Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Nonsense or not, Lan Qi knew in her heart that after Yinzhen married Fujin and had children, she should marry Wen Xian next. During the past few years, supporting a group of children under their knees to start a family and start a business is the most important thing in this period of life.Xuan Ye has his family, country and world, and Lan Qi also has a responsibility that no one else can replace.

Back at the Yonghe Palace, seeing a pair of sisters laughing and playing together again, Wen Xian domineeringly said that whoever dares to say that her sister is ugly in the future, she will deal with them severely. Let me tell you, there is really nothing in front of me that can be used as an excuse to delay that matter, if some newcomers in the palace do not appear in a serious manner, the relatives and nobles will be turned upside down.

At this moment Wen Xian rushed over, coquettish with her: "Xiao Chen'er wants to see my little nephew, Er Niang, please bring my little nephew here."

Looking at her daughter's pretty face like a flower, Lan Qi was in a daze. The newcomers from now on will be about the same age as her daughter. In the past, when Wang's and Yuan's were growing up with Chunxi Rongxian, she didn't think much of it. Now it's finally her turn. When she saw her own daughter, she realized that she was really getting old.In a few years, she will be 40 years old, and she has spent more than half of her life in the Forbidden City.

"What's the matter with you, Er Niang?" Wen Xian timidly changed his words immediately, "I'm just asking for Xiao Chen'er, it's fine if Er Niang refuses to agree, but don't be angry, or I will make you angry again, I want to Well, you have to be obedient these days."

"What you said, at least I have been tense for the past few months. Don't turn around and reveal your true colors. You are a big girl. If you make mistakes and ask Er Niang to punish you, you will be ashamed." Lan Qi regained her composure. , and a loving and gentle mother, she sat beside Xiaochener's couch with Wen Xian, pointed to the last few pimples on her cheeks and said, "When my sister's face is clean, Erniang will bring Niantong over to play with you guys." A few days, the little nephew who was born is not good, wait until he can walk."

In front of his younger sister, Wen Xian didn't say anything, but she was an older child after all, and it was inevitable that there would be bad-mouthed people in Ningshou Palace. After leaving his sister, Wen Xian told his mother that the nuns in Ningshou Palace said, Sifujin might dislike their sisters for some reason, after all, she almost contracted acne.She asked Er Niang worriedly: "In the future, will we not be able to go to the fourth brother's house to play?"

Lan Qi felt that it would be better if she had something to say clearly, so she said seriously: "Originally you always go out of the palace, it is a matter of bad manners, you were ignorant when you were young, and no one cared about it because of the love of the emperor's grandmother, but now that you have grown up, the emperor's grandmother I can continue to love you, but you can't continue to be ignorant. Er Niang hopes that you will not go to the fourth brother's house from time to time in the future. When there are happy events in the house, it doesn't matter if everyone goes to have fun. Don't go there on weekdays. If you feel that living in the Forbidden City is boring, it would be interesting to ask Huang Ama to take you on a trip."

Xu Shi had experienced the life and death of his younger sister, and Wen Xian was more obedient than before. When Er Niang said this, she immediately agreed, and said that she would come from her younger sister, and put on an older sister's posture and said, "Xiao Chen'er just listen to me."

But when the mother and daughter talked well and Lan Qi was in a good mood, something new happened in the palace.Concubine Xi's subordinates of Qixiang Palace came to report in a hurry, saying that nobleman Mi was not doing well, so she could only leave her daughter and come to Qixiang Palace. It was rare that Concubine Rong arrived in time today. It means: "You are busy there, just leave the matter here to me."

But Concubine Rong is someone who recognizes the "Wang Family", how can Lan Qi rest assured that she will stay here to take care of her, she perfunctorily insisted on staying here, but the imperial doctor came in and out, and Wen Po also urged her to come. The body suddenly suffered a miscarriage, and the fetus that was already formed was knocked out, and Migui's body was greatly damaged. In the blink of an eye, the Qixiang Palace was full of sorrow.

In the main hall of Qixiang Palace, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong sat on the head side by side, and Concubine Xi stood aside tremblingly. She had been taking good care of Mrs. Mi with all her heart. It seems that something unusual has happened in Qixiang Palace recently.The imperial doctor came back soon, and told the ground that Migui's miscarriage was due to the lack of the fetus itself. The baby was obviously deformed, and it is still good if it is aborted now. Sudden death with children anywhere.There are similar records from both the folk and the court, and it has always been something that the imperial physicians have been helpless to do. It can only be said that Migui was lucky enough to meet him.

Lan Qi thought that the emperor's subordinates were directly responsible for everything in the Qixiang Palace. Concubine Xi and the nobleman got along well, and there was really no possibility of harming her artificially. Although she didn't have the guts to take a look at the dead baby, the imperial physician was both she and the emperor. A trustworthy person would not lie, but he would only lament that the nobleman is unlucky and ask Xi Concubine to take good care of her.

When they left Qixiang Palace together with Concubine Rong, the two discussed who would return to the Queen Mother. Lan Qi mentioned that the Queen Mother repeatedly mentioned the draft. It is inevitable that they will have to deal with some tongues again. If they don't take things seriously to remind the emperor, the queen mother should complain.

