The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Unlike Honghui Yierha who were reserved, Fengsheng'e and Hutuli acted like they were at home and insisted on breaking free from their mother's arms and crawling around everywhere.

Defei also liked this pair of smart and healthy children very much. Although they were still young, they had been to the palace two or three times. Yinzhen always held them in his arms to pay his respects to the emperor, and they would stop by Yonghe Palace on the way, so they were not unfamiliar to Defei.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Feng Sheng'e pointed at Concubine De and shouted in a loud voice while crawling.

Concubine De smiled and quickly picked up Feng Sheng'e. Looking at his chubby little appearance, she was even more delighted: "Hongyan is a very energetic child. You must have worked hard to take care of him every day."

But these words were said to Changning.

Chang Ning quickly replied: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's the Majesty who is hard."

Although Changning is not afraid of anyone in public, as a daughter-in-law, she naturally has a fear of her mother-in-law.

She doesn't have any special words to say when dealing with her boss. She just says things in the same direction as her boss and praises him the opposite way.

You definitely can’t just turn the table while your leader picks up food. If your leader says you’re working hard, you can’t say the leader is the one working hard. You won’t be wrong.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law talked for a while and then prepared to leave for the palace banquet.

Before leaving, Concubine De turned around and whispered to the two of them, "Remember to look after the children when you go over there later."

She lowered her voice and spoke quickly, and after she finished speaking, she walked ahead, as if what happened just now was just a gust of wind.

Changning was a little confused. Why did she need to have such skills in the palace?

Fu Jin was thinking more and felt a little nervous, wondering which lady disliked them again?

When she arrived at the palace banquet, Fu Jin knew it.

The Third Lady, Dong E, looked stern and cold, sitting alone on one side, as if she disliked everyone.

Originally, Fu Jin had a good relationship with her, and their sons got along well with each other, but now she looked like she didn't want anyone to approach her, and Fu Jin didn't dare to approach her to talk to her.

The same was true for Concubine Rong who was not far away.

Originally, her position was at the bottom of the four concubines, and she had received no favor in recent years. The only ones she could rely on were Princess Rongxian and the Third Prince.

Princess Rongxian pacified Mongolia a few years ago and married Borjigit from the Balin tribe in southern Mongolia.

However, news has now come out that Princess Rongxian's husband, Wuergun, has been disrespectful to the princess and has secretly taken in several concubines. The princess was so angry that she wrote a letter back to the capital, asking her father and mother to take charge.

Concubine Rong was heartbroken, but she couldn't say anything in front of the emperor, so she could only place her hopes on the Third Prince.

Unexpectedly, the Third Prince got into such trouble again, and his children all encountered difficulties. Rong Fei was anxious, angry and furious.

She also loved her grandson, but she didn't expect Hongqing to cause such a big disaster. It must not be the third son's fault, but the fault of his daughter-in-law Dong E.

Therefore, Rong Fei vented all her anger on Dong E. She required her to enter the palace before dawn every day to learn the rules and regulations, and was not allowed to leave the palace until dark. When she returned home, she had to kneel down and copy scriptures. It is said that there were many shameful punishments in secret.

There are so many ways to torture people in the palace, and Rong Fei naturally has many ways that make people feel miserable, and in the end she even used them on her own daughter-in-law.

As a result, Dong E was tortured beyond recognition and became more and more extreme in her attitude towards people and things.

There was something wrong with Changning's eyes when he looked at Dong E, like a wild wolf ready to attack, wanting to bite anyone he saw.

No wonder Concubine De asked her to be careful. Who wouldn’t be alert?

Changning also instructed Yulan and Yuqiu to hold the baby tightly and not to relax at all.

Changning felt a sinking feeling in his heart, as if something was going to happen, and he looked to the other side in a hurry.

At the other table, Yinzhen sat upright. Amid the noise and bustle in the room, he stood upright like a green bamboo, and Changning suddenly felt calm.

"Sister Fucha."

Wan He saw that she was uneasy and thought that she was worried about the child being alone, so she whispered to comfort her: "The child is still young, there is no need to let him go. Concubine Tong said that we should just leave him with us and take care of him."

Changning nodded.

Wan He continued, "Have Hong Yan and Jia Yuan learned to crawl recently? Hong Chun can't do it yet. I think he's a little stupid, but the Fourteenth Master won't let me. Sister, do you think Hong Chun will take after the Fourteenth Master?"

Chang Ning couldn't help laughing: "What nonsense are you talking about? If he was really like the Fourteenth Master, Hongchun would have been on the roof and tearing down the house by now."

At this point, Wan He couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "That's right, our master's personality is like this. I think Hong Qing is very similar to him."

Changning also agreed. Such a naughty child, people would believe that he was the son of his fourteenth brother.

Suddenly, an abrupt female voice sounded behind the two of them: "What are you mumbling about? What happened to our Hongqing?"

Both of them were startled and looked back to see Dong E's gloomy face facing them.

Wanhe felt a little scared and unconsciously pulled Changning's clothes.

Chang Ning was not afraid of her, and just smiled and replied: "Nothing, it's just that Hongchun is still young and needs to be carefully taken care of. What's wrong with the third sister-in-law?"

"You didn't mention Hongqing?" The Third Lady's gloomy gaze made people feel scared.

Chang Ning was a little unhappy, but still answered patiently: "No."

The Third Lady wanted to say something, but the Fifth Lady Shufen tried to smooth things over: "Third sister-in-law, they are still young and just had a baby. They are discussing how to raise the baby."

The Third Lady sneered: "You all know how to raise children, but I don't know how to do that?"

Shufen was speechless, very speechless.

Chang Ning realized that San Fu Jin hated everyone equally, so she didn't bother to talk nonsense with her and said directly: "Third sister-in-law, please be careful. The emperor is still in front. If he finds out that there is a commotion here, he may not know how to punish us."

When Kangxi was mentioned, the Third Lady restrained herself a little, but her eyes were still on them.

Wan He whispered, "Why do I feel like something is wrong with my third sister-in-law?"

"You've already sensed it. There are eyes and ears everywhere in this palace. The news must have spread out long ago." Chang Ning snorted coldly.

Dong E is not stupid. She is not an ordinary person who can suppress many concubines and sit firmly on the throne in the mansion of the playboy Third Master.

Now this action is just an excuse to spread the news.

Dong E was just thinking, Rong Fei also wants her reputation. If people knew that she was torturing her daughter-in-law, who would dare to marry their daughter to Ma Jia?

Take advantage of outside public opinion to gain a chance to breathe.

Changning understood it, and Fu Jin also understood it, so she didn't say anything.

As for Concubine De, she was probably afraid that Changning and the others might not understand, so she gave this instruction.

However, Changning felt that Hongqing’s education problems needed to be taken seriously.

But there is still a question, what to do about Princess Rongxian?
