This time, Emperor Yongzheng's bestowal included several pieces of jewelry that were not previously available. The list of bestowals was quite long: "300 taels of silver, 3 bolts of gauze, 3 bolts of spring silk, 3 bolts of palace silk, 3 bolts of cloud satin, 3 bolts of plain satin, 3 bolts of commercial silk, 3 bolts of Pengduan; 1 silver ingot beaded flower branch, 1 kingfisher feather begonia flower headdress, 1 coral eighteen-bead bracelet, 1 canaan sandalwood gold-inlaid bracelet, and 1 pair of gold rings inlaid with Dongzhu earrings."
The Empress's rewards were similar to the last time, only the quantities were larger. The reward list read: "300 taels of silver, 2 bolts of silk, 2 bolts of spring silk, 2 bolts of palace silk, 2 bolts of cloud satin, 2 bolts of plain satin, 2 bolts of commercial silk, and 2 catties of cotton."
Ituma Shushu was overjoyed as she looked at the list of rewards from Emperor Yongzheng and the Empress. She knew that the original owner of this body had always lived off her monthly allowance.
She was overjoyed and instructed Dongmei with a smile, "Dongmei, after these gifts are put into storage and registered, keep the jewelry that the Emperor bestowed upon you. I like them."
She thought to herself: In the original owner's situation, she didn't have many pieces of jewelry. These few pieces of jewelry bestowed by Emperor Yongzheng could be kept and worn; there was no need to put them in the storeroom.
Dongmei happily replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will register and put them into the treasury immediately. Those pieces of jewelry bestowed by the Emperor look very suitable for Your Majesty, and you will look very beautiful wearing them."
Ituma Shushu laughed and said, "You're such a smooth talker, girl. You and Xiaju can each have one of these two bolts of plain satin."
Xia Ju and Dong Mei bowed happily and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Because she gave birth to a prince this time, Consort Qi, Consort Xi, Consort Yu, Consort Ning, Consort Yu, Consort Yun, Consort Jing, and Consort Qi all sent congratulatory gifts.
Therefore, she really gained a lot this time.
Speaking of Consort Ning, when Ituma Shushu was eight months pregnant, she obtained that strange object, the "Poisoning Angel," and on a whim, she gave Consort Ning a "Girl-Giving Pill."
She thought to herself: There shouldn't be any other time traveler as bizarre as me!
They actually gave the emperor's other concubines in the harem a priceless miracle drug called "Daughter-Giving Pill"!
Leaving aside the effects of the "Daughter-Giving Pill," it's important to know that both the "Daughter-Giving Pill" and the "Son-Giving Pill" require her to pay with her life force every month.
Ituma Shushu sighed. He was also forced into this situation. How could a nobody like him possibly have a way to extend the lifespan of Emperor Yongzheng?
Since there's a cheat code called "Dawn Mall," let's try using the items inside, even if it's just a last resort.
There are only a few items available for people to use in the "Dawn Mall," among which the most effective are the Fertility Pill and the Daughter-Giving Pill.
Ahem, she couldn't possibly give Yongzheng a pill to make him conceive a son or a daughter!
Let's first see if the pregnancy and childbirth of other concubines in Yongzheng's harem have any impact on his lifespan.
After all, the birth of a child can still affect the fate of the biological father.
Ituma Shushu felt that she could only try her luck with the items in "Dawn Mall" now.
She snapped out of her thoughts and prepared to open "Dawn Mall" to take a look.
After opening "Dawn Mall", she used her mind to create a small hand and pressed the light blue button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent tablet of "Dawn Mall".
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
Ituma Shushu
[Vital Energy: -700]
Lifespan: 1 year and 11 months
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
【Additional Information】
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 11 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
Looking at Yongzheng's "11-month lifespan," Ituma Shushu murmured to the seventh prince in her arms, "You brat, your old woman is just an unlucky wretch!"
The Seventh Prince responded with his little face blowing bubbles.
Ituma Shushu has finally finished her postpartum confinement period.
She took several long baths before she felt a little cleaner and more refreshed.
During the month that Ituma Shushu was in confinement after giving birth, both the imperial court and the harem became lively.
The harem was formed because of the sudden rise to power of Ituma Shushu, a favored concubine.
In just over a year, she rose from an unknown concubine to the powerful Consort Shu.
Now, apart from the Empress, Consort Qi, Consort Xi, and Consort Yu, all the other concubines in the harem have begun to use various methods to seduce Emperor Yongzheng.
They all hoped to give birth to a son or daughter and become the next Consort Shu.
Meanwhile, many ministers in the previous dynasty submitted memorials to Emperor Yongzheng, proposing that a general election be held this year.
This month, Emperor Yongzheng has indeed frequently visited his youngest son, the Seventh Prince, at the Spring Breeze and Autumn Moon Pavilion, which explains why the entire harem is restless.
The youngest prince, the seventh prince, soon had his own name: "Aisin Gioro Hongzhao".
The next day, Ituma Shushu rewarded Granny Gu and Granny Rong handsomely and instructed Xiao Shunzi to escort the two nannies back to the Imperial Household Department before returning to report.
After she finished her postpartum confinement, the two nannies who were supposed to return to the Imperial Household Department did not go back. They served her for more than half a month. Only now that she was no longer so busy taking care of the Seventh Prince did she prepare to go back. Of course, this was also approved by Emperor Yongzheng.
Ituma Shushu instructed Xiaolinzi and Xiao Anzi to take good care of the Spring Breeze and Autumn Rain Pavilion.
He then carefully instructed Xia Ju and Dong Mei: "Only let the wet nurses come in to feed the Seventh Prince when he is hungry. After the Seventh Prince has eaten his fill, you should send the wet nurses back to their rooms. You should also take turns arranging the wet nurses and not let the same wet nurse feed him all the time."
