After glancing at the information on the panel a few times, Ituma Shushu thought with some uncertainty.
Next, she stared at the panel and began counting the arrows with complete concentration.
One, two, three, four, five... forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six.
...
One, two, three, four, five... forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight.
This time, there are forty-eight arrows of dragon energy!
Ituma Shushu was overjoyed!
This would make the future of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao even more promising.
I wonder what decision Emperor Yongzheng made this time?
Last time, she conferred upon herself the title of Consort Shu.
This time it's...?
...
For the next few days, both the imperial court and the harem remained peaceful.
Meanwhile, the three brothers, Prince Hongzhao (Seventh Prince), Prince Hongxu (Eighth Prince), and Prince Hongxuan (Guojun Prince), remained extremely busy.
That morning, Ituma Shushu and other concubines in the harem were paying their respects to the Empress under the clear moonlight.
Suddenly, the Empress's chief eunuch, Eunuch Fu, rushed in.
Immediately afterwards, he reported, "Your Majesty, news has come from the previous court that the Fourteenth Prince has passed away."
Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression changed, and her brows furrowed.
After a long pause, she said in a deep voice, "I understand. You may leave now."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, the other concubines looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing Eunuch Fu's report.
A moment later, the Empress's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Now you may all leave."
Everyone immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty the Empress."
...
After returning to Chunqi Xiuse, Ituma Shushu fell into deep thought.
I wonder if the changes in the dragon aura of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao a few days ago are related to the passing of the Fourteenth Prince Yunti?
Although the Fourteenth Prince, Yunti, has been confined to the Shouhuang Hall in Jingshan for so many years, if he has any health problems...
Those guarding him would certainly not dare to neglect him and would definitely report to Emperor Yongzheng as soon as possible.
After all, no matter what, the Fourteenth Prince, Yunti, was Emperor Yongzheng's only full brother from the same mother!
So Emperor Yongzheng must have known a few days ago that the Fourteenth Prince, Yunti, was nearing his end.
Well, it's even possible that Emperor Yongzheng personally visited Prince Yinzhen!
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but sigh as she thought about this.
Alas, the rights and wrongs, the grudges and grievances between Emperor Yongzheng and the Fourteenth Prince Yunti, these two brothers born of the same mother.
Today can be considered the end of an era.
Yes, the eldest prince Yinzhi, the second prince Yinreng, the third prince Yinzhi, the eighth prince Yinsi, the ninth prince Yintang, the tenth prince Yinxi, the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, and the fourteenth prince Yinti.
All eight of these princes who participated in the struggle for the throne have now passed away.
Ah, only Emperor Yongzheng himself probably knows what he's feeling right now.
After all, those who personally experienced that incident back then have all passed away.
Why! !
...
Pure, unique, and beautiful.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
That day, Ituma Shushu had just returned from paying her respects to the Empress.
She was followed by three daughters-in-law.
The seventh prince's wife was from the Niohuru clan, the eighth prince's wife was from the Balin clan, and the prince's wife was from the Hesheli clan.
"Mother, Seventh Prince has been even busier these past three months than before."
The Seventh Prince's Consort, Niohuru, spoke with a worried expression.
The Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, also chimed in, "Yes, Mother, the Eighth Prince has been even busier lately."
Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Hesheli of Prince Guo frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, Mother, Prince Guo is the same."
After listening to their words, Ituma Shushu said softly, "Yes, the Emperor also wants to train his brothers."
They're all still young, so it's okay if they're a little busy.
Hearing that Consort Shu had said this, the three wives could only nod to indicate that they understood.
Then, the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, stroked her belly and whispered, "Mother, I felt a little unwell yesterday, so I asked the imperial physician to check my pulse."
I had initially thought I might have good news, but unfortunately the imperial physician said I just had a slight chill.
When Consort Hesheli, wife of Prince Guo, heard this, her eyes lit up and she whispered, "Mother, I also asked the imperial physician to check Ping An's pulse a couple of days ago."
The imperial physician said my health was fine, but everything was up to fate.
Don't find it strange, because Prince Guo Hongxuan and his wife privately call Ituma Shushu Mother.
Ituma Shushu: "..."
You don't need to test them anymore!
Apart from Prince Hongzhao, I will keep a close watch on his backyard for special reasons.
I really won't be keeping an eye on the Eighth Prince Hongxu and Prince Guo Hongxuan's backyard.
However, Ituma Shushu would certainly not say that.
She smiled and said, "Ballin and Hesheli, you two are too anxious."
You two have only been married for a short time!
Well, it's only been ten months, there are still two months left to make it a year.
When it comes to children, just let nature take its course.
Moreover, Hongxu went to serve in the imperial court just two months after his wedding.
They've both been incredibly busy until now.
The Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, and the Prince Guo's wife, Lady Hesheli, exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with joy.
Seventh Sister-in-law was right; the Imperial Concubine indeed did not mention bestowing anyone upon her.
Then, the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Balin, said with an embarrassed expression, "Mother is right, it is indeed because I was too anxious."
Princess Consort Hesheli of Prince Guo frowned and whispered, "Mother is right."
"It's just that Prince Guo's wife has been keeping a close eye on her daughter-in-law lately."
Yes, Prince Guo Hongxuan and his wife Hesheli both privately referred to Prince Guo's wife in this way.
Ituma Shushu: "..."
Oh, so the wife of Prince Guo, Lady Hesheli, has come to file a complaint!
However, since their marriage, Guo Junwan Hongxuan and Hesheli have gotten along quite well.
Moreover, if I remember correctly, that brat Hongxuan had said that to me last time.
He wanted his own mother, Consort Shu, to protect his wife.
Ahem, now that I am Consort Shu...
Although Prince Guo, Hongxuan, has been adopted out, it is only in name.
He was always the emperor's brother, and also her own brother, Consort Shu.
Cough cough cough, anyway, Ituma Shushu knows that Emperor Yongzheng thought the same way.
Yes, I can still protect my own daughter-in-law.
So, Ituma Shushu's brow twitched slightly, and she said softly, "Then, Hesheli, please pass on a message to Prince Guo's wife for me, saying that the matter of the child cannot be rushed, and everything should be left to fate."
Furthermore, it would be better if Prince Guo's residence had a legitimate son or daughter first.
