I used to think that the girls chosen for trial marriage were just ordinary palace maids.
It seems there's some hidden trickery involved.
Sigh, but I can't really worry about it. Let the Seventh Prince Hongzhao worry about it himself.
...
So, when the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and his five brothers returned to Chunqi Xiuse from the Imperial Study.
Ituma Shushu then recounted how the three palace maids had been extremely hostile towards her that day.
Now, the tenth prince Honghao and the eleventh prince Hongyao are also growing up.
So not long ago, Ituma Shushu also told the two of them about her unusual talent.
Considering the uncertain future of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, and the fact that they were all from the imperial family.
It was never the same world as the one I lived in before I transmigrated.
The more they know, the better they can protect themselves.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ituma Shushu decided to take this matter seriously.
I decided to tell the five brothers what happened.
Instead of telling it only to the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
The Ninth Prince, Hongxuan, was the most impatient. He had just heard Ituma Shushu speak.
He immediately said, "Mother, I'll have someone investigate those three palace maids you mentioned."
Ituma Shushu sighed and said softly, "You might not find anything even if you investigate."
You should know that the palace maids in our palace all have families or even clans.
They might have some kind of arrangement made by their family.
Besides, they haven't done anything yet.
Eighth Prince Hongxu nodded and said, "Hongxuan, Mother is right."
Mother wants us to keep an eye on this, rather than rushing to investigate now.
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, nodded and said, "I understand what Mother means."
Your mother thinks that three out of ten palace maids have ill intentions towards you.
Something's not right; it might involve other aspects.
At the very least, some people have already started plotting against me.
Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu nodded.
Then she said softly, "Yes, you have always lived under the protection of your father, the Emperor."
Therefore, some people who wanted to take advantage of you never found an opportunity.
But now you are about to get married.
This gave those who were eyeing you an opportunity.
So they started taking action.
Ituma Shushu couldn't help but sigh again as she said this.
She frowned and said softly, "Alas, even those four palace maids chosen by Mother."
Mother, I'm not even sure if there's a problem.
You don't need to, because they were chosen by your mother, so they don't get any special treatment.
"My mother simply chose four of the seven palace maids who harbored no ill will towards her."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, solemnly replied, "Mother, I understand."
Afterwards, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao saw that Ituma Shushu still looked worried.
He couldn't help but gently comfort Ituma Shushu, saying, "Mother, you don't need to worry too much."
Now that Hongzhao has prepared himself mentally, he certainly won't suffer losses in the future.
After the Seventh Prince Hongzhao finished speaking, he gave the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan a wink.
Ninth Prince Hongxuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately said with a grin, "Mother, didn't you just say that among the three palace maids who were hostile to you?"
One is the most beautiful, one has the best temperament, and only one is a bit ordinary?
Ituma Shushu, still frowning, replied absentmindedly, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ninth Prince Hongxuan continued with a grin, "Mother, do you believe it or not, soon..."
The entire harem knows that you deliberately didn't choose any pretty palace maids for Seventh Prince.
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince Hongxu immediately chimed in, "That's right, Mother."
When a princess is to be married to another woman, her mother will definitely choose one or two of the most beautiful or elegant maids from this group of palace maids.
Anyway, we need someone to make a good impression, and the four you picked, Mother, are all relatively ordinary.
Ninth Prince Hongxuan quickly came over and said in a cheeky tone, "Oh, Mother."
Soon, there will definitely be new rumors about you circulating.
People will say, "Mother, it's because you're not good-looking."
That's why they specifically chose a woman of average appearance for the trial marriage.
You should know that women who try to get married don't need to consider family background when choosing a partner.
But Mother, you just had to kick out the good-looking and elegant ones.
The Eighth Prince Hongxu also came over, and he whispered in a low voice, "Mother, I think..."
The old women from the Imperial Household Department must have been muttering about you to themselves just now.
Oh, so it turns out that Consort Shu dislikes pretty palace maids!
Chacha, I thought Consort Shu would pick a pretty one no matter what.
Surprisingly, the ones she picked were all ordinary.
Ituma Shushu raised an eyebrow at the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, who had come close to her and were saying a lot of things.
Suddenly, she moved both hands at the same time.
In an instant, he grabbed one of their ears.
"Ouch, Mom, why are you pulling my ear?"
Ninth Prince Hongxuan complained with a wronged expression.
"Oh dear, Mother, let's talk this out."
The Eighth Prince, Hongxu, spoke cautiously.
Ituma Shushu sneered, "Hmph, so other people's mothers are all chosen based on their looks, huh?"
"You two, tell me honestly, where did you get this information from?"
Eighth Prince Hongxu: "..."
Ninth Prince Hongxuan: "..."
