"That's not what I meant, but I really can't accept the fact that Concubine Yu was promoted to a concubine. Your Majesty, please be considerate of the feelings of the old ladies like me.
If you don't believe me, feel free to ask the other sisters in the harem. They, like me, cannot accept this fact. Your Majesty, please don't disappoint us."
Qianlong watched her performance coldly. Before, there were indeed many people who looked down on Concubine Yu, but since she gave birth to the Fifth Prince, who would dare to look down on her?
If someone really looked down on her, they would have exposed it long ago. Why wait until now to expose it? Did Concubine Chun think she was stupid?
Also, the reason she came to make trouble with me today was simply because she felt that since Concubine Yu could be made a concubine, she, Concubine Chun who gave birth to Yong Zhang, could naturally be made a concubine.
Not only that, she must be given the title of concubine first. After all, she has been given the title of concubine a long time ago. No matter what, we should start with her first.
However, she thought too simply. If she stayed there obediently and nothing happened, she would give her the position of concubine sooner or later, but not now.
"I'm concerned about your feelings? But have you ever been concerned about my feelings? Come, tell me, besides you, is there anyone else in the harem who is dissatisfied with Concubine Yu's appointment as a concubine?
I just don't believe that anyone who can be protected by the Queen would be such a vicious person. If she really doesn't deserve the position of concubine, the Queen would have stopped me long ago.
Concubine Chun, you are not a newcomer to the palace, but you can't even see such a simple truth. Or has your standards become higher since you gave birth to the third prince?
Or do you think that since you have a prince by your side, you can influence my thoughts? I have to admire your courage to influence my thoughts! "
Concubine Chun was shocked. When had she ever influenced his thoughts? She had come to express her dissatisfaction. If Qianlong was not satisfied, she could just refuse. Why did she say so much?
If this gets out, won't people say she is too bold to dare to influence the emperor's thoughts?
"How dare I think like that? Your Majesty, you want me to bear the blame! I have a prince by my side, but I dare not think of anything like that.
The reason I came to the Yangxin Palace today was really to seek justice for myself. I have served you for many years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?
I did have a lot of prejudice against the Empress before, but that was because she was too weak and I looked down on her, so I did those foolish things.
Ever since the transformation of Her Majesty, I dare not treat Her Majesty the same way as before. If you had not suddenly gone mad and made me your concubine, I would not have left the palace.
Your Majesty, I understand that my wish is to raise Yong Zhang to adulthood, marry him off to a suitable wife, and then live a life with descendants."
Qianlong had to admire her. He had just said such harsh words, but she was able to take it lightly, which showed that she was well prepared.
But what does it matter if she made preparations? He never thought of making her a concubine.
Judging from the fact that she bullied Mu Sili in the past, she can only be a concubine in this life!
"No matter what, I will never let you become Consort Chun. Before I lose my temper, go back to your Chuxiu Palace."
After all, he still had a son, so he didn't want to make things too awkward. But Concubine Chun didn't appreciate it. She only knew that she was abandoned by Emperor Qianlong.
If she returned to Chuxiu Palace now, she would only be a concubine for the rest of her life.
If she had known that following Mu Sili would bring so many benefits, she would have said that she would never bully her no matter what. If she had not bullied her, she might have become Concubine Chun now.
She really regretted it and was really jealous. She also wanted the position of queen.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world for doing this? The Queen has just been deposed, and you can't wait to put her on the throne.
Aren't you afraid that people will think you framed the Queen for her? Wouldn't it matter if she were to be rumored to be a scourge to the nation?"
"How dare you, Concubine Chun! Do you think that just because you gave birth to a prince, your status is secure and I won't touch you? Who gave you the guts to criticize me?"
Concubine Chun's eyes shrank. If she didn't speak out what was in her heart, she would feel suffocated to death.
"Since you want this position so much, then..."
Concubine Chun sneered in her heart, isn't the position of concubine here? If you don't make a fuss, you will never know when you will get what you want.
"Then, don't take the position of concubine. If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to Yong Zhang, I would have prevented you from even taking the position of noble lady.
Concubine Yu is my concubine. Since I have issued an edict to confer her the title of concubine, she is naturally qualified to sit on the throne of concubine. What right do you have to interfere?
Today I will let you know the consequences of greed. Come, draft an edict. Concubine Chun has defied the emperor's authority. From today on, she will be demoted to a noble lady and moved out of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace.
Also, move the Third Prince, Yongzhang, to the Prince Residence. As a mere noblewoman, Consort Chun is not qualified to raise a prince, so she should stay in Chuxiu Palace from now on."
Concubine Chun looked at Qianlong in shock. What did he mean by this? Did he mean that she would never be able to see her son again?
But why? That was the son she gave birth to after risking her life, why shouldn't she be allowed to see him? She could endure being demoted, but she couldn't endure the pain of having her son taken away from her.
"Your Majesty, you cannot take Yong Zhang away from me. He is my life. I will die without him!"
"Then you go to hell!"
Qianlong was also angry. If he had to suffer today, he would rather die than be so nagging and annoying.
Concubine Chun, who had been demoted to a noble lady, fell silent for a moment. She stared at Qianlong blankly, as if she couldn't believe that such cruel words could come out of his mouth.
After a long time, she kowtowed to Qianlong respectfully.
"I have served Your Majesty for many years, but I never expected this to be the result. Your Majesty has actually disliked me for a long time, right? It is my fault that I cannot please you.
Isn't it just confinement to Chuxiu Palace and never leaving? I will stay in Chuxiu Palace obediently from now on. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never come out and cause trouble."
Qianlong just looked at her coldly. After saying so much, wasn't it because she was afraid of death? Since she was afraid of death, she should just stay in Chuxiu Palace.
"Stand back."
"I'll take my leave."
After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Concubine Chun looked deeply in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The most honorable person in the entire Qing Dynasty was sitting there, but the person in that person's heart was not her.
Since it wasn't her, why should she have any expectations of him? Qianlong had miscalculated. He had confined her to Chuxiu Palace, but that didn't mean she couldn't see Yongzhang.
When Yongzhang grows up, he can come to Chuxiu Palace to see her. Then she will teach him how to please Qianlong. Qianlong is the most vain person. As long as she becomes his most beloved son, she will be able to leave here in a few years.
