Seventh Prince Hongzhao immediately gave Eighth Prince Hongxu a look that said, "Good luck to you."
At the same time, he thought to himself: Eighth brother, you should just listen to your mother.
Ahem, now even Seventh Brother can't help you.
Blame it on Lao Jiu!
Who told him to expose your secrets so quickly!
Eighth Prince Hongxu: "..."
Sure enough, as long as she's facing her own mother, she shouldn't have any expectations of her seventh brother.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu stared at the Eighth Prince Hongxu and said, "Hongxu."
Did you hear what your mother just said?
"Hmm, should Mother repeat it again?"
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince could only grit his teeth and reply, "No need, Mother."
I heard you clearly. From now on, I will bring my military strategy book to you every day to recite it.
Ituma Shushu nodded in satisfaction and raised an eyebrow, saying, "That's good, I'll remember that."
...
After dinner, the five brothers, including the seventh prince Hongzhao, returned to their residence.
Meanwhile, Ituma Shushu leaned back on the chaise longue, lost in thought.
Alas, as the saying goes, a young ruler makes a country suspicious, and Hongzhao is not even seventeen years old yet!
I had indeed oversimplified things before.
This is a candidate for the next emperor!
Unless there are no other choices, there are always choices available.
Which emperor wouldn't consider multiple factors?
In order to ensure that the successor could ascend the throne more securely.

Hongzhao's three elder brothers are the Third Prince Hongshi, the Fifth Prince Hongli, and the Sixth Prince Hongzhou.
All three of them are in their prime, and by any measure, they are more suitable than Hongzhao.
In particular, the Fifth Prince Hongli was more capable than the Sixth Prince Hongzhou when he was studying in the Imperial Study.
Furthermore, the birth mothers of the Third Prince Hongshi and the Sixth Prince Hongzhou were Han Chinese who later joined the Manchu banner system.
However, the birth mother of the Fifth Prince Hongshi was from the same prominent Manchu clan as Hongzhao's primary consort, the Niohuru clan.
Well, fortunately, the original owner of this body was also a Manchu, although not from a prominent Manchu family.
Therefore, in terms of status, Hongzhao and the Fifth Prince Hongzhao were not too different.
Another crucial point is that in the world before he transmigrated, it was Hongli who ultimately succeeded in ascending the throne.
However, this world is, after all, a parallel world.
In this world, Hongli is the Fifth Prince, while in the world before he transmigrated, he was the Fourth Prince.
Because this world now has one more son of Consort An, the Fourth Prince Hongjun.
