Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Such a sentence broke the tense atmosphere. Chen Chang was laughing, and his good-looking face was gradually revealed. Both Concubine Rong and Lan Qi felt that although Chen was not a stunning beauty at first glance, she felt more comfortable the more she looked at her. Showing a little temperament, lively but not ostentatious, the kind that can make the two of them get close, but Concubine Rong pointed to Wang Changzai and Yuan and promised: "When I first entered the palace, they were all cute and pitiful little rabbits. Now One or two are more cunning than foxes, you took care of Wang Changzai during pregnancy and childbirth, did she thank you when she came to Yonghe Palace after confinement?"

Lan Qi smiled lightly and said: "I thanked you when we met elsewhere, not what my sister said. And I don't care if she thank you or not, the emperor's heir in her belly is the emperor's child, and I am taking care of the little elder brother for the emperor. "

Concubine Rong laughed that she could see it openly, and soon Ji Xin said that there was a message from outside the door, and the two complained that they didn't know where the trouble was caused, but they saw that it was someone from the Qianqing Palace who came to kowtow to Concubine Rong with a happy face and said: " There is news from the Bahrain Department that Princess Rongxian is happy."

Concubine Rong and Lan Qi looked at each other, Lan Qi repeatedly expressed her joy, and urged Concubine Rong to go to Ningshou Palace to announce the good news to the Queen Mother, and then watched Concubine Rong go to Ningshou Palace outside the gate of Jingyang Palace. Huanchun talked about Rongxian, and asked if Princess Chunxi was about to give birth, and felt that the time was passing by, and the delicate little dolls in the past were going to be mothers.Suddenly Huan Chun grabbed Master, stopped and said softly: "Ma'am, Chen Chang is waiting outside our door."

Lan Qi also saw clearly, and the people on the other side of the door saw the movement here, and hurriedly stepped aside to stand aside, Chen Chang was alone and accompanied by two maids, Lan Qi remembered that she hadn't seen him in Jingyang Palace just now. Who can't help but walk forward slowly and ask: "There are no eunuchs to guide you?"

Chen Changzai blessed his body and said: "They all stayed outside the gate of Yikun Palace staring at Sister Wang and knelt down."

Lan Qi asked: "Sister? Are you called Sister Wang?"

Chen Changzai replied: "Yes, my concubine is one year younger than Sister Wang."

Lan Qi sighed in her heart how young she was, and said: "She is just an official woman, you should have your own dignity as a permanent presence, the title of sister and sister is intimate in private, you have to weigh it in front of people, don't lose your sense of proportion .”

"The concubine has made a note." Chen Changzai knelt on the ground and said in his mouth, "Concubine Virtue, please return to the palace and ascend her seat, so that the concubine can salute you."

Lan Qi politely declined: "I have already saluted in Jingyang Palace, so there is no need."

Chen Changzai raised his head in a daze, and said timidly but firmly: "The empress dowager said that all the ministers and concubines in the east and west palaces have to go there, so the empress's concubines from the Yonghe Palace also came to pay the big ceremony. "

Lan Qi laughed at the newcomer's uprightness in her heart, and said to her, "Are you going to visit Qixiang Palace again? Empress Xi is the head of Qixiang Palace, Wang Chang lives with her, you are not afraid of doing something wrong matter, to be punished?"

Chen looked at Concubine De, her red lips twitched slightly: "Wang Changzai is the same as a concubine."

"You remember this clearly." Lan Qi happily asked Mrs. Chen to get up, fulfilled her wish to be seated in the main hall of Yonghe Palace, and accepted Chen Changzai's prostration again. When she got up, she looked relieved. Lan Qi called Huanchun Giving him a seat, he asked: "You have been waiting here since you left Jingyang Palace, why didn't you explain to me in Jingyang Palace that it has been more than half an hour, are you tired of standing outside?"

Huanchun asked Chen Changzai to sit down, served tea courteously, and said with a smile: "It's all because the people below are confused, why don't you come in and sit and wait, the servants will teach them when they turn around, don't take Changzai seriously."

Chen Changzai waved his hands again and again, and said anxiously: "Don't do their business, it's the concubine who wants to wait outside the door, the empress has not returned to the palace, how can the concubine come in first."

Huan Chun smiled awkwardly at her master, Lan Qi said helplessly: "You are facing my maid, why do you call yourself a concubine?"

Chen Shi pursed her lips, her expression of bewilderment was rather naive, Lan Qi thought that if she did the same to the emperor, Xuan Ye would definitely like it.Xuan Ye likes smart women, but also likes dull and simple women. This Chen Changzai seems to be more inclined to the latter.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little sour in my heart. Imagine this cute little Chang hiding in the emperor's arms, laughing and acting like a baby, and couldn't help clenching his fists in his sleeves. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down. .

"Mistress..." Chen suddenly called Lan Qi, she woke up and asked what was the matter, but Chen Changzai left his seat and knelt on the ground again, kowtowing deeply, and said, "May I do my concubine a favor?"

Lan Qi was very surprised, it was the first time they met, but after saying a few words, she asked for help. When Wang Changzai and Yuan agreed to come in, she really helped a lot. Following her favored scenery and letting all the open guns and dark arrows in the palace shoot at her, Lan Qi became more relaxed and at ease every year, but she didn't know in her heart whether this was Wang Changzai's "repayment" or not. Opening up as soon as they met was more straightforward than the two of them back then.

