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

Ziyuan put down the tray in her hand and brought out a sky-blue high-footed bowl with a plum blossom-shaped cheese in it. "Madam, please try it. This is newly made by the kitchen. They said that the recipe has been adjusted, and it tastes like a light plum blossom."

Concubine Zhao withdrew her hand, took the spoon, and took a bite. It tasted smooth and tender, with a faint fragrance in its mouth.

"Who made this? Reward." Concubine Zhao likes to eat sweet things, but she is afraid that they are too sweet and will make her gain weight. She has only been in the palace for more than a year, but she has already gained a lot of weight.

Ziyuan smiled, "It's Xiaosongzi. She loves to mess around with these foods. I'll go over and tell her about it later. She'll be happy to hear it." Xiaosongzi is not really called Xiaosongzi. Her name is Songxue. She is only thirteen this year and is a little girl.

She came in last February when the Ministry of Internal Affairs was selecting palace maids. She was young, small, and had no strength, and was often scolded by her aunt. When the empress passed by the imperial garden, she saw Xiao Songzi being scolded by her aunt, and because she felt sorry for her, she asked for her.

Now she is staying in the small kitchen. In the words of Xiangru, the queen hopes that she will eat more so that she can grow stronger.

Concubine Zhao smiled and finished the whole bowl of cheese. "I remember that she has grown taller. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs was distributing the allowances, there was pink material. She likes that color. You can choose two pieces for her and ask the embroiderer to help make a few clothes for her."

Songxue was a greedy little girl who hung around in the kitchen all day long, so I just sent her over there.

Xiangru was holding an exquisitely embroidered purse in her hand. It had a bright yellow base and silvery-white dragon patterns on it, which looked lifelike.

"My Lady, shall we send this purse to the Emperor?"

Concubine Zhao took a look and said, "Send it later. The emperor is busy now, so let's not disturb him." Let's wait and see. Now that Wan Liuha has gone up, the Empress Dowager will definitely have to speed up the process. Otherwise, if the emperor returns to his old ways after a while, the Empress Dowager's kindness will be in vain.

Xiangru put the exquisite purse away and placed it in a brocade box beside her. "My queen, I heard that Princess Tong from the Tongjia family is also going to enter the palace."

There has been news coming from the emperor's uncle's family that a princess from the Tonggiya clan is going to enter the palace.

However, Tong Gege, who was about the same age as the deceased queen, did not enter the palace but married someone else instead.

Ten years earlier, when the Empress Dowager was selecting a princess, this princess from the Tonggiya clan was not of age and therefore could not take part in the selection.

Now Princess Tong has reached the age, but the emperor no longer holds a beauty contest.

Concubine Zhao held her cat, leaned on the couch, and combed the cat's fur. "She will definitely come to the palace. The Emperor's two uncles in Tong Jia's family are military generals. Isn't it military generals that the Emperor needs most now? She will definitely come in."

Just like her, her sister failed to be chosen as the queen and married to Mongolia. But after the queen passed away the year before last, she also entered the palace in February of the fourteenth year.

Now, in the first month of the fifteenth year, this princess from the Tonggiya clan will soon enter the palace.

Just as the emperor wanted to make use of the Niuhuru clan, he will definitely make use of the Tonggiya clan.

Xiangru was a little worried when he heard this, "But this is the case, Madam, if Tong Gege enters the palace, she is the emperor's cousin, and the relationship is different."

This cousin, it actually has a little other meaning.

"Meow meow~"

The lion cat felt a little comfortable with Zhao Fei's touch, so it turned over its belly and meowed at her.

"Aren't our Niuhulu family related to the emperor? Isn't Li Gege also related to the emperor? There are too many people in this palace who are related to the emperor. There is no need for us to care about it." What is there to care about? Concubine Zhao felt that she should just live her own life well.

Her father told her all this when she first entered the palace, and he also called her uncles and others to come and tell her about the situation in the palace.

Niuhulu wanted a queen, but this queen could not be a fool.

"Your Majesty is right, but Princess Tong is closer to the Emperor. I have heard that Princess Tong is spoiled, and I am afraid that she will obey Your Majesty after entering the palace." Xiangrui was worried that Princess Tong would make trouble for Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao: "You're already worried about these things before you even enter the palace. But these things can't be solved by worrying. Don't even think about doing anything. This palace is still ruled by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. If you do anything, I can't protect you."

The last sentence was said by Concubine Zhao specifically for Xiangru to hear. It is possible for the palace to prepare for a rainy day, but it cannot be overdone.

The Empress Dowager is a person of great means and decisive character. If she really wants to deal with someone, who is she? She is just a pawn in their hands.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never do anything wrong in private." Xiangru would certainly not do anything wrong. She wanted to help Your Majesty, not hold her back.

Concubine Zhao held the cat and said, "Make another gourd-shaped pendant for Dougao. It must be made of gold." Dougao was so well-behaved that Concubine Zhao bent down and kissed Dougao's cat head.

She raised this lion cat because she felt bored after entering the palace. After raising it, she no longer felt bored.

Xiangru agreed and did it immediately.

After a while, after returning from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiangrui told Concubine Zhao what he had just heard.

"Your Majesty, Wan Liuha is now a princess, and is said to be arranged to live in the Changchun Palace."

This status is really not low. The current positions are queen, concubine, wife, concubine, and princess.

These maids who once served the emperor are now just maids.

Wan Liuha had been in the palace for only a month, but she had already reached the rank of princess.

"Didn't the Empress Dowager tell Concubine Ma Jia that she would be promoted to Concubine Ma Jia at the end of this month?" Concubine Zhao suddenly remembered that when she paid her respects to the Empress Dowager before, she said that she would promote Concubine Ma Jia.

She also had to prepare a gift to send over.

Xiangru: "That's true, but the Empress Dowager only said it verbally, so we can't be sure. If the Empress Dowager has forgotten, we can't say for sure." Concubine Ma Jia was delicate and beautiful, an extremely beautiful woman, and the emperor especially doted on her.

Ma Jia, the young wife, had a bad temper because of the emperor's favor. She would look up to the sky several times when she saw the empress.

Especially in the first two months, when the empress had just entered the palace and Concubine Ma Jia had to help raise the Crown Prince because of the emperor's order, they were really arrogant.

"You can only be outspoken in front of me, but if you continue to behave like this outside of this door, I'll send you home and marry someone else!"

"No! My queen, I don't want to go home and get married! I will be careful in the future!" Xiangru begged for mercy. She just remembered the arrogant look of Ma Jia, the young lady, who looked at their queen and was very perfunctory in paying respects and etiquette.

After all, their queen is now the only concubine in the palace.

Concubine Zhao glanced at her and said, "If you behave like this again, I will ask Ziyuan to tear your mouth apart."

Silly girl, you can't say anything you want in this palace. Her rules disappeared as soon as she returned to Chuxiu Palace.

At this time, Yu Suisui was talking to Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, I don't like this. This dress is so green that it makes me look like a scallion." Yu Suisui pointed at the dress on the tray. She didn't expect that at this time, there could be such pure green, and it was bright green at that.

When she put on this dress, she looked like a glowing onion in green.

Kangxi thought the color was quite good. It was newly supplied from Jiangning. It was a fresh green color and looked fresh and natural when worn on the body.
