Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"They are indeed childhood sweethearts, but the sisters of the emperor are all married far away. If Er Niang said this, does it mean that Wen Xian's marriage, Huang Ama, has already made a decision?" Yinzhen was very cautious, and did not immediately agree to his mother. Instead, he said, "If the emperor Ama hasn't made a decision yet, we agreed to Wen Xian first, and if we go back on our promises in the future, she will definitely be hurt."

Lan Qi thought her son was too serious, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, she was very comforted, and smiled happily: "You can feel free to ask, and Er Niang will naturally consider other matters. This is your sister's lifelong event, and Er Niang is worried about it. It should be, but Erniang is really happy that you can be so caring, if Wen Xian knows that his brother is going to pull the red line for him, I don't know how much I will admire you in the future."

Yinzhen smiled: "If she can marry in the capital, my son will feel relieved. This girl is not as good as the imperial sisters. If she goes to a distant place, she will suffer and be wronged. Occasionally in the past two years, I feel a little bit reluctant to think that she is about to get married."

Listening to her son's words, Lan Qi couldn't help thinking in her heart, the so-called family happiness should be like this.She is a blessed person.

After leaving the palace that day, Yinzhen went to the country's uncle's mansion the next day, and Tong Guowei was also traveling eastward with Shengjia, and was not at home. Empress Xiaoyi's younger brother Longkodo received Yinzhen.

Although Longkodo is of the same generation as Empress Xiaoyi, he can be regarded as the uncle of the fourth elder brother, but his age is similar to that of the eldest elder brother, and he does not look like an elder. When he was young, he occasionally went to the palace to greet the queen, and he also had contacts with the fourth elder brother. More like a brother or a friend.When we met today, we sat down and talked to each other after the ceremony, as usual.

Shun Anyan was not at home because of official business, so Longkodo sent someone to find his nephew and came back. While talking, the relatives who were guests at the house came to pay their respects. Some extravagance, Longkoduo knew that the fourth elder brother didn't like this kind of thing, so he dismissed it with a cold face, and said to Yinhu: "I'm a relative of my aunt's family, and I haven't seen the world."

Yinzhen didn't take it seriously, but asked along the lines of the words: "I heard that they brought a cousin who was born to be beautiful, and she wanted to marry Shun Anyan?"

Longkodo laughed hurriedly: "Although my aunt intends to match, but Shun Anyan's marriage has nothing to do with the family. It must be played to the emperor and get the nod of the emperor." "Si elder brother wants to meet that girl?"

Yinzhen was a little displeased, knowing that Longkodo wanted to get off the hook, and said solemnly: "I just care about Shun Anyan. When the emperor's mother was alive, she loved this nephew the most. Now that he is of marriageable age, I should take the place of the emperor." Erniang cares about him a lot."

Longkodo hastily changed his tone, not daring to mention his cousin again, for fear of offending the fourth elder brother, he talked about other things indiscriminately, and finally waited for Shun Anyan to come back, so he left with an excuse so that they could talk alone.

But Yinzhen is very good at studying and running errands. He is a smart person, but he doesn't know where to bring up this matter.After wandering around with Shun Anyan for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, and felt that it would be more and more embarrassing to go on, so I broke my heart and asked directly: "If Wen Xian is married to you, would you like it? A quasi-belief, although you are childhood sweethearts, if you only treat Wen Xian as a sister, don't be too forceful."

Shun Anyan was stunned for a moment, not because of the embarrassment of the answer to the question, but because the fourth elder brother was talking about other things all over the place, and he was a little at a loss when he suddenly said such a sentence, but he knew it very well in his heart, and he calmed down. He replied: "If the princess marries far away, I am willing to be a servant and protect her for the rest of my life."

Yinzhen couldn't help snorting, patted Shun Anyan on the shoulder and said, "No wonder you are obedient to her, and you have been bullied by him since you were a child without saying a word. If my mother-in-law hears what you say, she will really feel relieved. "

After all, Shun Anyan was still young, so she couldn't help being a little shy, and the fourth elder brother asked him: "The princess was waiting for you at Shenwumen yesterday, why didn't you show up?"

He hurriedly explained, saying that he was busy with official business, and the princess had already left when he went. He thought he would explain to the princess later, but in order to welcome the holy car back to Luan these days, he really has no time to write a letter.

But Yinzhen said happily: "It's good for you to do the job with your heart like this. To live up to the queen's mother, I want my grandfather to teach you carefully."

Because of the good news, Yinzhen didn't have to go to the palace to explain to his mother in person, after telling Yuxi, he went back to the Jiumen barracks and asked his wife to go to the palace to report to his mother.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about these things in the house, Wen Xian stood outside the door and listened, and Xiao Chen'er listened on the door. They knew that the fourth brother went to find Shun Anyan today, and now the fourth sister-in-law came, almost It should be for that.

When the fourth sister-in-law recounted Shun Anyan's sentence "If the princess marries far away, I am willing to be a servant and protect her for the rest of my life", Wen Xian immediately froze.

Xiao Chen'er hugged her and said joyfully, "Sister, did you hear that? There is no such thing as a cousin. Brother Shun Anyan has only his sister in his heart."

Wen Xian regained his composure and was both happy and ashamed. He pulled his sister away quickly, muttering: "He is duplicity. I waited for him for two hours yesterday. My feet were frozen and I didn't even see a ghost. Don't call him I caught it, so I have to settle accounts with him."

