Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Xuanye couldn't laugh or cry, hugged his daughter to blame: "Silly girl, how can you say such a thing?"

Wen Xian shouted from the side: "Oops, Erniang is about to lose her temper, Huang Ama, let's run."

Lan Qi stood still, her cheeks bulging with anger, but the little girl rushed over, slammed into her arms softly, put her arms around her waist and said sweetly: "Emiang is not angry, Huang Ama likes Emiang the most." Yes, Huang Ama said that the most beautiful person in the world is Er Niang."

Lan Qi couldn't help showing a smile, Xuan Ye led Wen Xian to come, and smiled at her: "Do you believe it?"

"The emperor spoils them so much." Lan Qi said with a straight face, "They are beating and biting now, and others will not say that the emperor has not disciplined them well, but they are all targeting the concubines. You can't stop them today, you have to make them know how powerful rattan is."

Xiao Chen'er turned around and wrapped around Xuan Ye and said, "Huang Ama took away the rattan, Erniang is always scaring us."

The sister next to me also said: "Shishi said that he would not write properly, so Er Niang put the cane on the table and looked at him, but he was so frightened that his hands shook and he couldn't write well. It was Er Niang's fault."

Seeing that the two girls were getting more and more outrageous, Xuan Ye reprimanded them coldly: "You guys deserve to be punished for doing something wrong, and you dare to sue my mother, go back to your own room to reflect, and I'll ask you guys later."

The two girls didn't dare to talk back to their father, so they obediently saluted and walked away with the nurse. Lan Qi was also a little unhappy, so she turned around and went to the inner hall. Xuan Ye slid up to follow, and said softly: "You are too presumptuous, I am here, you Go first?"

Lan Qi glanced at him: "If the tigress is like this, you tell the daughters that the concubine is their mother-in-law, and you don't want them to make fun of it."

The two entered the door one after the other, and the emperor immediately threw off his superior airs and coaxed her: "I can't see the children a few times throughout the year, and if I don't coax them, I dare not get close to me anymore. My flesh and blood see my father like a mouse seeing a cat. I feel very uncomfortable. They cling to me like this, and when I feel happy, I lose my temper when I speak. You will also be angry? I still envy you, being with the children every day .”

Seeing Xuan Ye's nervous face, Lan Qi couldn't help but feel sorry for him, who obviously has many children but rarely enjoys family relationships, so she lightly tapped his lips with her finger and said, "Then there won't be a next time."

Xuan Ye happily agreed, and secretly took another sip on her face, but he was not greedy for playfulness, but said to Lan Qi seriously: "I want to make a princess for the prince, and you will have to worry about this matter. "

Lan Qi was really surprised when he mentioned this all of a sudden. In the early years, there were occasional discussions about the candidate for the crown princess inside and outside the palace, but after a few years the emperor did not move, and everyone's enthusiasm gradually faded.

Now, two Fujins have been accepted in Yuqing Palace, and four children have been born successively. Although the two daughters are not guaranteed, the emperor now has two grandchildren in total, both of which are located in Yuqing Palace.On the side of Yuqing Palace above the emperor's heir, Fujin has made the most contributions. Half of the people think that Li Jiashi will become a princess in the future, but the other half think that her background is not noble enough. Make a few.

Lan Qi vaguely remembered that the emperor had a suitable candidate in his mind, but they hadn't talked about it seriously, and she wasn't curious about it. Are you preparing for a general election, or do you already have a favorite?"

Xuan Ye sighed softly: "I chose it in the early years. I just waited for the child to grow up, and it was finally the right age. Last year, her Ama died."

Lan Qi tilted her head and thought about which high-ranking family lost her last year. Before she remembered, Xuan Ye said: "The daughter of the third-class Earl Wen Bing, the Guerjia family, is 13 years old. After all, she is still young." point."

Since the downfall of the Aobai Party, the reputation of the Guerjia family in the imperial court has not been as good as before. Although they are the nobles of the upper three banners, but under the influence of the emperor's harem, the Hesheli, Niu Hulu, Tong Jia and others The Nalan family is the family that has been the dominant force in the past few years. Almost none of the important female family members in the harem and royal family came from their family.Although the same surname is different from the clan, there is always some involvement, but now the emperor wants to establish a crown princess, and the person who was selected early on is actually from the Guerjia clan.

Lan Qi thought to herself, this is the 34th year of Kangxi, the situation of the court should be changed, the old ministers are often proud of themselves, for the emperor, old ministers or new ministers, whoever is obedient and easy to order, is a good minister.Now that the elder brothers have gradually grown up, they have integrated into the court one after another, and run errands with the old and young ministers. Maybe it's time for some fresh faces for the people who discuss politics at the bottom of the Qing Dynasty.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Lan Qi in a daze, Xuan Ye waved her hand in front of her eyes. Lan Qi smiled and prevaricated, "The concubine is calculating how much money the prince's wedding will cost. I don't know when the emperor plans to hold the wedding? Concubine Elder Sister He Rong is going to spend a lot of money, and calculate how much it will cost, of course the prince's wedding can't be spared, otherwise those officials from the Ministry of Rites will roll their eyes again."

Xuan Ye smiled happily: "Do you also know that they talk about you?"

