The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

The Queen Mother won money playing cards today and was in a good mood. When she saw the Queen and Hutuli coming together, she smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Queen? Why did you bring this little devil with you?"

Chang Ning sat aside and told the Empress Dowager in detail about the construction of the playground in the Imperial Garden and letting the concubines run in circles. At the end, she added: "I should have reported this to the Empress Dowager earlier, but I was tripped up by something a few days ago. I hope the Empress Dowager will forgive me."

The Queen Mother happily drew cards, not taking the matter to heart at all, and even praised: "The Queen is clever and manages the harem very well. I have heard about that playground, it is really good. When I have time, I will go there to stretch my muscles.

Now that I am old, I will just enjoy the company of my grandchildren in the Cining Palace. If there are any issues in the harem in the future, the Queen will make the decision herself."

Changning understood what she meant, which was that she was going to retire and live a carefree life now, so there was no need to bother her and delay her happy retirement life.

Changning suddenly felt so envious!

She also wants to give up!

No wonder people say "lying down is the ultimate goal of life".

The other two young palace maids who were playing cards with the Queen Mother were also very tactful. They stood up and gave up their seats after the game.

"Queen, Hutuli, come here, both of you. Let's play together." The Queen Mother became interested and called Changning and Hutuli over to play together.

Hutuli had been jealous for a long time. She rubbed her hands and said, "Madam, I won't be polite. My card skills are really good now."

The Queen Mother burst out laughing: "Okay. Then let me see how powerful Hutu is."

So, a few people started playing mahjong together again.

After playing mahjong in the Cining Palace for an entire afternoon, when Changning returned to the Chengqian Palace, the sound of "Yaoji, Erbing" seemed to still be ringing in his ears.

Today in the court, Yinzhen has decided that Fourteenth Prince will lead his troops to fight against the Japanese pirates.

This time Fourteen was so happy that he jumped three feet high.

Yinzhen was originally worried that the empress dowager would be unhappy. After all, the empress dowager was very partial to her youngest son. But when he asked someone, he was told that the empress dowager was obsessed with playing mahjong in the Cining Palace. Upon hearing the news, he said nothing and won another big hand.

Only then did Yinzhen feel relieved.

However, war was a big event after all, and the pre-war preparations took a long time. Only then did he choose a convenient auspicious day and personally send Fourteenth out of the capital.

On the day when the Fourteenth Prince left the capital, his wife Wanyan specially went to the palace and came to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time.

Wanhe also came in.

She has two daughters of her own, and when she sees Yaertan and Unashi she likes them so much that she can't help comparing them with her own daughters.

"Look, the third and fourth princesses are really iconic, especially the fourth princess, whose skin is so delicate and fair. Don't mention our two little girls, they all look like the Fourteenth Master, and each one is darker than the other."

Listening to Wan He's merciless complaints about the Fourteenth Master, Chang Ning couldn't help laughing. Thinking that the Fourteenth Master was going to war today, he comforted him with a few kind words: "The Fourteenth Master is going to war now to make achievements. You should also do a good job of logistics for him in the capital. If you have any troubles, you can tell me directly. Although our status is different, we have been friends for so many years, so please don't be estranged from me."

Wan He was touched when she heard Chang Ning say this. The two of them had been friends before simply because they valued each other's personalities, which was why they got along so well.

However, originally the two were in the same situation, both were favored concubines, but later, Changning became the queen. The change in status made Wanhe a little worried, but who knew that Changning was still the same Changning, and did not put on airs.

Wanhe not only abided by the rules of the palace, but was also happy that Changning treated her as close as before.

"Don't worry, sister. The Fourteenth Master is not a reliable person. He has been away from home for many years. I have experience. Now Hongchun is old enough. I will ask my son to do anything."

Changning pulled her hand and said, "Don't worry, the next selection will be for these boys to choose wives. The emperor also told me to pay attention and choose a good one for Hongchun. When the time comes, you can also tell me in advance which show girl you like."

Wanhe was really happy this time, but she never worried about her son. As for her son, even if his wife was not to her liking, it didn't matter if he married a concubine or a maid. She was worried about her daughter.

"Sister. I heard that we are going to Mulan Qiumi this month?"

Chang Ning nodded: "Although the Fourteenth Master is not here, you and the Fourteenth Lady can still go with him to relax."

Wan He smiled and replied: "That would be great. But this is the first Mulan Autumn Festival since His Majesty ascended the throne. I wonder if the Mongolians will come together?"

Chang Ning understood her hidden meaning and patted her hands to comfort her: "Don't worry. As long as Mongolia can be controlled, our royal princesses will not suffer any injustice."

Wanhe smiled even more happily this time.

When Yinzhen came back in the evening, he also talked about Fourteenth's expedition, but he seemed to have a lot of emotion.

"Fourteen was a young boy at first, and he would often throw bugs into my shoes. Every day, he would either make the other brothers angry or the master angry. I had to clean up his mess a lot since he was little.

Now, he can finally stand up."

While feeling the passing of time, Yinzhen also expressed his affirmation of the Fourteenth Prince's growth, and also expressed his expectations: "I hope that this time he can guard against arrogance and impatience and win a great victory."

Of course Changning had to form a united front with Yinzhen.

"Alas, if Yi Erha could be like Fourteen and establish herself as the emperor sooner rather than later." Yinzhen felt a headache when he thought of his eldest daughter. Then he thought of his equally naughty son Hongchen. "How is Hongchen these days? Has he gotten into trouble again?"

Chang Ning couldn't help laughing: "I didn't cause any trouble, I just picked the flowers planted by the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace and made them into bookmarks. I said I learned it from Hutuli and even gave me one."

Yinzhen was surprised: "He also gave me one!"

The couple looked at each other and laughed.

"This is really true." Yinzhen was a little helpless, "Is the Empress Dowager not angry?"

Chang Ning shook her head: "How can I be really angry? After Hongchen finished making it, he gave it to the Empress Dowager first. The Empress Dowager kept praising him for being considerate and filial. It's just that I can't help but feel a little hurt."

Yinzhen laughed in silence: "Let's ask the flower house to send some of the cultivated precious flower seeds to mother tomorrow."

Changning nodded.

"In ten days, we will set out for Mulan Paddock. Let's take the children with us this time."
