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

Time passed quickly and the crown prince was deposed for the second time. After that, Kangxi almost never returned to the palace except during the New Year holidays. What was the reason?

The Crown Prince, whom he had personally raised and then deposed, was now imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, leading a life that was completely different from before. Although he asked Wei Zhu to inquire about his life from time to time, he did not try to improve his life.

I hate and complain, but I am also thinking about it.

The court is now in a white-hot state, with the Fourth Prince versus the Fourteenth Prince, and Kangxi favors one over the other at different times.

When the brothers were facing each other, Concubine De was worried about her younger son, but she didn't dare to make things difficult for her elder son. Kangxi's move scared Concubine De away.

Yu Suisui looked at the Fourth Master's situation. Outside, Nian Gengyao was against the Fourteenth Master, and inside, Longkodo was a close minister of Kangxi. The Eighth Prince and the others had long lost Kangxi's heart. No matter how you look at it, the Fourth Master had a greater chance of winning.

It’s just that Kangxi doesn’t like one person to dominate, so the Fourteenth Prince is just a tool to balance things out.

After the Empress Dowager passed away, Kangxi fell seriously ill again. Yu Suisui thought it was a stroke, but Kangxi was in such a miserable condition that his right hand could hardly hold a pen. Now he used his left hand to review memorials.

It was only at this time that Yu Suisui learned that Kangxi could still write with his left hand.

Kangxi's feet were so swollen that he couldn't wear shoes, and they were oozing yellowish pus with a hint of blood. Yu Sui once saw an imperial physician clean his feet, and after returning home he couldn't even eat.

However, the older Kangxi got, the more time he spent looking for Yu Suisui. Most of the time, even when he had difficulty walking, he still had to ask people to carry her over.

Yu Sui looked at the old emperor in his twilight years and thought only that it was almost time, her mission would be completed.

The older Kangxi got, the worse his health became. Now he always had soup and medicine in his hand, and he had to have a bowl of it right after every meal.

"The peach blossoms in the suburbs of Beijing are about to bloom. I'm afraid I can't accompany you to see them this year." Kangxi moved the fingers of his right hand hanging on his legs.

He has so much strength now that he can't even hold a pen. Last year, we could still go and see the garden together, but this year, I'm afraid he can't even get out of the garden.

Yu Suisui didn't care. She had been watching the peach blossoms in Huangzhuang, outside Beijing, for decades, so this year wouldn't be a big deal. "Your Majesty, don't talk about this. You should take care of your health now. Don't stay up late to read memorials. You should rest well and take care of yourself."

She thought to herself: If you get sick, I will rush to Qingxi Bookstore overnight and stay there. She is already sixty years old now, how can she stay up late? Isn't her body a body?

"I know, you too, should eat less cakes and pastries that are difficult to digest." Now she is the only one left, and the women in the palace are hoping that he will die soon so that they can become the empress dowager or leave the palace as soon as possible to live with their sons.

Yu Suisui pretended not to hear the last sentence. Life was already so difficult, what was wrong with eating something delicious? It was not like she ate every day, only once every few days.

Now when Kangxi looks at Yu Suisui, he feels at ease. For so many years, she is truly the only person who has been with him wholeheartedly. As the world changes and time passes, she is the only one who has always been by his side.

With the affairs of the eldest and third sons, the old ladies like Huifei and Rongfei basically stay in the temple and never come out. Yifei doesn't have much ambition, but her two sons were not born well, the fifth son was too honest, and the ninth son was too thoughtful.

As for Concubine De, she gave birth to two good sons, but she was too partial as a mother. It was she who suggested giving the fourth son to her cousin, and now she hates the fourth son.

My cousin has raised a good son, but he needs to be looked at again.

If he had been more cautious, this wouldn't have happened.

In recent years, Kangxi seldom invited concubines to serve him. Most of the time, he was in his own Qingxi Study, or went to Yu Suisui's place in the evening to have dinner with her and then chat.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 61st year of Kangxi's reign. Kangxi aged rapidly, his eyes became cloudy, his voice became pale and weak, and sometimes he would pause for a long time after speaking a sentence.

In October, suddenly one day, Kangxi pulled Yu Suisui up for a late-night chat after a long absence.

"My time is coming to an end. I plan to make you my queen. When I am gone, you will stay in this garden and retire."

These words scared Yu Sui so much that he lost all his sleepiness. This was totally unexpected!

Kangxi moved very slowly. He patted Yu Suisui's hand with his left hand and held it again, his heart full of reluctance. His body was already at the end of its strength. "After I'm gone, you will live in the garden. Don't be too sad. Take care of yourself above all else." He would walk slowly and wait for her downstairs.

He couldn't remember when this Hesheli became a part of him. She wanted everything to be good for him. He was afraid that when the new emperor ascended the throne, things would no longer be the same as before.

He left Changchun Garden to her and asked Wei Zhu and the others to stay here. It might be a little worse in the future, but compared to the palace, she was afraid that she would not be used to the Cining Palace.

