Yu Sui has been here for nine years. She feels that she is suffering all the time because of the original owner's wish to grow old together. She really thinks this is a curse on her.

She would live at least another forty-two years!

Flowers bloom and fall, Yu Suisui watches the women in the palace come and go, batch after batch of young and beautiful women, they walk into this deep palace with hope, but how many women wither and decay here.

Before Yu Suisui became bored to the point of going crazy, Kangxi took her to Nanyuan and also to the outskirts of Beijing. In the midsummer of July, the vast green fields and emerald green mountains rescued Yu Suisui from her own world.

Before he returned to the palace, he heard that Dai Jia had given birth to the seventh prince Yinyou, who had a foot disease. Kangxi was furious and immediately wanted to move Dai Jia out of the harem and live in the first residence of the Qianxi Wusuo.

He also wanted to adopt his son with foot disease to Prince Chunjing Longxi as his heir. Yu Suisui also watched a good show by Kangxi.

After he was adopted, you didn't even know he was your son. You're trying to cover up your mistake.

After a few days, I returned to Yongshou Palace.

Yu Suisui was holding a plate of grapes and lying in a rocking chair on the right porch to enjoy the cool air. She really wanted to speed up the process and go straight to the death of Kangxi.

"Master, the Imperial Concubine and Concubine De are here." Xi Lan reminded. It was unknown why the Imperial Concubine came with Concubine De.

Yu Suisui raised her eyebrows and said, "Please ask them to go to the flower hall. I'll be there right away." She looked down at herself and realized that the clothes she was wearing were not suitable for meeting guests.

In the flower hall, tea, fruits, snacks and desserts were placed on the table. Concubine Tong and Concubine De were a little anxious. They looked at the door several times, but did not see Yu Suisui come in.

As they were anxiously waiting, Yu Suisui changed his clothes and came over. After they greeted each other, they sat down one after another.

As soon as she sat down, Concubine Tong spoke, "Sister, I know this is not a good thing, but I still want to ask you for a favor. Can you please move Dai Jia to your palace?"

There was no other way. She had already begged her cousin, but Dai Jia had been moved out of the harem, and the Seventh Prince was born with a disability. Dai Jia was born in her palace, and she already had the Fourth Prince. Her cousin would not agree to raise another prince.

Yu Suisui wondered what the relationship was between Dai Jia and her, and why she was moved to her palace. "My Lady, I have no personal relationship with Dai Jia. What you said is a bit abrupt."

When Depin heard this, she knew that Yu Suisui was going to refuse. She bit her lip, thinking about how Dai Jia had a good relationship with her. "Sister Hesheli, we are reluctant to do this. If Dai Jia really moves out of the harem, then the Queen Nine will really be gone. She is not even 20 years old yet. Please have pity on her, sister."

"You have a good relationship with Dai Jia, and you can also live in Yonghe Palace. Why don't you take Dai Jia over?" Yu Suisui asked.

No matter how sincere Depin's tone was, this had nothing to do with her. She had no intention of saving the people. She was already stuck in this mess, so why would she care about others?

Depin turned pale at this and was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the ground. Imperial Concubine Tong quickly explained, "Sister, it's not that we don't want to, it's that Depin and I already have princes." What she meant was that Kangxi would not want them to have two sons, and the hidden meaning was that you could also take this opportunity to have a son.

Yu Suisui had no plans to have children, and was very straightforward, "Your Majesty, I have no plans to have children, nor do I plan to live with anyone, so please don't try to persuade me with the following words." She thought that moving to the West Residence would not be a bad idea, and if Kangxi was willing, she was willing to live in Changchun Garden for the next few decades.

After saying this, Concubine Tong never mentioned it again. She only said with a slight apology, "It's my fault, don't take it to heart, sister." She still wanted to think of other ways. If there was really no way to change it, then she could only take care of Dai Jia and the Seventh Prince privately.

Yu Sui politely sent them away. Since Concubine De and Imperial Concubine Tong had such a good relationship, would the Fourth Master still be the unfavored one when he grew up?

But in a moment, Yu Sui put this question out of his mind.

Why think about these things? You might as well go eat two skewers of lamb.

After this little episode, it was the end of the 20th year of Kangxi's reign, and Yu Sui was promoted to Xifei, ranking second.

This surprised Yu Suisui. She thought that even if she was promoted, she would only be a tail-end. After all, Concubine Hui had an eldest son, Concubine Rong was an old friend of Kangxi and had children, and Concubine Yi and Concubine De were both favored and had children.

It seems that Kangxi may have a better impression of her, so her mission may not fail.

Now Imperial Noble Consort Tong is in charge of the palace, and Imperial Noble Consort Niu and Imperial Consort Hui and Imperial Consort Rong are assisting in the management. All she has to do is continue to be a stay-at-home girl in Yongshou Palace.

