The two palace maids I released from the palace before, weren't they Chunhua and Qiuyue?
But were those two the most beautiful among the palace maids serving him?
Honestly, I hadn't noticed this before.
Then, Ituma Shushu snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Xiaolinzi.
He kept his head down, holding his breath and concentrating.
Uh, okay.
Xiao Linzi was probably afraid that her bad mood would affect him.
Ituma Shushu felt a little ashamed when she thought about this.
So she said softly, "I understand. You may leave now."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Linzi immediately bowed and replied.
He visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Xiao Linzi quietly retreated.
At this moment, Xia Ju whispered, "Your Majesty, what kind of rumors are these!"
Dongmei frowned and said, "Your Majesty, those people have gone too far."
Chu Yin and Chu Ling nodded heavily as well.
Ituma Shushu waved her hand dismissively and said, "Let them spread the word."
Anyway, ever since I gave birth to five princes, they have been jealous of me.
Now, my seventh prince has grown into a young man.
It's time for him to get married and have children.
They do not spread rumors about the Empress.
I was worried they'd get too cooped up!
Pfft!
Pfft!
After hearing what Ituma Shushu said, Xia Ju, Dong Mei, Chu Yin, and Chu Ling couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Then, Ituma Shushu herself couldn't help but laugh.
Hahahaha...
After a while, Ituma Shushu smiled and said, "Are Chunhua and Qiuyue the most beautiful among you?"
I don't think so.
I think you're all good-looking; you all have your own unique charm!
Xia Ju smiled and said, "Your Majesty, those people are just spreading rumors."
The servants were all of average appearance, except for their regular features.
I don't know where they got the idea that spring flowers and the autumn moon are the most beautiful!
Chu Yin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, most of the palace maids are just ordinary people."
Chu Ling chimed in, "Your Majesty, there are definitely beauties among the palace maids."
However, the servants who attend to the lady are all of average appearance.
Dongmei smiled and said, "That's right, Your Majesty!"
Just as Your Majesty said.
Each of these lackeys has their own unique characteristics.
Dongmei paused for a moment after saying this.
Then, she continued with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are right, they are really bored."
The servants estimate that they have no recollection of Chunhua or Qiuyue.
However, only these two palace maids were allowed to leave the palace to serve the Empress.
They can't go wrong by spreading rumors as much as they want.
Anyway, Chunhua and Qiuyue are both pigs.
They would also call them the two prettiest pigs.
Hahahaha...
Ituma Shushu, Xia Ju, Chu Yin, and Chu Ling all laughed so hard they were bent over.
After a moment, Ituma Shushu smiled and said, "Dongmei."
When my mother enters the palace...
I will have her deliver a message to Chunhua and Qiuyue.
Dongmei said that the two of them were the most beautiful pigs.
Hahahaha...
Dongmei: "..."
Your Majesty, please spare this servant!
...
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.
On this day, Ituma Shushu was taking a walk in the beautiful and picturesque garden.
Suddenly, Xiao Anzi quickly walked up to Ituma Shushu and bowed.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Ituma Shushu waved her hand and said softly, "Get up."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Xiao Anzi stood up, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has decreed that the Fifth Princess be granted the title of Princess Heshuo Anke."
She married the heir apparent of the Zasatu Khanate of the Khalkha Mongols.
Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu frowned and thought to herself: The Seventh Prince Hongzhao is not even married yet.
Princess Franá, my younger sister, probably won't get married so soon.
So she asked softly, "When will the Fifth Princess marry?"
Xiao Anzi quickly replied, "Your Majesty, they said it would be three years from now."
Ituma Shushu nodded upon hearing this, thinking to herself: Three years is probably better.
Then, she said softly, "Xiao Anzi, I understand. You may leave now."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
...
In the afternoon, after the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and his five brothers returned from the Imperial Study, they also talked about the marriage of the Fifth Princess, Flora.
"Mother, the imperial decree for the marriage of the Fifth Princess has been issued."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, frowned and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu sighed and said softly, "Mother knows too."
By the way, do you know this prince of the Zasatu Khanate of the Khalkha Mongols?
He must have been there when we went to Mulan Hunting Grounds last time, right?
Eighth Prince Hongxu nodded and said, "Mother, we actually know this Prince's heir."
He also went to Mulan Qiuyan, and he came in second place in our archery competition that time.
"Yes, he should be around the same age as Seventh Brother."
Ninth Prince Hongxuan nodded seriously and said, "Mother, his horsemanship and archery skills are very impressive."
So I remember him; he seemed like a very generous and forthright person.
After hearing what the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan said, Ituma Shushu breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought to herself: He is about the same age as Seventh Brother Hongzhao, has excellent riding and archery skills, and has a forthright personality.
