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

In Chuxiu Palace, Qingguo came back to pack things for Yu Suisui, and also told Zhang Changzai that he wanted to take her to the Old Summer Palace to celebrate the festival.

Moreover, judging from the emperor's attitude, he will probably have to stay in the Old Summer Palace for a while.

She had heard before that the Old Summer Palace had mountains and rivers, but she had never seen it. This time, because of the Empress, Qingguo thought that she could go and see it herself.

Zhang Changzai chanted a few words of "Amitabha", "Is Concubine Jing okay?" Zhang Changzai had a quick meeting with Yu Suisui on the night of New Year's Eve, and before they had played Go for long, the emperor called Xiuzhi to accompany him.

I stayed with the emperor for more than ten days, and he didn't let me come back.

Qingguo replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Changzai, our Queen is fine." The Queen really felt like a fish in water in the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor loves the empress and gives her rewards almost every day, sometimes twice a day.

The Emperor gave the Empress plenty of gold that she liked.

The red envelopes that the Empress received during the New Year were each worth ten taels of gold. The Empress had five in total. These five red envelopes alone were worth half of the gold that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent to the Empress Dowager's palace every year.

"Okay, that's all. Please thank Concubine Jing for me regarding the trip to the Old Summer Palace." Zhang Changzai then took out the red envelope she had prepared and said, "This is for Concubine Jing. There's not much in it, but it's a token of my love. Please help bring it to Concubine Jing."

Maybe when they arrived at the Old Summer Palace, they could no longer live together. It was possible that Xiuzhi would still live with the emperor, and she might live in a more remote courtyard.

After Qingguo put the red envelope away, she saw Zhang Changzai take out another one and said, "This is for you. You stayed in the Yangxin Palace with Concubine Jing during the New Year, and this was not given to you." Qingguo took care of Xiuzhi very attentively.

She knew she was not qualified, but Xiuzhi was so good to her that she had nothing to give in return.

"Thank you, Changzai." Qingguo had a smile on her face. She knew that Changzai Zhang was living in poverty. In the poor days before, Changzai Zhang saved money from his own teeth to buy medicine for the empress.

Otherwise, the Empress wouldn't have survived.

The Empress has always been grateful to Zhang Changzai in her heart. What's the benefit of this? The Empress always thinks about Zhang Changzai.

Zhang Changzai smiled and said, "You go pack your things first, I won't keep you any longer." As long as Xiuzhi is happy in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, that's all that matters. She wouldn't tell Xiuzhi about the Empress' affairs for the time being.

Otherwise Xiuzhi will have an unhappy Lantern Festival.

Concubine Gao gained the upper hand, and the entire Chengqian Palace was filled with joy.

Especially Ting He, when she was directing people to pack up, she did not forget to tell the imperial concubine the information she had heard.

"It seems that the Queen returned crying from the Queen Mother's Palace." Ting He felt that this might be true news, but this news did not seem to be so accurate. The Queen went in a warm sedan chair, and it must be just as good when she returned.

"I'm starting to cry now, and I'll be crying for a long time in the future." Concubine Gao was in a good mood. She was like the villain in the opera, but it didn't matter. Compared with the time when she was hiding her true self, she felt very happy now.

Ting He: "Your Majesty, please keep it to yourself. After all, there are always ears. If it gets out, it will seem like you are taking advantage of someone when they are down."

"Are you joking?" Concubine Gao glanced at Tinghe. Both she and the Queen were brought to the table directly by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. It was said behind their backs or to their faces. Saying it to their faces would be more uncomfortable, right?

Ting He: "I'm just afraid that the Emperor will be unhappy if he finds out that Your Majesty made fun of the Queen in private." If someone tells others about what happened today, this will be a ready-made handle.

Concubine Gao raised the corner of her eye slightly, "Your Majesty, if you want to know, how could I possibly hide this? There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world."

"That's just my temper. The Queen had lost face for me before, and the Emperor got it back for me. Of course I have to laugh at the Queen."

Concubine Gao never thought that Emperor Qianlong didn't know what was going on in the harem. The emperor knew everything, but just pretended not to know.

Ting He: "..." It's better not to say anything. If you continue, the Empress will start yelling about her dissatisfaction with the Queen.

Concubine Chun also wanted to go, but she felt uncomfortable. The scar on her chin was quite noticeable, and the ointment prescribed by the imperial physician would take a month to work.

But if she didn't go to the Old Summer Palace, she might not be able to see the emperor for the next month. After thinking about it, she found a pink and purple gauze and made a curtain for herself.

I can't let outsiders see my current appearance, but I can't really not go.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jia is going to be in trouble this time. She is pregnant, but the Emperor actually wants her to stay in the palace." Concubine Jia's pregnancy is in good condition, so there is no need for her to take a carriage to the Old Summer Palace.

Every year before, the emperor would bring Jiapin with him when he went to the Old Summer Palace. However, after Jiapin concealed her pregnancy, the emperor began to ignore her. Even when Jiapin was pregnant, the emperor would not see her.

Concubine Chun glanced in the direction of Concubine Jia's palace and said, "She deserves it. Who told her to be so smart!" Only a fool would think of such a method. Such a method will only make people laugh.

"Go and send some milk to Jiapin later. It should be the unopened kind with a seal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs saying that I asked her to make some milk dumplings in the palace." Concubine Chun wanted to disgust Jiapin on purpose. When she was in Yongzhang, she drank two too many cans of milk.

She said, "I still have two cans of milk for you. If you like it, just tell me. Why bother buying it yourself? I don't know if it's clean."

Thinking back to that time when she was still in the palace, her dislike for Concubine Jia increased a little.

"I almost remember that someone else threw it away and asked her to eat it." Concubine Chun thought to herself that if she had the chance, she would go and add insult to injury to Concubine Jia. Concubine Jia always felt that she was a Han woman and did not have a noble status like her, so she looked down on her vaguely.

"Also, tell Jiapin that her belly looks different from when I was pregnant with her. It's round, not pointed. She might be pregnant with a princess."

Concubine Chun knew that Concubine Jia wanted to give birth to a prince. The first prince after the emperor ascended the throne would naturally receive some attention. Moreover, if it was a prince, his seniority would be the same as the emperor's, and there would be another opportunity for her to be close to the emperor.

Thinking of this, Concubine Chun prepared to go to the Old Summer Palace and went to the temple behind it. She gave the abbot Duoduo a lot of incense money and asked the abbot to chant sutras to the Bodhisattva and bless Concubine Jia to give birth to a princess.