Juechan gave birth to the eighth prince, and she didn't get any benefit from the promotion this time. Yu Suisui guessed that her relationship with Tonggiya might not be as close as before.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Xi Lan led all the palace servants in Yongshou Palace to kowtow to her in congratulations. Yu Suisui had no choice but to feel sorry for his wallet and gave everyone three extra months' salary according to the rules.

Ji Liang was the happiest one. With the promotion of her master to the position of consort, the monthly allowance sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs would contain a lot more things, and the meals in the small kitchen would be greatly improved in the future.

Yu Sui lived like an invisible person in the harem until July of the 28th year of Kangxi's reign, when Imperial Noble Consort Tong Jia became seriously ill and she had to follow Kangxi back to the Forbidden City from Changchun Garden.

When I saw Tong Jia, her face was as pale as dirt and she was very skinny. The white dress she wore was hanging on her body. If there was a gust of wind, it might blow her away.

"You're here, sit down." Tong Jia's voice was hoarse, and before she finished speaking, a palace maid brought her medicine.

Yu Suisui followed the instructions and sat on the embroidered cushion brought by the palace maid. She was silent for a while, not knowing what to say. She actually didn't think she would really see the seriously ill Tong Jia, she just came here according to the rules.

Tong Jia drank half a bowl of medicine, handed it to the maid beside her, and asked her to leave. Only Yu Suisui was left in the room. She asked, "Sister, how do you think I compare to the Empress?"

She could not get over the fact that her cousin did not make her the queen. She had been looking forward to becoming her cousin's wife since she was a child, but she had been waiting in the palace for more than ten years and her cousin had never said that he wanted her to be the queen. He even tried to fool her by saying that he was unlucky in marrying.

Yu Suisui sighed in his heart. He used to think that Nianhulu wanted to compete with Hesheli, and now Tonggiya also wanted to compete with Hesheli. Do they want to be the queen or do they want Kangxi's heart?

"You are you and she is she, there is nothing to compare." Yu Suisui looked into Tong Jia's eyes, which used to be full of brightness, but now are like dead water about to dry up, without any trace of their former glory.

This palace is really a torture.

Tong Jia coughed twice and covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief. Yu Suisui could faintly see the red marks. Tong Jia pinched the silk handkerchief in her palm and asked stubbornly, "Sister, tell me the truth!"

She was unwilling to accept this, she really was unwilling to accept this. Her child died not long after being born. The child of Queen Yuan was now blessed by the emperor and would be the future king. Why did God treat her so badly? He gave her hope, but kept her imprisoned in the same place, visible but untouchable.

Recalling what she had heard before, that the queen gave birth to a fully grown male fetus shortly before her death, she wanted to die with a clear conscience.

Her cousin wouldn't tell her, so she could only ask the old empress indirectly. But then she remembered that Hesheli had been favored by the emperor for many years, but there had never been any good news from her, not a single bit. She had read the history of imperial court and looked through the records of the Imperial Hospital, but there was nothing.

Yu Suisui didn't know what to say to Tong Jiashi. Even if they didn't have a deep friendship over the years, they were still people she had known for many years. She felt melancholy in her heart and just said, "If you have an idea, why bother? It's just to confirm it from me."

Are they really competing with Empress Hesheli? Of course not. What they want is that special thing about Kangxi. They want to be his real wife. But Kangxi cares about the country and the world, not the love affair you care about.

Even if there was, it was not the right time. You wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but from the very beginning, it was different. You were a slave and he was the master.

You cannot get equal feelings if you are in an unequal position.

Yu Suisui watched the little spark in Tong Jia's eyes die out, she just didn't want to believe it.

She came to see her more than ten years ago, and she thought Tong Jia had thought it through at that time. In the following years, Tong Jia handled the palace affairs very properly and comprehensively. She thought she had changed her direction, but in fact she was still the cat or dog that hoped her master would love her.

Sadly.

Yu Sui sat for a while and then went back. She knew that she was just here to complete the mission and must not become a member of this place.

It’s not unheard of before that someone falls in love with a colleague who is the target of a task, but it just doesn’t have a happy ending.

Life is a sea of ​​suffering, and you can only cross it by yourself.

Seeing her master's melancholy face, Xi Lan advised, "Master, don't worry. The Imperial Concubine is blessed with great fortune and the Emperor's protection, so she will be fine."

She also saw the look on the Imperial Concubine's face, and remembered that many years ago when Zi Pu was still alive, she had advised her master to have a child. Now thinking back, she was really out of her mind at that time.

There were two queens, an imperial concubine and a concubine, but only the concubine who had been seriously ill for many years gave birth to a prince. What really happened was really known only by the emperor.

Most of the other princes were born to bondservants. It’s not that Xilan looked down on this, but there were also noble ladies from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia in the harem. How come they couldn’t have children?

Yu Suisui said nothing. Watching a person wither away is actually a sad thing.