Lan Qi's eyes widened, and she didn't have any contact with foreign ministers, how could she know what the outsiders said, but she was very curious, she shook her head and asked: "How can the concubine know, who the emperor said they were, and what did they say about the concubine?" gone?"

"I'm not referring to you by name. It means that there are more and more people in my harem, but I don't see the rising expenses. They all praise me for having a virtuous wife." Xuan Ye said with a smile, "Those who handed it over to praise the prosperous age are flattering. There are quite a few of them mentioned.”

Lan Qi felt a little happy in her heart, no matter whether she stayed or not, she really took good care of this family for Xuan Ye, she was happy and hurried back to the topic: "Since the child has filial piety, is it appropriate to get married now?"

Xuan Ye said: "It is said that there is no problem if you get married within one year. If it is over a year, you have to hold the filial piety period before you can hold a wedding. But you also know that this kind of rule is made by people. How do people say it?" Whatever it is, now that I want them to get married, I can do it no matter what."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "But since the emperor said she was too young, why didn't you wait a little longer, she will only be fifteen or sixteen years old in two or three years."

Xuan Ye shook his head, with a hint of worry on his brows, and said slowly: "I was not in a hurry at first, but wanted to cultivate talents first. Shi Wenbing has been transferred several times, and he has made achievements in Hangzhou and Fuzhou. The commander of the Han army wanted to keep him in the capital for reuse from now on, but unfortunately he died of illness on the way to Beijing. I am saddened to lose talent, and I have to hurry up to marry her daughter to the prince. This is the faction that needs to be raised Power, you can’t give up halfway.”

Lan Qi stared blankly at Xuan Ye, pursed her lips and said nothing, just now the emperor had only a few hundred words, which were all about government affairs, although Lan Qi is now more and more used to Xuan Ye casually mentioning a few words to her, but She can't lose her sense of propriety, it's her duty to be modest when the emperor speaks.Besides, it was she herself who inadvertently brought up this topic just now, and she was already wrong in the first place.

But Xuan Ye saw that she was a little nervous, and realized that what he had said was too much, so he smiled and said, "Just heard it, you are so stupid, you can't remember."

"Yes, too stupid to remember." Lan Qi smiled coquettishly, but still said seriously, "The emperor first tells the concubine the date of the wedding for the prince, and the other concubine has nothing to do with it."

"It is planned that in May and June, the Qin Tianjian will go to the Ningshou Palace to select the specific date together with the Queen Mother. At that time, you don't have to go, and you have the right to avoid suspicion." Xuan Ye already had a plan in mind, and ordered Lan Qi one by one. Do it, let her wait for the person appointed by the Queen Mother to handle this matter under the imperial decree, and then work with Concubine Rong before it is too late.In the early years, Nazai Fujin was assisted by Prince Yu Fujin, but this time it is a formal establishment of the crown prince, and the queen mother must come forward, and Lan Qi and the others are just helping the queen mother.

Lan Qi was suspicious and said: "The emperor will go to Jingyang Palace to sit in another day, and tell Sister Rong personally. Every time, the concubine sends the message, and Sister Rong inevitably has thoughts in her heart. You also said it last time. Sister Rong has worked hard and done a lot. .”

Xuan Ye agreed, and because many things can only be discussed after they are done, there is nothing to say now, just happened to Huan Chun came to report, saying that the princesses asked her to ask Huang Ama, if she can come out to play after she has finished her reflection, The father's heart softened immediately, and he hurriedly called his darlings over, coaxing them to apologize to his mother.Wen Xian is getting older and has airs, while Xiao Chen'er is so clingy that Xuan Ye can't put it down.

Lan Qi asked why Wen Xian fought with her sister, Wen Xian refused to tell at first, then she asked her younger daughter, but Chen'er looked at her sister, hid in Ama's arms for a long time and said delicately: "My sister won't let me talk about it."

Xuan Ye was afraid that Lan Qi would be angry, so he asked the eldest daughter gently: "Is there anything you can't say, Ama is here too, are you afraid that Er Niang will lose her temper and beat you?"

Wen Xian shook his head with a smile, and moved closer to Lan Qi intimately, but hesitated for a long time before saying: "Because Sister Sihuang bullied Wen Ke, my sister and I never said that she is the daughter of a nobleman and that she is not worthy to play with us. She scolded sister Wen Ke for these words. She scolded others because her sister broke her favorite hairpin. I couldn’t bear to argue with her for a few words, and then I started fighting, mother, it was my fault, I was the one who did it first.”

Xiao Chen'er said to Lan Qi in Xuan Ye's arms: "Sister Sihuang hit my sister, I was the one who bit her, Er Niang, I will not bite anyone in the future."

Lan Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Xuan Ye: "Nurse said, the two of them rode Kejing to fight, and Kejing is an older sister, even if they fight, they probably won't do anything to them. These two little girls are amazing, Your Majesty You didn't see Kejing's distressed appearance, and no one else could believe that the 16-year-old girl told the two of them to bully her."

Xiao Chen'er said to his father solemnly: "Ama Huang, Sister Si Huang rushed over to hit her, but when she tripped, I rushed up and bit her."

Coaxing the daughters, Xuan Ye naturally didn't care about these things, taught them not to do this in the future, and it was over, but when the daughters left, he asked Lan Qi in private: "Could it be that Wen Ke has been bullied in Yikun Palace?"
