The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

"Yeah, twins again."

Changning couldn't help but admire her own "good luck" in getting pregnant. This time she had two babies, which really saved her a lot of effort.

Yinzhen was so happy that he was thinking about what else he could give to Yaoxian.

Although it is a joy to be pregnant with twins, it is really hard.

So, the next day, Changning heard Tingfeng report that the prince had ordered the people in the mansion to carve ice, saying that the carvings had to be novel and interesting, and as long as Concubine Chun was satisfied, there would be a generous reward.

Who in the mansion doesn’t know that Mrs. Chun is the real winner?

Not to mention that she has been favored for many years, she already has three children, and she is pregnant again, and it seems that she is having multiple babies again. Even the wife has not shown up for a long time?

Because he supported Concubine Chun, Prince even removed Concubine Chun's housekeeper power.

This is a person with real means! With a powerful family, her mother's mother can be called the Fucha Zhongtang, and she is in the prime of her life.

So everyone in the mansion tried their best to carve the latest and most ingenious ice sculptures. If this could be noticed by Concubine Chun, wouldn't it be a big success?

In the following time, Changning really looked at all the ice sculptures.

There were naive boys holding peaches, extremely delicate and gorgeous palace lanterns, lifelike monkeys picking peaches, majestic and elegant Buddha statues, and ice sculptures of beauties that looked like fairies. All of these were really a rare sight for her.

Another month passed, and the blizzard outside had stopped for a long time. I heard that there were many victims on the grassland and in the Northeast, and many people had frozen to death due to the cold weather.

When Changning heard the news, his heart beat fast, thinking about what he could do.

She wrote down on paper some of the heating measures and disaster prevention measures she had heard of in modern times, selected some that were suitable for the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, and asked Yinzhen to choose which ones could be used.

Yinzhen appreciated her kindness, but did not want to let her worry about it, as she was pregnant. It would be difficult to worry about it, so he just told her to leave the matter of the snow disaster to him.

It just so happened that Su Peisheng also picked a few maids to come over and ask Changning to check the things that were given to Hutu.

Changning has a Nanny Zhang by her side, who is mature, experienced, loyal, and helps her a lot, like her right-hand man.

If there were no Chuixue and Zhuiyu, she would feel a little uncomfortable, but if there was no Nanny Zhang, she would feel uneasy.

Therefore, Changning attached great importance to the nanny beside Hutuli.

This is different from the maid chosen for her last time.

The little girl only needs to be sensible and well-behaved, and be able to play with the child. But the nanny must have noble character, be able to take good care of the child, be able to give advice, be able to keep calm, be able to deal with the people under her, and not cross the young master, and cannot be stronger than the young master.

The two people Su Peisheng chose were Nanny Yin and Nanny Tao.

The two maids came to pay their respects to Changning first.

They had long heard of the reputation of this Lady Chun, so they did not dare to act rashly and behaved very politely.

Chang Ning nodded slightly, and said in a serious tone: "The maids are all experienced in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't have much to say about the rules and etiquette. But Hutuli is still young, so there is no need to be too restrained. Just learn some important etiquette, and the rest can be omitted."

Having said that, Changning stared closely at the expressions of the two maids and found that Nanny Tao's expression remained unchanged and was very calm, but Nanny Yin disagreed a little, but did not open her mouth to refute.

Chang Ning pretended not to see it and continued, "Hutuli already has several maids taking care of her daily life. I hope you can all get along peacefully and do good for the young master. Also, I asked you to come here to teach her the truth and give her advice, not to make decisions for her. If I find out who is secretly trying to make the master stronger and is pretending to obey but actually disobeying, you will not end up well!"

"Also, don't think that Hutuli is young and you don't treat her as your master. She is the daughter of the prince, the daughter of the Aisin-Gioro and Fucha families, and you can't control her. Do you understand?"

After some intimidation, the two maids surrendered and nodded in agreement.

Changning would not suppress them blindly. He gave a wink and Chuixue took out two pairs of red gold bracelets with Ruyi patterns, which were inlaid with gems and looked very valuable.

"This is my gift to the two maids. As long as you work hard in the future, you will definitely receive benefits from them."

Nanny Tao and Nanny Yin quickly accepted it and knelt down to kowtow: "Don't worry, Concubine Chun, I will serve you wholeheartedly."

After dealing with the two maids, Chang Ning called Hu Tuli over and asked her, "Do you know how to subdue them?"

Hutuli thought for a moment and said, "Should we give them more benefits?"

Chang Ning shook his head: "There will be more and more people around you. It will be difficult to win their hearts by just relying on small favors."

That’s something Hutuli couldn’t think of.

Chang Ning touched her head and said, "Everyone has selfish desires. It's the same for everyone. You have maids and servants around you. You just need to let them remember that there is only one master, and that is you. Whether it's a maid or a servant, they are all the same to you. They are just servants. If you don't like them, you can change them at any time."

Hutuli suddenly realized, and Changning continued: "But this doesn't mean you don't take them seriously. The more loyal the people around you are, the easier it will be for us to do things ourselves. You have to make them listen to you first and treat you as their master, and then give them what they need and then give them benefits."

Hutuli nodded and said in a childish voice, "Mother, but I think my elder sister's nanny is very fierce. She controls what my elder sister eats and never allows her to have more snacks."

Changning frowned. The nanny who taught the young master often had great power.

Take the palace for example. The princes and princesses are the emperor's biological children, and are still under the control of the maids. Those who are not favored are almost all dependent on others and listen to the maids.

The etiquette education in childhood and the establishment of a mansion and marriage when growing up all have the role of the nanny. For example, the nanny in charge of the Fourth Master's mansion now, Ma Ma, is his teaching nanny. Now that the wife is not in charge of the household, the mansion affairs and the warehouse are all controlled by her.

This is even more so for princesses and noble ladies.

Changning heard that some maids were in charge of the princess and her husband's bedroom affairs. If the husband offended these maids, he would not even be allowed to enter the princess's mansion.

When Changning heard about it, he just felt that the slave was bullying his master.

It was just like a post she saw in modern times, where a woman said that her husband had employed a domestic helper for several years, but the helper didn't recognize her position and was always sarcastic and critical of his new wife. The poster couldn't stand it anymore, so she reported the problem to her husband and asked him to fire the helper.

As a result, the aunt asked her husband in return, whether he wanted her or the poster.

Changning was so angry that he was going crazy. She was his own wife, how could such an outrageous thing happen?

Therefore, she felt that this kind of thing must not happen to her children.
