Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
His younger brother liked to travel around. Emperor Hao hadn’t seen him for more than a year.
Hearing that his younger brother had returned, Emperor Hao was pleasantly surprised and quickly said, “Quickly let him in.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The head eunuch quickly went out again and bowed to Prince Qing, who was waiting outside the royal study. He said, “The Emperor wishes to see you now.”
“Thank you.” Prince Qing smiled and thanked him before entering.
He had just come back from a vacation and had not even had the time to change his clothes.
According to etiquette, when meeting the Emperor, one had to wear formal clothes. However, this was his brother and they never had any bad blood between each other, so he did not care about such trifles.
“Your Highness.” The moment Prince Qing entered, he wanted to give his brother a respectful bow.
Emperor Hao didn’t wait for him to kneel down and helped him up with a smile, “You’re finally willing to come back.”
Prince Qing smiled and said, “l received the letter saying that your son has been found. 1 was curious and wanted to take a look. Initially, I already planned to come back. Hasn’t it been almost a year? I miss you and Mother.
Speaking of, where is she? Why wasn’t she there when 1 went to the Heavenly Spirit Temple?”
“This matter is a long story. She can tell you in detail in the future. It’s almost the new year, Mother should be back soon. You know how Mother is, it’s best to speak directly to her instead.” Emperor Hao laughed.
“That’s true.” Prince Qing smiled and nodded.
“You’ll be staying longer this time, right? Don’t tell me you’ll be leaving again after the new year.”
“Do you blame me? Fine, fine, fine. I’ll stay as long as you don’t chase me out.”
“Is that so?” Emperor Hao raised his eyebrows.
He didn’t believe it.
Prince Qing immediately laughed. “Maybe there’s nothing left for me to see here. Moreover, I’m already twenty-five years old, so it’s time for me to help you out. If you need anything from me, just let me know.”
Ever since he was young, it was his brother who had indulged him in many things. Otherwise, he would not be able to live comfortably. He could travel everywhere and even come to the capital at any time.
He had a fief. Unless the Emperor summoned him, he could not leave his fief or come to the capital.
Emperor Hao trusted his brother. When he heard that his brother was finally willing to help him and was no longer obsessed with traveling places, he was naturally extremely happy.
Just as he was about to tell his younger brother about the matter of him pulling in the net and his plans for so many years, the words reached his throat. Before he could say them, he remembered that his mother had sternly warned him before that he had to be wary of everyone. He was told to keep it a secret forever.
Therefore, he swallowed these words back into his stomach.
Emperor Hao smiled and said, “1 have nothing on for now. When I have one in the future, you will definitely help me.”
“Alright.” Prince Qing visibly relaxed. “Oh right, where’s my nephew?”
Previously, when his nephew, the Crown Prince, was born, he was out playing. When he received the letter that his nephew was born, he wanted to come back and see him. At that point, his nephew disappeared, so he had not seen his nephew until now.
“Let’s go, I’ll bring you to see him.” Emperor Hao was happy. He waved his hand and personally brought his brother there.
As he walked, Emperor Hao said, “He should be studying with the Grand Tutor now. He is very sensible. There is only one thing… No matter what the Grand Tutor teaches, he alway takes a long time to learn it. He is the Crown Prince and will inherit my throne in the future. This makes me a little worried..”
