Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xi Concubine bit her lips tightly, turned her face away and did not dare to look into Concubine De's eyes, but her body softened a little, and she heard Concubine De say: "Wait until the Emperor comes to ask you why, but I don't have such patience." She His body twitched, and he finally slid down the chair and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is infatuated by ghosts, my empress..." Xi Concubine wept on the ground, slurring her words, Lan Qi was very impatient to hear this, but there was no rush for this matter, she would not speak unless Xi Concubine spoke. Will know the truth, only try to be patient and wait for her to stop crying.

Concubine Xi thought she was crying pitifully, Concubine De would say a few words of comfort, but he just sat aside and watched her cry. She didn't have many tears in the first place, and couldn't pretend anymore, so she could only choke twice Said: "The concubine didn't give Wang Changzai anything to eat, but just replaced the medicine that helps the discharge of lochia with ordinary nourishing medicine."

"That's all?" Lan Qi was furious, and reprimanded Concubine Xi, "Since you know how to do such a thing, you must know what the consequences will be. You are so stupid and vicious, and now you still think lightly that nothing will happen? After all, the emperor will investigate Qixiang Palace thoroughly, do you think you can escape? Now you just listen to the imperial doctor's words and you show your feet in front of me, can you resist the emperor's questions?"

Concubine Xi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she said incoherently: "The concubine just, just wants her to be not as good as before, exhausted her body, and can no longer be a domineering concubine. The concubine will take good care of the fifteenth elder brother."

"Since the emperor has agreed, both the prince and the princess will stay in Qixiang Palace for you to raise, so why do you have to fight, Brother Fifteen is already a child under your name." Lan Qi sighed, "What else are you not satisfied with?" , must put her to death?"

Xi Concubine mourned: "Don't you know what kind of character Mrs. Wang is? She is the master of Qixiang Palace. The fifteenth brother said that she was raised under the knees of the concubines. If she is healthy, she will not be able to tolerate the concubines." Take care of the child, if anything happens to the child, she will kill the concubine."

Lan Qi frowned and said, "So you want to completely own Brother Fifteen?"

Xi Concubine hated her so much, she covered her face and cried, "It's good for her to die, it's good for her to die."

"If you treated her kindly in the past, why do you have these concerns today? I don't think she would dare to disrespect or do evil to you. It's your own demons that are causing the trouble." Lan Qi sighed, "But if she dies because of this, you Do you think you can really keep fifteen elder brothers?"

The concubine Xi was so weak that she fell on the ground and begged: "If Wang Changzai's health can recover, can the empress forgive the concubine for the sake of the concubine's twenty years in the palace?"

In terms of age, Concubine Xi is still a few years older than Lan Qi. Although the difference between concubine and concubine is only one rank, there is a lot of difference in respect and inferiority. What's more, now that Lan Qi is in charge of the sixth palace, she is almost the head of the four concubines. It is not uncommon for my concubine to lower her eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye in front of her.And Lan Qi is not a mean person. Right now, Wang Changzai still needs to recover, and Xi Concubine also hired an imperial physician for her in time because of fear. If Wang Changzai can recover from nothing, it can indeed be taken as nothing happened, but If there is one thing like this, there are two, if you keep Xi concubine, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no more right and wrong in the future.

Seeing that Concubine De didn't respond, Concubine Xi took a few steps forward and begged: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to do this again."

But Lan Qi suddenly said: "Maybe you never dared to, but you just became someone else's executioner in a daze."

"Your Majesty?" Xi Concubine covered her mouth in panic as if she was being told. She was afraid that something would leak from her mouth again.

"Isn't it?" Seeing her like this, Lan Qi knew that her guess could not be wrong, there must be someone instigated behind her back to make Concubine Xi do such a thing, how could she think of such a clever method with her mind, More importantly, she has no experience in giving birth at all, so she will not understand such details.But Lan Qi didn't want to find out the black hand behind her. For herself, having such an invisible force to restrain Wang Changzai from the side was a good thing for her to save trouble and worry. She never had to worry that Wang would be too arrogant Well, once Mrs. Wang loses her sense of proportion, she doesn't have to do it herself. There are a lot of hands in the palace that want to strangle her to death.

As for the people in the palace who think that Wang Changzai is walking sideways, it is probably due to their jealousy and cowardice that they exaggerate their views on Wang. In the process of groping, she has found her own place in the palace. Although she doesn't like her, she doesn't hate her either.

"That's the end of this matter, I won't tell the emperor, but you have to be careful, if you can't be someone else's executioner, others should kill you." Lan Qi stood up, slightly leaned over and said these words to Xi Concubine coldly , Xi Consort's eyes widened in fright.

Lan Qi said again: "The emperor put her in Qixiang Palace because he trusts you. As long as she is good, you will be good every day. The jealousy and cold eyes outside are all directed at her. Why don't you just sit back and enjoy the success? Concubine Xi, After so many years, you still can’t see through the doorway in this palace. It’s fine to kill yourself, but if you want to be an executioner for someone else and end up with your life, why bother?”

Xi Concubine's eyes were straightened, she lowered her head little by little, as if her whole heart had been cut open for Concubine De to see clearly, she had nothing to say.

