Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

At that time, Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Did Bu Guiren tell you that we treat her like a daughter? She is younger than Chunxi Duanjing. If the Emperor hadn't finally recruited her now, she would be like a girl by her side." .”

Lan Qi told her that when Chen Changzai was lucky enough to conceive the emperor's heir, the real child would be a man and a half woman in the future, and she would definitely find ways to let the emperor keep the child in the Zhongcui Palace in the future, so that the sisters in the Zhongcui Palace could A child was relieved, and the concubine Duan sighed and said, "You are so considerate and thoughtful, the few of us can live comfortably in Zhongcui Palace, all thanks to your thoughtfulness."

And Lan Qi's troubles don't stop there. Since the empress dowager passed away, she has taken over the affairs of the palace bit by bit. How many days and nights did she spend looking at those various accounts, and even Concubine Rong gradually let go of some things, because she felt that Lan Qi was becoming stronger and stronger, so she felt sorry for herself before willingly retiring to the second line.

But even so, the light of the Yonghe Palace is still not dazzling. No matter how much the emperor loves Concubine De, no matter how well she manages the affairs of the Sixth Palace, the Wuya Lanqi in people's eyes will always be so low-key and gentle, as long as she doesn't touch her The bottom line of the palace rules, as long as you don't do anything against the righteous way, anyone can get a smile from her.But most people will feel inferior, timid and unwilling. Even if the gate of Yonghe Palace is open, few people dare to really get close to her.

In April, the renovation of Yuqing Palace was completed. The palace pavilion built under the supervision of the former emperor was newly decorated inside and out. After looking at the halls and pavilions where the concubine lived in the future, she went to the palaces of side Fujin and Wen Fujin.

The decorations in the two side rooms are indeed simple, and they dare not compare with the dignity of the crown princess. The queen mother sat in the side Fujin's room, hugged the emperor's grandson and said to them: "Although the crown princess is young, she is the eldest daughter of the family. There are two younger sisters under her, who have been raising siblings for their parents at home. They lost their father only last year. For half a year, they assisted her mother-in-law to take care of the family affairs. Don't bully her when she is young."

Hearing the words, Zan Fujin and Wen Fujin hurriedly bowed their knees to reply, and vowed to serve the princess faithfully and never cause any bullying. I have heard vaguely that there will be a crown prince in the future, but you must know how to restrain yourself, otherwise she will use the family law to punish you for your crimes, and the face of being with the crown prince for a few years will be over."

These words made the two concubines very nervous, Concubine Yi smiled and said: "The Crown Princess is really doted on by all means. Since you come from a famous family, you must be dignified and broad-minded, so don't worry about it."

Side Fujin bowed his head deeply and said: "I will follow the Queen Mother's teachings, and I will serve the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess wholeheartedly in the future. I dare not be negligent and presumptuous. If there are any deficiencies that I don't understand, please ask the Queen Mother to teach me more."

The Empress Dowager saw that Fujin was sincerely convinced, and she no longer felt embarrassed, she gently instructed a few things about Yuqing Palace, and she would stay soon.After leaving with the five of them, he told them to disperse in front of the door, saying that Concubine Yi and the others lived in the West Sixth Palace, so she didn't need to go to Ningshou Palace together, but left Concubine Tong behind, and asked her to go to Ningshou Palace for a while. Say something.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Lan Qi resigned from the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong at the gate of Ningshou Palace, and they walked for a few steps. Concubine Rong asked Lan Qi, "What do you think the Empress Dowager said to Concubine Tong's sister?"

Lan Qi knew Concubine Rong's thoughts. She was probably afraid that Concubine Tong would gradually take over the affairs of the Sixth Palace. When she was promoted to Concubine in the future, she would naturally be in charge of Fengyin. At that time, the palace might not need so many people to take care of housework. Concubine Rong I am afraid that the little authority that is left now will be taken back.This is not just something Concubine Rong is worried about now, she has never let go of the gossip and disputes in the palace since her early years.

She smiled: "Sister Concubine Tong is too weak-tempered, but there must always be someone of noble background in our palace to make the decision. Looking at the palace, no one can match her right now. We can't do without us, sister, don't try to be lazy, we don't have a good life to be as leisurely as Concubine Yi."

Concubine Rong was certain in her heart that she was so happy that Lan Qi said this plainly, so she broke up with her happily, and at this moment in Ningshou Palace, the queen mother was indeed asking Concubine Tong about assisting the Sixth Palace. Concubine Tong politely said as Lan Qi expected. Decline, she knows that she is not that kind of material, An Ansheng guards Chuxiu Palace, guards the decency of her family and sister, that is her greatest wish.

After Concubine Tong left Ningshou Palace that day, she went to Lan Qi's room and sat down. The two sisters talked about these things, and waited until the elder brothers came back in the evening, and even called the fourth elder brother in, so that Concubine Tong could have a look. He talks.

Yinzhen has always respected Concubine Tong as the adoptive mother's younger sister, and she was very close to Concubine Tong in the early years. Concubine Tong asked a lot about his family, and when she mentioned Li Fangfujin who was about to give birth, Concubine Tong said distressedly: "Be careful with this baby. Yes, but I see that you and Yuxi are destined to have many children and grandchildren. If there are more children in the future, the house will be too busy, and it is not easy to bother your mother. I am very free in Chuxiu Palace, so I will send the dolls here I take care of it too."

