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

At this time, the Queen, together with the Empress Dowager, dealt with the concubines and wives of the royal family, as well as the ladies of honor and the imperial edicts.

Yu Suisui and Concubine Gao would try to avoid it if possible. They don't want to be in the spotlight at all when it comes to such things.

Over the years, Concubine Gao has known the Queen's bottom line. When the Emperor favors her, she dares not go too far.

Now I will never cross the Queen's bottom line.

So he ate and drank with Yu Suisui, and when they talked about them, he would raise his glass from a distance and drink from her.

It was almost midnight after the banquet and Yu Suisui was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.

But today she can enjoy the dragon bed all alone, which is really cause for celebration.

Everyone knows that this dragon bed is not big, it is just enough for one person to sleep on it, but it would be very crowded if there is one more person.

On the second day of the New Year, Yu Sui met Wei's biological mother, Yang Jia.

As soon as Yang Jia came in, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Fortunately, Yu Lu acted quickly and did not really ask Yang Jia to kneel down.

"My queen, my daughter~" Yang Jia's voice was filled with tears. She really didn't expect that her daughter would have such good fortune.

This joy came out of the blue. When they found out, they didn't dare sleep for several days and nights, fearing that it was just a dream.

They also dreamed of their daughters becoming concubines and their own family prospering as well, but it was still hard to believe when it really happened.

In just less than a year, her daughter became a noble concubine, and she was given a title and a title.

This was something they had never thought of. They thought it was just something that could improve their lives, but now it seemed that they were just a small group of nobles in the capital.

They also knew that most of the nobles and dignitaries looked down on them, but they didn't think it was a big deal.

Compared to the hardships they endured during the previous emperor's reign, their current life is infinitely better.

Your Majesty is truly the best emperor in the world.

Yu Suisui quickly helped Yang Jia up and said, "Mother, sit down and talk." Then he handed the handkerchief to Yang Jia.

"Don't cry, wipe your tears first, and be happy during the New Year."

"Happy, happy. How can I not be happy? My daughter has made it big and is so capable. I can't wait to be happy. This is..." Yang Jia thought for a moment, "This is tears of joy."

Yang Jia held Yu Suisui's hand and her voice trembled when she spoke. She was supposed to see her daughter last time, but she was so excited that she couldn't sleep and had a high fever when she woke up the next day.

Since she is sick, she naturally cannot enter the palace, so as to avoid infecting her mother with the disease.

Yu Suisui let Yang Jia hold his hand and told her about his life in the palace.

After hearing this, Yang Jia said, "The emperor is a good man. You must do your best to serve him in the future." Then she let go of Yu Suisui's hand, knelt down in the direction of the Yangxin Palace, and kowtowed three times.

The emperor is their family's benefactor. Yang Jia herself knows very well what their life was like in the past and what their life is like now.

Yu Suisui was a little surprised to see Yang Jia kowtow in the direction of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. It was completely unexpected.

Yu Lu hurriedly helped Yang Jia up and advised, "Madam, get up first." Isn't it because your mother became a noble concubine that the emperor gave the Wei family a promotion and awarded the title? Shouldn't you thank your mother first? Why did you thank the emperor first?

After Yang Jia got up, she took Yu Suisui's hand and said, "Your brother is not in a clear mind. I have asked people to beat him with a stick. Beat him hard, without mercy and without leniency." De Xin was young and didn't know much.

But what could a few slaps on the hand do? She took the initiative to take De Xin to the yard and beat him hard with twenty boards.

It just scabbed over a few days ago, and now he says it's still a little itchy.

Yu Suisui did not expect Yang Jiashi to have this attitude, and asked: "Is Dexin okay?" He originally thought that it might be just those few people who made hand gestures, and thought that he should remember it for a long time.

I really didn't expect that Yang Jia would beat him.

"He just suffered some physical pain, it's not a big deal. He is young and has no rules. The Prince is the emperor's younger brother, and he is a young boy who doesn't know the difference between the important and the unimportant. He is very reckless." Yang Jia patted Yu Sui's hand again.

"It is De Xin who has caused you trouble. From now on, mother will take good care of him and not let him cause any trouble for you."

My daughter has finally achieved such a success, and our family has gained so much wealth because of it. Naturally, we should cherish her and not make any mistakes.

