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

Yu Suisui didn't intend to tell Qianlong, but how could Qianlong not know that there was someone in the Empress's palace who looked like her?

Emperor Qianlong didn't actually like her; he just liked her type right now.

That means anyone can replace her.

“The Emperor probably knows,” Yu Suisui said, sounding somewhat disappointed.

Consort Zhang said, "Don't be sad, the Emperor definitely likes you." She shouldn't have said that last sentence. She knew it, so how could the Emperor not know?

Yu Suisui was disappointed for a while, then went fishing with Zhang Changzai.

"Should we just give up fishing?" Zhang Changzai looked at his nearly full bucket and Yu Suisui's bucket, which hadn't caught a single fish. He was a little worried that this might make Yu Suisui even more upset.

Yu Suisui is very knowledgeable about his fishing skills.

It was common for her to not catch any fish, but when she did, it was a miracle.

Miracles don't happen every day.

"It's nothing." Yu Suisui's expression remained the same as before, indifferent.

Zhang Changzai: ... She dared not say anything more now, for she was afraid that Yu Suisui would be really hurt. She knew how much Yu Suisui cared about the Emperor.

Li Yu reported Yu Suisui's sad situation to the authorities.

"Has the Empress been behaving herself lately?" Emperor Qianlong had been keeping an eye on the Empress, and he no longer trusted her at all.

The Empress is someone who likes to disguise herself.

Li Yu: "Your Majesty, the Empress is doing well in the palace." After the Empress returned to the palace, things quieted down.

The imperial physician had previously examined the Empress and said that she had calmed down and was no longer as manic as before.

Emperor Qianlong was practicing calligraphy. He wrote the character "静" (jing, meaning quiet/still) many times. "That palace maid by the Empress's side, I'll deal with her sometime." She was always causing trouble.

Li Yu: "Yes." Since the Empress did not approve, Yu Zhu did not dare to do so many things on her own initiative, but he could not say this.

After writing the last character "静" (jing, meaning quiet/still), Emperor Qianlong said, "Send a small golden mountain to Consort Jing." He already knew that there was a palace maid in the Empress's palace who looked similar to Consort Jing, and like Consort Jing before, she served in the small Buddhist hall.

Li Yu thought that Qianlong didn't care about this matter, after all, he knew in his heart that even someone as beautiful as Consort Gao could not compare to the original Empress.

Consort Jing was only brought up because the Emperor and Empress had a conflict, and the Emperor wanted to pass the time by bringing Consort Jing up.

As for giving Consort Jing a position as a consort, that was truly because of the Second Prince.

Those who served the Emperor knew how much he valued the Second Prince. If it weren't for Consort Jing saving the Second Prince, Consort Jing would have had to wait several years to reach the rank of Consort.

In less than half a year, Consort Jing has achieved the leap from Noble Lady to Imperial Concubine, making her the first in the palace to do so.

"Summon Gao Yun to see me." Qianlong thought about the past events, which had been going on for so long, and it was time for a resolution.

When Gao Yun first arrived, he was actually a little uneasy. It was better not to investigate this matter at all; once he started, it felt like he couldn't stop.

"You mean, this matter also has the shadow of the previous dynasty?" Qianlong looked at the evidence in his hand; the more he investigated, the more people he found.

Gao Yuncong knelt on the ground and honestly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." What could he do? These people were all like pulling up a radish and bringing out the mud. He originally thought it was over, but as he investigated, more and more people came up.

It's true for the eldest prince, and it's also true for the second prince.

The same applies to the Empress.

Gao Yuncong was almost going crazy. If he could, he wished he had never taken on this matter in the first place.

Emperor Qianlong skimmed through the text, and when he saw those familiar names, he was somewhat surprised, but there weren't many.

"Don't alert them yet." Qianlong looked at these people, each of them putting on a good act.

Gao Yuncong: "Yes, this servant will remember." These people are not people he should be able to investigate; it should be done by the Emperor's own people.

-

Yu Sui Sui was waiting for Qianlong to give her a result. She watched as Qianlong dragged out the matter of the Second Prince until now without giving a definite answer.

Either the personnel involved are inconvenient to handle, or there is a bigger secret hidden behind this.

But she wanted to know.

It's a pity that I don't have many people I can use in the palace.

The Empress was truly focused in the palace, preparing to recite the Rebirth Sutra for her child who had passed away early.

Later, when it was heard that the Empress Dowager had gone out with the Imperial Concubine, there was surprisingly little reaction.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is now treating our Changchun Palace like a discarded pawn!" Yuzhu said, her eyes red with anger. How good the Empress Dowager had been to their Changchun Palace in the past.

Now that the Empress has lost the Emperor's favor, the Empress Dowager is like a completely different person.

The Empress remained calm. "Yuzhu, don't say that. The Empress Dowager has always been very good to me." It's just that she herself didn't cherish it back then.

The Empress Dowager said that there is only one master in this world, and that is the Emperor.

All the others were the emperor's slaves.

She has truly come to her senses now, but it's too late; the Empress Dowager no longer wants her.

Yu Zhu felt a pang of heartache and dared not say anything more. She only asked, "What does Your Highness think of that palace maid?" She wanted to find someone to share Consort Jing's favor and let Consort Jing know that if Changchun Palace could promote her, it could also promote others.

The Empress took a deep breath. "Yuzhu, I know you mean well, but please don't do things like this, okay?" She knew that Yuzhu felt that Consort Jing had betrayed Changchun Palace and her.

She said last time that Consort Jing had already repaid all the favors she owed.

Yu Zhu was unwilling. "Your Majesty, if everyone is like her, who will respect Changchun Palace in the future?" Your Majesty's relationship with the Emperor is already bad. If Consort Jing continues to sow discord, I'm afraid Changchun Palace will really have no place in the palace in the future.

Empress: "Yuzhu, you're just wasting your time doing this." The Emperor prefers Consort Jing, not someone who looks like her.

"Your Majesty, please let me try, just this once." If this doesn't work, there are other ways.

The Empress thought that Yuzhu had been with her for over twenty years, and she couldn't bear to make Yuzhu sad.

"Just this once," the Empress said, and then resumed copying her scriptures.

-

March was fast approaching, and Emperor Qianlong was about to return to the palace to prepare for his journey to the imperial mausoleum to commemorate the death anniversary of his beloved grandfather, Emperor Kangxi.

Upon returning to the palace, the first news I heard was that Yuzhu, who served the emperor, was seriously ill and on the verge of death.

Yu Suisui was with Emperor Qianlong in the Hall of Mental Cultivation when the Empress rushed in before they could even tidy up.
