Yonghong and Yongkun were puzzled. "Didn't Father tell us to go back and rest?" Staying in front of the Emperor would only cause trouble for Father.
Yonghu clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking inscrutable, and said, "Go back and rest. What if someone comes to invite you?"
Yonghong and Yongkun exchanged a glance, their identical eyes conveying only one word: Who? They truly possessed a clear-eyed stupidity.
Yonghu: ...
"Nonsense, of course it's the Empress Dowager. Don't you know that eldest brother and seventh brother often go to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager?"
This is something everyone knows; even the servants who attend to them say so.
Yonghong and Yongkun scratched their heads; the two brothers, being twins, were remarkably similar in some of their actions and words.
"When the eldest brother and the seventh brother go to pay their respects, shouldn't we brothers go too?"
“We brothers even went there just as many times as the two of them.”
"Third Brother, do we have a problem too?"
No way! Yonghong and Yongkun looked at each other in bewilderment. They had simply gone over to pay their respects and hadn't done anything else.
Yonghu had a headache. He realized his mother was right; he had to keep a close eye on his two younger brothers, or they would be foolish enough to be deceived without even realizing it.
“We are different from them; our greetings are just a formality.”
But the eldest brother and the seventh brother stayed longer, and each time they went out, they received a lot of rewards.
I suspect that the Empress Dowager definitely wanted to win over her eldest brother and seventh brother.
We can't be fooled, Mother said. It's not good to take other people's things. If we do, we might have to pay the price.
Yonghu felt that he was already quite wealthy and there was no need for him to be greedy for cheap deals in this area.
Besides, what treasures doesn't your mother have? If you really want it, go back to your mother. Do you think she'll let you go empty-handed?
Hehe, feeling quite pleased with himself, Yonghu waved to Yonghong and Yongkun, "Anyway, when we're out and about, if Mother tells you to listen to me, then you should listen to me."
I've been serving my father, the Emperor, in his presence lately. He may have a sharp tongue, but he's kind at heart.
Seeing how hard we brothers have worked, she'll definitely reward us separately; I'm sure the Empress Dowager will give us a generous gift too.
At least their father, the Emperor, is their biological father and wouldn't betray them; their mother, the Empress, isn't their biological mother and they can't understand her psychology.
Yonghong and Yongkun nodded silently, "We will listen to Third Brother."
"Yes, we'll stay in front of the emperor. We're princes, we won't suffer any losses."
