Curious, Lan Qi'er pushed open the tattered wooden door, and a foul smell of feces and urine greeted her. She resisted the urge to vomit and continued to walk forward. She saw a mountain of toilets in front of her, and although she looked around, she felt an indescribable fear creeping through her heart.
Sadly, things didn't go her way. Soon after, she witnessed a woman in shabby coarse cloth sitting on a chair cleaning the dirty toilets. Lan Qi'er looked hard at the woman's face, and it felt like she was drenched in cold water from head to toe, and her whole body felt cold. She thought to herself, who is this?Isn't that her mother?Or is it her noble, gentle and elegant mother?
At this moment, Concubine Rong's face was haggard, her body was so thin that she was almost skinny and bent, and she was concentrating on the tasks that these humble servants were going to complete, looking at Concubine Rong's smooth and capable face. Lan Qi'er suddenly realized that the gorgeously dressed and noble Eniang who was dressed as an imperial concubine** was actually a forgery. The harmonious relationship between her and Kangxi is also fake. In fact, since she married Geerdan, she has lost the favor of the emperor, and was demoted here by Kangxi and humiliated her, I don't know how long she has suffered.
Whenever Lan Qi'er thought that Concubine Rong had suffered countless humiliations, she could no longer control her emotions, she cried out "E-Niang" in pain, and quickly ran over to hug Concubine Rong who was suffering tightly. "My child, how do you do this?Why are you so cruel. She cried out. Concubine Rong stood there stiffly, not knowing whether to put her hand on **, because she was worried that her daughter's gorgeous palace dress would be soiled. However, she suddenly changed her mind and hugged her daughter tightly as a "minion".
Lan Qi'er cried out in pain in Concubine Rong's arms, hurting Concubine Rong's feelings again and again. Concubine Rong sadly stroked Lan Qi'er's back, hoping that she could go back, and comforted her and said: E-Niang made some mistakes and was punished for a few days, but E-Niang will go back tomorrow, and E-Niang is safe.
Lan Qi'er walked out of Concubine Rong's arms, endured the sadness in her heart, and said to Eniang: "Don't say more, I already understand what you mean." I am about to leave the capital and rush back to Dzungar. I plan to lead Amida in a rebellion, just as Geldan did back then, and retake the city of Peking. She's going to kill me, I'm going to die!Lan Qi'er expressed her desire to leave, and Concubine Rong saw that Lan Qi'er was so resolute, so she said to her helplessly: Lan Qi'er, listen to me, on the day you launched the rebellion, E-Niang immediately ended her life.
Lan Qi'er felt helpless and shed tears of emotion. She grabbed Concubine Rong, hoping to go with her to see Emperor Kangxi, but Concubine Rong told her very reluctantly: "Lan Qi'er, no, my mother begs you, what happened today, the emperor must keep it secret, otherwise the emperor will hate me even more."
Lan Qi'er didn't understand why Concubine Rong was more willing to do those filthy servile jobs, and she didn't want to go to Emperor Kangxi. However, Concubine Rong said to her with a sad heart: Lan Qi'er, your E-Niang knows your Emperor Ama well-known, and the pain and suffering in his heart even surpasses that of your E-Niang, can you understand the reason?The pain in his heart is your own, you see. As a result of the rivalry between children and the slaughter of brothers, in this case, whoever is closest to your Emperor Ama may pass on his suffering. But you can rest assured that it won't be long before your Emperor Ama will wake up and realize her mistake and will personally pick up your Eniang. E-Niang firmly believes that such a day will eventually come, and she will keep waiting.
Lan Qi'er saw that her mother would rather endure injustice than firmly protect the palace and Kangxi, she could no longer control her emotions, and rushed out of the palace with tears in her eyes, ready to say goodbye to Kangxi.
The reunion of father and daughter only lasted for a while, but Lan Qier's heart had lost the warmth and harmony of the past. Her heart was filled with deep hatred for Kangxi, and she was eager to know why Kangxi treated her Eniang like this. But whenever she thought of Eniang's advice, she held back her emotions and told Kangxi with tears in her eyes: Huang Ama, I'm just here to say goodbye. I'm satisfied.
Kangxi asked Lan Qi'er suspiciously, but Lan Qi'er responded coldly: The emperor is still the emperor of the past, Eniang is also the Eniang of the past, and Lan Qier is also the Lan Qier of the past. "I am your emperor!As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the ** box given to her by the emperor to the ground, and then turned around and left without hesitation.
After Lan Qi'er left the palace, he never returned, but chose to stay forever on the grassland. Concubine Rong and Kangxi never saw Lan Qier again until the last moment of their lives, and the once happy "family of three" unfortunately came to a tragic end.
