The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Changning just found it funny, but she felt soft in her heart. After so many years, she had already known Yinzhen's sincerity and respect for her.

Yinzhen truly treated her as his wife, as the person he would spend his life with.

Not to say that he can't live without me and puts me first in everything, just saying that he can put himself on the same level as me is already very rare in ancient times when imperial power was dominant.

Su Peisheng felt this even more deeply.

As long as it has anything to do with the Empress, it will be a big deal, and even the Emperor's own affairs will have to be put on the back burner.

Just because the Empress liked glass, the Emperor set up a glass envoy after he ascended the throne, who was solely responsible for finding glass that could be made for the Empress.

Moreover, a man as noble as Wansui would only not call himself "I" in front of the Empress, and would only be able to show different emotions from when he is with others.

Therefore, Changning understood very well his idea of ​​wanting her to accompany him in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. It was just like when you were annoyed and tired at work, you wanted your husband to be there to give you some comfort and encouragement. It was not a big deal.

Chang Ning agreed readily: "No problem, but I'll come over when I'm free."

Yinzhen's eyes lit up, and he kissed her all over: "Good, good, good, my sweetheart, my sweet baby, my sweet Jiaojiao!"

Changning knew that he was a reserved person, but she didn't want him to be to this extent. She was so embarrassed that her face almost blushed, but the corners of her mouth were raised high.

Inside the Yangxin Palace, several ministers were busy as hell. They finally figured out what was going on, but when they looked up, the emperor had disappeared. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Qilin stepped forward at the right time and said, "The emperor has something to do and has gone to the side hall. You all may take a rest first. The queen has ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare dinner."

Only then did they realize that it was the Queen who had arrived.

Ertai smiled and said, "Please convey our gratitude to you, eunuch. Thank you for your concern, Queen."

Zhang Tingyu and others secretly cursed him for being quick-witted and good at flattering, and then one after another thanked the Queen.

When we arrived at the dining table, we saw a steaming pot bubbling in the middle, with a dozen plates of mutton on the side, as well as various vegetables, vermicelli, noodles, fish fillets, shrimp balls, etc. It was a very rich meal.

Smelling the fresh aroma of mutton, several people swallowed their saliva secretly, and their stomachs became even more upset.

Ortai bowed again and praised the emperor and empress for their kindness.

Zhang Qilin smiled and said, "Please make yourselves at ease, my Lords. The Emperor has just ordered that after dinner, you can return home to rest. Thank you for your hard work today."

"No, no, it's still the emperor who works the hardest. We, the officials, are just trying to do our humble part." Zhang Tingyu finally interrupted Ortai before he could open his mouth.

Ortai was interrupted, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Zhang, what you said makes sense! Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Having such a wise emperor is a blessing for our Qing Dynasty and the people!"

Zhang Qilin listened to a lot of flattery from the emperor and empress before he stepped down.

This group of ministers looked at each other.

Then roll up your sleeves and start eating hotpot!

Ah! It smells so good!

Tian Wenjing was born in a humble family, and he had been trembling with fear ever since he was promoted by the emperor. He never expected to have such a delicious meal, and he ate with such relish!

"This mutton is so delicious, worthy of being a palace meal. It's different from the mutton from the Liu family." Seeing that his colleagues were not putting on airs, Tian Wenjing simply ate more freely.

"Of course, this is the result of His Majesty's wise governance..." Ortai opened his mouth and was about to start speaking again, but the other ministers suddenly felt dizzy.

You are the only one who flatters others every day!

Ortai was also wronged. He was not valued at all during the reign of Kangxi. Fortunately, he had good vision and followed the right leader. As a result, his position rose with the tide. Seeing a bright future, he naturally never forgot to show his loyalty.

Yinzhen was satisfied and Changning laughed when she heard Su Peisheng say that all the adults were already having their meals and enjoying them very much, and that they were all grateful for the emperor and empress's kindness.

"It's just a meal. It's not a big favor." Changning smiled helplessly. They also had a hot pot meal today. She was eating a piece of tender lamb and dipping it in sesame sauce, which made her mouth full of fragrance.

Yinzhen had a different view: "Knowing how to be grateful can be considered as having a heart. Ortai is a talented and loyal person."

Changning didn't want to talk about work while eating, so he quickly picked up a piece of meat for him and blocked his mouth.

Yinzhen burst out laughing.

"It's almost the New Year, and there are many things to do both inside and outside the palace. If you can't handle it, let Hutuli and Yierha take care of it for you. You can make the decisions on major matters yourself."

Chang Ning nodded: "They are my right-hand men now. With them around, I can be much more relaxed. After they get married, they will be able to stand on their own."

Yinzhen ate a piece of frozen tofu soaked in soup and found it very delicious. When he was with Changning, he never followed the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping.

"After the New Year, Yierha will be sixteen. I have already informed the Guaerjia clan in advance. I will issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage in March next year."

Chang Ning hesitated a little: "Why not let them meet first? Let's get to know each other first? The person you picked must be fine. I've also asked about Fashan. He is indeed a good person. I just don't know if Yi Erha is willing... After all, we still hope that she can live a happy life."

Speaking of this, the two of them couldn't help but think of the previous incident. Yinzhen frowned and said, "Yierha is not determined, I'm afraid there will be trouble again."

Chang Ning heard the tone of voice and it seemed that the last incident still left a knot in his heart, so he couldn't help but speak for her: "The child is still young, and the girl is in love, so it's normal for her to lose control for a while. Every experience makes you wiser. Yi Erha has been upset for so many days, so don't mention it again in the future."

Yinzhen snorted coldly: "What's wrong with my daughter? Isn't it because the Ulanara family didn't educate the people in the family well? Well, the Guarjia family has a good family tradition. After the New Year, find a reason to let them meet."

Yinzhen still loved his children very much and was not that old-fashioned, because he knew clearly that rules were used to restrain the people, not to restrain him. He was the one responsible for making the rules.

After convincing Yinzhen, Changning also breathed a sigh of relief. This precedent set for Yierha made things even easier for Hutuli.

Seeing that Yierha was about to get married, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to prepare a dowry, but there was also the portion left to her by the late wife, as well as some that she had accumulated over the years. Changning thought that she had to get out the list when she got home and think about it carefully.
