Zhu Yunwen immediately felt embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Brother, we're also short two concubines. If there are any beautiful women, could you ask my sister-in-law to keep an eye out for us?"

Zhu Yunying was both amused and annoyed. She said irritably, "Go find your elder sister. Even if they say you're greedy and lustful, they should still help you!"

Even if Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue complain that Zhu Yuntang is greedy and lustful, they would definitely be happy if their younger brother had many children.

If their husbands wanted to take concubines, they might not object much, after all, they didn't want to be labeled as 'jealous'. But this matter wasn't so easy. Did they really think that becoming a prince consort meant they could have three wives and four concubines?

However, if their younger brother wanted more concubines, they would definitely encourage him. After all, in their eyes, Sang Shi wasn't particularly beautiful, at most she was just somewhat attractive, and her temperament wasn't very good either. They had long felt that their younger brother was being treated unfairly.

Zhu Yunwen chuckled and said to Zhu Yunying, "Then we understand. We'll just say it's the Emperor's decree, that we have few heirs now."

Looking at his lazy younger brother, Zhu Yunying really didn't know what to say. As the older brother, it seemed he could only take the blame for Zhu Yunying's actions. Fortunately, Zhu Yunying was the emperor, so no one dared to blame him.

“That makes sense. You need to work harder too.” Zhu Yunying looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile and said, “Look at us, we now have two sons and a daughter, and Yunwen now has three sons and a daughter. Among us brothers, you are the only one who is not quite there yet.”

To be honest, Zhu Yunwen was the most successful of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons in this respect. Although he didn't have as many wives and concubines as Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunwen was indeed quite prolific.

Zhu Yunwen muttered to himself, "We already have a headache with just one son, let alone a few more. I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace. Your Majesty, you don't know, but yesterday one of our ornaments was broken by the son."

Zhu Yunying quickly waved for him to leave. He knew his younger brother's thoughts; if this continued, it would likely turn into a farce of feigning poverty. And then, they might try to take something out of the palace again.

Zhu Yunwen was somewhat disappointed. He had launched numerous attacks, and most of the time he had managed to bring something back. But this time he hadn't succeeded. It seemed his elder brother had seen through his act and stopped him from continuing.

Little Zhu appeared happily riding his pony. He was delighted to see Zhu Yunwen and said, "Second Uncle, Great-Grandfather wants you to go to him."

Zhu Yunwen's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Nephew, you have to tell your second uncle why your great-grandfather summoned us over. We haven't done anything wrong, so is your great-grandfather happy today?"

Little Zhu was very proud and said to Zhu Yunwen, "Great-grandfather is the happiest today. We practiced martial arts with him. Great-grandfather said we are the best, even better than our father!"

Zhu Yunwen glanced at the Wuying Hall and didn't mind speaking ill of him, "Your father loved martial arts the most, we knew that when we were young. Your great-grandfather and your imperial grandfather both said that if your father were to become a martial emperor, we would have a hard time. Just like your maternal great-uncle, neither of them had the talent to be foolish."

“My great-uncle doesn’t know martial arts,” Little Zhu immediately added. “My great-great-grandfather said our eldest uncle is alright. Cousin Mu is also alright, and Cousin Feng is also alright.”

Zhu Yunwen glanced at little Zhu riding on horseback and muttered, "Grandpa really is like that, he tells you everything. Just like your father, Grandpa doesn't hide anything from you, but he doesn't tell us anything."

Zhu Yunwen was probably used to this kind of differential treatment, because he had seen plenty of these things since he was a child.

Upon arriving at the Qianqing Palace with his eldest nephew, Zhu Yunwen immediately bowed respectfully, though he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive. From what Zhu Yunwen knew, the only people who wouldn't be afraid in front of his grandfather were probably his father, his elder brother, and his increasingly disrespectful eldest nephew.

Seeing his eldest nephew climb onto Old Zhu's shoulders and sit there, and seeing Old Zhu kindly playing with little Zhu, Zhu Yunwen trembled even more. Even his father, the Emperor, probably hadn't climbed onto his grandfather's shoulders.

I have heard that my grandfather wanted my elder brother to sit on his shoulders or back, but my elder brother was unwilling.

So, it's definitely my nephew who's more successful!