Yu Suisui smiled and said, "That's not true, mother. He was young and reckless. He has learned his lesson. I'm sure he won't dare to do it again in the future." Wei Dexin was beaten, and after feeling the pain, he knew that there are some things he shouldn't do and some words he shouldn't say.

It would be useful for him to keep in mind the phrase "be careful in what you say and do".

Qianlong was not the kind of person who loved everyone in his house. He seemed generous now, but if one day Qianlong no longer wanted to be so generous, it would only take a word to take it back.

"He dare not, he dare not, he definitely won't dare. Mother will watch him. If he does it again in the future, I will personally kick him out of the house." Yang Jia promised.

Yang Jia asked about Yu Sui's life in the palace, "Just be happy in the palace, don't worry about home, everything is fine at home now."

Yu Suisui nodded, and asked someone to bring Yang Jiashi's favorite snacks and tea. The two talked affectionately for another morning, and when they left, Yang Jiashi took two little palace maids with her, holding Yu Suisui's New Year gifts for the Wei family.

After seeing Yang Jia off, Yu Suisui and Yu Lu returned to the Yangxin Palace without stopping.

But now in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Qianlong was meeting guests, so Yu Suisui went directly to Qianlong's Sanxiting.

She had taken away half of the treasures in the Sanxiting Hall, but she didn't expect Qianlong to replenish them so quickly.

Concubine Gao was also meeting Madam Gao over there.

Mrs. Gao had something on her mind, and said to Concubine Gao, "Why don't you write a letter to your father and ask him to relent and ask your sister to come back." The youngest daughter has been in Jiangnan for such a long time, and she wondered how her health is doing.

Being at a relative's house is never as comfortable as being at one's own home. I originally thought I could accept sending her to Jiangnan for a year or two, but now that it's only the New Year, I want to bring her back.

Concubine Gao couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Mother, you are confused! Why do you want to bring her back at this time? If she is still thinking about the boy from the Han family, you will have no place to cry after she comes back."

Didn't she say a few days ago that she would go on a hunger strike to ask her father to bring him back to the Han family? Now she wants to be brought back. Wouldn't it be convenient for her to go on a hunger strike in front of her family?

Madam Gao sighed and said worriedly, "You also know your sister's temper. If she makes trouble at a relative's house, what will happen if her health is affected? Can you wait for her to come back and marry someone with a son? It's better to stay in the Han family. At least your father can still control the Han family."

Thinking about it now, she still regretted sending him to Jiangnan. It was too far away and it was not easy to see him.

Concubine Gao took a deep breath. She suspected that Mrs. Gao’s brain had been stuck in the door recently.

"Mother, you said that father can control the Han family. If my sister marries him, it won't be father who controls the Han family. Instead, the Han family will control my sister and our family." Even a blind man can see what the Han family is planning.

Mrs. Gao: "How dare he! Your father is a minister in the court, and is valued by the emperor. And you are the emperor's concubine, how dare the Han family!" This is impossible.

Concubine Gao couldn't help it, her temper flared up, and her voice became louder, "Mother, who told you this? What's in your mind? Is the Gao family a royal family? Is father's position too stable? Are you going to drag our Gao family down to be a stepping stone for the Han family?"

Madam Gao was frightened by Concubine Gao's voice, and her mind immediately became clearer. She said weakly, "Didn't your second aunt say that it's inconvenient to live under someone else's roof. Your sister has been spoiled since she was a child. I don't know if she can bear this hardship."

The relatives who went to Jiangnan were not important people. They were just in-laws from the previous generation. The relationship was very old, and I didn’t know whether they would give the younger daughter the first place to eat.

Concubine Gao took a deep breath and explained, "Mother, our family is the most promising one in the clan. We will be honored guests when we go to our relatives' houses. What are you worrying about here? You should worry about whether your sister will cause trouble to others."

"I'm just worried. What your second aunt said scares me. You know your sister has always loved to enjoy herself. This is Jiangnan, a small city, not as turbulent as the capital. I'm just afraid that she can't bear it." Mrs. Gao has only three children of her own. The two older ones are by her side, and they are living well.

Her little daughter was confused and did something wrong, but once it was over, she couldn't help but worry that she was not living well.

