Chunhe Palace is quite noisy now, mainly because there are quite a few children. Besides the Crown Prince Zhu Wenyin, there are also the Qilin from the Feng family and the Qilin from the Mu family. They have all passed the most adorable age of human cubs and are already developing into the stage that people dislike and even dogs dislike, and have even reached such a stage in their lives.

Even if these children are a bit naive, they might still know some things, and they might be afraid of people or follow certain rules. However, at this age, and given their noble births, they are all rather 'uncontrollable'.

After all, not every child is a prodigy, or a 'monster' like Joo Yoon-young.

"Don't worry about it, let's just enjoy it." Zhu Yunying quickly stopped Mu Chun, and also acted like an 'older brother'. "You're just too particular about the rules, just like Prince Qianning! Grandfather and Father Emperor are very close to Prince Qianning, but he always adheres to the etiquette between ruler and subject."

This wasn't Zhu Yunying trying to comfort Mu Chun; he was telling the truth.

In the eyes of both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang, Mu Ying was always considered family. Mu Ying also truly regarded Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and Zhu Yuanzhang as relatives, which is why he coughed up blood due to excessive grief after Empress Ma's death, and why he fell ill and died after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.

"Uncle!" Feng Qi ran over and complained, "My cousin stole our insects!"

Feng Lin came over wiping away his tears. He was just a child and didn't understand, but he knew that his uncle was the most powerful. "Uncle, my brother won't play with me."

Zhu Yunying really wanted to take back what he had said earlier. If these children started making a fuss, most people really couldn't handle them. They would really drive you crazy with all the noise. They were all difficult to manage and deal with.

"Dad!" The little tyrant of the capital city ran over shouting, "Dad! If my cousin won't ride a horse with us, then we'll ride one!"

This is his own son, this is his own nephew; Zhu Yunying didn't know what to do at this point. Therefore, it's better to end this muddled legal battle; arguing with children is definitely unnecessary. Besides, even if the children are making a fuss now, if the adults take it seriously and start arguing, the children might be playing together again before the discussion is even over.

Mu Chun and Feng Cheng wanted to laugh but dared not, while Zhu Yuntong actually became the leader of the children.

Although the eldest uncle is very capable, in the eyes of his nephews and nieces, the youngest uncle is the best. Even though Mu Qi and Mu Lin were initially unfamiliar with their youngest uncle, they were now happily playing with him.

Zhu Yunying wasn't surprised at all; he had long been aware of his younger brother's abilities. Zhu Yunying was like a child who never grew up; even after having children, he remained playful and could get along with almost anyone.

It must be said that Zhu Yunying's ability is also a skill. Watching his younger brother happily playing around with the children, Zhu Yunying just watched with a smile.

"Yunying is already so old, and he still doesn't know any better!" Zhu Xi came to Zhu Yunying's side and said with some complaint, "We told him about it yesterday, but he still wouldn't listen!"

Zhu Yunying glanced at her younger sister and said, "It's good that Yunying is happy. We like power, he likes to play. We don't expect him to become a wise prince, it's good that he's happy. I promised Mother that I would take good care of the three of you."

Zhu Xi, who didn't actually have a deep impression of Chang Shi, said earnestly, "If Mother knew these things, she would definitely be very happy. My brother has been protecting us and Yun Tong all these years. We know that, and Mother must know that too."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, and let's ignore these annoying people!" Zhu Yunying said cheerfully as he turned around. "Let's go have some tea and have a chat. It's been so many years since I've seen you. Let's talk. Today it's just the few of us brothers and sisters here; we won't let Grandfather come."

"Grandpa Emperor is still the same as always, he just favors my brother." Zhu Xi muttered, "We haven't seen Grandpa Emperor for many years. Yesterday, he only talked to us for a few words, not as much as he talked to Mu Chun."

Zhu Yunying didn't respond. She was well aware of Old Zhu's favoritism and preference for sons over daughters. However, as the beneficiary, she didn't want to speak ill of Old Zhu at this time.

Seeing that Madam Sang was about to bow, Zhu Yunying waved his hand, "No need for formalities. Where is our nephew? Bring him here so we can see him!"

Sang said cautiously, "Your Majesty, His Highness said that the palace was lively today, so he did not allow me to bring him to the palace."

Zhu Yunying said irritably, "That brat wants it easy? He probably thinks the palace is in turmoil and he can't bear to see our nephew go through all that trouble, right?"

Lady Sang remained silent. In truth, she wasn't particularly afraid of Zhu Yunying. The main issue was that Zhu Yunying showed no fear of the emperor and was extremely close to him. Therefore, Lady Sang, the Princess Consort of Wu, was gradually becoming less reserved in front of the emperor.

"We've already talked to Yunhuo, but he's the only one who can't bear to mess with Wengeng." Zhu Yue also started to denounce Zhu Yunhuo. "His elder brother protects him so much, but he's so unforgiving, he won't even bring Wengeng into the palace for his elder brother to see! When we talk to him about it, he runs away. He knows we can't go to the Wuying Hall!"

Zhu Yunying was dumbfounded. He had been presumptuous, thinking that Zhu Yunxuan was simply having a disagreement with his brothers-in-law and that's why he had gone to wait for him. Turns out, the boy had simply found his sister annoying and had gone to the Wuying Hall to find some peace and quiet!

This whole thing was utterly ridiculous, but Zhu Yunying didn't intend to say anything more. He knew his younger brother well; he was capable of anything, no matter how absurd.

"It's good that you love your son after all," Zhu Yunying said with a smile, giving Zhu Yunhu a way out. "The child is naturally sleepy, so it's better to keep him in the manor than to bring him here."

Zhu Xi felt that her brother hadn't changed, so she acted as usual, "Brother, you're always so protective of Yun Tong! He's already this old, and he's settled down and started a family! Brother, it's because you protect him like this that he's always been so immature."
