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

After chatting with Tong Gege last time, Tong Gege suddenly became busy. She began to help Concubine Niu manage the harem and had no time to have tea and chat with Yu Susui.

On the third day of May, even if the thunder and rain continue, Kangxi will definitely go to Gonghua City to visit the Queen.

In the past few years, Yu Suisui has gotten used to it. Kangxi goes to Gonghua City from time to time. She sometimes wonders why Kangxi doesn't stay with the Queen if he loves her so much. But if she thinks a little more normally, she will know that beauty is the embellishment of the country.

The queen is also a beauty, but to Kangxi, the queen is not only a beauty but also Kangxi’s first wife. Compared with a beauty, the queen also has a family meaning.

He settled down in a family and established a career. The Queen was his home and the country was his career.

That day, Tong Gege came uninvited and arrived at Changchun Palace. Yu Suisui had just woken up from a nap. She casually tied her hair into a bun and fixed it with a jade hairpin, and came out yawning.

Tong Gege stood here, seeming to be filled with sadness. Yu Suisui asked Ji Liang to make some tea. When the tea was served, Tong Gege was still a little absent-minded.

Yu Suisui didn't disturb her and let her be in a daze. After a long while, Tong Gege came to her senses and apologized, but she didn't care.

After a while, Tong Gege said goodbye and returned to her Jingren Palace, saying "thank you" before leaving.

Yu Suisui was confused for a moment, she didn't know what happened to Tong Gege. But Xi Lan reminded Yu Suisui and she realized that she was trying to see the shadow of the Queen through her.

Kangxi is really a disaster to people!

"Xi Lan, go ask the emperor tomorrow if he still wants to drink tea made with the plum blossom snow water. If he doesn't come, my jar of water may be gone." She had wanted to open the jar to see what her water looked like, but Kangxi had been very busy recently.

He repeatedly told her to wait for him and not to open the jar and make tea by herself.

"Yes." Xi Lan also guessed that the master might have lost his patience, and if the emperor didn't come, the master would really drink it all.

Kangxi stayed in Gonghua City until midnight, and finally returned to the Qianqing Palace under the stars. After the court session, he heard Yu Suisui invite him to drink tea. Kangxi rubbed his eyebrows and called his advisor, "Go and tell Hesheli Gege that I will go again tomorrow."

He is feeling a little sleepy now, so he should go to bed early today and go have tea with her tomorrow.

"Yes."

The consultant replied that Princess Hesheli of Changchun Palace was a very capable person and she was very accurate in controlling the emperor.

The Emperor missed the Empress very much today, but he had the ability to ask the Emperor to go and have tea with Princess Hesheli.

Early in the morning, Yu Suisui took a hoe and dug out the snow water that he had sealed underground. The jar was covered with layers of mud. Fortunately, there was a layer of oil paper between the jar and the mud. He took a small wooden hammer and gently knocked on the dried mud. When he opened the lid, he could smell a faint scent of plum blossoms.

She took a long spoon and scooped out a spoonful. There was no peculiar smell, only a faint floral fragrance. She thought she should distill it first, but then she thought that the snow water must be boiled. It seemed okay to drink it this way. After all, she really didn't have the tools for distillation in reality.

Yu Suisui found a set of white porcelain covered teacups with colorful plum blossom patterns. When Kangxi arrived, everything was ready. Even the snacks were already on the table, including mung bean cakes, pineapple cakes, jujube flower cakes, and lotus cakes, all of which were suitable for the Huangshan Yunwu tea that he was going to drink today.

"This is the first time I see you so anxious." Kangxi arrived at the pavilion of Changchun Palace and met Yu Suisui. He saw that she looked a little anxious. Given her usual impatient temper, it must be hard for her to wait for more than a month.

Yu Suisui: "Your Majesty, please take a seat." As he said this, he poured the boiling snow water on the stove beside him into the teapot and began to make tea.

Her technique was rough, and Kangxi frowned repeatedly, as if having tea with her was not a wise choice.

