Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Yi's crying can't bring back any justice. No one can easily change what the emperor has said. Lan Qi stood quietly and watched Xuan Ye get rid of Concubine Yi's entanglement, and watched Xuan Ye leave indifferently, but he When she walked by her side, she had been with her for more than twenty years, and she was keenly aware of the sad aura around Xuan Ye.Yes, how could he not be sad, a good child suddenly disappeared, it was his flesh and blood.

"Your Majesty, don't go..." Concubine Yi cried and fell to the ground, she was completely different from the stunned look just now, Tao Hong was also crying too hard to speak, but hurriedly helped her master, Lan Qi motioned to the nearby The maid came to send Concubine Yi back to the couch, she didn't know what to say to Concubine Yi, she lost her son, any words of consolation now are empty talk.So I simply came out to take care of Elder Brother's funeral, and asked the people in Yikun Palace who had been here, and the people below said that the emperor would not let anyone disturb the empress. There is no one else who is a doctor.

"Fifth elder brother hasn't entered the palace yet?" Lan Qi frowned slightly, and asked again, "Ninth elder brother is in the study?"

Thinking that the only thing that can appease Concubine Yi at this moment is her own flesh and blood, Lan Qi decides to send people to let Fifth Elder Brother and Wu Fujin enter the palace, and then go to the study to bring Jiu Elder Brother back.It can be seen that Brother Nine, the child looks like a wooden carving. People from Yikun Palace told Lan Qi that after the imperial doctor announced that Brother Eleven was dead in the morning, Brother Nine stopped talking and left Concubine Yi alone. He went to the study as usual, and the emperor didn't mention it when he came over.

Because of Wu Fujin's soft temper, she started crying as soon as she entered the door. Lan Qi felt that she could not coax Concubine Yi, so she sent her to the Ningshou Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and the people from the House of Internal Affairs here will take care of the funeral affairs for Elder Brother according to the rules. Lan Qi wanted to see if the child's funeral was in order, and when she passed under the window in front of Brother Nine's house, she heard Brother Nine saying, "Where did you and Eleven go last night?"

Lan Qi just listened casually, didn't take it to heart, came straight to see the poor child, commanded the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do everything well with tears in her eyes, and when she exited to tell Concubine Yi, she saw Brother Jiu Feng Usually ran out, but the fifth elder brother was already sitting in Yifei's room. When Lan Qi entered the door, they saw their mother and son talking. It seemed that the eldest son was so considerate of his mother for the first time in more than ten years. , the pain of losing the youngest son was slightly relieved.

Being accompanied by her son was better than anyone else, so Lan Qi told Tao Hong the important matters, and left first, and went to the door with Huan Chun and the others to wait for the eunuch to press the sedan chair. Said: "The ninth elder brother is looking for the eighth elder brother in front, you go and watch quickly, if the eighth elder brother does not come in, don't tell the ninth elder brother to run out."

Lan Qi glanced at them and didn't say anything, but on the way back, she became curious for some reason, and especially wanted to know the cause of Elder Brother's death. Since he was still alive when he was picked up from the Neijinshui River, he How did it fall?

Outside the palace, due to the death of elder brother eleven, the emperor temporarily suspended his court affairs, and Yinzhen could only go back to his home to wait for news from the palace.After arriving home, she came to visit his wife first. When Yuxi heard that elder brother Eleven was gone, she couldn't help but feel sad and regretful, but it's not that she was too sad if she wasn't close to her on weekdays.While the couple were talking, Yuxi wanted to drink water, Yinzhen turned around to get it for her, but the tape that he had just picked up in the palace fell out from his cuff, he noticed it and hurried to pick it up, Yuxi said deliberately when he saw it : "Which girl made this and called our fourth elder brother such a baby?"

"Nonsense." Yinzhen scolded, and after making Yuxi drink the water, he wanted to hide the tape better. Yuxi was very curious and couldn't help muttering, "You didn't even ask me to take a look. I really met some kind person outside. ?”

Yinzhen smiled wryly, took the tape and said in front of her: "Look, this is a used thing, and it's still covered with dust. I picked it up on the ground in the palace, because..."

"Wen Fujin?" Yuxi suddenly interrupted her husband, pouted and pointed at the tape in Yinzhen's hand, "Could it be Wen Fujin gave it to you?"

"Do you recognize this thing?" Yinzhen was surprised, so he simply showed his wife a closer look, Yuxi nodded and said, "Wen Fujin only made up the knot on it. When we were still in the palace, Wen Fujin and I Even if we are close, doesn’t she often sit with me when we have banquets? When we gossip, we talk about these things and say that we will teach me to weave them in the future. This kind of knot is very fresh, and she came up with it by herself.”

Yinzhen looked at the things in his hand and said: "It is true that this kind of knot is not common. When I just picked it up, I felt that the workmanship is very delicate."

Yuxi asked, "Where did it come from?"

But Yinzhen said: "I'll tell you in the future, it's an embarrassing time." After a pause, she suddenly got excited, scratched Yuxi's nose, and said with a stern face, "Do you think that Wen Fujin and I are having an affair?"

Of course, Yuxi was assured that her husband would not do such a thing, but she wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere. After talking to him a few words, she asked him to go to the study to read or rest quietly, so that she could wait for news from the palace at any time, Huang Ama After all, they just lost a son, so how can they talk and laugh at home.

