Hongshi was speechless when asked a question, and after a while he said forcefully: "That's because Hongli was sowing discord in front of Huang Ama."
"Yes, but if you continue to let it go, the only one who will suffer is you. Even if we get rid of Hongli, don't forget that there are still Hong Zhou, Hong Zhan, and even other brothers in the future. Maybe
They can't threaten you now, but what about ten years from now, twenty years from now? No one will
We know when the emperor will pass away, so we must let the emperor recognize you as the most suitable successor besides Hongli from now on." Nala paused, patted Hongshi's hand with sincerity and said: "Those who achieve great things will do so.
, you must endure what others cannot endure, and you must be able to bend and stretch.”
After a long while, Hongshi said in a low voice: "I know this, so please ask the emperor to tell me what to do now."
Nala nodded with satisfaction, "It's very simple. From now on, try your best to speak for Hongli, so that the emperor thinks that you are different from before and will no longer fight for everything. And there is another advantage of doing this, that is, no matter what happens in the future,
Whatever happens to Hongli, I won’t be suspicious of you."
Hongshi nodded and said: "According to Huang's mother-in-law, we don't have to wait until June to bring up this matter. It's the same thing now."
"It's okay to mention it now, as long as we connect well with Prince Lian and don't make any mistakes." After that, Nala also warned: "Remember, from now on, you must not have anything to do with Hongli.
If you take any action against him, treat him as well as you can, and treat him as if you are pitying a dying person."
Hongshi agreed one by one before leaving. As he passed by the study room, he unexpectedly saw Hongli walking towards him, followed by two people of similar age. After getting closer, Hongshi recognized him.
Zhaohui and Agui had failed in their previous competition at Bingxi.
Seeing the two of them, Hongshi became very angry. However, he remembered what Nala said and did not show his displeasure on his face. Instead, he smiled and called, "Fourth brother."
Hong Li was not used to Hong Shi's smiling face. He had the impression that this second brother never bothered to see him. Especially after Bing Xi's competition, he would sometimes call him, but he would pretend not to hear even though he heard him.
, it’s really strange that he took the initiative to say hello now and was so kind.
However, it was strange, so Hongli still went up to him and said politely: "I have met my second brother. Is the second brother here to pay his respects to the empress?"
"Yeah, I haven't been to the palace for a while, so I'll come here to say hello while I'm free today." With that said, he glanced behind Hongli and said to Zhaohui and Zhaohui, who had their heads lowered: "I recognize you, yes.
Are Zhaohui and Agui?"
Seeing that they were recognized by Hongshi, the two of them had to bow their heads and salute, "I have met the second elder brother. Second elder brother is lucky."
Hongshi helped the two of them up with his own hands and said, "No need to be polite. I didn't come to the study during this period. I didn't know that you had already entered the palace to study with me. How can you get used to it?"
The two of them thought that Hongshi would be sarcastic and even deliberately picky about them as before, but they didn't expect him to be so polite. They didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Zhaohui reacted first and said respectfully: "Thank you, second brother, for caring about everything."
Well, Master Zhu is very knowledgeable, and we will benefit a lot from being able to study with him."
Hongshi nodded with relief, "That's good. I'm afraid that you are new to the palace and are not used to the many rules here. If you have anything in the future, feel free to tell me or your fourth brother." It has to be said that Hongshi
At this moment, he still looks quite elegant, not as rough and irritable as before.
After standing for a while, seeing that some of them were restrained and silent, he said knowingly: "It seems that you don't know what to say since I'm here, that's all, I'm leaving first."
"Farewell to Second Brother." Zhaohui quickly pulled Agui to bow his head. After Hongshi walked away, he straightened up, with deep doubts in his eyes. Agui said directly: "Fourth Brother, just now
Is that really the second elder brother? Why do I feel as if he is someone else?"
Hongli laughed and said: "Of course it is the second brother, but I also find his attitude today very strange. It was not like this before. Maybe he has figured it out and feels that there is no need for brothers to compete with each other."
"Or maybe he's just acting." Zhaohui looked at the direction Hongshi was leaving and said coldly: "It is said that a person's character can be changed overnight."
Hongli did not agree with his statement and said: "Are you thinking too much? If the second elder brother wants to act, he will act in front of Huang Ama. Why act in front of me? There is no benefit."
"I'm just guessing. Only he himself knows the truth. In short, it's better for you, Fourth Brother, to be careful." After getting along with each other these days, Zhaohui knows that this Fourth Brother is a sincere person.
I'm a human being, so I don't have much to hide when I speak.
Before Hongli could say a few more words, Agui was already impatient and said: "Okay, you two, stop talking about the second elder brother and help me think about how to write the eight-part essay. Master Zhu obviously knows
I hate these things the most, and they deliberately asked me to write an eight-legged essay, which is obviously deliberately embarrassing. I would rather run around the palace ten times for this thing."
Zhaohui poured a bucket of cold water on his head, "It's a pity that Master Zhu is not interested, so you should just write as required."
Agui wasn't angry either, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Si, Zhaohui, I know you are good at writing, how about you write an article for me?"
Hongli shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, "Agui, Master Zhu is doing this for your own good. I hope you will make some progress, and don't let Master Zhu's good intentions go down. Besides, Master Zhu can tell at a glance what our writing styles are like.
I can write it for you."
"But I really can't write!" Agui said with a sad face: "Now when I think about something, my head feels huge. If the pen weighs a thousand pounds, how can I write it? I'd better wait until tomorrow.
Just take the hit."
"You!" Hongli finally couldn't bear Agui's punishment and said, "That's all, I'll help you again. You go back later and go to Chengqian Palace first. I'll teach you how to write, but you can't do it yourself."
You need to use some brains."
Agui nodded quickly, and then looked at Zhaohui longingly. How could Zhaohui not understand what he meant, and said angrily: "Okay, don't look at me like this. Fourth brother has already helped you. Can I stay out of the matter and go together?"
Just Chengqian Palace."
Agui was very happy now, and pretended to bow to the two of them and said, "Student, I would like to thank you two teachers for teaching me lessons and solving my doubts."
Hongli was made dumbfounded by him, and he gave a false kick and said: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly, it's getting late."
