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

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the empress dowager moved with the late emperor's concubines to Changchun Garden next door.

The first time the Fourth Master went back to pay his respects, he brought back two beautiful ladies.

One was a girl from the Uya clan, the Fourth Master’s biological mother’s family, and the other was a sister of the same clan as the Fourteenth Master’s wife, Wanyan.

The Queen Mother's move directly hit the Fourth Master right in the heart.

The Fourth Master was so angry that he gave the woman from the Uya clan a title, "De", which means De Da Ying.

The other Wanyan clan member was not troubled at all. She was just made a maid and placed in a corner to fend for herself.

When Nian found out, she was extremely jealous. However, by that time, Wanyan was already a candidate for the Fourth Master's favorite concubine.

"I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine." Wanyan squatted with a graceful posture. From Yu Suisui's perspective, her neck was so slender that she felt she could crush her to death with one blow.

Yu Suisui raised his hand and asked her to stand up. This was the first time she met Wanyan, the famous lady in the Old Summer Palace.

She was wearing a pink cheongsam with round patterns and had a small two-comb hairstyle. She had a small face the size of a palm and a hint of sadness between her brows, which made people feel distressed just by looking at her.

No wonder the Fourth Master was so angry, but he pulled her out later. It turned out it was because of her beauty.

If Nian was a woman of great talent, then Wanyan was the kind of weak, helpless and pitiful girl that men loved the most.

She looks so moved?

The Queen Mother has found the right person. I don’t know if the Fourth Master can handle it.

When Wanyan saw the imperial concubine looking at her, she became flustered. Imperial Concubine Nian had made trouble for her a few days ago, and she knelt on the ground for a long time. Now, would Imperial Concubine Su also make trouble for her?

Wanyan bit her lip and dared not say anything more.

Concubine Su was more favored than Concubine Nian and lived with the emperor on a daily basis, so she didn't dare to offend her.

Yu Suisui looked at him for a while, waved his hand, and said, "You can go back."

She's a beauty? Just admiring her is enough.

When Wanyan heard this, it was like heavenly music to her ears, and she quickly bowed and took her leave.

When the fourth master arrived at daybreak, Yu Suisui was feeding the koi in the lake out of boredom.

"Don't feed them anymore. If they eat more, they will fall over." The Fourth Master took the fish food from Yu Suisui's hand and handed it to the palace servant beside him.

Half hugging Yu Suisui, I looked at the autumn scenery of Houhu Lake. The withered lotus leaves were everywhere, which made me feel desolate. The lotus flowers in summer are still more beautiful.

"You are free now, why don't you invite Wu and the others to have tea and watch a play together?" They didn't get together often in the past, and they haven't been seen interacting recently.

Yu Suisui leaned against the fence and said, "Ms. Wu is now busy with her painting, and she has been tired of listening to operas for many years." She wrote the script herself, but the troupe leader said he didn't dare to sing it at all.

As for Geng, her little brother was busy playing with cats and dogs all day long, so he had no time to come and chat with them.

The Fourth Master didn't particularly care about these things. He rested his chin on Yu Suisui's shoulder and thought about the affairs of the court. He was also annoyed.

Thirteenth brother, in the end, became a subject of the king, and was no longer the same as before.

I stayed here for a while, thinking of leaving the withered lotus leaves to listen to the sound of rain, and looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, I thought it would rain soon.

"Jiaoyu, tell the people in the kitchen that I want to eat hotpot here." You should eat hotpot on rainy days.

The Fourth Master was also here, listening to the sound of rain while eating a mutton hotpot with Yu Suisui.

The late emperor passed away and the mourning period lasted for twenty-seven months. The Fourth Master took his place and has started eating meat a long time ago.

When the rain stopped at night, Yu Suisui and the Fourth Master returned to Jiuzhou Qingyan from the sky. Only when no one was visible did Niu Hulu come out from the small room upstairs.

She came in the morning and took a nap in the afternoon when the sun was shining. When she woke up, she saw Concubine Su in the pavilion downstairs. She was about to go downstairs to pay her respects, but for some reason, she hesitated for a moment and sat in the small room upstairs with a little palace maid.

She watched Wanyan come and leave, then watched the Emperor come and hug Concubine Su and chat, and then watched them have dinner in the pavilion. At that moment, Niuhulu couldn't say what made her feel extremely flustered.

The emperor's eyes had never been so gentle when he looked at her, and he was always very serious when he spoke. She had thought that the emperor was such a person, but after seeing him today, she found that he was not the case.

Niuhulu gathered the loose hair at her temples, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

It can't be explained clearly, and it's hard to understand.

When Yu Suisui thought that the days would pass by just like this, a major event suddenly occurred in the palace and the empress dowager punished Nian.

Nian was frail and had just given birth to a child. When she knelt in front of the palace, the cool autumn wind blew and she fell seriously ill.

The news of Nian's death came several times, and it was reported that Nian was incurable. When the Fourth Master found out, he punished a group of palace maids in Nian's palace.

Including Nian's wet nurse, who was beaten with ten big boards and was half dead, and now was carried back to Nian's house.

"Sister, aren't you going to visit Concubine Nian?" Mrs. Wu teased the little parrot with food in hand.

Yu Suisui took a bite of grapes and found them a little sour. He frowned and quickly took a sip of tea. "No, there's nothing to see."

She won't die. She had fed Nian some health-preserving pills before. Even after so many years, the medicine should still be effective for at least ten years.

