Then the Empress paused for a moment before continuing softly, "But now, Consort Shu is indulging these two young princes so much, and the Emperor is also indulging them. He has never even asked Consort Shu to strictly teach these two young princes."

Granny Chun was a little puzzled. She whispered, "Your Majesty, if Consort Shu really becomes ill, will the Emperor allow the concubines in the harem to raise the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince?"

After a moment of contemplation, the Empress slowly said, "As the Empress, if the Emperor were to entrust the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince to my care, the situation would become quite complicated. Therefore, the Emperor will not entrust them to my care."

As for Consort Qi, Consort Xi, and Consort Yu, considering that they all have adult princes, and that the Tenth and Eleventh Princes have three brothers from the same mother, the Emperor would not entrust the two young princes to them for upbringing.

The concubines who held the rank of Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi were among them.

First of all, Consort Jing and Consort Qi can be ruled out, because they had a minor disagreement with Consort Shu before.

Moreover, Consort Jing and Consort Qi are the youngest among the consorts and are not mature enough. The Emperor would not feel at ease entrusting the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince to their care.

Although Consort Ning and Consort Yu had experience in raising children, they had previously devoted themselves entirely to the Sixth Princess and the Fifth Princess.

If the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince were suddenly handed over to Consort Ning or Consort Yu to raise, they would naturally be overjoyed, since raising these two princes would mean that they would have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives.

However, their attention still had to be on the Sixth Princess and the Fifth Princess, so the Emperor was not comfortable entrusting the two young princes to them for upbringing.

Finally, only Consort Yun was left. Although she had no experience in raising children, she was usually kind and reserved.

If the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince were entrusted to Consort Yun for upbringing, Consort Yun would dedicate herself to raising the two princes for the sake of her own future. Therefore, the Emperor would probably feel at ease entrusting the two princes to Consort Yun for upbringing.

Moreover, this is precisely the time when the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince are clingy. If Consort Yun were smart, she would know that this is a great opportunity. As long as she takes care of the two young princes wholeheartedly, she can gradually gain their dependence.

In the future, the Tenth and Eleventh Princes will definitely treat her as their own mother. Anyway, the two princes are still young now; by then, they won't even remember Consort Shu anymore.

The Empress sighed and said softly, "Even though the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince often mention Consort Shu, Consort Yun is the one who appears most frequently in the memories of the Tenth Prince and Eleventh Prince."

Moreover, the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Princes have noticed how kind Consort Yun is to the Tenth and Eleventh Princes, and they might take extra care of her as well.

Unless Consort Yun is mentally unstable, she will definitely take care of the two young princes wholeheartedly.

"Yes, so among the concubines in the harem, Consort Yun is the most suitable to raise the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince."

After taking a sip of hot tea, the Empress continued softly, "As for whether the Emperor will allow the concubines in the harem to raise the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince, it's hard to say."

Because the Emperor's intentions have become increasingly unpredictable in recent years, perhaps he will even raise the Tenth and Eleventh Princes himself.

After hearing these words, Granny Chun nodded and whispered, "The Empress is right. The Emperor's thoughts are truly unpredictable. However, no matter what Consort Shu does, it won't affect the Seventh Princess."

Upon hearing this, the Empress smiled and said, "I am now glad that I listened to the advice of Consort Ning and Consort Yu and established Jing Shu Pavilion."

Although Alchuka is not as skilled in riding and archery as the Sixth Princess, she can still ride a horse and run a couple of laps, just like the Fifth Princess and the other princesses.

Granny Chun happily added, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess has become noticeably more cheerful and lively ever since she went to Jing Shu Pavilion."

Thinking of Consort Shu now, the Empress sighed and whispered, "Granny Chun, you know about my health before. Actually, I was worried that I wouldn't live to see Alchuka grow up."

Granny Chun's expression changed drastically, and she whispered, "Your Majesty the Empress."

The Empress patted Granny Chun on the shoulder and said softly, "Granny Chun, don't be anxious. I was just thinking about myself because of Consort Shu. Besides, I am much older than Consort Shu."

I am truly grateful that I insisted on establishing Jing Shu Ge back then, no matter what happens to me in the future.

Even if I am no longer here in the future, and can no longer accompany the Seventh Princess, Alchuka.

As long as the Seventh Princess, Alchuka, studies at Jing Shu Pavilion like the Fifth and Sixth Princesses, she won't be too far behind.

As the Emperor's only legitimate daughter, she certainly didn't lack his favor, but her future depended on Princess Alechuka herself; she needed to learn to protect herself and her child.

Afterwards, the Empress frowned and pondered for a while before instructing, "Granny Chun, take some servants to the Princess's residence tomorrow to prepare."

Granny Chun looked puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess is only six years old, but you want me to prepare the Princess's quarters. Do you want the Seventh Princess to go to the Princess's quarters?"

The Empress nodded solemnly and said softly, "The Fifth Princess moved into the Princess's Residence when she was eight years old. The Sixth Princess moved in when she was seven because she wanted to keep the Fifth Princess company."

Originally, I was reluctant to let the Seventh Princess, Alechuka, move to the Princess's Residence at the age of six. I had planned to wait until she was seven years old before letting her move in.

But now, thinking about Consort Shu's situation, I feel I should be more ruthless, because the future is often unpredictable.

Besides, the Fifth and Sixth Princesses are already there, and they have a good relationship with the Seventh Princess, Alchuka. So it wouldn't matter if the Seventh Princess, Alchuka, is younger and moves to the Princess's residence.

After all, the three sisters have each other's company, and the seventh princess, Alchuka, will gradually adapt to life in the princess's residence. After that, she will slowly learn to live independently.

"From now on, even if something were to happen to me, Alechuka would be able to take better care of himself, and I could rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Granny Chun nodded and whispered to comfort her, "Your Majesty, please don't think such things. Your health has been very good these past few years, and it will continue to be so!"

Your Majesty, you must not worry so much. You should think about the good things. You still need to see the Seventh Princess get married and have children!
