Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"Yuan promises to be ugly, but the palace is curious about what happened to the one in Qixiang Palace, she is not the only one." Concubine Duan sat on the side shuffling the cards and said, "If it is really like the palace It's a pity that she was disfigured like the legend, but the emperor seems to treat her well, so she is finally a lucky person."

Lan Qi remained silent, she was worried that she would be too agitated to attract suspicion, but Concubine Rong said from the side: "She ran into people in Ningshou Palace doing meddling things that day, and was injured again, although no one dared to criticize The empress dowager's rule is not strict, so it's still the empress dowager's business. I figured that the emperor was afraid that the empress dowager would not be happy when she saw Migui, and she was so arrogant and domineering before, which the empress dowager always hated. Then the emperor told her to stay and not come out. , or the queen mother said to the emperor that she doesn't want to see her in the future, we don't know. But this year she has nothing to do, isn't it very good, Yuan promised to be very curious, and insisted on making something out , she has suffered."

Concubine Duan smiled and said: "It's not hard to guess what Yuan promised. In the past, there was a nobleman who was oppressing her, and nobleman Mi was not satisfied. Our Zhongcui Palace has Chen Changzai again. No wonder she can't stand it anymore, but in the future, she will continue to fight." There is a newcomer, is she going to be unable to survive?"

Only then did Lan Qi say: "Xu has given birth to a girl, so she should be more confident. Anyway, she is a member of Concubine Hui's house, so let's leave it alone."

But Lan Qi just said this, she couldn't really ignore it, she was already thinking about when she would go to Qixiang Palace to have a look at Migui.

As for Yuan Promise, Concubine Hui reprimanded her after being sent back to the Changchun Palace. Concubine Hui's elder brother is now at the time when he is proud of his career, and the emperor is more and more fond of his eldest son. If she dared to act presumptuously, she was afraid that she would be self-defeating and harm her son, but she didn't want to make a small promise in the room stir up trouble. It was always Concubine Hui who was incapable of disciplining her, and she lost face. From that day on, Yuan promised not to go out again.

And Yuan promised to make a fuss in Qixiang Palace, but he didn't find anything new. At most, the eunuchs and maids in Qixiang Palace were replaced by new people, but he said earlier that he didn't protect Wang Changzai well in order to punish those slaves. But it is not surprising that after a group of people were sent away, people were gradually replaced over the course of the year.What's more, Qixiang Palace can always be entered and exited, and it has not become a forbidden area. It may not be that there are ulterior secrets in it, but Migui has been missing people, which makes her curious.

Concubine Hui knew this very well. A woman from the Han family could not make a big fuss. Even if the crown prince died now and the emperor spoiled her, it would not be her son's turn to fight for the position in the East Palace. Brother's opponent would never be their mother and son. What is really worth fearing is the Yonghe Palace. For example, no matter how beautiful the Yonghe Palace is, people will not be able to catch any shortcomings. This is the strength of Concubine De.

Two days later, Lan Qi excused herself from the Empress Dowager to see the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers, so she went to Qixiang Palace to pick up the children in person, and waited for the elder brothers to dress up. Unknowingly, she arrived at the Dongbei Hall, and at that time, Migui was already waiting in front of the door. Looking around, seeing Empress Concubine De coming, she hurriedly bowed to give up her seat, while Lan Qi smiled: "I'm leaving in a while, I'll be surprised after staying for a long time, I just want to see how you are."

Migui's complexion is very good, after a year, he has already recovered from the weakness after giving birth to the little princess that day.She was originally a person who lived in her own room and did not go out. Now she stays in Qixiang Palace, and she doesn't feel bored. Besides, there are more people here and there are two children as companions. Most of the time when there are no guests, she is with the children They were playing in the courtyard, and Xi Concubine was friendly with her, and the days were very nourishing.

Seeing that she was so nice, Lan Qi felt more at ease, and said that it would not be difficult to bring her to play when the little princess grew up to be able to run quickly, but Migui said: "The concubine fell into a coma after giving birth, and the child has never seen her." , instead of thinking about it, knowing that Madam Su Ma is taking care of her is more reassuring, the fifteen elder brothers and the sixteen elder brothers are very cute, and my concubine puts all her thoughts on them."

"It's just that you are so kind, I feel more difficult for you, but unfortunately there is no other way, you are helping the emperor Zhou Quan, don't worry, the emperor will not treat you badly." Lan Qi said, the fifteen elder brothers outside had already yelled, so she went Saying goodbye to nobleman Mi, and coming out to bring the two children, Xi Concubine asked softly beside him, "Mother, will Yuan promise to come again? Is it better for the concubine not to go out in the future? You have taken care of me before and let the concubine not Walk around, but there are some things that the concubine can't shirk."

"It's nothing important. You and Concubine Jing have always been close. It would be strange if you don't move around. You have done a good job this year, and the emperor praised you to me." Lan Qi gently reassured Concubine Xi, but also urged , "But if you can't live in peace, you can relax. You still have to look after the door of Qixiang Palace. Everyone can feel at ease, right?"

Speaking of these words, Lan Qi knew that she was cruel, but there was nothing she could do about it. This was something that had to be cruel, and she had already had human blood on her hands. Although she still had a soft heart, when it was time to be cold, she would not too hesitant.

The days went by day by day, good news from the front came frequently, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the female relatives gathered in the Ningshou Palace. Although there was no extravagance and excitement, everyone was happy because there was always good news from the front line. They all straightened out their chubby bellies and were full of joy. It is really a good year for the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the royal family.

