Pure, unique, and beautiful.
Ituma Shushu was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion, enjoying the cool air, with servants such as Xiaju and Dongmei attending to her.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu frowned as she looked at the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".
The screen displayed:
Ituma Shushu
[Vitality Points: -]
Lifespan: 2 years and 8 months
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
Now, the tenth prince Honghao and the eleventh prince Hongyao have been studying in the Imperial Study for a year.
It has been four months since I ended my so-called "rest and recuperation".
However, since he had only just finished recuperating a few months ago, he was being cautious and had not yet gone outside Chunqi Xiuse to sign in and collect his life force.
Why don't I start checking in outside Chunqi Xiuse from tomorrow to collect life points?
Hmm, well, it's just an excuse. I'm feeling better now, so I need to visit the Old Summer Palace and offer some prayers.
Just as Ituma Shushu was thinking this, Xia Ju's voice came to her ears.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you worried about the Seventh Prince's marriage?"
Ituma Shushu thought to herself: Actually, I'm not that worried about your queen.
Because I knew from the beginning that I, as the mother of the Seventh Prince, could not interfere with his marriage.
After all, in this feudal dynasty, all the marriages of princes and princesses had always been political alliances.
Princesses suffered greatly in marriage alliances because most of them were destined to marry into Mongolian families.
Alas, many of their marriages are very unhappy; good marriages are extremely rare.
Many princesses have even paid the ultimate price at a young age, so I, as the Empress, would not give birth to a princess if I had a choice.
This is not the world I lived in before I transmigrated.
This is a strictly regulated ancient feudal dynasty, where a concubine in the harem has no control over the fate of a princess's marriage.
However, compared to the marriages of the princesses, the marriages of the princes were much happier.
After all, they don't have to leave the place where they grew up and live in a strange place like princesses do.
Moreover, their marriage partners were generally not bad, since they were all women from the Eight Banners.
The young ladies-in-waiting were also educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, even if the princes did not like the appearance or temperament of their primary wives.
They could also neglect their primary wife and favor their secondary wives, concubines, and princesses.
Honestly, even if Ituma Shushu has been in this world for so many years...
Sigh, she still feels that women in this world suffer too much!
Moreover, the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflict was considered very important in the world before Ituma Shushu's time travel.
There's almost nothing to worry about between her and the Seventh Prince's future primary wife.
Because in the future, Consort Shu will not have to live with the Seventh Prince's primary wife.
Furthermore, she had a large number of servants attending to her, so she didn't need the Seventh Prince's primary wife to serve her.
The Seventh Prince's primary wife only needs to get along with the Seventh Prince; she doesn't need to worry about her mother-in-law.
Oh, I forgot that this dynasty also ruled the country based on filial piety.
As long as the mother-in-law doesn't cause trouble for her daughter-in-law, she's the best mother-in-law in the world.
Then, Ituma Shushu thought about everything that had happened since she traveled to this world, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Sigh, I already have enough to worry about just to survive.
I had no energy left to worry about anything else!
Well, right now she's still worried about whether the Seventh Prince can continue to live.
Alas, the aura of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao has remained unchanged this year.
At this moment, Xia Ju thought that Ituma Shushu had not heard what she had just said, so she continued in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the Seventh Prince's marriage?"
When Ituma Shushu heard Xia Ju's voice again, she snapped out of her thoughts.
However, Ituma Shushu could not express her true feelings.
So she said, "Yes, I am indeed a little worried about the Seventh Prince's marriage."
"Alas, I wonder what kind of consort His Majesty will choose for the Seventh Prince?"
Dongmei comforted Ituma Shushu, saying, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has chosen excellent primary consorts for the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince."
Xia Ju whispered, "Yes, the Emperor dotes on the Seventh Prince so much, he will definitely choose a good consort for him."
Ituma Shushu pondered for a moment, then pretended to have figured it out and said softly, "You two are right, I really don't need to worry too much."
"His Majesty is so wise and dotes on the Seventh Prince so much, he will surely choose a suitable consort for him."
Xia Ju and Dong Mei both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Xia Ju whispered, "Your Majesty, I hope you can think this way. I've noticed that you haven't seemed very happy these past few days."
Dongmei chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty, I remember you were happiest around the time before and after the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince went to the Imperial Study!"
Ituma Shushu felt a little embarrassed, thinking to herself: At that time, your empress had just learned that Emperor Yongzheng had lived for nine more years, so of course she was the happiest.
Ahem, besides, during that time I had already restrained myself in front of the two of you.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Ah, time flies so fast, a year has passed in the blink of an eye."
During that time, I was thinking about Honghao and Hongyao going to the Imperial Study to study.
I'll be free for a while, so I can't help but be happy.
Later, I gradually started to miss them both, and recently I've been worrying about the Seventh Prince's marriage.
...
One month later, Jiuzhou Qingyan.
Suddenly remembering something, Yongzheng put down the memorial in his hand and ordered, "Su Peisheng, bring out those portraits that I asked you to put away before."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Su Peisheng replied hastily.
Then Su Peisheng carefully took out the portraits one by one and placed them in front of Yongzheng.
Finally, Yongzheng looked at the five or six portraits in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
He thought to himself: If we observe for another six months or so, we can determine the primary consort of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao during next year's general election.
Then, Yongzheng instructed Su Peisheng: "Put these portraits away properly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, Yongzheng picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and continued to review the memorials.
As time went by, Emperor Yongzheng had almost finished reviewing all the memorials on his desk.
Suddenly, an imperial guard strode in, knelt down and bowed, saying, "This servant greets Your Majesty."
Yongzheng raised his head, waved his hand to signal the imperial guard to stand up, and asked in a deep voice, "How is Hongxi doing?"
The imperial guard solemnly reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Li is probably in grave danger."
Upon hearing this, Yongzheng stood up abruptly, put down his pen, and strode outside.
