Ever since the last chat with Wanji, the girls were all more or less moved, and they couldn't help but look forward to the day when the court would establish female officials.

It happened that Hongyan came to borrow a book that day, and Hutuli couldn't help but tell him about this.

"I never thought that Wanji's thoughts are so similar to my mother's and my own. She seems to be the new-thinking woman my mother mentioned."

Hong Yan also nodded in agreement: "That's right. Lord Ortai served my father in the court, so his daughter must be good. It's really admirable that she has such vision and broad mind."

Hutuli smiled and said, "I heard from my mother that any reform will inevitably encounter resistance. If the resistance comes from me, that would be great. I hope there will be no more setbacks in the future."

Hong Yan frowned: "Sister, don't be too optimistic. Although all those who have ulterior motives in the palace have been investigated, the management of those around them must also be strengthened. People are said to have selfish motives and will change. She may be loyal today, but she may be loyal to someone else tomorrow. As for the last incident, the people around you didn't have a clear eye."

Hutuli groaned after hearing this: "You are right."

After entering the palace, in addition to the maids and nannies around her, her mother trained four more and sent them in, and there were more than ten palace servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These forces were mixed, and she was impatient to use any means to control them before, so she directly used her status as a princess to suppress them, employing whoever she liked, promoting whoever she liked, and sending away whoever she didn't like.

But there are also disadvantages. Although she has established her supreme authority, and even the nanny cannot shake it, she cannot supervise everything personally, and she does not have the energy and spirit to do so. In the end, she still has to delegate some power to her subordinates.

But the degree must be struck well.

At this time, Changning had already discussed with Concubine Mao and decided to let Yierha leave the palace with Hutuli ten days later, telling the public that they were going to visit relatives at Fucha's mansion.

Then let Fashan go to Fucha Mansion to meet Yierha.

It just so happened that Hutuli and Hongyan had mentioned several times that they were going to go and congratulate Duoxihun, and his marriage to Li Suitan was scheduled for the end of the year.

Changning told him about this matter in the evening when Yinzhen and the children were there.

Hutuli was excited: "Okay! Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my sister!"

Chang Ning reminded worriedly: "The point is not to play. After you arrive at Fucha Mansion, give them some space. Especially you, Hutuli, don't show up in front of Fashan or anything, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Hutuli pursed his lips: "I know!"

After instructing his daughter, Changning then instructed his son: "Hongyan, when you go out in a few days, remember to bring a gift. Alin'a is your Haha bead, and Duoxihui has always had a good relationship with you, so it's best to give it as a token of your heart."

Hongyan nodded obediently.

Hong Zhao looked at Chang Ning eagerly: "Mother, I want to go too! I also want to congratulate my cousin Duo Xihui and see my elder sister's future husband."

Chang Ning flicked his head and said, "What are you doing? Want to make trouble? Just go to the study room and behave yourself."

Hong Zhao curled his lips, very reluctantly.

Hongchen also wanted to go, but was suppressed by Hongmin.

Now Hongmin is Hongchen's nemesis, and Hongyang has to be obedient and dare not follow Hongchen to make trouble.

Changning looked at the children with a smile and asked about their recent situation. Yinzhen smiled and said nothing, enjoying the leisure time with his children.

"Mother, what is the land of gentleness?" Hong Chen blinked his big eyes and asked suddenly with a clatter.

Suddenly, the entire Chengqian Palace fell silent.

Chang Ning asked in disbelief: "Hongchen, what did you say?"

Hongchen felt that after he asked this question, his brothers and sisters looked at him with a dull look in their eyes, and his father's face looked a little bad, which scared him. However, he couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he gritted his teeth and repeated the question.

"What is the land of gentleness? Hongqing said that there is nothing good to read in this book and it is not interesting at all. I said that it is better to play slingshot, but he said that playing slingshot is boring and it is better to indulge in the land of gentleness."

After he finished speaking, Hongchen looked very confused: "Then I asked him what the land of gentleness was, and he stopped talking and just kept laughing."

Hongyan frowned, but since his father and mother were there, he couldn't say anything.

The anger on Yinzhen's face was obvious, and Changning was also a little unhappy: "Why is Hongqing looking for trouble again? Hongchen is so young, why is he saying this for no reason?"

Yinzhen snorted coldly: "If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. The third brother is in love every day, so naturally Hongqing will be influenced by him."

It seems that Yinzhen was so angry that he didn't even bother to speak ill of their elders in front of the children. The contempt on his face was too obvious.

Chang Ning took Hong Chen's hand and explained to him briefly: "The land of gentleness is only enjoyed by adults with weak wills. Our Hong Chen is still young and in the prime of his studies. He is also very smart and different from those people. Of course, he can't indulge in it, right?"

After hearing what his mother said, Hongchen understood immediately, so he straightened his chest and said, "Don't worry, mother! Hongchen is the smartest one, and he will definitely not be as weak-willed as Hongqing. They are all idiots!"

Changning smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Hutuli was extremely disgusted with Hongqing's family: "This Hongqing is so annoying, and the older he gets, the more annoying he becomes!"

Yinzhen frowned and asked Hongzhao: "What has Hongqing been doing in the upper study these days?"

Hong Zhao also hated him: "Father, he teases cats and dogs every day. Every time my Lamb Leg comes over, I have to walk around him, otherwise he will deliberately scare me if he sees me.

He usually quarrels with one person or fights with another, and often deliberately makes trouble. Everyone in the study is almost fed up with him."

Hong Zhao didn't want to complain either. Talking bad about people behind their backs and telling his father about it sounded not very glorious and childish.

But he was not complaining, he was answering his father's words truthfully. What's more, he was not wrong. Hongqing had been becoming more and more presumptuous and unruly recently, as if... as if he was doing it on purpose.

Yinzhen nodded, his expression unremarkable: "Okay, Father, I understand. You guys go back and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow."

The children all went back obediently.

Yinzhen's eyes flickered, and he ordered Su Peisheng: "Go and issue an order to let Hongqing return to the mansion to meditate quietly, and he doesn't need to go to the study room anymore in the future."

Chang Ning didn't understand: "Hong Qing obviously wanted to leave the palace, so he deliberately acted like that. Why don't you take care of him?"

Yinzhen sneered: "Can this little monkey really turn over? I want to see what he wants to do."
