Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Lan Qi thought that when she saw the Crown Princess sitting in front of the Yuqing Palace in a daze that day, she must have encountered some major incident to lose her composure, but she never inquired about the affairs of Yuqing Palace. It got to that point.But what she could say was not her own son and daughter-in-law, so she could only talk and laugh: "The emperor takes the children's quarrels seriously? When my concubine is bold, she still quarrels with you. How can those words be counted?" .”

"Kids?" Xuan Ye snorted coldly, and asked Lan Qi, "Are they still kids?"

Lan Qi was taken aback, wasn't she?The crown prince was already 25 at the beginning of May, and the elder brother was already in his thirties. She always treated Yinzhen's brothers and sisters as children, and inadvertently included the elder brother and the prince.

"What did the prince tell you?" Up to now, Lan Qi could only say a few words with Xuan Ye. The weather was boring, and it was even worse for him to keep it in his heart.

Xuan Ye said that the incident was over and the couple had reconciled as before, but the cause of the incident made him heartbroken. This time he deliberately lured the ministers in Beijing to make up for the deficit, but he did not expect to involve the prince. The natal family made up for it, and the husband and wife had conflicts because of this. The princess didn't care about it, but the prince couldn't bear it, and felt that he was dwarfed in front of his wife.

Lan Qi was shocked when she heard that, she couldn't care less about asking the prince, and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, is there such a thing in Yinzhen's hands?"

Xuan Ye shook his head: "The errands he's handling right now don't have any oil or water." The emperor sighed wearily, "The emperor's grandmother said a long time ago that cooks don't steal grain and don't accept it, so I look down on some bribes in officialdom, but they are not greedy enough. , if I don't rectify it, this country will be hollowed out by them."

Lan Qi caressed his heart to comfort him: "The emperor calm down."

Xuan Ye was extremely angry: "It's even better now, the princes are also greedy, and the upper and lower teams should cooperate with each other. Maybe one day they will even steal the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to exchange for silver."

Seeing the emperor's words becoming more and more serious, Lan Qi thought about the matter at her sister's house, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said anxiously: "Ah Ling's family is not out of touch with this matter, and Lan Ying even came to cry to the concubine. Now that the emperor and his concubine have brought it up, the concubine would like to ask the emperor one thing."

Xuan Ye frowned and looked at her, then nodded slightly: "Get up and talk."

Lan Qi didn't move, she looked up at him and said: "What a serious and solemn matter to suppress corruption, my concubine dare not cause you trouble, but this concubine only has a younger sister, Lan Ying, if the emperor wants to punish Ah Ling, I beg you Keep my younger sister and her children, and send them back to the concubine's family, even if she is said to be dead, don't get her involved, how about leaving her alive?"

Xuan Ye said solemnly: "What do you think of me when you say such a thing? When encountering such a thing, what do you think of first is selfishness?"

Lan Qi was flustered in her heart, but her will was firm, she nodded and said: "The concubine can't do the righteous thing of destroying relatives, even if Lanying can't leave Ah Ling to live alone, the concubine can't watch her die."

"What if I don't agree?"

"The emperor will agree." Lan Qi did not flinch, and kowtowed deeply, "One day, I will ask the emperor to make it happen."

But Xuan Ye's cold voice came from above his head and asked: "There is always room for Lanying's affairs, it is not difficult for me to rely on you, but if one day Yinzhen is also involved in this kind of matter, what will I do, and what will you do? "

Lan Qi tensed all over, and tried to calm down and said: "The concubine will tell Yinzhen that no matter how difficult it is in the court, he must not join forces, and don't leave anything in the hands of others. When one day he retreats completely, he Can come clean."

"Then it's settled. If my son has something to do with trespassing, I'll take you as a question." Xuan Ye's tone gradually relaxed, and he raised his hand to signal, "I can't help you now, so hurry up and sit next to me Come."

Lan Qi was a little confused, so she sat down, Xuan Ye held her hand and said: "Take care of my sons for me, beat them all the time, what you say as a mother is soft and pleasant, they don't care I will hate you. If I talk too much, they will not only be disgusted, but also feel that I don’t trust them. But no matter how much I trust, I can’t match the temptation of the colorful world. There are too many traps and mazes outside the Forbidden City. All the treacherous and cunning things are stretching out their hands, trying to pull away my sons one by one from my side. You have to take care of my sons for me."

"Yes." Lan Qi was uneasy, and agreed tremblingly.

Xuan Ye was very dissatisfied, and said with disgust: "Is it that difficult to say yes?" But he laughed as he said that, and hugged Lan Qi to let her lie on his chest, somehow he said, "The children are here with you, I am very relieved."

"The emperor is restless tonight, thinking about what to say, and the concubine can't keep up." Lan Qi struggled a little, put down Xuan Ye's hand, took the round fan beside her and shook it gently, and said softly , "I'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do. I'll be with you all the time and won't go away."

But Xuan Ye still stretched out his hand, held Lan Qi's cheek, and said affectionately: "I miss you so much, I feel relieved when I see you."

