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

The Empress has returned to the palace.

When the Empress Dowager heard the news, she was still thinking of sending Princess Hejing to the Empress's Changchun Immortal Pavilion.

Let Princess Hejing spend some quality time with the Empress and try to help her recover as soon as possible.

"When did this happen?" The Empress Dowager wondered what the Empress had done to displease the Emperor, given how short a time had it been.

Aunt Chun: "Regarding yesterday's events, I heard it was because of a conflict with the Imperial Concubine." The Empress is always muddle-headed.

Consort Gao's face, even if placed in any man's harem, would be the apple of his eye. But the Empress always believed that she was the most special.

In fact, the Empress was dignified and elegant, and her character and family background were also excellent. This was the reason why the late Emperor chose her to be the Empress of the current Emperor.

It's not about feelings.

The late emperor himself had no feelings for his empress, so he wouldn't have considered these things.

Empress Dowager: "What exactly is going on?" It seems that the Consort is not the type to provoke others.

Aunt Chun: "The Empress Dowager guessed correctly. The Consort did not take the initiative. I heard that the Empress asked the Consort to chant sutras and pray for blessings in the Buddhist hall. After the Consort knelt in the Buddhist hall for an hour, the palace maids around the Consort were worried about the Consort's health, so they went to find the Emperor."

"The Empress is so foolish!" the Empress Dowager sighed. "Is the Consort alright?" If the Consort alright was in trouble, based on her understanding of the Emperor, the affairs of the harem would once again be left to her, the retired Empress Dowager.

Aunt Chun said, "The Imperial Concubine is fine, just some bruises on her knees. Applying some medicine will take care of it." Then she recounted how the Empress had ordered two maids to make the Imperial Concubine kneel in the Buddhist hall.

"Go back! Go back now! Don't cause trouble here." The Empress Dowager never expected that the Empress would resort to such despicable means.

In the palace, these are the kinds of methods used to torment concubines, with those in higher positions harassing those in lower positions. She never imagined that the Empress could do such a thing.

What kind of empress would do such a thing?

Aunt Chun: "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, please don't be angry. The Empress has already returned." The Empress Dowager has been very worried about the Empress, but the Empress did not help her up at all and even did these things.

The Empress Dowager frowned in anger. "Go tell the Consort that all matters concerning the Yuanmingyuan should be handed over to her. Also, I have some scar-reducing ointment; take a jar to the Consort as well."

-

Consort Gao's eyes softened slightly as she looked at the gifts sent by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

"Your Highness, how could you have knelt for an hour? Your knees are covered in bruises, and I don't know when they will fade." Tinghe looked at Consort Gao's knees with heartache.

The bruises on it really covered the entire knee. Tinghe didn't dare to use too much force, as the Empress had always been afraid of pain since she was a child.

Consort Gao was in high spirits. "Good tidings, haven't we achieved our goal now?" What she wanted was to kick someone when they're down and beat them while they're down.

The Empress has now angered the Emperor. By placing her in the Yuanmingyuan Garden, it's possible that the Emperor might want to see her again someday.

The Changchun Immortal Pavilion is very close to the Emperor's Jiuzhou Qingyan, just a few steps away. What if the Emperor's footsteps take a detour and he ends up at the Empress's place?

The Empress said some more gentle words, hoping that the Emperor might be coaxed back by her again.

Then she would truly be at a disadvantage.

They've already put on a good show in front of the Empress Dowager for so long; if they fail at the last minute, she'll be furious.

Tinghe still felt sorry for him, "Your Majesty, is it really possible for Consort Jing to win over the Emperor?" The Emperor doesn't seem like a sentimental person, so how could he be easily coaxed by Consort Jing?

Consort Jing's face is no match for theirs. What theirs can't do, Consort Jing really can do?

Consort Gao had an intuition: "Tinghe, trust me. If Consort Jing can't please the Emperor, then no one in this world can." Ever since Consort Jing gained favor, the Empress's treatment in the Emperor's eyes has deteriorated day by day.

Even when such things happened in the past, the Emperor would not punish the Empress, but would think she was meddling. The Empress was the master, and she, as a concubine, naturally had to be humble and swallow all these things.

"Your Majesty, what if Consort Jing gives birth to a prince in the future?" Tinghe was still a little worried. Your Majesty herself doesn't have any children, but if Consort Jing really has a child, wouldn't Consort Jing be able to rise in rank by taking advantage of the child?

At that time, their positions were roughly the same as Consort Jing's.

Consort Gao was not worried about any of this: "There will only be more and more women with children in this palace, so it won't make a difference if Consort Jing is one more."

"If Consort Jing were to have a child, that would be even better. The Emperor dotes on Consort Jing; surely he wouldn't want to wrong her son?" Such words would likely throw the Empress into a panic.

Then they continue to do some foolish things.

Tinghe: "What if Consort Jing wants to be like Your Highness at that time?" She wasn't worried about Consort Jing having a child, but about Consort Jing using the child to become like Your Highness.

At that time, the Empress had no children, which put her at a disadvantage compared to Consort Jing.

Consort Gao said, "Tinghe, you're thinking too far ahead. You need to understand that the current situation hasn't been resolved yet, so how can you be sure about the future?" Consort Gao felt that Yu Suisui wasn't that kind of person, but she still had a little bit of caution in her heart.

"Go tell the people in the Imperial Household Department that we need to set a new rule and have all the managers from various departments come over." Consort Gao didn't plan to do anything drastic. The Empress Dowager had only been in charge of the harem for a few years, but those people who remained when she was in charge should not be touched for the time being.

The Empress had replaced all these people with her own, but she didn't have that many people, so it was better to keep things as they were.

-

Consort Chun was completely stunned by this news.

"Is Consort Gao in charge of the Yuanmingyuan?" Consort Chun asked again to confirm. "Has the Empress returned to the palace?" With these two things happening together, Consort Chun felt like her brain couldn't keep up.

Isn't Consort Gao's status temporary? Hasn't the Empress's health already greatly improved?

How did both of these things change overnight?

The palace maid said, "Her Majesty the Empress has returned to the palace." The maid was worried, as Consort Chun had often bullied Consort Gui in the past.

Now that the Imperial Concubine is in power, what if she wants to retaliate?

Consort Chun: "Go and find out again whether the Noble Consort framed the Empress!" This must be because the Noble Consort used some underhanded tricks against the Empress.

Otherwise, how could the Empress possibly return to the palace?

The Emperor treats the Empress differently. Although the Empress is showing signs of falling out of favor, she is still the Empress after all.

It is still the main position of the sixth palace.

We still need to find out more about this.

Yu Suisui was living her carefree life when she heard Qingguo say that Consort Chun had arrived.

"I won't see anyone." Consort Chun's brain seems to have been randomly brought out of the house, and she doesn't want to talk to the brainless Consort Chun.
