In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and today is the first day that the Seventh Prince Hongzhao went to the Imperial Study.

“Hongzhao, studying is secondary. You're still young, just think of it as playing…”

In the end, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but ramble on and on.

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, looked at his mother speechlessly. So what his father said was true; his mother was indeed unreliable at times.

However, to reassure his mother, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao nodded and replied, "Yes, Mother, I understand."

Looking at the expression on the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's face, Ituma Shushu knew that he must be complaining about her unreliability again.

"Alright, Mother won't nag you anymore. Hmph, are you complaining about how unreliable Mother is again?" she said.

Of course, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao would not admit it. He said in a serious tone, "Without Mother, Hongzhao only complained about you once before, so you don't need to keep remembering it."

"Hmph, your mother is just not going to hold it against you. You were born of your mother, don't you know me well?" Ituma Shushu said gently.

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, stuck out his tongue.

“Alright, let’s set off now,” Ituma Shushu said softly, holding the hand of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.

Then, Ituma Shushu solemnly said, "Little Yezi, Little Zhuozi, Little Dingzi, Little Cuizi, you all must serve the Seventh Prince well."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Watching the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's disappearing figure, Ituma Shushu sighed, "Xiaju, Dongmei, let's go back."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xia Ju and Dong Mei replied with a bow.

After returning to Qingyun Yaxuan, Ituma Shushu sat on the embroidered couch and enjoyed tea for a while.

Then, she couldn't help but sigh, "In the blink of an eye, Hongzhao has gone to study in the Imperial Study."

Xia Ju also said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I also suddenly feel that time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed."

Dongmei put down the teapot and said, "Your Majesty, in a few years, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince will also be studying in the Imperial Study."

Upon hearing Dongmei mention the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, Ituma Shushu's worries immediately vanished. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm actually looking forward to the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince going to the Imperial Study to study as soon as possible."

Dongmei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty, even if you say that, you will still feel reluctant to part with it when the time comes."

Xia Ju also smiled and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, I think you'll be sighing for a while when the time comes."

"You two see, without seeing their seventh brother today, Hongxu and Hongxuan definitely won't be able to keep quiet."

They won't cry, they've never liked to cry since they were very young. But the two of them will definitely drag your empress to me, to go find their seventh brother.

Ituma Shushu said with a helpless expression.

Xia Ju and Dong Mei couldn't help but laugh when they thought about the personalities of the Eighth and Ninth Princes.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Not long after Ituma Shushu finished chatting with Xia Ju and Dongmei, the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan came in.

"Mother, Mother."

"Mother, Mother."

Ituma Shushu said softly, "Yes, Hongxu and Hongxuan, are you hungry? Your mother will have breakfast with you."

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry, Mother."

The Eighth Prince, Hongxu, responded.

Ninth Prince Hongxuan stepped forward, took her hand, and said, "Mother, let's go have breakfast."

“Okay, let’s go now.” Ituma Shushu then stood up, took their hands and said softly.

After having breakfast with the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, Ituma Shushupei took them to see Xiaoxue and Daxue.

During lunch, the two little ones noticed that the Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, was missing.

As expected, the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan then began to take her hand and search for their Seventh Brother everywhere.

And so, Ituma Shushu spent her days outwitting and outmaneuvering the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, gradually getting them used to the days when the Seventh Prince Hongzhao went to study in the Imperial Study.

That morning, in the small study of Qingyun Yaxuan.

The two little princes, the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, were scribbling and drawing on the side, while Ituma Shushu would occasionally glance at the two little ones and then practice her calligraphy.

At this moment, "Dawn Mall" suddenly turned on automatically, and a large red light lit up in the upper right corner of the virtual transparent panel, flashing continuously.

Ituma Shushu looked bewildered. What was going on?

It should be noted that ever since the Empress gave birth to the Seventh Princess, which added three years to Yongzheng's lifespan, she has done nothing with "Dawn Mall" except for silently signing in to collect life points and exchanging her lifespan to the limit every month.

So what's the current situation?

The last time "Dawn Mall" automatically turned on and lit up with a red light, that was the second upgrade.

Is this the third upgrade? But why would there be a third upgrade out of nowhere?

The first and second upgrades were both traceable!

What exactly is going on this time?

Ituma Shushu felt a sense of unease. She stared at the flashing red headlight and fell into deep thought.

I've only just been able to settle down and start living a good life, and now this "Dawn Mall" is causing trouble again!

Okay, let's not think the worst. Maybe there will be some surprises.

I can't be that unlucky forever!

Although Ituma Shushu was still feeling very uneasy, she couldn't just let the red headlight keep flashing and ignore it.

Well, because maybe by then "Dawn Mall" won't need you to press this red light anymore; it will refresh automatically.

Well, you know what, given the erratic nature of "Chenxi Mall," it might actually do something like that.

You should just go and do it yourself, at least you'll be mentally prepared.

Thinking of this, Ituma Shushu took a deep breath, then used her mind to form a small hand and pressed the red headlight. Immediately afterward, the red headlight disappeared.

The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displays:

[Ding! "Dawn Mall" has absorbed the energy of the Emperor Stone and needs to be closed for seven days to upgrade some functions. Do you want to upgrade now?]

Imperial Stone?

What is it?

Ituma Shushu was completely confused. What was the Emperor Stone?

Did "Chenxi Mall" find it itself?

The first upgrade shut it down for an hour, the second upgrade shut it down for a day, and now the third upgrade is shutting it down for seven days.

However, I was completely confused about this upgrade and had no idea what "Dawn Mall" was doing.

Ituma Shushu pondered for a long time, and finally sighed. She decided to upgrade now, since she would have to face it sooner or later anyway.

So she silently said, "Yes."

Then, "Chenxi Mall" automatically shut down.
