An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Concubine Qi, I've told you, it's not that I don't want you to go, but according to the emperor's wishes, Concubine Duan's body is not in a good condition to take charge of things. You are one of the few Concubines Qi with rich experience in the palace. Letting you stay in the Forbidden City is also to take care of the remaining concubines!"

The Queen was a little surprised when Concubine Qi suddenly came to her house, but after learning her purpose, she was left with helplessness.

She didn't expect that Concubine Qi would be so upset about not being chosen, and even came to her.

After listening to the other party's tearful accusations and complaints, the queen had no choice but to try to list some reasons to comfort Concubine Qi.

"Miss!"

It would have been fine if the queen hadn't said this. As soon as she said this, Concubine Qi felt even more aggrieved. "Concubine Duan has been ill for many years, so she is not in good health. What about me? I am also ill! It's just that I didn't say anything in order not to worry Your Majesty!"

"Are you serious?"

The Queen looked at the plump figure of Concubine Qi and her rosy face, and could not tell at all that Concubine Qi was "ill" in any way.

"Yes!"

Concubine Qi didn't notice anything wrong, nor did she hear the doubt in the Queen's tone. Instead, she said very seriously, "I felt dizzy before. When it was serious, I felt my whole body shaking even when I picked up a pen. But in order not to disturb the Queen and not to make her worry, I gritted my teeth and endured it!"

"Oh, you mean to say that I asked you to copy the Buddhist scriptures, but you ended up copying the part about 'being ill'?"

After listening for a while, the Queen understood what Concubine Qi wanted to express, and immediately said calmly: "In that case, Concubine Qi, what you need is not to follow everyone to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, but to find an imperial physician to take a good look at you. Otherwise, just continue copying! Scriptures can calm people's hearts and calm their spirits, and it is also a merit. If you feel uncomfortable in Changchun Palace, then go to Baohua Palace to write!"

"what!"

Concubine Qi had never expected that her complaints would lead to such "punishment" from the Queen. Her eyes rolled back and she let out a short scream.

"Are you still pretending?" The Queen looked at Concubine Qi and asked.

"No, no, no, I'm not pretending..." Concubine Qi shook her head like a rattle, but clenched her teeth, refusing to admit that she was pretending to be sick.

Then, Concubine Qi's eyes rolled, and she suddenly thought of a solution, "Empress! I really can't bear to leave you! Moreover, think about it, my hope is Hongshi, and you are so good to Hongshi, he will be filial to you in the future. Now, Concubine Cao has taken Princess Wen Yi away, and even the unborn ones have gone with them. Let us mother and son stay in the Forbidden City, this..."

At the end of the conversation, Concubine Qi started to sob again.

In the final analysis, besides his own reluctance, staying in the Forbidden City would make the Third Prince lose both face and dignity, thus affecting his future.

"That's enough! Stop talking!"

The Queen was upset by Concubine Qi's crying, so she lowered her voice and said, "The list was made by the Emperor. You can't just go with others if you say you want to go. Please stop crying in front of me. As you said just now, I have watched Hongshi grow up. How can I not consider him?"

"What does the lady mean?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi stopped crying immediately, but stared at the Queen intently, hoping to hear the answer she wanted.

"I will do my best to fight for you. If it works, that would be the best. Otherwise, this is the only option. Do you understand?"

After hearing what Concubine Qi said, the Queen had some different thoughts in her mind. At this time, she had already made up her mind to let Concubine Qi "cut in line" successfully.

But after all, the Queen hasn't discussed it with the Emperor yet, so she certainly can't make a direct guarantee.

"Yes, yes, yes! I understand!"

Concubine Qi was not really stupid. Her "performance" was actually just to get the Queen to make a promise.

Now that the Queen has given in, Concubine Qi has achieved her goal and will naturally not continue to pester her.

"Your Highness, do you really want to bring this up with the Emperor for Concubine Qi?"

After Concubine Qi left, Jianqiu saw the Queen preparing to change her clothes, and she knew that her master was really going to the Yangxin Palace, and she immediately became worried.

"Although Concubine Qi is unreliable, her words do make sense. I am counting on the Third Prince now. If I leave him behind, my future will be uncertain!"

The queen felt helpless as well.

A long time ago, she had already set her sights on Concubine Qi, thinking that she was easy to control and blessed with a son, making her the perfect choice to become her "chess piece".

What a pity, besides being physically strong and growing taller every year, the Third Prince also inherited Concubine Qi's brain perfectly!

Not only was he not very good at studying, he also lacked the ability to read people's expressions or be eloquent. The emperor was also helpless about his son.

Under such circumstances, the queen also became uneasy.

So many years have passed since she was selected, and she has put in a lot of effort and money.

If we were to replace someone now, not to mention that the selection of the person would be a big problem, it would also mean that all the hard work the Queen has put in over the years would be wasted.

"Forget it, let's continue to watch."

The queen sighed, then took Jianqiu to the Yangxin Palace and found the emperor.

……

"Why is the queen here?"

When Yongzheng saw that the empress came to see him, he was stunned for a moment and asked her why she came.

It is definitely impossible for the Queen to be like Concubine Hua and the others, who came to visit just because they missed her.

"Your Majesty, I didn't want to disturb you at this time, but... Concubine Qi came to Jingren Palace to look for me not long ago."

The Queen didn't waste any words and directly brought up Concubine Qi's grievances, telling Yongzheng that Concubine Qi did not want to be kept in the Forbidden City.

"Concubine Qi wants to go too?"

After listening to the Queen's retelling, Yongzheng frowned slightly.

According to his original plan, Concubine Qi was not taken into consideration at all.

This trip to the Old Summer Palace was mainly to escape the summer heat. The Empress Dowager was his biological mother and she was old. Whether it was for filial piety or to take care of the Empress Dowager's health, there was nothing wrong in bringing her there.

The only ones left were An Lingrong, who was pregnant. The heat was unbearable, and of course she could not stay in the Forbidden City to suffer.

As for Concubine Hua, it was actually out of appeasement, otherwise, Yongzheng would not want to bring her along.

Cao Qinmo was even more special. Princess Wen Yi was still young and was favored by the emperor, so she must be taken away.

Cao Qinmo was able to accompany the emperor because of her identity as the princess' biological mother, but Cao Qinmo's main purpose was to take care of the princess rather than serve the emperor.

In comparison, Concubine Qi really lacks competitiveness!
