The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Hongchen didn't believe Hongmin's words: "How is this possible?"

"How is this impossible? Xu An'da has no children, and everyone in the palace knows it." Hongmin ruthlessly punctured this fantasy.

Hong Chen pursed his lips and asked again: "What is death?"

"..." Changning was stunned by the question. How should she answer this?

Unexpectedly, Changning didn’t need to worry about this question at all. Hongmin continued: “The person is no longer in the world. He has completely disappeared and can no longer be seen. We can only see what he left behind.”

"Never again... can we see it?" Hong Chen's eyes trembled, "Are we all going to die?"

Changning had a bitter face. The current Hongchen seemed like Hongyan and Hongzhao Hutuli who had just encountered the truth about death.

She was just thinking about how to comfort her son, but Hongchen's eyes lit up and he said, "Does that mean that after Father dies, those beautiful crystal paperweights and jade ornaments will all be mine?"

Changning????

You are really our great son...

Fortunately, Yinzhen was not there, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood.

The child was still young, and Changning didn't take his words to heart. He simply explained to him that we should cherish the people around us, not let ourselves regret, cherish life, and especially not hope for others to die because of some jade ornaments.

(=_=)

Hongchen nodded confusedly.

The next day he shared this matter with Xu Qingxue again.

"My brother said your father is dead."

Xu Qingxue???

Xu Shida?????????????????

(╬ ￣?俣? ╬)

The Xu Mansion was in chaos again...

Hongmin covered his forehead and sighed: "Third brother, please come quickly."

Chengqian Palace...

After purging the inner court and promoting the female officials system, the efficiency of the entire harem operation has been greatly improved.

Those female officials who were promoted and awarded ranks were all full of energy and eager to work every day to make the most of their lives at their posts.

They always remember that this is all the kindness of the Queen.

The Empress Dowager, whom they were thinking about, was currently making trouble in Chengqian Palace.

"I don't want to watch it, I don't want to watch it!" Changning lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all.

Fubuki was somewhat helpless: "My Lady, these account books have been brought here for almost ten days."

"I've been busy for so long that my hair has turned grey."

Changning felt particularly tired recently. Not only was she setting up the female official system, but she also had to take care of several children. She didn't feel it when she was busy, but when she was free, she would immediately feel sore all over and didn't want to move at all.

Ahhh! We clearly agreed to just play it down and be a nobody!

How come she is now developing towards the direction of the virtuous empress of the Qing Dynasty?

Changning felt that his painting style was beginning to go astray, so he decided to reward himself by taking a few days off.

Zhui Yu was the first to agree. She had long felt that the queen was too tired recently, and she was visibly thinner, and even her energy was lacking.

So she asked Bai Zhu to take Changning's pulse. Bai Zhu had now entered the Imperial Medical Bureau and was given a formal official position, namely Imperial Physician Bai. Now that she had an official status, she was no longer an unknown female doctor beside the Queen.

So she was very grateful to Changning and was also Changning's exclusive imperial physician. In addition to her duties, she had more time to study medical skills and discuss medicine in the Imperial Hospital.

After taking the Empress' pulse, Baizhu just said that she was exhausted recently and should not be too busy recently. He also wrote a few recipes for medicated food. He thought that food supplements were better than medicine, so some nourishing soups would be more effective.

Unfortunately, Changning has never been particularly fond of soups or the like. After sleeping for a whole afternoon, she asked the eunuch Ma in the kitchen to make spicy noodles for her.

When Zhui Yu delivered the message, he specially wrote a piece of paper with flour, starch, chili powder, cumin powder, sesame seeds, salt, etc., densely packed with seasonings. However, Eunuch Ma was an old hand. He knew what it was at a glance. He led four eunuchs and made it in one hour.

Zhui Yu looked at the red spicy strips oozing with chili oil in front of him and swallowed.

Looks so delicious, so appetizing...

When Chang Ning ate spicy noodles again, she was almost so excited that she burst into tears. Why did she only think of making spicy noodles now? How much happiness she had lost!

So she asked Eunuch Ma to make more and send some to the Empress Dowager's palace, the children in the three southern buildings, and Yinzhen in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In addition, Concubine Mao, Concubine Shu, and Noble Lady Gao in his own team also had a share.

Hutuli was playing chess with the Queen Mother in the Cining Palace. When she heard that it was my mother who sent some snacks, she smiled and said, "I am hungry while playing chess. Royal Mama, come and have a taste. The snacks in my mother's palace are delicious."

The Queen Mother also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try it too."

As a result, when the palace maid took out the spicy strips that looked red and fresh and appetizing, Hutuli immediately took a piece and gave it to the Queen Mother, who twitched her lips...

She is old, can she eat such spicy food?

But since her good granddaughter picked it for her, she had to eat it regardless of her fear. She opened her mouth and ate it. Although it tasted spicy and fresh at first, it did not hurt her stomach. The more she ate, the more she wanted to eat and she could not stop at all.

The same thing happened to Hutuli. After eating one piece, his eyes lit up. So he ate one piece after another, and finished them in no time.

The plates were soon empty, but the Queen Mother and Hutuli were still reluctant to leave.

"Madam Royal, this is delicious! Would you like another plate?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Too much is as bad as too little. Eat it tomorrow. Eating too much of this is not good for your health. The taste is a bit strong. Bring me some tea to tone it down."

Yinzhen also found this thing quite novel when he first saw it, but out of trust in Changning, he ate a piece without hesitation, and then he felt that this thing was very interesting, very appetizing, and very suitable for killing time.

As soon as spicy strips were developed, they were well received and everyone who tasted them raved about them.

Even Concubine Yu, who was always arrogant and unforgiving with her words, came to Chengqian Palace to ask for it. She had a shameless face and hesitated for a long time, which made Changning impatient. Only then did she say that she wanted to try the spicy noodles and asked the imperial chef how to make them.

Changning also generously passed on the recipe.

This gave her inspiration, so she gave the recipe to Changxing and asked him to do business and sell spicy noodles in a suitable location in the capital.

The charm of spicy strips is absolutely irresistible.

Time passed quietly. Although Changning had not been dealing with palace affairs recently, the palace was now in order and a clear scene.

She is now concentrating on preparing for the New Year's banquet and Duo Xihui's wedding at the end of the year.

Although she could not attend the ceremony that day, she could let the children go to watch.
