The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Chapter 276 The old house is on fire

Changning, Hutuli, Chuixue and Zhuiyu played mahjong for several hours until Su Peisheng came to invite her to the holy carriage in front. Only then did Changning leave the table.

As soon as Changning entered Yinzhen's car, what caught her eye was a pile of bright yellow memorials on the ground.

"Oh my god, why is it so old!"

It was the first time she had seen the memorials, and seeing them all lying on the ground, her first reaction was that there were too many, and Yinzhen would have to read them day and night for three days...

The second reaction was that she couldn’t watch it... In TV dramas, many concubines relied on the emperor’s favor to interfere in state affairs and express their opinions on memorials, and were finally feared and minded by the emperor.

However, Yinzhen didn't seem to care about it at all. He quickly pulled her into his arms and sat down, burying his head in her neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Why didn't you come and accompany me?"

Changning actually heard a hint of grievance in his tone.

Amitabha!

Who could have thought that the cold-faced Emperor Yongzheng would now act like a wronged little wife and act coquettishly towards himself!

But she enjoyed it very much, and replied with a smile: "My daughters came to see me, so I played with them for a while. If you missed me, why didn't you ask Su Peisheng to call me earlier?"

"Knowing that my daughters were with you, I thought of going to see you later after they left. Who knew it was so late and you weren't done yet." At the end, Yinzhen felt a little resentful.

Chang Ning twitched his lips, a little helpless: "The car in Hutu is a little small, she'd rather be more comfortable at my place, so I'll let her ride in one with me from now on."

Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "Then let Hutuli take your car and you take mine. We can both take one."

"Ah? Will this work?" Changning was a little hesitant, but looking at Yinzhen's appearance, she nodded.

Are you kidding? I am the virtuous empress of the Qing Dynasty! What's wrong with me taking a car?

Hearing her say this, Yinzhen became even happier. The two of them flirted with each other for a while, and Changning's lips became a little swollen.

She thought to herself that something was wrong. Did Yinzhen eat mutton again at noon?

Why does he look like that old house is on fire?

This is too passionate.

Changning was indeed right. After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he had been very nervous. He was afraid that he would not be a good emperor, that he would fail the trust of the previous emperor, that he was not as good an emperor as his second brother, that the people of the world would not respect and love him, and that the civil and military officials would criticize him.

He wanted so badly to be a good emperor.

And he is a bit of a perfectionist, hoping to do everything to perfection.

So sometimes he gets tired.

In the whole world, only Yao Xian could make him truly relax. Only when Yao Xian was there and a candle was placed at the door, could he feel at home and have spiritual sustenance.

Only then did he suddenly realize that Yaoxian's position in his heart was much more important than she thought, and than he thought.

After realizing this, he felt that he could no longer live without her.

No matter how busy he was with government affairs, he was unwilling to live alone in the cold Palace of Tranquil Longevity. There, without her warm body, her pretty face, and her fragrant scent, he could not sleep well. Only by lying on the bed beside her could he feel like he had returned to a paradise.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

Both Changning and Yinzhen enjoyed this feeling very much.

It's like falling in love suddenly.

The two of them were in love for a long time before Yinzhen let her go and continued reading memorials. Fearing that she would be bored, he specially found an interesting book of strange stories for her to read.

Changning flipped through the book again and again and felt it was boring. Novels during the Ming and Qing dynasties had reached their peak, but she was a little hesitant to read those stories about ghosts, monsters and gods, so after putting the book down, she focused on Yinzhen's work.

Serious men are so handsome...

No matter how slow Yinzhen was, he could feel her passionate gaze and felt sweet in his heart. Oh, Yaoxian really loved him so much.

Changning was lost in thought as she read. Fearing that she would be bored, Yinzhen picked out interesting things from the memorial and told her: "Look at this Hangzhou weaving manufacturer. He even informed me when the abbot of Fayu Temple passed away. He really has nothing to write. He submitted more than a dozen similar memorials to pay respects before."

Chang Ning opened his mouth wide, this this this...

"Ah? Aren't all the memorials about national affairs? What about livelihood policies, local policies, etc.? Things that can affect the overall layout of the local area? How can there be such things?"

She really didn't expect that. When she came in and saw the memorials all over the floor, she thought something big had happened recently. How could there be so much nonsense?

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Really important matters are all urgent, these are all insignificant. The admiral of the Fujian Navy also said that there was a woman there who found ten gold coins and handed them over to the government."

"Good fellow, this is honesty!"

Seeing that she was interested, Yinzhen explained to her while he was reviewing the reports. There were also officials who reported how they judged cases. There was also one who reported that he was poor, saying that the roof of his house was exposed and his old mother's bed was flooded, so the whole family had to sleep under a bridge. He asked the emperor to lend him some money.

Changning said that this person was really stubborn. Yinzhen had been managing the debts owed by the Ministry of Revenue before, so why was there someone rushing to borrow money?

Look at the name again.

Ah, Li Wei.

This is a good and honest official!

"Then give him some money."

Yinzhen nodded: "Li Wei is a man of great integrity and loves the people like his own children. He is a man who can be used."

Then, he mentioned a few more names, all of whom were his more trusted ministers. Ortai was one of them, but he would only transfer him after he made achievements in local affairs.

Speaking of Ortai, Changning couldn't help but think of his daughter, Hutuli's good friend, Wanji.

"Hutuli invited Wanji to the palace a few days ago. This kid is really good. Although it is his first time in the palace, he has good rules and etiquette. He is not restrained, but knows how to advance and retreat."

Yinzhen narrowed his eyes slightly. Ortai was a minister he was planning to use. If his daughter was good, that would be great since she would be selected in the imperial examination anyway.

"By the way, Madam Nian and Nian Zhiyi are still in the capital. After Nian Gengyao left, they submitted a letter and wanted to come to the palace to meet the emperor. But they have been busy with the Mulan Paddock these days, so I haven't made any arrangements yet."

Yinzhen was not particularly interested in the affairs of the female members of the family, but he was willing to listen to Yaoxian's talk. He felt that it was like the long-lasting and carefree conversation between an ordinary couple, chatting about family matters.

"Alas, if I can be an ordinary citizen in my next life, I hope I can be with Fairy Yao for the rest of my life."

Listening to Yinzhen's emotional words, Changning actually thought about it for a while.

If there is an afterlife, they should meet again in modern times, right?