Then he thought of his own arrangements, "I chose the fourth brother, he can suppress his younger brothers, the fourteenth brother and the eighth brother have always had a good relationship, and the fourth brother is his brother from the same mother, so he can also save their lives in the future."

He coughed as he spoke, and it seemed as if his lungs were about to burst. Yu Suisui quickly leaned over to fetch the tea on the bedside table, and then calmed Kangxi down, "Drink some water and talk less."

She was puzzled as to why Kangxi wanted her to become the Fourth Master's biological mother and the Empress Dowager. Her original plan was to wait for Kangxi's death and then return to the Time and Space Bureau after ten days or half a month.

Kangxi took a sip of tea and paused for a while. "While I still have energy today, I will say everything I want to say."

"You should live your own life in the garden in the future. Don't care about the fourth prince's harem, and don't interfere in the affairs of the fourth prince and Concubine De. They are mother and son. You should stay away from them." After he is gone in the future, Hesheli is a simple person, so how can she compare with Concubine De and others.

He really regretted it now. He didn't ask her to give birth to a child or raise one. After he passed away, she would still have to depend on others for her life.

"I have placed the edict behind the plaque of 'Zhengda Guangming'. When I am gone, you ask someone to take it down." This was the guarantee he left for Hesheli.

Yu Suisui is in a heavy mood now. It seems that the original owner's mission can definitely be completed, but she feels a little uncomfortable.

For more than fifty years, she has been carrying out her mission and advancing according to her own ideas. At first, she wanted to rely on physical strength, but later found that it was not possible, so she immediately turned to friendship. Later, she relied on the companionship of these decades, trying to infiltrate Kangxi's life bit by bit.

But in the end, when Kangxi really did what she wanted, she felt a little sour.

But it's just for a while, let her be sad for a while today, she will be fine tomorrow.

"It's late, go to bed." Kangxi lay down, and Yu Suisui followed suit. She heard Kangxi mumbling again, "Baocheng, I raised him from the palm of my hand. He was the most filial when he was young. My son Baocheng, how come he has become like this?"

When Yu Suisui turned his head, he saw the tears rolling down the corners of Kangxi's eyes and sinking into the pillow. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was truly a child that Kangxi raised as his own son.

"Yilmu, I have a favor to ask of you. Please keep an eye on that little bastard for me from now on." Kangxi said this with difficulty. His heaving chest was filled with the father-son love between him and the Crown Prince over the years.

He was just an Ama once.

Yu Sui hesitated for a long time, and when Kangxi thought she was asleep, she whispered, "Okay." Just think of it as repaying Kangxi's last kindness, but it may not last long.

She won't stay in this world for long.

After Kangxi said this, the imperial edict to enthrone her as empress came down the next day. After that, Kangxi's health deteriorated rapidly and he fainted several times. Yu Suisui stayed by his side until November 13, when the bell in the Forbidden City rang nine times again.

After Yu Sui finished attending to Kangxi's funeral, she moved to Changchun Garden and continued to live in her own courtyard.

They were accompanied by Concubine Yi and the Crown Prince, who had lived in seclusion in Xian'an Palace for ten years. His hair was now gray and he looked several years older than Yu Sui.

Defei is now the empress dowager, but she is not her most beloved son. When she learned that her eldest son sent her most beloved child to guard the imperial mausoleum, she could no longer suppress her anger. She called the Fourth Master over and scolded him severely.

Concubine Yi is also worried now, but the big thing has been decided. She has already made the worst plan for Yinzhen's ending, and now she still can't bring him back.

Yu Sui lived in the garden for more than a year. During this period, Empress Dowager Defei passed away. A few days later, Xi Lan also passed away. Yu Sui planned to go back.

"Empress Xi, do you think Father will forgive me?" The Crown Prince ran up to Yu Suisui drunkenly, sat on the ground, and hugged her legs.

The palace servants behind him hurried forward to help him up, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince just drank too much."

Yu Suisui waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you guys can go out first." She knew that the Crown Prince was not drunk, and his eyes were clear.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince placed his head on Yu Sui's knees and said, "Empress Xi, I was really wrong." It was only after his father passed away that he remembered his childhood. At that time, he was truly the child that his father held in the palm of his hand.

What he did.

Yu Suisui pulled out a plain handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Wipe your tears." She didn't want to say anything. This matter could not be explained clearly.

Not everything can be black and white, only right or wrong.

Under the imperial power, everyone is forced to move forward. In this position, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never had a way to retreat.

Power is their eternal pursuit.

Not long after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Yu Suisui to cry, Yu Suisui chose a snowy day and returned to the Time and Space Bureau.

A few days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to see Kangxi.

As for Concubine Yi, Yu Suisui finally asked someone to tell the Fourth Master to let her go to the Fifth Prince's mansion to live out her retirement.

After more than fifty years, Yu Sui still couldn't completely consider herself as an outsider. Before she came back, she was still thinking that she would never be able to chat with Concubine Yi again.
