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

She couldn't take over the Queen's job; that would be usurpation.

The emperor will not allow it.

She was not crazy and could not see the situation in the palace clearly. The second prince Yonglian, born to the queen, must have his name placed behind the plaque in the Qianqing Palace. He was the invisible "crown prince" that everyone in the court knew clearly.

Even though Concubine Gao couldn't help feeling jealous sometimes, she was not a fool and could still see through the situation in the harem.

For example, the Empress Dowager's favorite was the Queen, followed by the "fake Buddhist" Concubine Xian. Among the high-ranking concubines, the Empress Dowager hated her the most.

The reason was very simple. The emperor's favor towards her was comparable to that of the queen, but she did not make any move.

He took advantage of the emperor's power for nothing, but gained nothing in return.

"No, no, that's not it?" Ting He felt that she had made a huge mistake. During the days when Concubine Gao ordered her to choose someone, the Emperor was looking for a concubine.

Ping promised to be more favored.

She thought that Concubine Gao was choosing people to consolidate her favor, to... Turns out, Ting He knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I have done something wrong. Please punish me." The people she chose were all reserved for the emperor as concubines.

Concubine Gao was confused, but suddenly she became clear-headed, "You are not... you are not the chosen one, you are for the emperor?" Oh my God, she was wondering why the emperor hadn't come to her for a while.

The emperor hates this kind of thing the most.

"I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Your Majesty." Ting He slapped herself a few times after saying this. She really thought that the Your Majesty wanted to choose a few young and fertile women for the Emperor because she felt that she was getting old. This would consolidate her favor and add a prince to Chengqian Palace.

If she had known earlier, she would have asked one more question.

Concubine Gao looked at Tinghe, and she didn't know what to scold. Tinghe had followed her since the palace, and it had been many years now.

"You have to kneel in the small Buddhist temple for an hour, and I will also fine you three months' salary." Concubine Gao was really a little angry.

She didn't expect such a mistake to happen.

"All the palace maids you have selected should be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." This cannot be sent to Brother Heng. If the emperor finds out about it, she will definitely be in trouble.

Ting He kowtowed hurriedly, got up from the ground, and went to do it immediately.

Yu Suisui now wants to sew Qianlong's mouth shut.

What are the words he said?

"This vase is simple and doesn't fit here."

"This incense burner is too plain and has no shape at all. You should replace it."

"And these two landscape paintings are too quiet and peaceful. They don't suit you. Change them too."

After Qianlong had his meal, he checked every detail of Yu Suisui's room, from inside to outside, including the furnishings, furniture, curtains, and even the teapot on the table.

Overall, there is nothing appealing about her outfit here.

She has no aesthetic sense.

Holding her breath, Yu Suisui said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any silver. These are what the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent." If she wanted to exchange things, she had to pay for it herself, then forget it.

She thought this was pretty good. She didn't really like Qianlong's colorful and complicated aesthetic. She preferred the current fresh and elegant layout.

Qianlong pointed at the lilac-purple gauze curtain and was about to say that the color was inappropriate when he heard Yu Susui's words.

"Didn't I just give you a hundred taels of gold?" So she has no more silver? Is she a Pixiu?

Yu Suisui: "I keep it and don't want to spend it." It's better not to spend the gold on such a place and keep it for beauty.

"Don't be reluctant to give it up. I will return it to you next time." She was too poor before and had never lived a good life. She was reluctant to give up the one hundred taels of gold.

"Your Majesty, my heart aches." Yu Suisui said, clutching his chest. "Your Majesty, when I heard that it would cost so much money, I couldn't breathe."

Qianlong knew that Yu Suisui was just pretending. Her eyes sparkled, and she didn't look heartbroken at all. "I'll have the Imperial Household Department send some new ones. You can choose carefully."

It’s really a little Pixiu.

Yu Suisui no longer felt reluctant to leave. She immediately smiled and took Qianlong's arm. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

In Yu Sui's room, Qianlong pointed at the ornaments and vented his anger in a roundabout way, and then his mood calmed down.

She tapped the tip of Yu Sui's nose and said, "Just know that I treat you well." The queen never knew what he wanted.

When Prince Heqin received the important task of offering sacrifices to the Emperor, he was very worried. He asked Emperor Qianlong for leave for several days, saying that he was not feeling well and could not go to court.

Originally, they were going with the emperor's brother, so they both had someone to accompany them.

But…now that he has to be alone, the prince doesn’t want to go that much anymore. He really doesn’t want to go alone.

The Emperor's father was neither a strict father nor a kind father. He simply didn't care about him and his elder brother. If the Emperor's father hadn't lost a bunch of sons and died of depression because of his third brother, only he and his elder brother would have been left.

They won't get much attention from the Emperor.

Prince He's wife looked at his sad face and had no way to comfort him. No matter how she said it, it seemed wrong.

The relationship between the late emperor and Hong Zhou was really not that close as between father and son.

He even wanted to use Hong Zhou and the emperor to balance the situation. If it weren't for his mother, he would have probably just been a quarrel between the brothers.

There is no Prince Heqin anymore.

"Just think of it as helping the Emperor relieve his worries." After saying this, Prince Heqin's wife added, "It's also helping Mother and the Empress Dowager relieve their worries."

Every year at this time, the Empress Dowager and her mother would get sick, and then drag their "illness" to the imperial mausoleum to participate in the memorial ceremony for the late emperor.

The longing for the late emperor is moving.

Prince He didn't want to talk. He hugged his big bald forehead and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll think about it first." He felt uncomfortable, sad, and depressed. He didn't want to be a filial son and grandson.

Every year on the anniversary of the Emperor Mafa's death, the Emperor's elder brother would run faster than anyone else. But when it came to the Emperor's father's death, he would start finding all kinds of trouble half a month in advance.

He felt that he would probably take on this job in the future.

Maybe it will become a regular practice.

-

The Empress Dowager exempted the concubines from paying their respects, and Yu Suisui was also unable to go to the Queen's place.

But when I think about it, October is the month of Second Prince's death.

She also had to find a way to keep the Second Prince, but even if she kept him, there was no telling if he would become like Kangxi and the Crown Prince.

When the father is young, the son is kind and filial. When the father is old, the son becomes weak and the father and son become enemies again.
