Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

With the empress dowager's attitude, Lan Qi knew that if she came together with Concubine Rong again, she would also be rejected. Concubine Rong would still beg her to speak to Xuan Ye in the end. Once she can't get through, she can't put on a hard face and refuse Concubine Rong again. Concubine Rong is afraid that she has calculated this, she must think that it is best for her to agree, if she doesn't refuse outright, there is always room for negotiation, Lan Qi is this He dug a hole for himself.

Now the emperor's mausoleum was still four or five days away from returning, she secretly decided that if she couldn't figure out a way to deal with it in these four or five days, she would directly reject Concubine Rong.

Two days later, Prince Yu Fujin entered the palace to deliver New Year's goods to Lan Qi. Since Prince Yu was frustrated that year and Lan Qi gave a sky blue glazed vase to his sister-in-law, Prince Yu Fujin and Lan Qi have gotten closer.When they are outside the palace, it is easy for them to get some rare and interesting good things. When they are filial to the Queen Mother, they always think of Lan Qi. At first, Lan Qi was worried that getting too close to Prince Yu's mansion would make Xuan Ye feel disgusted. After asking Xuanye, the emperor said, "It's better for you sisters-in-law to get closer. You're not an outspoken person. I'm not worried that she will find out something from you, and then go back and spread the word."

In this way, firstly, Lan Qi knew that she didn't have to worry about it, and secondly, she understood the meaning of Xuan Ye's words. It's okay for them to communicate, but they should be cautious in their words and deeds, and don't let the royal family outside the palace know easily.

However, Prince Yu, Fujin, seems to have found sustenance in the palace. In the early years, she often came to tell the empress dowager about the helplessness in the mansion. In recent years, she seldom talked to the empress dowager, but always liked to chat with Lan Qi. There is always something to say.

This day, Prince Yu Fu Jin came to send the New Year gift, the two sisters-in-law were sitting and gossiping, and they somehow got involved in the third elder brother's house. It was originally the birthday celebration of the elders of Dong E's family at the beginning of the month, and their family members came to the door in person earlier. Invited to the banquet, but now that Prince Yu is not in the capital with the emperor's visit to the mausoleum, Fujin took side Fujin and a few children to meet the scene, Dong E's family naturally treated her as a guest of honor, but Prince Yu Fujin was there Hear and see interesting things.

That day San Fujin also went back to her natal family to celebrate her birthday. Prince Yu Fujin had seen her blushing and arguing with her father for some reason, because he was far away and couldn't see clearly, but later when he was talking and joking with other people, he heard sporadic gossip and said three things. Fujin complained to his family, envious of the luxury of the fourth elder brother's house that was about to be completed, it was obviously the same as the elder brother's house, and it looked like a prince's mansion. The palace covered the sky with one hand, and used the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to privately build a luxury house for the fourth elder brother.

At this moment, Prince Yu Fujin said: "This Sanfujin is really speechless. The house and concubines went to see it with the prince. It is much smaller than the elder brother's house. How could it be enough to go to the prince's mansion? I thought there was no one there. Have you seen the specifications of the Prince's Mansion?"

Lan Qi said nonchalantly: "The third family always likes to compare everything. I was afraid of troublesome things. Back then, I pestered the emperor to choose a place. Everyone inside and outside the palace knew about it. Let her talk if she likes."

Fujin smiled and said: "The most strange thing is, how did Dong E's family teach their daughter? This child has no intelligence at all. There is nothing else in her body except pride and comparison. She has a beautiful face."

For similar words, Lan Qi is always perfunctory, she will not say the truth to Prince Yu Fujin, no matter how angry she is, she will not be impulsive, only when the guests leave, will she say a few words to Huanchun, Prince Yu Fujin Although she loves to spread rumors, she never spreads rumors, and Sanfujin's virtue is obviously spreading bad rumors about the fourth elder brother outside. Huanchun failed to persuade her master, and seeing that she was sullen all day long, she decided to invite Yingfujin in private Entering the palace, Lan Qi thought her sister was unwell at first, but when she rushed over, she realized what was going on.

Lan Ying said timidly: "I'm just afraid that my sister will be unhappy. I don't mention those things every time I enter the palace. Sanfujin is really good enough. All the women in my family come to ask me, are you really covering the sky in the palace? gone."

Lan Qi said angrily: "She was not peaceful when she was in the palace. I wanted to do something to argue with a child, but now it's even worse when I let her out. I only think that Yinzhen and I are easy to bully, and our family, Yuxi, is easy to bully." ?"

Lanying can only persuade: "Anyway, the fourth elder brother's house is well-regulated. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that you are restraining yourself everywhere. Let her talk."

"But Concubine Rong is now relying on me to pity their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's quarrel, and come to me to beg for cheap. I don't blame her for bullying me, but for her own children, she may not bully my children in the future." Lan Qi was impatient. Outsiders say that she doesn't care about anything, but the heart of protecting the calf is inviolable. Empress Xiaoyi has always warned her not to be a soft persimmon and be pinched by others. Now she is fine. She keeps her duty, but people regard her as weak and deceitful .

"Ying'er, although it's not very good for you to do something for my sister, it's not me who made it up, but they made it up." Lan Qi looked resentful. She didn't have the wisdom to deceive others, but If you are willing to do this kind of thing, honest people are forced to rush, but it is not easy to bully.

