Chapter 152 Not Worthy of Praise



Because information traveled so fast in the world I was in before I traveled there, people often accepted the first information they received.

Having witnessed the destructive power of such rumors, I really don't take their gossip to heart, especially since they are princes of this feudal dynasty.

These rumors will not affect their future lives at all; they will still have plenty of money and resources.

I just wanted to get those two lazybones, the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao, to exercise more. Of course, the most important thing is to sign in and collect life points.

It should be noted that before, whether it was the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, or the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, Consort Shu only took them to visit the Yuanmingyuan Garden a month before they went to the Imperial Study.

However, ever since Consort Shu started taking the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao to visit the Yuanmingyuan, the rumors about the two of them being unable to walk have mostly disappeared.

It seems that Consort Shu's method was really effective this time. Well, it was much more effective than the "Record of Awakening from Delusion" that I personally compiled back then.

After he finished compiling the book, he even mobilized resources from the capital to the local areas to promote it. As a result, the book "Dayi Juemi Lu" became very popular.

But the effect was something even he himself couldn't praise!

However, he is much calmer now when he thinks about that letter about his "ten major sins" than before.

However, I never dreamed that someone would portray me, the emperor, in such a way.

After Emperor Yongzheng marveled at how much more effective Consort Shu's method of dispelling rumors was than his own back then, he made a comparison between the three princes—the Third Prince Hongshi, the Fifth Prince Hongli, and the Sixth Prince Hongzhou—and the three princes—the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan.

Finally, Yongzheng thought of the name in the secret succession plan, his eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: The seventh prince, Hongzhao, is still too young.

...

Pure, unique, and beautiful.

At this moment, Ituma Shushu was painting in her study. After several years of hard work, her painting had finally taken shape.

Ituma Shushu looked at the painting of the Beginning of Summer and the Grain in Ear and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, your painting skills are getting better and better," Xia Ju whispered from the side.

Dongmei whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty, although I don't know how to paint, I can tell from the paintings of the Beginning of Summer and the Grain in Ear that Your Majesty has painted them well."

Ituma Shushu smiled and said, "Are you still thinking that the paintings I made back then, such as the Beginning of Winter, Heavy Snow, and Light Snow, were obviously poorly done?"

Xia Ju and Dong Mei covered their mouths and laughed.

Dongmei said with a smile, "The paintings of Beginning of Winter, Heavy Snow, and Light Snow that Her Majesty painted back then were just as the Seventh Prince said, unique and different."

"Yes, Your Highness, after the Seventh Prince went to study in the Imperial Study, he said that Your Highness's paintings were extraordinary," Xia Ju said, covering her mouth.

"Hahaha, it's amazing that you all still remember," Ituma Shushu said with a laugh.

Then, Ituma Shushu instructed, "Dongmei, put my painting in the other box."

"Well then, from today onwards, all my paintings will be placed in that other box."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Dongmei nodded in response.

At this moment, Xia Ju seemed to remember something and said, "Your Majesty, the new palace maid arranged by the Imperial Household Department today has been settled. Starting tomorrow, Su Juan will take care of her."

Ituma Shushu nodded and sighed, "It feels like Chunhua left the palace not long ago, but now Qiuyue has already left as well."

Dongmei also spoke up, "Your Majesty, that's because Chunhua and Qiuyue entered the palace around the same time, which is why Your Majesty was so moved by their consecutive departures."

"However, after serving Your Highness for so many years with Chunhua and Qiuyue, it's a bit hard for me to get used to them leaving the palace one after another!" Xia Ju said with emotion.

Dongmei nodded and said, "That's true."

At this moment, Ituma Shushu remembered the news her mother had brought yesterday, and she said with a smile, "Speaking of Chunhua, my mother brought me good news yesterday. She is doing well after getting married and is now several months pregnant."

Xia Ju said, "That's wonderful. As long as Chunhua gives birth, she'll have someone to rely on in the future."

Dongmei also put her hands together and said, "That's wonderful. I hope God will bless Chunhua."

Then, Xia Ju asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, I wonder how Qiu Yue's family treats her?"

Ituma Shushu said gently, "Yesterday I had my mother pass on a message to my elder brother and the others to keep an eye out."

Moreover, I had already told Qiuyue that if her family treated her badly, she should try to escape and seek help from my family.

The palace maids who leave my palace must never be bullied by other servants, not even Qiuyue's family members.

Dongmei comforted her, "Your Majesty, before Qiuyue left the palace, Xiaju and I also gave her some instructions."

We are Your Highness's servants; even if we venture outside the palace, we would embarrass her. Therefore, if things seem to go wrong, Qiuyue will run away first.

Ituma Shushu sighed and nodded.

Just then, the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao entered.

"Mother."

"Mother."

Ituma Shushu said softly, "Honghao and Hongyao are awake."

"Yes, Mother."

"Yes, Mother."

The tenth prince, Honghao, and the eleventh prince, Hongyao, responded in unison.

Seeing how well-behaved the two children were, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in her heart.

She stepped forward, took their hands, and said softly, "Come on, let's go for a walk."

...

Ituma Shushu was strolling around the Yuanmingyuan with the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao when they ran into Consort Yun and several others.

"Greetings to Consort Shu."

"Greetings to the Tenth Prince."

"Greetings to the Eleventh Prince."

Consort Yun, accompanied by two Noble Ladies and two Attendants, bowed to Ituma Shushu and the others.

"No need for formalities, please rise."

Ituma Shushu spoke calmly.

"Your Highness, are you taking the two princes for a stroll again today?"

Consort Yun spoke.

Ituma Shushu nodded and said softly, "Consort Yun has quite a companion today."

Consort Yun smiled and said, "When I have nothing to do, I often stroll around with a few noble ladies to pass the time."

Ituma Shushu had always been wary of Consort Yun, so she immediately said, "Well, you may continue. I'll take my leave now."

Although Consort Yun wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Ituma Shushu a bit more, she could only bow with the two Noble Ladies and two Attendants and say, "Respectfully seeing off Consort Shu, respectfully seeing off the Tenth Prince, and respectfully seeing off the Eleventh Prince."
