Since Lu Qingyan ascended the throne, Hua Yeyu and Hua Yeshuang have not seen her for a long time.
The servants attending to him knew nothing about the matter.
Where is His Majesty? -- I don't know.
What is His Majesty doing? -- I don't know.
When will His Majesty return? -- I don't know.
After two days, Hua Yeshuang became somewhat anxious. Never before had she longed for someone to appear before her as much as she did now, even if the future held a completely different scenario.
Hua Yeyu was much calmer than Hua Yeshuang. He had been eating and sleeping well these past two days, and even ate half a bowl more rice than before.
Seeing Hua Yeshuang's listless appearance, Hua Yeyu also felt bad. That night, Hua Yeyu brought a jar of fine wine from outside the palace and drank with Hua Yeshuang.
"What's bothering you right now? Have a couple of drinks and you'll feel better. A good drink can wash away all your troubles, and if one time isn't enough, have two, three, or even four," Hua Yeyu said to her brother, Hua Yeshuang, with concern.
In fact, the two of them were quite similar, but Hua Yeyu often treated him like an older brother.
Hua Yeshuang reached out and took the wine jar from Hua Yeyu, and said with a smile, "You've never been good at drinking; you get drunk after just a little. I didn't know you had hidden such a good jar of wine. I thought you were keeping it for yourself, but I didn't expect you to be willing to take it out and drink it with me."
Hua Yeyu laughed and said, "Whenever my brother gets something good, he always saves a share for me. Why would I hide it from him and eat it all by myself?"
"What do you mean by eating alone?" Hua Yeshuang shook her head. Hua Yeyu would never do such a thing. "If you're going to drink, then drink. Why are you talking about all that nonsense?"
Hua Yeshuang picked up the jar and poured two large cups.
One cup after another, and gradually he became drunk.
"See? I have good taste as your younger brother. I said she could do it, and she did it." Half-drunk and half-awake, Hua Yeyu was much gentler than usual, subtly developing into Hua Yeshuang's personality.
Hua Yeshuang just twitched her lips when she heard him say that: "If she can't even do this, then there was no need for us to stay here in the first place. I just didn't expect that she was so calculating. We are nominally her masters, but we didn't teach her anything, we just ran errands for her a few times."
Hua Yeyu took another sip of wine.
Hua Yeshuang continued, "Now her reign as emperor is quite meaningless. She has nothing under her control and is just holding onto the title."
Hua Yeyu raised an eyebrow: "Don't talk about her or anything. As long as we've sorted things out, that's all that matters. We were never on the same path to begin with. Even if we occasionally walked together and ended up together, we'd still go our separate ways. Why think so much?"
Hua Yeyu was very open-minded, but Hua Yeshuang was not. He sipped his wine glass and said with a wry smile, "I remember the first time I saw her, she was as fat as a football, and many people said she was terribly ugly. But I thought she was quite cute. Brother, don't you think you and I are a bit alike?"
Hua Yeyu paused for a moment, then said, "Your Highness has a pure heart, and my brother has a discerning eye."
Hua Yeshuang scoffed, "You're always good at saying these polite things; I can never figure out what you really mean."
“However, my brother has always known what I’m thinking.” Hua Yeyu put away her wine glass. “Actually, I would rather you never know, just as I never knew you.”
The game has progressed to this point, and there's absolutely no turning back. He didn't want his brother to soften his stance now and let all their efforts go to waste.
