The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

When Chaoxia heard the news this time, she could no longer laugh. She cursed the woman inwardly, calling her a vixen. Seeing that Fu Jin was about to finish her breakfast, she quickly restrained her expression and went into the house.

Madam Fu was as steady as ever. She gave Zhaoxia a look and asked her to take people to clean up the dining table. She walked to the side of Fu Jin and whispered, "Last night, Fu Cha concubine served me in bed and asked for water five times."

Fu Jin narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Go and increase the gift by three points."

"Yes." Nanny Fu turned and walked away.

"Blizzard," Chang Ning said hoarsely, a little distressed, "Put on a thicker layer of powder."

Looking at the ambiguous red mark on her neck, Changning felt a little shy, but Chuixue was very calm. "Master, take a break and have breakfast. You have to pay your respects to the concubine later."

Although she had not met the wife yet, Chang Ning felt that she was not a troublesome person. She did not need to pay respects to her husband every day, but only once every five or six days. She would not ask anyone to go over to her to argue with her. She usually took care of the children. She seemed to be a model of a good wife and a good mother.

Changning knew that Fu Jin valued her reputation. Since she loved her reputation, she would not do anything wrong in an obvious way. Therefore, she was not afraid to pay her respects today.

"Master, which one would you like to wear today?" Chuixue called out to Tingfeng, Wangyue, Pinhua and other first-class maids to line up. Each of them held several Manchu dresses in her hands. There were moon-white, lilac, pear, snow-blue, crimson purple, and various colors and patterns. All were newly made, and the embroidery on them was extremely exquisite, with a subtle fragrance.

Clothes and fabrics like these, as well as dozens of boxes, were purchased from various places and were the dowry specially prepared by the Fucha family.

"This material was sent by my mother. I wonder if Zhui Yu brought my letter with him."

The Fucha family had never expected Changning to be chosen. According to their idea, the family should have the final say on this family background. Bodel also asked his wife, Socho Luo, to send a letter to Concubine Tong of Chengqian Palace, requesting a marriage on their own.

Although he had not received any definite news, Bodel only guessed which relative the emperor might be given the throne to. He wanted to submit a few greetings to the emperor to get the emperor's opinion so that he could make arrangements early. Who knew that Changning was given to the fourth prince?

It's not that Bodel is arrogant. The girl in his family is qualified to be a princess, but she has to be a concubine. He feels aggrieved, but the emperor is supreme, and all thunder and rain are grace from the emperor. He can only accept it. All he can do now is to make more plans for his young daughter.

Fortunately, their family had already started preparing a dowry for their eldest daughter before Changning was born. As a Manchu noble, and after Bodel had traveled all over the country and taken office for so many years, he had accumulated a lot of good things, so it was not an exaggeration to say that on the day of Changning's wedding, she had a ten-mile red make-up.

Because Changning was born into a good family and had a rich dowry, the entire Wangfu Street was shocked by the scene when Fu Cha's concubine entered the palace that day. Wulanala's concubine only brought 180 loads of dowry when she entered the palace that day, and Fu Cha's dowry was only five loads less, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were all large items, precious things accumulated over many years.

I heard that there are still many treasures from the former Ming Dynasty.

This is just the apparent subsidy; no one knows about the private banknote subsidies.

Zhui Yu was a trusted maid who had served Chang Ning until she was little. Since she had entered the mansion, Chang Ning asked her to go home and meet her father and mother in person. If her father and mother had any instructions, she could bring them over.

Changning finally chose the one with gamboge embroidered with colorful butterflies. The color is bright and cute, and her skin looks very good. She wears a headpiece with a phoenix blowing peony pattern, and looks elegant and graceful.

There was no need for her to avoid the spotlight deliberately. Although her name began with the word "concubine", a concubine could also be included in the ancestral temple. With a family background like hers, she must not lose the reputation of the Fucha family.

When Changning arrived, all the princesses in the backyard had already arrived. They were just drinking tea with their heads down and no one spoke. When they saw the concubine, they bowed and only dared to look at her secretly.

They had no way of finding out what was going on in the Fourth Master's front yard, so they didn't know whether this concubine was favored. However, when they saw her today, they found that Concubine Fucha had a natural temperament that outshined all the women present. She saluted the concubine with neither servility nor overbearing, showing such grace and elegance.

It seems that the weather in this city is going to change again.

"You have just entered the mansion. You must serve Lord Beile well and take his health as your priority. If you have time on weekdays, you can have tea and chat with the other sisters."

Although Ulanara looked young, she had the majesty of a person in a high position, which made people ignore her pretty appearance.

"Yes, but I am usually in poor health and rarely go out." Changning smiled faintly, and no emotion could be seen.

Ulanara's heart sank. She had given a warning, but who knew Fucha would just fight back so lightly. She tightened her grip on the teacup and said, "If you are weak, take good care of yourself. The summer heat is just getting hotter now."

"Just drink more cooling tea. And thank you for your concern, Madam." Changning said calmly, as if she didn't hear the hidden meaning. Want to confine her? Unless you say it openly, Changning will pretend to be stupid. She doesn't believe that Madam, who cherishes her reputation, will confine her concubine on the first day.

Ulanara did not speak again. She put down the teacup and gently twirled the Buddhist beads.

The two big Buddhas above didn't speak, and the little princess below didn't dare to say anything. But Geng was the brave one.

"Madam, the kingfisher and pearl flowers on your head are so gorgeous." Geng bravely stepped forward to flatter her.

Wu snorted coldly. She was flattering him in front of Mrs. Fujin. Geng was always a fence-sitter.

Chang Ning glanced at her. Geng was pretty, with a round face. She looked innocent and not very smart. However, with such a beautiful appearance, who knows what kind of heart she has underneath. Therefore, Chang Ning just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing Changning so cold, the princesses present all labeled her as someone who is not easy to mess with. I wonder who is more powerful, this one or Concubine Li.

Li has always been domineering. Today, she wanted to prove that she was favored. She deliberately did not come to pay respects, and found an excuse to take care of the second prince. It was so funny. The second prince had always been served by the wet nurse, the maid, and the maids, and she didn't seem to care much.

The women in the backyard secretly looked at Changning, each with different thoughts in their minds.

Chang Ning was also observing quietly. Geng had made a breakthrough, but Wu didn't seem to get along with her. Wu was very bright, but there was always something sarcastic and mean between her eyebrows, which was not generous enough.

Song kept her head down the whole time, and her occasional smiles were shy and gentle, and she really did not seem to have a bad temper.

The remaining Tang was young, looked timid, and didn't dare to speak much. Liu was said to be Yinzhen's trial marriage princess, and had long been out of favor.

Among the concubines, Yu and Dong were more outstanding in appearance, each with their own merits.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, just go back. I also want to go see Honghui." Fu Jin picked up the teacup and saw the guest off.

Only then did everyone retreat.

"Sister, you just arrived at the mansion, and I guess there's no one to talk to you. Why don't you come over to my place and sit down with me, and we can play cards together to relieve our boredom." Geng chased after Changning again.
