The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Although Guo Gege knew that the Fourth Prince was not very fond of women and only favored Concubine Chun, she did not know that he was so strict with other women in the mansion.

She didn't dare to act rashly. She remembered that before she came, Concubine De had specifically reminded her not to cause trouble in the Prince's Mansion.

"Ugh……"

She let out a long sigh, it seems that the only answer is "There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees, I love you but you don't know it".

Hong Xing on the side was also afraid that she had made the wrong decision. Nowadays, it is so important to have a good master.

Previously, Hong Xing and Xing Wei entered the mansion together. She ended up serving Concubine Chun and is now a second-class maid. She has a promising future. Once she leaves the courtyard, everyone in the mansion respectfully calls her Miss Xing Wei.

But she was assigned to serve the new princess, the person with the lowest seniority in the mansion. But Hong Xing did not complain, thinking that she would serve her master well, and when she was old enough, she would naturally get married.

But if this new princess commits suicide, as a slave, she will definitely lose her life. The way the prince treats slaves is obvious to all, not to mention the killing god-like Concubine Chun.

So, she couldn't help but whispered to Guo Gege: "Gege, let's be honest. If the prince is thinking of you and wants to come to see you, then it is naturally a blessing from heaven. If not, don't go forward. Not to mention the prince, we can't even afford to touch Concubine Chun."

At this point, she looked around and saw that no one was around, so she lowered her voice and continued, "A few years ago, there was a girl named Niuhulu in the palace. Because she was dishonest, she angered her master, so Concubine Chun cut off her tongue..."

"Ah..." Guo Gege was so frightened that her voice trembled. She thought of the concubine who was beaten to death...

"Then...what happened to this Niuhulu?"

Hong Xing asked back: "You have been here for a few days and have seen most of the women in the backyard of the mansion. Have you heard of Princess Niuhulu?"

Never heard of it... Then there is only one possibility, this person is gone.

Guo Gege felt like she was almost unable to breathe. It was so scary, so scary...

The shadow of the concubine who was beaten to death in the palace came back to her again. She had thought that everyone in the Prince's Mansion was so friendly on the surface, and there shouldn't be anything shady. But she didn't expect that such a serious loss of life would occur.

Then she...then what should she do?

She actually tried to get close to Lord Beile! Is she going to die too?

Guo Gege felt herself suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat, her hair standing on end, and goose bumps all over her body. The sound of rain outside became more intense, with thunder and lightning. She was frightened, scared, and cold, and hurriedly wrapped herself in the quilt and pulled Hong Xing's sleeve.

"Hong Xing, what should I do? What should I do? I won't dare to do it again!"

Seeing her fear, Hong Xing knew that her goal had been achieved. She was also afraid of frightening the princess, so she comforted her softly: "It's okay, princess, let's stay away from the prince from now on, close the gate of the courtyard, and live our own lives in peace."

Guo Gege kept nodding her head, her whole body trembling. She felt that in the next second someone would come and drag her away, pin her down and beat her with a stick, and have her tongue pulled out.

Buried deep in her memory was the scene of the concubine who had made a mistake being held down and beaten with two one-inch-thick boards until she was bloody and had no strength to even scream. The concubine's face had actually turned into her own.

"I really don't dare to do that anymore. I will never get close to Lord Beile again." Guo Gege kept muttering to herself. Hong Xing was afraid that she would be scared to death, so she quickly made her drink two bowls of hot ginger soup to make her sweat and go to bed early.

Hong Xing took a lot of effort to convince Guo Gege that her master would not kill people for no reason, and that they were all on the farm, not in the mansion, and that the prince would definitely leave early tomorrow morning.

After getting the assurance, Guo Gege gradually came out of her fantasy and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, Changning was so frightened by the heavy rain that he couldn't sleep.

"Master, it's already four o'clock in the morning. Would you like some tea?" The one on guard tonight is the second-class maid, Shi Liu.

Seeing Changning tossing and turning, she couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

Chang Ning sat up and asked her, "Did you hear the baby crying?"

Shi Liu held her breath and listened carefully. The sound of rain outside was so loud that she really didn't hear any children's voices. But since the master had spoken, she hurriedly got up and put on her clothes: "Master, don't worry, I'll go see the young masters."

Changning hurriedly called her: "Take that big umbrella and put on a raincoat, don't catch a cold. If the children cry, wrap them up tightly and bring them here."

"Yes." Shi Liu felt warm in her heart. It was good to follow the master. The master treated the servants not only with rewards during festivals and daily treatment, but they also really felt that the master treated them as human beings.

Shi Liu followed Chang Ning's instructions, wrapped herself up tightly, and then went to the side yard with a lantern.

After a while, the crying of the children really came from far away. Behind Shi Liu, there were five or six wet nurses and nannies. One of them was holding Hongyang, and the other two were holding Hongmin and Hongchen.

While helping to serve the young master, Shi Liu replied: "The Second Princess and the Fourth Prince are both asleep, and the Seventh Prince is crying, waking up the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince."

Hongchen came over first with his short legs: "Mom! It's thundering! My brother is crying!"

Hongmin was not willing to be left behind, and the two little kids followed suit and climbed onto Changning's bed.

Changning quickly opened the quilt and let her two sons in to warm themselves up. She then touched their bodies and found them dry and not wet at all. It seemed that the wet nurses had taken good care of them.

After checking on the two sons, Chang Ning took the crying younger son in hand and patted him gently to comfort him while talking to Hong Min and Hong Chen: "It's raining outside, are you afraid? Do you want to sleep here with your mother?"

The two little kids nodded quickly, and Hongmin held Changning in his arms: "We want to sleep with mom."

Hongchen was not to be outdone and hugged the other side: "Hongchen wants one too!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Changning was surrounded by three children, and she felt very happy. Hongyang was also comforted with his mother by his side. His crying gradually stopped, but he was still sobbing with tear marks on his face, looking very pitiful.

Changning asked the wet nurses to go down and slept with her three sons.

It’s true that it’s good when children grow up. Look at Hutuli and Feiyanga, they are sleeping soundly and I don’t have to worry about them at all.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep~ my dear baby~ mother's hands~ gently rock you~"

Changning sang a lullaby. Her voice was soft and gentle, with a soothing power. Hongyang soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
