Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

With tears in her eyes, Yuxi told her mother that she had already noticed that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Song were fighting secretly, but Mrs. Song was just flamboyant and talkative, and did not really do any evil. deep.Yuxi is always careful in front of her, and she is wary of being tricked by her in her words, but Song is so careless, it's strange if she doesn't follow her way.

Jue Luoshi was terrified when he heard this, and asked softly: "Did you tell Empress Defei about this?"

Yuxi shook her head: "I dare not."

Jue Luo said worriedly: "Although the empress is in the deep palace, she either already knows how many of her eyeliners are in this house, but she doesn't point out you, or she doesn't care to know, but if this continues, things will become more and more. Everyone outside knows about it, but you can't hide it. Er Niang advises you, you can't hide it by yourself for the first time, let alone you have lost a child, you have an idea, if you don't have an idea in your heart, just go and tell Empress Defei, let her tell you what to do in the future. Although Er Niang is powerful at home, those women are jealous of you, Amado, who do you love, how can you calculate more things like your royal family?"

As soon as her mother called, Yuxi didn't know how much she listened to. She only knew that this time she was in trouble, she had no idea, and she didn't even have an explanation for Yinzhen and her mother-in-law. Don't want to see her so much, why don't you even give her an adopted daughter?

Jue Luo sighed again: "I just went to Xiyuan for a while, Li Fangfujin was polite and polite, Er Niang is someone who has been here, I can see the look on her face and the spirit in her eyes, she is in good health, at most she is a little bit of a pregnant woman. You can't feel comfortable, it can be seen that she is cheating like this, and she is hiding from Song Gege to bite her. Yuxi, you have to be careful, if this matter is not properly explained, Song's confinement will really rush to Xiyuan to make trouble , don't make trouble in Mrs. Li's stomach anymore."

Yuxi's expression was startled, and she said with firm eyes: "How can it be, Li's baby must be kept anyway, otherwise what is it called, Yinzhen must make people laugh outside." While speaking, Seeing that her mother was meaningful and looking at herself firmly, she looked back helplessly and timidly, and murmured, "I see, I will enter the palace some other day."

As the night deepened, I felt that it was inconvenient for Luo Shi to stay in the fourth elder brother's mansion for a long time. The young man who heard the report said that the fourth elder brother had left the gate of the imperial city, so he also prepared the sedan chair, put his daughter to bed, and left in a hurry.

And at this moment in the Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace had a family banquet, and the father and son had a good time. It is rare to have such a happy meal. Except for the fifteenth elder brother in Qixiang Palace, who can't come to accompany the driver, from the prince, the eldest elder brother to the fourteenth elder brother Brothers are all here, thirteen children, only the sixth elder brother is missing, looking at the newly married fifth elder brother in high spirits, if Yin Zuo is still there, he should be married.

Xuan Ye naturally felt sorry for Lan Qi, and stayed in the Warm Pavilion after the family banquet to sober up for a while, then took the warm sedan chair to Qianqing Palace, did not send anyone to stop before, and arrived suddenly, inside Lan Qi was serving the two lively little ancestors, ten 34 The yelling could be heard from outside the door, and as soon as Xuanye entered the door, Yinzhen smiled: "Emiang, Huang Ama said that when I grow up, I will take me to the grassland to hunt, and then sit on the ground and roast the sheep, have a good time. Drink, if you don’t get drunk, you won’t return.”

He approached his son's house, but he heard Lan Qi say: "When you grow up, won't Mrs. Ama grow old? Drinking too much hurts your health. It is right to accompany Ama to hunt. Drinking is not allowed. Which of you If you dare to make Amma drunk, just wait for me to deal with you."

The two sons were chattering, and Xuan Ye couldn't hear them clearly outside, so he signaled the people below to tell his mother that he was coming, and then he went straight to Lan Qi's room, and rested on the warm kang, he heard the hurried footsteps outside, and his eyes Seeing the wicker figure walk in, Lan Qi was not in a hurry to find her, but focused on looking at her desk case.

Xuan Ye glanced at her, didn't notice anything strange, instead he said with a smile: "What good things are you hiding, are you afraid that I will see it first?"

Lan Qi quickly regained her composure, and saw the emperor lying on the kang in thick clothes, familiarly coming up to untie Xuan Ye's coat, complaining that he didn't know how hot or cold he was, and didn't know how to take off two coats when the room was so warm, Xuan Ye blamed her for doing so Shan Bo moved here from his son's room, and said, "It's just these few accidents that are the easiest to catch cold."

Lan Qi frowned and said: "The emperor has made a few efforts to talk about his concubines, but he can undress himself, and he insists on others to worry about it."

Xuan Ye deliberately put on a tiger face: "I can't say anything about you. If you don't serve me, who else will you wait for?"

But Lan Qi was startled by these words, she stepped back with the clothes in her hands, bowed her knees to the ground while begging for sins, provoking Xuan Ye to annoy her: "I'm just kidding you, do you have to be serious?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Lan Qi said solemnly, "I have something to tell you, it's not a joke, nor is it to be angry with you."

"Then you also get up and say that although the room is warm, the ground is still cold." Xuan Ye got up, picked her up, and asked gently, "What is it that makes you so nervous, about Yinzhen?"

