The two princes naturally had no respect for Yinzhen. They had not gotten along since childhood. The Ninth and Tenth Princes of Mongolia had seen Yinzhen's abilities and admired him, but it was unlikely that they would admit it to him to his face.
Ninth Prince: "From now on, don't call me Fourth Brother anymore. In private, just call me Fourth Brother!"
The Tenth Prince muttered, "You were the one who called first, weren't you?"
The Ninth Prince glared at him.
The Tenth Prince had no choice but to shut up.
The Eighth Prince arrived shortly after the two finished speaking.
The Ninth and Tenth Princes stood up and bowed to the Eighth Prince, who returned the bow with a helpless expression: "Why are you so distant with me, Ninth and Tenth Brothers?"
They never used to care about these things. Although I know their relationship has become a bit distant, this is too distant!
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Eighth Brother, you flatter me. However, we must not neglect the proper etiquette."
The Eighth Prince's expression became even more helpless: "Ninth Brother, I didn't have time to explain to you before you went to Mongolia. Your Eighth Sister-in-law even said she wanted to apologize to Ninth Brother's wife and Tenth Brother's wife. Our brotherhood of many years cannot be abandoned because of the sordid affairs between women."
The Tenth Prince's wife went to Mongolia with him, so it was difficult to apologize to her. However, the Ninth Prince's wife was still in the capital. When the Ninth Prince returned, he had not heard anything about the Eighth Prince's wife apologizing.
I just felt that the Eighth Prince's words were incredibly hypocritical.
Without the filter, the Ninth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince and felt that something was wrong. The Eighth Prince was capable, but everything is afraid of comparison.
To be fair, having worked with Yinzhen for a period of time, the Ninth Prince was impressed by Yinzhen's abilities; Yinzhen could convince him completely in his area of expertise.
However, since she had been a good brother to the Eighth Prince for many years, it was not appropriate to break off relations. So she said nonchalantly, "Eighth Brother, you are too kind. How can I, the wife, accept your apology? We are all relatives, there is no need for you to make this trip."
No bad luck!
Knowing the Eighth Prince's personality, the Ninth Prince surely understands it. Even if he's coaxed into coming over to apologize, he'll probably still hold his head high. I don't know where his sense of superiority comes from.
I didn't realize it before, but now that I think about it, I can't help but despise my past self for always giving in without realizing it.