Concubine Rong smiled: "It's so easy, the emperor issued a decree, just follow the rules. There are new people coming, and there are new excitements to watch. I told Concubine Duan the other day that we are getting better and better these days. It’s okay, just count on watching jokes to pass the time.”

The two were joking and joking, and they had a good discussion about serious things, but Lan Qi hadn't had time to mention it to Xuan Ye, the emperor suddenly used the excuse that Princess Wen Chen and Mi Nobles needed to be taken care of, and wanted to serve the queen mother, bring the fifth concubine and several other concubines. The respectable concubine moved to Changchun Garden together with the people in Qixiang Palace.The whole summer was spent there, until the princess concubine gave birth to the little princess at the beginning of August, the emperor and the queen mother brought everyone back to the Forbidden City.At that time, the matter of the draft was officially brought up by the emperor, and it finally took shape.

But before the draft, the palace had to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since the grand celebration banquet had not yet been held after the triumphant return from the extermination of Galdan in the spring, the emperor planned to hold a grand banquet in the Forbidden City. In addition to Beijing officials, officials from all over the country were also invited to Beijing to report on their duties. In addition, we will join the celebration banquet together.

On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, Lan Qi was ordered to accompany Xuan Ye to have lunch at Qianqing Palace. After lunch, Xuan Ye heard that the flowers planted by Aunt Su Mala were very good. Thinking that she hadn’t seen her for a long time, she wanted to go with Lan Qi Elder brother just walked around, just to digest.But the two walked out of Qianqing Palace side by side, only to see a eunuch leading a minister waiting in front of the door, Eunuch Liang was also stunned, and hurriedly remembered that the emperor had scheduled an audience with the minister in the afternoon, and he had not had time to order outsiders not to bring anyone in , it was just a coincidence.

"The governor of Chen Huguang kowtowed to the emperor at a young age, long live my emperor..." When the minister saw the holy driver, he fell to the ground and kowtowed.

When Lan Qi heard that she had reported her family name, she didn't know who the minister was, so she took a few steps back, thinking whether she should retire first, but the emperor said: "This is the Empress of the Yonghe Palace."

Nian Xialing paid homage again, Lan Qi nodded with dignity in her hand, Xuan Ye showed no embarrassment, and after Nian Xianling got up, she smiled: "How come you have gray hair after only five years as a feudal official, I remember you When I left Beijing, I had black hair all over my head."

Nian Xialing hurriedly said: "I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I miss Long Live day and night, so I added gray hair."

Xuan Ye smiled at Lan Qi, although Lan Qi understood that the flirtatious words were too false, but the ministers felt uncomfortable if they didn't say a few words, Xuan Ye was used to hearing it, and she was no longer new.Feeling that he is not suitable here, he gave Xuan Ye his eyes, motioning for her to leave, but the emperor ignored him, turned around and asked: "I remember that you got a job offer the year before last, so you can get a daughter?"

Nian Xialing bowed and said: "I am ashamed to disturb Shengjia because of the joy of making tiles at home. It is all because I have no daughters under my knees, and my wife gave birth to a daughter at a young age. I am so happy that I can't help but tell the emperor. It is the great grace of the emperor."

Xuan Ye just smiled: "It seems that you and your husband are in good health, and I don't have to worry about sending you to Huguang to suffer."

Nian Xialing hurriedly said: "The emperor's words are serious."

Xuan Ye asked: "Did you go to Beijing alone?"

Nian Xialing replied: "My wife said that the opportunity is rare, and I miss my old family members very much. I have the courage to bring my wife and children to Beijing together."

The emperor said: "Forget it, I came to you today to reminisce about the old days, and it has nothing to do with the government, but now I want to go to Ningshou Palace with Concubine De to meet the Empress Dowager, so you should kneel down first. What do I want to reward you for? Tomorrow, the Empress Dowager will have a feast with all the female relatives in the Ningshou Palace. Let your wife and daughters come into the palace together. The Empress Defei will take care of them for me. You don’t have to thank me, just thank the Concubine De .”

Nian Xialing was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down to Lan Qi and kowtowed her head to thank Lan Qi. Seeing that the golden words could not be changed, Lan Qi could only smile and said: "Please also ask Mrs. Nian to enter the palace early tomorrow. The princesses are short of Ling Qianjin's age." Play with my little sister."

Xuan Ye didn't say anything else, and led Lan Qi away. Naturally, they didn't go to Ningshou Palace to see the Empress Dowager, but instead went to Elder Brother's Office to talk to Aunt Su Mala.

On this side, Eunuch Liang is left behind to see Mr. Nian leave the palace. Nian Xialing and Director Liang are also old acquaintances. He has been an official in the capital for more than [-] years. Going out, talking about the things in the capital and the palace in the past few years, Eunuch Liang smiled and said: "Mrs. Nian will come early tomorrow. The concubine De is the most gentle and generous. It is a coincidence that Mrs. Nian came today, and I met the concubine De , the emperor must have said it casually, but the fate was formed after this casual talk."

Nian Xialing smiled and said: "Father-in-law's words, I am even more terrified. The concubine de concubine is so honorable, I am afraid that the concubine will be disrespectful in front of her. The little girl is only three years old and not sensible. I am really worried."

Director Liang smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? This is the emperor's grace. Don't you want to become a royal relative?"
