The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Chang Ning curled his lips and said, "There are no outsiders here, so of course Ning'er can speak casually. Don't mind it, Master."

Yinzhen was really impressed by this funny guy. After eating five or six dumplings in a few bites, he carried the woman to the bed.

"Master, why are you so anxious?"

"Digest the food. I ate too many dumplings."

On this day, the carriage and horses had already been prepared. Changning was wearing a smoky purple Manchu dress, which was gorgeous yet not vulgar. On her, she looked charming but not coquettish. She also wore the red gem that the Fourth Master had given her last time, which made her look truly dazzling.

Fu Jin nodded and said, "Sister Fu Cha dressed well and didn't embarrass Lord Beile."

Changning glanced at her and saw that Fu Jin seemed to be just praising her casually and caring about the Fourth Prince's face.

"Okay, get in the carriage." Yinzhen first sent Fu Jin to the first carriage, but he was not in a hurry to get in. He turned around and sent Chang Ning to the second carriage, and said gently, "Don't be afraid, just follow Fu Jin there. She knows the general situation and will not let you get into trouble."

Chang Ning smiled, her smile was bright and unrestrained, and indeed she showed some of the demeanor of a noble lady. "Master, don't worry about me. I am the legitimate daughter of the Fucha family. Not many people dare to give me a hard time. If there is anyone, I will slap them in the face."

Yinzhen was also amused, "You really are the daughter of a general. Fine, just don't be bullied."

Soon they arrived at the Prince of Zhi's mansion. Yinzhen was a male guest, so he naturally went to the front yard. Fu Jin and Chang Hua were female guests, so they followed to the back yard.

Along the way, I found that the Prince of Zhi's mansion was spacious and bright. There were not many scenes, but there were quite a few trees such as pine and cypress. It seemed that they were for the convenience of martial arts practice, but there were also some decorative ingenuity, which was the credit of the Prince of Zhi's wife.

"Fourth sister-in-law is here!" The first person to speak was Thirteenth Lady, Concubine Zhaojia. Thirteenth and the Fourth Master had always had a very good and close relationship, and Zhaojia was also quick to follow suit and had a very close relationship with the Fourth Lady.

Zhaojia was a round-faced woman. Her appearance was not particularly outstanding, but she looked very gentle and amiable.

She was also very tactful. After paying respect to Ulanara Yanhua, she paid respect to Changning. "Little Fourth Sister-in-law is indeed very elegant!"

Changning nodded in greeting. She had heard of Thirteen, Yinzhen's good brother.

Now it seems that the Thirteenth Lady is also a good one.

Today's host is the Prince of Zhi, but the Prince of Zhi's wife has been in poor health ever since she gave birth to a child. She already had a lot of deficiencies, and then she gave birth to many children in succession. Now she is unable to get out of bed even after the confinement period.

Therefore, Prince Zhi specially asked Prince Cheng's wife, Dong E, the wife of the third prince Yinzhi, to help with the arrangements.

Dong E was the daughter of Pengchun, Duke Yongyi, and the great-granddaughter of Heshuo Efu Heshuo Tu. Heshuo Tu married the daughter of Daishan, Prince Li. She was the direct descendant of He Heli, one of the five founding ministers, and Princess Gulun Duanzhuang, the eldest daughter of Nurhaci.

She was of noble status and somewhat arrogant. At this time, she only entertained the legitimate wives of equal status to her, and she ignored the concubines.

After Changning arrived, the Third Lady Dong E didn't even glance at her as she was chatting intently with Lady Yan Hua.

Changning was still unwilling to pay attention to her. Everyone knew that the Third Lady was kind-looking but had a cruel heart. Now all the sons under the Third Master's name were hers alone, and the rest would die one by one.

The Crown Princess will not come, so I just sent a gift.

Among the other female members of the family, the Fifth Lady Tatarai was of low status and had a very easy-going personality. She chatted with Changning and Zhaojia for a while.

"Really? Can that old loofah really be used for bathing?" Hetale was very surprised. She had heard of pearl powder and various perfumes that could be used for bathing, but this was the first time she heard that loofah pulp could also be used.

Chang Ning nodded firmly. "Of course. You've never scrubbed your body, right? If you don't scrub your body for a long time, even if you take a bath every day, there will still be some keratin in your body, that is, some discarded and bad skin."

He Talai couldn't help but touch his arm. He didn't know if it was due to psychological reasons, but he felt that it was indeed a little rough.

On the other hand, Changning's skin is delicate and smooth, and looks so delicate that it could be blown away. I couldn't help but reveal an envious look.

Zhao Jia, who was standing by, was also a little tempted. She had also heard that ever since the fourth sister-in-law came into the mansion, she had been favored in the exclusive room and the fourth brother had never stepped into anyone else's room.

Looking at it now, although Sister-in-law Si is beautiful, her skin is really delicate and fair!

Zhao Jiashi herself was plain-looking, so she paid special attention to beauty recipes. Now that she knew this, she wanted to go back and try it. The same was true for He Talaishi.

"I heard that the ladies in the palace all use cow's milk, goat's milk, etc. to bathe, and it seems to be very effective, but it's too extravagant." Zhao Jia whispered.

Obviously, everyone has a lot to say when it comes to beauty.

Changning thought about it and felt that using those for bathing was indeed a luxury. She was more interested in using them for drinking and making snacks.

"Go back and try the sponge gourd. It's really useful. Ask the maid to rub it well. Maybe a layer of mud can be rubbed off."

Hetalai and Zhaojia looked at each other and suddenly looked a little uncomfortable. A layer of mud? That's too exaggerated.

Before they could continue the discussion, they heard someone laughing very loudly, which seemed particularly out of place in the hall.

Changning looked back and saw that it was the Eighth Lady, Guo Luoluo. This was a famous jealous woman in history, and she also played many roles in some film and television dramas.

Chang Ning could neither like her nor dislike her. She was indeed a rare unrestrained woman in ancient times. She lived a carefree life, but she gave other people a bad impression. For example, at this moment, Chang Ning heard her talking about herself.

"No matter how good her family background is, Fourth Sister-in-law, since she is a concubine, you must suppress her. What kind of person is she? How can she turn the world upside down?"

Changning sneered. The Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo's words offended most of the women present. Which master doesn't have one or two concubines? There are seven or eight in this flower hall alone, and their faces are not looking good at the moment.

Changning had no intention of pampering her. She had already been slapped in the face, and it would not be her character to endure it any longer.

"I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be Eighth Brother's wife." Chang Ning emphasized the word "sister-in-law" with extra emphasis. "Eighth Brother's wife didn't take good care of Hongwang, the Eighth Master's only child, but she was meddling in other mansions' affairs. I guess Eighth Brother's wife's family is from Lingnan, near the sea, so she's very nosy."

The Eighth Lady had a bad temper and immediately raised her eyebrows. "You concubine..."

Before she could finish, Chang Ning interrupted her with a sharp voice, "Eighth Lady, be careful with your words! I am the official concubine, listed in the royal book of jade! You keep calling me concubine, why do you still use the Han Chinese way of addressing me? Is Guo Luoluo very dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty ruled by the emperor? Are you still thinking about the old Han dynasty?"
