Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

"What do the world think of me?" At this point, she settled down and asked Tong Guowei calmly, "What does Uncle Guo think?"

Tong Guowei frowned slightly and said: "The minister's words are very clear, your empress..."

But Lan Qi interrupted him leisurely, and asked gently: "I think the world will not know, I know the time when the emperor governed the court in Qianqing Palace, the world will not see me in the palace, and the world will not know the emperor's time." Who was lucky enough to recruit last night, or whom to have lunch with today, it is strictly forbidden to reveal the slightest bit of things in the Forbidden City. Uncle Guo, do you know?"

Tong Guowei frowned and said nothing. He looked at Concubine De inexplicably, with a bit of hostility. After all, the Wu Ya clan was the thorn in their side at first. This is an embarrassing situation now, but the matter has come to an end, he can only follow the path left by his daughter.

Lan Qi saw that he was silent, presumably Tong Guowei could understand her own mind, and it would be aggressive if she talked too much, Tong Guowei was an elder and veteran after all.And what she meant was very simple, it was they who were watching the affairs in the palace would know what was going on in the imperial city, so they naturally thought that everyone in the world knew about it.

Obviously they used the concubines and women, and the women in the harem can never really influence and decide anything.The Empress Dowager had long told her that beauty is the best excuse for an incompetent man to evade responsibility. It is useless for Bao Si Da Ji to destroy the country. It is clearly Zhou You and Shang Zhou.

And there is another belief in Lan Qi's heart, which she instilled in Yinzhen early on. The world belongs to the emperor alone, so for her, if she wants to seek a future for her son, the only thing she has to do is to stand on the side of the emperor. Behind him, he became the person he trusted the most.Even if her intention is not to seek a future for her son, if it helps, why not do it.

"I understand the truth of the big tree attracting the wind. Thank you Master Tong for pointing it out. In order to prevent the fourth elder brother from being criticized behind the scenes by the ministers in the court, I will naturally be cautious in my words and deeds in the palace. This is what Empress Xiaoyi has always told six Palace matters." Lan Qi is serious, even though Tong Guowei is powerful, she still looks into his deep and old eyes, and smiles slightly, "As a concubine, the emperor's will is my will. What is the queen's last wish? The inheritor inherits, who do you think is Uncle Guo?"

"My lady's words..."

"I don't think we are in conflict." Lan Qi smiled slightly, bowed her head and said goodbye to Tong Guowei.Calling Huanchun to come forward, there is thin ice on the road, only by supporting each other can they walk steadily, at the same time, he ordered the little eunuchs, "A few more people to help the sedan chairs of Uncle Guo and Fujin."

But as soon as Lan Qi walked away, she slacked off on Tong Guowei's uprightness and prudence just now. Tong Guowei would suddenly come to say these words to herself. It is obvious that the court has begun to move around. The princes have just established themselves, and the ministers can't wait. reached out to them.Yinzhen doesn't know what kind of temptations and traps he will face outside, can he distinguish between good and evil?

And as the person closest to the emperor, Lan Qi faintly felt the emperor's wavering heart for the prince early on, but even so, she did not dare to dig out her desire to seek a future for her son from the bottom of her heart. Once the things about her were brought up from the bottom of her heart, she would become the woman Xuan Ye said was scheming all day long.

In any case, she couldn't count on Xuan Ye.

Lan Qi suddenly stood still, covering her chest with one hand, Huan Chun nervously asked her if she was unwell, but Lan Qi said to herself: "I can only do things for the emperor, only for him."

Afterwards, when I went to Ningshou Palace, no matter how Lan Qi concealed her worries, she would show some uneasiness. The Queen Mother seemed to think that she was uncomfortable, and said to the old concubines of the clan: "Everything in the palace depends on Concubine De Cooking, such a big family, she is naturally hard."

The old concubines with noble backgrounds all knew the position of Empress Concubine De in the emperor's heart. Even if they looked down on her background, they would not despise her face to face, but they passed their dissatisfaction on to others, and sighed to each other, quite complaining: "Listen It is said that the emperor dotes on Han women more now. There are many side Fujin and concubines who were born in the prince's elder brother's house, not to mention our families. All the Han women are like fairies who come out of paintings, very charming It’s fine for men and children to like it, but if they like it so much that they have children, it will almost shake the status of the royal family, and those of us who are full of noble blood will be ruined.”

Another person said: "Isn't it? They are all imitating the emperor's appearance. With the emperor's support, what we say will not work."

The Empress Dowager was not afraid of offending these people, but there was no need to say harsh words to embarrass them, so she perfunctory them, and said to Lan Qi after they were gone: "You just heard what you just heard, don't tell the emperor, don't call him Adding to my heart. Our serious elder brothers are all of noble birth, and those born to girls from the Han family are so young, what can they do?"

