Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

A few words from Aunt Su Mala made Lan Qi enlightened. Sure enough, everything was ambiguous at the moment, so she was always guessing Xuan Ye's thoughts, otherwise she would definitely make it clear to the emperor, and there would be less troubles.

As for why the emperor kept these few children, according to Yinzhen's words, he saw things that he shouldn't have seen, but before all this, Xuanye took the initiative to send Yinzhen to Yuqing Palace so that he could see clearly .At that time Xuan Ye told her that he wanted to let his son know that the crown prince was nothing special.Lan Qi thought that maybe this time, the emperor also wanted these children to know that the prince was nothing special, and she didn't care if the eighth elder brother ran into anything.

Unloading the burden in her heart, she couldn't help smiling. When she saw her smile, she also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no trace of age on her face. Just now when you smiled, this servant seems to have seen the old Wu Chang."

Lan Qi's cheeks were slightly red, and she scolded the nanny: "You're making fun of me like this, my grandchildren can walk and talk, and I'm almost forty, so I'd better bring Nian Tong to see you some other day."

The nanny sighed endlessly: "Your Majesty is going to be 40 years old?"

Lan Qi nodded and smiled: "I often forget my age, and when I think of it suddenly, my heart trembles. When I was in my 20s, I was very worried about what it would be like to be at this age. When I really arrived, I realized that everything is going with the flow. Sure enough. It’s unnecessary to worry, it’s serious to live the life in front of you.”

The nanny said distressedly: "My mother is over 40 years old, should the Ministry of Internal Affairs suspend the brand?"

"I made an agreement with the emperor that the brand will be stopped after the age of 40. At that time, all the concubines and concubines will stop. Although they have not served the emperor for many years, they always have a thought. They are The earliest person next to the emperor." Lan Qi finally showed some reluctance, and smiled lightly, "Although time flies, but thinking about how I have accompanied the emperor for more than 20 years, God has rewarded me very much. One must be content. Mammy, don't you think so?"

Nanny nodded and said, "Your Majesty has always been content and happy."

Lan Qi smiled: "I was thinking, maybe one day there will be a disease, and I will leave the emperor. If the people who come later can be kind, the emperor will be comforted in the future. I don't know tomorrow. Things, I have so much heart, I wish I could live until then."

"Your Majesty is inseparable. The Emperor lost Empress Hesheli a few years ago. He was still young at that time, and it was easy to survive. There are many things in the court waiting for him to challenge, and the Empress Dowager is here, so No matter how painful it is, I can get over it." The nanny hurriedly shook Lan Qi's hand and said, "But now, if you leave suddenly, I can assure you that the emperor will not get better. The Aixinjueluo family are all idiots, Taizong I went with the concubine Chen, the late emperor went with the concubine Dong E, you can't leave the emperor behind, you promised the master."

Lan Qi felt nervous, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I'm afraid I have to leave first, and the Empress Dowager will call me back."

The days after that were almost the most leisurely months of Lan Qi's life. She had nothing to do every day and got news from the grassland every few days. She was relieved to know that the emperor and the empress dowager and the children were all well.The son and daughter-in-law went to the palace to see her from time to time, she was a quiet person, but the daughters were at a lively age, and they couldn't stand the boredom in the palace for more than ten days.After several invitations from Yuxi, she finally agreed to let Wen Xian and Wen Chen go to the fourth brother's house to play again.Because it wasn't sneaky, after Bafujin found out, she enthusiastically invited the sisters to the mansion for a reunion. Even the fourteenth elder brother clamored to go to the starling's mansion, and Lan Qi agreed to them one by one.

In addition, the younger sister Lan Yingxuan was brought into the palace as a companion. The two sisters slept together as if they were girls at home. The days passed by in the blink of an eye, and they did not spend their days like years because of missing the emperor.Before I knew it, autumn passed and winter came, and in November, news came from the grassland that Sheng Jia had already left for Beijing.

This day, Lanying came from her home. Because of the snow in the morning, her sister sent a sedan chair to pick her up in front of the palace gate. She swayed all the way into the palace. When she accidentally lifted the curtain, a group of people were passing by the fork. Looking around, he saw a gorgeously dressed woman with four or five court ladies and eunuchs talking to someone.The sedan chair passed by, but she didn't see it clearly, and when they arrived at the Yonghe Palace, they whispered a few words with their sister, Lan Qi asked Huanchun to ask the people below, and it turned out that the woman was the Crown Princess, but who was the Crown Princess talking to, everyone was in a hurry But I didn't see it clearly.

And at this moment in Yuqing Palace, two Cian Fujin and several concubines were kneeling in front of the Crown Princess, who had just come back from the outside in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the door, before she could take off her cloak and snow cap, she ordered to call Cian Fujin and the others over, It was a snowy day and made them kneel on the cold floor tiles outside the door, while she stood inside the door and warmed herself by the fire, scolding them in an imposing manner: "It was Wen Fujin who made the prince disappear today, but I said, if something like this happens again , you will be punished even if you sit down, if you want to blame, you can blame Wen Fujin for not taking good care of the prince, reflect on yourself during these two hours."

