Chapter 28: Concubine De is seriously ill
The first year of Yongzheng. It is destined to be a restless year. Actually, in my opinion. The Qing Dynasty has never been at peace.
Early May. Concubine De suddenly became seriously ill. Although the fourth master is no longer looking forward to her maternal love as he was at the beginning. But in the end, I still feel sad. But the court was too busy. He could only let me go and see it every day.
Concubine De actually doesn't want to see me. Every time I go. She closed her eyes and didn't speak.
I don't care about any of that. It's just for the sake of the fourth master that he is willing to go and see it every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to her. I have to face those 'women' who I don't want to see. Nala Clan. Or Concubine Qi.
Until one day. Concubine De suddenly retreated left and right. Just say you want to talk to me.
I sat on a small chair next to the bed. Looking at her weak face: "What does the concubine have to say. Let's get it straight."
Concubine De blinked: "You girl...... This palace. A flamboyant 'girl' like you. No one has ever lived as long as you have."
"That's the Emperor Ama and the Imperial Grandmother are well protected."
"No...... You're too smart...... You know deep down what to do when and when. That's why you can fake your death and get out of the palace. to come back with such fanfare." Concubine De coughed lightly twice. I can't see it. Walked over and patted her on the back.
She smiled, "You kind heart. Sooner or later, it will hurt you." I don't know if it's okay. She didn't care if I was actually listening, "You know what. I'm so jealous of you. You have the supreme glory of being a 'woman' in this Qing Dynasty. It also has the wholehearted favor of an emperor. You are the emperor's favorite 'daughter'. is also the most distressed lover of today's emperor. You 'girl' like you. In this palace. Who wouldn't hold a grudge."
I shook my head. She smiled: "If it weren't for the emperor who doted on you so much. I may have killed you long ago. But he loves you so much. So protect you too well."
"Concubine Nade. How did you 'drugged' me? The five stones are scattered. But it really made me suffer."
"Hehe~ What is that. I vouch. You've long since faded away from those residual toxic 'sex', haven't you? It's a pity, though. You are in this house. There is no name in the end."
"It's not important to be famous."
"Doesn't it matter. No...... The 'girl' in this house. Not a whole life. They all want a name. The slave wants to be the master. The concubine wants to be a queen. No name. What are you in this house?"
"You've got a name. But do you still have the life to enjoy?"
Concubine De smiled sarcastically: "It's not important. I will be recorded in the annals of history. I will be buried with the emperor."
"Even if you are buried together. He still only loves that one 'girl' in his heart. I don't have half of your place."
"No......" she was suddenly in pain. lowered his eyes: "He still has my ...... in his heart"
"Really."
Concubine De looked up at me. There was hatred in his eyes: "He still has mine in his heart. Otherwise. Why should I choose my child to be emperor?"
"Your child." I think it's funny: "The fourth master is the child of Empress Xiao Yiren."
Concubine De shook her head: "No...... He's my child...... The emperor is also mine...... They're all mine. It's mine."
She gradually calmed down. Tell your story leisurely...
Decades ago. She has just entered the palace. I fell in love with that god-like man. He's not actually handsome. At least not when she's in the boudoir. Nalan Rongruo, who I had accidentally seen, was so handsome. But that day became an emperor's posture. Heroic and domineering. In the end, she captured the heart of her young 'girl'.
Initially. He had spoiled her in the boudoir, too. That's why she was able to give birth so quickly.
She thought the years were quiet. Guarding him and the child from then on. You can also live a peaceful life in this house.
But she was wrong. She gradually found out. He didn't love her. He seemed to be about the same for each of the concubines. To whom to spoil more. It's just for the sake of balance in the court. in his heart. There is only the 'girl' who he calls Yi'er.
That 'girl'. It's really jealous. She's more beautiful than she. Smarter than her. Better than her family background. Better than everything about her......
And the most critical thing is. She is the person the emperor really cares about.
How jealous she was. How I hate her. The only thing that is gratifying. It's that I have a child. And she has nothing to come out of.
She thought. In the end of this palace. If you don't have children, you don't have status. No matter how much the emperor pampered her, what could he do? She doesn't have any children.
But she was pregnant. She panicked. I don't know what to do.' The natural part of the woman's viciousness suddenly sprouted from her heart. She didn't even know when this malice had taken root. It was already wrapped around her heart like a vine.
She began to win hearts and minds. Give her a 'medicine' in her diet and tonics. She worries every day. But there was a vicious joy in my heart.
But she still gave birth to a child. Although just a sick little princess. But the Emperor was as happy as if it were his first child.
She's jealous. She hates.
