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

Concubine Yugui rarely had any contact with Emperor Qianlong's harem. After all, she was not the legitimate elder of these concubines, so she did not come out to get in the way.

In the past, there would be greetings, and at this time one could interact with Emperor Qianlong’s concubines. But now, for some reason, the Queen’s greetings have been omitted.

The Empress Dowager's greetings are also unnecessary.

Without the opportunity to pay respects to the emperor's concubines and get closer to them, Concubine Yugui felt uneasy.

What happened to Hong Zhou in October was all unprovoked misfortune. In the end, he brought punishment upon himself and was confined in the mansion for half a month.

If she had a good relationship with the emperor's concubines, she could also plead for Hong Zhou at this time.

She originally wanted to establish a good relationship with the Queen, but she didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes. Before she could really establish a close relationship with the Queen, she was already in a state of decline.

Without the queen whom the emperor trusted, her life in the harem was not as good as that of a concubine whom the emperor loved.

After careful observation, Concubine Yu Gui chose Yu Suisui.

This person who went from being a maid to becoming Concubine Jing.

Yu Suisui looked at Concubine Yu Gui's deliberate question and just smiled faintly.

Concubine Yugui’s idea may be dashed.

The Queen Mother just watched. Concubine Jing was a smart person. She knew what she should do and what she shouldn't do.

Qianlong was in the front hall of the Qianqing Palace, and both the emperor and his ministers were having a great time.

The emperor should have gone to the queen's palace today, but Qianlong did not go.

After the New Year's Eve banquet, he stayed in the Yangxin Palace and did not go to the Changchun Palace.

However, the rewards to each palace were still distributed on time, and Concubine Gao and Yu Suisui received a little more.

Concubine Gao looked at the gold and jade ruyi with her eyes curved, "Put this on the shelf." The emperor was very satisfied with this New Year's Eve banquet.

Otherwise, she would not have been rewarded with an extra Ruyi.

Yu Suisui also had a Ruyi, but it was made of pure gold. Qianlong knew that Yu Suisui liked pure gold, so he specially asked the craftsmen of the Imperial Household Department to make it.

Qingguo: "Your Majesty, do you want to put it on the antique display shelf?" Your Majesty always likes to put such gold ornaments in a conspicuous place.

In the words of the Empress, such things should be watched at all times.

Otherwise, this is no different from walking in brocade clothes at night.

Yu Suisui nodded and said, "Put it in the most conspicuous place, where you can see it at a glance." Qianlong was still a good person, such a big golden ruyi.

It must weigh at least three pounds.

Qingguo showed an expression that said "as expected", and his hands moved extremely quickly, changing it in a moment.

"Your Majesty, what clothes should I wear when I go to pay my respects to the Empress tomorrow? Is that the silver-red one?" People should wear festive clothes during the New Year. The Empress Dowager said that it was late today, so they should not disturb the Empress's rest.

There’s no need to kowtow today.

Yu Suisui: "Okay, but I have to replace the hairpin on my head with the phoenix hairpin that the emperor gave me today." Emperor Qianlong was very generous today and gave her a phoenix hairpin with seven tails.

The oriental pearl on the imperial concubine's phoenix hairpin is the same as hers, but it is a size bigger.

Her Dongzhu is a little bit smaller, so there is a difference between the two things.

Qingguo nodded in agreement. This was a good idea. The emperor might be happy when he saw it tomorrow.

-

The Queen was waiting for Yu Suisui and other concubines to come and pay their respects. It was originally scheduled for the morning, but because of Concubine Gao, they went to the Queen Mother first in the morning.

Yuzhu helped the queen change her clothes, and stretched her neck to see if anyone was coming to the yard, but after waiting for a long time, no concubine came to pay her respects.

It's getting dark outside and it will probably be dark soon.

But there is not a single concubine.

Yuzhu was about to go out to ask when she saw Aunt Chun come in and said that the Queen Mother said that the banquet would end late today and they would have to get up early tomorrow, so they could skip the kowtow today.

Let’s wait until tomorrow to get together.

The queen immediately felt that the queen mother did this on purpose.

Because she didn't listen to the Queen Mother before, the Queen Mother is now deliberately targeting her.

But the Queen Mother really didn't mean that. She just felt it was troublesome and, considering the Queen's frail body, decided not to let the concubines disturb her.

As for the rule, this person is more important than the rule.

The queen immediately threw all the tea bowls beside her to the ground and asked, "Why!" Why did the queen mother treat her like this?

She has changed and is listening to her.

The Empress Dowager didn't want her to attend today's New Year's Eve banquet, so she didn't go and stayed alone in Changchun Palace.

But why is the Queen Mother still so relentless, stripping her of all her dignity as a Queen? Tomorrow... The Queen doesn't even dare to think about the way the concubines will look at her tomorrow.

Are they all mocking her, thinking that her role as queen is just an empty title?

Yuzhu hurriedly comforted the Queen, "Your Majesty, maybe it's really because it's late, that's why the Queen Mother said that." But Your Majesty would definitely lose face as the Queen today.

The Empress Dowager is so cruel. Why didn’t I realize before that she is such a heartless person.

The queen couldn't listen. She just thought that all the concubines would look at her with pity and mockery tomorrow, and she felt like her heart was suffocating.

She is different from these concubines, and the emperor has her in his heart.

But the Queen Mother put her in the same position as a concubine. How could the Queen Mother be so cruel? For more than ten years, she had been filial to the Queen Mother.

Why would the Queen Mother trample on her face like this just because one thing did not go her way?

"Your Majesty, how about I go to the Yangxin Palace and tell the Emperor?" The only solution now was to find the Emperor. Only with the Emperor's order could the concubines come and pay their respects.

This way, the Empress's face can be saved.

The majesty of the queen continued to be maintained.

The Queen held Yuzhu's hand, the words of promise were on the tip of her tongue, but then she thought of the Queen Mother and shook her head, "The Queen Mother must have told the Emperor not to come." The Queen Mother herself had no marital relationship with the late Emperor, so could she not bear to see Yuzhu and the Emperor being in love?

The emperor is her son, how could she not see him living a good life?

Yuzhu: "I will give it a try. What if the emperor agrees?" Yuzhu was only thinking about how to help the queen regain her lost face.

Don't let the queen be ridiculed by the concubines tomorrow.

The Queen shook her head. "No need. The Queen Mother is determined to punish me."

"If it doesn't work today, there will be something else tomorrow." The Queen Mother wanted to punish her. If she escaped today, there was still tomorrow.

Only when the Queen Mother is relieved can she live a good life.

Yuzhu hugged the queen in pain, "My queen, the queen mother is too cruel." And it was on such a big day as New Year's Eve.

It's really too much.
