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

Chapter 46

Hasn’t the Queen ever thought about it?

Or maybe the queen really didn't care at all and was just looking at what was in front of her.

"I understand." The Queen Mother said in a calm voice, "If there is nothing else, I will continue to chant the sutras."

The Queen Mother had no intention of explaining to the Queen any further. If she had no talent, she had no talent. If she couldn't understand, she couldn't understand.

The Queen: "My Queen Mother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

The queen spoke with trepidation.

At this time, the Queen Mother looked up at her and asked, "What did you do wrong?" The Queen looked sincere.

"Empress Dowager, I shouldn't have disobeyed you." The Queen thought about it and felt that the reason the Queen Mother was angry was that he did not do what the Queen Mother said.

The Queen Mother looked stunned. She didn't know why she was wasting her time on the Queen.

For a second, she really thought she understood.

In fact, she didn't understand.

She just didn't want to lose her shelter, she didn't understand what she was saying and what the purpose was.

"You can go back." The Queen Mother was very disappointed. "I have something else to do."

The Queen was escorted out by Aunt Chun. Just as she reached the palace gate, she turned around and said to Aunt Chun, "Aunt, can you tell me why the Empress Dowager is so angry with me?"

When the queen died, he thought about it and realized that it was just that one thing that he did not listen to the queen mother.

I was angry only because of that one thing.

Aunt Chun wore a perfect smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you're overthinking it. The Queen Mother has been fasting and praying lately. She's so busy that she doesn't have time to get angry."

The Queen Mother almost fed her words directly into her mouth, but she still didn't understand. What else can she say?

The queen still didn't understand.

The Queen Mother was not angry at the Queen's disobedience, but at the Queen's own lack of "wisdom".

The Queen Mother didn't want to waste her time on this matter.

Which concubine in the harem is not her "daughter-in-law", Aunt Chun remembered what the Queen Mother said. Later, she thought about it carefully and realized that it was not the case.

The title of Queen is just that, but it is neither important nor unimportant in the royal family.

At least it’s not that important to the Queen Mother.

Since the time of Emperor Kangxi, there have been no real good rules in the harem. After the death of Empress Xiaoyi, the harem has been managed by the Four Concubines and the Imperial Concubine.

Later, even the Crown Princess managed the harem.

It was different with the late emperor. When Empress Xiaojing was alive, the late emperor also asked Concubine Nian to help manage the six palaces.

Later, when Empress Xiaojing passed away, it was the Empress Dowager who helped the late emperor manage the harem.

In this harem, the queen is not that important.

The Queen Mother said that she should just treat it as if her previous daughter-in-law was gone or had changed.

The Queen's uneasiness grew. She grabbed Aunt Chun's hand and said, "Aunt, please help me."

She really didn't know what she had done wrong.

Aunt Chun held the Queen's hand and said, "What are you talking about, Her Majesty? If this servant can help Her Majesty, I will do it even at the cost of my life."

"But what does the Queen want me to do?"

Aunt Chun doesn't want to risk her own life to pave the way for the Queen.

Her relationship with the Queen was not that good.

The Queen Mother's reminders to the Queen were useless. If a servant like her could remind the Queen, it would be interesting if it was useful.

When the Queen heard Aunt Chun's question, she wanted Aunt Chun to tell her why the Queen Mother was angry.

What should she do to prevent the Queen Mother from getting angry?

But she didn't say these words out loud, because she looked into Aunt Chun's eyes, and there was no intention of giving her an answer in those eyes.

"Aunt, go back and take care of the Empress Dowager." The Queen almost fled.

After returning to Changchun Palace.

Yuzhu couldn't help herself, "My Queen, why do you want to talk about the prince?"

"Didn't we agree to use the matter of the Prince to have a detailed discussion with the Queen Mother and clear up the misunderstanding?"

We had agreed before we went that we would take this opportunity to have a frank and detailed talk with the Empress Dowager.

We must clarify all the misunderstandings that the Empress Dowager has about the Empress.

Why after that, the Empress still only talked about the Prince's affairs? The Prince's affairs were matters of the previous dynasty, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

Why does your Majesty say this?

When the queen thought about seeing the empress dowager, all the complaints in her heart disappeared completely.

She really wanted to ask the Queen Mother why she wanted her to admit it all.

"Yuzhu, I'm tired." The queen didn't want to say it. It was already hard enough for her to face the empress dowager, and now she had to face Yuzhu's questioning.

She felt a little uncomfortable.

Yuzhu bit her lip: "..."

"I'll make the bed right away." In the end, nothing was said.

-

Ping's life improved. He had clothes to keep warm and his own share of charcoal.

She shares it with others, and they won't be cold this winter.

The aunt beside the queen told the queen the news, implying that the imperial concubine had overstepped her authority.

The imperial concubine interfered with the authority that should have belonged to the queen.

Concubine Gao was not surprised at all when the Queen called her over for questioning, but Ting He was a little unhappy.

"It was clearly the Empress's inaction that caused that concubine Ping to starve and freeze. The Emperor's concubine even got frostbite on her hands." Ting He spoke quickly, her dissatisfaction crackling.

Concubine Gao: "Don't follow me. If you are in Changchun Palace later, I will be implicated by you."

"..." Ting He's face was a little sad, "Your Majesty, when this servant goes to the Queen's palace, she will definitely be a mute."

She is not a fool, and she cannot say such things in front of the queen.

Concubine Gao touched Tinghe's head and said, "I'm going to be punished, and you just follow me and watch me being punished." The Queen must be unhappy.

When she did it, she knew that the queen would definitely be unhappy.

When they arrived at Changchun Palace, Yuzhu, who was beside the queen, took them into the main hall.

When the queen saw her, she treated her no differently than usual. She gently asked her to get up and had someone bring her her favorite tea and snacks.

"Noble Concubine, you have done very well in fulfilling your promise." The Queen's voice was very gentle. "I didn't know that those people in the Imperial Household Department were so powerful."

"How dare you withhold what Ping promised you."

The Queen knew about this, but she just didn't know that someone had taken things too far.

Concubine Gao took a sip of hot tea and said slowly, "It's not a big deal. Your Majesty, there's no need to praise me."

It’s not like Ping Da Ying hasn’t looked for the Queen before.

The Queen's expression remained unchanged. "This is a small matter, but when it comes to matters involving the concubines in the harem, we must naturally be more cautious."

"I've already sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to address the issue. If you encounter them again in the future, please remember to send someone to tell me."

Concubine Gao could tell that the Queen didn't like her acting on her own initiative.

"It's not my business. It's just that Ping agreed to come and ask to see the Queen several times. It's probably because the Queen is too busy and has no time to see her." Concubine Gao said slowly.

"Your Highness, you don't know. I was really shocked when I saw Ping agree. It's the coldest time of the year, and she agreed while still wearing an autumn jacket. It's a thin layer, and her hands are red and swollen..."
