Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"It's Hongyu who is ill. Yinzhen begged my concubine to send two imperial physicians to take a look." Lan Qi responded, and brought the warm tea on the table. Xuanye's mouth was dry from sleep, neither cold nor hot It happened to enter the entrance, and after drinking more than half of the bowl, he took a breath and said, "The people who serve tea in the Qianqing Palace don't look at each other. It's so hot in the house in winter, who wants to drink hot."

Lan Qi thought Xuan Ye changed the subject because she didn't want to ask her any more, but when she turned around, she heard: "The child is so seriously ill, the doctor outside can't do anything?"

"Perhaps this child is superstitious about the excellent medical skills of the imperial physician. For such a trivial matter, the emperor will let his concubine help him." Lan Qi deliberately said it calmly, and she didn't want Xuan Ye to ask again. She also had something to be ashamed of. For example, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship between son and daughter-in-law. How many people envied her before, but now it has become inexplicable. If it doesn't work, it will fall into the shoes of others, not to mention that they were good at first.

Xuan Ye said slowly: "Yuxi is the daughter-in-law chosen by Empress Xiaoyi herself, but she didn't have time to teach her, maybe even if she still exists now, she might not be able to teach her well. I've heard something about Yinzhen's family right now. "

Lan Qi lowered her eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, the concubine is incompetent."

But Xuan Ye said: "You can't be incompetent. If you are incompetent again, what will you do with the children? I think you are probably afraid that you will not be able to change the children's goodness with all your hard work, and you will not be able to change them into what we imagined, so now you are all incapable. Don't teach them, do you?"

Lan Qi remained silent, laughing in her heart when Xuanye had thought about the way of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the emperor said solemnly: "Yuxi is a smart child, I think you really taught her well, and you can't teach her well. Back then The emperor's grandmother wholeheartedly wants to train you to be like this. Let me ask you, 20 years ago, you didn't even know a few big characters. Now, how many Buddhist scriptures have you copied? Who in the government and the public don't know the Yonghe Palace? Preparation? Such a long road, didn’t we also walk through it step by step?”

Lan Qi smiled: "I don't know if those ministers who received such a reward would feel that the emperor is strange and might say something behind their backs."

Xuan Ye didn't care: "Then they are disrespecting the Buddha."

"What does the emperor mean to let the concubines discipline them well?" Lan Qi was very helpless, "The concubines worried about everything for them before, and even set the rules for wives and concubines at home clearly. It's not that I manage too leniently and protect too deeply, making Yinzhen and Yuxi feel that many things are easy, that people and things in this world should revolve around them. That's why I plan to let them go and let them Toss by yourself, even if you are riddled with holes, you will only know your mistakes when it hurts, and if you don’t want to repent, then continue to suffer.”

Xuan Ye nodded: "You are very thoughtful, but I entrust you to support Yinzhen's family and make his wife's virtuous son Xiao's house peaceful, okay?"

Lan Qi stared blankly at Xuan Ye, the emperor hugged her and said: "If you feel that you have worked hard, just tell me, I will make up for your hard work, and I will coax you every day."

"Nice and nonsense." Her heart became hot, Xuan Ye had already talked about this, and it was really unjustifiable for her not to give face.The emperor must have his intentions for caring about his son's family affairs so much. It's not easy for her to ask if she doesn't know, but a peaceful home is always a good thing. As Xuan Ye said, it's not difficult for her to take care of it, just because she is afraid that the children will live up to her good intentions. In the end, even I feel disheartened, but it's too bad.

Xuan Ye smiled: "Then I will take it as your promise. From now on, you will pay more attention to the affairs of Yinzhen's family, the health of your grandchildren, and the harmony between Yinzhen and his wives and concubines. You will be more concerned. I will teach my son to govern the country." The ability to level the world, how about you, just take care of those families for him."

Lan Qi didn't think much, and said casually: "There is always a time to let go, how can I control them forever."

But Xuan Ye sighed softly, hugged Lan Qi and buried her in her warm and soft shoulder, and said silently in his heart: Fool, when I let go, I will not be here anymore.

Lan Qi couldn't hear the words in Xuan Ye's heart, but she could feel the faint sadness on the emperor's body. She felt distressed for no reason, subconsciously hugged him tightly, and fully agreed to his request: "Don't worry, your majesty, my concubine will definitely support Yinzhen well." The house is peaceful."

Outside the palace, two imperial physicians rushed to the fourth elder brother's mansion. The younger elder brother was indeed weaker than his brothers and sisters. The elder sister of the same mother had been strong since childhood, while the eldest elder brother of Fujin was in good health although he often cried and made noises. of.In the past, someone instigated that Fujin would not take care of the children, but now Li Fangfujin is taking care of the children by himself, but the younger elder brother is often sick. I thought there should be no more secret rumors, but the wind changed and said that the manpower and material resources of the mansion were exhausted. Used in the main courtyard, Xiyuan Li Fangfujin brought the children and was often neglected, which made the little elder brother in poor health.