It wasn't like he was beaten to death on the spot.

Wu also expressed her opinion, "Then I won't go either." She and Nian had no friendship, and they had always met at her sister's side, just out of face.

Besides, she didn't like Nian's hypocritical attitude. When she was not favored by the Fourth Master, she was on good terms with her sister, but turned against her after she became pregnant.

Now she compares herself to her elder sister everywhere. She mentions her princes and princesses every three sentences, as if no one can give birth to children.

If Wu had not valued her life, her children would have grown up and married long ago. She had secretly taken so many contraceptive pills over the years because she did not want to go through the pain of childbirth.

Thinking of her mother, who died while giving birth, but her father took a second wife after only three months, and then two more beautiful women in less than half a year, she looked at them coldly, thinking that these men were all the same.

Seeing that Nian was deeply in love with the Fourth Master, Wu had to hold back from laughing every time she saw it.

Yu Suisui did not interfere with Wu's thoughts. Sometimes she was curious about what kind of woman Wu was. Even though they had known each other for so many years, they had never had a serious talk.

Yu Sui and Wu were living a peaceful life here, but the empress was now very busy. When Nian fell ill, the palace maids asked the fourth master to send her away. There was no one to take care of the children, so the empress had to take over.

She is the legitimate mother of all the children.

When the Queen saw the chaos surrounding Ru Gu Han Jin, she frowned and ordered the palace servants to clean up the place. Concubine Nian's child was too spoiled by her.

She endured it for more than ten days, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked the Fourth Master to come and let him experience it himself. The Fourth Master looked at these children and felt annoyed. He packed up the children and sent them to Tianran Painting, and asked the maid in the palace to take care of them.

"The Queen, please take more care of Concubine Nian." The Fourth Master rubbed his brows. Concubine Nian's current illness was the punishment she suffered from the Empress Dowager on his behalf. She had always been in poor health and it was unknown how long she would need to recuperate.

The Queen nodded and said, "I am very sad about this, but Your Majesty must take care of yourself and not overwork yourself." Seeing how tired the Emperor looked, the Queen thought she might have to instruct the people in the kitchen to prepare some health-preserving soup for the Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master nodded, and thought of Su again, saying, "As for Su, it's winter now, and she is always afraid of the cold. You should also prepare some red charcoal for Pinghu Qiuyue. She likes to go there to play these days, so don't let her get cold."

The Fourth Master had been busy with court affairs recently, and Madam Nian was ill again. Every day when he returned to the bedroom, Yu Suisui had already fallen asleep.

The Queen also nodded in agreement. She knew that the Fourth Master had Su and Nian in his heart, both of whom were his favorites. And now there was Wanyan, who was also quite loved by the Emperor.

After saying this, the Fourth Master said that there was something going on in the previous dynasty, so he went back to handle government affairs.

"Your Majesty? The Emperor is too partial to the Imperial Concubine and the others." Chunhua felt a little aggrieved as to why the Empress was always forgotten by the Emperor.

The Queen patted Chunhua's hand, who was supporting her, and reminded her, "Don't talk nonsense about the Emperor's affairs. Be careful in the future."

Chunhua knelt down quickly. She didn't know why she had lost her usual cautiousness. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"Get up, and don't talk nonsense anymore. We should do whatever the emperor says." Don't go against the emperor. Don't you see that the emperor's younger brother is still guarding the imperial mausoleum.

The Queen was thinking about something in her mind. The Emperor became more and more confused over the years. She didn't know what to do and could only follow her feelings and do what the Fourth Master said.

Whether Su is favored or Nian is favored, it's the same.

-

Niuhulu has been quite sociable recently. She went to Geng's place the day before yesterday and came to Wu's place recently.

I drank a few cups of tea with Mrs. Wu and chatted about a bunch of random things before I slowly went back.

"Your Majesty, what do you think Concubine Xi is doing?" Xiao Tao didn't understand. Her Majesty and Concubine Xi had no contact with each other, so why did they suddenly start socializing?

Wu wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief and said, "No matter what she does, it's not her plan."

It's either for the children or for myself, what else can it be.

The Sixth Prince of the Niohuru clan is not favored by the Emperor. He is twelve years old now. In two years, he should get married and have children. Isn't it just to fight for a good future for his son that he comes here to form cliques and factions?

Xiao Tao held up a porcelain box, which contained Magnolia Cream, which was specially used for hand washing. "What should we do next time when Concubine Xi comes to see you?"

Wu thought for a while and said, "Let's go find Sister Su and see if we can ask Sister Su for help."

"You said you didn't want to see Niuhulu?" Yu Suisui asked. How did Wu get in touch with Niuhulu?

Wu nodded, "Sister, can you help me think of a solution? I really don't want to see her, but Niuhulu is a little bit older than me, and I don't have any idea what to do."

When the imperial edict was delivered, Niuhulu was in front of her. According to the palace rules, her position should be behind Niuhulu.

Yu Suisui pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll try to talk to the emperor." She also knew that Wu Shi only did two things in her life: painting and playing the piano.

Wu didn't care much about other things.

"Thank you, sister." Wu's eyebrows were curved, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes revealed her happiness.

Yu Suisui played two games with Wu and the result was a draw. It seemed that her chess skills had improved.

"Empress, the emperor is back." Jiao Yu said in a low voice. When the emperor came back from Zhengda Guangming, his face was darker than a cloud, and no one knew what had happened.