Yu Suisui didn't care, she just wanted to try the water. It is said that mountain spring water is the most suitable for making tea, followed by river water, and well water is last.

After a while, Kangxi hesitated for a while, but still picked up the teacup. The tea soup in the bowl was clear green and slightly yellow, with a faint cold fragrance and a mellow taste. Kangxi found it quite good. This tea could be brewed in any way.

"How is it, Your Majesty? This snow water tastes better than mountain spring water?" Yu Suisui felt that he could still do it this year. If he buried a few more jars, he could make tea for himself to kill time next year.

Kangxi nodded and said, "That's right. I will take the remaining half jar back to the Qianqing Palace to enjoy it." He also made arrangements for Yu Susui's half jar of snow water.

Yu Suisui:........

As an emperor, how can you eat and take things at the same time? This will damage your imperial dignity.

Never mind, it’s just half a jar of water. She will have more next year, but none this year. What a loss!

"Your Majesty, the temperature in the palace has been rising recently. When will Your Majesty go to Nanyuan to escape the heat?" Yu Suisui thought that he had to get on the list of people who would escape the heat this year.

She didn't go last year, nor the year before last. The year she entered the palace, Kangxi went there, but she didn't go. In the past few years, she has been as hot as a dog in the palace.

Kangxi asked: "Do you want to go?"

He hadn't decided when to go, but Hesheli wanted to go with him. There was no news of this in the palace, and Hesheli was probably thinking about going out of the palace to play all day long.

Yu Suisui nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She wanted to go, she really wanted to go. Although Nanyuan was just a large natural park with several palaces, the facilities inside were not as good as those of the imperial palace, and her last impression was just average, but she still wanted to go out of the palace for some fresh air.

"I want to go, so can the emperor take me with you?" Yu Suisui looked at Kangxi pitifully. She really wanted to go out.

Kangxi felt sorry for her and reached out to touch her face. "I will take you with me when I go to Nanyuan."

Poor guy, I don't know how long I thought before telling him. I was always bold in the past, but now I was testing him cautiously. He really didn't know how to talk to Hesheli.

He was busy recently and had not come to Changchun Palace. Thinking that she might be worried, he softened his heart a little and pulled Yu Suisui to sit on his lap, saying, "Don't worry, I remember you and will not forget you."

She was always so well-behaved, staying alone in Changchun Palace, waiting for him.

Yu Suisui was startled by this sudden painting style. What happened? What happened?

Kangxi is a little weird today!

Yu Suisui nestled quietly in Kangxi's arms. She thought that Kangxi was probably going crazy again. Never mind, she was almost used to it. Kangxi went crazy every once in a while.

After falling asleep at night, Kangxi suddenly woke up in the early morning. He reached out and touched his side, and it was still there. He closed his eyes again, unable to fall asleep. He turned around and looked at Yu Suisui, but the room was dark and Kangxi could not see anyone through the layers of curtains.

He stretched out his hand and stroked Yu Suisui's face for a while. Fangyi was gone. Now that Hesheli was with him, he sometimes thought of his arrogance. He was always thinking about the future, but Fangyi was gone.

Kangxi closed his eyes again. This Hesheli had always been well-behaved and pitiful, so he should show more favor to her in the future.

So when Yu Sui woke up, he received a bunch of rewards from Kangxi, including food, clothes, accessories and toys.

After Kangxi went crazy, he became a pretty good person!

-

Time passed like flowing water, and things went on like this for the 16th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.

August 22nd.

Yu Sui was conferred the title of Concubine Xi and moved from the back hall of Changchun Palace to the main hall. Her living area became larger again. This time, the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were better than before.

He decorated the main hall of Changchun Palace according to his own preferences and welcomed Kangxi in his twenties.

"Hail, Your Majesty." Yu Suisui bowed slightly. She was curious why Kangxi did not go to Concubine An or Concubine Jing, since those were girls from the families of ministers whom he needed to use.

Kangxi held out his hand to help Yu Suisui up, "Get up, it's Chongjiu, go and pack your things, I'll take you to climb the mountain."

Kangxi was a little exhausted by the recent political affairs and decided to find a day to relax.