The more such things happen, the more indifferent Yuxi's attitude becomes. It is undeniable that after having her own child, she is no longer so patient and loving towards other people's lives, but she has never been treated badly by Li Cefujin and the little elder brother. , such words will inevitably make her sad, so she simply ignores it.But if she didn't care about it, something really happened, and she couldn't get rid of it.

The imperial doctor came to see him for a long time, and told the fourth elder brother that the little elder brother's illness should be brought out of the mother's womb. This is a long-term hidden disease. I hope the fourth elder brother can be prepared. The child is very likely to die.

Yinzhen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked them: "What did you say? Your Taiyuan Hospital always reports good news but not bad news. Now tell me about this, are you afraid that the concubine Defei will blame you?"

The two imperial physicians prostrated themselves and proclaimed: "Even if the concubine De concubine asks, the ministers should report the same thing. I have seen such illnesses as the little brother in the palace. Before you brothers, several princes under the emperor's knees died like this. of."

Li Fangfujin beside him was already in tears, but she didn't pester and cry. Hearing what the imperial doctor said, she only asked weakly: "Can I support him?"

The imperial doctor had no confidence, and could only be relieved: "Although it is resigned to fate, maybe Fang Fujin takes good care of him, and the little elder brother can grow up. There is no certainty about this matter."

Li Fujin leaned back with tears in his eyes and said: "Please also ask the imperial physician to treat the little elder brother." After saying that, he covered his face and couldn't make a sound. The appearance made people heartbroken. After all, he was his own woman's own son, how could Yinzhen Ruthless, he came forward to support Li Shi's body and said, "You can take care of the child at ease. If there is anything, I will face it with you."

Li Fangfujin raised his sad and tearful eyes, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he nodded his head heavily.

The imperial physician needed to return to the palace to return to order, but Yinzhen felt that the matter was a bit serious, so he had to go to the palace to explain to his mother in person, so he sent someone to send a message to Fujin, saying that he would come to the palace.

The people in Xiyuan dispersed, and the tranquility of the past was restored. Occasionally, the little elder brother could be heard crying, but the weak little life had no strength. A few sounds are really nothing.

Qiaozhu dismissed the people below, came into the room and quietly closed the door, while Fujin was sitting beside the cradle in a daze, she walked to her side and whispered: "Miss, the fourth elder brother looks very sad, you see he will come in immediately The palace is gone."

Mrs. Li suddenly woke up, looked at the servant girl and said, "It's been so long since I've been in the door, and it's the first time he's looking at me so tenderly. If there's something wrong with Hongqin, he will come to comfort me, and he won't care about anyone's face anymore." Alright."

Qiaozhu smiled and said: "Si elder brother has always been very kind to the lady, but Song Gege is bluffing, and Di Fujin is hypocritical. You are obviously the most virtuous, but you seem indifferent."

Li Fang Fujin smiled wryly: "But I just can't be as flattering and inviting as the Song family, and I will never be able to match the status of Fujin in the hearts of the fourth elder brother and the concubine, so if I can fight for it, I must fight for myself." Said As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at the weak child in the cradle, and felt heartbroken, "But if Hongjin can do well, I don't want to act in this scene."

Qiao Zhubi hissed: "Keep your voice down, it's not your fault."

It turned out that Li Fang Fujin specially chose to go to the main courtyard to report the child's illness today, because he thought that the child would not pick a day when he was sick, and he could not blame her for ruining the good thing that the fourth elder brother returned home and reunited with Fujin. It seemed that it was uncomfortable to play a small fight, but she had already learned from the doctor that her son was born with a hidden disease, and the child might not be able to be raised for a long time.

Originally heartbroken, but seeing the child getting weaker and weaker day by day, and seeing Fujinfa beat Mrs. Song viciously that day, but her husband didn't respond at all, she knew in her heart that she couldn't lose her son and fourth elder brother's mercy.So he deliberately tossed and invited the imperial physician, and it was bound to let the fourth elder brother hear it with his own ears, and let the concubine Defei in the palace know how pitiful he was.

When the fourth elder brother arrived in the palace, Huang Ama was still resting at Erniang's place. He was afraid that he would not leave today, so he told his mother about the child. Although Lan Qi was heartbroken, she couldn't do anything about the child's fate. I understand that the Empress Dowager said in the past that after seeing too many sad things about the withering of her sons, even the sadness will become numb.

Later, the emperor and his son said something that had nothing to do with the child. At that time, Lan Qi went to Ningshou Palace to report the matter to the Queen Mother. The imperial physician stays at the fourth elder brother's mansion, and concentrates on taking care of the younger elder brother from now on.

That day when Lan Qi was meeting at the Yonghe Palace, her son had already left. Xuan Ye was exhausted from the journey, so he had a rest early after eating. When they all got to the door, Xuan Ye told her: "Don't wait for the things you agreed to yesterday. Just happened to happen to Honglin. You call Yuxi in and teach her how to deal with this matter. It's embarrassing, don't tell her to be tricked."

Lan Qi frowned, but Xuan Ye smiled wryly: "Just call the imperial physician to ask for clarification."

"What does the emperor mean?"

Xuan Ye said disdainfully: "The doctor Li has been hiring, do you want me to ask you for a question?"
