Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi sent food to Xuan Ye's bowl, and smiled: "The emperor thought about it for a long time, and then came up with such a sentence to coax the courtiers and concubines? It's not new, and the courtiers don't like to hear it."

Xuan Ye blamed: "Why don't you like to listen?"

She smiled and said: "Thinking about the appearance of the year, and then looking at the person in front of the door, I should sigh in my heart, 'It really is good at age, it really is old', I don't want to be lamented by you, and at the same time I am still I don’t know how to follow Shale.”

"Pretentious." Xuan Ye ignored her, and ate the food in the bowl with a good appetite. Not too much, not too little, just right, Lan Qi didn't persuade him to eat anymore, but asked him not to sit in front of the case to deal with government affairs immediately, and rest at least. Take a break.

"As soon as you come, although I am satisfied with ironing everything, I have to take care of everything, and I still have to listen." Xuan Ye stretched out his hand lazily, obviously not even bothering to wash his hands, and said such words.

Lan Qi helped him wash and dry, and when the eunuch holding the water basin went down, she pushed the emperor lightly and said, "Didn't someone go to Yonghe Palace to act like a baby?"

Xuan Ye glared at her, but with a deep smile on his face, he said happily: "You will come every day these few days, and you should marry your daughter immediately, if my waist is not good, how can I straighten my waist. "

Seeing Lan Qi biting her lip and looking at him, Xuan Ye was stunned, hugged him quickly and said, "I said something wrong again, did you come here to be an imperial physician, it's because I miss you, I want to see you."

Lan Qi pretended to be pitiful and said: "You're really old, now even you have to beg for some nice and coaxing words to listen to."

The two quarreled and made fun of each other, one meal was very easy to digest, one meal was eaten smoothly and digested comfortably, and only then would one have the appetite for the next meal, and the emperor was usually bored, or he didn’t move much after eating, so it’s no wonder It's getting more and more unappetizing.

Lan Qi left the Yonghe Palace late in the afternoon when a minister asked for an audience. In the middle, Xuan Ye took a [-]-hour nap and slept deeply. Lan Qi quietly tidied up the pen and ink on his desk. He sent tea to the concubine Defei.But Lan Qi ordered him to clean up some things in the room that the emperor had arranged for Wang Changzai before, and further instructed: "No more bamboo mats are allowed, there is ice in the room, and the cold air gathers inside, and the warm skin and flesh lie on the floor. I went up and sucked the cold air into my body, not to mention that it is not good for the emperor's health, even Wang Changzai, a thin woman, can't bear this."

Eunuch Liang agreed to everything, and before the emperor woke up, he sent someone to move some things away on tiptoe. When Xuan Ye got up, he saw something different in the room, so he knew what was going on, and didn't ask Lan Qi, just waiting for her to ask After leaving, Cai Lue said with a guilty conscience: "It's only because she comes here often that I haven't been cleaned up, don't you misunderstand?"

At that time, Lan Qi only snorted softly: "Your Majesty just stay, and the concubines come to clean up from time to time."

The two said goodbye happily. The ministers who met in the afternoon felt that the emperor was in good spirits after only half a day. After inquiring, they found out that the concubine De concubine came to serve at noon today. It was indeed very different from the Wang family who used to be there these days. .

The ministers are all people with families and children. They have experienced love and are tired of dealing with the jealousy of their wives and concubines. No matter how high the emperor is, he is also a man like them. Listening to the deeds and conduct of Concubine De, I can understand why the emperor treats Yonghe The palace can't let go.But just because he is the emperor, and because Concubine De has both children, they have to be skeptical about the emperor's love for Wu Ya's family, so that they can cope with the changing situation of the royal family at any time.

The next morning, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong drew up the promotion list in Jingyang Palace. When she got married, Zhang promised that Min would always be there.

Concubine Rong said with a smile: "When the third and fourth children get married at the end of the year, I will promote her to nobleman. Next year, she will find a reason to be promoted to the position of concubine. She will be able to raise her own children in a logical way. I don't hate her at all. The two of you If I can settle my suspicions, I have nothing to worry about."

But Lan Qi said: "The emperor didn't want her to sit on the throne to raise the princess. He has been raising the princess for half a year now, just to show some favor. Don't you love the king a lot these days? I'm afraid She is not happy in her heart. This is the emperor's mind, and we don't have to worry about it if the emperor will not move her position in the future."

These words are naturally perfunctory for Concubine Rong. As for the cause of Concubine Ping’s death, only Xuanye and Huanchun know the truth. Since everyone thinks that she and Xing’er are “relieving their suspicions”, then let nature take its course, and she doesn’t have to go anywhere. to explain something.

At noon, Concubine Rong tactfully pushed her to Qianqing Palace, and when she delivered it to the door, she said: "I heard that Mrs. Wang was rude to you yesterday, knowing that you are going to Qianqing Palace, and running to scare you?"

Lan Qi didn't explain to Wang Changzai, she smiled faintly: "Who knows, but she left immediately, there is nothing unpleasant about it."

Concubine Rong said softly: "Now the situation in Qixiang Palace is very different, Xi Concubine actually wants to see her face everywhere, it seems that Qixiang Palace has changed the head. This Xi Concubine really does it all the time Too much, bullying people in the past, but now pleasing people, nothing is just right, the honor that the emperor gave her for nothing. And that Wang family is getting more and more proud, which is very different from the previous time, but I understand her, and she was almost tortured A dead person, what could she think when she knelt outside Qixiang Palace in winter? If I were to make a comeback in the future, I would definitely want to take revenge on Concubine Xi in order to relieve the hatred in my heart, this is also human nature."

