Secrets of Yuqing Palace

The Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the Qing Dynasty. As the wife of the heir apparent, the burden on her shoulders is not something that any noble lady can bear.

During various palace banquets, every move must set an example in terms of court etiquette, and no mistakes can be made in any link.

She also needs to be a good wife and assist the prince.

Internally, he is responsible for managing the prince's harem affairs.

Although he cannot directly participate in state affairs, he can provide some support to the prince behind the scenes.

Such as matters related to the power of the harem family, accompanying the prince to various banquets and activities, socializing with the ladies of the court and the wives of ministers, and assisting the prince in maintaining good interpersonal relationships.

It is precisely because of the importance of the Crown Princess that it is not enough to have a good family and talent, but also requires personal ability to be able to shoulder the responsibilities of the Crown Princess!

Otherwise, the emperor would not have selected candidates from among the Manchu nobles and trained them so early.

Wanyu's performance at the Laba Palace Banquet also made some of the waiting ladies more convinced of the family tradition of the Guwalja clan.

The performance of the two noble ladies of Guarjia made the princes and princesses of Guarjia Mansion popular in the matchmaking market.

However, it is regrettable that except for the Crown Princess's younger brother Shi Mujin who is only twelve years old, the rest of her brothers and sisters are still very young.

Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, who have always been in the spotlight, were also very satisfied with the Crown Princess's performance this time.

As big guys, the result that satisfies them is rewards.

Giving generous rewards shows how much he values ​​the Crown Princess.

Especially the Empress Dowager, whose rewards were no less than those given by Kangxi.

The Crown Princess was a rare person in the harem who could speak Mongolian. After she got married, she often went to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects, talk to her and show her filial piety.

In addition, she also has Mongolian blood, which makes the empress dowager have a deep affection for this granddaughter-in-law.

He even treated her as his own nephew!

Many concubines in the harem were jealous of the emperor, the empress dowager, and the crown princess's attention and generous rewards.

But there is no way, the two of them are the masters in the palace.

Although they were also considered masters, they were just servants in front of these two people and did not dare to complain at all.

At least he dared not show it openly, otherwise he would be completely out of favor!

By then, you will be worse than even a slave.

Wanyu was relieved that the Laba Palace Banquet ended successfully.

Once is new, twice is familiar. She believed that after attending a few more palace banquets, she would be completely accustomed to it.

However, she had invested a lot of time and energy in this palace banquet, so she was very tired.

So the next day, she slept in Yuqing Palace until almost 9:00 PM before getting up.

Yinreng was worried that she was sick and was ready to call a royal physician.

The senior palace maids around her were already used to it and were prepared for it.

Whenever her master is busy for a while, she will completely relax and take a good rest to restore her energy.

Otherwise, if you don’t get enough rest, you will always feel listless.

Everyone around her is used to it.

After hearing the palace maid's explanation, Yinreng felt relieved.

However, Wanyu couldn't rest for too long.

On the afternoon of the second day, Yinzhen and Yinyang came to Yuqing Palace together.

Boys and girls aged eight sit at different tables. Both children are not young anymore, they are already ten years old.

Although Wanyu was her sister-in-law and could sit at the same table with them, it was not appropriate for her to bring the two of them to the backyard before the prince returned.

So she ordered Nanny Sun.

"Mammy, please arrange for someone to take the two princes to the west side hall in the front yard."

"The two princes are in the growing stage, so they must be hungry very quickly on weekdays."

"Tell the kitchen staff to prepare more snacks for the two princes."

"By the way, prepare some hot milk for them."

When Yinreng entertained the princes, it was in the west side hall of Dun's main hall.

So it was not wrong for her to arrange it this way.

After Nanny Sun left, she quickly told Xia Lian to tidy up for her.

After a quick and busy period, just a cup of tea had passed.

With the help of her maid, she passed through the corner gate and reached the front yard.

When she arrived at the west side hall, the two men were eating cakes eagerly.

She said in a gentle voice: "Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi."

"Why did you come to see my second sister-in-law today?"

The two were startled by the sudden sound and almost choked.

I quickly picked up the hot milk on the kang table and took a big gulp. I felt much better only after I swallowed all the food in my mouth.

Yinzhen put down the cup and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and muttered a few words to his second sister-in-law in a way that was both intimate and complaining.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm already an adult and don't need to drink milk anymore. Why are you giving milk to me and Old Ten?"

"I just asked Aunt Xia He to change the water to tea, but she refused, saying it was my second sister-in-law's order."

"I've been forced to drink only milk."

Yin? He scratched his head nonchalantly.

He didn't like drinking milk before because he thought it had a fishy smell and was very unpalatable.

Now the milk I drink from my second sister-in-law has no fishy smell at all.

Moreover, my second sister-in-law had someone add sugar in it, so it tastes sweet and delicious.

But before Wanyu could say anything, the two of them got up from the warm seats and went downstairs.

He went to Wanyu and bowed, "My younger brother greets my second sister-in-law."

Wanyu smiled and said, "Get up."

After the two children stood up, she touched their little heads.

"I see you guys were having a good drink just now."

"Why do you hate milk so much?"

"This milk is good stuff."

"Drinking more milk is good for your health and can make you grow taller."

"You don't want to be a dwarf, not even as tall as your wife when you stand, do you?"

The two half-grown children's eyes widened immediately.

They said in unison: "How is that possible!"

Yinzhen said proudly: "I will never become a dwarf!"

His eyes wandered and he spoke hesitantly.

"This milk is quite good to drink occasionally."

"Right, Tenth Brother?"

Yin? He smiled innocently, "Yeah."

He looked up at his second sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, the milk here is delicious, Yin? I like it. Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Wanyu smiled with satisfaction.

"As long as Tenth Brother likes it."

"But the milk cooked in the imperial kitchen has a fishy smell and doesn't taste very good."

"It's understandable that you didn't like drinking before."

Yinzhen immediately nodded in agreement.

He was indeed very disgusted with the milk cooked in the imperial kitchen.

However, the Queen Mother is Mongolian and likes to drink Mongolian milk tea made with milk, but he still doesn't like it.

The fifth brother who follows the Royal Madam has an almost identical diet to the Royal Madam.

Sometimes when Fifth Brother returned to Yiku Palace, Mother would take into account his eating habits and prepare milk tea for him.

When he was young, he tried it out of curiosity.

I collapsed on the spot and almost vomited.

Fifth brother was still looking at him happily. He didn't want to make fifth brother unhappy, so he suppressed his nausea and frowned as he left.

Since then he has rarely drunk Mongolian milk tea.

Another reason is that he feels that he is an adult and no longer a child, so he doesn't need to drink milk anymore.

Only little kids drink milk all day long, so they hardly even drink cow's milk.

However, the milk here from my second sister-in-law has no fishy smell and tastes sweet. I heard that drinking more can help you grow taller.

[If I could drink my sister-in-law's milk and grow a little taller, that would be great.]

Wanyu looked at the two children looking at her with bright eyes and rubbed her head with amusement.

She turned around and instructed Xia He.

"Xia He, write two recipes for boiling milk to remove the fishy smell, and personally deliver them to Concubine Yi's Yikun Palace and Concubine Gui's Yongshou Palace."

Xia He smiled and squatted down to salute, saying, "Yes, I obey your command."

The two expressed their gratitude to Wanyu.

Lao Jiu: "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

Lao Shi: "Hehe...Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

Wanyu smiled and shook her head, "No need to be so polite."

"By the way, you haven't told me what brings you to my second sister-in-law's place today?"
