Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 219: Chronicles of Yongzheng's Harem 17

Concubine Qi: "I noticed that Concubine Jing looked haggard. Could it be that the Emperor didn't go to Bitong Academy yesterday and Concubine Jing couldn't sleep all night?"

Jiayue was speechless. Which eye of hers made her look so haggard? Her complexion was clearly rosy and she looked well and healthy.

Jiayue asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Does Concubine Qi need to see an imperial physician?"

Concubine Qi was really confused now: "What do you mean?"

Jiayue smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing. I heard that Madam Qifei has excellent embroidery skills. I thought that Madam Qifei did too much embroidery and hurt her eyes, so she couldn't see my rosy face clearly."

This translates to: You have eyesight problems, but I don't look haggard.

Concubine Qi widened her eyes. It had been a long time since she met someone who dared to confront her head-on. Where was her status as the mother of the eldest prince?

Concubine Qi: "Are you saying that I have an eye disease?"

Jiayue showed a worried look on her face: "My queen, I am just worried about you, please don't misunderstand me. Besides, even if you are unhappy, I still want to tell you, don't be afraid to see a doctor if you are ill!"

Jiayue's words made Concubine Qi's face darken, and the people around her couldn't help but look sideways.

Sarcastically saying that Concubine Qi is ill! This is too brave.

Judging from the results, Concubine Qi seemed to be a loser, but at the beginning, she really had a good hand.

She was the first favored concubine in the Qiandi Palace, and the relationship between her and Yinzhen was incomparable to that of others. In addition, her son, the Third Prince, was nominally the eldest son of the emperor and was also the only child raised by the emperor.

Strictly speaking, the princes after the Fourth Prince are still at risk of dying young.

Even though Concubine Nian was very harsh towards Concubine Qi, she and Concubine Qi kept to themselves.

Concubine Qi glared at her, and Jiayue shivered with fear, and said innocently: "Did I say something wrong, Madam Concubine Qi? If I said something wrong, please tell me, and I will correct it."

This is more rogue. It is the first time that Concubine Qi encounters a "rogue" opponent like Jiayue. For a moment, she finds it difficult to deal with her.

Because Jiayue's words were all full of "good intentions", and it was Concubine Qi who started it first.

Concubine Qi snorted coldly: "You are quite eloquent."

Jiayue smiled and said, "Not as good as the queen."

Concubine Qi looked at her coldly and said no more.

It's hard to explain.

Jiayue was too quiet in the past, so she was not inferior to Concubine Qi in her interactions with him, which made everyone have a new understanding of Jiayue.

Of course, Jiayue did it on purpose.

Yinzhen's three consecutive days of favor might not be a big deal in other harems, but in Yinzhen's harem, this treatment had some signs of being a favored concubine.

Concubine Xi may need to be more cautious, but we can't always be cautious about everything just to avoid offending others. Concubine Qi is obviously a prickly person. If we let her control us, we will have to endure her anger in the future.

And since Jiayue is determined to win favor, she needs to make her attitude clear and not take advantage of her good nature.

The Queen had heard about the back and forth between Jiayue and Concubine Qi in the inner room, and then said: "I didn't expect that this Concubine Jing also has a temper. It seems that the Emperor's three consecutive visits to her have given her the confidence."

"It's only been three days. With the Imperial Concubine in front, she can't be considered favored. If I were to say, Jingpin is too impatient."

The Queen shook her head: "It's not that Jingpin is impatient. If she lets Qifei bully her without resistance, the Emperor won't like her character. It depends on whether Jingpin can take advantage of the situation."

"Your Majesty seems to be quite optimistic about Concubine Jing?"

"She gave birth to the first prince after the emperor ascended the throne, and she is still so healthy. This is a talent. I never look down on people with talent."

After that, the queen stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go. It's time for me to leave."

"The Queen is here——"

Everyone stood up and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and long life."

The queen sat down, with the same unchanging smile on her face: "Everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, Queen."

Everyone stood up and then sat down.

Then the Queen asked the concubines with children as usual. When asking Concubine Qi, the Queen said, "The Third Prince is not young anymore. I heard that Concubine Qi intends to arrange a palace maid to teach him about human affairs. Has it been planned?"

Concubine Qi did not expect the Queen to ask this question, but it was indeed within the scope of the Queen's job.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. There is already some progress. You don't need to worry about it anymore."

The Queen's expression remained unchanged: "It's good that there are some clues. The maid who teaches people must be carefully selected. Not only must her family background be clean, but her character must also be good. Otherwise, when the legitimate wife enters the house, there will be unrest in the harem. How can the third prince handle the affairs of the former court with peace of mind when he comes to the court to work in the future, and how can he help the emperor solve his problems?"

After hearing what the Queen said, Concubine Qi's face turned much uglier.

Although Concubine Qi was not a palace maid who taught people, she entered Yinzhen's backyard at the same time as Song. When she was favored, she did cause unrest in the harem for a while.

The Queen was hinting at something; this was a satire on her!

Concubine Qi said stiffly: "Thank you for your advice, Queen. I will make proper arrangements."

The queen continued to smile: "Well, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. After all, I am the Third Prince's legitimate mother."

"Thank you for your kindness, Queen. I would like to thank you for your concern on behalf of Third Prince."

The Queen dealt a heavy blow to Concubine Qi, but was much gentler towards Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu. Then came Jiayue. The Queen seemed very gentle towards the infant Hongzhao.

"The Sixth Prince is still young, and I have heard that you have taken good care of him. When the day is right, don't forget to bring him out so that I can take a closer look at him."

Jiayue: "Thank you for your concern, Queen. When the weather is cooler, I will bring the Sixth Prince to pay him respects to the Queen."

It was not surprising at all that Jiayue met Yubin when she came out of the natural painting.

"Why is Sister Yubin here? This doesn't seem to be the way back to her place!"

Yupin smiled and said, "I have been in Yuanmingyuan for a long time, but I have never visited you. I want to visit you at Bitong Academy. I wonder if you would welcome me?"

Jiayue didn’t quite understand what Yubin was thinking, but since she had said that, it didn’t seem like there was any room for her to refuse.

"Sis, if you have such good intentions, I will welcome it naturally."

Then the two groups joined together and went to Bitong Academy.

After arriving at the place and sitting down, Yupin smiled and said, "This Bitong Academy is indeed as spacious and cool as the rumors say. When the emperor was still a prince, he often came here to study. It is a place that the emperor loves to come to. The emperor arranged Bitong Academy for his sister to live in. He really loves his sister."

"Almost all the courtyards in the Old Summer Palace were carefully designed by the emperor. The emperor loved the Bitong Academy and never neglected other courtyards."

"Sister is really cautious. By the way, why don't you see Sixth Prince?"

"At this hour, Hong Zhao is probably sleeping!"

At this moment, the wet nurse came in and reported: "My queen, the Sixth Prince has woken up and is crying for me!"

When Jiayue heard about the child, a sincere smile appeared on her face: "Hurry and bring Hongzhao over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yupin smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I just mentioned the Sixth Prince and now I can meet him."

Jiayue replied: "Sister, you have Hong Zhou, why are you still thinking about your sister's Hong Zhao?"
