Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Emiang." Yinzhen lowered his eyes and called his mother, but he didn't dare to look up at her.

Lan Qi waited quietly for him to continue speaking, thinking that Zuo was still unwilling to accept Fujin, and was about to let him go to Xuan Ye to fight for it, but her son said at this moment: "Emiang, do you know that Yuxi is not in good health?" Alright, I told Er Niang about something today, even if Huang Ama forces me in the future, I will not agree."

"Just tell me." Lan Qi nodded.

Only then did the fourth elder brother slowly raise his gaze to meet his mother's. The young man's eyes were full of determination, and he said solemnly word by word: "Yuxi is not in good health. If you can't be with your son for the rest of your life, please promise me, mother-in-law. Continuing my life and marrying a second wife, Yuxi is the only mistress of my family in this life."

Lan Qi's chest tightened, and she felt pain for some reason. Seeing her son speechless, Yinzhen continued: "In the future, even if Huang Ama and Er Niang force me to have a successor, I won't nod. The son doesn't dare to hurt the relationship between father and son, mother and son, but Er Niang, you and Huang Ama want to spend the rest of your life, and Yuxi is the only one who will accompany your son for the rest of his life."

"You are affectionate and righteous, Er Niang is very happy, Er Niang has heard about it, in the future..." But Lanqi was interrupted by Yinzhen before she finished speaking, and he said seriously, "There is no future, Er Niang, Did you hear what your son said? Er Niang, what Huang Ama can't give you, I want to give it all to Yuxi."

Lan Qi's eyes flickered, but she didn't know what her son was talking about, so she calmed down and heard him murmuring: "Why doesn't Huang Ama allow you to be the main wife?"

For a while, Lan Qi couldn't tell whether she heard it from her son or imagined it herself. Seeing that Yinzhen was serious and didn't repeat similar words, she didn't dare to ask her more. With such a wish, it came out with the son's words unknowingly, but it depended on Yinzhen, and it was he who said it.This is something that must never be said, she can't reason with her son, even if she really heard it, she can only pretend that nothing happened.

Yinzhen got up, and said goodbye: "My son is going back to the study, and I will give lectures in the Wenhua Hall in the first month. If I do well, I won't have to go to the study every day. Huang Ama will give my son a serious errand. Do."

Lan Qi nodded and replied: "Your house is about to be completed, and you can move out in February or March. You and Yuxi have to be prepared. After all, Emiang can take care of you in the palace. After all, you will be taken care of when you leave the palace." You have to rely on yourself, and you will truly stand on your own in the future.”

What warms her heart is that her son doesn't seem to be in a hurry to move out, and Yinzhen's slight dependence on her still satisfies her desire to be a mother.

After leaving the Yonghe Palace, the fourth elder brother came to the study on foot, Xiao Hezi asked him a few words, talking about taking concubines, Yinzhen was still unhappy after all, Xiao Hezi wanted to relieve the master, but unexpectedly made the fourth elder brother tense After that, he didn't dare to talk anymore, and waited quietly all the way to the study.

But as soon as he entered the study, he could hear laughter and yelling, the fourth elder brother entered the door, and saw the fourteenth elder brother chasing the two little eunuchs with a big ink-soaked brush in his hand, yelling: "Give me Stop and let me paint your faces, and if you run again, someone will beat you."

Later, the seventh elder brother stood in front of the door and called the fourteenth brother to stop making trouble, but Yinti didn't listen, and finally a little eunuch tripped and fell to the ground. He immediately rode on him and painted the black ink all over The eunuch was all over his face, shouting: "I'm going to exorcise you, thank me quickly."

When the little guy was proud, his stamina was suddenly picked up vigorously, and he was lifted up. He turned his head and saw that it was the fourth brother, and his eyes widened in fright. : "Fourth brother let me go, let me go."

Since the third elder brother left the palace to build a mansion, he has not often entered the study room. The fourth elder brother is still living in the palace and has no official business, so he spends most of his time in the study room. He is also the oldest elder brother in the study room.Although the fourteenth elder brother is still young, the emperor let him enter the study early. The original intention was that when the fourth elder brother was still there, he could take care of his younger brothers, especially the tenth and thirty-fourth were children under the knee of the concubine De, so that Si elder brother is the best.

At the moment, some older brothers are practicing calligraphy and painting, and the younger ones are reciting books in their classrooms. In the study, the masters have all gone to the Qianqing Palace to report their duties. For a while, no one is restraining them, and the little guys run away. Come and paint with my brothers, it doesn’t matter at all, but the fourteenth brother is too naughty, it’s rare that no one cares about sitting still and memorizing, grabbing a pen and running around the world, the fifth and seventh brothers don’t care about it at all. They couldn't call him, and because the fourteenth brother was the child of the empress concubine De, these sensible elder brothers also knew a little about the worldly affairs here, so they let the fourteenth brother mess around.Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother who came back halfway bumped into him, and saw him riding the little eunuch and drawing on other people's faces with a brush.

At this moment, the fourteenth brother was brought in and placed on the ground. The little guy rolled over and got up by himself, looking at his brother with dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of him. He puffed up his cheeks and confronted his brother. The elder brother asked angrily: "Who is following Brother Fourteen today?"

