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

"My queen, please wake up first. You can go back to sleep after you come back from paying your respects." Yun Ling gently helped her master up and asked her to sit up.

It's almost dawn now. It will be too late if you don't get up now.

Yun Zhi wrung out a soft handkerchief, then quickly spread it open and gently placed it on Yu Suisui's face. A warmth spread across his face. Yu Suisui opened his eyes and yawned, "Help me up."

With Yun Ling's support, Yu Suisui struggled to get up from the bed. When she stood in the clean room, Yun Zhi suddenly asked, "Madam, are you going to the Queen Mother today?"

The Empress was personally selected by the Empress Dowager, who particularly liked her. In the past, when she went to the palace to pay respects on the first and fifteenth days of each month, she would always ask the concubine to bring the Empress along. I don’t know what the rules are in the palace?

Yu Suisui paused while brushing her teeth and frowned slightly. The original owner had a very good relationship with the Queen Mother, so she had to go sit with the Queen Mother this time, so she couldn't think of taking a nap this morning.

"Go, go find a headband to keep yourself clean." Yu Suisui spit out the mouthwash. She missed toothpaste a little.

It can be seen that the development and progress of this technology is very necessary.

Yun Zhi received the order and hurried to look in the boxes. They had just moved in and nothing was in order yet, so she couldn't waste time.

After Yu Sui finished washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table waiting for Yun Ling to change her clothes and dress her up.

"Your Majesty, this is your first time paying respects. Would you like to wear the gold filigree headdress that the Emperor gave you?" Yun Ling was unsure. The late Emperor had passed away not long ago, and no one in the palace dared to wear red or green. But this was also the first time that Your Majesty met the Queen and the others as a concubine.

Yu Suisui opened the drawer of the dressing table and selected a set of simple white jade jewelry. She looked at her face in the mirror, her face as white as a lotus and her black hair. She might have guessed why the empress dowager liked her. Looking at her plump beauty with round and smooth skin, in this harem that liked weak and graceful girls, a woman like her had only one label - good-looking.

But the original owner had been serving Qianlong for almost ten years, and the Empress Dowager had never induced her to give birth, which was quite interesting.

"Choose plain clothes. We'll be visiting the Queen Mother later, so don't make any mistakes." The Queen Mother's husband just died, so she might be happy, but she certainly wouldn't show it on the surface.

Yun Ling was quick and efficient and finished the work quickly. Yu Suisui took a sedan chair to meet Gao Qingning, and then went to Chengqian Palace opposite to pay respects to the empress.

When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, they saw elegantly dressed ladies in the main hall, with nearly twenty concubines waiting there to pay their respects to the empress.

The ones she had counted originally were those who had been officially canonized, and the rest were all official daughters or concubines.

According to the rules, Yu Suisui and Gao Qingning sat on the long-backed huanghuali chair with auspicious patterns on the left. There were only four main seats in the palace except the queen, so only half of the eight chairs were occupied.

Not long after they sat down, the queen came out. After the concubines paid their respects to the queen, they took their seats again.

The people in the Queen's palace were always quick and clever. They replaced the hot tea and snacks with new ones. However, only Concubine Jia, who was below the rank of noble lady, was given an embroidered cushion and sat behind Concubine Chun.

The future favorite concubine, Concubine Jia, is now a colleague of Concubine Chun who lives with her in Zhongcui Palace and makes a living under the rule of Concubine Chun.

Yu Suisui picked up the teacup and took this opportunity to look at his colleagues. They were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own characteristics.

The Queen was graceful and elegant, always with a gentle and dignified smile on her face. Concubine Xian's eyes were full of heroism and she looked determined, which was the appearance that men of this era could not tolerate the most. It reminded me of the Concubine Xian in historical novels.

This man must be a strong and resolute person!

she likes!

Looking at Concubine Chun who served below Empress Xian, her purity and agility are not enough when compared to the heroic spirit of Empress Xian, just like dodder compared to the pine and cypress on the cliff.

