Ituma Shushu looked at the information on the panel and nodded in satisfaction.
Don't underestimate this one arrow; little by little, it adds up, and after a few times, it will be very effective.
Although he did not know the reason for the increase in the dragon aura of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao this time.
But that's not important. The most important thing is that the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's dragon aura has increased!!
She actually hopes that this situation will happen more often.
...
Before we knew it, more than a month had passed.
That day, Ituma Shushu was resting with her eyes closed on the couch.
At the same time, she was also thinking about the marriage of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
I wonder which company it will be?
However, it's estimated that Emperor Yongzheng will announce it soon.
Suddenly, Xiao Linzi rushed in.
He didn't even bother with the formalities, panting as he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Consort Qi, Consort Qi has passed away."
Ituma Shushu suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Little Linzi, what did you say?"
You, you, you say it again.
Xiao Linzi quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, news has come from Consort Qi's palace."
"Consort Qi, Consort Qi has passed away. Her Majesty the Empress has already gone there."
Ituma Shushu's mind went completely blank for a moment.
After standing there for a moment, her thoughts gradually returned.
Although he had anticipated Consort Qi's situation.
But I really didn't expect that she would... so quickly...
She composed herself before quickly instructing, "Dongmei, take some people and tidy up Chunqi Xiuse."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Dongmei responded with a solemn expression.
Then, Ituma Shushu called out, "Xiaju, Xiaolinzi, let's go."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Ituma Shushu arrived at the gate of Consort Qi's palace with a group of servants.
They happened to run into Consort Xi and Consort Yu and their entourage.
At this point, no one had time to greet each other; everyone was rushing inside.
After everyone went inside, they heard the heartbreaking cries of the Third Prince Hongshi.
...
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
As time went by, the atmosphere in the Yuanmingyuan Garden was no longer as tense as it had been at the beginning.
However, the death of Consort Qi had a significant impact on the Third Prince Hongshi.
The impact on the younger princes and princesses, including the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Fifth Princess Folana, the Sixth Princess Taifeng, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, the Seventh Princess Alechuka, the Tenth Prince Honghao, and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao, was also considerable.
After all, they are all sensible by now at their age.
They weren't even born when Consort An passed away.
When Consort Yun passed away, she was, after all, only a concubine of the rank of Consort.
She cannot compare to Consort Qi, who has given birth to a prince.
These little princes and princesses all have mothers; if you put yourself in their shoes, you'll understand their feelings.
Pure, unique, and beautiful.
Ituma Shushu gently patted the heads of the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao.
Then, she said softly, "Honghao, Hongyao, your mother knows why you two have been so clingy to your mother these past six months."
Oh, you're all scared by what happened to Consort Qi, aren't you?
However, you should know that Consort Qi is much older than your mother.
Mother is still young, so Mother will definitely be alright.
You two don't need to worry about your mother!
The Tenth Prince, Honghao, raised his head and said, "Mother, but we are still worried about you."
Then, acting like a little adult, he said, "Mother, I saw how sad Third Brother was when he cried."
Sigh, and besides, Seventh Brother mentioned that you were seriously ill a few years ago. How can we not worry about you?
Ituma Shushu: "..."
At this moment, she felt a mix of amusement and heartache.
The eleventh prince, Hongyao, also frowned and said, "That's right, Mother."
Mother, do we two have to move to the Prince's residence tomorrow?
"Could we move later, or perhaps we could ask Father Emperor for help?"
Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu immediately shook her head and said, "Hey, you two, please don't do anything reckless."
Your seventh, eighth, and ninth brothers all moved to the brother's residence when they were seven years old.
Your father has already shown you both extraordinary favor.
He made an exception and allowed you two to move to the prince's quarters only after you turned eight.
The eleventh prince, Hongyao, and the tenth prince, Honghao, exchanged a glance. Then, he said helplessly, "Alright, Mother, I understand."
The Tenth Prince, Honghao, nodded and said, "Mother, since Father has already made an exception for us, we really cannot push our luck any further."
Ituma Shushu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Then, she said softly, "Honghao, Hongyao, although your father dotes on you two very much."
However, you two should also be mindful of your boundaries in the future and not become arrogant because of your favored status.
Especially now that you've all grown up!
You need to be clear about what requests you can and cannot make.
You should know that your Emperor Father is not just your Emperor Father, he is also the ruler of a country.
After hearing Ituma Shushu's words, the Tenth Prince Honghao frowned and said, "Mother, Seventh Brother told us before that we can't push our luck."
Ituma Shushu smiled and said, "Yes, listening to your Seventh Brother is always the right thing to do."
At this moment, the eleventh prince, Hongyao, nodded and then said, "Mother, it turns out that we really do progress very easily without even realizing it?"
The Tenth Prince, Hongyao, scratched his head, stuck out his tongue, and whispered, "When Seventh Brother said it, I thought I was so smart that I definitely wouldn't do it!"
Ituma Shushu said softly, "Sometimes we humans are just too clever for our own good."
Just because you're smart doesn't mean you won't make mistakes.
Then she thought to herself: It seems that the Seventh Prince Hongzhao is also worried that his two younger brothers will easily lose their sense of propriety if they are always pampered.
Sigh, that's just how people are sometimes. I can spoil you, but you can't be ignorant of boundaries.
In any case, the one who will be in the wrong is you, the one who takes advantage of others' favor.
He's the one who spoiled you, and he's not at fault at all.
Especially for a creature like an emperor, it's all your fault; you don't know how to cherish the favor I give you.
However, for princes like the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao...
To put it another way, in their minds...
They were just speaking as usual, unaware that their behavior was somewhat inappropriate.
Just like the eleventh prince Hongyao, he took it for granted that he could ask his father, the emperor, for help.
Perhaps their Emperor will allow the two of them to stay in Chunqi Xiuse a little longer!
He hadn't expected that their Emperor had already made an exception for the two of them; his current behavior was simply pushing his luck.
