The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

"You are such a greedy little cat! You came here just because you smelled something."

Chang Ning couldn't help laughing, and reached out to touch her fur. Unexpectedly, he felt a hand full of fur: "Haven't you combed her hair properly today?"

Zhui Yu hurriedly replied, "Yes, I combed it. Yuzhu and I combed it together. It must be the season. The hair has started to shed again."

"Feed her some egg yolk and boiled shrimp later, but don't add salt." Changning finished the meal in a few bites and started to pet the cat. Tuantuan snored in her arms in comfort.

"Hey!" Zhuiyu responded repeatedly.

Seeing Zhui Yu coming over, Chang Ning asked casually, "How are they? Are they all willing to get married?"

"Pinhua already has a lover. She originally planned to tell her master that she wanted to leave the house at the end of the year to prepare for her wedding. The other Yus, except Yuxia, all want to go out. Grape and Yingtao also want to get married, but the rest don't want to."

Changning nodded. Everyone has their own aspirations. For those who want to get married, she naturally hopes to part ways amicably. Each person will receive a gold hairpin and a dowry of fifty or one hundred taels.

After planning these things with Zhui Yu, he promoted some more people.

As soon as there was a vacancy among the maids, Yuxia was promoted.

Among the second-class maids, there were only Caiwei, Xingwei and Shiliu left, so she promoted Yuezhi as well.

Let Aunt Zhang take care of the rest.

After dealing with these things, Nanny Zhang called Bai Zhu over again and said she wanted to take her pulse.

Chang Ning was confused. Why was she taking her pulse at this late hour? But she knew that Aunt Zhang must have a point, so she obediently stretched out her wrist. Tuantuan turned around and began to lick her belly gently, which made Chang Ning laugh.

After a while, Bai Zhu nodded to Aunt Zhang, and then said to Chang Ning: "Master, you are having twins this time."

Oh, Changning subconsciously touched her belly, and found two more little ones.

Tuantuan sensed something and licked even more happily. Although there was clothing between them, his belly also felt itchy. Changning was even happier: "Tuantuan, you understand, right? You are such a smart baby."

Tuantuan raised his head proudly and licked his paws.

Chang Ning was very upset: "You licked your paws and my belly, you bad boy! I will punish you by making you sleep with me tonight."

Hearing this, Chuibing and Zhuiyu took Tuantuan away and wiped her paws clean before letting her get on the bed.

The man and the cat slept together in a loving embrace.

The next morning, upon hearing the news that Changning was pregnant with twins again, Yinzhen rushed back without stopping. As a result, he saw Tuantuan sleeping in his place with her belly turned over, sleeping carefree. When she saw him coming, she half-closed her eyes, but did not get up, but turned over and continued to sleep.

Yinzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't bother with her. He had been busy with the cowpox issue these past two days and really didn't have time to spend more time with Yaoxian. With Tuantuan around, he felt a lot more at ease.

Looking at his beloved woman sleeping soundly, Yinzhen felt particularly comfortable and full of energy, as if he was fully charged, and went out to work again like a gust of wind.

But after a while, the nanny from the sewing room and a group of twelve maids were waiting outside, ready to take measurements for Master Chun and make clothes for him.

There were also people from the flower and plant room who came over and picked a lot of flowers in full bloom and placed them in Qingzhi Courtyard.

Zhang Qilin was also standing in the yard, followed by the person who was responsible for firing porcelain for Master Chun, because the master said that Master Chun liked a certain kind of blue and white porcelain recently, so they wanted to fire it according to her preferences.

The three groups of people stood in the yard and looked at each other. Although they didn't communicate, they were all making eye contact. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they were all smiling. They all felt that Master Chun was really favored...

After waiting for a long time, Changning finally woke up. She was shocked to hear that there were three groups of people waiting at the door, so she let Zhang Qilin in first.

He was very humble: "Master Chun, the prince asked if there is any specific style of blue and white porcelain you want? Are there any plates or dishes you want?"

Chang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'll just need vases, tableware, and ornaments. Oh, and I also want a rose quartz ear-lid stove. It would be best if it was carved from a whole piece of rose quartz and was clear. Silver is also essential."

Zhang Qilin bent even lower, took the purse handed to him by Chuixue, bowed, and left with the kiln workers.

"Master, do you like rose stone? The craftsman's workshop may not be able to make it." Fubuki was a little worried.

Chang Ning nodded: "The hibiscus quartz is so beautiful! I like these bright colors now, especially the pink ones."

When she thought of the hibiscus stone pan-chi ear lid stove from the Qianlong period that she had seen in modern times, she liked it so much that she wanted to use it to decorate her own house immediately.

But what Chuixue said was right. This whole piece of hibiscus stone was rare and might not be obtained. She lowered her expectations: "Go find Zhang Qilin later and tell him not to worry. If you can't find it, forget it."

The people from the flower and plant room were asked to go and see Nanny Zhang, and then the people from the needlework room came in one after another.

After two old maids took measurements, the maids behind them carried five large boxes and showed Changning these precious fabrics one by one, including flowered gauze, scented satin... They were all carefully selected, precious, rare, thin, cool and breathable. For the sake of Master Chun's pregnancy, the prince specially opened the warehouse, selected these good materials, and hurriedly asked the sewing room to come over.

Changning is somewhat interested in making clothes, after all, he has played Miracle Nikki.

She picked Chunchen, Zhengqing, Yangfei, Sumei and other beauties. It happened that Hutuli had finished boxing at that time and heard that her mother was pregnant with twins, so she hurried over to see her. As a result, she happened to meet the people in the sewing room who were trying to choose colors and fabrics for making clothes.

Chang Ning saw his daughter and waved her hand: "Hutuli, come quickly, this color suits you, make two Han women's skirts to wear, it will be cool."

Hutuli looked at the materials and thought they were pretty: "Mother, I like this silver-red one."

The mother and daughter happily spent the entire afternoon selecting colors and fabrics, and also picked out a lot of patterns. They were both very much looking forward to the finished product.

In the afternoon, Changning rarely stayed up, so she asked Zhuiyu to prepare some desserts. She and Hutuli ate honey-sandwiches and butterfly cakes, accompanied by grape fruit tea. The mother and daughter sat together under the pomegranate tree to enjoy the cool air.

"Mother, is it heavy to be carrying two children in your belly?" Hutuli was a little worried that Changning's body couldn't handle it.

Chang Ning took a sip of fruit tea. Although there was no ice in it, the cool breeze was still very comfortable. "It's okay. Don't worry. This is my mother's first baby. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Hutuli thought about it and felt relieved when he saw that his mother had a good appetite. He was in the mood to share gossip with her.

"Didn't the Third Lady of the Third Prince's Mansion go to the main courtyard? I heard that Concubine Tian has taken her back these past two days."

"Ah?" Changning was surprised. Could Dong E be so accurate?

Hutuli whispered to her mother secretly: "I heard that... Concubine Tian offered a beauty to Third Uncle and persuaded him."

What?

Changning was stunned.

What shocked her even more was how her daughter knew everything.