Yu Suisui retracted her gaze and took a few sips of tea. The queen was still as gentle as before, "All those above the rank of concubine, follow me to the Cining Palace to pay respects to the queen dowager. The rest of you, please go back to the palace first."

The Queen did not want to restrict them, but there were many trivial matters in the palace right now, and a funeral had just ended. If something like running into the Emperor in the Imperial Garden happened, the Emperor would not be angry, and she, the Queen, would also have a reputation for not being strict with her subordinates.

The rest of the palace concubines left as instructed, leaving only the four of them in the palace. Yu Suisui sat quietly and obediently on the chair, waiting for the Queen's next order.

To get from Chengqian Palace to Cining Palace, one has to go around the Imperial Garden. The Empress Dowager's palace is much closer to the West Six Palaces where she lives.

When they arrived at the Cining Palace, the empress dowager took the queen's hand and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then talked about the arrangements in the harem and the matters of the concubines. Yu Suisui and Gao Qingning pretended to be mute as usual.

As long as the Empress Dowager did not mention them by name, the two of them would never speak. After the Empress had finished telling everything, the Empress Dowager let the Empress leave, leaving Yu Susui sitting in the hall. To be honest, she had no experience of getting along with the mother-in-law.

The Queen Mother laughed, "Now that you are a concubine, your temperament has calmed down. Qiuyu, come and see if this girl has become more stable."

Yu Sui recalled the original owner's memory in her mind, and she immediately grinned, revealing a few big white teeth, "Queen Mother, please stop teasing me."

The empress dowager picked up an orange from a plate on the table, threw it in an arc, and threw it into Yu Sui's hand, "Peel an orange for me." I thought she was really steady, but it turned out that she was just pretending for show.

Yu Suisui took the orange, asked someone to bring water, and washed his hands before peeling the orange. The Queen Mother had a mild mysophobia, and everything she ate had to be clean. If you peeled an orange for her, she would not eat it without washing her hands.

Seeing her well-behaved and cute, the Queen Mother thought of her good friend, Concubine Gao, and felt a little disappointed. "Look at you, I told you not to play with that Gao, but you didn't listen. Now that Gao is a concubine, and you are just a concubine. She just thought you were naive and easy to fool, so she coaxed you into currying favor with the Emperor."

She hated Gao's sickly and aloof appearance the most. She was just like the imperial concubine that year, both of them looked like they would not live long.

Yu Suisui smiled and said, "I know the Queen Mother cares about me, but Sister Gao didn't do anything. If Sister Gao does something bad to me in the future, I will be the first to complain to the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager did not like Gao Qingning, and Yu Suisui had a more vivid impression of him when the Empress Dowager deliberately ignored Gao Qingning.

She picked off the veins on the orange one by one before bringing the orange back to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother snorted twice and glared at her. Forget it, she was just a stubborn person. Gao was so clever, how could a fool like her see clearly?

She had suffered a lot from Nian's faults before, so she finally figured it out.

"I have called your aunt over to manage the Yongshou Palace for you in the future."

Yu Suisui stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."

The Queen Mother ate a few orange slices, then picked up an orange and threw it over, "Peel it and eat it yourself. Be smarter in the future and don't let anyone fool you." This girl was simple-minded and stubborn. The Queen Mother had no way to deal with her, so she had to ask someone to help keep an eye on her.

The emperor said the same thing, saying that now that she has been given a high position, there will be no way to promote her in the future. So does that mean that Concubine Gao will not be promoted in the future?

This really doesn't give face to her, the Empress Dowager.

Yu Sui had lunch at the Empress Dowager's place, and then returned to Yongshou Palace with the gifts given by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was so kind.

She felt that the original owner was not like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to her, but rather like the empress dowager's own daughter.

Aunt Ma, who came back with them, became the head aunt of Yongshou Palace. The first thing she did after taking office was to call the eunuchs, palace maids and servants of Yongshou Palace to the main hall, and formulated a series of rules and regulations to make sure that the Yongshou Palace must be made into an iron bucket and be watertight as required by the Queen Mother.

Yu Suisui waved her hands and directly asked Aunt Ma to be the second in command of Yongshou Palace. Of course, she must be the first in command.
