After hurriedly finishing speaking, Ituma Shushu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I only wish for the reward of Chunqi Xiuse."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongzheng's expression eased slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then, he seemed to ask casually, "Consort Shu, why are you so determined to move to a place larger than Qingyun Yaxuan?"
Ituma Shushu first glanced cautiously at Yongzheng, then lowered her head and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have my own selfish reasons for wanting to move to a place bigger than Qingyun Yaxuan."
Your Majesty is aware of my habit of praying for blessings in the morning, so I'm thinking of moving to a place larger than Qingyun Yaxuan.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongzheng remained noncommittal at first, while casually tapping the rim of the white jade cup with his index finger. Then he nodded, acknowledging Ituma Shushu's statement.
In fact, Emperor Yongzheng was very pleased with himself at this moment. He was very satisfied with Consort Shu's choice. After all, he had initially thought that Consort Shu would take advantage of his favor and ask for some excessive rewards, but he did not expect that Consort Shu only wanted to move the palace.
Next, Emperor Yongzheng gently picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said in a gentle voice, "I remember last time, I had already planned to promote Consort Shu's father and elder brother."
However, because Consort Shu requested that I bestow a marriage upon your twin brothers, I ultimately did not promote your father and elder brother.
Emperor Yongzheng paused for a moment, then continued in a gentle voice, "So I thought that Consort Shu would ask for rewards for your father and elder brother this time?"
Ituma Shushu thought to herself: As expected, Emperor Yongzheng is very suspicious. It seems that he has been testing me all night.
Ituma Shushu seemed to hesitate for a moment, then she slowly said, "I told Your Majesty before that my father and elder brother are both honest and upright people, so I thought their positions were the best."
"I'm not afraid of Your Majesty laughing at me, because my father and elder brother are both honest and law-abiding people. Therefore, my household is managed jointly by my three Manchu aunts: my youngest aunt, my mother, and my sister-in-law."
Emperor Yongzheng...
Ituma Shushu seemed to have gone all out, and she continued, "The Emperor also knows that our Manchu grandmothers can receive a large sum of 'flag money' before they get married, right?"
To be honest, Your Majesty, my nanny, my mother, and my sister-in-law were all very energetic and outgoing before they got married. So after they came to our family, they also took charge of the household together with my grandfather, father, and elder brother.
Previously, my nanny had my mother pass on a message to me, saying that I didn't need to ask the Emperor for favor, and that since my father and elder brother weren't that tall, they shouldn't wear such large hats.
My nanny also said that as long as I am well, and as long as my brothers are well, I am their greatest support, so I don't need to ask the family for any rewards or anything like that.
After listening, Emperor Yongzheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your old lady is truly a rare person of clarity, but Consort Shu, you don't seem to have the demeanor of a Manchu lady."
After hearing what Consort Shu said, Emperor Yongzheng also remembered that he had ordered a thorough investigation of her family last time, and it was indeed as Consort Shu said.
Ituma Shushu thought to herself: If the original owner had that kind of personality, she probably wouldn't have been chosen to enter the palace.
She pretended to be embarrassed and whispered, "Your Majesty, my nanny always says that I don't look like my mother, but rather like my father."
Then, after a moment's thought, Emperor Yongzheng said, "Chunqi Xiuse has always been managed by servants. Consort Shu, you can move there in a few days."
Ituma Shushu was overjoyed and quickly stood up to bow, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yongzheng was even more pleased when he noticed that Ituma Shushu's joy was genuine and not feigned.
The next morning, Ituma Shushu finally relaxed completely after seeing Emperor Yongzheng off.
At this moment, she couldn't help but smile with joy at the thought that she could move to Chunqi Xiuse in a few days.
Next, Ituma Shushu explained the arrangements for moving the palace to Dongmei and Chuling in detail.
After giving her instructions, she said, "Chu Ling, go and call Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Ling bowed in response.
Not long after, Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi followed Chu Ling in.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
They knelt down and bowed.
Ituma Shushu waved her hand and said softly, "Get up, everyone."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi responded.
Then, Ituma Shushu said with a smile, "I will be moving to Chunqi Xiuse in a few days. I have already given instructions to Dongmei and Chuling about the relocation arrangements."
So later, Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi, you two will take the other servants and follow those two to start packing up Qingyun Yaxuan's belongings.
When Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi heard Ituma Shushu say that they were moving to Chunqi Xiuse, they were overjoyed. They immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Ituma Shushu nodded and said with a smile, "Tell the other servants that I will reward them all after they move to Chunqi Xiuse. Now you may all leave."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Not long after Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi left, Xia Ju and Chu Yin arrived with the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince.
Ituma Shushu then instructed, "Dongmei, Chuling, you can go and get back to work."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dongmei and Chuling bowed in response.
A few days later, Ituma Shushu moved to Chunqi Xiuse.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu was sitting in the pavilion, while the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan stood beside her.
She gently picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and the fragrant tea flavor immediately filled her mouth, making her feel refreshed and relaxed.
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but squint her eyes with a look of enjoyment before putting down her teacup and saying softly, "Hongxu and Hongxuan are back."
"Mother, Hongxu hasn't gone far."
“Mother, Hongxuan is the same.”
"Mother, this pavilion is bigger than the old one!"
"Mother, Mother, this place is so beautiful."
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan said excitedly.
Ituma Shushu smiled and said, "That was a gift from your Emperor to Mother, of course it's beautiful!"
Yes, it's still necessary to flatter Emperor Yongzheng appropriately.
However, Chunqi Xiuse is truly beautiful; this country bumpkin once again experienced the beauty of the royal gardens.
Rocks, ponds, pavilions, and towers stand independently yet complement each other, creating a harmonious scene.
The rocks are unique and varied in shape, as if they were the work of nature's divine craftsmanship.
The pool is clear, with rippling blue waves that reflect the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding scenery.
The pavilions and towers are hidden among the green trees, appearing and disappearing, adding to the sense of mystery.
