Ituma Shushu thought of the two nannies Su Peisheng had brought today, Nanny Dong and Nanny Quan.
She thought to herself that she should take advantage of the free time now to test their malice level.
She first used her mind to open the small compartment with the malicious sensor, and then put the image of Granny Dong into the malicious sensor.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Ding! Malice value: -13]
[Ding! 5 Health Points Deducted]
Ituma Shushu then put the image of Granny Quan into the malicious sensor.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Ding! Malice value: -15]
[Deducted Vitality Points: 5]
This time, Granny Dong and Granny Quan were more well-liked than Granny Gu and Granny Rong, who were sent to serve her when she was pregnant with the seventh prince, Hongzhao.
It seems they were all people of Yongzheng, perhaps because Ituma Shushu was a concubine before.
Now, Ituma Shushu is not only Consort Shu, but also has the birth of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, so her favorability is higher than that of the previous Gu Mama and Rong Mama who were sent.
She pondered for a moment, then closed "Dawn Mall".
The next day, Ituma Shushu summoned Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Cuizi.
"This servant greets Consort Shu," said Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Cuizi, kneeling and bowing.
Ituma Shushu instructed Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Cuizi, saying, "I am currently pregnant with the imperial heir, and the Seventh Prince is still young. Everyone in Qingyun Yaxuan must be extremely careful now."
You two, from this moment forward, close the main gate of Qingyun Yaxuan, and then, together with Xiao Liaozi and Xiao Shuangzi, guard the side gate. If the Empress or the Emperor sends anyone, bring them in and then report to me.
"And from now on, apart from the imperial physicians who will check on my and the Seventh Prince's pulse, all other unauthorized personnel should be dismissed on the grounds that my pregnancy makes things inconvenient."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we servants will certainly keep a close eye on Qingyun Yaxuan," Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Cuizi replied in deep voices.
After Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Cuizi left.
After considering it for a moment, Ituma Shushu said to Dongmei, who was waiting to the side, "Dongmei, go and invite Granny Dong and Granny Quan, who were brought over by Eunuch Su yesterday, to come over."
Dongmei knew that Consort Shu must have something to instruct the two matrons, so she quickly glanced at Xiaju before saying, "Yes, Your Highness, this servant will go and invite them right away."
Ituma Shushu nodded. "Yes, Dongmei, go and invite her now. Xiaju is here with me."
Before long, Dongmei came in with Granny Dong and Granny Quan.
"Greetings to Consort Shu," said Granny Dong and Granny Quan, bowing.
Ituma Shushu said gently, "Please rise, both of you ladies."
"Thank you, Your Highness," said Granny Dong and Granny Quan as they stood up.
Ituma Shushu took a sip of tea and said to Granny Dong and Granny Quan, "I'm sorry to trouble you two in the days to come. You two know that the maids around me are all quite young, so I would like to have you two help me out. Don't worry, I won't treat you two badly."
As she finished speaking, she instructed Dongmei, who was waiting to the side, "Dongmei, take 20 taels of silver from the storeroom and give it to the two old women."
"Yes, Your Highness." Dongmei responded and went to the storeroom to fetch the silver.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Granny Dong and Granny Quan bowed and smiled after receiving the reward.
Ituma Shushu then instructed Xia Ju, who was waiting on the other side, "Xia Ju, call Luo Ye and Zhi Qiu in."
"Yes, Your Highness. This servant will go right away," Xia Ju replied.
As soon as Luoye and Zhiqiu entered, they knelt down and bowed to Shushu, saying, "Greetings to Your Majesty."
Ituma Shushu waved her hand, "Get up, everyone."
Fallen Leaves and Autumn Knowledge quickly stood up and bowed to the side.
She instructed Luoye and Zhiqiu, "From today onwards, you two will assist Granny Dong and Granny Quan. You must be attentive and not be careless."
Both Luoye and Zhiqiu knew this was a rare opportunity, and they quickly and excitedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, we will definitely learn diligently."
Ituma Shushu nodded and waved her hand, saying, "Then you may leave with Granny Dong and Granny Quan."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Dong Mama, Quan Mama, Luoye, and Zhiqiu replied in unison.
After Granny Dong, Granny Quan, Luoye, and Zhi Qiu withdrew, Xia Ju massaged Ituma Shushu's shoulders while comforting her, "Your Highness, Luoye and Zhi Qiu are both clever people, they will definitely learn something."
Dongmei added, "Yes, Your Majesty, those two will certainly not have been in vain for your efforts."
Ituma Shushu pressed her temples. "These palace maids were all carefully selected by Eunuch Su after I became pregnant. I am not worried that they will not learn anything."
She then added, "As for Xiaju and Dongmei, you two will be of age to leave the palace in a couple of years, right? What are your plans?"
Xia Ju said, "Your Majesty, I had thought about this before. At my age, I can't find a good family to marry into if I leave the palace. It would be better for me to stay by Your Majesty's side and continue to serve you."
Dongmei also spoke up, "This servant has discussed this matter with Xiaju before. This servant and Xiaju have the same idea. Since it's impossible to find a good family to marry into if we leave the palace at this age, it's better to stay by Your Majesty's side and continue to serve you."
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Indeed, if you leave the palace to marry, I won't be able to help you. You have two years to consider. If you don't plan to leave the palace to marry by then, I will ask the Emperor to grant you the grace to continue serving me."
