Ituma Shushu quickly bowed again respectfully and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
In her mind, she was thinking to herself: "No wonder he's the ancient version of the domineering Emperor Yongzheng..."
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
For these three foals, Ituma Shushu had specially ordered the Imperial Household Department to build three small stables at the very back of Qingyun Yaxuan, as well as three small houses for the servants to rest in.
Today, the Imperial Household Department finally delivered the three foals to the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, who had been eagerly awaiting their arrival.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu was leading a group of people slowly toward the small stables.
Ituma Shushu walked in front, holding the hand of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, while the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan were carried by Chuyin and Chuling respectively, following behind her.
To get from the main hall to the three newly built stables, you need to pass through the complex of buildings where the main hall is located, then through the back garden of Qingyun Yaxuan, and finally through a small bamboo grove.
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, who was holding her hand and whose short legs were almost leaving a blur.
Hahahaha...
The seventh prince, Hongzhao, looked up and asked with a puzzled expression, "Mother, what are you laughing at?"
Of course, she wouldn't tell the Seventh Prince Hongzhao what his mother was laughing about, hahaha...
Ituma Shushu suppressed a laugh and said, "Yesterday, I was reading a funny storybook, and just now I suddenly remembered a passage from it, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing."
The seventh prince, Hongzhao, was not too surprised, since his mother always liked to tease him when he was with her.
I guess my mother just came up with some new way to tease me. Every time I ask her, she won't tell the truth, and her answers are always all over the place.
But gradually, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao got used to it.
Then Ituma Shushu shook the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's little hand and continued, "Hongzhao, the foal has been delivered, so it won't run away. You don't need to be in such a hurry."
"Mother, Hongzhao wants to see the little pony as soon as possible," the Seventh Prince Hongzhao said hurriedly.
"Mother, little pony."
"Mother, little pony."
"Mother, little pony."
"Mother, little pony."
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, who had been following Ituma Shushu and the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, also started to join in the fun.
Ituma Shushu turned around, gently tapped the heads of the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan with her finger, and said softly, "You two little rascals, good, good, little foals."
"Hongzhao, let your mother have someone carry you. That will be faster," she continued softly.
After hearing her words, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao frowned, thought for a moment, and finally replied, "Alright, Mother."
It's worth noting that since he learned to walk, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao has really disliked being carried. It seems he was in a hurry this time and finally gave in.
Then, Ituma Shushu called out, "Little Yezi, come here and hold the Seventh Prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Yezi immediately stepped forward and bowed in response.
When Ituma Shushu, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, and their entourage arrived near the small stables, the officials from the Imperial Household Department were already waiting for them.
"Greetings to Consort Shu."
"Greetings to the Seventh Prince."
"Greetings to the Eighth Prince."
Everyone immediately knelt down and bowed.
Ituma Shushu waved her hand and said gently, "No need for formalities, please get up."
"Thank you, Consort Shu." Everyone bowed quickly.
Ituma Shushu asked the chief eunuch standing at the front, "What is your surname, sir?"
"Your Highness, my surname is Yang," the head eunuch replied hastily, bowing.
Ituma Shushu nodded and gently instructed, "Then I'll trouble Eunuch Yang to take me and the princes in to see the three foals now."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Yang replied hastily, bowing deeply.
When Ituma Shushu saw the first pony, she couldn't help but gently pat its head.
If she's already like this, then Hongzhao, Hongxu, and Hongxuan are even more in a state of distress.
Hongzhao was a little better off.
The two little guys, Hongxu and Hongxuan, were very excited and kept shouting, which even scared the foals a little...
Ituma Shushu looked at the two little ones speechlessly, and then thought to herself: Hmph, just wait and see how I deal with you two little devils later.
So Ituma Shushu instructed Chu Yin, who was holding the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and Chu Ling, who was holding the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, to carry either of them out of the stable whenever they shouted.
Sure enough, after a short while, the two little ones, Hongxu and Hongxuan, were still very excited, but they stopped shouting and yelling all the time.
Finally, Ituma Shushu coaxed the reluctant Hongzhao, Hongxu, and Hongxuan out of the small stable.
At this moment, she turned around and said gently to Eunuch Yang, who had been waiting beside her, "Eunuch Yang, I wonder what arrangements the Imperial Household Department has made regarding the care of these three foals?"
Eunuch Yang quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness Consort Shu, the Imperial Household Department has arranged for six eunuchs to take care of these three foals."
Yang Gonggong thought to himself, "Consort Shu probably doesn't know that the Emperor personally selected these three foals after a long period of deliberation. Moreover, even the eunuchs who take care of the foals were personally chosen by the Emperor at the behest of Eunuch Su Peisheng."
Although his mind wandered for a moment, it did not delay Eunuch Yang's work at all. He pointed to the eunuchs selected by Su Peisheng and said, "You lot, come forward quickly and greet Consort Shu and the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince."
"This servant greets Consort Shu, the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Prince." The six eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed.
Ituma Shushu nodded and gently instructed, "Xiao Linzi, settle these six eunuchs in."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Linzi quickly stepped forward and bowed in response.
After watching Xiao Linzi and the six eunuchs leave, Ituma Shushu gave Luoye a wink.
Luo Ye understood and stuffed several purses into the hands of the remaining eunuchs, including Eunuch Yang.
Several eunuchs quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Consort Shu."
Ituma Shushu said gently, "No need for formalities, thank you gentlemen for your help today."
After seeing off the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department, Ituma Shushu led her entourage back to the main hall.
That evening, Ituma Shushu lay on her bed, staring blankly at the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" for a while.
Finally, she reluctantly closed "Dawn Mall" and prepared to go to sleep.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, the information I had just seen reappeared before me.
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 2 years and 11 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but toss and turn in bed for a while.
She had trouble sleeping that night, and the next day she had two big dark circles under her eyes.