The relationship between Kangxi and Lan Qier is full of complex love-hate entanglements.
Lan Qi'er was Emperor Kangxi's favorite child, and his love for her even exceeded that of other princes. Although Kangxi has other daughters, only Lan Qier really won Kangxi's heart. This is not only because Lan Qier is really popular, but also because she was born to Kangxi and his beloved Concubine Rong.
Although Lan Qi'er is a royal character, she has also experienced a sweet and immature first love similar to that of ordinary girls, and this man is Li Guangdi. On the way back to Fujian Province with Concubine Rong to visit relatives, Lan Qier met Li Guangdi by chance. At that time, Lee was interceding for a group of orphans. Out of kindness, Lan Qi'er gave the food she and Concubine Rong carried to these orphans. At that particular moment, Lan Qi'er's kindness and enthusiasm deeply touched Li Guangdi, and Lan Qi'er also developed a deep affection for the loyal Li Guangdi.
When Lan Qi'er was only 16 years old, she was canonized as Princess Heshuo, and inspired by her, Li Guangdi also decided to stay and serve the imperial court. Later, Lee was promoted to governor for his outstanding contributions to Taiwan. Kangxi originally planned to officially marry Lan Qi'er to Li Guangdi after he became famous, and gave her a jade rabbit as a hint. But unexpectedly, Emperor Qianlong's quasi-Geer Han Geerdan actually had a good impression of the beautiful Lan Qi'er.
Geldan fell in love with her at first sight and couldn't extricate himself. Therefore, she asked Kangxi to marry Lan Qi'er. Kangxi originally planned to refuse, but because the national strength and army of the Qing Dynasty at that time were not as good as the tiger and wolf army commanded by Geerdan, after careful consideration, Kangxi finally decided to marry Lan Qier to Geerdan for the benefit of the Qing Dynasty.
Lan Qi'er was shocked to learn the news, she never expected that Huang Amma, who had always loved her deeply, would marry her to someone she had never met. When she learned the news, she felt like a bolt from the blue, and she felt extremely sad. With tears in her eyes, she begged Kangxi to retract her previous decision, insisting that she would not marry anyone, nor would she marry Li Guangdi or Junggar. But Kangxi's determination has been firm. Seeing that Kangxi was so determined, Lan Qi'er angrily broke the jade rabbit that Kangxi gave her, and pleaded with Xiaozhuang, hoping that she could persuade Kangxi not to send her a kiss. But Xiaozhuang was well aware of Kangxi's intentions, so she suggested that Lan Qier go with the flow and consider the interests of the Qing Dynasty.
Lan Qi'er realizes that even Hyo-jin will not help her, which makes her realize that harmony is a necessary choice. She believes that even if she struggles harder, it won't help, and that a better option is to accept the reality, and maybe this will find a new way out for her. "Let's go!So, accompanied by the eldest brother, Lan Qier began the journey to Dzungar, Mongolia.
Tang Du Shanfu once wrote such a poem: Send my concubine to guard the country, but I don't know that I can summon a general in **.
In this farewell to the capital, Lan Qier finally saw Kangxi's true face of ruthlessness. She did not hesitate to begin her journey of harmony, but Kangxi eventually chose to trade his beloved daughter for the short-lived peace and stability of the Qing Dynasty.
After walking for nearly two months to reach Mongol territory, Geldan personally led an army to pick her up. When Geldan took Lan Qi'er from the carriage, Lan Qi'er shot an arrow at the eldest brother and told him: Yin, from this moment on, I will be Ge'erdan's companion. This sentence clearly expresses Lan Qier's decision to sever ties with Kangxi and prepare to move forward or backward with Geerdan.
After Geldan and Lan Qier got married, Geerdan's concern for Lan Qier was meticulous and full of affection. Lan Qier also became happier and sweeter because of this unexpected love, and the two also raised a son named Amida together.
Although Lan Qier is in Mongolia, her longing for Kangxi and Concubine Rong has lasted for 10 years, which is enough to eliminate all the contradictions and estrangements between father and daughter. There is no longer resentment in her heart, only endless concern for her parents. She prays every day that her husband and father will be able to resolve the conflict and give her a peaceful life.
However, Kangxi and Geerdan have always been fierce rivals of each other, and the fate between them is often a matter of life and death, and Lan Qier is sandwiched between the two and tortured.
