In the palace of Consort Yu.
A eunuch hurriedly ran into the main hall, then knelt down and bowed to Consort Yu, saying, "Greetings to Consort Yu."
Consort Yu waved her hand and said, "Get up."
"Your Majesty, just now, Eunuch Su, who is by the Emperor's side, personally brought the three princes from Qingyun Yaxuan to Jiuzhou Qingyan."
No sooner had the eunuch finished speaking than Consort Yu suddenly stood up.
Her face darkened, her eyes turning cold and sharp. "What did you say? Say it again."
The eunuch quickly lowered his head and repeated, "Your Majesty, just now, Eunuch Su, who is by the Emperor's side, personally brought the three princes from Qingyun Yaxuan to Jiuzhou Qingyan."
Consort Yu's expression changed several times, and finally she said in a flustered tone, "You may leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the eunuch withdrew, Granny Ping, who was waiting nearby, couldn't help but whisper, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant guesses that Consort Shu of Qingyun Yaxuan is having some problems with the imperial fetus, which is why His Majesty brought the three princes to Jiuzhou Qingyan."
Upon hearing this, Consort Yu's anger subsided slightly, but her eyebrows remained raised in protest. She said indignantly, "Even if Consort Shu is somewhat inappropriate, Your Majesty should not bring the three princes to your side now."
Before the Seventh Prince was born, my Sixth Prince was the Emperor's youngest son, but the Emperor had never shown him any favoritism over the years. However, since the Seventh Prince was born, the Emperor has consistently shown him favoritism.
During the Seventh Prince's first year studying at the Imperial Study, the Emperor actually set aside one day each month to invite him to lunch at the Jiuzhou Qingyan Restaurant. Now, everyone in the court and the harem knows that the Emperor dotes on the Seventh Prince.
Granny Ping couldn't help but whisper to comfort her, "Your Majesty, after all, the Seventh Prince was born many years after the Emperor ascended the throne, so it's normal for the Emperor to favor him a bit."
But Your Majesty, look at this now—and let me be blunt—it's possible that Consort Shu and her unborn child won't survive this! Then the Seventh Prince will be without a mother!
In my humble opinion, Consort Shu's so-called prayers for blessings are all empty talk. The reason she was able to give birth to the Seventh Prince safely, and even had the good fortune to give birth to the Eighth and Ninth Princes, is because she resembles her mother.
Now that she's unlucky, pregnant with twins again, it could be a triple tragedy. So Your Majesty, you really don't need to be angry about the Emperor bringing the three princes to the Nine Provinces Palace.
Consort Yu's complexion was indeed much better. She said gloatingly, "That's right, Consort Shu's so-called prayers for blessings are all a bluff. She's just putting on a show for the Emperor. If she were really blessed, she wouldn't be pregnant with twins again this time."
Last time she was pregnant with twins, I thought she might have the life to carry the pregnancy but not the life to give birth. I never expected that she would actually give birth to the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince safely.
"Hmph, this time she's definitely doomed. So what if she gave birth to three princes? She still won't live to enjoy their blessings."
In the palace of Consort Yu.
Consort Ning frowned and whispered, "Consort Yu, is Consort Shu really not well? Otherwise, why would His Majesty bring the three princes to Jiuzhou Qingyan at this time?"
Consort Yu's already slightly furrowed brows furrowed even more, and she whispered, "It's probably very likely. To be honest, when I heard that Consort Shu was pregnant with twins this time, I didn't know whether I should be happy for her or not."
Consort Ning asked in a low voice, "What does Consort Yu mean?"
Consort Yu sighed and said softly, "Consort Ning, you and I have both experienced childbirth. For us women, every time we give birth, it really feels like we've walked through the gates of hell."
When Consort Shu gave birth to the Eighth and Ninth Princes, I was really worried for her. But Consort Shu was incredibly lucky and gave birth to them safely.
At that time, I thought that if I were in her shoes, I would rather not have the blessing of having twins. I don't have the great fortune of Consort Shu, who was able to have both mother and children safe and sound during her twin pregnancies.
Who knew that Consort Shu was pregnant with twins again? Are twins so easy to give birth to?
Upon hearing this, Consort Ning tightened her grip on the needle and thread in her hand and whispered, "I understand what Consort Yu means. When I gave birth to the Sixth Princess, I felt weak several times, but later, for some reason, a surge of strength would always come from my body."
At that time, I thought that it must be because God had taken pity on me, which is why in the end, both the sixth princess and I were able to live in peace.
"Even giving birth to one child is this dangerous, let alone Consort Shu giving birth to twins. Moreover, Consort Shu has already been pregnant with the emperor's children twice. If her previous pregnancies and childbirths damaged her body, this time it will be even more difficult."
Consort Yu's expression grew even more somber. She whispered, "That's why His Majesty brought the three princes to Jiuzhou Qingyan at this time."
Consort Ning frowned and said in a low voice, "But if we bring the three princes to Jiuzhou Qingyan at this time, Consort Qi, Consort Xi, and Consort Yu will definitely have objections. I'm afraid that if Consort Shu really passes away, they will make things difficult for the three princes. After all, the Emperor is busy with many affairs of state and there are always times when he can't attend to everyone."
Consort Yu and Consort Ning exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes, and finally they both sighed helplessly.
Qingyun Yaxuan.
Ituma Shushu leaned back on the soft couch and said softly, "It seems that I am really not used to not having Hongxu and Hongxuan bickering."
Xia Ju immediately comforted her, "Your Majesty, a few months will pass quickly, and then the two princes will be back arguing with you again."
Ituma Shushu waved her hand and said gently, "You don't need to worry about me. When Hongzhao went to study in the Imperial Study, I was not used to it at first, but I gradually got used to it."
Besides, Hongxu and Hongxuan will be going to study at the Imperial Study in another year; I'm just getting used to it a little earlier.
Dongmei also comforted her, saying, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is doing this for your own good. After all, you are already more than six months pregnant with the imperial heir. The Emperor has taken all three princes to Jiuzhou Qingyan, so Your Majesty can now focus on your pregnancy."
Yes, that's right. That night, after discussing it with Ituma Shushu, Emperor Yongzheng decided to take the blame himself.
Therefore, today Ituma Shushu told the servants of Qingyun Yaxuan that because the Emperor was worried about her and the three princes, he decided to bring the three princes to Jiuzhou Qingyan for a period of time so that she could rest assured and prepare for childbirth.
Ituma Shushu smiled and said, "I can feel His Majesty's kindness. Moreover, His Majesty even invited my mother to the palace to accompany me for a few days."
