Yinzhen then realized that, yes, she was stunned for a moment by Concubine Qi's crying.

"Concubine Qi, you have failed to behave properly in front of the emperor. I have decided to withdraw my order not to let you perform the ceremony."

Su He hiccuped, tears still in his eyes, "Really?"

Yinzhen nodded helplessly.

"I secretly gave you 500 taels of silver from my private treasury, you can spend it as you like. Hongshi has grown up, I will have someone choose a good place for him to open a government tomorrow, you can help with the advice, do you think this is a good idea?"

Su He sniffed, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled and nodded, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward."

After saying that, he pulled up the emperor's arm and rubbed his snot directly on the sleeve of Yinzhen's arm.

"Your Majesty, the material of your clothes is too hard on the outside, it's uncomfortable to wipe your nose, it's nothing, I'll go back first."

Su Peisheng and Xiao Xia Zi were dumbfounded as they watched Concubine Qi leave.

They are also people who have seen the world, but now they have to doubt that they are still short-sighted.

"Su Peisheng!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi knelt down together.

"Get up, tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare some more soft silk handkerchiefs for me."

Yinzhen saw that the two were still standing there in a daze, "What? Are you addicted to kneeling? Why don't you go now?"

"By the way, tell the Jingshifang that there is no need to turn over the cards tonight. I will go to Concubine Qi's place."

Xiao Xiazi also followed Su Peisheng out of the palace gate, "Master, why am I a little confused?"

Su Peisheng flicked his whisk and said, "There are many things you don't understand. Even your master doesn't understand them."

"But I understand one thing. From now on, you should serve Concubine Qi well!"

"Better than Concubine Hua?"

"Don't even mention Concubine Hua. I have been with the emperor for so many years. Even Empress Chunyuan was not favored by the emperor like this."

"Thank you for your advice, Master. But Concubine Qi is also very nice. She always thanks me every time she asks me something."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that although Queen Chunyuan is also good to the servants, she is different from Concubine Qi."

"Master, I have never seen Queen Chunyuan."

"Empress Chunyuan is a pitiful servant, but Empress Qi, I feel like she doesn't treat us as servants, but as equals."

"Master, now that you put it like that, I understand. Yes, it is the word equality. Concubine Qi seems to treat us as fellows, equal fellows, not servants."

"Well, you have made progress."

"Master, I actually feel that, let alone us, Concubine Qi is respectful to the Emperor on the surface, but she always has a feeling of indifference, as if in Concubine Qi's eyes, the Emperor is not high and mighty."

"How dare you say that? Okay, Master has to go to the Imperial Household Department. Go get some clean clothes for the Emperor. Our Emperor likes to be clean."

Yinzhen quietly thought about what the two had just said at the door and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

Equality? What is that? Besides being able to hear Concubine Qi's voice, which made him feel at ease, there was also a sense of comfort that he had never thought about where it came from.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's just an equal scolding! Others wouldn't dare to scold him even in their hearts.

Concubine Qi? Concubine Qi? Su He? Yes, her name is Su He, 23 years old, young? What is a university graduate? In her hometown, women can also go to school? She graduated at such an old age?

Is it because she is not good at studying? No, she cried so sadly. In her hometown, 23 years old is considered very young.

Does not dating mean no childhood sweetheart? I am indeed the first man in her heart.

Forget it, a little girl came here alone, she must be scared. Considering her dedication to me and the Qing Dynasty, I will reluctantly be nicer to her in the future.

Cuiguo saw her queen coming out of the Yangxin Palace with red eyes and hurried forward.

"My queen, do you want me to call the imperial physician?" She heard her queen crying sadly inside the Yangxin Palace when she reached the door.

"No, I'm fine."

Along the way, the usually cheerful Su He did not speak a word.

Cuiguo didn't even dare to say a word.

When we got back to Changchun Palace, it was time for dinner. "Your Majesty, let me help you wash your hands before you eat."

Su He really had no appetite. During these days of traveling through time, she gradually adapted to the life here, but ignored the dangers here.

Today's one-day trip to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity forced her to re-examine her situation.

"Let's go. I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

Just as Hongtao was about to try to persuade her, she saw Cuiguo winking at her.

Hong Tao immediately went out to the east and west side halls to ask for help.

Before she could decide whether to go to the east or west side hall first, Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong came out hurriedly and headed towards the main hall.

"Greetings to the two young ladies. I was just about to come over to greet them."

"Hongtao, stop bowing. What happened? How is Sister Qi now?" Xia Dongchun fired off all the questions he wanted to ask like a string of cannonballs.

"My two young ladies, I don't know either. My queen doesn't want to eat. Please comfort her."

"Si Ji, let's go and see Sister Qi. How would Hong Tao know what happened in the Yang Xin Palace? Don't ask later. If Sister Qi wants to talk, she will tell you. If she doesn't want to, let's not embarrass her."

The two of them hurried into the main hall and saw Su He leaning on a small couch, his mind wandering.
