Then, a thought struck her: it seemed that Emperor Yongzheng had ordered the problematic parts to be deleted and then reprinted.

So Ituma Shushu said with a smile, "Mother, I've been wondering how Father Emperor will handle the book 'Tiangong Kaiwu' lately!"

Well, Mother really didn't expect him to have it reprinted.

But your mother emphasized to your father that both Honghao and Hongyao were very interested in this book.

At this moment, Prince Guo, Hongxuan, said sourly, "I knew Father Emperor loved Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi the most."

Father Emperor must have heard Mother say that the two of them were interested.

So they had it re-typeset and reprinted.

After giving Prince Guo, Hongxuan, a glare, the Eighth Prince Hongxu said, "Ninth Prince, aren't you ashamed?"

"Chatter, are you jealous of your two younger brothers, Tenth and Eleventh?"

The Tenth Prince, Honghao, laughed and said, "Ninth Brother, aren't you ashamed!"

The eleventh prince, Hongyao, also smiled and said, "Ninth brother, Father Emperor loves the two of us the most, you can't be jealous of that."

Prince Guo, Hongxuan: "..."

Hahahaha...

Ituma Shushu and the Eighth Prince Hongxu couldn't help but laugh.

Afterwards, Ituma Shushu continued browsing the contents of "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she said softly, "Honghao, Hongyao, your mother also thinks this book is quite interesting."

There are many interesting things inside.

If you two have some free time, you could also try to make some simple items.

The tenth prince, Honghao, responded, "Yes, Mother, I'll see what I can get later."

"Yes, Mother, I'll definitely make something fun for you then."

The eleventh prince, Hongyao, nodded and said earnestly, "Mother, I'll make you a handmade item to play with later."

Ituma Shushu was both amused and exasperated. She smiled and said, "Alright, Mother, I'm waiting for your gifts."

After a long pause, Ituma Shushu frowned slightly and said softly, "Hongxu."

Your fifth sister will be getting married in about six months.

"You and Hongzhao have been busy with this matter lately, haven't you?"

The Eighth Prince Hongxu knew that he could no longer hide it from his mother, so he said, "Yes, Mother."

Previously, Seventh Brother and I were just helping each other out, but later Father Emperor entrusted Seventh Brother with most of the tasks.

Therefore, I've been going to Seventh Brother's place every evening lately to help organize some documents.

Ituma Shushu also saw from the changes in the dragon's aura that Seventh Prince Hongzhao had been training steadily.

At this moment, her brow twitched slightly, and she said softly, "Since your Emperor Father has given the order, you must do your job well."

"Yes, Mother."

The Eighth Prince Hongxu quickly responded.

Then, Ituma Shushu looked at Prince Guo Hongxuan and asked, "Hongxuan, how are things going at Prince Guo's residence lately?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Guo Hongxuan said with a serious expression, "Mother, I have already discussed it with Consort Qin and Prince Guo's wife."

Next month, I'll send Xiao Jiangzi and Granny Quan, along with a few other people, to take over some of the affairs of the Prince's residence.

Ituma Shushu nodded and said softly, "Mm."

Next month marks only one year until your wedding with Hongxu.

It would be best to send Xiao Jiangzi and Granny Quan with their people first.

That way, you and your wife, Lady Hesheli, won't be caught off guard.

Ituma Shushu couldn't help but sigh as she said this.

Then, she continued softly, "Speaking of which, among you five brothers, Hongxuan, you were actually the first to be granted a separate residence."

Fortunately, the consort your father chose for you comes from the prominent Manchu clan of Hesheli.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be an easy task for an ordinary person to manage a prince's mansion right after marriage.

Your mother gets a headache just thinking about it. There are so many things to do—gifts for holidays, banquets, and so on. It's all so incredibly complicated.

After hearing his mother's words, Prince Guo Hongxuan couldn't help but pour out his grievances.

“Mother, I only found out there were so many things going on after I consulted with the wife of Prince Guo.”

There are also some estates and such belonging to Prince Guo's manor, which bring a lot of trouble.

The wife of Prince Guo also said that although the servants handled everything, she couldn't be completely ignorant of everything!

"Oh, Mother, I thought going to the Imperial Study was annoying enough."

Ituma Shushu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and said speechlessly, "Your mother only knew that among you five brothers..."

Hongxuan, you're actually the one who least wants to study in the Imperial Study.

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, realized he had let something slip, so he decided to just go all in.

"Mother, what about the eighth prince?!"

Lao Ba is the same as me.

We both only enjoy martial arts classes.

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince Hongxu immediately glared at Prince Guo Hongxuan.

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, touched his nose and said with a grin, "Eighth Prince, glaring at me won't do any good."

Anyway, I've already told my mother.

Ituma Shushu looked at the two of them speechlessly.

Then, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if you two don't say it, your mother already knows."

I just haven't exposed you two yet.

Back when you two hadn't yet gone to study in the Imperial Study.

Mother knew that you two were both restless souls.

At that time, it was to help you get used to life in the Imperial Study in advance.

Your mother has worried herself sick over you all.

Prince Guo, Hongxuan, couldn't help but ask, "Mother, how much you worried about us back then!"

"Back then, your mother..."

Next up is Ituma Shushu's recounting of the past.

The four princes, including the Eighth Prince Hongxu, listened with great interest.

...

"Consort Shu."

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

"Myth brother, ninth brother."

"Mother, Mother."

"Your Majesty, you are beautiful."

"Your Majesty, you are beautiful."

That day, Ituma Shushu was playing with the solar terms Lixia and Mangzhong.

Yes, those were the ones who were talking just now.

Yes, those are the two parrots that the tenth prince Honghao and the eleventh prince Hongyao kept when they were young.

Speaking of which, the solar terms Beginning of Summer and Grain in Ear are now about ten years old.

However, according to servants of the Imperial Household Department, their lifespan is twenty to thirty years.

Of course, after Lixia and Mangzhong followed the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao to the Princes' Residence, Ituma Shushu had been teasing them in Chunqi Xiuse for quite some time.

Since the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao went to study in the Imperial Study, they often brought Lixia and Mangzhong to keep Ituma Shushu company.

"Summer chrysanthemums, winter plum blossoms."

"Summer chrysanthemums, winter plum blossoms."

"Summer chrysanthemums, winter plum blossoms."

"Your Majesty, the Beginning of Summer and the Grain in Ear are being naughty again."

Xia Ju stared at them speechlessly.

"Naughty, naughty."

Ha ha ha ha……

Dongmei covered her mouth and laughed.
