The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

The next morning, spring rolls were indeed served.

Yinzhen picked up the thin pancake, rolled some shredded potatoes in it, stir-fried some mixed vegetables, and also picked up a few chopsticks of braised beef in soy sauce. It really had a seasonal flavor.

In addition to the spring rolls, Eunuch Ma also had a dish of golden fried eggs and particularly tender stewed tofu. Yinzhen had a bowl of millet porridge with these two dishes and felt his stomach was very soothed.

Changning got up early today, which was rare. She ate the spring rolls with relish, but she was also worried about Yinzhen's health. It was not so easy in the palace. The only one who really cared about whether Yinzhen had a meal was probably Su Peisheng.

Given his status, there must be many people in the palace watching him closely. It would definitely not be possible to ask him to eat well while the emperor is seriously ill. For the sake of his reputation as a filial son, it would be better for him to starve for a few days and look pale and thin, so as to highlight the deep love between father and son.

But this person is about to suffer a great sin.

Logically speaking, Changning should also enter the palace with them, but now is a time of turmoil, and Concubine De specifically sent a message, asking Changning to watch Hutuli and Yierha carefully to learn the rules, and wait for the Golden Festival to allow the two princesses to enter the palace.

It’s only April now, and the Golden Award Ceremony will be in October.

The queen meant that there was no need to enter the palace recently to avoid causing trouble.

The closer it gets to this point, the more we need to keep our composure.

Changning had no choice but to ask Eunuch Ma to make more roujiamo, egg-filled pancakes and the like. These things are small and can be eaten by holding them in the hand, and they do not require much effort.

After the meal, Yinzhen called all the children together and gave them a few more instructions, asking them not to go out for the next few days and to come to the wife first if anything happened or any situation arose.

The children also knew the importance of the matter and nodded in agreement.

Yinzhen looked at Changning again before turning around and leaving the house.

After Yinzhen left the house, the children all turned their heads to look at Changning, with a look of panic on their faces.

Chang Ning didn't want to make them worry, so he smiled and said, "It's a beautiful spring day today. Although it's not easy to go out, we can still enjoy the spring here. Why don't we go to the garden for a barbecue?"

Hearing that their mother was going to take them out to play, the children were all excited, with Hong Zhao being the most enthusiastic: "Okay, okay! Mother! I can bake! I can bake! I learned how to bake the last time I went out with my sister and brother!"

Chang Ning looked at his confident and positive look and wanted to laugh: "Okay, okay, I'll let you roast it."

Hongmin and Hongchen are in an active stage, and they both run behind Hongzhao like two followers.

Hutuli smiled and took Changning's arm: "Mother, is it really okay for Ama to enter the palace?"

Chang Ning tapped her forehead with his finger: "You are just a kid, why are you worrying so much? Are you afraid that your father will be eaten? The Forbidden City is his home, he is just going back home, what's the big deal."

Hutuli was immediately relieved. From the tone of her mother's voice, Ama must be fine. What's more, her words were so domineering! The Forbidden City is Ama's home!

Perhaps fearing that this statement might be misunderstood, Chang Ning added: "The princes' homes are all there, and Thirteen and Fourteen are going along this time."

"Have Uncle Thirteen and Uncle Fourteen also entered the palace?" When Hutuli heard that his two uncles were also there, he felt more confident that his father had helpers.

It’s no wonder the children were worried. The news that the emperor was seriously ill was really alarming.

The darkness before dawn is often the most chaotic and the most difficult to endure, because all kinds of monsters and demons will come out to cause trouble.

The children are precocious and are no longer at the age where they know nothing. However, Changning doesn't want them to worry too much at such a young age. There will be plenty of things to worry about in the future, so why rush?

So she took the children happily to prepare the barbecue, and asked someone to go to Yierha and Honghui to see if they were willing to come along.

Although they had weak stomachs and couldn't eat much, this was a rare opportunity for the brothers and sisters to spend time together, so the two of them didn't hesitate and went into the garden.

Honghui and Yierha met on the road and walked together.

"Big sister." Honghui called out, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth yet.

Yi Erha knew what he was thinking and took the initiative to say: "I am doing well, and the things that my mother left me are all well preserved. If you want them, I will have someone send them to you."

It was unclear whether Honghui's face was sad or happy. After a long while, he shook his head and said softly: "No need."

Yi Erha knew that he was sad, but he never dared to show it in front of others, so he could only comfort him a few more times: "Honghui, the mother said before that she only has two children, us two. We must live well, only then will she be happy."

As soon as he said this, Honghui almost couldn't hold back his tears. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves and spoke with a slight pause: "I know. Everyone advises me to think more positively, and I also want to...but..."

Yi Erha's gentle voice sounded: "You still have relatives in this mansion. Father, me, Chun'er Niang, and brothers and sisters are all your relatives. Honghui, it doesn't matter if we are from different mothers. As long as we are connected by blood, we are relatives. Don't isolate yourself and think that your mother is gone and you are the only one left. Being too obsessed with grief will only make you suffer."

Honghui is actually very smart and sensitive. He has tried his best to make himself better, hoping to protect the Ulanara clan for his mother in the future. But sometimes, he still feels a little lonely.

In the whole mansion, he is the only child without a mother.

Yi Erha had said all she could, and she couldn't say too much. She still had to think things through on her own. Besides, her mother had also said that one should not advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering.

The two of them walked all the way to the palace garden in silence.

Honghui took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood, and tried his best to put on a gentle smile.

In spring, the flowers are all vying with each other for beauty and blooming brilliantly.

Hongyang is two years old now and can walk quite well. He is not as old as Hongmin and Hongchen, so it is a rather awkward age for him to study in the study room. Changning also feels a little guilty.

There were several older brothers studying in the study, and they were all watched by Yinzhen every day.

There is a baby brother and two sisters below, which makes it even more troublesome.

This makes Hongyang, who is in the middle, look a little pitiful.

However, he is not a person who cares too much. He has the most beautiful face among all the children and is still very eye-catching.

When Changning held him in her arms, she sometimes felt that none of her three daughters were as gentle and charming as her son.

Hongyang also likes beautiful things and hates ugly things.

As soon as Honghui and Yierha came over, he waved and shouted: "Big brother! Big sister!"

Honghui never came empty-handed. Every time he met his younger brothers, he had some food in his pocket.