The Crown Princess is deeply loved by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. The Yuqing Palace has long been dominated by her. In the past, Fang Fujin had expected to play with this little Crown Princess. After several years of competition, he had already been defeated. Even this humiliation and embarrassment They didn't dare to resist and talk back. Originally, they could still count on the prince to help them, but now they can't count on it.

After leaving these women behind, the crown princess took off her cloak, and the maid who was close to her body whispered that the crown prince had already rested, and walked into the inner hall all the way, and saw Yin Reng leaning on the warm kang with a blanket in his arms, and the eunuch's robe was hung on a chair , the princess looked like blood was coming out of her eyes, she gritted her teeth and told the people around her: "Take it and burn it."

The palace lady picked up the clothes tremblingly, and ran away in a hurry. The princess sat on the edge of the kang, Yinfeng opened his eyes slightly, and said lazily: "It's a good robe, it's a waste to burn it."

The concubine tried her best to smile: "Don't make it look familiar, one more thing is worse than one less thing."

"It's all the same." The prince sneered.

"Yinfeng..." The Crown Princess couldn't take it anymore, tears welled up in her eyes, "Didn't you promise me that you would never do that again?"

Yinfeng smiled miserably, turned around and opened the window, the cold wind came in, making the princess shiver uncontrollably, but Yinfeng said: "What if you let them kneel outside and freeze to death?"

The princess replied: "Of course there are new people to serve you." As she climbed up and closed the window heavily, she held the hand of her husband who was also cold with her cold hand, looked at him firmly and asked, "What's the matter?" , What's the matter, it makes you so frustrated that you want to vent like this?"

Yinfeng raised his hand and gently stroked his wife's cheek. He knew his wife's heart and affection for him. Maybe there was only one person in this world who treated him wholeheartedly, but he couldn't give her anything.

The princess was in tears: "Yinfeng, what's wrong with you?"

He said weakly: "Huang Ama rejected my notebook again, saying that I don't understand the river engineering at all and come up with random ideas. You know, every time I write a notebook, my hands shake, and I don't know what to do next. What kind of reprimand is it to send it back. Do you know? He can’t say a good word about anything above the government, even if I stay up for days and nights, look up ancient and modern materials, and summon ministers for questioning , even if he came up with the best idea, he probably wouldn't look at it directly. In Huang Ama's eyes, I'm still a child...It's ridiculous, isn't it? "

The princess knows all about her husband's hard work, but she doesn't think that the prince can give up on himself because of this. He can only be affirmed by the emperor if he does better.But every time my husband is frustrated, he will use various strange ways to vent his dissatisfaction. Under the seemingly distorted and hideous appearance, there is only a fragile and helpless heart.She also didn't understand why the prince, who was above ten thousand people, had such a miserable life.

"It will get better. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time. The emperor will affirm you one day. Don't be discouraged, Yinfeng. I will be behind you no matter what." The princess hugged her husband and hugged him tightly. He said, "Don't do that kind of thing again, let Huang Ama know that you can't humiliate him, it will only make him hate you more. Promise me, even if you beat me and scold me to vent, don't do that kind of thing again .”

Yinfeng's eyes were like stagnant water, and he sneered: "He's coming back soon..."

A few days later, as the holy car got closer and closer, Lan Qi's leisurely days finally came to an end. Everywhere in the palace had to be ordered to take care of it, and she even went to Ningshou Palace to arrange everything in person. The queen mother was not here for several months. Lazy to clean, can't let the Queen Mother come back to see the slightest dust, the same is true for the Qianqing Palace.

But Shengjia walked slowly, someone came back earlier, the emperor and his concubines have not yet returned to the palace, but what happened on the way has already been spread in the palace bit by bit.Surprisingly, I haven't heard of any new favorites around the emperor. It seems that the people who often serve him are Mi Guiren, Yuan Xu, and Min Chang. The only thing that is new is probably the emperor's accompanying few The palace lady, after bringing her back, she should be raised in the palace as an official woman. If she wants to become the new favourite, she probably won't be able to.

One day, nobleman Jue Chan came to Yonghe Palace to pick up things, Lan Qi asked her if Min Chang’s room had been tidied up, and when the two were talking, Chen Changzai from Zhongcui Palace was also ordered to pick up things.Lan Qi saw her twice after returning to the palace, but she hadn't seen her much in the winter. Seeing her again today, seeing how thin she was, she couldn't help but exchanged glances with Mr. Jue Chan, neither of them spoke.

After Chen Changzai left, he sent someone to the House of Internal Affairs to inquire, and it really was short of her fee.

Jue Chan said: "Chen Changzai is also smart. She may not have no clothes to keep out the cold, but if she wears thinner clothes and stands in front of you, you won't ignore her. Now she has fallen out of favor, and the concubine Duan is not in the palace." , will inevitably be bullied.”

Lan Qi smiled leisurely: "It's really smart, I thought you taught her."

Jue Chan shook her head and said nonchalantly: "After that incident, my concubine has no contact with her anymore, and she doesn't know that she has been bullied by others. Maybe she wants to understand that although she doesn't fight, she doesn't want to live in despair. .”