After leaving the palace on Mid-Autumn Festival, because the queen mother liked him, Niantong was left in Ningshou Palace, and she was asked to pick him up after a few days, but Yuxi was free for a few days. Rest in your own room.Thinking that she would have nothing to do in the next few days, she wanted to go back to her mother's house, but when she was washing up before going to bed, the maid who was close to her reminded her: "Fu Jin hasn't received a monthly letter for almost two months, do you want to ask the doctor to take a look? Will it be happy?"

Yuxi herself didn't care about this at all, her monthly letter was always inaccurate, so she always went to the doctor excitedly before, but ended up being happy again and again, such disappointment and embarrassment were very heartbreaking, and since summer she has been sitting I didn't take any fetal medicine, and I ate a lot of raw and cold things in those days, and I didn't see any discomfort in my body these days, so I couldn't help smiling bitterly: "There's nothing to make a fuss about, it's just as messy as before, wait In winter, I am taking medicine to recuperate, so don't talk too much."

After dismissing the servants, Yuxi touched her stomach, unable to resist the bitterness of heart, Erniang confessed that she would not have children, and the doctor also asserted that she was unable to conceive. How, it is not uncommon for him not to come for the rest of his life.Thinking of these, while sad, but also think of another thing.She has already made an agreement with Yinzhen that he will live in Li Fujin's Xiyuan for a period of time, and must let him conceive another child, even if it is to fulfill her selfish ideas, she can't take care of it, no matter what How, the fourth elder brother can't live without a son.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was getting colder and colder. The news from the front said that the emperor led troops from Ordos all the way to Ningxia. Galdan finally surrendered without a fight. The emperor stopped the pursuit and announced that he would return to the court soon. It is estimated that he will be able to return to Beijing in mid-September.

When the female relatives talked about these things, they closed the door and pretended to discuss a few words. They didn't understand why the emperor didn't kill Galdan and let him go again and again. Who knew what would happen later? Long Yan was furious for letting go of Galdan, but now he is doing exactly the same thing, obviously chasing so far, but turning back halfway.Lan Qi heard them chattering, she didn't understand very well, she just waited to visit Madam Su Mala later, she told her the current situation in the grassland, the emperor didn't kill Galdan, it must be because he wanted to respond to Cewang Arab Moreover, with the existence of Galdan, Mobei and Monan will also be wary, and they will become more dependent on the Qing court. Such a restraint relationship is indeed the emperor's usual tricks.

When she said these words, the nanny laughed at Lan Qi: "Your Majesty doesn't shy away from government affairs now?"

Lan Qi was embarrassed, but she also said frankly: "From the front, she respected the rules and was always cautious. Now it seems that she is not hypocritical, but the child has grown up, and occasionally talks to Yinzhen, so it's okay if she can't keep up with him. If I can't even understand it, and he doesn't dislike me, I will feel uncomfortable. I will become more and more alienated from my son like that, and I can't bear it."

The nanny also said: "It's not wrong for the empress to know something. Didn't the Empress Dowager know everything about the previous dynasty in the past? As long as she doesn't overstep and lose her sense of proportion, she can really go and intervene in the country. It's better to know than not to know. Concubine Hui Yi made a joke, she has been proud of herself in the palace for so long, but the emperor sent a large army to see her off, in fact, it was to trouble Galdan and make her very embarrassed."

Lan Qi smiled: "Embarrassment is what we said, she is still very proud of herself, Concubine Yi has been much better these years than before, in fact, the concubines in the palace no longer cause troubles like they used to, but sometimes in my heart Anxiety will arise, coming out of nowhere, obviously everything in front of me is peaceful and peaceful."

The nanny looked at Lan Qi meaningfully, and after a while, she just said: "If a person has no long-term worries, there must be near-term worries. There is nothing wrong with the empress."

In mid-September, the emperor personally conquered Galdan for the second time, and returned with a great victory. After the soldiers of the Eight Banners marched into the city in mighty force, all the elder brothers followed the emperor to report the victory to the queen mother, and then dispersed to pay their respects to their birth mothers. Lan Qi waited, Lan Qi knew that they were young and newly married, so she sent them back home early without delaying her son's conversation.

Seeing her husband returning safely, Yuxi was of course full of joy, but she had more important things in her heart. As soon as the couple entered the house, she stopped, pushed Yinzhen and said, "It's agreed, you will live in the house from now on." Go to Xiyuan, I have already told my sister, she will take care of you, after a hard journey, rest well."

Yinzhen looked at his wife blankly, and Yuxi smiled gently: "You promised me."

"But you must be in a hurry..." Yinzhen wanted to push back, but he came back excitedly, and had too many things to say to Yuxi, but his wife pushed him away.

"Hurry up." Yuxi didn't feel sad, but with a gentle smile on her face, she urged her husband, "Your sister should be in trouble for you."

Yinzhen was helpless, after all he had personally promised Yuxi, he sighed heavily and then turned around to walk towards Xiyuan. He was extremely depressed and couldn't get into a fit, he clenched his fists tightly, but he had only walked a dozen steps away, when suddenly he heard something behind him. After a moment of panic, he turned around and saw Yuxi who was standing there fell down, he was so startled that he ran over immediately, before he got close to his wife, he heard the servant girl yelling: "Fu Jin is bleeding."
