The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

When Yinzhen held Honghui's hand and wrote on the rice paper, Honghui's thoughts drifted far away.

He suddenly felt that his father loved him very much in his heart. Unlike his younger brothers, he did not dote on him, but rather valued him as his mother had said.

My mother reminded me that people in the main courtyard don’t need to be pampered, they just need to be valued.

Therefore, Honghui held the pen tightly, he wanted to write the best!

Watching Honghui and Yinzhen practicing calligraphy together, the others were watching the fun from the side.

Yierha knew that he could not be disturbed at this time, so he sat obediently with his arms around Hutuli, but Fengsheng'e was very interested in writing.

He walked over tremblingly, and without picking up a pen, he dipped his little finger in ink and began to draw.

Yierha originally wanted to say something, but when he glanced at Changning and found that Changning and his father had no intention of stopping him, he swallowed his words.

Feng Sheng'e was small but very focused. He stared at the word written by Yinzhen and wrote the first word of his life in a very realistic way.

Yinzhen looked very satisfied. Although the character could hardly be recognized if one did not look carefully, and the character "顺" (shun) looked like a "没" (mei), he was very pleased with his son's attitude towards learning.

"Fengsheng's forehead has grown, and he is also interested in writing, which is good."

Yinzhen smiled and held Feng Sheng'e in his arms. He then watched Honghui practice writing a piece of calligraphy seriously without any interruption. Then he told everyone to have dinner together.

Honghui seldom stayed here to dine in Qingzhiyuan, and he looked at the dishes on the table with some curiosity.

Changning never uses a large table or seven large plates and eight large bowls to set up meals, so it doesn't look as much as in the main courtyard, but it is still very rich and much more appetizing.

Right in the center is a big pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms. The chicken is stewed until it is soft and boneless, and even the soup is very thick. The mushrooms also have a unique aroma.

Feng Sheng was almost unable to walk when he saw the meat, but Hutuli was very interested in another new dish. He picked up a piece excitedly and asked, "Mom, mom, what is this? Eat! Eat!"

Yinzhen, Honghui and Yierha also saw it. It was a thin piece that looked crispy. Half of it was sprinkled with chili powder, and the other half was left as it was.

Chang Ning explained, "These are called potato chips. They are made by cutting potatoes into thin slices, frying them at high temperature, and frying them several times until they are golden brown and crispy when eaten. You children cannot eat spicy food, so eat the other side without chili powder."

Sure enough, the children were very interested in these fried potato chips.

But the two kids are still young, so I didn’t dare let them eat too many fried foods. They only had a bite each, and mainly ate steamed eggs.

Changning likes to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms very much. She also asks Eunuch Ma to add some vermicelli. Vermicelli absorbs the most juice and tastes best when paired with rice.

Yinzhen was the same. After eating two pieces of chicken, he focused on eating mushrooms and vermicelli, and even wiped the corners of Hutuli's mouth who was eating happily.

This meal was a pleasant experience.

Honghui was taught not to talk while eating or sleeping. This was the case in his mother's main courtyard and his father's front courtyard.

But he discovered that in Qingzhiyuan, Fu Cha's mother did not follow this rule. She always spoke with a smile and picked food for herself and her elder sister.

Even my father was so relaxed in Qingzhiyuan, which was different from usual.

It was as if this was the real him, and he was intimidating without showing any anger in other places.

Realizing this, Honghui felt a little unhappy.

After having their meal, Honghui and Yierha returned to the main courtyard.

Yinzhen would not stay here in the afternoon. He had to go out of the house. Before leaving, he told Changning that he might not have time to come and see her in the next few days. If she felt bored, she could go out for a walk. If she felt too lazy to move, she could let Mengguqing come and accompany her.

Changning was very happy. She planned to take the two little ones to visit her eldest brother's house. She had visited her third sister-in-law a few days before she gave birth, so it would not be good to disturb her recuperation again and again.

It just so happens that my second brother and his wife are also in Beijing, so it would be nice for the family to get together with my eldest brother.

When Fu Cha Chang Hua received the invitation, he was very happy to know that his sister was coming. He discussed with his wife Dong E how to receive her.

Mrs. Fuca, Socho Luo, had been staying at her eldest son's house these days. When she saw that they were about to pick out a long rosewood table from the warehouse as if they were going to entertain a distinguished guest, she hurriedly stopped them.

"Okay, why bother with all that? Your sister is coming, it's your family visiting relatives, you're being inappropriate."

Dong E didn't speak Northeastern dialect very well, but she could understand what her mother-in-law said. She hesitated a little, "After all, my sister is the concubine of Lord Beile. Lord Beile cares so much about Duo Xihui that he personally selected a husband for him. It has to be a little more grand. Besides, there are two nephews and nieces!"

Suo Cho Luo retorted, "Don't I know my own daughter? She feels uncomfortable with what you are doing! Forget it, just prepare what to eat tomorrow, and then choose the things you want to give her carefully, otherwise it will be inconvenient to send them to the mansion. So, give them all to her at once when she comes."

Changhua felt that what his mother said made sense, so he advised Dong E, "Mother is right. My sister likes the warmth and intimacy of her family. Don't make it too grand. Instead, pack all the things you want to give her so that it won't be inconvenient to give them to her later."

So, when Changning brought the two beautifully dressed twins, a boy and a girl, to Fucha's house, they were pulled to sit on the kang.

Changning said, well, it has the flavor of the kang in Northeast China.

Several children were put together. Feng Sheng'e and Hutuli were sitting together, solving the Nine Rings Puzzle with Changhua's second son, Alin'a.

Alin'a and the two little ones were born in the same year. Compared with his big brother Dosihun who is very clever, he is more honest. He looks silly when he smiles and just scratches his head when Hutuli snatches his toy away.

Changning's second sister-in-law, Su Jia, was sitting on the side holding her little daughter. She was very beautiful, with willow-shaped eyebrows. Her smile was like a spring breeze that made people feel itchy in their hearts. She also spoke slowly and softly.

Then she looked at her second brother, a burly man with untidy beard and abundant body hair. He sat on the side like a mountain and said in a rough voice, "Ningning, you are fine now, so I feel relieved. Otherwise, I would always be thinking about you. You can tell me how good my sister is, how can she be a concubine? The Ulanara family is..."

Before he could finish, Changhua glared at him fiercely and scolded him harshly, "Second brother! You are so confused! You have been an official for several years, but you still don't know that disaster comes from the mouth?"

Changrong also realized that he spoke too quickly and shut up in dismay.

Chang Ning smiled. "I know my second brother is worried about me. But I'm fine now. Lord Beile treats me well, and I am also respected in the mansion, not to mention I have three children! As long as our family is together in peace, that's all."
