Zhu Yunying chuckled and remained silent. Perhaps what Zhu Xi said made sense. Zhu Yunying had been too well protected, so he had always been rather naive and playful, like a child who never grew up.

However, Zhu Yunying didn't think there was anything wrong with it. His younger brother was just playful, and as long as he wasn't cruel or lawless, there was nothing he couldn't accept.

Sitting in the main seat, Zhu Yunying chatted with Zhu Xi about everyday matters, and also asked her about her life in Yunnan.

Zhu Yunying also didn't forget Mu Chun, and would occasionally exchange a few words with him. Now, Zhu Yunying was not only the emperor, but also a brother-in-law, so naturally he had to be considerate of everyone.

As for Zhu Yue and Feng Cheng, they didn't feel anything was wrong at this time. Their eldest sister and brother-in-law hadn't been in Yingtian Prefecture for many years, so it was indeed not easy to see them.

At this moment, there was no need to discuss matters of the court, although others might not be able to fully relax in front of Zhu Yunying either. However, at this moment, Zhu Yunying was no longer the high and mighty emperor, and the Chunhe Hall was no longer the solemn Fengtian Hall and Wuying Hall.

Little Zhu ran over happily, lay down on Zhu Yunying's lap, and said, "Dad, we want to drink water."

Zhu Yunying lovingly picked up her chubby son and said, "The child shouldn't drink tea. We'll have someone get you some water. Tomorrow is our day off, how about we go to your second uncle's house?"

Little Zhu was happy; leaving the palace wasn't a particularly rare event for him. He only left the palace once or twice a month at most, and he still enjoyed it very much. Visiting his aunt's and uncle's houses made him even happier.

Although Xiao Zhu rarely visited the Prince of Zhongshan's Mansion, he did go once or twice. However, compared to his aunt and uncle, Xiao Zhu wasn't particularly familiar or close to his three maternal uncles, mainly because they had fewer opportunities to spend time together.

This was a rare moment of relaxation, and Zhu Yunying seized the opportunity, not dwelling too much on important matters. However, that didn't mean he could be completely idle.

After the gathering in the palace ended, Zhu Yunwen and Lady Sang immediately began preparations. Although it didn't require a grand celebration, the necessary preparations still needed to be made. In fact, everyone in the Wu Prince's residence was quite familiar with the emperor's arrival.

This time, it wasn't just the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince who came; the Retired Emperor also came. Even the three Xu brothers and the three Chang brothers were summoned.

Old Zhu and Little Zhu were happily teasing the chubby Zhu Wengeng. The two of them made Zhu Wengeng cry, so they quickly and neatly returned Zhu Wengeng to the heartbroken Zhu Yunzhuo.

"He's a father after all, he knows how to love his son." Old Zhu was in a good mood and said to Zhu Yunying, "When we were teasing the boy, Yunying was so protective of him! We love our great-grandson too, would we ever harm him?!"

Zhu Yunying chuckled and said, "Let's just stroll around Yunhu's residence and talk to the women. We won't go over there. When it's time for a meal, we'll go over and have our meal."

“We’ve also had someone prepare a song and dance performance.” Zhu Yunwen rushed over, leaving his son with the wet nurse and nanny. “We’ve had someone choreograph a song and dance performance, and there’s also a play. We’ll watch it after we finish our meal.”

Old Zhu glared at his good-for-nothing grandson and said, "Your imperial brother is busy with countless affairs of state, how could he be as lazy as you?! Your imperial brother invited them here today, do you think it's just for eating and drinking? We have serious business to discuss, do you want to come along and listen and broaden your horizons?"

Zhu Yunwen was confused and puzzled. "We're all family, why are you talking about this?"

Old Zhu shook his head. This grandson was really good-for-nothing. But there was no need to worry about him. As long as his precious eldest grandson was sensible, that was enough. It would be best if his other grandsons were successful, but it didn't matter if they weren't. Old Zhu didn't care.

Zhu Yunwen didn't mind, and just muttered, "We don't want to talk about serious matters, so we won't listen. Grandfather, brother, you can go and explore on your own, don't worry about us."

In other words, the short-sighted Zhu Yunwen thought that his elder brother, the Emperor, was just visiting. Everyone else, however, thought that the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor were not only visiting, but also going to discuss some important matters, and everyone was waiting for that.
