Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Five days later, the emperor and the empress dowager met at Qingkou smoothly. During the five days, there was nothing unusual around the empress dowager. Concubine Hui was by her side, taking care of everything by herself, and taking care of the other concubines and the prince's boats. Everything was safe and secure. Even the queen mother praised in front of the emperor: "After all, concubine Hui is calm. If you want to go around to patrol in the future, just leave our mothers and walk slowly. We will not delay the tour, and the emperor will not delay the serious business." .”

Xuan Ye was pleased, and with gentle words, he expressed that he was very relieved of Concubine Hui, and told her to be devoted to the queen mother all the way in the future, so that the emperor could go around and inspect the river embankment without any worries.Concubine Hui was happy on the face, but even more happy in her heart. During the east tour, the emperor told her that she was already in her fifties. Then it will be fine.

At that time, Concubine Hui thought, it was nothing more than the emperor felt that something was wrong, and called her to say a few nice words, but she didn't expect these things later, as if she had regained the feeling of being trusted back then, excited and apprehensive, and more cautious , I don't want my subordinates to make a mistake.

A few days later, a large army was stationed in Gaoyou, and the emperor took all the princes and Yu Chenglong to go busy on their own. The female relatives finally rested on the land, and they didn't bother to move around at all, but they were bored after two days of idleness, but the queen mother was getting old. I was so happy to stop and be quiet for two days to recuperate my mind, and I didn't even have the pleasure of singing and watching operas. As expected, it was very boring to go on tour with the Queen Mother.When we get together, the parents gossip shortly and gossip, and there will be gossip.

After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor took the princes and ministers away from the main army many times. The last time he walked for five days, he did not come back from time to time in the past few days. People, look for flowers and willows elsewhere.

These days I was resting in Concubine Yi's room, and when I asked Concubine Xi why Migui didn't see anyone when she left the house, saying that she was so weird about being elusive, Concubine Xi was already used to being asked questions, and she still pushed this matter on the emperor , Moved out of the holy place to scare everyone: "I asked her, and said that it was the Long Live Lord who didn't let her associate with us.

While talking, people from the emperor's side came to greet the empresses. Concubine Yi was pretending to be magnanimous at the moment, but as soon as the person left, she asked her people to ask her where she was going next. Hearing that he was going to Yangzhou, he couldn't help snorting: "The fireworks are going down in Yangzhou in March. The emperor really picked a day to come here. The flowers and plants on the roadside are of course fresher than those in the palace."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, when they left Concubine Yi's place, when they came out, Zheng Jian and nobleman and nobleman Jue Chan accompanied Concubine Tong for a walk. Pulling Xi Concubine, he said: "It's pitiful for the nobleman. If the emperor finds a new person to bring back, what will happen to her? Is it true that women from aristocratic families are not as beautiful as Jiangnan? That nobleman is now , still bullying you?"

Concubine Xi is now living a peaceful and peaceful life, and other people's affairs have nothing to do with her, and the little Wang family is very different from the one who died, and her prejudice against Han women has long since disappeared.Xiao Wang is gentle, humble and considerate. If other Jiangnan beauties are like this, no wonder the emperor is happy to take care of them by his side. But those aristocratic women are born with pride in their bones, and the emperor will definitely be annoyed when they see them.

The concubine Jing sighed: "You said why the concubine de concubine didn't come and let concubine Hui take advantage of it for nothing. If she really comes back, will we be hated if we haven't treated her well in the past two years?"

Concubine Xi lazily said: "It may not be bigger than Concubine De, what should we worry about?"

But at this time in the deep palace, Lan Qi didn't know that she was still being talked about thousands of miles away, but the emperor sent her a letter in two or three days, and it was only a month since she left the house, and there was already a thick stack of letters in Yonghe Palace.When Xuan Ye was tired, he only asked her if she was okay, and when he was in good spirits, he would write a few pages about what happened to him, and even continued to complain in the letter that Lan Qi did not accompany her on the southern tour. Side by side, but it seems to be together all the time.

That day, I was sitting idle in Jingyang Palace with Concubine Rong, and the third elder brother sent a letter of greeting to her mother to the palace. Concubine Rong asked Lan Qi to read the letter to her, knowing that the emperor was going to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, Concubine Rong tsk tsk: Many years have passed, and the events of that year are vivid in my mind, but now things are different, and the empress has passed away for many years. I don’t know which one of us will be remembered when the emperor visits the old place again.”

Lan Qi listened quietly, and Concubine Rong said again: "I used to talk about getting older, but in fact I relied on my youth in my heart. Now that I think about it, it's absurd. If I have time to do such boring things, I should do it more. Cherish your youth well."

"My sister is just feeling emotional, nothing really sad, who in the world will not grow old, it is a blessing to be able to grow old, how many people die young, how many children have never seen their youth?" Lan Qi looked peaceful, Smiling, "We are blessed."

Concubine Rong was in a better mood, but said again: "I heard that Concubine Hui is in charge of this journey, she looks decent and saw the previous scene again, do you think she will make a comeback after she comes back?"