Over the course of 10 years, Geldan showed strong ambitions, and his power expanded rapidly, and his territory continued to expand. At the same time, after a series of rectifications in the Qing Dynasty, the country's strength gradually increased, giving it the strength to compete with Geerdan. Emperor Kangxi decided that the time was ripe, so he decided to go out in person and prepare to compete with Geerdan.
Lan Qi'er never expected to meet Concubine Rong again on the battlefield, nor did she ever think that Emperor Kangxi would want to shoot her. On the battlefield, she and Concubine Rong hugged each other tightly, burst into tears, and tried their best to prevent the two armies from fighting, but all efforts were unsuccessful. The sound of knives, horses, and artillery bombardment muffled their faint shouts.
When Lan Qi'er was tightly held in Concubine Rong's arms, her heart must have been deeply hurt. As a woman, she cut herself into two parts, one part for her relatives, Kangxi, and the other for her beloved, Geerdan. Now, a life-and-death battle is about to break out between her loved ones and her beloved, and the defeat or death of either side is a deep heartache for her.
In the first meeting, Geldan suffered a defeat. Although Geldan was forced to retreat, he managed to capture the eldest brother. Lan Qier does not want to see her loved one killed by her husband, so she risks betraying Gerdan to release him. In order to determine whether Kangxi really intended to hurt her, Lan Qier specially went to the eldest brother to ask. But the eldest brother didn't answer this question directly, but just told her: Huang Ama loves you, but he has a deep hatred for Geldan.
What the eldest brother said was full of deep meaning, but after thinking about it carefully, you will understand that what he really wants to express is Kangxi's deep affection for you. However, her love for you is not as deep as her hatred for Gerdan. When this deep love and hate contradict each other, in order to dissolve this unforgettable hatred, he would rather give up the love in his heart.
However, this ambiguous reply relieved Lan Qi'er, and her mood became lighter when she learned that Kangxi didn't really plan to shoot her. In his eyes, he is the same person as him. The eldest brother originally hoped that Lan Qi'er could walk with him, but Lan Qi'er resolutely refused him. She just wanted to stay by Geldan's side at the moment, and she didn't want to return to the capital, because her heart already belonged to Geldan, so she didn't want to leave her husband and children.
In order to ensure that the eldest brother can leave smoothly, she is willing to kneel down and beg Geldan to release the eldest brother, hoping that this can be her sincerity. She hoped that Kangxi would see the peace and kindness shown by Geerdan. She originally thought that the Great Qing would give up this fierce battle, but in reality, the ambitious struggle between Kangxi and Geldan had reached the point where it could not be reconciled, and these trivial things would not have much impact on them.
The second round of fighting was about to break out, and Gerdan's army was completely crumbled in this battle. Gerdan himself was badly injured and was at the end of his life. Lan Qier takes Geldan on a walk in the silent steppe after the war. She originally planned to return to Ulan Mutong with Geldan, but in the end she was chased by the eldest brother. In order to wash away the shame of the last **, the eldest brother insisted on cutting off Geerdan's head despite Lan Qi'er's plea. Despite Lan Qier's best efforts to stop him, Gerdan still did not save his life.
The battle with Geldan ended in a complete victory for the Qing Empire. Emperor Kangxi was in a happy mood, full of self-confidence, and was very pleased with this hard-won victory. In such an atmosphere full of joy and happiness, Kangxi suddenly thought of Lan Qi'er, whom he had always owed, so he regained his father's love and went to find her alone.
When Emperor Kangxi planned to take Lan Qi'er home, Lan Qi'er was burying Geerdan's body. When she saw her father, whom she hadn't seen for many years, appear in front of her, her heart did not fluctuate, and she just calmly said to Emperor Kangxi: Emperor Kangxi, you are finally here.
Kangxi mentioned to Lan Qi'er that he was her emperor's Ama, but Lan Qi'er responded with deep sadness: Really?What kind of man was your father?When I was sixteen years old, you married me to your enemy, Gerdan. I didn't want to go, but you forced me to go, claiming to be sacrificing for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. Later, I fell in love with Geldan and gave birth to a son for him. But you brutally killed him, leaving me not even a single intact corpse. Emperor Kangxi, is there really a father like you in the world?
Every word Lan Qi'er said was full of blood and tears, and every sentence was a cold accusation against Kangxi. This not only deeply hurt Lan Qier, but also brought great heartache to Kangxi. When Kangxi heard these words, his heart was also full of pain. He clutched his chest in pain and wanted to kneel down to apologize to Lan Qi'er, but Lan Qi'er suddenly rushed over, hugged Kangxi tightly, and shouted "Huang Ama", which made the misunderstanding between father and daughter gradually fade.
