Quick Wear: I was a Favored Concubine in the Qing Dynasty

Mrs. Tong was trembling in her heart. The emperor could even kill his own child. Her daughter was just a cousin. "You'd better not have a child. I'll go back and persuade your father and them."

"Well, mother should persuade father and the others. Everyone in this world has the surname Aisin-Gioro, not Tonggiya. Uncle is not your biological father. There are many people in history who killed their father for that position." Yu Suisui felt that the Kangxi in this world did not value his maternal family as much as the Kangxi in other worlds.

"Mother has taken note. You must take good care of yourself in the palace and don't have any children. I can only feel at ease if you are alive." Compared to the possible grandson, she felt that her daughter was more important.

"My daughter knows." Yu Suisui did not continue the conversation on this topic. Instead, he thought of that scumbag Longkodo. "I heard that Longkodo is going to marry my uncle's cousin. Is that true?"

Mrs. Tong nodded and said, "I have discussed this matter with your aunt, but it has not been finalized yet. How did Your Majesty know about it?"

"Don't worry about how I know it. Mother, please don't let my cousin marry Longkodo. I've seen my cousin before. She's a very gentle person. How can she control that bastard Longkodo? Mother, please don't ruin my cousin's life." If such a thing as snatching the concubine from his uncle and turning the wife into a human pig happened again, she would kill the beast herself.

"Why do you say that about your brother? He is a bit of a scoundrel, but he has treated you like a sister all these years with impeccable manners. The gifts he prepared for you on your birthday and during the New Year were chosen by himself. How can you say that about him?" When Mrs. Tong heard this, her daughter seemed dissatisfied with her son.

Yu Suisui: "Mother, please don't cover up for him. He treated me well, and I remember that. If it wasn't for that, why would I say these things? I know what kind of person Longkodo is. He is really a bad guy. If he marries my cousin, the two families will become enemies instead of relatives. Mother, why don't you go find Amu and ask Amu to help find a Mongolian noblewoman who can suppress Longkodo."

"Your brother is still young. He will naturally become sensible when he grows up. Why bother..."

Yu Suisui interrupted Mrs. Tong and said, "Longkodo is sixteen this year, not Qingfu, who is only eight or nine years old. Mother, don't you think that Longkodo has that kind of temper? If something happens to you and your father in the future, I am out of reach in the palace and I won't know how he died."

"It wouldn't be so serious. You also know that if you ask your Amu to go and see the match, it will most likely be someone similar to your Amu. You know that your Amuqi is the only illegitimate son, and your brother has to carry on the Tong family's bloodline." She also wanted Longkodo to give birth to more grandchildren.

"Mother, it would be better to be like Amu. Do you like it when father has so many illegitimate sons? A few legitimate grandsons born by a legitimate wife are not as good as those born by illegitimate sons? In my opinion, you should not give Longkodo a concubine. Only when the backyard is quiet can he concentrate on working for the emperor. Don't believe in the concept of having many children, you will be blessed. You have three sons, and each son has three children, so you have nine legitimate grandsons. How can they be inferior to those born by maids?" They are both from the Tong family, but her family is messy. Aqimu's family is also messy, but not as messy as this one, right?

He added, "Mother, I'm only saying this once. You are also in charge of Father's backyard. Father has more than a dozen concubines, both big and small. You know how you manage Father's concubines. After Longkodo has many concubines, his first wife will be almost the same as you. Also, if Longkodo is not disciplined according to his current temper, it will be too late for him to die in the future. The most important thing is that the emperor does not like such hot-tempered people. Just look at Nalan Rongruo and Cao Yin to know what kind of people the emperor likes."

After hearing all this, Mrs. Tong knew that her daughter was also thinking about her brother, but... forget it, she should listen to her daughter. Future is the most important.

"I'll go discuss this with your Amu when I get back, but I'm afraid your aunt will bear a grudge against me."

"Why are you worrying about this, mother? Just go back and talk to my aunt nicely. Then give my cousin a generous dowry. My aunt won't bear a grudge against me." The original owner's aunt was not willing to let her daughter marry Longkodo. It was my mother's own wishful thinking. She was the second wife and did not have much say, so it was decided by Mrs. Tong and her brother.

