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

The Queen would not take the blame for this. She did everything according to the rules. If Concubine Chun had not been trying to protect her pregnancy, she would have called Concubine Chun over for questioning as well.

Qianlong stiffened his neck, stole a glance at the empress, and then said to Qianlong in a clear and loud voice: "Father, if Jiafei didn't do it, why would the Empress Dowager ask Jiafei to come over? The Empress Dowager has admitted it, but Jiafei is still quibbling here. She is trying to kill my mother, Father, please make the decision for us mother and son!"

The Queen didn't want to hear that. She didn't admit it, and she immediately explained, "Third Prince, don't talk nonsense. I asked Concubine Jia to come here to question her according to the rules, not to accuse her. Your mother's matter has nothing to do with Concubine Jia."

"Empress Mother, how can you protect Concubine Jia!" The Third Prince could not accept this. He thought that the Queen was just trying to excuse Concubine Jia by saying this.

When Qianlong heard the Third Prince quarreling with the Queen, his frown was so tight that it could kill two mosquitoes. He shouted, "How dare you talk to your mother! Where have your manners gone?"

Qianlong did not expect that the Third Prince would speak to the Queen in this way. After all, the Queen was the Third Prince's biological mother.

The Third Prince lowered his head and said nothing. The Queen favored Concubine Jia and her son and treated his mother harshly.

Qianlong was so angry seeing him like this that his cold gaze fell on the Third Prince. The Third Prince was a little afraid of Qianlong to begin with, so he shuddered when he was looked at like this.

He moved his mouth a few times, but he couldn't open his mouth to say what he wanted to say.

The Fourth Prince was young, with four or five red marks on his chubby, round face, and two lines of tears. He pursed his lips and said, "Father Emperor, Third Brother not only hits me, but also wants to hit Mother!" He cried as he spoke, and the tears fell one by one like raindrops.

Concubine Jia also knelt on the ground, holding Qianlong's other leg, sobbing, "Your Majesty, you have to help me! I am going to die unjustly. The Third Prince rushed in and shouted for killing. After all, I am the Third Prince's stepmother. He does this without taking you seriously at all."

The more Concubine Jia spoke, the sadder she became. She sobbed and continued, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is so disrespectful to his elders. Although I am not a proper elder, I am still your concubine.

I have done nothing, but I am treated like this. I don’t know how I will be wronged in the future.”

As Concubine Jia was talking, her logic completely ran out. She just wanted Qianlong to clear her of the grievances and then punish the Third Prince.

The Queen looked at Concubine Jia who was kneeling on the ground crying, closed her eyes and relaxed for a moment. The place was a mess now.

"You get up first." Qianlong reached out and pulled Concubine Jia. Her current look, not to mention her disheveled hair and lack of manners, but it did not look good.

Half of the makeup on her face was also gone, which looked weird.

Concubine Jia took Qianlong's hand and stood up, standing halfway with a wronged look on her face.

The Queen saw that Qianlong was a little impatient, and said to Concubine Jia, "Concubine Jia, go to the back to wash up and change your clothes before coming over." The Emperor must be unhappy to see Concubine Jia in this state.

The emperor cares most about his face. Concubine Jia's clothes are a little messy and her hair is a little loose, which is indeed a little indecent.

Concubine Jia suddenly came to her senses. She was so busy making a complaint that she forgot about her appearance.

She immediately followed the palace maid to the bedroom at the back to change her clothes.

When Qianlong saw that Concubine Jia had left, he asked someone to carry the Fourth Prince downstairs to change his clothes. As for the Third Prince, he was just left kneeling there.

The Third Prince was extremely unhappy. Even at this time, the Emperor still favored Concubine Jia and her son.

"Do you have any evidence?" Qianlong's voice was cold. The Third Prince is already in his teens, but he is still like a child.

The Third Prince raised his head and said, "Father, the Emperor, the Empress has called Concubine Jia over. The person in the garden doesn't know that my mother almost had a miscarriage because of Concubine Jia! What evidence do you need? Isn't this a fact known to everyone?"

Speaking of this, the Third Prince felt that the Emperor did not love them at all, he only liked Concubine Jia and her son.

The more I thought about it, the more pitiful I felt about myself and my mother. I couldn't hold back my tears, which piled up in my eyes one by one.

Qianlong snorted coldly twice, "You have no evidence, and you arbitrarily convict Concubine Jia based on only some specious rumors. What? You are the Dali Temple and can judge the case?" He was very displeased with the Third Prince's reckless attitude and inability to distinguish right from wrong.

The Third Prince felt particularly aggrieved when hearing this, and compared himself to Dou E, trying hard to hold back tears, "Father, why do we need evidence for what Concubine Jia did? Everyone in this garden knows that it was Concubine Jia who harmed my mother. I came here to argue with Concubine Jia, but that's not right. As a child, I should support my mother."

The Queen stood aside, and it seemed that what she had just said had nothing to do with Concubine Jia. The Third Prince didn't hear her at all.

Emperor Qianlong didn't want to listen to the third prince's repetitive words, and said directly: "This was instigated by Wu, who is close to your mother." Then he gave Li Yu a look.

Li Yu immediately took out the testimony from his sleeve and handed it to the third prince.

This Third Prince is too impulsive. If Concubine Jia really did it, there would be something to say, but the key is that Concubine Jia didn't do it. This Third Prince is just being unreasonable.

The Third Prince recognized all the words when he looked at them, but it was impossible. Aunt Wu was so kind to them, how could she order someone to harm his mother?

"Father Emperor, is this wrong?" The Third Prince's eyes were red, and he looked at the Queen again, "Madam Emperor, did you check it wrong?"

The Queen was so angry at what the Third Prince said that she pointed at him and said, "Third Prince, there are some things you can't say. This is what the Ministry of Punishment found out. Take a good look at it yourself. These things have nothing to do with Concubine Jia."

"Then why do you want to question Concubine Jia?" The Third Prince didn't believe that this had nothing to do with Concubine Jia.

The Queen: "I am here to question Concubine Jia, not to convict her. Do you think I can't stand concubines?"

The Queen was speechless. She had already told Concubine Jia that it was just an interrogation and there was no solid evidence. The Third Prince could also directly characterize the matter. The Queen didn't even want to curse anyone anymore.

This third prince is really stupid.

The Third Prince: "That's not what I meant, but the Empress Dowager is looking for Concubine Jia to question her at this time. People in the garden say that Concubine Jia harmed my mother, and that's true. Could it be that the Empress Dowager is looking for Concubine Jia to reminisce about the past?"

The Third Prince didn't want to hear this. He thought that the Queen must disliked his mother. His mother had been punished by the Queen before, and this was just an excuse for Concubine Jia.

The queen never thought that the Third Prince was not only stupid and vicious, but also wanted to drag her into it when he saw that she had done something wrong, and was ready to push the blame on her.

"Third Prince, what's going on with the rumors in the garden? Why don't you go ask Aunt Wu yourself and see what she tells you." These rumors were just spread by Aunt Wu to divert attention. Unexpectedly, everyone was just talking about it, and the Third Prince was really involved.
