"Hahaha, Mother, Sixth Princess is just like me and Hongxuan. Neither of us is afraid at all. Master has been praising us lately."
After hearing what Ituma Shushu and the Seventh Prince Hongzhao were saying, the Eighth Prince Hongxuan quickly interjected.
Ninth Prince Hongxuan said proudly, "Yes, Mother, Master praised both Hongxuan and Hongxu."
"Mother, Mother, we're so amazing!" Eighth Prince Hongxuan said proudly.
Seeing their smug expressions, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but retort, "I think your sixth sister is more capable."
Hongxu and Hongxuan, of course you two aren't afraid of heavy or light snow.
But Princess Tiffany had never owned a pony before; this was her first time riding a horse.
Ninth Prince Hongxuan immediately retorted, "Mother, we will definitely be the most powerful in the future."
The Eighth Prince Hongxu also shouted, "Mother, Mother, Hongxu and Hongxuan will definitely be the most powerful in the future!"
Ituma Shushu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Mother also believes that Hongxu and Hongxuan will be the most outstanding in the future, so you two must continue to work hard."
Otherwise, your mother thinks that even excluding your nephews, your sixth sister alone will soon surpass you.
Your mother has always felt that your sixth princess is energetic and bold, and that she should have good talent. Also, she is younger than all of you.
"As long as your sixth princess continues to attend riding and archery lessons, she will improve very quickly."
Actually, Ituma Shushu wasn't really trying to scare the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, since the Sixth Princess Taifeng had taken the "Shuwan Potion".
The "Shuwan Potion" works by making a girl's strength gradually double as she gets older.
If Consort Ning hadn't managed to get the Sixth Princess Taifeng to learn riding and archery, the Sixth Princess Taifeng would have been perceived as nothing more than energetic and a bit daring, and the "Shuwan Medicine" would have had limited effect.
However, the energetic, bold, and seemingly athletic sixth princess, Tefogger, encountered a great opportunity to learn horseback archery.
In the future, as long as she puts in the effort to practice riding and archery, her riding and archery skills will be no worse than those of boys her age, and may even surpass them.
However, Princess Franá, who also took the "Shuwan Potion," is now over six years old.
However, because the fifth princess, Flora, has a quiet and reserved personality, she gives the impression of a standard little lady, unlike the sixth princess, Tefonge, who, despite her young age, gives the impression of a mischievous girl.
As for the fact that Princess Flana's power is greater than that of girls her age, no one knows as long as she doesn't show it, so the effect of the "Shuwan Potion" is not obvious.
However, even though Princess Flana lacked athletic talent, her superior strength compared to other girls her age meant she wouldn't be at the bottom of the class in archery.
The Eighth Prince Hongxu quickly said loudly, "Mother, Hongxu will definitely work hard."
Ninth Prince Hongxuan nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, Mother, Hongxuan will definitely work hard too."
Ituma Shushu nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Then your mother will have your seventh brother keep an eye on you two."
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao looked at his mother without saying a word, thinking to himself: Mother, you've fooled the Eighth and Ninth Princes again, and you're going to bring me along too, aren't you!
However, since her mother had gone to great lengths to deceive Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, she couldn't undermine her.
So, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao said solemnly, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on Hongxu and Hongxuan."
Ituma Shushu smiled broadly and said, "Yes, Mother is very relieved."
Then she added, "You guys go and keep Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi Yi company now, they miss you."
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan all stared speechlessly at their mother, thinking to themselves: Mother, are you sure the Tenth and Eleventh Princes miss us and aren't annoyed by us?
...
The next day was the day to pay our respects to the Empress.
Everyone quickly arrived. After the Empress took her seat, she first took a sip of tea and then said, "You should have all heard about the Fifth Princess, the Sixth Princess, and the princesses from several princes' residences coming to the palace to learn riding and archery yesterday, right?"
After her eyes flickered a few times, Consort Yu spoke first: "Your Majesty, after receiving your decree yesterday, I sent the Fifth Princess to the training ground."
Then, Consort Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty, just like Consort Yu, after receiving your decree, I sent the Sixth Princess to the training ground."
Consort Qi nodded and said gently, "Your Majesty, I have heard about it. Moreover, the eldest princess of Hongshi's household also entered the palace yesterday. I thought something had happened."
“Yes, the eldest princess of Hongzhou’s household also entered the palace. I was quite surprised at the time.” Consort Yu raised an eyebrow and spoke up.
After a moment of hesitation, Consort Xi said softly, "When I heard about this, I was thinking of having this servant bring the Second Princess from Hongli's residence to my place to rest for a while."
Later, seeing that neither Consort Qi nor Consort Yu had brought the princess to their palaces, I decided to let it go.
Ituma Shushu said softly, "Yes, Your Majesty, yesterday Hongzhao and the others said that the Fifth Princess, the Sixth Princess, and the three princesses went to the training ground for riding and archery lessons with them."
The Empress nodded and said gently, "After discussing it with His Majesty, we have decided that from now on, all the princesses who are six years old or older from the residences of the three Beile (Princes Hongshi, Hongli, and Hongzhou) will come to the palace to attend classes with the princesses."
Upon hearing this, Consort Qi, Consort Xi, and Consort Yu exchanged glances, then rose and bowed, saying, "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace, thank you for Your Majesty's grace."
The Empress waved her hand to signal them to sit down before continuing, "Originally, the princesses were taught by matrons in the princess's quarters, but our Emperor favors several princesses."
Unable to bear seeing the princesses separated from their birth mother at such a young age, it was decided that they would move to the princess quarters when they turned eight.
Consort Yu and Consort Ning exchanged a glance, both overjoyed. They quickly rose and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty the Empress."
The Empress waved her hand, sighed, and said softly, "Consort Yu and Consort Ning, please sit down. I understand your feelings, and I am equally grateful to the Emperor."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Consort Yu and Consort Ning responded in unison.