"The emperor promotes the Manchu and Han family, and the Han family culture has been passed down for thousands of years. In the eyes of the emperor, it is supreme." Lan Qi said with a smile, "The emperor often said that those children from aristocratic families rely on a few drops of noble blood in their bones. No matter how orthodox, the family will be ruined sooner or later. In a big family, the children of concubines are often more motivated, and they don't have the squeamishness to be superior to others, so they naturally work hard everywhere."

When Lan Qi said it, she didn't think much about it, but when she saw the Queen Mother muttering to herself: "That's right, why not, my brothers?" The accusation of the prince's suspicion, Yinzhen's status as a descendant is not orthodox after all, only the prince is the descendant of the princes, and everyone can see how capable the prince is.

The queen mother didn't seem to think much about it, and then discussed other matters with Lan Qi, and gave Lan Qi the dowry accumulated for Wen Xian over the years, and asked her to tidy up at home if she didn't accompany her on a southern tour.

Lan Qi was surprised by the queen mother's thoughts. If Wen Xian's dowry was really sent out in this way, it would be in line with Tong Guowei's saying "the tree attracts the wind". The queen mother is not marrying her granddaughter, is she marrying her own daughter?

But the queen mother smiled and said: "I am alone, and I can't spend much money. All I have saved over the years are distributed to the children. Don't think that Wen Xian has a lot here. I left almost the same for Yin Qi. It's just ten elder brothers It's a bit of a treat, but what Imperial Concubine Wen Xi left behind is enough for him to set up his own family."

As the queen mother said, she suddenly thought: "Why did I forget again, now you and Niu Hulu's family are relatives, and their family will do their best for the affairs of Brother Shi's house."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "The tenth elder brother's house and Wen Xian's princess mansion have to be opened up, and the concubine has entrusted Ah Ling and his wife to take care of them. Naturally, everything is handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the rules. They just help to see A few glances. As for Brother Jiu, of course Concubine Yi will worry about it herself."

The queen mother sighed: "I didn't expect the imperial concubine to leave a son, and you will take care of her in the end. When you married your sister to Ah Ling'a, she was so unwilling to do so. It's all evil."

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously: "Because of elder brother's marriage to the princess, and the sealing of the Sixth Palace, most of the concubines will not accompany you on the southern tour. You can just go and play with peace of mind. When you come back, everything will be in order."

Lan Qi withdrew from Ningshou Palace that day, and finally took a breather at home. News came from the Sibeile Mansion outside the palace, saying that the little elder brother was not doing well, but she thought that Honglin was going to pass that night. He insisted on holding on again, hanging on his breath, and when there was another news the next day, it said that Hongyu had recovered.

Lan Qi stayed up all night worrying about her little grandson, now that she heard that the child has recovered, she hoped that he could live a healthy life, but Yinzhen went to the palace in the afternoon to say hello, with a serious expression on her face, and told her mother clearly that the child might live. Soon, please prepare your mother's heart and don't be too sad.

The child who is not in front of the door is indeed not heartbroken, and Yinzhen came today because he wanted to discuss with his mother about the southern tour.Shengjia plans to start driving on the third day of February, and there are not many days left to prepare. The ministers at the front station have already set off, and the large troops will leave soon.

"If Hongyu died in front of him, my son can rest assured to accompany him, but if he is still holding his breath, how can I accompany Huang Ama on the southern tour?" After all, they are blood, how can Yinzhen be cold and heartless.

"Leave the family affairs to Yuxi." Lan Qi reassured her son, "Since Huang Ama has appointed you to accompany me this time, don't miss this great opportunity. I don't know when the next southern tour will be. You guys It’s not easy to travel far. You went there once when you were a child, and now you go to see what has changed, and your vision and mind will be broadened.”

"But Honglin..."

"To decide whether to go or stay, someone has to be a lover, and Er Niang will do it." Lan Qi said to her son seriously, "The child is doomed to go, it's useless for you to accompany him, and he can't help it." I don't know that my father is by my side. Although you are a father, you are also a son. Now your father wants you to escort him, and you can't shirk it. Er Niang and Yuxi will look after this family for you. We have no fate."

Yinzhen said solemnly: "I didn't expect Er Niang to say such a thing, you don't think so in your heart, do you?"

Lan Qi laughed and said, "Emiang just knows that you will never regret traveling with Huang Amanan."

The mother and son talked for a long time, Yinzhen gradually put down the burden, and when he left, he walked to the palace gate with his mother, Lan Qi suddenly asked her son: "Last time you went to the uncle's mansion, and when you came back, you told me that Longkoduo was not in the right mind. Did you tell anyone else? Did you tell Uncle Guo?"

Yinzhen shook his head: "I don't often see their family members, only Shun Anyan has more contacts, and it's also because of Wen Xian."

"That's good. After all, it's their family business. You just need to understand it in your heart."
