Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Yinzhen doesn't make sense anymore. He protects Yuxi wholeheartedly. When I go to say these words, he thinks I'm urging him." Lan Qi sighed helplessly, and said to Bugui, "I just want to talk to you to relieve boredom. There is no rush for this matter, maybe they are doing well, I just worry about it."

But the mother didn't worry about it blindly. No matter how calm and strong the young couple are, they might not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion. With her husband not letting him touch the concubine's room, she kept talking like this, Lan Qi could control the chatter inside the palace, but she couldn't control the ups and downs outside.

In the days after that, Yuxi entered the palace less and less, Qinglian said that Fujin was concentrating on taking care of the little princess every day, and seemed to be calm and fine, the couple were as loving and harmonious as ever, and the mansion loved to chew their tongues Let Qinglian take care of everything, the words from the outside are not very nice, but Fujin lives deep inside the mansion, so he can't hear anything.

At first, after hearing Qinglian's words, Lan Qi thought that the children would be fine, but in May, Yuxi brought Niantong into the palace to pay her respects. The Empress Concubine De of the Yonghe Palace said that the fourth elder brother had had a fight with Fujin in the past few days.It turned out that Fujin asked the fourth elder brother to go to the house of Li Fang Fujin and Song Gege more often, but the fourth elder brother refused to agree, and the two had quarreled loudly in the house.At that time, the little princess was by Fujin's side, and the child was so frightened that he cried loudly, but they didn't dare to go in. They only went in to coax the child when the fourth elder brother left in a fit of anger. Fujin hid in the tent and refused to see anyone.After that, I was depressed. I thought I would not be invited to enter the palace today, but I did not expect to come anyway.

Lan Qi felt heavy in her heart, but she still said to Qinglian: "Don't talk too much between them, it will cause more trouble, this matter will pass sooner or later."

Sure enough, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. People inside and outside the palace have always watched the harmony between the husband and wife in Si Age's mansion, and Si Fujin's filial piety to the concubine and empress like a mother and daughter, but they didn't know that there would be such an embarrassing day.When the Fujin and Fujin from other mansions all appeared in the palace with their stomachs upright, all the embarrassment and helplessness fell on Yonghe Palace and Si Age's Mansion. Fortunately, Si Fujin was able to calmly carry the child into the palace to say hello , when walking among the happy sister-in-law, his eyes didn't stop at them.

But the more magnanimous and decent Si Fujin behaved, the more people with broken mouths would like to find trouble from it. Here, Lan Qi came to Ningshou Palace after hearing Qinglian's words, and met Concubine Rong on the way, and the two entered the door together , When I was about to go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, I passed by the side room, and I heard Sanfujin's voice inside saying: "What else does she expect, didn't she say that she can't have children? I entered the door with her. I didn't keep the one in the early years. The two If you take care of your body every year, you will have it again. Fortunately, there are still a few goblins in my house haunting the third elder brother. I heard that the concubine in the fourth elder brother's mansion is not close to the fourth elder brother. The goblins are obedient. After all, she can't give birth, and it's useless to tie the fourth elder brother in the house."

Lan Qi looked cold, Concubine Rong turned around in embarrassment and scolded her daughter-in-law, Lan Qi was too lazy to listen to them, and went straight to the Queen Mother.

In the inner hall, the Empress Dowager was hugging Nian Tong to make her laugh, Wen Xian and Wen Chen surrounded the imperial grandmother, looking eagerly at the little niece, Yuxi sat quietly at the side, when suddenly seeing Lan Qi arrived, she got up and greeted her. Mother please be safe.

Wen Chen turned around and came running, pestering Lan Qi: "Er Niang, I want to hug Nian Tong, but the emperor's grandmother won't let me."

The queen mother said with a smile: "She is only so old, I am afraid of falling on the child."

Lan Qi sat down with the queen mother and chatted with the children, and soon held Niantong in her arms. Her little granddaughter was so exquisite and cute. Once the child was in her arms, all worries were gone. It was only then that Lan Qi thought of Yuxi who was sitting beside her.Yuxi was as peaceful as if she didn't exist, now seeing the wet nurse taking Nian Tong away, she went with her.

Wen Xian and Wen Chen were curious and new, and they also left with their sister-in-law to see their little niece. Lan Qi was staring at the door in a daze, when the queen mother called her: "Today all the children are entering the palace. Suddenly thinking of those things, I can't help but feel sorry for this child. People in the palace say that she is not healthy and can't bear children, is it true?"

"It's nothing. The imperial doctor said Lan Ying was not pregnant. Isn't she fine now?" Lan Qi said with a smile, "It's true that she is not in good health. She was willing to get sick when she was a girl. The concubine guessed it was Yinzhen loves her, and she has not been in a hurry these past few years. The children themselves don't care, but our worrying makes them annoyed."

The Empress Dowager nodded again and again: "It's good if you think about it this way, it's just that those words don't sound good, but when there will be peace in and out of the palace, if you can talk to Yuxi and persuade her to look away, I won't Talk too much."

Concubine Rong came in from the outside while talking, and said with embarrassment that San Fujin was not feeling well, and left the palace early to go back to the mansion. She smiled reluctantly at Lan Qi, if San Fujin hadn't been heard by the two sisters together Yes, otherwise Lan Qi would be angry, and Concubine Rong might think she made a fuss.

