Ituma Shushu's tense nerves can finally relax.
She thought about how hard she had persevered all this time and realized how difficult it had been!
However, it was worth it, because this gave the three brothers, Hongzhao, Hongxu, and Hongxuan, three more years of peaceful growth.
Thinking of this, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but look at the last "Return to the Past Spray" potion placed in the small cubicle space, and secretly rejoiced.
Then, she used her mind to form a small hand and pressed the light blue button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel.
Ituma Shushu
[Vitality Points: -]
Lifespan: 6 years and 9 months
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
In the days to come, I'll just check in at Qingyun Yaxuan to collect life points.
Immediately afterwards, Ituma Shushu closed "Dawn Mall" and then closed her eyes; this time she was truly resting.
The next day, as usual, Ituma Shushu took the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan to see their three foals.
Looking at the bouncy little eight and little nine, she thought to herself: Luckily, these three foals were sent two months ago, otherwise Qingyun Yaxuan would not have been able to keep these two little rascals in check.
"Xiaoxue, Hongxu is here!" Eighth Prince Hongxu shouted.
Ninth Prince Hongxuan, not to be outdone, shouted, "Big Snow, Hongxuan is here!"
"Alright, Hongxu and Hongxuan, once you're inside, don't cause any trouble, understand?" Ituma Shushu shouted.
"Understood, Mother."
"Understood, Mother."
Ituma Shushu squatted down, pinched Hongxu and Hongxuan's cheeks, and said, "You two always know how to loudly respond to your mother, but you never actually do it."
She then instructed, "Xia Ju and Chu Yin keep an eye on the Eighth Prince, and Dong Mei and Chu Ling keep an eye on the Ninth Prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xia Ju bowed and replied.
She waved her hand, signaling them to take the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan inside.
Then, Ituma Shushu couldn't help but smile and say, "Hongzhao, why didn't I hear you call for the Beginning of Winter?"
That's right, the three foals are named Lidong, Xiaoxue, and Daxue respectively. These three names were given by Ituma Shushu because she thought they were simple and easy to remember.
“Mother, Hongzhao isn’t like Little Eight or Little Nine,” Seventh Ahong said, his eyes wide.
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but squat down and pat the head of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, saying softly, "Hongzhao, you're not much older than the Eighth and Ninth Princes. In your mother's eyes, all three of you are the same age."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, was unwilling and said in a serious tone, "Mother, Father said that Hongzhao can go to the Imperial Study to study in a year. Hongzhao is older than the Eighth and Ninth Princes."
Ituma Shushu thought to herself: "As expected, it's your Emperor again. Emperor Yongzheng really can't wait to send you to the Imperial Study. But it's good that you're going to the Imperial Study sooner."
She asked softly, "Then Hongzhao, wouldn't you have gone to the Imperial Study before you were even six years old?"
The seventh prince, Hongzhao, nodded and said, "Mother, Father Emperor said that Hongzhao should go to the Imperial Study to study as soon as possible."
Ituma Shushu asked worriedly, "Hongzhao, you won't move to the Prince's Residence so soon, will you? Your imperial brother hasn't even told Mother yet?"
She thought to herself: Why hasn't Emperor Yongzheng told me about such a big matter yet?
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao was a little embarrassed. He looked at Ituma Shushu and said, "Mother, it was Hongzhao who first told Father Emperor that he wanted to go to the Imperial Study earlier."
Ituma Shushu thought to herself, "So it was you, Hongzhao, who spoke first!"
However, she still held the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's hand and said softly, "Your mother knows that your father also wants you to go to the Imperial Study as soon as possible, but since your father hasn't told me, he probably will wait until you turn six before letting you move to the Princes' Quarters."
She paused for a moment, then continued softly, "Alright, Hongzhao, let's not talk about going to the Imperial Study for now. Let's go in and see your Lidong first."
“Okay, Mother.” Upon hearing Ituma Shushu mention the Beginning of Winter, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao immediately responded with a happy expression.
The three small stables were usually cleaned by six eunuchs, so they were always spotless and didn't have much of a smell.
Perhaps seeing that the little owners of Xiaoxue and Daxue next door had arrived, while their own little owner had not yet arrived, Lidong was a bit listless and looked rather dispirited.
However, as soon as Lidong saw the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, she called out and ran over with her little hooves sticking out.
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao also ran in. The two eunuchs guarding Lidong immediately stepped forward. One eunuch picked him up, while the other protected him from the side.
The same was true for the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan. In addition to the servants who were usually by their side, the four eunuchs who guarded Xiaoxue and Daxue also went in to serve them.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao reached out his little hand and gently touched Lidong, and Lidong also lowered his head and rubbed against his shoulder.
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, laughed happily.
Ituma Shushu also went over and touched Lidong. She always came to see Lidong with the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, so Lidong was no stranger to her.
"Hongzhao, your mother is going to see Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu," Ituma Shushu said softly.
“Hongzhao understands, Mother.” The Seventh Prince Hongzhao turned around and replied.
Ituma Shushu laughed and shook her head, saying that she was an adult, but that's just childlike nature.
"Mother, Mother, Xiaoxue is very good."
As soon as Ituma Shushu entered, the Eighth Prince Hongxu grabbed Xiaoxue and shouted triumphantly at her.
Ituma Shushu was speechless. She stepped forward and pried open the Eighth Prince Hongxu's hand, then lied through her teeth, saying, "Xiaoxue is only two months old, even younger than you. Hongxu, you are not allowed to bully her."
Horses can actually walk within an hour of birth, while human babies may take more than a year to learn to walk.
Human babies may not be able to eat solid food until around six months of age, while foals will begin to imitate their mothers by eating raw grass within weeks or even days of birth.
In general, horses grow much faster than humans in all aspects.
Generally speaking, a one-year-old horse is equivalent to a six or seven-year-old human child, a three-year-old horse is equivalent to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old human, a five-year-old horse is equivalent to a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old human, and a thirteen-year-old horse is equivalent to middle age in humans.
"Mother, Hongxu is playing with Xiaoxue," the Eighth Prince Hongxu quickly said.
“Yes, yes, Mother knows Hongxu wants to play with Xiaoxue, but please don’t pull Xiaoxue anymore, okay? You can touch Xiaoxue instead,” Ituma Shushu continued.
