I really don't want to think what will happen if this Prince's Mansion really falls into Hongshi's hands in the future.

Forget it, even if it falls into the hands of the dim-witted Hongshi, it's better than it falling into the hands of the cunning Hongli.

"By the way, has Hongli come to visit you while you've been sick?"

Hongxi suddenly asked.

Hongshi nodded. "Don't worry, Second Brother. Although that boy is a bit arrogant, he knows how to be respectful to his brothers. He was the first to come back to visit me the day I came back frightened. But he suddenly fell ill and Father sent him to the estate to recuperate for a month."

After exchanging a glance, Hongxi and Hongyu did not continue the topic. After comforting Hongshi, the three brothers left.

Since it was rare for Hongxi to leave the palace, Hongyu took it upon himself to host a dinner at the largest restaurant in the capital.

The three brothers did not continue their discussion about Hongshi's situation, but instead began talking about their upcoming business trip.

Hongyu will report to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow, which means he will be working under Yinzhen.

Although the three brothers never held official positions, they learned a great deal at the palace school, understanding the functions of the Three Departments and Six Ministries, especially the Ministry of Personnel, which underwent numerous reforms after Yinzhen took over.

"Brother, I heard that Fourth Uncle works very hard when he goes to the yamen, so I guess you won't be able to run off to play as often as you want anymore."

Hongsheng chuckled; he had heard this from his father.

Hongyu also had a bitter smile on his face.

He thought that after wandering around the military camp, he would be able to get a job in the Ministry of War, but he ended up in the Ministry of Personnel.

However, he also knew that although the Ministry of Personnel seemed to be a tough job, it held the reins of the court officials' lives and had many benefits on a daily basis. This could be considered a disguised reward from his grandfather.

"When you first start working on a mission, you can't be thinking about cheating or taking shortcuts."

No sooner had Hongyu finished speaking than a noisy commotion arose outside.

The three brothers looked out the window and saw three missionaries and two Taoist priests accusing each other on the street. Behind each of them stood a group of people, who were either onlookers or believers, but they didn't know.

"Let's go down and see what's going on."
