The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

The next day, after finally sending all the brothers away, Yinzhen did not go to his wife or Changning, but stayed alone in the front, with scenes of his brothers' interactions over the past two days flashing through his mind. There were some things he had to write down and think about carefully.

First of all, it was Old Eight and the Crown Prince. He was sure that Old Eight had an ulterior motive when he first suggested to the Emperor that he go to his own farm and vegetable garden to take a look. What did he want to say to the Crown Prince? Was he passing on information or trying to stir up trouble?

Now that the prince is under strict control, what else can he plot?

The second is Lao Qi's attitude. He was a little ambiguous at the beginning, but the last few words he said before leaving made it almost clear that he wanted to join him.

The seventh brother is simple and down-to-earth. He likes his younger brother very much, but for now, he cannot integrate his own power and followers too early, otherwise he will definitely become the next target of attack by the emperor.

If he gained more influence during this period of time, the emperor would destroy himself before he could defeat the prince.

On the other side, Fu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief. She told Chaoxia and Wanxia to take off their hairpins and rings, change into pajamas, and prepare to rest. Before going to bed, she called someone to ask about Honghui's situation, but she heard that the child was still studying hard.

Fu Jin's heart suddenly sank and she felt a little unhappy.

He had been swimming in the farm before, and after coming back, he caught a cold for a few days, and the disease was so serious that it almost took him away. Fu Jin took care of him day and night, and her mouth had several blisters. She secretly blamed Yinzhen in her heart, saying that Honghui was weak, so how could he let him go into the water?

He had finally recovered his health, and now he was spending all his energy on it again. How could this be a sign of longevity?

Doesn't this kid cherish his own body?

Fu Jin sighed. Who did she inherit this competitive nature from?

She also knew why Honghui worked so hard. Hongyan was too smart. Whatever Hongyan learned once, Honghui would learn five or even ten times. None of the princes in the study room could compare to him.

Sometimes she wondered why her children were not as smart as those born to Concubine Chun. Could it be that Concubine Chun had taken all the good things in the world?

Except for not having the position of the legitimate wife, she can really be considered a winner in life.

Fu Jin smiled bitterly. She, as a concubine, was doing more prosperously than any of the legitimate wives. Sometimes, it was hard to tell who was envious of whom.

I heard that this time the gentlemen came to the farm and met the three princes in the mansion. They all praised Hongyan and Hongzhao. In terms of academic examination, Hongyan was the best, while when it came to interpersonal relationships and martial arts, Hongzhao was the best.

However, not many people mentioned Honghui, except to praise him for being sensible and decent.

How could the proud and arrogant Honghui tolerate this? Not being as good as his brother was probably the most humiliating thing for him.

Fu Jin suddenly felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She used to be such a proud and arrogant woman, but the past ten years or so have transformed her into a completely different person.

She is only holding on for the sake of Honghui and the family. What will she do if something happens to Honghui?

Fu Jin put on her coat and quietly came to Honghui's room. She saw the candle still on and heard her son's familiar voice from inside.

"Madam Wu, please turn off two more lamps. Mother will notice if the candlelight is so bright."

"Big brother, no, your eyes can't stand it if it gets any darker. You'd better rest early. If Fu Jin knew, she would be heartbroken."

"I know mother will be worried, so finish memorizing this one and go to sleep. Hongyan has memorized ten articles and even made annotations, and I'm only at the sixth one."

Nanny Wu inside sighed and sincerely advised: "Big brother, I'm not saying anything too much. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. Why do you have to compete with the third brother? What's the use of him being well-educated? In the future, when our prince is crowned king, the position of the crown prince will definitely go to you, the eldest son. It is the long-term plan for you to keep your body healthy."

Honghui paused and said, "Madam Wu, I don't want to be a waste. Hongxi said that I am the only one who can represent the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I can't embarrass my father."

Nanny Wu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Honghui: "Okay, Nanny Wu, no need to say anything more, just go down quickly, I know what's going on."

Hearing Honghui's somewhat impatient voice, Nanny Wu didn't dare to say anything more. She could only extinguish the two candles again, then bowed and left.

Seeing this, Fu Jin didn't want to go in again. The child was grown up and had his own ideas. If she interfered too much, it would probably only cause the child to resent her.

She could only think of giving him some pointers on language tomorrow and making him some more nourishing medicinal food.

Fu Jin was secretly shocked and confused. Looking at Hong Hui's attitude, if he couldn't get the result he wanted in the future, what would be his fate? Could she protect him for the rest of his life?

After a night, Yinzhen thought about it and felt that something big must be happening, so he wanted Changning to continue living on the farm with the children, and let Fu Jin go home first, and he would send his two sons to the palace to study.

Fu Jin started to evacuate without saying a word. She was not used to living in the farm. There were still a lot of things to do in the mansion, and there were two new princesses, so she had to go back to see them.

She originally wanted to remind the Fourth Master, but when she turned around, she saw that he had already run to Concubine Chun and was coaxing her in a soft voice.

Fu Jin rolled her eyes secretly and suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

Forget it, why should she remind him anymore? This living father only has that one woman in his eyes and he can't care about anyone else.

Yinzhen was indeed coaxing her: "I always feel that something big is going to happen. I will come back here to accompany you as soon as I send the child off. I also need to continue researching the introduction of heated beds to grow vegetables. You have to be good."

Chang Ning felt a little cheesy, but his heart was as sweet as honey: "I know, you should come back early, and remember to bring Tuan Tuan and the others with you."

"That's fine. I'm busy now, so I can let Tuan Tuan and the others accompany you."

Changning gave Hongyan a few more instructions, asking him to be careful and cautious in everything in the palace, and if there was any emergency, he could ask the eunuch to pass the message out.

The Fucha family had already arranged a lot of spies in the palace. She selected some inconspicuous and safe ones and told her son about them so that he could slowly build up his own power.

After sending this group of people away, Changning and a few other children were the only ones left on the farm.

Yinzhen also brought Hongzhao's teacher with him, and Hongzhao studied in the study room in front every day.

The two little girls, Hutuli and Yierha, often kept each other company, either doing needlework or strolling in the garden together.

Changning coaxed the remaining three sons.
