and asked for help. Come to salute, Lan Qi rushed up and pressed him down, touched his forehead and it didn't feel hot, and asked: "What's uncomfortable, why don't you let the doctor Xuan?"

The fourth elder brother was evasive: "It's nothing important, just rest for a day."

Knowing the child is not like the mother, Lan Qi asked back: "Is it really going to be all right in one day?"

Yinzhen pursed her lips and avoided her mother's eyes. Seeing him like this, Lan Qi became more sure of what was going on, and said seriously: "If you don't want to say it, Erniang won't force you, but you should know that the schoolwork in the study room You can't just say no and don't go, do you have to wait for your Huang Ama to come and ask you what's going on?"
