The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

The two princesses' processions soon arrived. Changning heard that Prince Yi had been waiting nearby for a long time. She almost cried in public as she hadn't seen her two sisters for a long time. She couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Recalling that Concubine Min had just passed away, Prince Yi was not valued and his two younger sisters were sent to the palaces of different concubines. Later, they were successively sent to different concubines. Prince Yi was anxious and angry, and Yinzhen was busy for a long time.

But now, one of them holds a high position and has become a prince, highly valued by the emperor. The other two princesses did not die early as written in history, but all listened to advice, learned from Princess Haibang, took on their own responsibilities, and possessed exceptionally great power in the Mongolian tribe, providing a solid foundation for Yinzhen to further control Mongolia.

Changning could probably guess what Yinzhen, Prince Yi and the two princesses talked about. First they reminisced about the past, then they should have learned about the situation in Mongolia, and then they were preparing to station Qing officials in depth and send troops to further strengthen control.

After talking about serious matters, it’s time to talk about family matters.

Changning thought that they must want to sit down and have a good chat as a family, and it would be inconvenient if they lit a bonfire outside.

So we decided to hold the banquet in the yurt.

Thinking that the two princesses had lived in Mongolia for a long time and had not returned to Beijing for a long time, Changning specially ordered someone to make some snacks that the princesses liked.

When everyone was seated in the evening, Wen Ke and Princess Dun Ke were a little stunned when they saw the familiar yet unfamiliar snacks, and then they felt infinite pain in their hearts.

Chang Ning smiled and consoled them, "I know that the two princesses probably like sweet food, so I specially ordered people to make the popular chestnut cake in Beijing, as well as lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake. They are sweet and not greasy. Princess, try them. Do you like them?"

These two snacks are common foods in Qing Dynasty palace dramas. Changning thought that they might have the habit of eating them.

Princess Wen Ke was older, so she was the first to speak, with a look of gratitude on her face: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern. I have long heard that you are kind and tolerant, and today I finally saw it. Your heart towards me is truly sincere."

Changning saw that Princess Wen Ke had a gentle personality, so she thought that she must have been obedient and respectful in the palace. The climate in Mongolia was a little bit cold and bitter, which really made things difficult for her. Although she was young, she had many fine lines around her eyes and her face looked tired. It seemed that her life in Mongolia was not as easy as she had imagined.

She also wanted to try her best to make the princess feel a little more at ease, so she replied: "The princess came to Mongolia, which is the status and face of our Qing Dynasty. Now, I came from the capital and brought a lot of special local rituals, which can be given to my two sisters as a consolation."

Dun Ke was younger and more lively. Seeing Chang Ning's gentle and easy-going nature, his defenses gradually lowered. He smiled and said, "That's great. Thank you, sister-in-law, for thinking of us. Mongolia is good everywhere, except that the wind and sand are a bit strong. If you go out, sister-in-law, please remember to protect your skin."

Prince Yi and Yinzhen Changning were more familiar with each other, and they were also very grateful at this moment: "The emperor's sister-in-law has always been as one with my brother and his wife, and she loves my younger brothers and sisters, which really makes me ashamed. I dare not forget the kindness of my brother and sister-in-law all the time. It is difficult to repay them even if I am grateful for your kindness."

Seeing his beloved Thirteenth Brother speaking like this, Yinzhen could no longer sit still: "Alas! Old Thirteenth Brother! What are you talking about? The late Emperor has always warned us brothers to be friendly and respectful to each other, united and loving. How can we just sit back and do nothing? I treat you as my own brothers and sisters, and only then will I take care of you. Don't say such distant words in the future, which will only alienate the relationship between us."

After Yinzhen said this, the three people below could only nod their heads to express their gratitude.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the banquet was almost ready, Yinzhen was the first to raise his chopsticks: "Okay, no more talking, let's start eating. Today's menu was prepared by the Queen herself. You are so lucky, I usually can't eat the dishes prepared by the Queen."

Yinzhen was in a rare good mood today and even made a joke.

Changning just smiled and said nothing. Yinzhen was really afraid that she would be angry, so he personally picked up a piece of braised mutton for her: "Eat more, Queen. Riding a horse consumes your energy."

The emperor and the empress, who were sitting on the throne, were very loving to each other. The three people sitting below could see it clearly and thought to themselves that the empress was truly in great favor. Since she entered the palace, they had almost never seen the emperor have anyone else in his heart or eyes. They guessed that ordinary couples in the folk should be like this too.

Prince Yi is fine. Now his relationship with the Thirteenth Concubine Zhao Jia Yun Chun is getting sweeter and sweeter. They have also given birth to several children together. He can probably understand his brother's infatuation with the Queen.

Princess Wen Ke has had a lot of worries recently. Since she married her husband, she has always wanted a child, but she has never gotten pregnant. She felt a little sorry for her husband, and at the same time, she also put a lot of pressure on herself, which led to wrinkles all over her face at such a young age.

But when she saw how gentle and considerate her brother was to the queen, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. Why couldn't she meet such a good man? Could it be that the Aixinjueluo family was really specialized in producing infatuated seeds?

Princess Dunke was a little younger and more lively, but she had very little affection for her husband. She thought that all couples in the world were the same and there was no real love between them, it was nothing more than an exchange of interests.

But now seeing her brother and his wife, she was deeply touched and said with envy: "My brother and his wife have such a good relationship."

Yinzhen and Changning looked at each other and smiled.

Princess Dunke knew she had said something out of turn and dared not say anything more. She just lowered her head to eat the food. The table full of delicacies only reminded her of her past days in the palace.

Thinking back to the conversation with my brother just now, as long as I can help my brother firmly control Mongolia, there will be no need for princesses from the capital to come to Mongolia to pacify Mongolia in the future.

Although Dun Ke felt that the Mongolian grasslands gave her more freedom and power, it would be better if she had the opportunity to stay in Beijing. She was willing to do her best so that the girls behind her would no longer have to live in Mongolia.

The meeting with the two princesses went very smoothly.

The next day, Changning specially brought Hutuli and Yierha to meet Wenke and Dunke.

Yierha had never seen these two princess aunts before. In other words, she had never seen any other princesses except herself and her sisters, so she was full of curiosity.

Although Hutuli was ordered to go and meet them, he only met the two princesses and never chatted with them.

Wen Ke and Dun Ke both specially prepared gifts for the meeting, especially Dun Ke. She particularly liked Hutuli's personality and her fearlessness. She thought that this was how a daughter of a royal family should be. Her eyes showed deep envy. She most hoped to live like Hutuli.

Full of love, full of courage, full of fearlessness.