Lan Qi didn't care, evil people have evil people to torture them, Xi Concubine and Wang Chang are with each other, although she dare not boast how saintly she is, but when she was tortured by Empress Xiaoyi, she never thought that she would pay back ten times in the future. It is really different from others, and said with a smile: "Let them go."

Afterwards, she moved to Qianqing Palace. Lan Qi didn't want to be too ostentatious, so she didn't prepare any meals today. As a result, the emperor looked at the table of meals spread out in the imperial dining room, and was not interested in moving his chopsticks, so he had to promise him that he would cook his favorite food tomorrow Come, only to coax the big man to eat some.When it was time to talk about serious matters, the emperor said that the word "Min" was excellent, and looked at the list of promotions, pointed to Mrs. An's name and said, "Are you going to promote her to be a concubine?"

"It's Sister Rong's meaning. Anyway, she is someone with seniority in the palace. Sister Rong said that the emperor liked it a lot in the early years." Lan Qi didn't know what happened back then, but she only knew that Mrs. An used to bully her a lot, but Since Concubine Rong protects her, I can't easily deny it. Seeing the emperor frowning at this moment, I guess he is not happy, but Mrs. An has been very quiet and honest these years, and she has no part in the troubles in the palace. No wonder Concubine Rong thought of her.

"Then there is no need to perform the canonization ceremony." Xuan Ye considered it and agreed.

In the afternoon when Lan Qi was about to leave Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye said to her: "Emperor Niang has always wanted to see Lan Ying's child. I have ordered someone to send a message in the morning to ask Ah Ling to send Fujin and the child to the palace tomorrow. There is no need to come here, I will go to Ningshou Palace for lunch at noon, and we will meet there together."

When Lan Qi heard that her sister was going to enter the palace, she was naturally overjoyed and excited all night. The next morning, she ran to Ningshou Palace to wait for her sister, but after her sister came to the Queen Mother with the child in her arms, she said: Then go to Xianfu Palace to pay my respects, and ask the imperial concubine to take a look at the child, after all, the imperial concubine is the child's real aunt."

The queen mother lamented that Lan Ying was kind-hearted, and agreed without even thinking about it. She was afraid that the demented concubine would hurt others, so she ordered Lan Qi to go with her. This also gave the sisters a chance to be alone. Lan Qi hugged her all the way The little nephew couldn't put it down, and kept saying: "Emiang told me that the child was carved out of the same mold as you when you were young, and I don't remember what you looked like when you were young, but the eyes and nose are really like our Ama."

Lan Ying smiled: "People in their family say they are the same as Ah Ling."

Lan Qi looked at her carefully and said: "You have lost a lot of weight, and you see fat there, you just have everything you need to do, and you don't bother to come to the palace to see me."

The younger sister smiled sweetly: "Sister, having a child is really different. Obviously children are all the same, but when you hold your own flesh and blood in your arms, the feeling in your heart is really different."

The elder sister laughed at her for making such a fuss, and asked casually: "Just come and see the imperial concubine, why are you holding the child?"

Now that it was approaching the Xianfu Palace, Lan Ying took the child from her sister's arms, looked at the palace, and said softly: "If she knows that A Ling'a and I have a child, will she feel better and stop going crazy? A good person, make it like this, sister, do you think she will be okay in this life?"

According to Lanying's wish, she even hoped that Concubine Wen would recover her mind one day, but when they entered the Xianfu Palace and saw the concubine, they were all shocked. The concubine fell ill for some reason, and the "child" who was still alive and kicking before In the past two days, the lingering sick bed was very weak. Lan Qi asked Dong Yun why he didn't report it, but Dong Yun kept silent and didn't answer, which made Lan Qi suspicious.

Because the imperial concubine was ill, Lan Ying did not dare to take the child to the sick bed easily, and told the imperial concubine through the window that she and A Ling'a had a son, the little guy babbled a few times, and laughed happily from time to time, like the sounds of nature Passing through the door, Lan Qi stood in front of the couch and saw Concubine Wen looking out of the window with a curious look on her face. Tears gradually fell from the corners of her eyes. Dong Yun lay beside the bed and told the master that this was her little nephew. Repeated "little nephew" several times, and laughed again.

Lan Qi felt very uncomfortable when she saw it, thinking of Elder Brother Ten who was still raised in Ningshou Palace, but the Queen Mother had no intention of letting Elder Brother Ten come into contact with his crazy mother, so Lan Qi couldn't speak up, so they could only separate their mother and child. .Fortunately, nobleman Juechan once comforted her, saying that Concubine Wen Gui had never had any feelings for children, the poor brother Shi, it doesn't matter if Concubine Wen sees or not now.

But although Concubine Wen is crazy, she can't tolerate being treated badly. Lan Qi is very concerned about why Concubine Dong Yun didn't report her illness. She just got busy recently and neglected the Xianfu Palace. This happened again. Before Concubine Yi was in charge It is also shorter than the cost of the Xianfu Palace, and there may be such a thing now, but Dongyun doesn't say it.

This night, Lan Qi summoned Dong Yun to ask her about the details. Her original intention was not to seek the "truth", but to know whether the imperial concubine had been bullied recently. She somehow touched Dong Yun's sadness. The man suddenly knelt down and cried: "Do you know why the imperial concubine is demented?"