Emperor Kangxi intended to bring Amida back to Beijing, but Lan Qier said with tears in her eyes: I don't plan to return to Beijing because I am afraid of it. My home is located in Ulanmuthong and I plan to bring Amida back to my own home and raise him**. He said I love my husband and I want him to be a good father, a good husband. I love my man and my home dearly, and I don't plan to return!
Lan Qi'er chose to stay in the grassland, but she didn't realize that during the years she spent in the grassland, many changes had happened in the palace. Her mother, Concubine Rong, was demoted to a servant by Kangxi for trying to prevent Kangxi from abolishing the status of the crown prince, and was responsible for cleaning the toilets in the Zongren Mansion.
In the late Kangxi period, Lan Qier celebrated her birthday. Recalling the nurturing grace between Kangxi and Concubine Rong, Lan Qier's longing for her parents spontaneously arose, so she took the dragon chariot left behind by Kangxi and rushed from the distant Mongolian steppe to Beijing.
Kangxi was already in his twilight years at this time, and although he had many children around him, none of them really cared about him. When he learned that his beloved Lan Qi'er had come to visit him in Beijing, he was ecstatic, grabbed Lan Qi'er's hand tightly, shared their hearts with her, showed his deep fatherly love for her, and presented her with a music box. At this moment, Lan Qi'er began to ask Concubine Rong, but Kangxi couldn't find a suitable explanation, so he had to let Concubine Rong dress up as the imperial concubine again to meet Lan Qi'er.
Concubine Rong and her daughter have never had an in-depth conversation for many years, and in order not to let Lan Qier notice, she tries to show her deep relationship with Kangxi in front of Lan Qier. After the meeting, Concubine Rong returned to the place where she had served again and began to clean the toilet. She wiped the stains off her body with a towel and brushed them over again. Later, Lan Qi'er arrived at the place where Concubine Rong lived, only to find that Concubine Rong's palace was dilapidated. She felt a chill in her heart, realized what was happening, and began to ask Li Dequan. Under Li Dequan's hint, she tracked down the place where Concubine Rong used to use the toilet, which is the scene where the story begins.
Lan Qi'er was deeply hurt by Kangxi's ruthlessness, she slammed down the music box in front of Kangxi, completely severed the emotional bond between father and daughter with Kangxi, and then decisively turned away, leaving Kangxi standing there alone, her heart full of sadness.
Since Lan Qi'er left the palace, she has never returned, but has stayed on the grassland permanently.
Here's a summary.
In the ruthless imperial family, Lan Qi'er, as a member of the royal family, has no complete control over her own destiny throughout her life. As the daughter of Emperor Kangxi, while enjoying all the glory and wealth, she also lost the freedom to choose her own destiny. When there was a conflict between her family and the country, she had to make sacrifices for the country and even marry far away.
For this reason, Lan Qier had a grudge against Kangxi three times.
For the first time, the Kangxi Emperor severed her happy relationship with Li Guangdi and forced her to marry in a foreign land
Kangxi once again destroyed her happy home and killed her spouse Geerdan;
In the third incident, Emperor Kangxi insulted her concubine Rong, causing her to experience endless hardship and suffering.
Lan Qi'er gradually let go of her hatred for Hehe and her husband's murder at first, but Concubine Rong's misfortune became her final blow. When she saw Concubine Rong being ordered by Kangxi to clean the toilet, her heart completely collapsed.
The new hatred is intertwined with the hatred of the past, Lan Qi'er's heart is full of strong hatred, and her only remaining father-daughter feelings for Kangxi are completely ignited by this hatred.
At that particular moment, Lan Qier finally understood Kangxi's true face. Kangxi himself is a ruthless person, he is ruthless to himself, to his husband, and even to his mother. Kangxi was even able to treat Concubine Rong who really loved him so coldly, which is enough to show how ruthless he is. What else is Lan Qi'er looking forward to?Do you long for the deep family affection that Kangxi occasionally sprung up in his heart?
In fact, most of the so-called love and affection occurred in the emperor's moment, which was just a game used by Emperor Kangxi for entertainment in his spare time, and there was no sincere affection in the emperor's family.
The reason why Lan Qi'er felt like a dead heart was because she deeply realized this. It is often said that the death of the heart is the greatest sorrow. When a person is completely desperate, his heart will become cold and numb, as calm as an ancient well. That's why Lan Qi'er was able to turn around and leave without expression, instead of complaining about Kangxi with blood and tears like before. Because the more he complains, the more he will be noticed. When a person even feels that accusations are unnecessary, this is the real end of a relationship.
Despite this, Kangxi still lost his beloved daughter - Lan Qi'er!
