The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

In Prince Yong's mansion, although the masters were not at home, the remaining princesses and concubines had long been accustomed to it and it was like this year after year.

Not to mention that now that Yinzhen has become a prince, their treatment has also improved a lot.

So, this group of princesses suddenly and strangely agreed on the idea that although they did not compete for favor, their lives were not hopeless!

As long as the prince can keep getting promoted, they can get promoted too!

There is no need for them to rack their brains, take any risks, or strive for favor. They just need to be obedient and wait for the prince to work hard and climb up step by step.

Maybe...

Maybe one day they will be able to live in the Forbidden City?

At the thought of this possibility, their hearts burned with excitement, and their ambitions, which had not been favored for many years, began to beat.

To be honest, who wouldn’t want to be the concubine of the most powerful man in the world?

Anyway, they are all princesses and concubines. If they can really enter the palace and become an empress, it will be an honor for the whole family!

So everyone had a very happy New Year’s Eve dinner this time.

Wu Gege and Geng Gege, who had always been at odds with each other, stopped arguing and instead raised their glasses to drink.

This time, Concubine Chun became the legitimate wife, and the first annual banquet was held in a grand and decent manner. Each person had four or five new clothes, and two winter cloaks, all made of the finest leather.

Guo Gege is the least experienced person in the palace and is not liked by the prince and his wife. She rarely goes out and rarely speaks at the table.

Zhang Gege looked at her and felt a sense of sympathy. She prided herself on her talent, but unfortunately she could not display her talent and was not favored. Fortunately, she had become more open-minded in the past two years and planted chrysanthemums in her yard, which was quite similar to the hermit Tao Yuanming.

In fact, she could understand Guo Gege very well, because she was the same, she was attracted to the man she shouldn't have been attracted to.

Unfortunately, they have never caught the prince's eye.

"Hey, do you have enough charcoal?" Taking advantage of the alcohol, Zhang Gege and Guo Gege started talking. Everyone else was talking and laughing. Tang Gege drank too much and rolled into Liu Gege's arms and acted coquettishly. No one noticed them.

Guo Gege was timid. When she heard her sister talking to her, she was stunned for a moment before she forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, there is enough. Fu Jin has made a lot of charcoal, which is enough for this winter."

Zhang Gege looked at the wine glass in front of her. The water in it reflected her slightly resentful face. She smiled and whispered, "Yes, in fact, Fu Jin has a good heart, but she is cold and doesn't like to be disturbed. As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, you will be good."

Guo Gege looked at her gratefully and nodded quickly.

Gao Gege listened to this and curled her lips. She was a little drunk too. Her two big eyes were watery and sparkling. She covered her mouth and whispered, "Oh! Fu Jin is too powerful! Her methods and schemes are unmatched. Our hometown is still the best! It's time to dance! Hey! Come on and dance!"

Guo Gege pursed her lips and dared not speak. She naturally knew what happened to the princesses who disappeared in the mansion.

Call ~

She heaved a long sigh and looked out the window. Because it was the New Year, Mrs. Fu had ordered that palace lanterns be hung everywhere in the mansion. The place seemed extremely lively and the newly renovated palace looked like a fairyland.

Next year should be better.

She will behave.

She didn't care about the Forbidden City or the glory and wealth. As long as she could survive and live a peaceful and stable life, that would be enough.

In fact, the princesses present knew that Fu Jin's temperament was clear at a glance. As long as you don't provoke her, everything will be fine. Compared with those in other mansions who poisoned, murdered their offspring, and destroyed people's appearance, it was much better.

They also need to learn to be content.

It’s nice to have such a peaceful and stable life.

Song Gege was eating from the pot while the red oil soup inside was bubbling, boiling the beef and mutton, making it all red, spicy and refreshing. There were also beef tripe, yellow throat, duck intestines and other things on the side. I heard that this was also the way of eating that Fujin came up with.

Song Gege enjoyed the meal and admired him secretly.

It seemed like every day could become particularly enjoyable in Fu Jin's hands.

If she were a prince, I'm afraid she would also fall in love with her.

I just hope Yierha can learn a little bit from Lady Fu Jin, then life in the future will be much better.

After Changning came back, she heard that the whole mansion was in harmony. Gao Gege, Geng Gege and Liu Gege were all a little drunk, so they asked someone to send them some hangover soup.

"I'm glad you're alright. You've worked so hard. Take a rest. I'll triple your annual salary."

Changning smiled, and the maids in the room thanked her joyfully. She opened her dressing box and asked Chuixue to pick out about 20 bracelets of tourmaline beads, which she distributed to each of the maids. The tourmaline was bright and even in color, and was most suitable for wearing during the New Year. The maids were so happy that they pushed each other out to make snowmen.

"Madame Zhang" Changning took Madame Zhang's hand and asked her to sit down next to her. Madame Zhang didn't dare to act arrogantly and just sat on the spring stool.

Changning took out a brocade box, which contained a large golden lock and two pairs of little golden pigs, and handed it to Nanny Zhang.

"Madam, you gave birth to a grandson this year. I congratulate you and hope that you will have many children and grandchildren. I have been in the palace for so many years. If it weren't for Madam's care and support, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where I would end up."

Speaking of this, Changning was really touched. Nanny Zhang was her wet nurse and had served her for many years. It could be said that she had dedicated her entire life to her.

This kindness is as heavy as a mountain for her.

Nanny Zhang smiled lovingly and took a handkerchief to wipe Changning's tears: "Don't cry during the New Year. As long as I can serve the master and the master doesn't despise me, Nanny will be happy."

Changning burst into laughter and took Nanny Zhang's hand to go see the lanterns.

At this moment, it was rare that no one came to bother her.

Yinzhen was still in the study, and the children had all gone to rest. After she finished looking at the lights, she lay on the bed and counted her days over the years.

It will get better and better.

Changning slowly closed his eyes.

When she fell into a dream, she felt the familiar embrace coming back. She turned over and rolled into Yinzhen's arms, saying with a thick nasal voice: "Why are you so late?"

Yinzhen kissed her forehead gently: "I'm happy. Yaoxian, you are my wife, I am so happy."

"Silly." Chang Ning still had her eyes closed. Even though she wasn't fully awake yet, it didn't ruin her good mood.

The two of them snuggled together and fell asleep lovingly.

After the new year, the two of them can finally have some peace and quiet and rest for a while.

It was still the first month of the lunar year, but the lanterns in the mansion had not been taken down, and every evening, looking at them, it was a sea of ​​red.

And because the Lantern Festival was approaching, Changning simply waved his hand and ordered people to make riddles and hang them on wooden frames, which was quite interesting.
