Now, the two little ones, Eighth Prince Hongxu and Ninth Prince Hongxuan, actually think that Ituma Shushu was just playing with them.
So the two little ones each grabbed one of Ituma Shushu's legs and shouted, "Mama, play!" "Mama, play!" "Mama, play!"
Well, Ituma Shushu had no choice but to continue playing with the two little ones.
It wasn't until Xia Ju and Chu Yin returned with the little hats and gloves of the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan that things changed.
After Ituma Shushu put little hats and gloves on the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Although there was no strong wind in the corridor, it would still be better to bring a few screens. So she quickly instructed, "Dongmei and Chuling, you two go find three screens and have a few eunuchs carry them over."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dongmei and Chuling bowed and quickly ran away.
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan looked at each other with curiosity.
Then, the Eighth Prince Hongxu reached for the Ninth Prince Hongxuan's hat with his gloved hand, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan also reached for the Eighth Prince Hongxu's hat with his gloved hand.
In the end, the two little ones hugged each other and even tugged at each other's hats.
Ituma Shushu was speechless for a moment, then quickly bent down and separated the two little ones.
"Mother." "Mother." "Mother."
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan called out "Ituma Shushu" and hugged each other again, continuing to tug at each other's hats.
Ituma Shushu looked helpless and had no choice but to help the two little ones take off each other's hats.
Then she said with a serious expression, "You can't take off your hats anymore. Mother will put your hats back on for you now."
Knowing that they had taken the hats from each other, the two little ones obediently let their mother put the hats on them and then stopped trying to pull on each other's hats.
Ituma Shushu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly instructed Xia Ju and Chu Yin, who were waiting nearby, in a gentle voice: "Xia Ju, hold the Eighth Prince well, and Chu Yin, hold the Ninth Prince well."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xia Ju and Chu Yin replied and quickly picked up the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.
Afterwards, Ituma Shushu, accompanied by the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, walked out of the main hall surrounded by a group of servants.
When she got to the other side of the corridor, Xiaolinzi and Dongmei had already brought her everything she wanted.
Ituma Shushu nodded in satisfaction and gently instructed, "Xiao Linzi, Xiao Anzi, arrange these three screens around the two baby chairs."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi quickly bowed and replied.
After watching Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi set up the three screens, Ituma Shushu prepared to put the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan into the baby chairs.
Just then, she heard the voices of the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan calling out, "Father!" "Seventh Brother!" "Father!" "Seventh Brother!"
It turned out that Emperor Yongzheng and his seventh son, Hongzhao, were walking this way.
"Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the Seventh Prince," the servants hurriedly bowed.
Emperor Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Get up."
Ituma Shushu gestured to Xia Ju and Chu Yin to put down the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan.
As soon as the two little ones put their feet on the ground, they took a few steps forward with their short legs, and then skillfully each pounced on one of Yongzheng's legs.
The two little ones kept calling out, "Father." "Father." "Father." "Father."
Ituma Shushu quickly stepped forward and whispered to Yongzheng, "Your Majesty, I thought that since you're coming to keep us company today, I've brought Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu along as well."
After looking at the arrangement before him, Yongzheng understood Ituma Shushu's plan. He nodded and said, "I understand your love for your son. Besides, Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu both love to watch the excitement, so there's no need to restrain them too much. They should be taken out more often to see the world."
"Seventh Brother." "Seventh Brother." "Seventh Brother." "Seventh Brother."...
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan also saw the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, and immediately started shouting at him as if they were competing with each other.
However, even though the two little ones were shouting for their seventh brother, they didn't let go of their emperor father.
Ituma Shushu probably knew that the two of them were also aware that Seventh Brother was usually easy to see, while the Emperor was not so easy to see.
She secretly gave the two little ones a thumbs up in her heart. That's right, that's how it should be. When your Emperor comes, don't bother your Mother and Seventh Brother, go and bother your Emperor.
However, Yongzheng did not forget that he also had to teach the seventh prince, Hongzhao, how to build a snowman.
After playing with the two little ones for a while, Yongzheng put the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan into their baby chairs.
Ituma Shushu quickly stepped forward, moved the wooden board in front of the baby chair to the right position, and then carefully secured it.
Next, Yongzheng and his seventh son, Hongzhao, strode back to that corner and continued building the snowman.
Meanwhile, the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, who were in the corridor, could also see the Yongzheng Emperor and the Seventh Prince Hongzhao not far away.
So the two little ones started competing again, "Father." "Father." "Seventh Brother." "Seventh Brother."
Ituma Shushu watched as the two little princes, the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, went from shouting and yelling at the beginning to waving their arms and shouting even more at the end.
She felt a pang of shame. Okay, let me give myself a thumbs up first. As long as you don't cry or make a fuss, you can do whatever you want.
Then, she got up and moved to the two baby chairs, sitting down on her own special stool.
After a moment, Ituma Shushu's brows twitched slightly, and then she softly instructed, "Luoye, make me a cup of hot tea."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Ye bowed and went to the simple tea room that had been prepared to brew tea.
Ituma Shushu gently lifted her teacup, took a small sip, and savored the tea's fragrance and sweetness. It was as if, at that moment, all her troubles had been washed away by the tea.
She continued to sip her tea, enjoying the leisurely winter time.
Suddenly, cheers came from ahead from the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, followed by his loud shout of "Ituma Shushu".
"Mother, Mother, come quickly and see."
"Mother, Mother."
"Mother, Mother, come here quickly."
Ituma Shushu reluctantly put down her teacup, thinking to herself: Here it comes, here it comes. Hearing Hongzhao's cheers, she knew that Emperor Yongzheng must have specially built a snowman for Hongzhao.
Then she called out, "Hongzhao, Mother heard you, Mother is coming right now."
Ituma Shushu stood up and was about to move when she saw the two little ones still struggling and couldn't help but instruct them, "Xiaju, Dongmei, Chuyin, and Chuling, you all need to keep a close eye on the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xia Ju, Dong Mei, Chu Yin, and Chu Ling replied with a bow.
