The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Changning had also heard about the Third Prince's affairs, but she didn't expect that it would involve her own man's business trip.

"I don't know how long you'll be gone, what about the things on the farm?"

Changning held her belly. This time she did not pack his luggage herself, and Yinzhen would not allow it.

"It's okay. You won't be back for more than two or three months. I'm just worried about you. There are rumors everywhere. Who knows what the desperate Dong E family will do. You should be careful."

Chang Ning burst out laughing: "How can you say that the Third Sister-in-law is desperate? Besides, it is their business. What does it have to do with me?"

"Mrs. Dong E has always been rude to you. You know she is an ignorant woman. You don't have to pay attention to her. It's still freezing outside now. Try to go out less. If you are bored, you can ask Madam Fucha to come in and see you. It's okay for her to stay for a while."

Chang Ning took his hand and gently leaned forward, saying in a tender tone: "I know, you don't have to worry about me."

Yinzhen hugged her like a big baby and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll finish it soon and come back soon. If there's anything bothering you, wait for me to come back and deal with it. If you need any errands, leave it to Hongyan and Hongzhao."

Changning nodded. Children are now at an age where they particularly like to show off their abilities. If you give them something, they will feel that it is a recognition of themselves and will be very excited to do it.

So whether it is Yinzhen or Changning, they are willing to let them gain more experience. Isn't this a win-win situation?

So when Yinzhen was going out this time, Hongyan and Hongzhao patted their chests and told their father not to worry, they would definitely take good care of their mother.

With the children's assurance, Yinzhen touched their little heads, reluctantly pulled Changning's hand and left.

The establishment of the Confucius Temple this time has great cultural and political significance. The fact that this task was entrusted to him was also a test and appreciation of his abilities by the Emperor. Yinzhen decided that he must not let the Emperor down.

After Yinzhen left, the mansion was peaceful for a while. Hongyan and Hongzhao came back every day to have meals and rest, and they would ask about Changning's situation during their evening chats.

Hutuli has shouldered the heavy trust of his father and younger brothers, and will come to accompany his mother whenever he has nothing to do.

They also heard about what happened in the Third Prince's mansion, but they only had a vague understanding of it.

Although Hong Zhao and Hong Qing have always had some conflicts, they do not seem to be gloating or making sarcastic remarks now.

On the contrary, he felt a little sympathetic and pitiful.

"Mother, I heard that Hongqing was driven out of the mansion by Uncle San. Does that mean he has no father anymore? Can he go back?"

Chang Ning touched his head, still surprised at his son's broad mind, and said in a leisurely tone: "Yes, your uncle will not give up Hongqing. He will go to pick Hongqing up and bring him back to the mansion in a while."

Hong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Although Hong Qing does deserve a beating, it would be too pitiful if Father didn't want him. The palace will start classes in two days, and I don't know if he has the face to see his brothers."

At this point, Hong Zhao suddenly thought of Hong Hui: "Big brother has a very good relationship with him. I heard that he wanted to go to Dong E's house to look for Hong Qing these past two days, but was stopped by the mother."

Hong Zhao looked sad: "My mother is really strict."

The children's attitude towards Fu Jin is also somewhat subtle.

Perhaps it was because he often interacted with the young princes and princesses in various mansions, and he also knew the relationship between the legitimate wife and the concubine. For example, in the mansion of the third uncle, the two were incompatible.

The other uncles are about the same. Thirteenth Uncle and Fourteenth Uncle seem to be doing well, and Hongchang and Hongchun don't have that many worries.

Hongchang just couldn't see his biological mother often, and he felt a little self-pitying, but the Thirteenth Lady was very kind to him, and no one in the mansion looked down on him, so he grew up in a relatively clean environment.

The same goes for Hongchun. His personality is similar to that of the Fourteenth Master. He loves to play tricks and has a bit of a hot temper. He is also the Fourteenth Master's eldest son. Although the Lady now has a legitimate son, he is still young and her attitude towards him is okay.

The same cannot be said for the other cousins ​​and sisters.

Either the biological mother is favored and looks down on the legitimate mother, or the biological mother is always suppressed by the legitimate mother and has to look at the faces of her legitimate brothers and sisters.

Although they all seem to be in harmony on the surface, what they actually think is not something that outsiders can know.

Although Hong Zhao was young, he was very smart and had a strong sense of emotional changes. In addition, he now had a brother and sister from different mothers in the mansion, so he could empathize with them a little.

Changning has always been relatively tolerant towards children, and advocates happy learning and happy growth, so the children will tell her whatever is on their mind.

But now, seeing how hard their mother works, taking care of two younger brothers and being pregnant, Hutuli, Hongyan and Hongzhao rarely bother their mother with such things anymore.

If anyone has something on their mind, the three of them often get together to discuss and see if they can help solve it.

That day, the three of them gathered together in Hutu's room.

"Tell me, Hongyan, what happened over there?" Hutuli raised his eyebrows, looking like he was listening attentively.

Classes have started in the palace these days, and the two boys in the mansion have resumed their previous life of going to the palace to study and coming back every five days.

Hongyan was obviously in a bad mood when he came back this time. Although he was still calm and humble in front of his mother, they could tell at a glance that Hongyan had something on his mind.

In order not to disturb their mother, they quietly gathered together.

Hong Zhao felt sorry for his brother and stood up for him: "What's wrong? Brother, did Hong Qing provoke you again? Or did Hong Xi and Hong Yu show off again?"

Hongxi and Hongyu are now in the upper study room, and they are considered the leaders of this group of young princes. The two of them occasionally clash, causing the upper study room to start dividing into factions.

Hong Yan shook his head: "It's not their business, it's Big Brother's."

He seemed to be hesitant and didn't know where to start.

Now both Kotori and Hiroaki were curious.

Hong Zhao kept shaking his brother's arm, asking him to speak faster.

Hong Yan sighed and whispered, "Someone around me heard my elder brother tell Hong Qing that he was grateful for always thinking about him and that he understood him better than his brothers in the mansion."

Hutuli pursed his lips and said, "He is quite good at winning people over. Even his brothers in his own house don't understand him, but outsiders can understand him? No wonder Hongqing can play with him. It's just that people are stained with blood when they are around."

Hongyan felt that Honghui should not be that kind of person.
