The next day, Emperor Yongzheng came to Qingyun Yaxuan for dinner.
After dinner, Emperor Yongzheng was in a rare moment of leisure.
He asked, "Consort Shu, I heard that you've been practicing calligraphy in addition to painting lately?"
"Your Majesty, I know I don't have anything to offer, especially after learning to paint last time, which made me realize this even more. I've also been thinking about practicing calligraphy, so now whenever I practice painting, I also practice calligraphy for a while."
Ituma Shushu replied calmly and without batting an eye.
Emperor Yongzheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's rare that you have this kind of thought."
Then he turned his head and said, "Hongzhao, Hongxu, Hongxuan, Father will now teach you to practice calligraphy for a while."
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao said happily, "Okay, Father Emperor, let's go now."
The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan also looked at Ituma Shushu with happy expressions and called out, "Mother, Mother, practice your calligraphy."
“Okay, okay, let’s go practice calligraphy,” Ituma Shushu said softly.
At the same time, she thought to herself: I've really gone to great lengths to make you two enjoy practicing calligraphy.
"Father, practice your calligraphy."
"Father, practice your calligraphy."
Next, the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan skipped forward and grabbed Yongzheng's clothes, saying...
Emperor Yongzheng knew his two sons' personalities very well, so he didn't believe they enjoyed practicing calligraphy.
However, Hongxu and Hongxuan are now just as happy as Hongzhao when they hear about practicing calligraphy?
He then looked at Ituma Shushu with a puzzled expression.
Ituma Shushu said softly with a worried expression, "Your Majesty, since Hongzhao will be studying in the Imperial Study next month, I thought that Hongxu and Hongxuan will also be studying in the Imperial Study in a few years."
However, I am truly worried about their temperaments, fearing they might not be able to sit still, so lately I have been keeping them company in the study as they write and draw.
Yongzheng understood. Consort Shu was just accompanying the two of them to the study to play. No wonder Hongxu and Hongxuan were happy to hear about practicing calligraphy!
Next, Yongzheng led Ituma Shushu and her three children into the study.
Emperor Yongzheng first gave guidance to the seventh prince, Hongzhao, on practicing calligraphy, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
However, when Yongzheng saw Hongxu and Hongxuan playing happily in the study, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It seems my previous worries were unfounded. Hongxu and Hongxuan will definitely not be like Consort Shu's twin brothers in the future.
However, when Emperor Yongzheng thought back to his own childhood, he realized that his sons Hongshi, Hongli, Hongzhou, and Hongzhao were all around the same age and were certainly not as active as Hongxu and Hongxuan.
However, it's really not fair to blame Consort Shu for not knowing how to teach them, after all, she watched these two young princes grow up.
Thinking back to their first birthday celebration, it was the result of my own hard work guiding them.
Therefore, Consort Shu's concerns were justified; the two of them were too restless and might not be able to sit still when the time came.
I had always thought that Hongzhao was exceptionally intelligent, so I wanted him to go to the Imperial Study to study as soon as possible.
We overlooked the personalities of Hongxu and Hongxuan. It seems they should go to the Imperial Study sooner rather than later.
Hmm, they're so active, they must be interested in mounted archery.
Yongzheng had already made up his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.
Ituma Shushu had no idea that the wise Emperor Yongzheng had already made the decision so quickly to send Hongxu and Hongxuan to study in the Imperial Study.
If she knew, she would jump for joy, since she also wanted to send these two naughty mythical beasts to the Imperial Study as soon as possible.
After practicing calligraphy, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan all went back to rest, attended by their servants.
Not long after they returned, Emperor Yongzheng and Ituma Shushu also went to rest.
The next day, after seeing Emperor Yongzheng off, Ituma Shushu fell into deep thought.
Starting next month, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao will be studying in the Imperial Study. In addition to Xiao Yezi and Xiao Zhuozi, two more eunuchs will be needed to attend to him.
With that thought in mind, Ituma Shushu made a decision. She silently said, "Dawn Mall, open."
After opening "Chenxi Mall".
Ituma Shushu used her mind to create a small hand and open the small compartment containing the malice sensor. She first placed Xiao Dingzi's image into the malice sensor.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Ding! Malice value: -82]
[Ding! 10 Health Points Deducted]
Then she put Xiao Cuizi's image into the malicious sensor.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Ding! Malice value: -82]
[Ding! 10 Health Points Deducted]
Ituma Shushu nodded in satisfaction and closed the "Dawn Mall".
After lunch, Ituma Shushu stroked the head of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and said softly, "Hongzhao, you will be studying in the Imperial Study next month. Your mother will have Xiao Dingzi and Xiao Cuizi serve you again."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, knew that his mother was worried about him, so he said, "Yes, Mother."
Ituma Shushu sighed, “In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown up. Now you’re studying in the Imperial Study, and in another year you’ll be living in the Prince’s quarters.”
“Mother, even if I go to live with my brother, I will come back to see you often.”
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, couldn't help but speak.
Ituma Shushu said softly, "Yes, Mother knows. Hongzhao will come back to see Mother often. Mother can also go to the Prince's residence to see you. Mother just can't bear to part with you."
Then, she continued softly, "Hongzhao, tomorrow your mother will take you to stroll around the Yuanmingyuan Garden."
You were all too young before, whether it was you, Hongxu, or Hongxuan.
Your mother only took the three of you for a stroll around Qingyun Yaxuan. I have never taken you to places further away.
But now that you're going to study at the Imperial Study, let's explore the route from Qingyun Yaxuan to the Imperial Study, as well as all the places we can reach in the Yuanmingyuan Garden.
Hongzhao, if you want to grow up, you need to learn how to find your way. Let's start with that!
When he heard his mother say that they were going to visit other places, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao became happy. After all, he was very curious about many places. He smiled and said, "Okay, Mother, let's go early tomorrow."
Seeing how happy the Seventh Prince Hongzhao was, Ituma Shushu also smiled. She picked up the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and said, "Okay, okay, go early. Your mother can also pray for blessings. There are some places your mother has never been to."
"Mother, I'm all grown up now, I don't need to be carried anymore," said the Seventh Prince Hongzhao shyly.
"Right now, your mother can still hold you, Hongzhao, which means you haven't grown up yet. When your mother can no longer hold you, you will have grown up."
After putting down the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, Ituma Shushu said with a smile.
