Just then, the voices of the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan could be heard outside.
"Mother, Hongxu is here."
"Mother, Mother, Hongxuan is here."
Then came the sound of hopping footsteps.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Prince have come to see you," Dongmei said, bowing as she hurried in.
Ituma Shushu put aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, nodded, and said gently, "I understand."
Then, she silently said, "Chenxi Mall" and then "Close".
Ituma Shushu then turned around and instructed, "Xiaju, tidy up the paintings on my desk and put them away properly."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xia Ju quickly bowed and replied.
"Mother, let's go see the heavy snow." Ninth Prince Hongxuan ran in and took Ituma Shushu's hand.
"Mother, Mother, Hongxuan wants to go see Xiaoxue," the Eighth Prince Hongxu called out.
Ituma Shushu held the Ninth Prince Hongxuan's hand and said softly, "Okay, let's go see the heavy snow, light snow, and the beginning of winter now."
Then, she smiled and looked at the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, who was being led by the hand by the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and said, "Hongzhao, why aren't you practicing calligraphy so early today?"
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, looked helplessly at his mother and said, "Mother, you know Hongxu and Hongxuan's personalities."
Ituma Shushu stopped teasing the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and said softly, "You will be studying in the Imperial Study this year. Tomorrow, your mother will have someone prepare a small study for Hongxu and Hongxuan."
The seventh prince, Hongzhao, asked excitedly, "Mother, is what you're saying true?"
“Look how happy you are. Of course what your mother said is true. Oh, I was thinking of having you keep an eye on those two little ones for a while longer. Also, I don’t want you to be practicing calligraphy at such a young age.” Ituma Shushu said with a smile.
"Mother, Seventh Brother, let's go."
The Eighth Prince Hongxu was already impatient and pulled the Seventh Prince Hongzhao by the hand to walk outside.
Ituma Shushu smiled and shook her head, then took the hand of Ninth Prince Hongxuan and followed.
That night, Ituma Shushu lay in bed thinking hard, but in the end she suppressed her impulse to give birth to a girl for Yongzheng.
The next morning, Ituma Shushu instructed Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi to prepare a small study for the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan.
After that, she began to handle some palace affairs of Qingyun Yaxuan.
After finishing her palace duties, Ituma Shushu had only been sitting on the embroidered couch for a short while when Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi quickly walked in.
"Your Majesty, the study rooms of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince have been tidied up," Xiao Linzi and Xiao Anzi bowed and reported.
"Yes, I understand. You may all leave now," Ituma Shushu nodded and gave the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Xiaolinzi and Xiaoanzi left, Ituma Shushu opened the "Dawn Mall".
She now needs to test the malice level of Xiao Shunzi and the other three again.
In fact, Ituma Shushu had been keeping track of which eunuchs to select from Qingyun Yaxuan to serve the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan.
She hadn't misjudged Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Jiangzi; originally, she had planned to choose Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Cuizi as the other two.
Little did she know that Xiao Liaozi and Xiao Shuangzi, whom she had always overlooked, would suddenly appear.
So that time she first arranged for Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Jiangzi, Xiao Liaozi, and Xiao Shuangzi to watch over the rabbits of the princes.
Ituma Shushu felt that the eunuchs of Qingyun Yaxuan must have guessed that she might transfer the four of them to serve the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.
That's probably why Ituma Shushu later discovered that Xiao Liaozi and Xiao Shuangzi were somewhat skilled in martial arts.
Okay, it's probably because they deliberately revealed some of their skills to her so she could continue competing for the job.
Actually, the matter is quite simple. No matter how far the rabbits of the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan run, Xiao Liaozi and Xiao Shuangzi can always catch them back in the first instance.
When Ituma Shushu discovered this, she naturally questioned Xiao Liaozi and Xiao Shuangzi about it seriously.
The two of them also gave Ituma Shushu a flawless and convincing answer.
At that time, she knew that the two of them were very likely people from Emperor Yongzheng's Sticky Rod Office.
Ituma Shushu snapped out of her thoughts, using her mind to create a small hand to open the small compartment containing the malicious sensor, and placed the images of Xiao Liaozi and Xiao Shuangzi into the malicious sensor.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displays:
[Ding! Malice value: -83]
[Ding! 10 Health Points Deducted]
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displays:
[Ding! Malice value: -83]
[Ding! 10 Health Points Deducted]
Ituma Shushu was a little surprised that Xiao Liaozi and the twins' favorability had increased a bit.
Well, it can be really hard to guess the good intentions and bad intentions of the people in the harem sometimes.
She then used her mind to create a small hand to open the small compartment containing the malicious sensor, which had just automatically closed. She then placed the images of Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Jiangzi into the malicious sensor.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displays:
[Ding! Malice value: -82]
[Ding! 10 Health Points Deducted]
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displays:
[Ding! Malice value: -82]
[Ding! 10 Health Points Deducted]
Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Jiangzi's affection level has remained stable.