When the 'girl' finally lost her only 'daughter'. She was so happy that she almost danced in her room. But joy begets sorrow. The emperor took her son. Her Yinzhen. Just so that the 'girl' doesn't miss the 'girl' too much......
Hatred spreads. It's not just for that 'woman' anymore. to the young, one's own son. She also hated it. Why. On what basis. She's already had so much. But she can still have her son. Even her son's sincere filial piety and love.
Hate. Hate......
It's in the midst of such hatred. She secretly drugged the emperor and she became pregnant again.
Another son.
But the son went so early......
Her Yinzuo. That's it.
She asked herself softly. Is this retribution?
She began to chant sutras and chant Buddha. But he still couldn't calm the hatred and jealousy in his heart.
The emperor no longer pampered her. It's been a long time since I spoiled her. She was no different from being in a cold palace. Maybe there are some differences. It's just that this difference. It's only that she has to endure this loneliness and loneliness. to deal with the meaningless battles of the harem.
She's tired. But he couldn't stop hating.
She couldn't deal with the 'woman'. So she turned the finger on the newly favored concubine.
How cowardly that 'woman' is. You can bully as much as you want. There is no status. No background. Only the emperor's favor for a while. That's all.
Finally. She stayed up, she stayed up. Wait for another child. This kid. It was an accident after the emperor got drunk. I didn't even pick a name. Instead, he took the homophone of the child. It's called Yinzhen.
But she loved the child. She knows. Maybe. This is her life. The only child left.
At this time. In her narrow heart. Yinzhen is already the child of other 'female'. It's not her first pregnancy and baby again.
The 'woman' is dead. Finally dead. She thought that the emperor would soon pamper her again. Soon will forget about that 'female' person.
But he didn't......
She's dead. It was as if his heart had died with it.
He no longer had a favorite concubine. He is the same to everyone.
The kid came back to himself. But look at him. She couldn't help but think about it. They are a happy family of three.
Oh, yes. They are a family of three.
She once sneaked to Chengqian Palace to see it. The emperor was with her. The look of the deep love of the husband and wife. And their son stood in front of them, carrying his homework. Father's kindness and son's filial piety. Husband and wife are deeply in love. Such a picture. It's like just a normal family. Happiness and warmth......
This picture. In the heart of her lonely and lonely in the palace of hard guarding. Rooted.
She hates this son. She hates him.
She made her youngest son. The brother with the same name as him hated him too. If there's anything that comforts her. And that was after the 'woman' left. The emperor no longer liked his eldest son.
Sometimes. She will also feel a little distressed Yinzhen. He lost the royal mother who took care of himself. Lost Amma's love again. Even his own biological mother can't love him. What a poor child......
But another change of thought. She asked herself again. Why do you feel sorry for the son of another 'woman'?
That's all. More than ten years. Twenty years have passed......
The emperor to her. Still tepid. And that eldest son. Raised other children......
Concubine Liang's son is really funny. Since childhood, he has known how to win people's hearts. She suddenly saw an opportunity. Since then, he has deliberately wooed the child.
Without the favor of the emperor. She also knew that she would never get his heart. Thereupon. Power. This is something that everybody is fighting for. It has become the only attachment in her heart.
The eighth child is such a funny kid. She watched as he deliberately flattered himself. also pushed the boat down the river to help him marry Gege of Guo Luoluo's family. This is not ordinary. on her. also keeps the blood of Aisin Jueluo. Let's be honest. The old eight has such a background. Where is worthy of such a noble character?
But she's doing it well. Finally, I saw the emperor give them a marriage.
The youngest son asked himself, "Such a good character. Why doesn't E-Niang want to do it. Let Huang Ama Xu give it to the fourth brother. It's about giving it to someone else. The wife and concubine of the fourth brother. I didn't have such a good background."
Oh, yes. Why.
She asked herself. Why do you have to treat your own son like this?
No, no, no. He is not his own son. He's the 'female' person......
Everything is moving as you expect. The pace of the struggle for power and profit is getting faster and faster. She watched. The sarcastic laughter of the heart drowned out all the sounds. She knows. He's going to fail. Until that time. In the same camp as him. can compete for the position of the prince. It's just his youngest son.
She stroked the bracelet on her wrist. Say softly to yourself: Wait. Wait until your son becomes emperor. She is the queen mother. Until then. The emperor still has to be buried with himself......
You see. Decades have passed. She still cares about the matter of being buried with the emperor......
Joint burial ......
In the Royal. That's an honor that only husband and wife have.
Sometimes she thinks. If you die early. Will he just think about himself? Just like he did to Hesheri. To Tong Jiashi. To Concubine Min......
