In the seventh year of Hongwu, the legitimate eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born.

Such treatment was quite luxurious for Zhu Yunying, but since he was a diligent emperor, he naturally couldn't expect too many opportunities to slack off.
After washing up, Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing had breakfast with little Zhu. Old Zhu arrived at this time, dressed like a wealthy man. Little Zhu, on the other hand, looked every bit the rich young master, an image all too familiar to him.
With Xu Miaoqing's help, Zhu Yunying put on the clothes of a Confucian scholar. It was better to dress like a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the county-level imperial examinations). It gave him a certain social status, but it wasn't too dazzling. It was just so-so.
The retired emperor and the emperor, along with the crown prince, left the palace. If some civil officials found out, they would surely start making a fuss and oppose this.
After all, these three people held extremely special positions. It would be one thing for one of them to leave the palace, and it would be acceptable for two of them to go on incognito visits. But for all three of them to leave the palace together was unacceptable. It was simply a joke, practically gambling with the fate of the nation.

Looking at the still relatively prosperous Yingtian Prefecture, Old Zhu and Young Zhu were somewhat proud at this time. This was the result of their efforts, and this was a 'golden age' that the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty had worked hard to govern the country. At least it had some of the beginnings of a golden age.
Little Zhu has seen quite a bit of the world now, unlike when she first saw the bustling Yingtian Prefecture and was all shouting and making a fuss.
Watching Little Zhu running around everywhere, Old Zhu and Little Zhu laughed too. Little Zhu's happiness made them very happy.
