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

The Empress Dowager thought of the Imperial Concubine, whom she had promoted, and she wanted the Imperial Concubine to share some of the Empress's power in the palace.

However, I never thought of having the Imperial Concubine replace the Empress.

Whether she likes the Empress or not, it doesn't affect her opinion.

Emperor Qianlong hesitated for a moment: "Let's leave it at that for now." The Consort did a better job than the Empress in these matters.

The Empress Dowager understood: "It's good that you know what's going on. Your mother only hopes that everything will be well for you." That meant that the Consort would not replace the Empress.

The emperor still clearly understood the difference.

The Empress Dowager went to live in Changchun Garden, and the Empress was the most heartbroken.

She thought that if they lived together, she would always have a chance to visit the Empress Dowager and talk to her more, and maybe the Empress Dowager would change her mind.

Yuzhu carried the medicine. "Your Majesty, the medicine is warmed up." The Empress was about to recover, but the Empress Dowager was furious because she wanted the Consort to replace her.

My health has deteriorated again.

The empress didn't want to take the medicine, but she told herself that she had to pull herself together and not be like that day.

Even though that's not what I was thinking, every word I said seemed to be stirring up conflict.

"Yuzhu, did Foerguochun go too?" The Empress held the medicine and drank it sip by sip. The bitterness in her throat was something she had somehow grown accustomed to.

It just tastes too bitter.

Yu Zhu: "The Empress Dowager said that the princess should go to Changchun Garden for a while and then be sent back to the Empress Dowager." At least the Empress Dowager didn't take the princess away.

If the Empress Dowager were to snatch the princess away, she would risk her life to get the princess back for the Empress.

The Empress only has one daughter, the Princess.

No one can take the princess away from the queen.

The Empress thought that during the time she was recuperating, Folgochun had been by the Empress Dowager's side. She had only seen Folgochun once, during the New Year.

"I... never mind, I'll see Folgochun when I'm better." The Empress thought for a moment, realizing that seeing Folgochun in her current state might frighten her.

Folgochun has always been her precious treasure; she can't be treated like this.

"Your Majesty, if you wish to see the princess now, this servant will go to Changchun Garden to plead with the Empress Dowager." She thought the Empress didn't need to ask the Empress Dowager because Princess Hejing was by the Empress Dowager's side.

The Empress shook her head. "No, I think I should wait until I'm better before seeing her. Otherwise, if she sees me like this, she might worry and cry." Yes, Yonglian and Ferguchun are both worried about her, but what has she done?

She has been repeatedly pondering the Empress Dowager's words lately. Even though she had already made up her mind, she still couldn't help but think about them.

What exactly is it supposed to do?

Could it be that this is the kind of ending I really want?

Yuzhu: "Your Majesty is right. The princess is the most filial. Seeing that Your Majesty is not well, she is probably so worried that she can't eat or sleep well." Although the princess is young, she understands everything.

Thinking of her child, the Queen decided to pull herself together.

Yu Suisui moved into Wanfang Anhe.

Zhang Chang didn't stay with them this time; she moved to a remote courtyard. However, since it was such a big event as Yu Suisui's move, she still brought her belongings with her.

"Consort Jing." Although Consort Zhang had always felt in her heart that Consort Jing was Xiuzhi and had never changed, she still used the same title as everyone else.

Yu Sui Sui smiled and asked, "Sister Zhang, what delicious food did you bring this time?" She looked at Zhang Changzai carrying a food box and thought that it must be meat rolls that the original owner liked to eat.

Zhang Changzai: "These are the meat rolls that Consort Jing likes." The method is very simple; it's just wrapping prepared braised meat inside a thin pancake.

This is a bit like a spring roll, except it only contains meat.

They used to love eating meat, but after Xiuzhi started serving in the small Buddhist hall, they were no longer allowed to eat meat.

It is said that one must be devout in serving the Bodhisattva, and one must not touch any meat or fish.

Every time she ate meat, it was secretly brought to her by herself. Thinking of these past events, Zhang Changzai recalled the time when she was still in the Prince's Mansion. Back then, if she had a day off, she could ask her mother to let her go out and stroll around the streets.

When they first left the palace, they stared at the endless stream of snacks on the street without even blinking.

This meat roll is an improved version of a type of thin pancake that I used to eat.

Yu Suisui: "Qingguo, go and get a pot of wine. I want to drink with Sister Zhang."

Seeing that Yu Suisui was in a good mood, Qingguo didn't try to persuade her.

It's still the first month of the lunar calendar, so even if we drink wine, the emperor won't say anything.

Zhang Changzai: "You seem to be in a good mood, but I've been worried about you lately." The first month of the lunar calendar is supposed to be a time for happiness, but Yu Suisui stayed at the Hall of Mental Cultivation until the Lantern Festival.

This displeased the ladies of the harem, and Consort Chun had a lot of gossip circulating about it.

She was more worried about the Empress.

Yuzhu keeps coming to Chuxiu Palace, and several times it seems she wants to settle scores with Xiuzhi.

Yu Suisui: "Sister Zhang, you don't need to worry about these things anymore. The Emperor likes me. He will definitely be able to protect me well." When Qianlong wants to protect someone, there is never a problem.

But when Qianlong didn't want to care about someone, he would look at the Empress's current state. She was the Empress, but now she seemed to be living a worse life than Consort Gao.

Emperor Qianlong's dissatisfaction was expressed in such a direct way.

Zhang Changzai thought this made sense. "Then I can worry less in the future. Just one thing: when the Empress's people come to you, don't be so kind as to agree to everything." The Empress's side is now... well, what was it again?

It's at its last gasp.

Is this the word? Zhang Chang racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't remember if this was the word.

Is that roughly the word?

Yu Suisui: "I definitely don't care, and the Emperor forbids me from mentioning the Empress." She now has the latest materials provided by Gao Yuncong, proving that the Empress is not quite the same as she appears now.

The Empress chose to give up this child.

Because they knew the child might not survive, due to the Queen's own health issues and the child's own poor health.

This is truly unexpected.

"It's better if you don't mention it. You don't know how annoying Yu Zhu is, who's always by the Empress's side." While complaining, Zhang Changzai didn't forget the information he had gathered. "They say that Consort Yu Gui seems to want to contact you."

The female doctor is gone, but there are still others.

Zhang Changzai was always worried that he had nothing to give back to Yu Suisui, so he would try his best to find out about her through various connections and inquiries.

Yu Suisui has already realized that Consort Yu is trying to get close to her; last night was a good example.