"I'm not going anywhere, just sitting here." Lan Qi realized that Xuan Ye's rationality was gradually being swallowed up by emotions, and understood that he must be extremely tired. Physical fatigue and pain would make people restless and make him completely Looking at things and people from an emotional point of view, she doesn't understand national affairs, and she doesn't have the wisdom and heart like the empress dowager, but she can take good care of her husband and make him face the world with vigor.

That night, the lights in the Qianqing Palace were extinguished early, Concubine De stayed there and did not leave. The people in the palace watched coldly, thinking that Concubine De would at least occupy the emperor for a while, but the next day the Emperor went to court, and Concubine De Not long after the concubine returned to the Yonghe Palace, she went to find the nobleman.

Concubine Tong accompanied the nobleman to the Yonghe Palace. Concubine Tong was also worried that Concubine De would misunderstand the nobleman. She wanted to say a few words for her, but she didn't expect that Lan Qi would call the nobleman to her and tell her something about the emperor. Likes and dislikes, tell her that those things must be cautious.After the clever little nobleman wrote it down, he asked her to go to Qianqing Palace to take care of the emperor, and said without hesitation: "The emperor flinched, and you have to persuade the emperor to restrain himself."

The young nobleman was very ashamed, she blushed and thanked En and left. Concubine Tong watched her go away, and said to Lan Qi in surprise: "It's the first time I see you pointing someone like this, but you really have a good temper with noblemen, Your Majesty There's nothing wrong with liking her."

"As long as you don't feel uncomfortable, I can handle it easily." Lan Qi smiled, "The emperor put her with you, obviously he will keep her by your side sooner or later, as long as your place is clean and won't let you learn from the nobles, Put it elsewhere or make people bully or seduce people, and it will be bad if it changes its nature."

Concubine Tong didn't know that there was such an intention, and she asked in more surprise: "Is this how the emperor treats Chuxiu Palace?"

Lan Qi nodded and smiled: "Otherwise?"

In this way, from the second day after Shengjia returned to Luan, he always accompanied the nobleman by the emperor's side, and when he was uncomfortable with the nobleman, it was the nobleman who took care of the emperor.The favor of the two nobles is comparable, but Mi noble is so low-key now that he doesn't even see anyone, and he is gentle and cute with the noble, but it is rare that when the emperor has a favorite concubine, no one in the palace can pick them out shortcoming.

A woman from the Han family and a daughter of the Manchu family not only get along well with each other, but also often communicate with the nobles in private. For Lan Qi and Xuan Ye, the nobles have never met the big and small Wangs. It doesn't matter if you keep in touch with the nobles, and you can't wait for the concubines to live in harmony, so that there will be peace in the six palaces.

The emperor's comfort was entrusted to two young and reliable people, which relieved Lan Qi a lot.The exhaustion brought about by staying with Qianqing Palace that night made me aware of the seriousness of it.Although she is not really old, after all, she can't compare to the energy of a [-]-something year old. If she wants to live a long life, she can't be too pushy. Right now, she still has the marriage of Princess Elder Brother waiting to be worked on. thing.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the scorching heat of June, and it was supposed to be a day to recuperate, but the Fujin of the nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers had not yet been selected, and even the queen mother was worried, and said with a smile that he went out to play crazy, and he forgot all the serious things, and the elder brother The Mansion and the Princess Mansion are both completed, and furniture and decorations are being added one after another. Even if the emperor wants to hold a wedding in July and August, it is more than enough to catch up.

Due to the hot weather, it is inappropriate to call all the girls to be selected into the palace. It is inevitable that they will suffer from heatstroke during the waiting time. The Empress Dowager took the concubines to see some people every day. The days dragged on for so long that Concubine Yi couldn't remember who she had seen. When the Empress Dowager fulfilled her promise to ask her to choose Ninth Brother herself, she couldn't explain why.

The queen mother couldn't help being angry, before she could figure it out, she decided on Fujin as the tenth elder brother, who was different from his brothers, and chose Abahai Borzigit, a beautiful girl from the Meng family, as the emperor's elder brother One of them was married to Mongolian Fujin.

In Lan Qi's view, the queen mother must have obtained the emperor's instruction to do so. The tenth elder brother is of the most prestigious family background among brothers. If not counting Yinzhen's complicated relationship, it is second only to the crown prince. They can compare with the third elder brother However, the emperor did not choose Fujin for him among the nobles of the Manchu family, but chose a Mongolian woman. Naturally, only the emperor himself understood the intention.

As for the ninth elder brother, he and his elder brother fifth elder brother got married early on. It seems that the clan that the ninth elder brother marries with doesn't seem to have much influence on the court. Promise, the emperor must know a thing or two, if it has influence, he will definitely try to stop it.

But Concubine Yi was confused. After the emperor issued an imperial decree to select the child of Abahai Borzigit's family for the ten princes, she hadn't given a letter of approval, and the queen mother couldn't help being angry. After delaying the matter, let Lan Qi tell the emperor, if Concubine Yi cannot make up her mind, let the emperor decide.