On the other side, Lan Qi happily listened to his daughter-in-law conveying his son's words, Yu Xi was also beaming, and said with a smile: "Yinzhen has always been thinking about his younger sister's marriage, if he gets closer to the uncle's house, he will feel relieved. "

Lan Qi nodded, but said: "This matter has to wait for the queen mother and the emperor to make a decree. It is not appropriate to publicize it now, but when it is done, Er Niang has a lot of things to entrust to you. In the future, the capital will choose a site to build the princess mansion. There are a lot of things to be discussed at home and abroad, your sister is the heart of the Empress Dowager, I don't need to come forward, and it must be very complicated, and I will have to trouble you when the time comes."

Yuxi agreed one by one, but she had to mention Hongyu, and said worriedly: "The child is getting worse these days, Er Niang, you have prepared in your heart, if that day comes, please don't be too sad."

Lan Qi sighed softly, and asked her daughter-in-law: "How is side Fujin? When I go back to the palace, you bring her to pay her respects. She looks good. How about these days?"

Yuxi pursed her lips, as if hesitating for something, she really thought for a long time before answering: "She is having a bad day these days, Erchen thinks it over, if Hongyi is really gone, the only one who can comfort her is Yinzhen, come It’s good to let Yinzhen stay with her as often as possible. But don’t get me wrong, Er Niang, I don’t act like that to pretend to be magnanimous, but I just want to have a peaceful home. After all, if Hongyu is gone, Yinzhen will also be sad.”

Lan Qi smiled slightly and said: "The things I said to you in the past were not to blame you for doing wrong, but to feel sorry for you for losing yourself. Just remember, no matter what you do, don't hurt your relationship with Yinzhen. Most likely, you can't be wrong. When you don't understand, just ask me, there is no one in this world who cares more about Yinzhen than Ama Erniang and you."

A few days later, Shengjia arrived in Beijing smoothly, so there were many concubines in his entourage. After the emperor and queen mother arrived, the people behind followed one after another. For most of the day, horses and horses entered and exited the Forbidden City. The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother led the guards to conduct rigorous inquiries. Everyone who comes in and out, just in case there are mermaids stealing into the imperial city.

When Lan Qi was serving the Empress Dowager in Ningshou Palace, the old man laughed with her and said, "Yinzhen came to greet her when she entered the city, and escorted her all the way into the palace. I saw him riding beside him in the car, with extraordinary demeanor. I was really in a daze. I still remember what he looked like when he was a child."

Lan Qi smiled modestly: "That child is still very young, and he is not reliable in doing things."

The queen mother said: "The children have grown up in a blink of an eye. On the way back, the emperor told me about the marriage between the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and Wen Xian. The tenth elder brother has been raised by me these years, so naturally I have to worry about him. But Wen Xian's marriage, I'd better leave it to you. This time I went to Karaqin, I felt more and more reluctant to marry Wen Xian too far away. The emperor meant to get closer to the uncle's mansion. I think that It is a good thing that the two children have been together since they were young. I don’t know what you think, but if everyone is happy, we should make an appointment earlier, lest Shun Anyan’s child be outside. Wen Xian is loving and harmonious, just causing trouble."

Before Lan Qi returned to the palace, Xuan Ye told her that she planned to use this tour to mention her daughter's marriage to the Queen Mother. It was planned more than ten years ago, but now everything is as he expected, and she asked the children clearly. All right.Joyful in her heart, she couldn't help saluting the queen mother solemnly, thanking the queen mother for her kindness in nurturing Wen Xian, but the queen mother smiled and said: "Thank you, I should also thank the emperor. You haven't seen each other for a long time, I have nothing to do here."

It just so happened that a court lady came to report that all the elder brothers, concubines and princesses who had traveled had returned, so the queen mother told them not to come to pay their respects, and see you again in a few days, and urged Lan Qi: "Go to clean the palace, the emperor It’s been a tough journey, too.”

The Empress Dowager urged her again and again, Lan Qi had no choice but to leave, and led Huanchun and others to Qianqing Palace, just in time to meet Concubine Tong and her party entering the palace.Their carriages and horses moved a bit slower, and they were almost the last ones to enter the door. Two warm sedan chairs were taken in front and behind. Concubine Tong's maid came to greet her early, saying that her mother was unwell, and she would gossip with Concubine De in the future. After passing by, the first sedan chair stopped, and the nobleman got off the sedan chair to salute.

"You look exhausted, go back and rest earlier." After listening to the nobleman's explanation, Lan Qi knew that Concubine Tong had suffered from the wind and cold when she was approaching the capital, and seeing that Guerjia's face was also haggard, she ordered the imperial hospital She sent someone to Chuxiu Palace to take care of Concubine Tong, and told her and the nobles to take care of their health, and they soon left.

When approaching the Qianqing Palace, the people behind were far away, Huanchun whispered in the master's ear: "When the slaves went to Jingyang Palace to greet Concubine Rong, Ji Xin said that there were all kinds of people who served the emperor along the way. There are all of them, but they have nothing to do with the nobleman."

Lan Qi said: "Didn't the emperor say that they are too young." But she immediately looked at Huan Chun sullenly, and said bitterly, "There are all kinds of people, it's really lively."

But when their master and servant were about to go forward again, they saw the prince and concubine going to the gate of Qianqing palace from a distance, Lan Qi couldn't help but stop, stopped Huanchun and said, "Let's go back."
