The seventh prince, Hongzhao, looked up and asked curiously, "Mother, what is this you drew?"
Ituma Shushu said softly with a helpless expression, "Hongzhao, Mother drew a horse."
"Mother, what is a horse?" Seventh Prince Hongzhao asked curiously.
Ituma Shushu gently stroked the head of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and said softly, "If we go out, we will need to ride horses or carriages, and horses are indispensable mounts in war."
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao stared wide-eyed, seemingly understanding but not quite. Ituma Shushu patted his head again and whispered, "Hongzhao will gradually understand in the future."
The seventh prince, Hongzhao, darted around with his eyes wide open, then suddenly pointed at Ituma Shushu's painting and asked, "Mother, doesn't your painting look like a horse at all?"
"Oh dear, Hongzhao, you've gone astray! You know perfectly well that your father said your mother's drawing is a mess. You know that, don't you? You know your mother's drawing isn't good." Ituma Shushu couldn't help but pinch the cheek of the Seventh Prince, Hongzhao.
"Mother, Hongzhao knows he was wrong. Father Emperor said that as long as Mother is willing to work hard, she will still make progress." The Seventh Prince Hongzhao couldn't help but beg for forgiveness.
Ituma Shushu raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmph, Mother knew you remembered what your Emperor Father said that day."
Then, she took the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's hand and walked outside, saying, "Hongzhao, it's time for us to have lunch."
Indeed, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Ituma Shushu has been practicing painting with a brush for half a year. It can only be said that neither the original owner nor she has any talent for painting.
In the words of Emperor Yongzheng, she was like rotten wood that could not be carved. However, Emperor Yongzheng did not discourage her too much and specially added that as long as Consort Shu was willing to continue to work hard, she would still make progress.
However, Ituma Shushu has really taken a liking to painting with a brush, something she had never tried before. After trying it out for a while, she found that she does have a little bit of interest in it.
When she was little, she used pencils or watercolors to draw.
Later, when she grew up, she only heard that there were different kinds of painting, such as sketching, oil painting, watercolor painting, portrait painting, and animal painting, but she never studied any of them.
Ituma Shushu has now decided that she will continue to paint.
After all, Emperor Yongzheng's words, "A mother can't be without something presentable," still had some effect on her.
Since she has a reason to learn, and even enjoys it a bit, and most importantly, she still has plenty of time, she should continue practicing.
Cough cough, just imagine this will be one of her impressive skills that she can show off in the future.
After lunch, Ituma Shushu went back to her bed for a short rest.
As she lay on her bed, she couldn't help but think that people in ancient times seemed to enjoy painting and writing poems.
Then she couldn't help but feel ashamed. Emperor Yongzheng was also quite proficient in the arts that Han Chinese scholars loved, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting!
No wonder she still offered a word of encouragement to someone as hopeless as herself. Ultimately, she hoped that she, the mother of three princes, would have something that he found pleasing and something worthwhile.
Ituma Shushu...
By the way, there is still a Han Chinese official in the current court who is highly valued by Emperor Yongzheng, named Zhang Tingyu. This is very rare in the Qing Dynasty, and it also shows that Emperor Yongzheng really valued Han studies.
Oh, if I remember correctly, Zhang Tingyu was the only Han Chinese in the Qing Dynasty before I transmigrated who was entitled to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
It should be noted that there were a total of 26 princes and ministers in the Qing Dynasty who were honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Of them, 23 were Manchus, 2 were Mongol nobles, and Zhang Tingyu was the only Han Chinese to be honored.
...
Ituma Shushu put aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind and prepared to administer the "Return to the Past Spray" to the Queen.
She opened the "Dawn Mall," clicked the "Prepare" button on the "Drug-Spraying Angel" with her mind, then placed the Empress's image into a transparent circle, followed by the "Return to the Past Spray" potion into another transparent circle, and finally clicked the "Start" button on the "Drug-Spraying Angel."
[Ding! Using "The Poisoning Angel" requires consuming Life Points. Please confirm whether to use.]
Ituma Shushu silently replied, "Yes."
[Ding, deducting health points]
The next second, the "drug-spreading angel" in the small cubicle disappeared.
She thought to herself, "I thought this time it would be an extra two thousand or four thousand life points, but who knew it would be an extra eight thousand life points this time."
As expected, "Dawn Mall" is acting erratically.
Just then, the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" refreshed, and she stared at it intently.
All I saw was:
Ituma Shushu
[Vitality Points: -]
Lifespan: 7 years and 2 months
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
The next second, the "drug-laced little angel" flew back. It circled Ituma Shushu twice, paused in front of Ituma Shushu, and then returned to the transparent panel grid space with a flash of golden light.
She stopped thinking about it and continued to use her mind to create a small hand to press the light pink button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel.
Then she focused her gaze and saw that the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 3 years and 4 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
Ituma Shushu sighed and closed the "Dawn Mall".
In the afternoon, Ituma Shushu was enjoying the cool air by herself in the pavilion of Qingyun Yaxuan.