Chen Changzai didn't wait for Concubine De to nod, and said on the ground: "My lady said she still remembers the concubine's mother, and the concubine is very grateful. Before she went to Beijing, her mother said that she wanted to get close to Concubine De and concubine more after entering the palace. There was a relationship once, and my mother said that the Concubine De is a very kind and good person, and the concubines have no relatives in the capital, and if there is anything going on in the future, only the Concubine De Lai will take care of it."

Lan Qi smiled lightly: "Concubine Rong and I are in charge of the Sixth Palace. It is our duty to take care of the younger sisters. The important thing is that after you enter the palace, you can serve the emperor well and live in harmony with other sisters."

Chen Changzai raised her head, and her naive face suddenly became clear and capable again, and she said to Lan Qi plainly: "The palace is dangerous, and Wang Changzai put down his authority as soon as the Wang family came. Living under the same roof as her, there will definitely be more right and wrong troubles in the future. Empress, my concubine does not seek favor or glory and wealth, but only wishes to be safe in the palace so as not to cause trouble to parents at home. Where there are people, the concubine does not want to live with the Wang family. Although Wang Changzai and the concubine are the same, she must not tolerate the concubine in Wang Changzai. The concubine does not want to fight with her in the future. Her cousin by the concubine's side is the most disturbing hidden danger."

Lan Qi's heart grew cold: "In Yikun Palace, what did she say to you?"

"Everything she said was aimed at her cousin, but her eyes looked at the concubine from time to time." Chen Changzai calmed down, firmed his tone again, and kowtowed to Lan Qi: "I hope that the concubine will be perfect for the concubine."

Lan Qi smiled: "I'm surprised how there are rumors outside the palace about the Concubine De of Yonghe Palace, why did you come to beg me for this matter as soon as you entered?"

The cleverness on Chen Changzai's face disappeared immediately, and he returned to the confusion he had before, and he said after a long pause, "Because my mother said that Empress Defei is a good person."

Lan Qi asked: "So what about a good person? A good person should never refuse anyone who comes, and whoever asks her to do anything?"

Chen was quite frightened, shaking her hands vigorously in front of her chest, unable to speak in a hurry, but Lan Qi smiled and said: "Do you think you are also a good person, so you have the confidence to ask for help?" ?”

"Big, probably...yes." Chen Changzai lowered his head timidly.

Lan Qi motioned to Huan Chun to help her up, and then looked at Mrs. Chen carefully. She felt that she had a simple and honest character, but she was not stupid. What should she do when she enters the palace? Back then, Wang Chang was with them, Cao Yin and Li Xi taught them to get close to Yonghe Palace in the Forbidden City.

Lan Qi smiled casually: "Among the sisters who came to Beijing with you this time, some of them have become your juniors, such as Li Fangfujin and Song Gege in the fourth elder brother's house. What did you think at that time?"

Chen Changzai sat on the side of the stool, and replied clearly: "Mother said that I want my concubines to be at ease, and my mother said that as long as my concubines are safe, I don't care about anything else."

Lan Qi nodded silently. Although Concubine Rong didn't remember, Lan Qi clearly remembered that Mrs. Chen, the mother who Chen Changzai never forgot, was actually her stepmother, who was a few years younger than Lan Qi. Her biological mother passed away when she was born, and it was her step-wife, now Mrs. Chen, who raised her.

Although Lan Qi only remembered these things recently when she was inquiring about the background of the new couple, she did remember Mrs. Chen's gentle and modest appearance back then.Besides, since they are stepmother and stepdaughter, how can they look the same, but Chen Chang never leaves his mother, and his eyes are full of tenderness when he mentions his stepmother. They have a relationship like flesh and blood for more than ten years. Qi can be convinced.

"Your Majesty?" After receiving no response for a long time, Chen Changzai seemed unwilling to give up, fearing that the Defei Concubine would not let it go, so he boldly asked, "Can you arrange for my concubines to live elsewhere? It doesn't matter anywhere. It's good for the Wang family to separate."

Lan Qi smiled, holding her chin: "Then go to Qixiang Palace, since it doesn't matter where you are."

Chen Changzai was stunned, his face was flushed red, and he mumbled a few words: "Ma'am, Wang Changzai is right there."

Huan Chun was on the side, looking in surprise at his master's intention to tease the newcomer. It could be seen that Chen Changzai seemed to be in the master's eyes, but the master laughed and said: "You say it, it doesn't matter anywhere, as long as you don't talk to Wang Shi together."

Chen Changzai was powerless to refute, but he actually said: "Yes, it was said by the concubine."

Lan Qi smiled, and said to her: "I came out of Zhongcui Palace, and the room in the backyard there is still vacant now. In Zhongcui Palace, the concubine, Bu Guiren, and Dai Guiren are all sisters who are very easy to get along with. If you are willing, I will tell Concubine Rong, and you will move to Zhongcui Palace."

Chen Changzai was overjoyed, his face seemed to have spring back to the earth, he was smiling so happily, he wanted to jump up while sitting, but suddenly he came back to his senses, and hurriedly fell to the ground to thank Empress Defei, Lan Qi looked down at her, But he said calmly: "But if you cause any trouble to Zhong Cui Palace in the future, what happened to the royal lady today will also happen to you."

This once again frightened Mrs. Chen, and when she finally left, Huan Chun asked Lan Qi: "Why did your empress send Chen Changzai to Empress Duan, Empress Duan should blame you."

But Lan Qi said: "The emperor must like her like this. If she is born with a boy and a half girl, she can be raised in Zhongcui Palace, so that Sister Duan and the others can have a sustenance to relieve their boredom."
