The fourth prince showed favoritism towards the thirteenth prince and neglected Yinzhen somewhat, but I didn't mind. After all, they were brothers, so why distinguish between "yours" and "mine"? I often told Yinzhen, "Since your thirteenth brother grew up under Mother's care, he is Mother's own son. You two must get along well, be respectful to each other as brothers, and not neglect your thirteenth brother. When you grow up, your thirteenth brother will take care of you like your fourth brother did." Yinzhen always took his fourth and thirteenth brothers as role models and wholeheartedly wanted to gain the Emperor's attention.

At this point, Uya glanced at Heyue and smiled slightly: "Heyue, do you understand what I mean?"

Everything has been explained so clearly, how could Heyue not understand?

Isn't it just that they want the thirteenth prince to make way for the fourteenth prince and not compete with him?

He even used the kindness of his adoptive mother as leverage and the brotherly affection that his fourth brother had for his thirteenth brother to persuade him.

"Your daughter-in-law understands, Your Highness, please rest assured." He Yue appeared humble and respectful.

Thirteenth Prince wouldn't compete with Fourteenth Prince; you've advised the wrong person. The one who wants to compete is your eldest son.

Uya nodded in satisfaction and changed the subject: "Don't take what Consort Yi said to heart, but don't get too close to her either. She's proud and cunning, so you might end up getting taken advantage of."

"May your daughter-in-law benefit more from the teachings of your noble mother."

“You don’t need to be so cautious.” Seeing that she spoke so little and was so obedient, Uya couldn’t help but chuckle. “To be honest, I still prefer your lively and bold personality when you were little, so feisty that you dared to hit even Thirteen and say whatever you wanted.”

He Yue's lips twitched.

A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories, so can we please not bring that up?

Heyue laughed awkwardly: "Your Highness is joking. That was all because I was young and didn't know any better. Now that I'm older, I would never be so willful and reckless again."