Lan Qi shook her head, put down her clothes, walked towards the desk, told Xuan Ye the origin of the letter, and carefully pulled out the letter from under the jade ruler. The yellowed and brittle paper was soaked in the traces of time. Holding both hands to Xuan Ye, she said solemnly: "I don't know that this is a letter to the emperor, so some right and wrong may have leaked out of the palace, so I read the letter first without authorization, but when I saw the first few sentences of the letter, I didn't dare to go any further. Look, the concubines only know that it is a letter from Concubine Wen Gui to the emperor, but they don't know what is said in the letter."

Xuan Ye took it without thinking, "How could I not believe you?" Then he opened the letter.

Lan Qi stood aside, thinking about something in her head, Xuan Ye said: "This is not a letter from the imperial concubine, it is from her sister."

"The Queen Mother?"

"See for yourself."

Lan Qi stared blankly at Xuan Ye, noncommittal, but Xuan Ye stuffed the letter into her hand, and said calmly, "Look, it's nothing."

She gently answered yes, then carefully picked up the letter paper, Xuan Ye stood beside her holding a candle, her eyes suddenly became much brighter, and when she read the first few words of the letter again, her heart was still pounding.

The letter said: "Long live respect, my concubine Niu Hulu's head bowed. The moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights of thousands of houses, and thousands of words on the pen. I don't know where to start. Today I am bestowed with a Western clock. It is really the most beloved thing of the Holy One. The concubine is terrified. She has been in the palace for five years and has no heirs. Fortunately, she has been cared for in every possible way. The concubine Hui Cun is somewhat thin-faced. During the period, all kinds of joys, sorrows, ups and downs, all become unforgettable memories. But all the sensuality Dogs and horses leave the arena, people are quiet at night, sitting alone and listening to the clock, every bit of it is in the heart, all kinds of fears are condensed, repenting for five years, but I have emptied the holy grace, and I am speechless and tearful."

"The Niu Hulu family has been inherited by the emperor for generations, and now, the power is in the court and the people despise the imperial power. The courtiers and concubines are disloyal because they are on the side of the king. Unfilial. If you are disloyal or unfilial, you still have to treat each other with sincerity and meticulous care for a long time. The ministers and concubines are so terrified that they can't rest day and night. Today, I have a sudden understanding of the way of serving the emperor, and I regret my mistake."

"From now on, the king must be the most important thing, and the husband must be the first. Niu Hulu's family has become the past, and the concubine is only the concubine of Yikun Palace. I have sent a letter rashly, and the vulgar language is afraid of polluting the audience. However, the concubine Loyalty to the king can be learned from heaven and earth, the meaning of admiration for the king can be expressed by the sun and the moon, words are limited, ministers and concubines are willing to serve the king with their bodies, I hope long live to come to Yikun Palace, and listen to my concubine's heart."

At the signing place, Lan Qi couldn't help but read aloud: "Concubine Yikun Gong Zhaofei, pause again." After she finished speaking, her heart ached for some reason, and tears fell from the corner of her eyes. Xuan Ye stood aside and asked with a smile, " why are you crying?"

She looked up at Xuan Ye with tears in her eyes, her hands trembled slightly, and said with a sob: "This is a letter from Empress Xiaozhao, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Xuan Ye smiled lightly, put down the candle, pulled Lan Qi to sit down on the couch, wiped away her tears with great distress, nodded and said: "It's her letter, and this is also her handwriting, I recognize it. But this letter I I haven't seen it before, you can see that the envelope is blank, it can be seen that after she finished writing this letter, she didn't send it to me for a long time."

"It was written when the emperor rewarded Empress Xiaozhao with a western clock?"

"That Mid-Autumn Festival, I rewarded her with a western clock, and she was very happy." Xuanye said calmly, "But Huigui was pregnant that year, and Huigui was different from now, when she was young, she was considerate, gentle and understanding People like me, serving me by my side is very much according to my wishes, and I have always been jealous of the Niu Hulu family. Apart from the queen, the Huigui, Ronggui, and even several promised and official women were more fond of her than her. The letter is exaggerated, I didn't treat her that well, that day when I rewarded her with the Western clock, it was the emperor's grandmother who asked me not to be too indifferent to Yikun Palace, but she was very happy, she probably thought that I would change my mind, but..."

Lan Qi squeezed the letter, without words, but she couldn't stop her tears, Xuan Ye panicked instead, took the letter from her hand and put it aside, and said seriously: "Why are you sad, do you think I'm a ungrateful person? "

She shook her head: "Why should the emperor like someone he doesn't like?"

"Isn't that enough? Don't cry."

"The concubine didn't cry, the tears fell on her own." Lan Qi said to him with sadness in her eyes, "If the empress had handed this letter to you back then, you and the empress would have cleared up the grievances between you and the empress, maybe she lost her early years. Even if she had no relationship with you during the years when the empress served the palace, she was worthy of the dignity and hard work of being a harem. During the years when the concubine was in charge of the sixth palace, I understand better how much effort the empress has spent, but why didn't she give you the letter, could it be that Dong Yun intercepted it?"

Xuan Ye shook his head and said: "You said that the letter was hidden in the hidden compartment of the jewelry box, maybe the jewelry box was the queen's belongings, and Dong Yun kept it by her side unintentionally, she may not know that there is this letter, if she intercepted it, It should be ruined, so why keep it? Maybe after she wrote the letter that night, she found out that I had recruited someone else, or went to visit the pregnant Huigui, or some pressure was suddenly given to her at home. She put the letter away and did not show it to me after all."

Lan Qi's expression was fixed, and she actually said the words she had hidden for more than ten years: "If I had given the letter to the emperor early in the morning, why would I leave that sentence, why would I never see you again in my next life?"
