Ituma Shushu and the Seventh Prince Hongzhao exchanged a glance, and could only walk towards the Eighth and Ninth Princes with helpless expressions.
After playing for a while, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince gradually became sleepy, so she signaled to the servants who were attending to them to take them back to rest.
Ituma Shushu turned around, patted the head of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, and said softly, "Hongzhao, go back and rest for a while too."
“Yes, Mother.” The Seventh Prince Hongzhao nodded.
Ituma Shushu gestured to Chunhua, Qiuyue, Xiaoyezi, and Xiaozhuozi to carefully serve the Seventh Prince.
Then, she began to handle the daily affairs of Qingyun Yaxuan.
She had just finished dealing with the daily affairs of Qingyun Yaxuan when she saw Xiao Anzi rushing into the main hall.
Ituma Shushu wondered: Could something big have happened in the harem?
Soon, Xiao Anzi ran up to her.
Xiao Anzi hurriedly bowed to her and said urgently, "Your Majesty, news just came from Consort Ning's palace that when the imperial physician took her pulse today, he diagnosed that Consort Ning is already more than two months pregnant with the emperor's child."
Ituma Shushu suddenly stood up and raised her voice to Xiao Anzi, "Is this news true?"
"Your Majesty, the news that Consort Ning is pregnant with the Emperor's child has already spread throughout the palace," Xiao Anzi hurriedly replied.
Ituma Shushu raised her eyebrows slightly, then waved her hand and said gently to Xiao Anzi, "I know about this news. Xiao Anzi, you may leave now."
Xiao Anzi quickly bowed his head and continued, "Your Majesty, besides the news that Consort Ning is pregnant with the Emperor's child, there is also news about Your Majesty that has spread throughout the palace."
Ituma Shushu was completely confused. Lately, apart from paying her respects to the Empress on the first and fifteenth of each month, she had been spending her time at Qingyun Yaxuan with the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince. Even when she checked in to collect life points, it was all at Qingyun Yaxuan. What kind of news about her would be circulating in the harem?
She looked at Xiao Anzi with a puzzled expression and frowned, saying, "Tell me, what news do you have about me?"
Xiao Anzi continued, bowing his head, "The news circulating in the palace is that Consort Ning's pregnancy with the emperor's child is due to her daily prayers at dawn. It is said that Consort Ning has been praying every day at dawn ever since she learned that Consort Shu was pregnant with the Eighth and Ninth Princes."
Ituma Shushu lowered her eyes slightly, but her heart began to stir.
She whispered to Xiao Anzi, "As far as I know, in the harem, besides Consort Ning, Consort Yu and Consort Yun also insist on praying for blessings at dawn every day. In addition, there are some Noble Ladies, Attendants, and Concubines who also insist on praying for blessings at dawn every day."
Ituma Shushu pondered for a moment, then continued softly, "Those noble ladies, consorts, and even Consorts of the Imperial Concubine, Consort Ning, and Consort Yun, who insisted on praying for blessings at dawn even earlier, have not yet received any news of being pregnant with the emperor's child."
Last time, Consort Yu was pregnant with the emperor's child. This time, neither Consort Yun nor Consort Yu is pregnant with the emperor's child; only Consort Ning is pregnant.
In my opinion, besides praying for blessings every day at dawn, it should also be related to my own deep-rooted good fortune.
At this moment, Luo Ye, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but excitedly say, "Your Majesty, you are truly blessed!"
Zhi Qiu couldn't help but say excitedly, "That's for sure, otherwise how could our Empress have given birth to the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Prince?"
Xiao Anzi also said excitedly, "Then being able to serve Your Majesty is a blessing we've accumulated over many lifetimes."
Ituma Shushu joked, "Then in your eyes, I was just praising myself."
She chuckled twice, raised her eyebrows, and said, "In my opinion, it's because our Emperor is blessed with great fortune. Now, whether it's the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, or the Fifth Princess, they are all healthy. That must be because the Emperor is blessed with great fortune, so they can also receive the favor of Heaven."
Luoye, Zhiqiu, and Xiao Anzi quickly responded, "Your Majesty is blessed with boundless fortune!"
Ituma Shushu smiled and instructed, "Xiao Anzi, you may leave now. Report back to me if you have any news."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Anzi replied with a bow.
After Xiao Anzi left.
As Ituma Shushu walked towards her bedchamber, she said to Luoye and Zhiqiu, "You two help me return to my bedchamber to rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Luoye and Zhiqiu replied in unison.
Lying on the bed, she muttered to herself: "Consort Ning is finally pregnant with the emperor's child! I've been waiting forever. I just wonder how many years longer Emperor Yongzheng's lifespan will be this time?"
She was secretly looking forward to it and couldn't wait to open "Dawn Mall".
Ituma Shushu looked stunned because she saw a large green light flashing in the upper right corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".
She was sure she wasn't seeing things; weren't the headlights always red? How did they turn green this time?
Ituma Shushu stared blankly for a while, then kept repeating to herself, "Dawn Mall," "Dawn Mall," "Dawn Mall"...
She thought to herself: She clearly remembered that when she first linked her account to "Dawn Mall", a cold, mechanical voice appeared.
Later, "Dawn Mall" continued to transmit information in the form of text, and Ituma Shushu never heard any sound again.
Sometimes Ituma Shushu wondered if she really heard that cold, mechanical voice that day. Could it have been just her imagination?
She had just been trying to test "Chenxi Mall," but "Chenxi Mall" didn't respond at all this time.
Ituma Shushu had no choice but to temporarily abandon her attempt to explore "Dawn Mall".
She then stared at the constantly flashing green headlight, her brows furrowed.
What's the difference between the green light that "Chenxi Mall" lit up this time and the red light that it lit up before?
Could it be that "Dawn Mall" got tired of red and wanted to change the color? Ituma Shushu felt a wave of embarrassment at the thought.
She stared at the green headlight, pondering for a long time, while the green headlight continued to flash boldly.
No matter how hard Ituma Shushu thought, she couldn't find any clues. She felt helpless and realized that she had no choice but to give up on the investigation for now.
Next, she looked at the light pink button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall", hesitated for a moment, and finally used her mind to form a small hand to press the light pink button.
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
[Yongzheng]
Lifespan: 3 years and 5 months
Lifespan cannot be exchanged for vitality points.
There is no indication that Emperor Yongzheng's lifespan increased.
Ituma Shushu considered for a moment, then used her mind to form a small hand and pressed the light blue button in the upper left corner of the virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall".
The virtual transparent panel of "Dawn Mall" displayed:
Ituma Shushu
[Vitality Points: -]
Lifespan: 5 years and 5 months
Lifespan can be exchanged for vitality points.