After leaving the Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong repeatedly apologized to Lan Qi, Lan Qi was not polite, and said to Sister Rong: "It is a lie to say that you are not angry, we have been sisters for more than [-] years, don't give birth to children I don't blame her for Sanfujin's temperament, but my sister should teach and persuade me a lot. I don't care about anything on my sister's side, but if the child offends others, will my sister follow her all the time? People pay for it."

Concubine Rong sighed bitterly: "I didn't listen to my words before, but now I don't take me seriously because I have a child in my stomach. In fact, I don't want to care about them at all. Don't think my words are hypocritical. I am more arrogant than you." After more than ten years in this palace, some things have already been seen through."

Lan Qi also knew that Concubine Rong was helpless, so she calmed down and said, "Since my sister has made up her mind, let them go. Let's stay in the palace well. We are with the emperor for the rest of our lives. Children have their own blessings." .”

Lan Qi didn't mention these matters to Xuan Ye except for a few private words to Sister Bu, or Lan Ying's chatter with her when she entered the palace, and the emperor seemed to no longer keep an eye on Galdan these few months, but in fact New wars are being deployed day by day.In the early summer of May, I took my elder brothers to the outskirts of the city for a military parade, and competed in riding and shooting. I even led my sons to live in Nanyuan for a few days. I was busy going in and out, but I didn’t see them. I lived in the Forbidden City for a few days until June. When the scorching heat of the month comes, it will be considered to stop.

Apart from resting in the Yonghe Palace, the emperor spent most of his time in the Qianqing Palace, served by several young concubines, and Chen Changzai was naturally a celebrity who was becoming more and more popular recently to replace Mi Noble.

It's just that the Chen family is low-key and introverted. Outside of the Qianqing Palace and the Zhongcui Palace, unless they are visiting with the concubine Duan, they hardly appear in the palace on weekdays. Because of this, even the Queen Mother pays a lot of attention to it.In contrast, nobleman Mi was even more unpopular. There were rumors in the palace that nobleman Mi was injured and his appearance was ruined. But after that, the emperor not only recruited nobleman Mi in Qianqing Palace, but also went to Qixiang Palace in person occasionally. It's broken, but it's also a fact that the favor of secret nobles is not as good as before.

But Lan Qi didn't care about the entanglement between these women. As for the secrets of the nobleman, Xuan Ye guarded them there, and she didn't need to worry about anything. On the contrary, Lan Qi felt that she was becoming more and more like a mother-in-law and a grandmother. The one who has nothing to worry about is Yinzhen's house.

That day, Qinglian sent someone to send a message, saying that Sifujin has been eating a lot of watermelon from the well water every night. Hearing that, Lan Qi was frightened. She is so weak, and eating such cold food, what is that child thinking? of?

As for Sifujin's actions, not only will it spread to the Yonghe Palace, but also her natal family will know about it. That day the emperor took his elder brothers to the school grounds, and then went to Changchun Garden to live for two days. Knowing these news, Jia took the opportunity to visit his daughter in Ah Ge's mansion.

When she entered the door in the evening, it was supposed to be the time after the meal, but she saw her daughter sitting alone in the room, with plate after plate of melons and fruits cut on the table, and she was just sitting there eating.

"Yuxi, why do you just eat this?" Jueluo was worried, but he didn't dare to scare his daughter too harshly. He sat down beside her and asked the child with a smile, "Is it because it's hot and your appetite is bad, but you can't Just eat these, these things are cold, the more you eat, the colder you will be, the more you will lose your appetite."

But Yuxi said to her mother: "Er Niang, I haven't eaten a bite of melon for several years."

Jue Luo was at a loss for words for a moment, but seeing her daughter continue to lower her head to eat the melon in her hand, with tears rolling down her face, the mother's heart was broken.She knew that in order to seek a child, Yuxi had poured down bowl after bowl of medicine all these years and ate it like a meal, without touching a single bite of cold melons, fruits and vegetables. She knew how difficult it was for her.

"Empress Defei never blamed you, and fourth elder brother never blamed you, why do you force yourself, there will always be children." Jue Luo said directly to his daughter, "Why are you torturing yourself like this?"

Yuxi looked at her mother sadly and said: "I just don't want to bother, so I want to eat the melons that have been greedy for many years. These are the melons and fruits that were tributed to the palace. They are so sweet. Would you like to try them? I am better." I haven’t eaten these things for many years, and I don’t even remember what they taste like, so it’s better not to toss about them, otherwise it’s meaningless to be a human being.”

"Yuxi, don't eat anymore." Jue Luoshi pulled away her daughter's hand and wiped the sticky juice with a handkerchief, but the daughter still reached out to take it, Jue Luoshi hugged her tightly and said, " Silly girl, why are you bothering? The doctor said you would not have children, Er Niang couldn’t bear to tell you, no matter how hard you try, it’s useless, you won’t have one. Let’s give up, shall we, shall we?”

In this case, even if her mother doesn't say anything, Yuxi will accept her fate. No matter how good and caring Yinzhen is to her, no matter how much medicine she takes, it will be useless. Year after year, she is disappointed again and again, she really has no patience.

Yuxi finally broke down and threw herself into her mother's arms and wailed: "Er Niang, I want my own child..."

Crying came from inside the door, and the fourth elder brother who had rushed back from Changchun Garden was standing outside the door. He and his mother-in-law entered the door one after another. I wanted to go back to Changchun Garden, but when I saw my mother-in-law coming, I wanted to say hello, but I didn't expect to hear the conversation between mother and daughter outside the door.Yuxi's cry pierced his heart, Yinzhen was extremely helpless.