Such words were mostly polite and friendly on the surface, Yinzhen happily agreed, and they left after that, no one took it to heart.

Time flies, the prince got married in May, the grandeur of marrying the princess is really different from concubine, and it is even more luxurious than the weddings of the previous elder brothers. I have been busy for months inside and outside the palace just for one wedding , but who knew that the prince's wedding was only three days old, and the emperor took the prince and other princes to leave the imperial city to inspect the villages and towns near Gyeonggi, and did not come back until two or three days later.

The Crown Princess just entered the door, and she separated from the Crown Prince before returning on the ninth day. Although the court affairs were important, the Emperor was too anxious, so the Empress Dowager had no choice but to appease the Crown Princess in public.But the Crown Princess was very sensible, and she replied calmly: "The concubine and the prince will live together for a long time, and they will not compete for the day and night, but the important affairs of the country, the people and the common people, cannot be delayed for a moment. When the concubine was at home, I heard that the emperor's daily affairs are always on the clock. Since the crown prince is the crown prince, he must put the government first, and the concubines dare not hinder the prince. As for everything in the Yuqing Palace, from now on, the courtiers and concubines will take good care of the prince, please give your grandmother some advice."

At that time, the respectable concubines in the palace, as well as elder brothers Fujin, were all present, and they were all admired by countless people. The princess was so dignified, stable, generous and calm that people couldn't believe that she was only a 13-year-old child.I don't know how Guerjia's family raised such a magnanimous child, but unfortunately her father died of illness last year, otherwise there must be a new force in the court that will rise rapidly, and the crown prince has such a good helper, the restlessness in Yuqing Palace should be taken care of. This subsides.

After everyone dispersed in Ningshou Palace that day, Lan Qi never expected that the Crown Princess would visit Yonghe Palace first, and even gave her a big gift.Lan Qi also couldn't tell whether she should accept the gift or not, but she couldn't stop the princess from bowing down, and when both of them were seated, she was at a loss for the first time facing the junior.But the difference in status does affect everyone's attitude. Unlike the two side Fujins in the early years, the current Crown Princess is not only the mistress of Yuqing Palace, but also the future mother of the country.

The Crown Princess speaks simply and neatly, and she came to the Yonghe Palace to pay a visit to Concubine De. She also humbly asked for advice. She said that she would like to share the affairs of the harem for Concubine De. everything.

At that time, Lan Qi was just perfunctory, and when she turned around and discussed privately with Bu Guiren, she couldn't help saying: "I thought she was very stable, but in this stable, there was still a bit of a loss of proportion. Although what she said was reasonable, looking at it She is impeccable, but if you think about it carefully, a multi-minded person can pick out bad things, although I don't want to find fault with her, but I am a multi-minded person."

Even Bugui nodded and said: "She is anxious to be the master of the house, and vice versa, isn't that what she said?"

The two sisters understood and could not say those words, but the princess didn't seem to realize that if she continued to regard herself as the future mistress of the Forbidden City, someone would say that she was looking forward to the death of the emperor so that the new emperor could take the throne.

Bu Guiren added: "I haven't seen the appearance of the Crown Princess seriously, but I heard you say that her words and deeds still have that temperament, do you think she looks like a person?"

Lan Qi was puzzled for a moment, she asked with a smile who she looked like, Bu Gui smiled and said, "Like Empress Xiaozhao."

"Sister, I seem to understand." Lan Qi's mind was agitated, and she laughed, "After all, she is the crown princess, the future queen, and most people who are queens should have this kind of bearing." In her heart, she thought of Empress Xiaozhao The emotional tragedy with Xuan Ye, I don't know if the young princess can be stable and dignified. When facing the prince, she can only be a considerate little wife. The warmth and coldness of this can only be experienced by the prince himself.

Three days later, the emperor brought the crown prince back to Luan with all the elder brothers. On the way, the brothers rode horses with the prince. The third elder brother said that there was a banquet at home and invited the brothers to go. The third elder brother will not be angry, but will laugh with them about the tigress at home.Everyone invited the prince to join him, and the prince happily went, saying that after sending Huang Ama back to the palace, he would come to join in the fun.

After Shengjia returned to the imperial city, the crown prince served his father to Qianqing Palace, and then went back to Yuqing Palace to wash and change clothes. He had already mentioned to his father that he would go to San Age's mansion. Go, the prince came back and told his servants to prepare something for him to take away, and asked the princess: "Is there anything that can be given to San Fujin? If you bother their family for a drink, you should thank her."

On the side, Fujin hurriedly said: "The day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager rewarded my concubines with a pair of tassels of wealth and honor, and my concubines don't like to use tassels on weekdays. The prince might as well bring them to San Fujin as a gift."

The prince was about to nod his head, but the princess concubine scolded Fujin from the side: "How can you give away what the queen mother rewards at will, you just keep it yourself." She turned cold and asked both Fujin and Wen Fujin to retreat.

The prince didn't care about it, and when he was about to go out when he was fully dressed, the princess said: "Prince, in the future, it is better not to go in and out of my brothers' house frequently. You are the heir of the Eastern Palace, and they must not treat you like other siblings. The concubine thinks they invite you. You are just being polite, but when you go, they get in the way and gossip behind their backs."
