The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Although the two ladies wanted to behave well, they did not dare to act unruly in front of the Empress and Madam Fucha, so they talked and laughed very politely.

Chang Ning's eyes kept lingering on the two little girls, and he simply asked with a smile: "You two ladies' daughters are very well educated. I wonder what they do in their spare time at home?"

Madam Li quickly glanced at her daughter, and Miss Li was the first to stand up: "To answer your Majesty, I have been taught by my father since I was young and read history books in the mansion."

"Oh?" Changning was really a little surprised. Nowadays, few people educate their daughters and let them read history books.

Generally speaking, girls were either taught to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or do knitting, or to learn horse riding and archery to maintain the demeanor of Manchu girls.

But those who read history books... are really extraordinary.

Changning felt that Lord Li Fu might have a big request.

The standard for training a daughter is not low. To put it bluntly, if one did not want his daughter to be a female official, the reason why he would focus so much on training her to be smart and perceptive is definitely because he wants her to be the mistress of the house or a model for the country.

"Which line in The Strategies of the Warring States do you like best?"

Faced with the Queen's sudden question, Miss Li nodded calmly and replied: "Your Majesty, I like the wise to be respectful in their duties and the knowledgeable to be humble in their resignation."

What a good layout...

Chang Ning knew what was going on, so he asked with a smile, "What's Miss Li's maiden name?"

"Your Majesty, my name is Sui Tan."

"Sui Tan? Any idea where it came from?"

Li Suitan is graceful and generous, with a faint smile on her face, which makes people feel close to her without feeling offended.

"Replying to the Queen, it means to be at peace and at ease, and to be like sandalwood every year."

Chang Ning nodded, thinking that this girl was good. Although she only said a few words, she was clear and coherent, neither humble nor overbearing, and quite graceful. She was not nervous when she met the queen for the first time, but was generous and generous, which made people like her easily.

After saying this, Changning turned around and looked at another one.

but……

Why did this girl from the Ayan Gioro clan look at Li Suitan with shining eyes, as if she truly admired her and was surprised and in awe of her for reading so many history books?

It’s not that Changning can read minds, but her expression is too obvious, like a blank piece of paper. One glance and you can tell what she is thinking.

This is a girl with a pure mind.

"What's your name?"

Hearing Changning's voice, the girl seemed to have just turned around, showing a dazed look, and muttered: "Your Majesty, I can play chess, play the flute, do housework, ride a horse, and cook, but I am not proficient in any of them..."

She deeply interpreted what it means to "fly with your mouth in front and chase with your brain behind."

"Ah?" Changning was stunned for a moment.

What did she just ask?

The question is "What's your name?"

Wasn't she asking the right question?

Or is my memory confused?

Not only Changning was in a mess, but everyone present was in a mess.

Mrs. Tulichen almost fainted when she saw her daughter doing something stupid again, but luckily she remembered that this was in Chengqian Palace, in front of the Empress, so she tried her best to resist the urge to faint. She pulled her daughter's sleeve and whispered, "The Empress asked what your name is? What's wrong with you?"

The girl finally realized what was happening, her face flushed, and she quickly replied, "Your Majesty, my name is Yuyi... I just said something wrong, I know I was wrong."

Chang Ning thought that this girl was just a beautiful girl, a bit like a foolish beauty, but she was also very cute, so he didn't want to scare her, so he said softly: "It's okay. You just said your name is Yuyi? What does this name mean?"

When Yuyi heard that the Queen Mother did not blame her, she felt relieved and smiled shyly, which was so brilliant that people once again admired her good looks.

Who knew her next sentence would be.

"My father said that I was pretty, so he named me Yuyi."

Ah this...

There's nothing wrong with that.

This name is both casual and profound in meaning!

Chang Ning suppressed his laughter and asked her again: "You know a lot. You can play chess and cook. What dishes can you make?"

"Your Highness, I can make snacks and noodles. Especially three-fresh noodles. Your Highness, do you like noodles? How about I make you a bowl now?"

Seeing that she was about to roll up her sleeves, Chang Ning waved his hand to stop her: "No, no, no."

This girl is so honest...

Changning and Suocho Luo looked at each other and saw the helplessness and smile in each other's eyes.

Then, before Chang Ning could say anything else, a voice came from outside. It was Hutuli's happy voice: "Let's go and show it to our mother!"

Zhui Yu was outside, feeling awkward: "Third Prince, Second Princess, the Queen is meeting guests."

"Ah? Okay." Hutuli curled his lips, feeling a little disappointed.

Changning heard it clearly from inside and gave Chuixue a look. Chuixue understood and hurried out to welcome Hutuli and Hongyan in.

As soon as Hutuli and Hongyan came in, the four people present quickly stood up and saluted. They must be the protagonists of today's birthday banquet.

Hutuli behaved like a princess in front of outsiders. She did not act like a spoiled brat around Changning as usual. She nodded slightly and said in a friendly tone: "Madam, please stand up. There is no need to be polite."

Hongyan was wearing the white crane cotton gauze robe, and the two lines of poetry embroidered by Changning were right beside him. Yuyi could see them out of the corner of her eye if she raised her head slightly.

"Let us raise our wings to soar into the sky, and make clear sounds when we soar up and down."

Yuyi's heart moved slightly, it seems that the Third Prince is also well-read!

Yuyi herself is not good at poetry and literature, and she feels that her mind is different from others.

Others can understand an article or ancient poem after reading it once or twice, but you may not be able to understand it even if you read it twenty times.

So she particularly admires those who are knowledgeable, eloquent and well-educated.

Just now she was attracted by Li Suitan.

In fact, she had never thought about marrying Duo Xihui, because she knew her own limitations, and the only thing she could do was make three-fresh noodles...

As for the rest...she was no match for Miss Li, and she didn't have the confidence to be the mistress of such a big family.

She was also relatively contented. Since God had given her such an outstanding appearance, it was normal for her to lack some knowledge of poetry and literature.

What if someone is both beautiful and smart?

"Mother, Hongyan and I just got this, and we wanted to give it to you."

Hutuli took out the butterfly hairpin vase he had just acquired.

Hong Yan's clear voice rang out: "My son and sister's birthday is also the day when mother suffered, so my son also wants to give something to mother."

Wow!

So filial!

Yuyi felt that if she had such a son, she would be so moved that she would die!

The Queen is so amazing that she has been able to train the Third Prince so well.

She secretly raised her head again and took a quick glance, only to see a young man as thin as a pine or bamboo, wearing a white crane robe. He looked as if he had ascended to heaven, and no one dared to disrespect him.
