The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Changning was very concerned about the eldest princess Yierha. As a princess from a Beile's mansion, especially since her father would become the emperor in the future, it would be better for her to have power.

But the relationship between her and Fu Jin is a little delicate now. Fu Jin is under great pressure from her. Fortunately, Yinzhen is working outside and her third brother saved the emperor's life. Otherwise, people might say that Yinzhen favors his concubine over his wife.

Ever since the accident that happened to the lady, Honghui and Yierha seldom came to Qingzhiyuan, saying that they were afraid of disturbing her pregnancy.

However, Changning also knew that if there was a gap, there would be a gap.

Therefore, she couldn't interfere in the matter of Yierha being controlled by the maid. She could only tell Hutuli that next time she went to play with her elder sister, she could remind her tactfully and she could take out the master's money to prevent the maids from shitting on her neck.

Hutuli looked disgusted: "Mother, why did you say you were pooping on my neck? It's almost time for lunch!"

Chang Ning smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, it's just a common saying, forget it, we will eat the pot later, and I will make you another bowl of noodles."

"I want some hand-rolled noodles, with more sesame paste."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

In the blink of an eye, it was March. There was a hint of spring in the capital, but it was still snowing in the northeast and the Mongolian grasslands. The court's disaster relief grain had already been sent, but a prince was needed to go and check on it.

It's a tough job.

It was freezing cold there. I heard that many people's ears were frozen off. Some people went out to drink and fell asleep on the side of the road when they were drunk. They were frozen stiff the next day.

The Prince of Zhi and the Crown Prince both volunteered to provide disaster relief.

The emperor agreed to neither.

In Yonghe Palace, the Fourteenth Prince was nagging Concubine De, chattering non-stop.

"Mother, please help me and the Emperor. I really want to go and gain some experience."

Concubine De looked at her youngest son helplessly.

"Yinzhen, this is no joke. You have no experience in disaster relief. The disaster in Mongolia and the Northeast is serious. There may be unrest. Why are you going to cause trouble? You can't do such a delicate job as disaster relief. Besides, how much money and grain are involved? How long will it take to argue with local officials? You don't have such a smooth mind."

Listening to Concubine De's disparagement, the fourteenth eldest brother was unhappy, his mouth pouted and he muttered: "Here it comes again, it's my fault again, you don't give me a chance, how do you know I can't do it? Fourth brother has done so many things in the court, and eighth brother has always had something to do, but I am the only one who is idle all day long and runs around."

De Fei attacked him mercilessly: "Thirteenth, there is nothing wrong with him, but he can calm down and think seriously, and study hard. If the emperor can use you, he will naturally arrange a job for you."

Fourteen was a little unconvinced: "He has been burning down his house recently. The Thirteenth Princess is going to descend to Mongolia, which makes him very anxious. He originally wanted to show off in front of the Emperor."

Hearing this, Concubine De immediately glared at him and shouted, "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? The older you get, the more stupid you become? Are you trying to say that Thirteen is dissatisfied with the emperor's decision?"

Fourteen was stunned when he saw his mother getting angry, and when he heard these words, he broke out in a cold sweat: "I didn't mean that, mother."

Concubine De didn't even want to look at him again.

"You are so old, but you still have such an unruly temper. With your condition, I would not feel at ease even if the emperor lets you go to provide disaster relief! You do not even know how to be cautious in what you say and do. Do you think this is a small matter? The affairs between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty have always been a big deal. Do you think you can question whether or not to pacify Mongolia?!"

Fourteen wanted to say something more, but was chased out by Concubine De, so he had to return home dejected.

Defei sat alone on the couch, thinking about her luck, and she felt a little regretful.

She gave birth to the fourth child, but was raised by Empress Xiaoyiren. She then gave birth to the sixth child and several daughters, but they all died young. The only ones who grew up were Wenxian and the fourteenth. So, she doted on the fourteenth, but who knew that it would develop her current brainless personality.

Think about how Uyama had risen from a palace maid to the position of Defei today. She had gone through so many hardships and was considered a smart person. Her children were also smart and lively. Why was the fourteenth child like this?

Is he his own biological son?

There is no point in thinking about this issue now. Defei has made up her mind not to let the fourth and fourteenth princes get involved in the disaster relief work this time, because she has a vague feeling that the emperor has his own plans for this matter.

But when talking about the Thirteenth Princess, she felt a little reluctant.

Concubine Min Zhangjia was previously a resident of Yonghe Palace. Thirteenth Prince and the two princesses all grew up in Yonghe Palace, so Thirteenth Prince has such a good relationship with the Fourth Prince and Fourteenth Prince.

Although her biological daughter, the fifth princess Wenxian, was not raised by her, she died soon after getting married. In her heart, she regarded the thirteenth and fifteenth princesses as her own daughters.

Unfortunately, after Concubine Min passed away, the emperor sent the two princesses to the Yikun Palace. She never saw them again. Before leaving, the Thirteenth Princess came to say goodbye in person and gave her a stack of hand-embroidered handkerchiefs. She saw that the stitches were fine and meticulous, and she put a lot of effort into it. What a good child.

But Fu Meng was no small matter. Concubine De didn't approve of them crying and shouting as if they had been to some bitter and cold place when they heard about Fu Meng. This was the emperor's political affairs, so how could they interfere?

Someone also reported to Kangxi what had just happened in Yonghe Palace.

When Kangxi heard that the Fourteenth Prince went to see Concubine De and hoped to participate in the disaster relief, he was very pleased. The Fourteenth Prince was already grown up and wanted to share the worries with his father.

But when he heard that Thirteen was worried and angry about Princess Wen Ke, he felt a little unhappy.

He recalled the dream in which Prince Zhi was drunk and heartbroken because of the eldest princess's caress.

His heart softened at that moment, but then he felt a kind of loneliness that no one could understand.

In his position, many things are beyond his control.

There is an old saying that goes, "It's lonely at the top." I think this is the case.

But speaking of dreams, he remembered the dream he had a few days ago.

In the dream, Baocheng had been destroyed by himself, and Baoqing had also been imprisoned by himself.

The position of crown prince has been on the agenda for a long time. Among them, the eighth prince Yinsi has the highest support. All the court officials follow his lead. He is also known as the "Eighth Wise King", and he is very proud of it.

However, during the autumn examination in Rehe, this rebellious son actually gave himself a gift, which was two dying Saker Falcons.

In Manchu tradition, the Saker Falcon is the god of all eagles, the closest being to God, and a symbol of the emperor. These two dead eagles are simply slapping themselves in the face, saying that they are unworthy of their position and are too old.
