The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

On the day of Little New Year, the Fourth Prince's Mansion was extremely lively.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going at the gate to give New Year gifts, and the gatekeeper made a lot of money.

There were also many people queuing up at the gatehouse, all of whom came to pay their respects to the Fourth Prince, but they were all turned away.

Only Mr. Dai Duo was invited in by the servant, and then went to the study, where he talked with Yinzhen for a long time.

After going out, Yinzhen entered the palace with several cushions prepared by Changning, two boxes of soft cheese snacks, and two jars of osmanthus wine.

In the Prince's Mansion, Fu Jin was taking care of all matters.

The first thing to do was to offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God and send him off. Fu Jin checked the various tributes and before Yinzhen entered the palace, she dragged him over to burn incense.

He then ordered people to clean every corner of the mansion thoroughly.

The blessing from the Emperor has already been received and is posted in the main hall.

After finishing all these, I prepare the evening meal.

Lord Beile has instructed that we should have a small banquet for tonight's dinner, and invite a circus troupe to set off some fireworks to make it lively.

The leader opens his mouth and his subordinates run around for him.

When Changning sat at the dining table, looking at the lively and festive decorations around him, the acrobatics being performed on the stage not far away, and Fu Jin's secret yawns, he felt very emotional.

Being a housekeeper is really not easy.

Although she can do it, she also thinks it takes a lot of brain cells. Once again, it is not easy for Fu Jin.

Thinking that there really was a daughter in her belly, Changning felt that she was becoming more and more sentimental.

"Good! This one looks good!"

On the other side, Tang Gege was already fascinated.

On the stage, a muscular man lifted a large vat half a person's height and threw it at the feet of another woman. She then began to turn the vat on her feet rapidly.

She kicked the cylinder into the air, then turned it upside down and over. The cylinder rolled up and down in the air, and rotated left and right, which was dazzling.

Geng Gege was also very excited. She hadn't seen acrobatics for a long time!

The last time I watched it was when I was a kid at home.

Ever since she entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she rarely even went to the theater.

At this moment, watching the wonderful performance, he was also very excited. Not to mention the other women, they were all staring at it.

This group of people are really capable.

Sometimes they were doing balancing on the pot, sometimes they were playing with swords, sometimes they were jumping balls, and finally they were jumping through a ring of fire, which pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Yinzhen was also very happy watching it. "Good! Good acting, reward!"

"Thank you, Lord Beile, for the reward!"

A group of people knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude, and they were all very happy.

After the acrobatics were over, dinner was almost ready. Changning didn't eat too much, just a bowl of beef soup and three or four dumplings.

She was busy watching the circus.

Yinzhen also discovered that since Changning became pregnant, her appetite has increased a lot. She only ate a little just now, so she will definitely be hungry after a while.

He told Su Peisheng to ask the kitchen to serve a bowl of crab roe and shrimp wontons, and specifically asked for the ones mixed with red oil and mashed garlic.

So, amidst the envious and jealous eyes of the women in the backyard, Changning's appetite was aroused and he finished the meal in a few bites.

It was Geng Gege who lost her temper first, but she was still concerned about the punishments that Yinzhen and Changning had given her, so she just said something a little sour, "My master is so kind to his wife, she even cares about her meals."

Tang Gege also echoed, "Yes, yes, I am really envious. Concubine's bowl of wontons looks so delicious, but it is bright red. Doesn't Concubine feel it is spicy?"

At this time, Liu Gege suddenly said, "They say sour boys and spicy girls, Concubine Jin may be destined to be twin flowers and lotus flowers."

Chang Ning picked up the handkerchief and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth. "It seems that the meal prepared by Fu Jin tonight is indeed good."

When these words were spoken, everyone was confused, and Fu Jin also looked puzzled.

Chang Ning then said, "Why are you all so full and bored?"

Everyone's faces looked unhappy, especially the three people who had just spoken. How could they have forgotten that the concubine never gave anyone face?

Liu Gege felt humiliated. She thought she had the most seniority and should give some respect to the concubine, as she had just entered the mansion.

So, Liu Gege hurriedly looked at Yinzhen and found that he was only staring at Concubine Fucha, and didn't pay any attention to anyone else. She was immediately discouraged.

Forget it, I have been out of favor for a long time, so why bother to lose face.

Fu Jin tried to smooth things over at this time, "Today is the Little New Year, and Master specially ordered that the dinner be made more exquisite and rich, so that the sisters can be happy, and he also invited a circus troupe. This is all Master's love for you."

The other women hurriedly stood up to express their gratitude, but Yinzhen waved his hand casually and said, "Forget it, just behave yourself. It's New Year's Day, don't make trouble."

Hearing the warning in the tone, Geng Gege and Liu Gege both lowered their heads, and Wu Gege laughed at them in her heart, calling them a bunch of idiots.

Then, Yinzhen ignored them and personally helped Changning walk outside, and tied the fox fur cloak for her to prevent her from being blown by the wind.

"Someone outside has ordered the fireworks to be set off. Let's go and watch it together." Yinzhen held Changning's hand tightly and went out first.

Fu Jin and other women followed closely behind.

Countless moons appeared in the sky, and colorful clouds were circling the crimson platform. Suddenly, the stars scattered and the sound of rain came from the sky.

In the courtyard, fireworks bloomed all over the sky. The cold stars were in the sky, but they were not as bright and dazzling as the fireworks, reflecting the beautiful woman's jade-like face.

"Yao Xian, the new year is peaceful and the long joy is endless."

The Fourth Prince's Mansion was bustling with people, but under the sky full of fireworks, Changning could only hear the words "Changle Weiyang."

After a busy day, Fu Jin was so tired that her back and waist ached. After taking a bath, she asked her maid Wanxia to give her a massage.

Aunt Fu said distressedly, "The New Year is the busiest time. From New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the first lunar month, everyone has to go to the palace to pay respects. Can Fu Jin endure it?"

Yan Hua was very tired and didn't want to speak, so he just said "hmm" and closed his eyes to rest.

Wanxia, ​​who was having a massage, was a little angry. "Fujin has been busy for so long, and has prepared the Xiaonian so well. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Why did Prince Baylor still go to Qingzhiyuan?"

This is not pleasant to hear.

But Yan Hua only spoke softly, "After all, you are pregnant, and having children is the most important thing."

Aunt Fu also echoed, "That's right. The wife has been working hard all day, and the prince must be sympathetic to you and wants you to have a good rest. Besides, didn't he just ask Su Peisheng to tell you to come over for breakfast tomorrow?"

"Go and look after the kitchen. Serve more of the dishes that I like. Don't just steam them with heavy meat and oil."

Aunt Fu quickly lowered her head and responded.

After being pressed by Wanxia for a while, Yanhua felt that the tension in her waist and legs had loosened, and her body became more active, so she asked, "How are Honghui and Yierha doing today?"

Aunt Fu replied, "He's fine. The eldest prince has been feeling much better recently. He no longer has a fever and even had an extra bowl of soup today. The eldest princess is also fine. She played with toys all afternoon and kept talking about Madam Fucha."
