The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Yinzhen wanted to laugh when he heard Yaoxian praising the young lady again and again for her extraordinary beauty, proper manners, and good temper. "What's wrong? Do you like her so much? If you really like her and want to live with her in the same mansion, I have an idea for you."

Changning turned around and looked at him.

"You don't have to be my concubine, why don't you be Hongyan's concubine?"

what?

Changning was stunned.

"How old is Hongyan?"

My ten-year-old son is going to be promised to a concubine?

Yinzhen disagreed: "It doesn't matter how old he is. Marry a virtuous wife and a pretty concubine. Since Nian is so beautiful and has a capable father and brother, wouldn't it be nice for her to be a concubine for Hongyan?"

"Also, after a few years, when Hongyan grows up, the Nian family will be more established and more suitable for branching out."

Changning was shocked.

So this is how the royal family chooses their wives?

See if it’s easy to give birth.

Having said that, it seems that the four concubines in the palace did give birth to the most children and received the most favors.

What's more, even if he didn't say it, Changning knew the remaining reason.

The Nian Xialing family is a target that must be won over.

Hiring Nian Gengyao is like hiring a powerful general.

The Fucha family is indeed outstanding in military affairs, and Changrong is now the leading military commander in the capital.

But who would complain that their wings are not strong enough?

However, Changning still opposed letting Nian Zhiyi be his son's concubine.

It's not that she is a saintly person. She also knows that as Yinzhen's next heir, there must be arrangements for the women in Hongyan's backyard, and it is impossible to fully take his own wishes into consideration.

But Changning knows the history!

The Nian family will be liquidated in the end!

In other words, whoever marries Nian Zhiyi will actually add an extra layer of vigilance to Yinzhen, which will be an obstacle to his seizure of the throne!

How could this incident block the possibility of her son ascending the throne?

Changning refused immediately.

Seeing that she was firmly opposed, Yinzhen said nothing. Of course, he had to take Yaoxian's thoughts into consideration.

Putting this matter aside for the moment, the two of them started to calculate the accounts in bed.

It didn't stop until midnight.

Changning's mind was still racing at night.

But this time he was not thinking about the Nian family, but Kangxi.

Speaking of Kangxi's health, it seems to be worse than in history. Before, he still had the strength to fight and kill people, but recently I heard that he just lies in bed and needs people to serve him.

The emperor's health was deteriorating day by day, while Yinzhen's prestige was growing higher and higher.

Changning also became a little expectant.

Changning was right. Kangxi had indeed been ill for a long time, and he himself felt it, but he just refused to accept it.

But after the violent coughing tonight and seeing the bright red on the handkerchief, Kangxi suddenly felt tired and collapsed on the bed, as if he could no longer hear any sound from the outside world.

Looking back on his life, he ascended the throne at the age of eight, took power at the age of fourteen, destroyed Oboi, and pacified the Three Feudatories. He considered himself a wise monarch who managed the Qing Dynasty in an orderly manner. In this way, even if he went to see the late emperor after death, he would not be ashamed.

The only thing that hurts him is the relationship between father and son.

There are no fathers and sons in heaven.

He recalled his first son, who was born to Rong Fei Ma Jia, and then died young. Then Baoqing was born, then Baocheng, and now he can’t remember how many sons he had.

All of my sons are outstanding and good at fighting.

Unfortunately, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Kangxi closed his eyes tiredly. He could not be wrong. He was the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven could never be wrong.

The emperor was seriously ill, and the sky in the Forbidden City seemed to change all of a sudden.

Yinzhen was also very busy and went to the palace almost all day long.

I had originally said that I would bring them back into the garden after winter, but now I can’t keep my promise.

Although it was a pity that Changning did not go to the Old Summer Palace again, the palace was large and spacious after renovation, making it more convenient for relatives to visit, keep in touch and exchange information than in the garden.

So she soon received the news from Changhua that the cowpox vaccine had been successfully implemented in the pilot project in the capital, and that the vaccine would be pushed to all parts of the country. She was extremely happy.

With the cowpox vaccine, vaccination by Hongmin Hongchen will be safer, and people across the country will also be safer.

So once this news spread, it almost exploded.

The reputation of Prince Yong and the Fucha Mansion became known throughout the country.

As long as cowpox continues to be promoted, more people will love him.

This is the people's will.

I heard that some people who had suffered greatly from smallpox had made a Buddha statue for Yinzhen and were worshipping it day and night.

If it had happened before, Yinzhen would definitely be particularly afraid that this news would reach the ears of the emperor and cause a counterproductive effect.

But now Kangxi was in a coma all day long and was almost never awake, and no court affairs were allowed to be reported to his superiors, so this rumor could not be passed on.

Therefore, with the tacit promotion of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifth and Seventh Princes, Prince Yinzhen Yong became more and more famous.

Of course, with Yinzhen's tacit approval, the news that Changning first raised the cowpox was gradually released.

Prince Yong and his wife became a legend in the capital.

Officials at the imperial court were originally very dissatisfied with Prince Yong because of the issue of the Ministry of Revenue collecting money. They felt that this was a tough nut to crack and the path of a lone minister.

Who would have thought that he would be able to walk this path of a lone minister?

It seemed that this latent dragon was about to emerge from the abyss.

Chang Ning felt a headache when he saw dozens of boxes of visiting cards in front of him. He waved his hands irritably and said, "Take them all away!"

Tingfeng and Yuxia hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to carry away the letters, and personally poured tea, served fruit, and refilled incense to avoid upsetting their master.

Seeing Chang Ning was upset, Zhui Yu wanted to please her: "Master, is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it for you? Or should we go for a walk in the garden? The weather is warm now, and the fish in the garden are jumping for air!"

At this time, the capital city was in a state of panic. No one knew whether Kangxi was going to die or not, and no one dared to make trouble, but there were undercurrents.

Changning didn't want to think about these brain-damaging things. He felt that life was short and he should enjoy it while he could!

So, holding a cup of grape milk tea in her hand, she munched on the freshly fried potato chips prepared by Eunuch Ma, and began to teach the maids around her how to play mahjong.

I have prepared mahjong a long time ago, but I haven't found the time to play it yet. So today is a good day to play it to my heart's content.

As soon as Changning touched the familiar little chicken, tears almost came out.

After living in the Qing Dynasty for so many years, if I hadn’t reminded myself from time to time, I would probably have thought that traveling through time to the modern era was just a dream!

"Master, how do we play this mahjong? It's really exquisite, a bit like leaf tiles." Zhui Yu was very interested and wanted to play it as soon as he picked it up.

Changning waved her hand and asked Chuixue, Zhuiyu and Tingfeng to play with her, while Yuxia was responsible for scooping up the remaining fish.

"Wow, wow, wow~"

Ah! It’s still a familiar recipe!