"Take good care of her. The emperor will definitely come to Qixiang Palace to visit her after returning to Luan, and you will be there by then. The safety of mother and child is all thanks to you." Lan Qi smiled slightly, "The queen mother has already said that she will give you a reward. Thank you for your hard work." one Year."

Concubine Xi sobbed softly, but when she was about to speak again, Concubine De had already passed by. There was a commotion outside, she staggered to get up to look, and she saw that Concubine De had left Kaixiang Palace without going to visit Wang Changzai , she just remembered that Wang Changzai was burned unconscious, so what if he saw it.The body softened while stroking the door frame, and her maid frantically came to help her, and when she sat down, someone asked: "Your Majesty ordered the sedan chair to be prepared, shall we go to Changchun Palace now?"

"Don't go, don't go." Xi Concubine panicked, the word "Eternal Spring Palace" could be compared to hell, she said to herself tremblingly, "They are too vicious."

Let’s talk about the warm sedan chair of Yonghe Palace going back from Qixiang Palace and passing by the gate of Changchun Palace on the way. At that time, Lan Qi happened to lift the curtain inadvertently to let in air, and saw Concubine Hui’s palace come into view, thinking of Concubine Xi’s fear just now, her eyes There is a bit of contempt, a Han concubine who is destined to be useless, is it worth such a hard work?

Although Lan Qi has no evidence that Concubine Hui instigated Concubine Xi to kill Wang Changzai, but this year she clearly took care of everything in Qixiang Palace, knowing that Yuan promised to go to the sky as a good sister to be intimate with Wang Changzai presumptuously, In the past two years, the favor of the Yuan family and the Wang family has been evenly divided, but in terms of the emperor's favor, Yuan promised not necessarily to be jealous of Wang Changzai, but Lan Qi checked the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and although they often stayed in the Qianqing Palace, they could not be bedded. The first things can be counted.

Under the same situation, Wang Changzai was pregnant and Yuan Xu never had any good news. Because of the incompatible relationship between them, Yuan Xu could make Wang Changzai infertile in the past, and now he can instigate Xi concubine to do harm. And Yuan promised to live with Concubine Hui for so long, watching Concubine Hui "teaching by example and teaching", how could he not learn a few tricks to harm others.

She often felt that Xuanye seemed to care little about the affairs of the harem, but everything at the moment came from his hands. He could change the situation in the harem by flipping a few green cards at will, which seemed to be a relationship between women. In fact, everyone's fate is in the hands of the emperor.

Every time Lan Qi thinks of these things, Lan Qi's impetuous heart will be at ease. This is also the reason why she has gradually stopped being jealous in the past two years. As a recorder of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only I can understand the slight resentment, and even Xuan Ye has trained her: "In your eyes, is Zhen so careless?"

And when Wang Changzai was found to be pregnant, when Lan Qi checked the date with the imperial physician to calculate the pregnancy period in front of the emperor, after the imperial physician and palace people dispersed, Xuan Ye said to her worriedly: "If I were with you that night , could it be you? What if you have it again? "

The emperor's words were not hypocritical. Although Wang Changzai and Yuan promised to be favored, it was in comparison. The other concubines were not all forgotten by the emperor, and the Yonghe Palace would come here from time to time. Every time Xuanye came, as long as she was healthy If you are uncomfortable, you will inevitably have a good night.It was only because they were both at an enthusiastic age that Lan Qi was worried about whether the emperor was having a good time with others every night, and would check those things every now and then, but in comparison, she was a person who was over [-] years old. Often Cheng En Yulu, she once asked why when she was in a hearty mood, Xuan Ye said it didn't make sense, and she would naturally miss her.

These are private secret words, which cannot be said to the pure and ascetic sister Bu. Lan Qi only whispers to her sister when she enters the palace. Lan Ying is now a charming and beautiful woman who is taking care of her body and wants to have another child The first girl, hearing her sister talking about these things, smiled like a peach blossom, and said to Lan Qi: "In my opinion, at this age, they have seen through the good and the bad in the world. Fresh and exciting are just adjustments, or the gentleness around them." The one who is considerate is the most comfortable. Don’t say that men are greedy when they see beautiful ones. I went to the theater with my sisters-in-law and younger siblings. They looked at the handsome actors on the stage one by one. The flowers and branches trembled wildly, and when they turned around, they complained to each other about the big belly at home who was fat and slack, which made me blush."

Thinking about these things all the way, before she knew it, the sedan chair had arrived at the Palace of Eternal Harmony, Lan Qi walked slowly into the door, seeing Huan Chun waiting with Yu Xi, she blamed her for coming back early, Huan Chun smiled and explained a few words, They sat and talked about insignificant things, and waited for the news from the emperor and elder brothers to come back from the people who were driving the mausoleum, knowing that Xuanye and Yinzhen were fine, and both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt at ease.

Regarding the matters in Qixiang Palace, Lan Qi only talked to Huanchun privately when Yuxi led Wen Chen to play in Jingyang Palace, and Huanchun said with a smile: "The servant girl heard Ziyu nagging when she came in, saying that you Go care about Wang Changzai again."

Lan Qi rolled up her sleeves and opened the list of gifts to be prepared on New Year's Eve on the case table, and said casually: "Xinzhen is now walking among the ministers, although there are not many errands and she is just learning skills, but my mother has a reputation of virtue in the harem." , he is more confident, isn't he? Do you think I want to take care of them?"
