The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Hongmin counted the fireflies countless times but still couldn't figure out how many there were, which made Hongyang stop looking at the window and keep looking at his brother.

This made Changning laugh out loud. She really admired this son. His concentration was similar to Hongyan's. It seemed that once he had made up his mind about something, nothing could stop him.

But what can I say? This personality is good, but it also has its bad sides. Changning began to worry again. What if this stubborn personality turns him into a nerd in the future?

Hongzhao has a volatile and impetuous personality, which worries her. She hopes her sons can just be more moderate in their tempers.

Hongyang is still young. He does nothing but eat and sleep. We can’t tell his personality yet, but his face is getting more and more beautiful.

Today Wanhe also said that Hongyang was more beautiful than her princess.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yinzhen came in and said with a smile: "What are the children doing in the yard? They are shouting and laughing, and I can hear them from a long distance away."

"Look!" Chang Ning pointed at the green light on the window and laughed, "Catching fireflies."

"Oh, yes, there are lakes on both sides, and there are quite a few fireflies." Yinzhen sat down next to her, picked up Hongmin who was counting insects and put him on his lap, and took a banana to eat.

"The Prince of Zhi is gone?" Changning put Hongyang on the couch and fanned him gently. It was already late for the child to stay up until now, so she quickly let him go to bed.

Yinzhen ate a banana and coaxed his son while answering her: "Let's go. Big brother also loves his son, and he is bowing to me for Hongyu. Why? I have always watched these nephews grow up. If they are in trouble, how can I not help them?"

Chang Ning nodded and stopped talking about the outside things. "I don't know how they are doing. There are a lot of mosquitoes outside. Don't get bitten by them."

Fubuki smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. Zhuiyu and Yuxia have made mosquito repellent sachets for the young masters. Wear them with you. They are most effective in repelling mosquitoes."

"Yuxia's craftsmanship is deft and has improved over the years." Changning praised.

"Are you tired today? Why don't you take a rest early?" Yinzhen felt sorry for her working hard while pregnant. He had not planned to let Changning attend the banquet today, but in order to formally confer the title of Prince's Consort on her, he hoped that these brothers and sisters-in-law would understand his meaning. Changning herself said that it was no problem. She had not seen guests for a long time while pregnant, so it would be nice to have some fun.

He specifically instructed Nanny Ma beside him to take good care of Changning and to report to him if she felt any discomfort.

Fortunately, nothing happened that day. I heard that she had a lot of fun and even played poker with her sisters-in-law.

Speaking of playing cards, Changning has already instructed Zhao Fuhai to have someone make a set of mahjong.

When it comes to entertainment, how can we miss mahjong!

After a while, Hongmin became more and more sleepy as he counted the fireflies. He yawned in Yinzhen's arms and could hardly open his eyes.

Chang Ning was happy and asked the nurse to take him back to sleep. Hong Yang was also the same, he fell asleep after being patted by Chang Ning a few times.

The children had a lot of fun today and met guests, so they are exhausted.

After sending the two sleeping children back, I saw the children who were catching fireflies also running back.

The glass bottles that Chuixue brought them were relatively rare in Changning. They were specially brought back for her by Changxing when he was doing trade.

Yinzhen had previously said that he would find some glass products for her, and now there is a glass display cabinet and several glass vases.

However, Yinzhen prefers colored glass. The glittering colored glass cups, poured with brightly colored wine or tender green tea leaves, accompanied by boiling water, and the clear reflections all have a more charming flavor.

However, this glass bottle is more suitable for fireflies.

Hongzhao handed it to Changning carefully. In the transparent glass bottle, there were about ten fireflies dancing in it, a bright green ball, which was very beautiful.

Hutuli smiled and said, "Father, mother, look, we caught quite a few!"

"Wow, so beautiful! You guys are so talented!" Changning praised them quickly. Hongzhao, Hongyan and Hutuli all had smiles on their faces. Changning's emotional value was very appropriate.

Hongchen also jumped up and down, pulling Changning's sleeve: "Mother! Mother! I! I caught it!"

Looking at his chubby little face, Changning gave him a kiss, which made him very happy.

"Okay, it's getting late, you all should go back to sleep." Changning asked someone to send them all back.

Hutuli, Hongyan and Hongzhao withdrew after paying their respects. Hongchen cried and grabbed Changning's sleeve and refused to let go, insisting that he would sleep with his mother no matter what. However, Yinzhen glared at him and he had to let go of her hand with a look of grievance. He was sobbing and was carried back by the wet nurse.

The two were tired after a day of work and went to bed early.

Since catching fireflies that day, the children became addicted to it. They would squat at the window of the nature painting every night, catch a whole bottle at a time, and say they would give them to their best friends.

In another month or two it would be Yinzhen's birthday.

Changning was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to sew, so she had to give the blueprints and verbal instructions. Hutuli and Yierha made a piece of clothing for Yinzhen together. Not to mention how exquisite the style was, just the fine stitching was the result of the two girls' painstaking efforts.

Changning praised them both again and again, praising the clothes to the heavens and the earth, which made the shameless Hutuli blush and feel embarrassed, and Yierha was even more embarrassed.

Yinzhen was very polite when he received the gift. He put it on directly and even went around the palace for a walk.

Soon, the whole Forbidden City knew that the clothes Prince Yong wore were made by the eldest and second princesses.

Yinzhen returned to Beijing this time to inspect Changhua's progress in promoting cowpox and the Ministry of Revenue's revenue collection situation, and finally returned to the palace to check on the repair progress.

The reconstruction of the Prince's Palace from the Prince's Palace was no small project. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked for more than two months before they had a rough outline. Yinzhen also made some suggestions on the details, and then they were ready to return to the Old Summer Palace. By the way, they also took Tuantuan's family with them.

The garden here is big and there is a lot of water. Changning is particularly afraid that these fearless cats will run around and fall into the water. She doesn't grab others, but only tells Tuantuan and keeps nagging her to keep an eye on her husband's three cubs and make sure they don't fall into the lake and get eaten by fish.

Tuantuan just licked her fur gracefully. She loved lying on the lawn at the door to bask in the sun.

The three cats were also taken away by Hongyan, Hongzhao and Hutuli, who would hold them in their arms while sleeping at night.

Changning only saw that Tuantuan had become more and more lazy recently, just like her, and she felt a chill in her heart, wondering if Tuantuan was pregnant again?

She asked Bai Zhu to come and take a look immediately. Although Bai Zhu was a medical doctor, he also had some veterinary skills over the years. Sure enough, Tuantuan was pregnant with her second child.
