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

Yu Suisui learned from Qingguo that the empress dowager had given an oral instruction, saying that it was freezing cold and out of sympathy for the concubines' hard work, she had specially exempted the concubines from paying their respects until the New Year.

Yu Suisui raised her eyebrows when she heard the news. Why would the Queen Mother say such a thing at this time? The Queen Mother rarely met with the concubines, and now she said this, it seemed like she was talking to the Queen.

When Qianlong came over, his face was not very good. At least compared with yesterday, Qianlong could be said to have a sour face.

Li Yucai was anxious. He was the one who feared Qianlong getting angry the most. Once Qianlong got angry, it meant that the emperor would be difficult to serve.

If someone doesn't know which action to take or which words to say, the emperor will get furious.

"Your Majesty!" Yu Suisui's voice was as sweet as honey.

Qianlong looked over with a serious face. Yu Suisui's face was full of joy, with smiles in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, but he was not in a good mood.

"Just got up?" He was eating breakfast at this time, and it was obvious that he had just got up not long ago.

So he nodded and smiled, as if he didn't notice Qianlong's uneasy expression, "Yes, Your Majesty, the chef in the imperial kitchen just made me some shrimp wontons."

He emphasized again: "It's made of small river shrimps!" At that time, river shrimps were extremely rare, and such fresh small river shrimps were really only available to the emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen.

Even Concubine Gao must be in trouble.

It’s not that the river shrimps themselves are precious, but there are not so many fresh ones. At this time, the ground is covered with heavy snow and frozen everywhere.

When Qianlong heard Yu Susui's joyful voice, he did not divert his attention. When he heard the oral order from the Empress Dowager, he could guess that the Empress Dowager was doing this for the Empress.

He didn't know why the queen had become a different person in the past six months. Not only had her mind become more complicated, but she was also not as careful and considerate to him as before.

My mother pretended to be sick so that she could have a good talk with the queen, but it seemed to be of no avail.

As the year draws to a close, there are already many things to do. When he does things in the court, people always talk about what the late emperor did in the past. This has been going on for more than three years.

He has been waiting for three years, and Zhang Tingyu and his gang of old guys are still relying on their seniority to bully others.

There is no one promising person in my mother's family, the Nianhulu clan, but the empress's family, the Fucha clan, is capable.

But seeing the Queen's attitude, and Yonglian's presence, Qianlong's heart sank.

Seeing that Qianlong was obviously in a trance, Yu Suisui did not disturb him. He sat on the chair and ate his wontons slowly and enjoyably.

If Qianlong was unhappy and still insisted on chatting with others, it would not only mean that he was tactless, but also that he was looking for death.

Li Yu was extremely anxious, as if his butt was on fire. He hoped that Yu Suisui could say a few more words. He didn't understand how Yu Suisui was trying to coax Qianlong.

He only thought about Yu Suisui coaxing Emperor Qianlong.

After breakfast, the palace maids quietly cleared the table, and Yu Suisui went in with a fake magnolia flower.

Seeing that Qianlong was still lost in thought, she took a flower and started playing with it. The magnolia in her hand was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. It was made of tongtu wood, the same kind of magnolia that the empress loved so much.

Pink and white petals, tea-brown branches, and emerald green leaves. Yu Suisui thought for a moment and whispered to Qingguo to bring in a vase.

The white porcelain vase with a long and narrow mouth looks good with a branch of magnolia in it. It would be perfect if it had two long leaves like cattail.

Yu Suisui was entertaining himself. When Qianlong recovered, he saw Yu Suisui smiling happily at the flowers he had arranged.

"Why don't you speak?" Qianlong asked suddenly. Seeing his expression, Li Yu almost wanted to step forward to comfort him, but he didn't dare.

Yu Suisui tilted his head and smiled, "The emperor is thinking about state affairs, I dare not disturb him." Anyone who wants to be Qianlong's confidant will be a trash can.

If people hear too much negative news, they will be overwhelmed by such negative emotions.

She doesn't want it.

"How do you know it's an important matter?" Qianlong asked again.

Yu Suisui said as a matter of course: "Your Majesty, I am also very smart. Your Majesty's frown must be due to political matters."

As she spoke, she leaned closer and whispered, "I've heard before that some people in the court are taking advantage of their status as the late emperor's old ministers to give the emperor orders." Then she immediately covered her mouth, her eyes wide, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to inquire about news from the previous dynasty!"

Qianlong's harem was not allowed to inquire about news from the previous dynasty. Yu Suisui's statement actually crossed this line.

She immediately explained, "Your Majesty, I really only heard it from others. Last year, when I was in the Old Summer Palace, I heard those people talking about it. I didn't mean to inquire about the court news."

Qianlong certainly knew that Yu Susui was not trying to inquire about the previous dynasty. There was no one at Xiupin's house and she was alone. Although she grew up with the queen, there were so many people around the queen that she couldn't watch over her all the time.

She was very young at that time and there were not many things she could do. Most of the time, she followed the older girls around and did odd jobs.

After arriving at the palace, she had no chance to meet the queen. She was placed in a small Buddhist temple and kept there all day long, most of the time chanting scriptures with the old nanny.

"Indeed." Qianlong did not reveal what happened between him and the empress. "How do you think I should deal with that inconsiderate old minister?"

Yu Suisui thought that Emperor Qianlong hated Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu was a veteran of three dynasties and his ending was not very good.

She thought about it, her eyes turned, and she said, "Punish him by making him copy the scriptures!"

"Yes, let him copy scriptures for the late emperor!" Yu Suisui repeated, and then emphasized, "Your Majesty, I remember that the late emperor's birthday is in October. Let him copy as many scriptures as possible and burn them for the late emperor during the memorial ceremony."

Looking at Yu Suisui's smug look, Qianlong felt that he had come up with some extraordinary idea, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. The empress knew this before, and she would persuade him, saying that Zhang Tingyu was the regent left by the previous emperor, and as the new emperor, he should be tolerant.

Don't get so angry over such a small matter. He also said that Zhang Tingyu was old and wouldn't be in the court for long, so for the sake of the late emperor, please forgive him.

Qianlong didn't want to forgive him.

Yu Suisui was the first one to suggest that Zhang Tingyu, the old man who relied on his seniority to bully others, should be punished directly. He felt a little relieved.

He is the emperor, but he still has to be tolerant. How can this be justified?

"You're right. I want to reward him by copying scriptures for my father." Qianlong immediately ordered Li Yu, "Go to the Southern Study and tell Zhang Tingyu to copy ten volumes of scriptures for my father. They will be presented to the late emperor during the sacrifice ceremony!"
