"My lord, the matter has been settled. The two midwives have been brought back." A shadow flashed in the room, and the voice came from the corner.
Yongzheng's gaze lingered on the shadowy figure, and he said coldly, "Step down."
After the shadows receded, Yongzheng called out, "Su Peisheng."
Su Peisheng hurriedly ran in, kowtowed, and said, "This servant is here."
Yongzheng instructed Su Peisheng: "Send the two midwives from the side hall, along with the midwives and wet nurses we selected earlier, to Consort Shu in Qingyun Yaxuan."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Peisheng bowed and took his leave, thinking to himself, "Your Majesty found the midwife from the common folk that Physician Sun mentioned the day before yesterday. It seems that Your Majesty attaches great importance to Consort Shu's twins."
When Su Peisheng arrived at Qingyun Yaxuan, Ituma Shushu had just had Chu Yin take her pulse.
Just then, Xiao Dingzi ran in, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Su is waiting outside with the midwife and wet nurse."
Ituma Shushu immediately instructed Xiao Dingzi, "Quickly bring Eunuch Su in."
Then she waved to Chu Yin, signaling Chu Yin to wait aside.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Dingzi bowed.
Soon, Xiao Dingzi brought Su Peisheng in.
Su Peisheng was followed by several midwives and wet nurses.
"Greetings to Consort Shu." Su Peisheng, along with several midwives and wet nurses, knelt and bowed to Ituma Shushu.
“No need for formalities, please rise, Eunuch Su,” Ituma Shushu said hastily.
"Thank you, Consort Shu." Su Peisheng stood up and said, accompanied by several midwives and wet nurses.
Then, Su Peisheng smiled and pointed to two of the midwives, saying, "In order for Consort Shu to have a safe delivery, His Majesty specially found two midwives from the common people who have experience in delivering twins to serve you."
Ituma Shushu was very surprised that Yongzheng would think of finding a midwife with experience in delivering twins from the common people.
Then, she said softly, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Su Peisheng smiled and said, "Now that the midwife, wet nurse, and midwife have all been delivered, this servant will take his leave."
Ituma Shushu hurriedly instructed Xiao Dingzi, who was waiting nearby, "Xiao Dingzi, see Eunuch Su off."
Xiao Dingzi quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Eunuch Su, this way please." Xiao Dingzi led Su Peisheng away.
After Xiao Dingzi and Su Peisheng left, Ituma Shushu turned around and instructed Dongmei, who was waiting to the side, "Dongmei, take the wet nurse away and settle her in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dongmei bowed and then withdrew with the wet nurse.
Ituma Shushu thought for a moment and said to Chu Yin, who was waiting beside her, "Chu Yin, you should get to know these midwives and two midwives first. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask them for advice. I need you to be in the delivery room on the day I give birth."
Chu Yin thought to herself: "Consort Shu wants me to learn more about childbirth, as she will need me to supervise the midwives and midwives during her delivery. I've only just started serving Consort Shu, and she has entrusted me with such an important matter; I must not betray her trust."
Chu Yin dared not be negligent any longer, and with a solemn expression, she replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Ituma Shushu nodded and said, "Then Chu Yin, you and the midwives may leave now."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then Chu Yin, along with several midwives and two midwives, bowed and withdrew.
"Xia Ju and Chu Ling, you two accompany me for a walk," Ituma Shushu said to Xia Ju and Chu Ling.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xia Ju and Chu Ling carefully helped her walk around the palace.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and it was already June of the thirteenth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign.
June is the most vibrant month of the year, and its weather, like the season itself, is full of passion, abundance, and change.
As June begins, the sunlight becomes intense and bright, bathing the earth as if draping everything in a golden coat.
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the road and creating beautiful scenes of light and shadow.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers and the scent of earth—the smell of nature, fresh and pleasant.
However, the weather in June is not always so calm and mild.
In the afternoon, the sky often suddenly turns gloomy, with dark clouds gathering, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
At this moment, the wind began to howl, rustling the leaves and stirring up dust from the ground.
Then, thunder rumbled, lightning flashed across the sky, and torrential rain poured down, pounding against the roof and windows with a crackling sound.
However, after this brief storm, June will reveal its peaceful and beautiful side again.
The rain washed the earth clean, and the air was fresh and pleasant. Rainbows often hung in the sky, colorful and breathtaking.
June at this time seems to have undergone a baptism, becoming even more beautiful and moving.
Ituma Shushu is now resting with her eyes closed on an embroidered couch after a heavy rain in June.
She is now more than six months pregnant with her baby, almost seven months along.
The servants around Shushu began to be cautious. The servants serving Shushu now include Xia Ju, Dong Mei, Chu Yin, Chu Ling, Granny Dong, Granny Quan, Granny Hong, and Granny Hua.
It has been half a year since Ituma Shushu last used the "Return to the Past Spray" on the Queen.
She sighed deeply, thinking to herself, "I should open 'Dawn Mall' now."