"Yes." Yu Suisui nodded, turned and went into the dormitory, changed out of the cheongsam that was inconvenient to move in, and thought about the red-colored pleated skirt that she had asked the embroidery room to make. She wore a Xiangye-colored straight-collared double-breasted short shirt as her top, and a pea green long jacket with butterfly-flower pattern on the outside.

The hair was also let down and simply tied into a bun with a jade hairpin and fixed at the back of the head, and finally reinforced with a gold comb inlaid with emeralds.

In just a quarter of an hour, Yu Sui had packed up and followed Kangxi to the imperial farm on the outskirts of Beijing to climb the mountain.

The mountains and forests were all red. Kangxi dragged the exhausted Yu Suisui and stood on a stone by the roadside to rest, panting.

Mountain climbing is a physical activity. She has not exercised for a long time over the years, and her physical fitness has declined rapidly.

"Have you rested enough?" Kangxi crossed his arms across his chest, looking a little impatient. He stared at Yu Suisui who was squatting on the ground and gasping for breath. Her health was too poor.

Yu Sui waved her hands and replied weakly, "No." After walking on the rugged mountain road for more than two hours, she was now like a tired dead dog.

Kangxi shifted his gaze and looked at the autumn forest. His brows slightly furrowed and he sighed in his heart. It’s nothing. She is just a woman.

"Then rest for a while."

"Ah."

Yu Suisui complained in her heart, wondering why she didn't think of bringing a small stool. If all else failed, a cushion would do. Glancing at the stone in front of her, Yu Suisui reached out to touch it, but there was nothing in her hand, so she just sat down.

He also called Kangxi to sit down and rest for a while.

The advisors followed quickly behind with food boxes in their hands. When they saw Kangxi sitting down, they hurried forward, took out the snacks from the boxes and placed them on the ground.

Sweat beads appeared on his forehead. The emperor was in a bad mood today, and the guards behind him could only follow from a distance. The emperor pulled Concubine Xi and ran forward. His old bones were almost falling apart.

Xi Lan was not in a much better condition. Her back was soaked with sweat. She was carrying two bottles of water. The emperor's aura was so strong today that she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

After taking a break, Kangxi took Yu Suisui to continue climbing the mountain. When they returned to Changchun Palace at night, there were seven or eight big blisters on her feet.

What kind of fate is this for her!

Ji Liang carefully pricked the blisters for Yu Suisui and applied ointment. Yu Suisui's eyelids felt as heavy as if they were a thousand pounds. He held on with the last slit, climbed onto the bed, fell asleep, and fell into a deep sleep.

A few days later, Kangxi turned over Yu Suisui's name card, and she went to Hongde Hall again after several years.

Sitting in the west room, Yu Suisui had nothing to do. Kangxi was busy, and she didn't want to read, so she could only lie on the window and look at the courtyard outside.

The branches were already bare at this moment. A cool breeze blew by, and Yu Suisui shivered.

"Your Highness, you can't go in there!" The panicked voice of the palace maid broke the silence of the Hongde Hall.

The little prince Yinreng, who was now over three years old, ran into the Hongde Hall with his hands behind his back, and stood in front of Yu Suisui, pretending to be an adult. He raised his head and chin, and asked in a baby voice, "Are you Hesheli?"

Biyun said that Concubine Xi in the palace was an old acquaintance of the Empress Dowager. He had never seen the real Empress Dowager, and the one in the painting was not realistic either. Today, he heard from the little palace maid that the Emperor had turned over the name card of Hesheli in Changchun Palace, so he planned to come and take a look.

Yu Suisui was supposed to pay his respects to the prince according to the rules, but seeing his chin pointing upwards, he reached out and poked his chubby face.

"I am Hesheli, who are you?" Yu Suisui pretended not to know him.

The little prince was serious, coughed, and said angrily, "I am the prince, how can you not recognize me!"

After humming twice, the little prince remembered his own affairs. He used his hands and feet to climb to the other side of the Arhat couch and asked, "Have you seen my mother? What does she look like?"
