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

After Kangxi went crazy looking for her to reminisce about the past, his mood somehow improved, and he lingered around his former beloved concubine for many days, meeting this one today and rewarding that one tomorrow.

Yu Suisui got a lot of rare things for free, but she really didn't like the set of colorful bowls and plates with fish and algae patterns and chrysanthemum petals. She thought they were a bit too gaudy, so she put them aside.

"Master, look, this is the steamed bun made for you by Zipu herself." Xi Lan was carrying a food box, which contained the Sunniefen white cake that she had made herself when she went to Zipu's house. This was something they were tired of eating when they were young.

At that time, the master was still a princess, and the Empress Dowager had not yet allowed the palaces to have small kitchens and two meals a day. At that time, there were only her and Zi Pu. When the master accompanied the emperor to bed, one of them followed the master while the other stayed in the palace. They had no time to line up to fetch meals, so they often secretly took a few steamed buns from Hongde Hall the next day after the master had slept and stuffed them into their sleeves. That was their breakfast.

At that time, the princesses were poor and could not afford any expensive snacks. They often bought two plates of steamed buns from the imperial kitchen. Most of the time, it was the Sunnie'e white cake. This was their late snack and they relied on it to get through day after day.

Later, when they had a small kitchen, they never ate this again. This time when she went to visit Zipu, she missed the taste again.

Yu Suisui asked someone to bring hot water to wash his hands, then picked up a piece of cake. It had a faint milky aroma and tasted pretty good. "Xi Lan, you eat too."

After eating two pieces, Yu Suisui asked again, "How is Zipu now? Is her illness cured?" Xi Lan's purpose of leaving Changchun Garden was to see Zipu. The two of them had always had a good relationship and had been in contact for decades.

Xi Lan said, "Master, don't worry. Zi Pu is just old. The window was not closed tightly at night and he got caught in the wind. He is fine now."

"That's good." Yu Suisui and Zi Pu did not spend as much time as Xi Lan. She gave Xi Lan health pills. Xi Lan is now healthy and strong, but she thinks that she is an elderly person now.

Xi Lan added, "Master, the eldest daughter of Ji Liang's family married the youngest son of Zi Pu's family. The girl they gave birth to now looks exactly like Ji Liang. Her round eyes made me think she was Ji Liang's girl." Speaking of Ji Liang, she still remembered that the girl was worried that the master would send her back during the first few days after she came here, so she stayed in the small tea room every day to make milk tea for the master.

In a blink of an eye, many years have passed and Jiliang has become a grandmother.

"Really? Then next time you go, bring some nice jewelry and toys for the little girl." Yu Suisui likes the milk tea made by Ji Liang the most. The milk tea she drinks now is made with the recipe left by Ji Liang.

Xi Lan couldn't stop talking about the past, "Master, do you still remember Ma Baozhu? He is now living in the home of his adopted son, with seven or eight grandchildren, and living a happy life. This time he went to Zi Pu's house and asked me to greet you." Ma Baozhu was originally the eunuch in charge of the kitchen in Changchun Palace. He followed the master for more than 20 years. When he got old, the master gave him money to buy a house and some land, asking him to be a rich man.

He adopted a son from his deceased brother from the next room, raised him for a few years, and spent money to find him a job. Now he lives a carefree and happy life.

"I'm afraid he can't even lift a pot now." Yu Suisui also remembered him, but he was already in his fifties when he left the palace. He had been tortured when he was young, and his health had never been very good.

Xi Lan smiled, "Isn't it? Now his hair and eyebrows are all white. His son is filial and treats him well. He has someone to rely on in his old age." As long as the master is alive, Ma Baozhu's life will not be difficult. The master is the support of people like them.

Zi Pu also said that she relied on her master, and her master's visits every few years, so the husband who had made a desperate bet on her back then had no intention of taking a concubine. As for the things happening in the restaurant, brothel, and theater, she turned a blind eye and pretended to know nothing.

The same goes for Jiliang and the others. As long as their master is around, their lives will be easy.

Yu Suisui did not comment on their lives. They lived their own lives, whether good or bad was their own choice.

Following Xi Lan in reminiscing about the past, Yu Sui looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she was no longer young. She raised her hand to touch the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. She was now a real middle-aged woman!

"Sister?" Concubine Yi came to Yu Suisui's courtyard holding a little girl.

Yu Suisui didn't care about being sad. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Concubine Yi. The little girl in her arms was wearing a red cloak. Her little face was round and white, and her eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Concubine Yi. "Is this your granddaughter?"

Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Yes, this is the second princess of Yinzhen's family, born to Zhaojia. His wife brought her to pay her respects a few days ago. I thought she looked like me, so I kept her by my side. This little girl is well-behaved and smart, and I like her." This is the only granddaughter who looks somewhat like her.

That Zhaojia was born so beautiful.

The little girl was not shy and stared at her with her dark eyes. After a while, she stretched out her hands for her to hold. Yu Suisui had only held cats in all these years, and her rolling eyes looked a bit like her lost kitten. She couldn't help herself and took her hands. The little girl hugged her neck and gave her a kiss on the face.

It was wet, with the little girl's soft touch, and she held it and weighed it.

"Whose little princess is this?" When Kangxi came in, he saw Yu Suisui holding a baby girl in her arms and Concubine Yi standing beside her.

This question was addressed to Concubine Yi, "May your Majesty be blessed with good health. This is the second princess from Yinzhen's family."

Kangxi stared at her for a few seconds. The little girl was brave and also looked at Kangxi, then stretched out her hands for Kangxi to hold her.

Concubine Yi was startled and quickly hugged the little girl, "This is the Emperor Mafa, come and pay your respects to the Emperor Mafa."

The little girl didn't say anything, she just looked at Kangxi with curiosity in her eyes.

"This little girl looks somewhat like you." Kangxi felt that the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar to Concubine Yi's. No wonder Concubine Yi liked her so much.

Concubine Yi originally came to show off her little granddaughter to Yu Suisui, but she ran into Kangxi. Before she could say a few words, she took the little girl back.

"I see that you like her. Do you want to bring her home to raise?" Kangxi asked.

Yu Sui rolled his eyes at him, "Your Majesty is always giving bad advice. This is Nalanzhu's sweetheart, but she insisted on staying with me to take care of her when I brought her home. Does Your Majesty think that I'm having an easy life?"

According to her understanding, Concubine Yi must have come here to show off that she has a granddaughter who is as beautiful as her.

Kangxi asked sincerely. He was afraid that Yu Sui's life was too boring and raising a child would help relieve her boredom. If he had known earlier, he would not have listened to her and given her a child to raise. Now she would not be without a child to take care of her.
