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

If she hadn't panicked, the Empress wouldn't have shown such an expression. The Emperor's attitude towards the Empress is currently ambiguous.

However, she didn't mind adding fuel to the fire by giving the Emperor a negative impression of the Empress.

"Since Your Majesty is like this, I really do want to go, I want to go right now." Consort Gao was doing this intentionally. She wanted the Empress to see what her life would be like after she fell out of favor.

Yu Zhu entered with two robust mothers. "Your Highness, the Empress invites you to the small Buddhist hall to pray for blessings." This had been prepared beforehand.

Consort Gao looked at the two robust women and felt no fear at all; on the contrary, she was quite excited.

The Emperor certainly wouldn't want to see this happen.

However, the Empress herself insisted on causing trouble.

She obediently followed Yuzhu and her two mothers.

The Empress felt somewhat uneasy, but considering that she was, after all, the Empress, it was only right that the Consort dared not disobey her.

-

When Yu Suisui saw Consort Gao crying with tears streaming down her face, she noticed the Empress standing to the side with a livid expression.

This is a case where the Empress failed to deal with the Consort, but was instead outmaneuvered by the Consort's scheme.

Does the Imperial Concubine have a grudge against the Empress?

Emperor Qianlong's face was as dark as the night outside. "Empress, the Imperial Concubine is managing the harem on your behalf, which is already hard work. What's the point of you making such a fuss?"

Why can't the Empress just rest and recover quietly? She has to cause trouble.

The Empress bit her lip. What did she mean by "making a scene"? When did she make a scene? It was clearly the Emperor himself who, fickle as he was, gave away the power that rightfully belonged to the Empress to the Consort.

How come it's her who's causing trouble?

"Your Majesty, I only asked the Consort to chant sutras and pray for blessings." She just wanted to make things difficult for the Consort, but she didn't expect the Consort to scheme against her like this.

She simply wanted to reclaim the power that rightfully belonged to her.

Emperor Qianlong frowned as he watched the Empress remain unrepentant even now.

"Empress, how far are you going to go? Give me a definite answer." Qianlong was exhausted. He had been dealing with his relationship with the Empress lately, and thinking about their sweet past together now felt like a series of slaps in the face.

The pattering sound was like rain, continuous and persistent.

Seeing Qianlong protecting Consort Gao, the Empress already knew the answer. Thinking back to how foolish she had been to believe what Qianlong said, the Empress felt like a fool.

"Your Majesty, I've caused a scene. The Imperial Concubine's crying is so fake, can't you see it? Can't you tell that the Imperial Concubine is putting on an act, trying to sow discord between us?" The Imperial Concubine has been crying for so long, but her makeup is still on.

It wasn't spent anywhere.

Emperor Qianlong could tell that Consort Gao was acting, but she had indeed suffered injustice; she was forced to kneel before the Bodhisattva by two maids in the Buddhist hall.

The Imperial Concubine had never suffered such torment before.

The Empress didn't know when she had learned such torturous methods.

"Empress, did you summon the Consort to kneel in the Buddhist hall?" Qianlong only saw the result, and the Consort's misfortune was also undeserved.

The Empress has been avoiding him lately, so she sought out the Consort who is temporarily in charge of the inner palace, hoping to vent her anger on her.

"Your Majesty, I summoned her to pray for blessings." The Empress didn't reveal her true intentions; she simply wanted to torment the Consort. If the Consort hadn't interfered, her things wouldn't have ended up in the Consort's hands.

Her power was absolutely not to be allowed to fall into the hands of any of the concubines.

Yu Suisui watched the two from the sidelines, and now that she saw it this way, she had a better idea of ​​why these two were the male and female leads.

Both of them were talking to themselves, neither explaining nor believing what the other was saying.

This misunderstanding is just perfect!

Yu Suisui thought that Qianlong had recently softened his stance a little, probably after talking with the Empress Dowager again and coming up with some ideas.

It's better now.

It was impossible for Emperor Qianlong and the Empress to reconcile.

At least at this stage, reconciliation is impossible.

Consort Gao just cried without explaining. The Emperor held her hand so tightly and seemed to be hurting her; she knew exactly what the Emperor was thinking.

The Emperor was merely dissatisfied with the Empress, but not particularly pleased or fond of her; otherwise, with such force, he would have nearly broken his own hand.

Back when they were in the Prince's residence, the Emperor treated the Empress differently from everyone else, and now the Emperor still treats the Empress differently from them.

It's probably the difference between wives and concubines.

Consort Gao suddenly had an unprecedented idea: if she became the Emperor's wife, would that make the Empress even more miserable?

"Empress, how have you become like this? Where is your former grace and virtue?" Emperor Qianlong could no longer see any trace of the Empress as she once was.

The empress we see now is a jealous and vicious empress who torments the concubines and causes trouble.

When the Empress heard Qianlong say that, all the hidden pain in her heart resurfaced. What was this about being virtuous and gentle? Was that what she wanted?

It was the Emperor himself who said that if she was gentle and virtuous, he would like her for the rest of his life and love only her.

She's been a virtuous wife for so many years, and what has she gotten in return?

Her husband is now embracing his concubine and accusing her of changing into a different person.

"Your Majesty, you say I've changed, but haven't you changed too?" The Empress was angered by Qianlong's words, yet a warm current surged up within her, and she swallowed it forcefully.

The Emperor is truly ruthless. He caused all of this, yet he still tries to pin the blame on himself.

As Yu Suisui watched the emperor and empress arguing, she thought to herself that if these two weren't so self-centered, they would have already reconciled.

It's a pity that this couple really knows exactly what they want.

Completely disregarding other people's opinions.

Emperor Qianlong held the Imperial Concubine in his arms, his cold gaze sweeping over the Empress. "Guards, escort the Empress back to the palace." Since the Empress doesn't want to stay here, then she can go back.

"After you return, Empress, you should also go to the Buddhist temple to pray for blessings. I will have people keep an eye on you." After saying that, Qianlong emphasized, "Two hours every day."

Since the Empress herself doesn't want to recuperate properly, she should go back and recite scriptures to calm her emotions.

Upon seeing that Emperor Qianlong had left, Yu Suisui immediately followed.

After leaving Changchun Xianguan, Qianlong immediately put Consort Gao down and said, "Consort, this matter will only happen once today."

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please punish me." Consort Gao immediately admitted her mistake. The Empress was already in trouble, and she had achieved her goal. Apologizing to Qianlong wouldn't cost her a hair.

Yu Suisui: "..." So Qianlong knew, huh? He knew, yet he still spoke to the Empress like that.

This male lead must have something wrong with him.

Consort Gao wasn't afraid of Yu Suisui seeing her appearance; she had already seen the whole thing, so what difference would it make?
