The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

This time, Changning truly experienced the grand ceremony of the ancient royal travels.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. There were so many carriages and horses in front and behind that she couldn't count them. At a glance, she couldn't see the end of the team.

She was bored sitting there, so she started to pull Yinzhen to eat.

The carriage was moving, and it was difficult for Eunuch Ma to start the fire. Before getting in the carriage, the sauerkraut and pork bones that Changning had specifically requested last night were still being simmered on the stove.

This time is a little different from last time.

Last time, she could eat spicy food very well. In the later stages of her pregnancy, she replaced all her snacks with crispy fried chili peppers, and sometimes she would even spread chili sauce on steamed buns and eat them.

After she found out she was pregnant, she especially wanted to eat sour food.

The sauerkraut and big bones stewed by Master Ma are still very authentic. He first stir-fries the sauerkraut until it is shiny and golden, and then stews it with the big bones. After stewing for several hours, the sauerkraut is almost stewed into the broth.

The meat on the bones was already very soft and rotten, and it fell off the bones with a light pinch of chopsticks.

What Changning likes to eat the most is the slippery tendons on the bones, which tastes particularly delicious when chewed together with the meat.

The best dish was sauerkraut soup. Yinzhen personally served her a bowl of it. The flavor of the meat permeated the golden soup, and the sour and crispy sauerkraut helped to relieve the greasiness.

Even Yinzhen drank two bowls.

You will feel comfortable after eating and drinking enough.

Changning lifted the curtain and saw that the road outside was an official road and there was not much scenery to see. She was a little disappointed. She really wanted to travel around the country if she had the chance!

There was no environmental pollution in ancient times, so the scenery described in ancient poems must have been factual literature, not exaggeration. It’s just that they won’t be seen in a few hundred years.

Things like "The waterfall drops three thousand feet straight down, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky", "The floating light flashes like gold, and the still shadows form a jade", "The mountains on both sides are connected without any gaps", she really wants to see them!

But once Yinzhen ascends the throne, he should be able to go on a southern tour, right? Or when he is on duty, Changning plans to act like a spoiled child again and ask him to take her with him.

Seeing Changning fidgeting, Yinzhen thought she might be bored from riding in the car, so he asked Su Peisheng to bring the chessboard over.

Although Changning had learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, his level was limited to that of an interest class in elementary school.

By the way, in modern times, she had enrolled in a dance class in elementary school. It was a free course offered by the school. She was very excited at the time, but the dance teacher taught the peacock dance in the first class.

Chang Ning thought that pinching the thumb and middle finger together and raising the other three fingers made this posture look like a chicken, so he quietly complained to the classmate next to him, "It looks like a chicken dance."

As a result, the dance teacher heard it and told her not to come to the next class.

From this we can see that Changning's artistic cells have not awakened at all.

She liked listening to Pingtan, and the Fourth Master even bought a troupe from the south specifically for her. After she gave birth to her child, she would occasionally listen to it in the small garden, which made people very envious.

Chang Ning likes to listen to other people singing because she can't sing well. The only song she sings in tune is the Phoenix Legend song "I Come from the Grassland", which has won the KTV microphone king.

She had blocked all the paths of singing and dancing, and the same went for painting. The Fourth Master even painted a portrait of her, which was so charming that it looked like a beautiful woman floating in the clouds like a flower, so captivating, but she herself could only draw stick figures.

When the Fourth Master first saw it, he found it hard to accept Chang Ning's painting style. He simply could not imagine how such a handsome and elegant person like him could be reduced to just a few lines under her pen.

And now, the Fourth Master wants to play chess with her again.

Changning was in tears.

However, she still forced herself to play chess. She could lose the game but not the battle. Maybe Yinzhen's chess skills were not good at all?

As it turned out, even if Yinzhen let her win, four of the five chess pieces were placed randomly, he still defeated her very easily.

After being hit again and again, she became unhappy and threw the chess pieces onto the board and started to act like a spoiled brat, "I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to play anymore!"

It was also the first time that Yinzhen had seen someone with such poor chess skills, so he didn't know where to start praising him.

However, in order to make the pregnant woman happy, he racked his brains to come up with some compliments, "Yao Xian is still very clever and skillful. The sachet she embroidered last time was very elegant. Look, I've been wearing it on my body!"

After saying that, she pulled off the lavender sachet from her waist as if to seek credit. The stitching on it was neat and even, and the embroidery was exquisite. It was indeed very nice.

Chang Ning finally regained some confidence and smiled. "Hey, these are just some small skills. I still have to embroider a little dress for the baby in my belly."

"Don't do anything with needles or thread right now, or you'll hurt your eyes. You need to take good care of your pregnancy first, that's the most important thing."

As the two people were talking, the team in front suddenly stopped.

Su Peisheng whispered outside the carriage curtain, "My Lord, the Emperor is summoning the Crown Prince."

Yinzhen frowned. They were still on the way, why did the emperor summon the prince?

Besides, if he was summoned, why did he stop the team?

In the evening, news came that Lord Soetu was seriously ill and the prince asked to return to Beijing.

Yinzhen's brows furrowed even more tightly.

They set up camp on the spot at night. Su Peisheng and Nanny Zhang packed up the tent and let Changning go in to lie down and rest. The two of them still lived together.

Yinzhen held a black piece in his hand and stared at the chessboard in front of him.

Changning is impatient to play chess, she prefers to write storybooks. However, once she got pregnant, Yinzhen stopped her from writing, which resulted in "The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with Me" only progressing to the point where the second female lead keeps doing bad things and alienating the relationship between the protagonists.

Yinzhen sat at the table alone, playing chess by himself, thinking about what had happened today.

Soetu was the prince's great-uncle. If he was simply ill, it was understandable that the prince wanted to go back and see him.

But the imperial carriage has come here, does the prince really miss Suo Etu? Or does he want to return to Beijing to supervise the government?

If the prince went to Mulan Paddock with him, he would be able to show his face in front of the Mongolian tribes, but with the emperor around, who would dare to get close to him? Isn't this obviously a sinister plot?

But things would be different if the prince returned to Beijing.

Since the emperor is not in the capital, it is only natural for the crown prince to be regent. But the emperor may not agree.

The more Yinzhen thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Over the past year, the emperor's attitude has become somewhat ambiguous.

His control over the Eastern Palace has almost reached a pathological level.

The Emperor was somewhat unhappy when he heard that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince had been getting closer for a few days.

But the Crown Princess has no children yet!

As a crown prince, he can't be close to the crown princess, and he can't even give birth to a son! Is that reasonable?

The crown prince now has only two sons, both of whom are illegitimate sons: Hongxi and the newly born Hongjin.

Concubine Li gave birth to two little princesses, but neither of them survived and both died shortly after birth, which made the prince depressed for a long time.

Seeing Hutuli's healthy and lively appearance, the prince's eyes turned red.
