Yu Suisui was very interested in the love-hate relationship between Concubine Gao and Wu Zaku, but he would not ask Concubine Gao about it. Such a thing would definitely not be a good memory for Concubine Gao.

Concubine Gao sighed twice and said, "I really hope that Wu Zaku will never come to the palace again." Sometimes, as the emperor's concubine, she is actually quite helpless.

She doesn't care about her own reputation, but the emperor's reputation cannot be blemish-free, so she has to be careful about many things.

Yu Suisui told the truth, "Unless she has committed a serious mistake or is going to see Buddha, she will still come to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Geng." Concubine Geng was Prince He's biological mother and Emperor Qianlong's adoptive mother. Given this relationship, as long as Prince He did not commit a serious crime like rebellion, no matter how Emperor Qianlong punished Prince He, he would not take his life.

As long as Prince Heqin is there, Prince Heqin's wife Wu Zaku must be there as well.

Of course, Concubine Gao also knew this, but she still had some unrealistic hopes.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Concubine Gao no longer had the desire to continue talking about this. Becoming the Prince's Wife was the calamity she had to go through in this life.

Yu Suisui immediately stopped talking about this topic. It seems that Wu Zaku is a person who hurts Concubine Gao in her heart.

After drinking two cups of milk tea, Concubine Gao chatted with Yu Sui about some random things, and then returned to her palace.

Gao Guifei's maid looked at Gao Guifei's expression and whispered, "I noticed that your Majesty and Ling Guifei's words are quite different. Is your Majesty unhappy?"

This made the imperial concubine's thoughts very strange and very different from theirs.

Take the wealthy businessman who disguised herself as a man for example. Concubine Ling admired her courage and wisdom, but if she were asked to say something, she would probably say that she did not observe the virtues of a woman and did not behave like a woman.

Concubine Gao held her head and hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm not unhappy, I just feel that this person's ideas are very different from others." Perhaps it was because her ideas were different from others that the emperor took it to heart.

But this is not important. Concubine Gao felt that there was something wrong with her idea. When she heard about this, the first thing she thought was that the rich businessman had done something wrong and should not have done this.

But Concubine Ling felt that she was being persecuted and had no choice.

Concubine Gao was now confused and couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

After the palace maid knew that Concubine Gao was not angry, she did not ask any more questions. She asked the small kitchen to prepare dinner for Concubine Gao and then went to do other things.

During dinner, Yu Suisui returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and sat opposite Qianlong at both sides of the table, with warm wine in the cups beside them.

In winter, it is advisable to drink alcohol to warm the body.

When Qianlong had almost finished his meal, he asked Yu Suisui, "What did Gao say to you today?" The two of them were whispering about something in the Yongshou Palace at the back, and she came back so late.

Yu Suisui could only simply repeat what Concubine Gao had said about the wealthy businessman.

Qianlong made a conclusion: "It is indeed heresy."

"Your Majesty, you are so arbitrary. If the rich businessman's family forced her to do this, she must have had no other choice," Yu Suisui defended.

Qianlong: "Even if she has no other choice, her behavior is unorthodox." Pretending to be a man and marrying a wife and concubines in order to avoid having her family property seized is absurd.

Hmm? Qianlong suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Suisui. She said this, probably agreeing with the rich businessman's approach.

"I see that you quite admire this wealthy businessman?" Qianlong said.

Yu Suisui nodded and admitted that he thought such a woman was brave. Apart from anything else, the fact that she could resist was very good.

Nowadays, we talk about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. She was able to break out of this framework, even if it meant pretending to be a man. This was already a very brave thing to do.

"Your Majesty, she is very brave. This woman has to support her own family business and at the same time face her relatives who are as fierce as wolves and tigers. She is very courageous and strategic." If such a woman lived in modern times, she might have achieved even better results.

Qianlong felt that what Yu Suisui said was true, but it still couldn't change the fact that such a woman's heart was too wild.

"A woman like her is not suitable for a family," said Qianlong.

Yu Suisui: Being suitable for a family is not a good word. She thinks being unsuitable for a family is a compliment. But she still can’t tell you the truth, Qianlong.

"She was forced into this situation. If it weren't for the fact that the male concubine had to be recognized and had to take her son with her, she might have lived like this for the rest of her life." Yu Suisui said.

If the biological father of the male concubine had not been a man of good family background and promising in his family, and had the same surname as the Empress Dowager, which could have been used to scare people, the affairs of this wealthy businessman might have been kept secret for a lifetime.

It's just that this matter was exposed and affected the wealthy businessman, but according to this person's character, even as a woman, she can now protect her family business and develop her own career.

But to increase the difficulty, you may need to go up a bit.

But maybe that's not necessarily the case. The concubine's family might be able to negotiate with her.

But the possibility of this is relatively small.

Qianlong had no intention of arguing with Yu Suisui. He just felt that Yu Suisui's ideas were a little different from those of ordinary people and most of the concubines in the palace, but he didn't want to correct this.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her." Qianlong said, "You said before that I arranged for someone to deal with the singing girl. Wu Shulai has already arranged it. The person went to Zhili. Her father's illness was also treated. It's nothing serious. I bought her a small courtyard there, and there is also a storefront in front. She started her own business selling cosmetics."

Yu Suisui: "That's good. I hope she will live a good life in the future." It's okay to run her own business. Since Qianlong has made arrangements, nothing should happen to her shop. After all, if something goes wrong, it would be a slap in Qianlong's face.

Qianlong: "Don't you want to thank me?" Seeing that Yu was playing dumb, Qianlong couldn't help himself.

I got everything done for her without even a word of thanks.

Yu Suisui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, all the people in this world are your subjects. You do something for your subjects and ask for their thanks. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Qianlong, like her, was good at pushing for more.

Qianlong stretched out his hand, waiting for Yu Suisui to put his hand in his palm, and said, "Just because you think I like you, you dare to fool me." There are so many people in the world, how can he possibly arrange for every one of them.

If Yu Sui hadn't said that, he would never have asked Wu Shu to do this.

Yu Suisui tilted his head, his eyes sparkling, "Didn't the emperor say he wanted to be a wise ruler? How could a wise ruler be so petty?"

Qianlong held Yu Suisui's hand, clasped their fingers together, and went to the corridor for a walk to help digest the food.

But before he had finished digesting the food, he heard that Concubine Chun had fainted and the imperial physician had been called over.
