The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Fu Jin herself also knew the overall situation, so she would not take action against Fu Cha's pregnancy. No matter what she gave birth to, she was nominally the legitimate mother.

After talking for a while in Yonghe Palace, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.

There were many people in Shoukang Palace, and those surrounding the Empress Dowager and chatting and laughing were Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui.

Concubine Rong was of a dull nature, so she just sat aside and listened.

Seeing Concubine De leading the Fourth Lady in, Concubine Yi greeted them with a smile, "Sister Concubine De is finally here. We have been waiting for you for a while."

Concubine De unnoticedly withdrew the hand that Concubine Yi was holding. "The journey was a bit long and delayed us. I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Fourth Lady behind him also bowed her head.

The Queen Mother did not make things difficult for them and quickly gave them seats.

Concubine Yi pressed on again, "Don't blame Concubine De, the Fourth and Thirteenth Princes are working for the Emperor and are not in the capital, so you can't help but worry a lot. If I were to ask you, the Fourth Prince is really valued by the Emperor. Such a big task is given to him. This trust is really unique!"

De Fei smiled faintly, and naturally would not fall into her trap. "How could it be? The Crown Prince is the emperor's most trusted son. The Fourth Prince just went on an errand. I heard that the Fifth Prince is also following the Third Prince to revise the book now?"

Speaking of her son, Rong Fei had to say, "Yes, it is convenient for them to work together."

Concubine Yi continued, "The fifth child was raised by the Empress Dowager, so naturally he has some ability to serve the Emperor."

Seeing that Concubine Yi was led astray by Concubine De's words, Concubine Hui secretly cursed Concubine De for being cunning and Concubine Yi for being stupid, and was forced to speak up herself, "Fourth Prince not only has the emperor's trust, but I heard that he has a strong chance of having children. The new Fu Cha family may already have one."

At this point, Concubine Hui even glanced at the Fourth Lady's expression. Seeing that she remained calm, she thought that the Fourth Lady's family was always calm and steady.

Concubine Hui continued, "This Fucha family is from an old Manchu family. Her family is also a prominent family. Her father is the Governor-General of Zhili and the niece of Ma Qi. Ma Qi is also the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and has always been a key minister of the Qing Dynasty. If she gave birth to a son, he would definitely be able to serve the country."

At this point, Concubine Hui felt extremely uncomfortable. With Fu Cha's family background, which concubine wouldn't be jealous?

Concubine Yi did not dare to fight for the fifth and ninth sons, for fear that her own sons were not worthy of them.

Even if she married the crown prince, she could have been his principal wife, but she chose to marry the fourth son and become his concubine.

How could she be the concubine of the fourth brother, but not her own son Yinzhen?

The fourth brother is really a treacherous person!

Concubine Hui was becoming more and more unhappy, but the Fourth Lady remained calm and said nothing.

Concubine Hui was getting more and more excited as she spoke. "This Fucha is pregnant so soon. She is very lucky. The fourth child only has Honghui as a son now. If she can give birth to a healthy son, there will be hope for the future."

Fu Jin Yan Hua clenched the handkerchief in her hand. This Concubine Hui was just stabbing her in the heart, right? Hong Hui was not dead yet, what hope did Fu Cha have!

Just when she was about to give up, Concubine De spoke up, "She's just a junior. Why is Concubine Hui always staring at her? If you really like her, why don't you reward her with something? This is also her good fortune. When she enters the palace at the end of the year, let her pay her respects to you and meet Concubine Hui."

At this point, Concubine De paused for a moment, but continued, "Sister, you should worry more about the male children in the eldest and eighth prince's houses. The two children have just been born and need to be carefully raised."

Concubine Hui was very angry. The eldest prince was so stubborn that he only doted on his wife, Irgen Gioro. After giving birth to so many daughters, he finally gave birth to his first son, who just turned one month old a while ago.

As for the Eighth Prince, Concubine Hui couldn't say anything. For so many years, there was no child in the mansion. Even the emperor asked about it. Fortunately, Zhang finally gave birth to a son.

With one biological son and one adopted son, both had great difficulties in having offspring, which gave Concubine Hui a headache.

But Concubine Hui had been immersed in the palace for many years, and she was very good at cultivating her qi. Therefore, she was very generous and took off two jade bracelets from her wrists and handed them to the Fourth Lady, "You and Fu Cha will each have one."

The Fourth Lady took the bracelet and thanked him, feeling relieved. She also understood that Concubine Hui was venting her anger on behalf of the Eighth Prince.

Before, Guo Luoluo was outspoken, but in the end she was slapped by Fucha. Not only Guo Luoluo was embarrassed, but also the Eighth Prince and his adoptive mother, Concubine Hui.

After spending another whole afternoon in fear in Shoukang Palace, Fu Jin finally returned home.

Nanny Fu felt sorry for her mistress who had to kneel and kowtow all day, so she prepared a bathtub and helped her take a bath. She also personally used essential oil to massage her, otherwise her knees would probably be blue tomorrow.

Fu Jin was really tired today, but she still forced herself to write a letter to the Fourth Master.

Everything that happened today, including what Concubine Yi, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine De said, was written down word for word. It's not that Fu Jin complained, but these ladies in the palace are all very shrewd.

Sometimes, every word they say contains a hidden meaning.

Meanwhile, in Qingzhi Courtyard, Changning was also writing a letter to the Fourth Master.

A lot of things happened in the past few days, and she couldn't hold back her words because she had no one to share them with.

First, he wrote that he had given the pomegranates in the courtyard to the Fifth Lady, the Thirteenth Lady, and the Fourteenth Master, and also gave a few to other sisters in the courtyard. He also added a small bracket, which read: I am a generous person.

He then shared the story of Guaerjia with Yinzhen, and analyzed the similarities and differences between his own role and Guaerjia's, and finally concluded that he was better.

Then he wrote about picking osmanthus flowers and preparing to brew osmanthus wine, which would be ready in three months. He hoped that the Fourth Master would be back by then, so they could drink together. Although he could not drink it himself, he could offer it to the Emperor and Empress in the palace.

Next is the incident of fishing and catching a soft-shell turtle.

Changning first expressed his deep regret for not being able to eat Farewell My Chicken, and then used gorgeous language to write about how delicious the grilled crucian carp with green onions and the braised chicken with abalone sauce with rice were.

Finally, Changning wrote that he felt a little lonely, so he kept the turtle, but he still wanted a pet.

It is said that Yinzhen likes dogs, but Changning does not intend to please him. She prefers cats, which are clean and fragrant, and she likes them more than dogs.

So, Changning asked in the letter if she could keep a raccoon. She also wrote the color she wanted, pure white with long fur, and she had even thought of a name for it: Tuantuan.

When Yinzhen received the thick stack of letters, he was extremely happy.
