The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

March of the third year of Yongzheng's reign

"Mother, are you really going to give Yuyi to Hongyan as a concubine?"

Hutuli came secretly to find out the news.

This month Changning was busy selecting female officials, arranging marriages between Honghui and Nian Zhiyi, arranging Yierha's wedding, rewarding the pregnant Li Suitan, arranging a concubine for Hongyan, and also had to find time to respond to various questions from Hutuli.

"Yes, what ideas do you have?" Although Chang Ning was holding the account book in his hand and the other palace ladies were constantly replying to him, he still spared a little attention to chat with his daughter.

Hutuli chuckled: "I just wanted to ask, I think Yuyi is a nice person."

Chang Ning rolled her eyes at her: "Who do you think is bad?"

Hutuli rolled his eyes: "Everything seems to be fine. Oh, mother, I heard that my cousin's wife is pregnant. This is too fast. They got married only last November! I want to go out of the palace to see her."

Chang Ning waved his hands helplessly: "Go ahead, I'm almost too busy, you can make your own decision."

Hutuli kissed Changning happily and ran away.

Changning let out a long sigh and shook his head.

Oh, still like a child.

Hongyan has already married a concubine, and Yinzhen has selected two princesses to serve him and Honghui, but Hutuli is still thinking about playing every day!

However, Changning felt a bit of a headache when thinking of Hongyan's two princesses.

Honghui chose a girl from the Ulanara clan as his concubine, and there was nothing wrong with her coming from her mother's family.

There was another princess named Lin who was chosen by Yinzhen. She was born in the Imperial Household Department and was said to have always served Honghui. They were childhood sweethearts.

As for Hongyan, Yinzhen chose Shumulu, who was a fourth-rank ceremonial official, and another one was Sujia.

It is the family of Changning's second sister-in-law, the girl named Hezhuo.

Changning also had an impression of Hezhuo, a girl with a sweet and pretty smile.

Changning had always treated Hezhuo as a junior in the family and had never thought of letting her marry her son, but she met him during this talent show.

She summoned her second sister-in-law into the palace and wanted to ask her family's opinion. Her second sister-in-law hesitated, but finally nodded and said that it was Su Jia's intention.

In this case, Changning could not possibly offend his second sister-in-law.

However, before her son married a concubine and brought a princess into the house, Changning called him over to give him some instructions.

"Hongyan, you are still young, so there is no need to rush to have children. Your concubines and princesses are not fully grown yet and are not suitable for childbearing, so you can have children a little later and don't have to worry about the issue of offspring.

Besides, Yuyi is pure-minded and may not be able to manage the trivial matters in the backyard. You still need to be more careful and not to make any embarrassing mistakes."

Although Hongyan was about to get married, he was not excited at all. His mind was still full of studying and doing his work.

Now Yinzhen was no longer satisfied with letting him just study and understand the people's sentiments. He had already begun to hand over the affairs of various departments to him, not only to train his political talents, but also to train him how to use people.

For Hongyan, this was the perfect opportunity for the Emperor to value him, and he certainly could not disappoint him, so he was focused on doing his job well, and didn't care about the affairs in the backyard. To him, marrying one or several women made no difference.

So he cupped his hands and replied: "Son, I understand. Don't worry, Empress Dowager."

Looking at his eldest son who had not yet come to his senses, Changning sighed.

In May, Yierha got married to Fashan of the Guwalgiya clan.

In July, Honghui and Nian Zhiyi got married.

In September, Hongyan welcomed his concubine into the house.

The sudden marriage of three children this year made Changning feel like he was still in a dream.

Especially when Yierha was holding her pregnant belly and smiling particularly sweetly and happily, Changning even forgot to drink the tea.

"It's been more than two months? Then you have to take good care of it. You can't use these cold things anymore. Fubuki, get another cushion."

Chang Ning quickly took care of Yi Erha, and Concubine Mao on the side was overjoyed: "You kid, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant earlier?"

Yi Erha's face flushed, and he felt a little embarrassed: "I just asked the court doctor to diagnose me yesterday, and today I came to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and my mother."

Concubine Mao's face was full of smiles: "That's good now. You just need to stay safe and sound during pregnancy. When the baby is born, everything will be perfect. Mother doesn't need to worry about you anymore."

Yierha touched his belly and nodded shyly.

Changning looked at the little girl who was so weak and would pull his sleeves to act coquettishly before, and now she was pregnant and about to become a mother. It felt unreal.

Time flies so fast...

Even more excited was Hutuli.

"Oh my God! Big sister! Am I going to have a niece?" She grinned, "My cousin's wife gave birth to a son the other day. I went to see him. He was white and chubby, so cute. Big sister's child will definitely be this cute too!"

Yi Erha smiled gently: "I hope so, as long as he is healthy."

Chang Ning frowned: "Is Fashan treating you well?"

When talking about this issue, Yierha smiled even more shyly and nodded with a sweetness that could be seen by the naked eye.

"He treats his son very gently and considerately."

Concubine Mao and Changning looked at each other. The mother almost cried. After all the suffering, her daughter finally had a good home. Concubine Mao felt that even if she died now, she would have no regrets.

Hutuli pulled Yierha and chattered a lot, asking questions that made Yierha feel embarrassed.

Changning coughed twice, told her to be quiet, and took Yierha to the side hall to rest.

Hutuli curled her lips, but still obeyed and helped Yierha to the side hall.

When they were the only two left in the inner hall, Concubine Mao knelt down before Changning and kowtowed several times.

"Yi Erha is where he is today, all thanks to your kindness. I thank you for your great kindness."

Concubine Mao spoke sincerely, and Changning was slightly touched, so she hurriedly asked her to stand up.

Just as the two were talking, Tingfeng came in, his steps a little hurried.

"My queen, something bad has happened. Zhao Fuhai just reported that the eldest prince and Hongqing had a fight."

"Ah?" Changning was really surprised.

Honghui and Hongqing have always had a good relationship. What could have caused them to become enemies?

Besides, Honghui is in the Forbidden City now, and Hongqing has already left the palace. So he is not in the study room?

Chang Ning quickly asked: "What's going on? Where are they now?"

"In the South Third House. Prince Hongqing came this morning and had been talking to the eldest prince. Suddenly, they started arguing for some reason, and then something was thrown around. When the eunuch went in, he saw two people fighting fiercely."

"How dare you! Honghui is so weak! Can he withstand Hongqing's punch?!"

Changning shouted angrily.