This day was passed safely, and everything in the palace was carried out in an orderly manner according to the rules. To the public, it was said that elder brother Eleven died of a sudden illness. Sorrows and condolences were not allowed, and it was not until the next day that it was slightly relieved. The emperor was still busy with state affairs early in the morning, and there were people coming and going between the concubines, and the emperor did not prohibit anything.

And Concubine Yi kept crying, and she came to cry alone, and then she didn't even have the strength to cry. She had been proud in the palace for more than twenty years, and it was the first time she saw her so pitiful. She was a very good child after all. However, due to the strange and sudden death, everyone was curious about the cause of Eleventh Brother's death, and at the same time brought up the past, and the Sixth Brother's story was revealed. Those gossips also pierced Lan Qi's heart.

However, this gust of wind blew by and made Longyan displeased. He used Yifei's weakness as an excuse to not allow the concubine to walk around in Yikun Palace, and said that the Queen Mother was very sad to lose her grandson, and urged people in the harem to be cautious in their words and deeds. Don't embarrass the Queen Mother any more.But this time, he cared about Concubine Yi and the Empress Dowager, even though there was no mention of Sixth Brother's death or the Yonghe Palace, the women could feel that the emperor was partial to Concubine De.

In the next few days, Brother Eleven's funeral was completed according to the rules. Because he was an underage prince, the funeral would not be extravagant, and there was no rule of sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person. Just like the prince and princess, even though elder brother eleven had existed longer than his deceased brothers and sisters, all traces of him were erased from the palace so suddenly and swiftly.Lan Qi could understand the sadness and sadness, and Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong could understand it, but their child died earlier and it was not so painful.

And at the end of September, the elder brother Fujin gave birth, and this time he was finally blessed by the heavens and gave birth to the little emperor's grandson. Although he was no longer in the position of the emperor's eldest grandson, the elder brother's eldest son was a direct descendant. Finally, half of Concubine Hui's wish was fulfilled. The resentment towards his daughter-in-law was also much less, and he hoped that the child would grow up healthily, but Da Fujin suffered a lot from giving birth this time, but Concubine Hui didn't care at all.

It was the queen mother who heard that Dafu Jin gave birth and hurt her body, so she asked Lan Qi to arrange for the imperial doctor to treat and give condolences. It was also considered to be a deliberate warning to Concubine Hui not to get carried away. After that, she finally saw Changchun Palace doing some humane things, and she did not treat the hard-working grandma badly. Fujin.

This day, nobleman Ribu came to Yonghe Palace to help Lan Qi measure her size. She was busy a while ago and didn’t have time to make new winter clothes. Although everything was prepared in the sewing room, the stature of the ladies changes every year, and they are made. If the new clothes don't fit well, the people in the sewing room can't eat and walk away.But the Yonghe Palace is too busy here, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not intervene, so they had to beg to bring the concubines Duan and the nobleman Bu to prepare for the concubine when they were measuring the size in the Zhongcui Palace. The nobleman said it was no big deal, so Brought it himself.

When Mrs. Bu was measuring Lan Qi, he shook his head and said that she didn't see any growth, and she seemed to be tired and thin again. He said casually: "Chen Changzai at the back of our room is really getting more and more open. I saw her face is round today. , It used to be a oval face with a pointed chin, but now it is rich and good-looking like a goose egg, and it looks a little fatter, and it is much more beautiful than before when it was thin like a bamboo pole."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "They are young, and they will grow older. I saw a secret before..." Lan Qi quickly stopped in the middle of speaking, because the person she wanted to talk to was different from the person Sister Bu listened to, no matter whether it would cause trouble or not. Misunderstanding, it is always best not to mention it, so I immediately changed the subject and said, "The emperor likes her very much. I heard from Eunuch Liang that she can accompany the emperor to approve memorials when she has nothing to do. She can stand or sit quietly by the side. It will be a whole day to accompany them, and Yuan promises to those few, but he won't be able to stay idle."

At this time, Pan Xia came back from Zhongcui Palace, originally to get two pairs of sleeve sleeves that the nobleman made for Lan Qi but forgot to bring. Said: "Someone from Qianqing Palace just came to pick up Chen Changzai, and it seems to be staying in Qianqing Palace tonight."

Everyone didn't find it surprising after hearing this, but here Chen Changzai has already arrived at Qianqing Palace.

Because it was still early and it was not time for dinner, she went into the study to meet the emperor, and Xuan Ye sent her a letter from home, saying: "Your Ama sent it in the folder, I have read it, it is nothing important. The family is very cautious, and all family letters go through me, if you read anything you want to say, I will bring it to you when I approve it."

Chen Changzai took the letter and stood by the table to read it. It was indeed just an ordinary letter of greeting, but the ones from home were always very precious, so he carefully put them away after reading them.

Xuan Ye asked: "Do you have anything to say?"

Chen Changzai shook his head, said with a faint smile: "It's nothing important, my father just greets my concubine and tells my concubine to serve the emperor well."

Xuan Ye smiled: "You have always been very good."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's what a concubine should do." A gentle and sweet smile bloomed on her pretty face, but she gradually blushed for some reason, she bit her lips and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine is pregnant."
