The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

When Yinzhen arrived in the evening, he saw Changning was in high spirits.

"How's it going? Have you picked someone?"

Yinzhen smiled. As early as when he was in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he heard Hutuli whispering to him.

It was said that two girls came to Chengqian Palace. One of them was extremely beautiful and flirted with Hongyan, making her laugh all the time. She also kept circling around Hongyan.

Hongyan even started to avoid Hutuli.

It has been a long time since he saw his son in such an embarrassing state.

Yinzhen was also puzzled after hearing this. Didn’t they say that they would choose a wife for Duo Xihun?

Why are you still interested in Hongyan?

However, the two families had good backgrounds and were able to have princes.

However, if he wanted to become the Crown Princess, Yinzhen felt that he had to think carefully.

Especially from what Hutuli said, this girl is a little silly and not very well-behaved.

After listening to Changning's words again tonight, Yinzhen felt that such a simple-minded person was not worthy of the position of Queen Mother.

"Although Tulichen's daughter is kindhearted, she is not suitable for the turbulent situation in the palace. If she really becomes the principal wife, she may not be able to control the subordinates. However, if she becomes Hongyan's concubine, there will be no problem."

Changning also understood Yinzhen's thoughts.

After all, Hongyan was Yinzhen's designated crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. His future positions as wife and concubine were extremely important, and he could not block his son's future.

"There's no rush for Hongyan. We'll pick a good one for him in the selection next year. We'll first choose two concubines to serve him, and then choose a concubine in two years. It's about time Honghui got married."

Yes, Honghui is about the same age as Yierha. His mother, Ulanara, was only eleven years old when she married Yinzhen.

Chang Ning sighed: "You were such a little kid before, how come in the blink of an eye, you are already talking about marriage. Time really flies and is merciless."

Yinzhen also sighed. He was surprised and awed. This change in life was both rapid and gradual.

He will grow old and die.

However, he was not afraid. He was not like the emperor who was suspicious of his son because of his old age. He only felt that the Qing Dynasty had successors, and that his bloodline would pass on his will from generation to generation and take over the burden of the world from generation to generation.

At this time, Hongyan was feeling a little upset.

He heard that the two girls were the future wives that his mother and Guoluoma were going to choose for Duoxihun. Since they were his cousins' wives, he definitely couldn't mess with them.

What's more, he felt that girls were not as attractive to him as an original work of a celebrity.

"My mind is already idle, and Qingchuan is so peaceful."

Hongyan calmed himself down and focused all his attention on studying.

But Hutuli just wouldn't let him have his wish.

A few days later, Hutuli came running to Hongyan with an excited look on his face.

"Sister, what are you going to say again?" Hong Yan frowned slightly. These days, Hutulli has been coming to him all day, asking him if he likes the girl.

Hongyan has made it clear many times that he only wants to study now and has no time to think about girls.

But Hutuli just didn't believe it.

She felt that she and Hongyan were born from the same womb and had a tacit understanding, and it was impossible for Hongyan to hide anything from her.

Hearing Hong Yan's somewhat impatient voice, Hutuli "tsk tsk" twice and almost twisted his ears. In the end, he held back.

"Tsk! A dog bites Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know a good heart. I'm here to tell you good news. The emperor has issued an edict to grant Duo Xihui's cousin a marriage. The candidate is Li Suidan, the daughter of Li Fu, the governor of Zhili."

Hong Yan was stunned. The daughter of the Li family?

He couldn't remember who was who, but looking at his sister's appearance, he thought that the brave girl must not be his cousin's wife.

Hutuli smiled secretly. She really liked seeing the serious Hongyan act silly occasionally.

It’s so tiring to always be so serious!

"Hongyan, I think my cousin is getting engaged, so we can go out of the palace and congratulate him! What do you think? We can also get some fresh air. I'm getting hairy staying in this palace. I've tried all the square dances."

Hutuli came up with another idea and urged Hongyan to talk to his father and mother. After all, he had a very good relationship with Duoxihun, and his Hahazhuzi, Alin'a, was Duoxihun's biological brother.

Hongyan also felt that he should indeed congratulate her. If nothing else, it was just about the brotherhood between them. They shouldn't cut off contact just because she entered the palace.

but……

"Sister, you go to Chengqian Palace every day, why don't you tell mother about it?"

Hongyan was puzzled and felt that his sister seemed to be setting a trap for him.

Hutuli laughed: "I am afraid that my mother will think I am playful, right?"

Hong Yan didn't believe it: "Is mother busy again recently?"

Hutuli twitched his lips. How come he was always right?

Hongyan knew it was definitely true just by looking at her expression.

But he was also a little curious: "The New Year is over, what is mother still busy with? My cousin's wedding?"

"Not really. I saw that my mother has read a lot of books recently, and it seems that she wants to re-establish the system of female officials." When she said this, Hutuli's eyes lit up.

Hong Yan was also surprised: "Female official? Is it a female official in the harem? Or a female official in the previous dynasty?"

Hutuli shook his head: "I don't know the details. I still want to help, but my mother said she has to figure out the general idea first."

Hong Yan pondered for a while and said, "It's good that you have this intention, mother. If there is anything we can do to help, we will do our best."

"Yeah! I think so too. And female officials! When did we ever have female officials in the Qing Dynasty? If we have female officials, then can we also have female generals?!"

Hongyan knew why his sister was so excited, and he felt heavy in his heart.

He had been learning from Yinzhen for quite some time. Although he had not yet mastered some of the government affairs in the court, Yinzhen had already begun to ask for his ideas in order to cultivate his political acumen.

So when he heard the news, Hongyan's first reaction was to worry about Changning.

This is too difficult to implement. If there are female officials and female generals, will there be a female empress in the future?

Just like Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, the female emperor Wu.

Would the Emperor really agree to let my mother set this precedent?

Hong Yan felt a little uneasy. As he grew older and experienced more and more things, he felt that he could no longer be as innocent as he was in childhood.

He had experienced the succession of imperial power and the bloodshed, and he knew how great the charm of the throne was.

So he was worried that his mother's idea would affect the interests of certain officials or men, headed by his father, and thus bring about bad consequences.

However, he also knew that although his mother was capable, she probably had no intention of replacing him. She just wanted to carve out a way for women.

A path that doesn't require dependence on men.
