The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Chapter 187 Mother-Son Love

Chang Ning considered his words carefully and spoke slowly: "The Essentials of Zhenguan Politics once said that the way to be a king is to save the people first. If you want to pacify the world, you must first correct yourself."

Hong Yan blinked. He had read this sentence before, but this was the way of the king, which his master had never talked about.

Chang Ning knew that the people who were aiming for that position were still the princes. The princes and grandchildren had not yet developed any ambitions, and the most they wanted was the future position of the crown prince. If they were told about the great cause of seizing the throne, it would simply be a fantasy.

However, it is still very beneficial for those in high positions to cultivate themselves.

"Hongyan, you must know that you should do your job and fulfill your responsibilities. Your Aisin-Gioro family is the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, and you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world. You must put the people's well-being first. Because the actions and words of those in high positions can affect thousands of people. Mother, I don't ask you to be open-minded and have a long-term vision, but to be down-to-earth first."

Hong Yan nodded, intending to keep his mother's words in mind and think about them carefully.

In the evening, when Hongzhao and the others came over again, Hongyan had regained his composure. Being with his mother and his sisters and brothers made him feel extremely relaxed.

There is a new dish today, which was made by Changning's order: candied sweet potato.

It was sweet and stringy, and the children all enjoyed it very much.

After finishing the meal, Hongzhao took Hongyan and said that he would go to his grandparents' house with him the next day to play with Duoxihun, Alin and Agangan.

Hongyan looked at Yinzhen and agreed when he saw his father nod. The two brothers walked away together, holding hands affectionately.

After the children had all left, Yinzhen and Changning sat together and talked.

Yinzhen frowned: "Hongyan is a little too well-behaved this time. I'm afraid he has been trained in the palace."

Chang Ning was also distressed: "Of course it is. There are not so many rules to follow with my own father and mother."

Yinzhen sighed: "The rumors in the palace are getting more and more tense. No wonder the children are scared. I don't know what's wrong with the emperor recently..."

What else can I do? I am old. I am getting more paranoid as I get older. Chang Ning complained in his heart.

But despite all his complaints, Yinzhen still cared about his father, but was worried that he would misunderstand him. However, the most urgent matter was the two sons who had just returned home.

The next day, Yinzhen went to see his two sons and called Honghui and Hongyan to the study, saying that he wanted to test their knowledge. But later he still had a good talk with them, which helped to comfort the two boys' restless hearts.

Hongyan and Hongzhao wanted to go to Fucha Mansion, and Hutuli also wanted to go with them. Honghui couldn't follow them, so he returned to the main courtyard alone.

Fu Jin was making clothes for him at that time. It was a windy and snowy winter day. Honghui was weak and could not catch a cold. He could not go horse racing or even skiing outside. Therefore, the stitches had to be dense and even the fur was of the best quality, carefully selected by Fu Jin.

As soon as Honghui entered the room, he saw that his mother had finished making a half-finished cloak. From the size, he knew it was for him. His heart warmed and he hurried over.

"Mother, it's dark in winter and the light is not good. Please make less clothes. I still have enough to wear."

Fu Jin smiled gently, "Silly child, you don't have enough clothes. Mother sees that you have grown a lot taller this year, so this cloak needs to be made a little bigger. It's just that you are a little thin. The palace is different from the mansion, and the rules are strict. This time in the mansion, you can eat more of your favorite food to nourish your body. Mother just asked them to stew warm porridge for you, drink a bowl to warm your body."

Honghui nodded obediently and sat aside to accompany Fu Jin in doing needlework.

Chaoxia brought a small bowl of steaming porridge. This warm porridge had been cooked for a long time, and the ingredients inside were all melted. There was a thick layer of rice oil. When she turned it over with a spoon, she found that the red beans had turned into sand. There were also some medicinal herbs for replenishing qi and blood. It tasted sweet and warm when she took a bite.

Fu Jin felt more at ease than ever before. Snowflakes were flying outside, a charcoal basin was burning in the house, and her beloved son was drinking porridge beside her. She was in a happy mood. It was nothing more than this.

Honghui thought so too.

He liked this warm atmosphere, which healed him better than any panacea.

He thought that he would always remember his mother's gentle smile, the mother who mended his clothes and did needlework, the mother who saw the falling snow outside the window, and the bowl of sweet, hot porridge.

"Mother, mother!"

There were also two little kids in Qingzhi Courtyard calling for their mother.

The brothers and sisters were all out, and Hongmin and Hongchen came back with their short legs to stick to Changning.

Fu Cha Changrong sent over a pair of rabbits a few days ago. They were white, plump, and fluffy and cute, and were immediately welcomed by everyone in Qingzhiyuan, young and old.

Tuan Tuan was originally very dissatisfied with this short-haired creature that had taken away his attractiveness and glory, and he often went to the rabbit nest to scare them.

Unexpectedly, these two rabbits were so timid that they trembled at the slightest provocation. Tuantuan found it very boring and just regarded it as two little brothers for himself. He ignored them, as they were just two stupid creatures without intelligence.

Besides, she has her own maids and eunuchs. Yuzhu takes care of her and makes clothes for her every day, and Xiaokangzi cleans her shit every day.

Those two stupid rabbits who couldn't understand human language just ate and pooped.

Too low-level.

Tuan Tuan was arrogant again, patrolling the territory in a swaggering manner.

But she was followed by her husband and three children.

Now the three kittens have grown into two-year-old cats, and are gradually looking like Tuantuan.

The kitten Taxue in Hutu is the only female cat. Like Tuantuan, she has a proud and vain personality. She licks her fur every day and is well taken care of by Hutuli, so she always smells good.

The kitten chosen by Hongzhao was named Yangtui. It is now fat and strong, the fattest of the three kittens. It is estimated to weigh about ten pounds. It sleeps and plays with Hongzhao every day.

Hongyan's kitten Wangchen used to be with Changning, but now that Hongyan is back, he can take care of it himself.

As for Tuantuan, she will always be Changning's youngest daughter and her favorite. As for Yuanyuan, he is just a son-in-law who is just a tool. Anyway, it's fine as long as the daughter likes him.

Just like that, Tuantuan nestled in Changning's arms, feeling very comfortable being stroked, squinting his eyes, wagging his tail, and looking very relaxed.

As a result, as soon as Hongmin and Hongchen arrived, they took Changning to see the rabbits.

Tuantuan was a little unhappy and kept meowing.

Changning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He coaxed Hongmin and Hongchen to go see the rabbits by themselves. He continued to touch Tuantuan's belly and couldn't help complaining.

"You, you are so old, but you are still jealous of the rabbit. Aren't you ashamed? Oh, what else can I do? I can only spoil my own daughter. Tuantuan, you have to fight for it. I see Yuanyuan has been pestering you again these past few days. Don't forget that he stole your chicken leg."

Listening to Changning's chattering, Tuantuan closed his eyes and began to snore again.