Lan Yingde's sister gave the opportunity face-to-face, and two days after leaving the palace, she began to spread some words, but it can't be passed on from A Ling's house, otherwise if someone checks, they will know that it is an incident between A Ling's house and Yonghe Gongsheng After going through several twists and turns, it was reported that Concubine Rong was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's domineering and disobedient discipline, saying that Concubine Rong would personally choose Fang Fujin for the third elder brother. The Lord is also between day and night.

This is not something that happened out of thin air, it's just that the secrets of the palace cannot be passed on. Now that Lan Qi has made a fuss through Lanying's mouth, the whole city knows that San Fujin will inevitably break into the palace to make trouble with her mother-in-law, so whether it is acceptable or not They had the final say on the matter, but no one dared to speak up in this situation whether they wanted to draft for the emperor, Lan Qi was happy to stand on the sidelines.

It's a pity that Lan Qi had predicted that Sanfujin would come to make trouble with Concubine Rong, but she didn't expect that she would be able to make such a big fuss, not to mention looking for life in Jingyang Palace, and even broke into Ningshou Palace, scaring the Queen Mother very much. Concubine Rong fell ill in a fit of rage, and on the day the emperor returned to Luan, Sanfujin tried to reason with the emperor, just happened to meet Concubine Hui passing by, and dragged his daughter-in-law back for Concubine Rong desperately.But this matter will definitely reach the emperor's ears. I heard that Sheng Jia called the third elder brother to reprimand him as soon as he arrived at the Qianqing Palace. Things were not going well.

When the fourth elder brother came to greet Lan Qi, he said: "Why doesn't Er Niang help Concubine Rong take care of the third sister-in-law, the third brother's face has been completely humiliated by her."

Lan Qi was very guilty, and only perfunctory her son: "Be careful when talking to the third elder brother these days, don't let him misunderstand something and hurt your brotherhood."

On the day the emperor returned to Luan, he did not go to Qixiang Palace to see the newly born fifteenth elder brother and Wang Changzai. After he went to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, he went to Jingyang Palace at night to accompany Concubine Rong who was ill. Even though he lived in Wanchang's room in the side hall that night, he also stayed with Concubine Rong who was sick in the middle of the night, had meals with her, and advised her to take medicine, which was very gentle and considerate.In the next few days, due to the busy court affairs, he stayed in Qianqing Palace and did not set foot in the harem. The king of Qixiang Palace was often there, and only Eunuch Liang gave some rewards.

It was already six or seven days after the emperor returned to Luan to visit the mother and son of the fifteenth elder brother in person. At that time, Wang Chang was recovering from the danger of endless lochia. In a word, after hugging Brother Fifteen again, he left.As for Concubine Xi, as Lan Qi said, she was praised by the emperor, and she was told in front of Wang Changzai to treat the fifteenth elder brother as her own in the future, which can be regarded as reaffirming her status as the fifteenth elder brother's adoptive mother .Concubine Xi secretly thanked Concubine De for not reporting that she was going to kill Wang Changzai, and because the little elder brother was cute, he had taken care of him for more than half a month and had developed deep feelings for her. The life in the palace was no longer as depressing as it used to be. Not to the end.

On the same day, Lan Qi came to Jingyang Palace to visit Concubine Rong, and discussed with her a few things about the Empress Dowager's funeral and the New Year in the palace. Unexpectedly, Concubine Rong suddenly became angry when she was talking, and she gritted her teeth in front of Lan Qi. He said that Concubine Hui was vicious, and that she had a bad relationship with Da Fujin, so she didn't let her have a good time, and kept saying that it was Concubine Hui who instigated San Fujin to make troubles behind her back, and said bitterly: "Why did you get along with Da Fujin that day?" It's such a coincidence that she was able to pass by and pull him back to me, she probably knew that the child was going to make trouble with the emperor."

Lan Qi felt her heart pounding when she heard this, she frowned and asked, "Why did my sister think of her?"

Concubine Rong had a look of hatred, but her eyes showed a bit of tenderness, and she said in a soft tone: "The emperor told me that when the empress dowager was frightened by the disturbance, it was reported to the emperor. He knew it before he even entered Beijing. These things, let people investigate who is spreading rumors inside and outside the palace, and it really is that poisonous woman in Changchun Palace. The emperor wants me to be careful, don't let her provoke our mother-child relationship."

Lan Qi tried her best to put on a calm expression, but her throat was still burning with anger. When she returned to the Yonghe Palace, she was restless. She only made up her mind when Yinxiang and Yinti came back from school in the evening. Stewed a cup of ginseng soup in the small kitchen, warmed it all the way to the Qing Palace.

Eunuch Liang was very surprised when he heard Concubine De arrived, but Lan Qi came suddenly, not knowing that the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers, so Eunuch Liang didn't go to pass the message, and directly welcomed Concubine De to the warm pavilion to rest and wait, he turned around and asked When he was leaving, Lan Qi stopped him and asked, "Did you investigate the matter with Concubine Rong for the emperor?"

Eunuch Liang was full of embarrassment, and immediately prostrated himself and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me. This servant has to be dedicated to the job assigned by the emperor. How did this servant know that you will be found out? Madam, did you and Yingfu Jin really pass on this matter?"

Lan Qi stared blankly at Eunuch Liang, forced a smile and said, "Your majesty...understand?"
