The next morning, as always, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao went to pay his respects to Ituma Shushu.
Ituma Shushu stroked his head and said softly, "Hongzhao, your mother and your father discussed it last night. Today, you, Hongxu, and Hongxuan will all be staying at Jiuzhou Qingyan for a while."
The Seventh Prince looked bewildered and immediately asked, "Mother, why are my two younger brothers and I going to live in Jiuzhou Qingyan?"
Ituma Shushu said softly, "Because Mother can't devote her energy to Hongxu and Hongxuan now, but Mother is also worried about entrusting them to other people to take care of."
Then we can only entrust the two of them to your imperial father's care, but your imperial father is busy with affairs of the previous dynasty.
So after discussing it, we decided that you should also accompany Hongxu and Hongxuan to Jiuzhou Qingyan for a period of time.
So for the time being, Hongzhao, you don't need to go to the Imperial Study for now. However, after you go to Jiuzhou Qingyan, you can teach Hongxu and Hongxuan to write.
"Once your mother gives birth to your younger brother or sister, you'll all move back to Qingyun Yaxuan."
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao nuzzled Ituma Shushu's palm with his head, then held her hand tightly and said, "Mother, Mother, you and your younger brother or sister must take good care of yourselves."
Ituma Shushu held the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's hand and said softly, "Hongzhao, you must believe your mother. For your sake, and for the sake of Hongxu and Hongxuan, your mother will definitely be alright."
...
Watching the figures of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxu disappear from sight, Ituma Shushu sighed, "Xiaju, Dongmei, let's go back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xia Ju and Dong Mei supported Ituma Shushu with worried expressions.
The wind is gentle and the moon is bright.
Little Li hurriedly ran in and quickly whispered something in Grandpa Fu's ear.
After listening, Eunuch Fu frowned and then questioned Xiao Li in detail.
Finally, he waved his hand, signaling for Little Li to step down first.
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Fu walked quickly toward the main hall.
Just then, Granny Chun came in from outside. Seeing that Eunuch Fu's expression was strange, she casually asked, "What's wrong, Eunuch Fu?"
Eunuch Fu frowned and said, "It's news about Qingyun Yaxuan. I was just about to report it to Her Majesty the Empress."
Upon hearing this, Granny Chun didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly followed behind Eunuch Fu, walking quickly towards the main hall.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress."
Eunuch Fu and Granny Chun bowed and said.
The Empress was dealing with palace affairs at the time. When she saw the two of them, she waved her hand and said, "Get up, both of you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Eunuch Fu and Granny Chun stood up and said..."
"Your Majesty, news just came from Qingyun Yaxuan that His Majesty has ordered Eunuch Su Peisheng to personally escort the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince to Jiuzhou Qingyan."
Eunuch Fu quickly bowed and stepped forward to report.
After hearing what Eunuch Fu said, the Empress frowned and asked, "Seventh Prince, aren't you going to the Imperial Study to study today?"
Eunuch Fu replied, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince was indeed supposed to go to the Imperial Study to study today, but he did not go."
Moreover, according to Xiao Li and his companions, the eunuchs also took the rabbits that the princes kept to Jiuzhou Qingyan.
Little Li and his companions also noticed that the eunuchs were carrying some of the three princes' belongings, suggesting that the three princes were going to reside at the Jiuzhou Qingyan residence.
Granny Chun couldn't help but ask, "But why did the three princes choose to reside at Jiuzhou Qingyan?"
Eunuch Fu said, "The Emperor has cleaned up Qingyun Yaxuan several times, so we can hardly find out anything about it."
The Empress frowned and instructed, "Eunuch Fu, arrange for some more people to keep a close watch on any disturbances in the harem starting today."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will do it right away."
Grandpa Fu bowed and replied immediately.
The Empress nodded, signaling Eunuch Fu to step down.
After Eunuch Fu left, Granny Chun whispered, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with Consort Shu these days?"
After putting down the account book in her hand, the Empress said softly, "It's not easy to be pregnant with twins. It's also possible that Consort Shu started having some problems some time ago, and it might be more serious now than before."
Granny Chun nodded and whispered, "Your Majesty, weren't there rumors in the palace before that Consort Shu's pregnancy was going to be difficult, and that there was a high possibility of her and her unborn child dying together?"
The Empress frowned and said, "There were similar rumors when Consort Shu was pregnant with the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince."
After all, a woman is already on the verge of death when she gives birth to her first child, let alone when she is pregnant with twins.
Twin pregnancies are indeed much more dangerous than single pregnancies, so both this time and last time, the Emperor ordered Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Wang, the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy, to work together to ensure Consort Shu's safe delivery.
Granny Chun continued in a low voice, "Your Majesty, even if Consort Shu has something wrong with her, His Majesty doesn't need to bring the three princes to Jiuzhou Qingyan so early."
Isn't Your Majesty afraid that the Third Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince will have something to say about this?"
The Empress's brow twitched slightly, and she said softly, "This is also what puzzles me. What if Consort Shu really has an accident now?"
Based on my understanding of the Emperor, I think it's normal that he didn't trust the three princes to be handed over to other people in the harem, so he brought them to Jiuzhou Qingyan.
After all, when Consort Nian had her accident, the Emperor was worried about entrusting Fu Hui to other people in the harem, so he personally raised Fu Hui by his side.
However, even though Consort Shu's actions were inappropriate, nothing serious has happened yet. Logically, the Emperor should have sent more people to care for the three princes, rather than bringing them all to his side so early.
In the palace of Consort Qi.
Lin Mama whispered, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Emperor has brought all three princes from Qingyun Yaxuan to his side."
Consort Qi slammed down her teacup, her face grim. She said, "Even my son Hongshi has never been personally taken by the Emperor's side. Last time, the Emperor raised Lady Nian's son by his side."
Lin Mama quickly comforted her in a low voice, "Your Highness, those who are not blessed will always be not blessed. Even though the Emperor raised Nian's son, he still died young in the end."
In the palace of Consort Xi.
The Empress Xi's eyes turned cold. "Granny Tao, what do you think His Majesty means? Why did he suddenly bring those three princes to his side?"
Granny Tao quickly whispered, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the one from Qingyun Yaxuan is not well, which is why His Majesty brought the three princes to his side."
The Empress Xi's expression softened a little, and she said, "It would be better for the Emperor to bring the three princes to his side than for some people to benefit from them."