Including the little eunuch whose face was smeared, there were three people who came from the Yonghe Palace pleading guilty at the door. The fourth elder brother was about to scold someone, but the thirteenth elder brother suddenly stood up and said, "Fourth elder brother, Xiao Yunzi followed me, he didn't Mess with Yinti, don't punish him."

Seeing that Yinxiang was protecting his slave, the fourth elder brother had the courage to say what he wanted to say even though his eyes were filled with fear of his elder brother. With a sinking heart, he turned around and said to Yinti: "The pen is used for writing and painting, when did it become your toy, don't allow such a thing again, do you hear me?"

Fourteenth elder brother looked at his elder brother proudly with his mouth raised and his chin raised high, but he himself got angry and said with a snort, "I want to exorcise them, don't I use a brush instead of drawing with my hands?"

Yinzhen's anger, which had just been extinguished, was revived in an instant because of a word from his younger brother. He turned around and took the ruler from the lesson plan. This three-finger-wide mahogany ruler was given by the emperor to the Taifus for admonishing the princes, but it is the emperor after all. This ruler is at most used to knock on the table and chairs to make a sound to warn them, it is never really used to hit people, but now the fourth elder brother pointed the ruler at the fourteenth elder brother and yelled at him: "Put your hand out!"

The fourth elder brother has always been serious, and he is indeed a gentle elder brother on weekdays, but he never smiles in the study. The brothers dare to joke with the fourth elder brother when they leave the study door, but no one dares to be presumptuous in front of him in the study. Seeing that the fourth brother was going to beat the fourteenth brother right now, the younger ones were already frightened, while the fifth and seventh elder brothers didn't dare to dissuade them at all.

It was the first time that the mahogany ruler was used to beat people. When the crackling sound came out, it was accompanied by the cry of the fourteenth elder brother resounding throughout the study room. Later, they were still pulled away by the crowd, but Elder Fourteen did not stop crying. Seeing that the disturbance was out of control, he had to send the young Elder Fourteen back first.

In the Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi was quiet, she took a red paper and wrote a few blessings to give as a new year gift, she was chatting and laughing with Huanchun Luzhu and the others, when suddenly she heard crying, and her mother was yelling terribly , the mother immediately heard the cry of her son, the voice came from far to near, and a maid in front of the door ran in and said: "Ma'am, Brother Fourteen has been sent back, crying so hard."

Lan Qi put down her pen, hurriedly kicked off her shoes, and was about to go out. Huan Chun and the others quickly followed up to put on her shoes. When the curtain was opened, Elder Fourteen had already been hugged. She immediately stepped forward to hug her youngest son, and knelt down Squat down and let him sit on his lap, look up and down, and ask anxiously: "What's wrong with Yinti, where did he fall, where did he get hurt?"

Lan Qi thought that her son was injured in the study, but Yinti's beard and tail were not damaged at all, and her body was clean as if she had fought with others. It was strange crying like this. When she inadvertently squeezed her son's hand, When I grasped the palm that was more swollen than usual, I opened it and saw that there were red ridges all over the palm, and the wrist and fingers were not spared. I spread the other hand, and there were several. It was obvious that my son had been beaten.

So Lan Qi felt certain, she got up and carried her son back to the house, and wanted to put him down and sit down, but the fourteenth elder brother kept getting into her mother's arms, hugging her mother's neck and refusing to let go, Lan Qi couldn't hold him back, so she could only hug him to coax him not to cry. Now that her son was agitated, she couldn't understand even if she knew how to ask.

The crying child finally calmed down in the mother's arms. Huanchun had already brought a hot handkerchief, carefully wiped away the tears on Brother Fourteen, and coaxed him, saying, "Brother Fourteen, don't cry anymore. This servant has done a good job." For food, I’m waiting for you to come back, how about we go have some snacks?”

Yinti couldn't lift his spirits, sobbed softly on his mother's chest, Lan Qi patted him coaxingly and said, "Don't cry, just tell Er Niang if you have something to say." She winked at Huanchun and motioned her to inquire about it. what happened.

Huanchun smiled and said to go get fourteenth elder brother some refreshments, and when he came out, he asked someone what happened, and heard that fourth elder brother had beaten his younger brother, but he didn't think it was a big deal, and turned around to report to the master, someone came in at the door , but seeing the maids surrounded by four Fujins came again.

Huanchun stepped forward to wait for Si Fujin to take off his cloak, saw that Fujin was only wearing the usual clothes in the house, so he was in a hurry to go out, so he took Fujin to wait, took out the gown of his mother when he was young, and put it on for her, carefully reminding : "If you break in like this, the empress will be angry. If you don't dress decently, you will be laughed at."

Yuxi touched the clothes on her body, fortunately many of her clothes were given by her mother-in-law on a daily basis, and her mother-in-law might not be able to see the extra one, so she thanked Huanchun in peace of mind, and then went back to her mother-in-law's bedroom, when she heard the fourteenth brother crying Sobs and sobs.

Although Lan Qi didn't know that it was Yinzhen who beat her younger brother, how many people in this palace could or would beat her son?Seeing Yuxi running towards him now, he knew in his heart that his younger son was beaten by his own brother.
