The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

In March, the weather is warm and the breeze is gentle.

Socho Luo entered the palace again.

But this time, she entered the palace to arrange Duo Xihun's marriage.

"The candidates I mentioned to you last time are the daughter of Li Fu, the governor of Zhili, and Tulichen's daughter. I think both girls are good. Now is the right time. Why don't you summon them to the palace and observe their character?"

Changning had already discussed this with her mother. After all, this concerned the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Fucha family, so of course she had to look at it personally.

"Okay, no problem. Then I will issue an order now to have them enter the palace on the third day of next month, okay?"

"The third day of the new year?" Suochuoro thought for a while, "Isn't this Hongyan and Hutuli's birthday?"

Chang Ning nodded: "Originally, the emperor wanted to hold a grand banquet and invite all the ministers to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but it has been less than a year since the death of the previous emperor, so it is not appropriate to hold a grand banquet. I thought that I could use this as an excuse to invite the two ladies and their daughter to the palace."

Suo Cho Luo nodded: "That's good. It's a legitimate reason, and there aren't too many people here, so it's convenient to talk."

The mother and daughter then finalized some details, and only then did Socholo leave the palace contentedly.

When Yinzhen came over in the evening, Changning told him about this: "My mother has chosen the girls from these two families for now and asked me to help her make a selection. Let's see what the children's character is like and whether they can be the wife of the Fucha clan."

Yinzhen also felt that Duoxihui's wife could not be chosen casually, after all, this position was crucial. A good clan wife could continue the glory of the family for three generations.

"Both families are good. My mother-in-law has good vision. Li Fu has a good reputation and is a talented official. I plan to promote him to a higher position. As for Turichen, he is also a capable minister of the Qing Dynasty. He is indispensable for our diplomacy with Russia."

Changning was very satisfied with the family background of both families, but compared with family background, the girl's personal character and ability were more important.

After all, the Fucha family does not need a very prominent family background to maintain their reputation. Their family is already a top noble family, so they value individuals more.

Duo Xihun is lively and capable, but he always has a bit of the chivalrous and unrestrained spirit of a young man, so it would be better for his other half to be more dignified and stable.

A husband and wife must have some common language, and if their personalities complement each other, they can make up for their shortcomings in dealing with things.

Speaking of Duoxihun, Changning also mentioned Yierha's marriage: "After meeting these two girls next month, arrange for Yierha and Fashan to meet and see if the children can get along. After all, the princess's marriage is different from Duoxihun's. The main thing is that she can live happily."

Yinzhen did not object either. As long as it was something Changning said, he would rarely deny it.

"How has Hongyang adapted to the South Third Institute these past two days?"

Changning went to see her son several times. Every time she saw him, he was cheerful and seemed to be fine, but she couldn't help asking him a few more times.

Seeing that she was worrying about this and that, Yinzhen sighed that Changning was working hard, and quickly held her in his arms and kissed her cheek: "The boy is fine, he is heartless, don't worry about him. But you, why do you feel thinner these days? Have you asked Baishu to help you take care of your body?"

"Maybe it's because I wore too much in the winter, so I looked a little plump. Recently, my clothes have become thinner, so I look thinner."

"Nonsense, I sleep with you every day, how can I not know what your figure is like?"

Chang Ning snickered: "I'm fine, but Your Majesty, you've become a little rounder lately. You had abdominal muscles before, but now you feel plump."

Yinzhen was a little embarrassed for a rare moment, probably because of his age. He had too many political affairs to deal with after ascending the throne. When he was in the palace, he could go to the training ground to practice a few times every day, but now he can hardly go there once a month.

After being reminded by Changning, he also felt that it was inappropriate and decided to prepare for morning exercises after tomorrow.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I heard that the concubines in the harem go to the playground of the imperial garden to run every day. After six months of persistence, everyone has made significant improvements. It is said that now even the oldest concubine Qian can run five laps in one breath without changing her expression or heartbeat.

If he continued to slack off like this, would he not even be able to compare with the women in his own harem in the future? Yinzhen thought it was unreasonable.

However, he does not need to focus on running like the concubines. He is more inclined to maintain his health, so he practices a set of Hua Tuo's Five Animal Exercises in the morning.

When Changning got up in the morning, she found that Yinzhen was nowhere to be seen. She felt very strange. She didn't have to attend the morning court today. Could he be in the study?

As soon as I went out, I saw him doing some strange movements in the yard.

After finally finishing the set of exercises, Yinzhen's forehead was slightly sweaty. He took a few long breaths and felt his body was much more relaxed.

Seeing Changning getting up and coming out, he smiled and waved: "Come, I'll teach you, this is Hua Tuo's Five Animals Exercises, practice it well, it will strengthen your body."

After saying that, Yinzhen performed the first move, the Monkey Lift.

Changning "emmmmm"

Why do I feel so guilty about stealing?

His hands were hunched over and placed in front of his chest like a mouse, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't practice anymore. I can do square dancing, which is also good for my body and easier to stick to."

Changning declined politely and a few days ago, she specially called the palace music band and sang some famous songs of Phoenix Legend to them and asked them to rehearse. When the time comes, they will be on the playground, with the band accompanying them with "Madam Shexiang", "I Come from the Grassland" and "The Most Dazzling National Style" while they will lead the concubines to stretch their muscles.

Dancing every night will help you stay healthy and live longer.

Now the music troupe of the Southern Palace has finished rehearsing, and in the morning they asked Zhao Fuhai to pass on the message, waiting to be summoned by the Queen Mother at any time.

After listening to Changning's idea, Yinzhen also found it interesting and agreed that he would come to watch it in the evening.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, all the concubines arrived.

In the morning, they received an imperial decree, saying that they should gather at the playground of the Imperial Garden at 4 p.m., as the Empress Dowager had new instructions.

Everyone was talking about it.

"Tell me what new ideas the Queen has come up with. Are we going to increase the number of laps we run?" Yupin felt her heart tremble.

Ningpin thought that it shouldn't be possible: "It shouldn't be. We have been running for more than half a year. The queen is also satisfied with our results. I think there may be something new."

Tang Guiren was very excited: "I think it's the most interesting thing to play with my sisters."
