Qianlong didn't think about it at all. Since the empress dowager asked him this, he naturally hoped that he could sit with her.

"Mom, I'll sit at the same table with you this year." Actually, there's no point in sitting alone.

The Queen Mother smiled and immediately assigned the seats.

Qianlong saw that Concubine Gao was sitting on the right side of the Empress Dowager, and he was sitting on the left side of the Empress Dowager. Of course, he was still the main seat in this position.

"Concubine Jing, you sit next to me." Qianlong also decided on Yu Sui's position.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, only members of the royal family were invited to the banquet. No one came, not even the Empress's family, the Fucha clan, or the Empress Dowager's family, the Nianhulu clan.

Yu Suisui immediately sat down next to Qianlong.

Concubine Chun and the others could only sit in the seats arranged by Concubine Gao. Thinking that the emperor had been in for so long and had not mentioned her Yong Zhang, Concubine Chun sometimes felt disappointed.

Does the emperor only like the second prince?

Yes, why hasn’t the Second Prince arrived yet?

"Your Majesty, has the Second Prince forgotten the time?" Concubine Chun felt that she had found a good handle. If it were in the past, she would definitely not bring it up at this time, but now the Queen has fallen out of favor.

Qianlong glanced at Concubine Chun and said in a cold tone, "I asked Yonglian to go and pay his respects to the Queen first."

"Did Yongzhang go to pay his respects to the Queen?" He was a little annoyed with Concubine Chun who was acting so foolishly.

She used to be eloquent, but now she has become a vulgar woman.

Concubine Chun did not go, and a hint of regret appeared on her face. "Your Majesty, this morning the Empress informed the six palaces that she was not feeling well, so we concubines are exempted from kowtowing to the prince." She had not planned to go in the first place.

But when facing Qianlong, she still looked a little nervous, fearing that Qianlong would be angry.

"I'll let Yongzhang kowtow to the queen later. The queen is Yongzhang's biological mother." Qianlong said this calmly, but Concubine Chun felt uncomfortable.

Even though the queen had fallen out of favor, the emperor still wanted Yong Zhang to kowtow to her.

Although this is the etiquette, but... Concubine Chun just feels uncomfortable.

Yu Suisui pretended to be a wooden beauty next to her. She shouldn't join the battle at this time. Today is the first day of the new year. I don't know if Concubine Chun's brain has been eaten by cockroaches, and she said some confusing words.

Jiapin was very cautious, afraid that her breathing would attract Emperor Qianlong's attention. She kept her head down and did not speak.

Concubine Xian was used to the emperor's neglect of her over the years.

After a while, the princes and their wives from the royal family, led by eunuchs and palace maids, all came to the Qianqing Palace.

The princes' wives all rushed to attend this annual banquet where they could show off. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not have this opportunity.

But after everyone saw the seating arrangement this time, their thoughts turned again and again. This Queen was probably gone.

But this time is too short. The emperor has been on the throne for only three years, and this year is only the fourth year of Qianlong's reign, and it has already come to an end?

However, after seeing the Second Prince later, he felt that the matter was still unresolved.

The Queen is someone who supports the Second Prince, and the Second Prince is valued by the Emperor. If the Queen takes the Second Prince back in the future, it is not impossible for him to make a comeback.

For a time, the hearts of the royal family were divided into several factions.

Yu Suisui is the coldest one in this group, and almost no one pays attention to him. After all, Yu Suisui's status is too low, and he doesn't even have any relatives from his mother's family.

There was no one in the court.

This Concubine Jing is young now and has not given birth to a child yet.

Now all we have is the Emperor's favor, but this thing is the most unreliable. How long can the Emperor's favor last? The favor of the Empress is simply the standard of the favorite concubine in the past, but now it is not on the decline.

Yu Suisui was not worried at all about his cold situation.

-

"Did the Emperor take Concubine Jing with him?" The Queen was fidgeting in Changchun Palace. She had actually changed her clothes long ago and even put on her makeup.

But in the end, she still didn't want to see, nor did she dare to see the Queen Mother.

She was worried about the mocking looks from the concubines, and even more worried that the empress dowager would ignore her and look at her in the same way as before.

She didn't want to see either.

The Queen asked Yuzhu to tell the Queen Mother that she was not feeling well. She thought the Queen Mother would show more concern, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to say anything.

Not even a word of concern.

Yuzhu replied, "Your Majesty, I don't know." If this matter were really told, it would hurt Your Majesty's heart.

The emperor entered the Qianqing Palace holding Concubine Jing's hand, or rode in the emperor's exclusive dragon sedan chair.

The Empress used to be exclusive to her, but now the Empress’ position has obviously been replaced by Concubine Jing.

"Yuzhu, tell me the truth? If you don't tell the truth, I will ask someone else." The queen knew that Yuzhu must know the situation.

There is a grand banquet in the Qianqing Palace today, so it is very easy to get information at this time.

Yuzhu then told the queen about the matter.

"He took Concubine Jing in hand?" The queen couldn't believe what she heard. How could the emperor do this? When she was in the palace, one year on her birthday, she said she wanted the emperor to hold her hand and walk in, but what did the emperor say at that time?

The emperor said that he was a prince, so how could he do such a sentimental thing? He also said that such a private matter should not be made public.

What is the emperor doing now?

Isn't this obvious?

Yuzhu nodded with difficulty, "Yes." That Concubine Jing was really shameless. Not only was she shameless, but she also couldn't even consider the emperor's face.

If the censors outside knew about this, I don’t know what they would say to the emperor.

The queen's face turned pale, completely bloodless.

"Your Majesty?" Yuzhu ran over and supported the Queen. "Your Majesty, don't be sad. It's all that Concubine Jing's fault!"

The queen's tears suddenly fell.

"Your Majesty?" Yuzhu was worried when she saw that the Queen didn't say anything.

"It's all Concubine Jing's fault, it's all her..."

Before Yuzhu could finish her words, the Queen grabbed her hand and said, "Go and ask, maybe you saw it wrongly?" Was it possible that they were standing together and those people saw it wrongly, thinking that it was the Emperor holding Concubine Jing's hand?

The queen's eyes were a little dazed. She looked at Yuzhu and wondered if she was still dreaming, otherwise how could she hear such outrageous words.

Yuzhu supported the queen, feeling anxious, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" The queen's appearance made Yuzhu feel very uneasy.

"How about I go and call the imperial physician?"

The Queen simply grabbed Yuzhu's hand and repeatedly asked, "Did you see it wrong?"

Yuzhu didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that the queen would be upset.
