That's because I get up to pray for blessings every day before dawn.

However, after praying for blessings, I always take a nap.

So it's not just you, but also the future wives of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.

You don't need to come and pay your respects to me every day.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince's wife, Niohuru, glanced at the Seventh Prince, Hongzhao.

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, said, "My Lady, Mother is right. She has always maintained this routine."

The Seventh Prince's Consort, Niohuru, nodded and said softly, "Then Mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely come to Chunqi Xiuse to keep you company more often."

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu said gently, "You've got a kind heart."

However, we don't need to come here so often now.

You are welcome to come anytime you have free time.

Now that you've just arrived at the Prince's residence, there must be many things you need to sort out.

Cough cough, actually she was thinking to herself: I haven't gotten used to this wife yet.

The Seventh Prince's wife quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, Mother."

Ituma Shushu nodded.

Then she said to the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, "Hongzhao, you should take Niohuru back to rest first."

The Seventh Prince Hongzhao nodded and replied, "Yes, Mother, then my wife and I will return to the Prince's residence."

Ituma Shushu waved her hand and said softly, "Yes, you can go back now."

"Yes, Mother."

Ituma Shushu watched the retreating figure of the Seventh Prince's Consort, Niohuru, and her brow twitched slightly.

Then, she opened "Dawn Mall".

Then, Ituma Shushu used her mind to create a small hand and opened the small compartment containing the malicious sensor.

Then, the portrait of the seventh prince's wife, Niohuru, was placed into the malicious sensor.

The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:

[Ding! Malice value: -38]

[Ding! 40 HP deducted]

Ituma Shushu raised an eyebrow when she saw the information on the panel.

Sure enough, no one likes to go and greet their mother-in-law first thing every morning.

Well, nobody likes their mother-in-law to put on airs when drinking tea with her daughter-in-law.

The favor shown to him by the Seventh Prince's Consort, Niohuru, was clearly greater than yesterday.

However, this also proves that the consort chosen by Emperor Yongzheng was indeed a person who understood the bigger picture.

Ituma Shushu's biggest fear is encountering someone who becomes suspicious and paranoid if you treat her well.

Believe it or not, there really are quite a few people like that in the world.

It is said that people who are prone to suspicion are particularly insecure.

This might be related to the living environment she grew up in.

After all, who would doubt someone who is good to them if they hadn't gone through something together?

Well, on the other hand, one must be vigilant to survive in the harem.

...

Xia Ju and Dong Mei stared blankly at Ituma Shushu as she looked at the backs of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and his Seventh Consort Niohuru.

The two of them thought that Ituma Shushu wanted to keep the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and the Seventh Princess Consort Niohuru!

So Xia Ju whispered, "Your Majesty, if you want the Seventh Prince and Seventh Princess to stay a little longer, you can just say so!"

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu came to her senses and said with a smile, "Oh dear, you've misunderstood."

I was thinking about something else, so I got distracted.

If your empress wanted to keep them, she would definitely have spoken up.

Don't worry!

I'm not going to be foolish enough to let them go back first.

Instead, he just sat there lost in thought.

Xia Ju breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "This servant was afraid that Your Majesty was too lenient."

Dongmei nodded and whispered, "Yes, Your Highness, you can't be kind to others at the expense of yourself!"

After hearing what the two women said, Ituma Shushu felt a warmth in her heart.

Ituma Shushu realized that Xiaju and Dongmei had truly misunderstood.

Because the seventh prince's wife, Niohuru, had just entered the household.

She wouldn't need to live like the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Prince's wives did when they lived in the Yuanmingyuan.

Every day, he had to pay his respects to Consort Qi, Consort Xi, and Consort Yu.

But then he stared blankly at the backs of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and his wife.

So Ituma Shushu continued with a smile, "Actually, I only thought of this idea last night, so that the Seventh Princess Consort won't have to come to pay her respects every day anymore."

Xia Ju and Dong Mei looked at Ituma Shushu with puzzled expressions upon hearing this.

Dongmei asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why did you come up with this idea?"

You previously told the Seventh Prince and Seventh Princess Consort that you wanted to go back to sleep.

This servant doesn't believe it. I'll go back to sleep and wait until the Seventh Prince's Consort pays her respects to you.

"You can go back to sleep later!"

Xia Ju nodded and whispered, "Your Majesty, you don't usually take long naps in the morning; you actually sleep more in the afternoon."

The two women looked at Ituma Shushu again and felt that their mistress was still too lenient.

Ituma Shushu: "..."

Well, she can't exactly say that she's actually a pseudo-ancient person.

I came from another time and space.

So I really won't be like the mothers-in-law in this world.

He felt that his daughter-in-law's daily greetings were a sign of respect for him.

Because the world I used to live in was a place where people had personal freedom.

Therefore, he felt that it was troublesome for the Seventh Prince's wife to come and pay her respects to him every day.

At this moment, Ituma Shushu had a sudden thought, and she said softly, "Why would I come up with this idea?"