Lan Qi didn't take it seriously: "Everyone does the same things in the palace. The emperor has nothing to worry about. But as for her, I don't think so. She is the only one who goes out with her. She can make the emperor feel at ease when she does things. Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi are both wealthy, so we can't count on them."

Concubine Rong couldn't help but think of Concubine Tong when she thought of coming with the nobleman, she couldn't stop tsk-tsk: "You are a beautiful person, and you have a good temper. Why doesn't the emperor like it? If she goes to the south of the Yangtze River, there will be nothing wrong with her."

Regarding this, Lan Qi didn't say a word, what she did or didn't do was all in her heart, and she just had to understand how to look at all of this.Concubine Rong chattered endlessly, and counted the concubines in the palace, feeling that the population is prosperous now, thinking that when she and concubines Duan tremblingly accompanied the emperor, the six palaces were empty, only the concubines and concubines complained.

At this time, someone came in again to spread the word, saying that Sanfujin was not feeling well, and asked the empress to send the imperial doctor to the county palace. Concubine Rong dismissed the man impatiently, and complained to Lan Qi: "If you are pregnant with a child, you should treat yourself as the king of heaven. People come to send me this and that, if she is one-tenth as good as your Yuxi, I will be satisfied."

But Lan Qi thought in her heart that no one is perfect, and her family, Yuxi, is in poor health and cannot bear more children. Sure enough, everyone's fortune and luck are different.After that, when I returned from Jingyang Palace, I was thinking about my son's family. After all, he was not at home. People rest assured.

I thought that the days until the emperor's return would be spent peacefully, but in late March, Lanying hurried into the palace, and she shed tears as soon as she entered the door, pulling her sister and saying, "I don't want to be with A Ling'a." Yes, my sister will let him divorce me soon."

Lan Qi thought it was A Ling'a who was looking for flowers and asking Liu outside and offended her younger sister, and wanted to persuade her to calm things down, but Lan Ying said that it was the emperor who went to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress corruption there, and shocked all the officials in the capital from thousands of miles away.It turns out that although the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, but relying on the protection of the imperial court, how can it not communicate with the ministers of the capital, few of the civil and military officials are clean, and their family has made a lot of money from it. Burning letters at home, and raising funds everywhere, I don't know what to fill the vacancy, Lan Ying cried and said: "He almost got my idea, eyeing those dowries."

"What kind of silver is missing, so much money? What did he do?" Lan Qi was terrified when she heard this. The emperor suppressed corruption in the early years. The capital obviously did it on purpose, Ah Ling and the others knew the emperor's intentions the most, if it wasn't for the danger and inevitability, they might not be so nervous.

Lan Ying resented: "Their family's head salary, how can they support such a big house, I already knew that they were not clean, and I tried to persuade them several times, but he always perfunctory me. I really can't control him, and I don't want to live with him because he's making money everywhere as a relative."

Lan Qi could only persuade: "Husband and wife should be in the same boat. He made mistakes, and you should take responsibility together with him. Don't tell me you haven't lived the comfortable life brought by gold and silver?"

"Sister, what's the use of saying this now? If Ah Ling really committed a crime, I will go to jail with him." Lan Ying looked at her sister pitifully, and Lan Qi finally understood, where did her sister come from? The one who made a fuss with herself about splitting up with Ah Ling, she came to rescue soldiers, and wanted to help a group of Ah Ling from herself, but she didn't understand these things, the only thing she understood was that the emperor hated corruption deeply, and the emperor's relatives Many of them paid their lives for it, and Ama, who is now in the Eight Fortunes, also fell on it back then.

"Sister... what should we do?" Lanying didn't hide anymore, she lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes, sobbing, "We have a big family, and the children are young. I can do whatever I want with him, children what to do?"

When mentioning the child, Lan Qi's heart softened, she called Huan Chun, went to dig out her body, and stuffed it to her younger sister, saying: "Take it to make up for the shortfall, I don't have many here, they are all prepared for the children." , but now the Empress Dowager is taking over Wen Xian's marriage, and the younger ones won't need it for two years, so you take it first."

But Lan Ying looked at her sister timidly, and asked anxiously: "There is always a way to make up for the money, I am not here to ask you for money, I am afraid that if Linga commits a crime, it will be useless even if you make up the money , sister, what should I do?"

Lan Qi was not perfunctory, and said sternly: "If something happens, my sister will definitely protect you and your children. I probably still have these abilities. But Ying'er, what should the men who committed crimes in your family do? My sister may not be able to help. , I will try my best, but I really don't know what step I can do for you, so don't blame me."

However, this wave of anti-corruption did not last long. On the contrary, more than half a month later, the news came from Jiangnan that the emperor still pardoned many people's crimes. As a result, there was a lot of turmoil in the capital, and the officials had various ideas The son made up for the gap, but in the end it was no big deal.No one knows what the emperor is going to do, but he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but he has recovered a lot of money owed to the treasury.
