The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

With Yinzhen's support and assurance, Changning was happy and could spend more time with her daughter.

However, she had also made up her mind that she could not be a stumbling block between her daughter and son-in-law. If Hutuli really found a man she liked, she would not stop him.

If twenty-five is too late, you will have to wait and see when an outstanding man appears, and you must seize this rare opportunity quickly.

As for whether there would be the problem of sleeping with the concubine before marriage, Changning was not worried.

If the husband chosen for the princess has a woman before and is not clean, then his family will not be able to handle the situation and will be in great trouble.

Given Yinzhen's protective nature, he would have dealt with Changning without her having to do anything.

But Changning really hates the ancient system of blind marriage. If it could be like modern times, where Hutuli can date the other person and get married only if they really like each other, her life would be much happier.

After all, the old saying that women are afraid of marrying the wrong man makes sense.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as Yinzhen successfully ascends the throne, he can choose a son-in-law in any way he wants.

After figuring this out, Changning felt relieved again. She now understood why her mother was very worried about her love life in modern times.

It is no exaggeration to say that ever since she had a daughter, she also hated that kind of mentally ill person.

As for his sons, Changning thought that they were all natives of ancient times and princes of the royal family. He could not use modern people's perspective to demand that they stay together for the rest of their lives.

There are fewer restrictions on royal princesses, and she can fight for more rights and interests for Hutuli, but the princes are not something she can interfere with alone.

Of course, it would be even better if they had this intention. After all, their father is very devoted to them. Isn’t it said that the Aisin-Gioro family is full of romantic people?

As long as you are not too fickle and are responsible, it will be fine.

Changning and Fujin were both troubled by how to educate their children.

On this point, the two reached a surprising agreement.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it started snowing and it was the winter solstice.

In ancient times, the winter solstice was a busy day and was considered a big day.

The palace will now begin to arrange new year clothes and jewelry, and each government office will also begin to make preparations.

Changning has collected a lot of good things this year. Some were rewards from the palace, some were gifts from Yinzhen, some were gifts from her mother's family, some were earned by her third brother from trading, and some were gifts presented by her servants at different times of the year. There were so many things that the gift list almost filled up an entire room.

Although Changning's warehouse was managed by Wangyue, Nanny Zhang would still conduct random inspections from time to time, and today she was checking the numbers in the account books.

Changning was also bored and looked through it. Seeing how much wealth he had, he couldn't help but sigh. In modern times, he worked so hard to earn that little bit of wealth, but after traveling through time, he became a feudal aristocrat who had everything he wanted.

Fortunately, the script she got was about palace fighting or house fighting. If it was about farming or opening a restaurant, she really wouldn't be able to do it.

It was snowing on the winter solstice, and everyone in the mansion was busy. Hutuli rarely went out today.

She had loved riding horses and shopping with her sisters from other mansions, but it was snowing and it was inconvenient to travel. After listening to the instructions of the two maids, she ran to her mother.

I happened to meet Changning looking through the warehouse account books.

Chang Ning waved her hand generously: "Come, my girl, pick whatever you want. I am happy today, so I will give you whichever one you like."

Hutuli immediately grinned. It was not that she said that her mother had so many good things.

Other people's furnishings are divided according to seasons, but my mother's are divided according to the solar terms. There are twenty-four solar terms in a year, and the furnishings in my mother's room can be changed twice a month, and everything is replaced from beginning to end.

She took the account book excitedly and immediately fell in love with a jade incense box with a Ruyi Ganoderma pattern. She was particularly impressed by it. The emerald green and transparent water was like a deep pool, and just one look at it made people feel calm.

Hutuli pointed at this and showed it to Changning. Seeing her mother nodded, she was so happy that she continued to pick. Since her mother was so generous today, of course she would take advantage of it as much as possible!

According to what my mother said, if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard.

Ahem, that doesn't seem appropriate.

That is the shining light of maternal love.

Changning on the side looked calm and composed. It was the end of the year, so he was being generous for once and making the children happy. This could be considered as New Year's money.

Not only should we give it to Hutuli, but when those guys come back, we should also let them choose.

Hutuli also picked out a glazed palace lantern with intricate and gorgeous carvings. She especially loved the beauty painted on the lantern, who was slender and graceful, like a willow swaying in the wind, with her head poking out as if she was about to fly out of the lantern.

Changning nodded secretly, it seems that his daughter's aesthetic taste is still very good.

She still remembered that when she asked the children to choose gifts last year, Fei Yang'a just wanted a spinning top and a katydid cage, and wanted a few more plates of snacks.

Seeing that his daughter was ready to give up after picking these two items, Chang Ning generously let her continue to choose. He simply took a booklet, flipped a page at random, and said generously: "This page is all yours, put it in your small storeroom."

"Ah?" Hutuli was really surprised. There were more than a hundred items on this page!

What happened to you, mom?

Is it...

"Mother, have you found a good family for me to marry into?"

"Puff!" Chang Ning spat out a mouthful of tea in shock, turned around and looked at her in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Uh..." Hutuli scratched his head. So that's not what he meant.

She quickly explained to her mother: "No, mother, you suddenly gave me so many things to put in the storehouse, I thought you were the same as Fu Jin. If my elder sister wants to talk about others, she is now preparing a dowry for my elder sister. So I thought you were the same."

Chang Ning patted her head and said, "Silly girl, mother is worried about you getting married so early."

Hutuli was a little shy, but she still stayed close to Changning, being careful not to touch her belly.

"I don't want to get married either, mother. Can you come with me when the time comes?"

"Nonsense." Changning tapped her forehead and recalled how Hutuli was a small and soft ball when she was just born, and now she has grown this big.

Hutuli curled her lips. Although she knew it was impossible, she really couldn't bear to leave home, leave her father and mother. Why must a woman get married?

"Mother told your father that she would keep you until you are 25 years old and then talk about marriage."

Twenty-five... Hutuli thought that was quite late. She had also heard news these days that the eldest princess of the Prince of Zhi was going to be adopted as a concubine, and she was only sixteen.

Chang Ning then got back to business: "As for the dowry, I still have to save it for you. This is your little treasury. Every official family starts saving dowries as soon as their daughter is born. Mother wants you to manage your own private treasury and practice your ability as a housekeeper."

Hutuli was even more excited. After selecting his own maid and suppressing the nanny, he was one step closer to becoming an adult, which was to have the power to control his own private treasury.

"You can't let mother down!" Changning looked at her leisurely. Hutuli patted his chest quickly: "Mother, don't worry."
