The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Seeing his mother's incredulous look and the scrutinizing gaze she gave him, Hong Zhao was still a little confused.

"Son, you...you want to wear a skirt? It's too hot?"

Hearing what his mother said, Hong Zhao's face turned red and he waved his hands quickly: "Mother, what are you talking about! I want to give it to Na Ritai."

"Oh, for Nari-tae. What? For Nari-tae?"

As he spoke, Changning's tone suddenly became higher.

How did the plot turn out like this?

Hong Zhao then confessed everything: "I told Naritai that my brother could fly, so she gave me a wolf skin, but I lied to her. It should be the monkey brother who can fly. I feel a little embarrassed, so I want to give her a piece of clothing as an apology."

Changning twitched his lips. Naritai still had a good temper... If Hutuli was teased like this, she would beat Hongzhao to the roof of the yurt.

However, when she heard that someone had sent a wolf skin, Changning thought it was okay to give a skirt as a return gift. After all, the wolf skin was much more precious and was privately collected by Prince Durbert.

However, if I send it in Hong Zhao's name, it will always arouse suspicion, so it is better to send it in her name, and send more items to cover it up. This is also to protect the two children.

"Sure, no problem. Besides the sky blue one, you can pick a few more for her." Changning agreed readily.

Hong Zhao was overjoyed: "Really, mother! I knew you were the best! I think the lilac, moon white, scarlet, goose yellow, vine purple, and pomegranate dresses are all beautiful. She has only worn Mongolian clothes and has not tried our Beijing dresses yet!"

Changning (??w??)??

"You kid have planned this all along!" Changning looked him up and down, wow, it seems that Hongzhao is still a warm-hearted man.

Hong Zhao smiled awkwardly: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, let's just do these few pieces. Let Yuxia cut out the material and have the people from the needlework department make them. It will only take one day and they can be delivered tomorrow."

Hong Zhao nodded with anticipation on his face. He didn't know what Na Ritai's expression would be when she received this gift. It must be very interesting. She should be very happy knowing that it was given by him. At least she wouldn't call him a little dog anymore.

And she should like these colors. She has fair skin, so they will definitely look good on her.

Changning felt that her son was in love, and she had evidence, but she couldn't stop him. After all, things between young people were hard to predict.

Nowadays, many children are planning to get married in kindergarten, but forget about it when they enter primary school. It is also common for children to have several girlfriends in primary school.

It's just the innocent friendship between kids, so don't tarnish it.

"Oh, by the way, mother, Naritai said she wants to go back to the capital with us, is that okay? I also want to invite her to visit the capital, as she has never been out of the grassland."

Seeing Hong Zhao's eager eyes, Chang Ning paused and said, "Of course it's possible, but Prince Durbert may not agree!"

"Why didn't he agree?"

Just kidding, looking at Naritai's appearance, you can tell that she must be a very favored daughter. How could she let her precious daughter go to the capital for no reason? Not to mention that Mongolia is so far away from the capital, just saying that sending a young girl to the capital is either to be a hostage, or to sell her daughter for fame and fortune, or to get married.

Even families in the Qing Dynasty who loved their daughters were unwilling to support Mongolia, and the same was naturally true for Mongolia.

A Mongolian prince who truly loves his daughter would not do this.

Changning did not hide it from him. Hongzhao was a royal prince and did not need her to build a safe house for him. When he came to Eden, he would be exposed to more realistic and darker things in the future, so there was no need to hide it from him.

Changning told the truth, and Hongzhao was a little disappointed, but he could understand it because Changning told him the story from a different angle. For example, if Hongzhao was asked to not live in the capital but stay in Mongolia, his father and mother would definitely not agree.

Hong Zhao lowered his head.

Changning couldn't bear to see his son's lost look.

For Hong Zhao, Na Ritai must be a very precious and special friend...

"It's okay. We can come to Mulan Paddock every year, and you can meet each other then. You can also bring some delicious food and fun things from Beijing to her. A true confidant doesn't depend on distance. There's a line in a poem that goes, 'A bosom friend is a friend indeed. When you are at a crossroads, your children will weep together.'"

Hong Zhao nodded: "Na Ritai told me that she would write to me and asked me to write to her about some interesting things in the capital."

Chang Ning smoothed his collar and said gently, "Of course you can, you can be pen pals from now on."

"What is a pen pal?" Hong Zhao tilted his head. It was the first time he heard this term.

Changning thought about it and explained to him: "It means someone who relies on writing letters to maintain friendship."

Hong Zhao suddenly realized: "It means we can't meet in person, so we are good friends who usually communicate through letters, right?"

Changning gave a thumbs up: "Hongzhao is awesome!"

"Then I will talk to Naritai later. If Prince Durbert disagrees, we can just be pen pals."

Hongzhao, who successfully found a solution, became happy again. Changning felt that the children's world was so simple and beautiful.

Yinzhen has been busy these two days, even on the grassland he has been busy handling government affairs.

Since he ascended the throne, he has always wanted to deal with the Cao and Li families in Jiangnan.

In his opinion, these two companies are like blood-sucking leeches. Now that they are full, it is time for them to spit out the blood.

He planned to ask Old Thirteen to do this, but now he is also responsible for military supplies in the northwest. If he goes to Jiangnan again, he may not be able to cope with it.

But he was worried about leaving this matter to others.

The Cao and Li families have deep roots and enormous wealth; the taxes in Jiangnan alone are equal to the taxes in several other cities combined.

The war now requires a large amount of money and food, and raiding their homes will just alleviate the loss of the national treasury.

This person must not only have the ability, but also have a bottom line, be able to stick to it, be loyal enough, and not value money, so as not to be won over by these two companies.

After much deliberation in the court, Yinzhen finally chose Changhua.

He was the eldest son of the Fucha family, and naturally he looked down upon more wealth. Moreover, he was a practical man, and capable. Now that the promotion of cowpox was proceeding in an orderly manner, there was no need to keep an eye on everything.

After the enthronement, there was nothing important to do in the Ministry of Rites.

So after much thought, Yinzhen decided to send Changhua to Jiangnan to handle the affairs of these two families.

A secret decree was sent from Mulan Paddock to the capital. After receiving it, Changhua immediately packed his luggage and prepared to leave.

As soon as Duo Xihui finished class, he saw his father preparing to go out. He rushed over excitedly: "Father! Father! Where are you going? What errand? Can you take me with you?"

Changhua raised his eyebrows: "Have you finished memorizing the book?"