"This is the only way. You can buy a few things for your cousin when the time comes, so that she can save face." Mrs. Tong was very easy to talk to after she figured it out.

"I remember. When my cousin gets married, you should send someone to pass a name card to the palace." That's easy. She now has a lot of useless things given by Kangxi in her warehouse. They are of no use in the palace, but they are useful outside the palace.

"It's getting late. I'll go back home first. Remember not to have children. Mother only wants you, not that missing grandson." Mrs. Tong is neither a good person nor a bad person. She favors boys over girls, but compared to the grandson who is far away, she still only wants her own daughter.

"Mother, don't forget what I said. Tell Ama and Amuqi. If Ama and the others don't believe you, ask them to ask my cousin who the people of the Aisin-Gioro family are." Tong Guogang's only legitimate daughter married Marhun, the son of Prince An Yuele. Yuele and Kangxi were both royal family members.

"I'll make a note of this. Take good care of yourself in the palace." Mrs. Tong nodded, then walked out of the palace, looking back every few steps. She didn't know when she would see her daughter again.

Yu Suisui was tired after talking for a long time, so he asked Lu Bi to take off her hairpins and rings and go to rest.

The next morning, the fourth prince Yinzhen came to pay his respects.

He has been raised by Yu Suisui since he was one month old, and his food and clothing were originally the same as those of the third prince. Now that Yu Suisui has become the Imperial Noble Consort, his food and clothing are also the same as those of the eldest prince. This is a rule set by the emperor himself.

No matter how outrageous the legend was about the Sixth Prince, he was still treated the same as other illegitimate sons, and his treatment was not even as good as that of the Fifth Prince, who was born to Concubine Yi.

"Empress, the Fourth Prince is four years old this year. Do we need to start preparing the Haha beads?" Nanny Ke has been taking care of the Fourth Prince for more than four years, and she has long treated him as the Empress's child.

Yu Suisui flipped through the account book and looked up, "Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare it."

Nanny Ke hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, why don't you choose one or two from your own family to come and serve as companions to the Fourth Prince?" This way, the relationship between the two families would surely become even deeper.

"Mammy, if there is something inappropriate to say, please don't say it." Yu Susui sent Mammy Ke to the Fourth Prince in the first place because she was given to the Fourth Prince by the original owner, and she later devoted herself to the new master.

Madam Ke looked embarrassed and said, "I know I was wrong."

"Go down." Yu Suisui didn't even have time to look at the account books, so how could he have the time to worry about these things?

The Spring Festival is just a few days away. This is the busiest time of the year and we don’t have the time to worry about these trivial matters.

"Mother~" After reading in the east wing for half an hour, the Fourth Prince ran to his mother's west warm room.

"Is there something wrong with Yinzhen?" Yu Suisui was not so angry as to vent his anger on a child. He couldn't raise him as a son, but he could still treat him as a nephew or younger generation.

"I've finished my studies and want to go play with Baifu." Baifu is the puppy he brought back from the zoo on his birthday this year, a pure white Chow Chow.

"Go ahead, but not in the yard. Bring Baifu into the house to play. If it's too hot, remember to ask someone around you to carry a cotton towel for you." Now Chengqian Palace is no longer just relying on charcoal basins for heating. Now it has floor heating and the house is very warm.

"Thank you, mom. I'm going now!" He really likes this dog now and he wants to hug it while sleeping.

Seeing that he walked out of the door in a blink of an eye, Yu Susui ordered Shuibi, "Go to the East Palace and keep an eye on him. Don't ask the wet nurses to ruin his temper." Wet nurses and wet nurses in this era were very lenient.

"It's saved by me." Shuibi also knew her master's temper, and she would never dare to ask a few maids to control the Fourth Prince.

Yu Sui spent an afternoon looking at the account books until his head ached, and thought it was a good thing that this only happened once a year.

"Your Majesty, would you like to take a rest? Let's see later." Lu Bi changed the cup of strong tea for the Queen.

"No need. I'll finish reading it this afternoon. You can go and tell Concubine Niu, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Rong to come to Chengqian Palace tomorrow." There are not many high positions in the palace now. Most of them are stuck at the position of concubine and have not reached the standard set by Kangxi. Only concubines have the right to participate in the affairs of the harem.