Concubine Gao: "Whether she can bear it or not, she has to wait two years to completely forget about the boy from the Han family before coming back! But mother, don't listen to Second Aunt's nonsense. They are brothers born from the same womb. Father and Second Uncle are not close, what are you talking to Second Aunt about?"

According to instigation, if something goes wrong in the future, my second uncle's family will just be the laughing stock.

"Child, how can you speak ill of your elders!" Madam Gao patted Concubine Gao's hand, "I know, but please don't say this in front of the Emperor and others. It will leave a bad impression on you." The woman was virtuous and kind. She was a concubine, so how could she speak ill of her elders behind their backs.

Concubine Gao held back the curse words she wanted to say, and only said, "Mother, just remember this, you should have less contact with Second Aunt. What's the bad life of living under someone else's roof? Second Aunt has never experienced it. She is just telling you lies."

If the Gao family fell into decline and she was no longer a noble concubine, her sister might not have a good life if she went to live with her relatives. But now their family is in its heyday, and although the emperor no longer favors her as much as before, she still occupies a place in the harem.

Now that she has become close to the Empress Dowager and has a good relationship with Concubine Ling, she is still the person that other concubines in the harem dare not offend.

Madam Gao nodded and warned, "Hey, you are in the palace, your father and I can't help you much, you have to be careful about your affairs. I heard that Concubine Chun has another heir, you should try harder and try to have one too. No matter if it's a prince or a princess, you should at least have a child."

I don’t know what’s wrong with my daughter’s health. I don’t know if it’s a condition she had when she was a child, or if it’s something that only happened after she moved to the palace or the palace. My daughter is over 30 years old now. If she doesn’t have a child, it will become increasingly difficult for her to have one in the future.

Concubine Gao no longer had any expectations of having children. She didn't have that expectation when she was in love with the Queen before, and it only happened occasionally now. It was even more impossible.

"I know, don't worry, mother." Let everything take its course. If she is lucky enough to have a child, that would be great.

If not, she will accept her fate.

Mrs. Gao talked to Concubine Gao for a long time, telling her to take good care of herself and not to worry about home.

Concubine Gao agreed to all the requests and sent Madam Gao away. She felt very tired.

The Spring Festival passed quickly amidst various meetings.

The Empress Dowager also took some time off to meet Yu Suisui and Concubine Gao. Some of her own family members also came to pay their respects, so they simply gathered together and played mahjong.

Aunt Gao, who usually accompanied us in the past, was now busying herself in the back.

The one who came to pay her respects was the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law. She had been here before during the Chinese New Year and now she came because of her granddaughter.

"Empress Dowager, I'm sorry to trouble you. There are two girls of marriageable age in our family. Each one is more opinionated than the other. After we asked to be exempted from the selection, people from our family have come to propose marriage one after another. It's hard to choose with so many people. Now, please help us make a selection." The Empress Dowager's sister-in-law also spoke directly.

It's not like she had never thought about inviting her two granddaughters into the palace before, but she gave up the idea after the Empress Dowager asked her to play cards with Concubine Ling and Concubine Gao one day.

This Imperial Concubine Ling is like a snow lotus on a mountain, pure and lonely; this Imperial Concubine Gao is like a peony among flowers, beautiful and elegant; what about her two granddaughters, they have skinny bodies and ordinary looks, and in this palace, they are not even as pretty as the senior palace maids around the Empress Dowager.

Yu Sui originally planned to grow small white flowers, but she didn't expect that after a year of growing them, the small white flowers would grow into the pure and elegant snow lotus.

She said that with her looks, she couldn't go for the pretty girl route now and could only go for the cool and aloof route.

But she is not the kind of person who can be aloof.

The Queen Mother glanced at her sister-in-law, then at the cards in her hand and said, "Draw up a list of people, write down their family situations, and bring it to me." It was a good thing for the Queen Mother that the people in this family would not participate in the selection.

This means that she does not have to deal with the emperor at home, nor does she have to worry about her family being unhappy or the emperor being dissatisfied with her.

The Empress Dowager's sister-in-law immediately agreed, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will go back and select carefully, and then send the list to you for your review." It would definitely be great to have the Empress Dowager review it.

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, preparing to win her first card, but before she could push her card, a young eunuch ran in and said that the Emperor wanted to ask the Imperial Concubine to go to the Baohua Palace immediately.
