The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

On the day of setting out to climb the mountain, Changning had already packed everything with the children, mainly wearing light clothes.

She was not wearing a Manchu dress. Instead, she was wearing the same Han woman's skirt as Hutuli, a breathable pea green gauze skirt with two lifelike crickets embroidered on the corners. When she walked, the crickets seemed to jump around her feet.

Hutuli particularly liked this.

"Mother, can you embroider a butterfly on the hem of my skirt next time? I want the story of Concubine Xiang that you told me a few days ago, the one that will attract butterflies!"

Changning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Children at this age love listening to stories.

She was closely tied up with Hutuli and Feiyang'a, and could not tell them the story of the overbearing prince. She had no choice but to collect the TV dramas she had watched in her previous life.

Princess Huanzhu is one of them.

Just when it came to the fact that Concubine Xiang could attract butterflies, Hutuli became interested in her.

"Okay, okay, tomorrow I'll ask the needlework nanny to make you a skirt with butterflies."

"Then I want to take a flower petal bath!"

Chang Ning rolled her eyes at her and asked, "Do you think I look like taking a flower petal bath?"

"No, no, Xiaoyanzi has taken a flower petal bath, I want to try it too!" Hutuli pulled Changning's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

This was the scene that Yinzhen saw when he brought Honghui and Yierha over.

Yinzhen was also wearing light clothes, a blue-gray cotton robe. He looked like a scholar, very handsome.

He asked with a smile, "What do you mean by petal bath? Hutuli can take one if he wants."

Seeing that Ama was backing him up, Hutuli jumped for joy and said, "Ama! Ama is the best! Ama is the best!"

Chang Ning snorted coldly and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on his daughter. "You can take a bath, but don't blame your mother for not reminding you. Little Swallow took a flower petal bath, but it didn't attract butterflies. Instead, it attracted bees!"

"Ah?" Hutuli couldn't believe it.

Yinzhen was overjoyed and picked up Hutuli. "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Father asked someone to prepare it for you. Where did the bees come from? Add some honeysuckle water to the bathtub to prevent heatstroke and epidemics."

Hutuli hugged Yinzhen's neck tightly with her little hands and laughed.

On the other side, Feng Sheng'e and Fei Yang'a also clung to Yinzhen's two thighs.

Changning smiled and took Yierha and Honghui's hands, whispering, "When we get up the mountain, if you feel tired, be sure to tell me. Don't be stubborn. We have a sedan chair. I have also prepared mats and some food. Let's just treat it as a picnic. Take a good rest today."

Yi Erha smiled shyly, but in a friendly way, "I know, Fu Cha's mother."

Honghui also blushed a little and nodded.

The only people climbing the mountain today were Yinzhen and Changning, with their five children.

Honghui had originally begged Fu Jin to go with him.

He also felt sorry for his mother who had to deal with the chores in the mansion every day. Moreover, he had a secret wish that his mother could be favored by his father and he wanted to create some opportunities for the two of them to spend time together.

But Yan Hua felt that there were too many affairs in the mansion, and she was not willing to spend a whole day climbing the mountain. If she had that time, wouldn’t it be better for her to take a nap, practice calligraphy, or copy a Buddhist scripture?

So she smiled and prepared clothes and luggage for Honghui, so that he could have fun with his father.

Honghui was a little disappointed.

But this disappointment disappeared as he left the city and reached the vast open space, and was replaced by infinite novelty.

The convoy filed out of the city and arrived at the foot of Jingshan Mountain.

Honghui got off the car first, and then helped his eldest sister, third brother, fourth brother and second sister get off the car, looking like a good little adult.

Yinzhen and Changning looked at each other and smiled secretly.

After getting off the bus, the children ran around chirping like birds out of a cage, especially Fei Yang'a, who ran into the grass next to him, where there were many nameless small wild flowers, purple, white, and pink, blooming in a large patch.

Feng Sheng'e hurriedly followed him, calling him "Fei Yang'a, Fei Yang'a! Don't run!"

"Brother! There are so many bugs here! Come here! Come here!" Fei Yang'a's excited voice came over.

Feng Sheng'e and Hong Hui hurried over and saw him sticking out his little butt and twisting his body to catch insects in the grass.

Hutuli rolled his eyes at them and complained to Changning, "Fei Yang'a just likes to catch bugs. How annoying! He even stuffed a bug into my hair a few days ago! I had to wash it several times!"

Changning was also a little helpless. Fei Yang'a was so nice to his brothers and sisters that he even wanted to share some of the insects he caught with them. As a result, he accidentally dropped them into Hutuli's hair, which scared Hutuli so much that she burst into tears.

"Big sister, let's not go over there to catch bugs, let's go hiking!"

Hutuli was obviously eager to try it out. Although he was a small kid, he could no longer contain his excitement and wanted to leave by grabbing Yierha's hand.

Yi Erha glanced at Chang Ning, and Chang Ning smiled and said, "Go ahead, walk for a while and then take the sedan chair when you get tired."

Seeing that the children soon split into two small groups and disappeared, Changning smiled and said to Yinzhen, "Look, now the little girls are playing with the little girls, and the boys are playing with the boys."

Yinzhen also took Changning's hand and said, "Let's go together."

This little hand holding made Changning blush.

Changning has always had a good physique. She would usually play shuttlecock and jump rope with Hutu in Qingzhiyuan. Yinzhen originally thought that she would get tired after walking a few steps, so he thought that he could reluctantly carry her on his back for a while.

In the storybook she wrote, Prince Aotian recited Su Niannian in this way. Yinzhen still remembered that when Changning wrote this, she was smiling with a lustful look on her face.

Yinzhen thought it was just a small matter and thought there would be an opportunity today.

Unexpectedly, Changning walked three or four miles along the mountain road in one breath before he became slightly out of breath.

However, Yierha and Hutuli could no longer walk, so Changning took the two little girls and got into the sedan chair.

Hutuli was originally very excited about climbing the mountain, but when her mother called her, she still felt that she had not walked enough and had not had enough fun!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the sedan chair, he started to complain about his feet hurting, which earned him a cold look from Changning. "I told you to show off, running around all the time. Go back and soak in some hot water. Don't walk anymore."

Hutuli was still sitting in the sedan chair, but he was still thinking about competing with Feng Sheng'e on the ground, so he asked the guards carrying the sedan chair to speed up their pace.

Feng Sheng'e didn't have the energy to compete with his sister, he was catching crickets with his brothers!

Yinzhen was teaching them to use twigs to drive the katydid out from the tail, then chase it little by little, and then quickly cover it with gauze and put it into the katydid cage.

Feng Sheng'e was patient and calm, and soon caught four or five.

Fei Yang'a was a little anxious and was always tempted by the katydids to run away. In the end, Feng Sheng'e gave him two.

Honghui was very concerned about his reputation and was unwilling to lose his pride as an older brother, so he performed the best and caught more than ten fish.