"I'll go right away. Your Majesty, drink less tea, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well at night." Lubi is not on duty today, but she has to come every day at the end of the year. Otherwise, Qingbi and Yaobi will be busy all the time, and they won't be able to sleep well at night.

"Got it. Go ahead and call Shou'an in." Yu Suisui still remembered that the annual entitlements for the palace servants had not been completed yet, so he decided not to bother two people at once and called Shou'an to handle it together.

After a while, Shouan came through the back hall and bowed, "My queen, do you have any new instructions?"

The people Yu Suisui valued the most this time were not the four personal maids, nor the two maids who entered the palace together, but the eunuchs who were assigned to the palace after entering the palace, Shouan and He Laixi. They were the ones who would rather guard the original owner's tomb than bow to Xiao Tong and the Fourth Prince.

"Have some tea to wake up first." Shouan's squinting eyes looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"I'm not sleepy, Madam, please don't tease me because of my small eyes." But he still poured himself a cup of strong tea. This was a reward. There were few people in the palace who could be like him. Even Madam Gu, the wet nurse of the Madam, was not as special as him.

"Remember to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow to check each one of the gifts. The annual gifts for concubines and above and the princes, princes and princesses, as well as the silver flowers made by the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, should be prepared one by one. Nanny Ju will pack a red envelope of two hundred taels, Bi Yao and the others will pack a red envelope of one hundred and sixty taels, and the rest will be given ten taels, six taels, and four taels according to their ranks. You and He Lai Xi should also pack a red envelope of one hundred and sixty taels." Everyone should get a year-end bonus.

"I would like to thank Her Majesty for the reward first. I will go now." Shouan would certainly not let Her Majesty down. Since he came to Her Majesty's side, he was the first-class chief steward of Chengqian Palace.

"Go ahead." Yu Suisui continued to look at the account book in her hand. She really wanted to change it to Arabic numerals, but she couldn't find a reason.

After finishing the treasury of the queen, Nanny Ju returned to the main hall and bumped into He Laixi who had just returned from the queen's private treasury. He Laixi was not as smooth as Shouan and was a little taciturn. She was a little dissatisfied with He Laixi who took over Nanny Ke's job. Originally, they were both Nannies, but now she had to work with a eunuch.

"Your Majesty, I have listed out the lists for each palace. Please take a look first." She knew that Your Majesty was a Pixiu. The things she sent to the palaces were all beautiful vases and ornaments. If she came across a fine product, it would definitely go into Your Majesty's private warehouse.

Yu Suisui took a look and said, "There are quite a lot of green sandalwood in the Imperial Household Department this year. I'll ask her to make a batch of collarbone linings to add to the jacket, and also add two mule-colored pens." This is the year for her promotion and salary increase, and she can't make any mistakes, otherwise Kangxi, that stubborn man, will keep complaining.

"Your Majesty, these green sandals are all top-grade products, but should they be prepared for everyone above the rank of concubine?" Your Majesty's habit was to give beautiful but useless things to concubines and above, and to pay for nobles and below.

"Just follow the old rules." She wanted some of the wood, not all of it. Just a few of them could be made into beads for the lapels of the harem. They didn't cost any money and looked precious.

"I'll go right away." Nanny Ju was not wrong.

"Your Majesty, this is the account book of your private treasury. I have sorted it out." He Lai Xi helped manage the account books of Yu Suisui's private treasury and her property outside the palace.

"Leave it there. I'll take a look at it tomorrow when I have time. Are the things I asked you to choose from the private storehouse for the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the others ready?" Alas, gifts must be given every New Year.

"It's ready. The emperor's warm jade and the Empress Dowager's Sky Eye Stone found from Korchin have been made into bracelets. The Empress Dowager also went to Mount Wutai to ask for a Buddha statue back. Everything has been packed up." He Lai Xi is careful in his work. He checked several times early to ensure that everything was foolproof.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest early. Let the people below keep watch at night." This is the first year, and after setting a good example, you can come every year.

"It's not hard for me." He Lai Xi felt that he really wasn't tired. After being assigned to the empress's side, except for the empress's private treasury and some things that were necessary for him to do, the rest were done by the eunuchs. When he returned to his room, the bedding was warm no matter how late it was, and someone had prepared water for him to wash his feet.
