The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

"What did you say? When did it happen?"

Changning has a headache.

The day after tomorrow we will set off for Mulan Paddock.

Unexpectedly, Tingfeng came to report that Concubine Mi was suddenly seriously ill.

Concubine Mi gave birth to three princes, the fifteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth.

Now the fifteenth and sixteenth princes are getting old. Yinzhen arranged marriages for them and selected wives some time ago. They will set up their own households after the wedding, but their titles have not been decided yet.

The Eighteenth Prince was an unlucky guy in history who should have died young, but Kangxi had a dream that foresaw it in advance and did not let him go to the Rehe Palace with him, so he was lucky enough to survive and is now a half-grown child.

As the Concubine Mi who gave birth to three imperial princes, she naturally had a relatively high status. Yinzhen also gave her some respect for the sake of her three younger brothers.

But today, for some reason, I suddenly fell seriously ill.

This surprised Chang Ning a little, and she quickly ordered someone to invite the imperial physician to check her out. After all, the concubine's matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either.

In addition to Toffee Mi, there is another person.

There are not many concubines in Shoukang Palace now, but the one with the highest status is still Xiao Tonggiya. She was originally a noble concubine, and after Yinzhen ascended the throne, he also canonized her as the Imperial Noble Consort.

I heard from the wind that the Imperial Concubine Dowager seemed to be in poor health.

Toffee Mi was infected by her.

Tong Jia clan...

Changning didn't have any special feelings for her. She was the younger sister of Empress Xiaoyi Ren and had no children in her life. She regarded her sister's wish as her own and treated Yinzhen with care. She often spoke for Yinzhen in front of the emperor.

Even though she became Yinzhen's concubine inexplicably because of the women of the Tonggiya clan, Changning did not hate them.

After all, in this era, women have no say in anything. Everyone has selfish desires, and marrying Yinzhen can be considered as finding a true husband.

I just don’t know if Yinzhen will be sad.

After all, Tingfeng meant that it looked like the Imperial Concubine was in trouble.

Changning sighed again, ordered the head of the Imperial Hospital to check her pulse personally, and then passed the news to Yinzhen.

Originally, Yinzhen was not so busy these days, but Mengguqing passed him a lot of news from Mongolia, and he has been studying Mongolian affairs these days.

Su Peisheng bent over and came in, telling him that both the Imperial Concubine and the Mi Concubine were ill. Yinzhen's pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't say much. He just handled things faster and then went to Shoukang Palace.

Changning didn't know what Yinzhen had said to little Tonggiya. She originally wanted to visit him for a day, but was stopped by the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother ordered someone to serve her a plate of dessert and said with a smile: "This mango pastry is a new dessert developed by the Imperial Kitchen. I am not used to the taste of mangoes, but I think you young people should like it. Come and try it."

Changning hasn't eaten mangoes for a long time, but there have been more of them in the palace recently. I heard from Yinzhen that they were presented by the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang. In addition to a lot of mangoes, there were also some jackfruits, which he said were best for fumigating the house. These were all collected by him in Taiwan.

Yinzhen didn't like the taste of mango very much either. He thought that the empress dowager was old and might like sweeter things, so he only sent mangoes to the Cining Palace and Chengqian Palace.

Changning thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness and tasted it with relish. It was sweet but not greasy, and had a hint of mango fragrance. It was really good.

It should be that the Queen Mother did not like the texture of mango pulp, so the imperial kitchen crushed it into juice and then made this snack with other glutinous rice flour.

Seeing Changning eating contentedly, the empress dowager felt better. She had known before that her son favored Fucha, who had not entered the palace and had never met her before. She just thought that it was because of the fourth son's temper.

But now that they've gotten along, the Queen Mother also likes her frank, generous and unpretentious nature.

Therefore, she is willing to give a few more suggestions on everything.

"You don't need to go visit Tong Jia. It's enough for the emperor to go and see her."

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Changning was stunned for a moment, and then began to think.

The Tonggiya clan was the late emperor’s maternal family, but there were few capable young men in the family. Longkodo was also dealt with by the late emperor, and now the family has lost its former glory.

Everyone thought that after Yinzhen ascended the throne, he would promote Tong Jia for the sake of Empress Xiaoyi Ren's favor.

However, if she was really promoted, it would do more harm than good to the current stable political situation, so Yinzhen did not want any rumors about Tong Jia to spread.

He went to visit because of the kindness that little Tong Jia had shown in the past to take care of him, but also because of Empress Xiaoyi Ren, so he had to go.

But if Changning went with them, and the emperor and empress visited at the same time, it would be inevitable that someone with ulterior motives would make trouble for Tong Jia, which would be bad.

After figuring it out, Changning nodded and answered obediently: "Don't worry, Madam Queen, I understand."

Seeing how smart she was, the Queen Mother was even more satisfied: "I always thought the Queen was straightforward, but I didn't expect she is so delicate and intelligent. It is a blessing for the Qing Dynasty to have such a Queen."

Chang Ning was overwhelmed by the sudden praise, and she didn't know why the Queen Mother praised her so highly, but she still accepted it with a smile, and even praised her back in return: "No way, the Qing Dynasty has a Queen Mother like the Emperor, who is the true mother of the country and a blessing to the country."

The two of them flirted with each other for a while, and then Hutuli came in like a gust of wind.

Her face was full of excitement, and as soon as she came in she shouted, "Madam, I just caught Qizui in the yard!"

Changning???

"Seven mouths?"

Hutuli saw his mother there and scratched his head awkwardly: "Mother, you are here too..."

The Queen Mother smiled and waved at Hutuli, explaining to Changning: "Qizui is a parrot that I raised. It was originally kept in a cage. Hutuli was kind-hearted and thought that it was restricted from freedom, so she let it out. Who knew that it would run away in an instant?"

Hutuli sat beside the Queen Mother with a smile on his face and said to Changning, "These seven mouths are flying very fast. They are almost reaching the upper study."

Changning was also surprised. It really flew quite far.

but……

"How did you catch it?" Changning expressed curiosity.

Hutuli was very proud and pulled out the exquisite slingshot on his waist: "I shot it down."

The Queen Mother liked the liveliness and majesty in her the most. She looked so energetic, and this was what a young and vigorous girl should be like.

"Hutuli's martial arts are getting better and better." The Queen Mother had to praise him, but she was still a little worried: "Hutuli is getting old, and Yierha is already looking for a marriage, so the princess has to choose a good candidate for her husband."
