Zhu Yunying's eyes lit up, and he said, "Alright, I'll have your mother send it over later. If the cloak is nice, I'll have your mother embroider one for us too. It's starting to get cold outside now, and we'll be in the wind when we go to court in the morning, it'll be cold."

Little Zhu pinched Zhu Wenjin's little face, and when he saw his younger brother start to cry, he immediately turned around and ran away, "Dad, I knew Wenjin would cry."

Seeing the troubled female official, Zhu Yunying said, "Go and coax her."

Lady Wang wasn't qualified to come, but her female attendants and Zhu Wenjin's wet nurse could come along. Seeing Zhu Wenjin crying, they naturally felt sorry for him and were anxious. Although the one they served certainly wouldn't ascend the throne, he was still a prince; serving him well would ensure wealth and status for his descendants.

The emperor remained silent, and since it was the crown prince who had caused the tears, they could only watch helplessly, not daring to show any sign of resentment.

Xu Miaoqing pretended not to see it. As the Empress, she was the mother of the nation. It was no problem for the Emperor to take concubines. When other concubines gave birth to children for the Emperor, Xu Miaoqing would generously reward them because she was the Empress.

However, this doesn't mean Xu Miaoqing has no other thoughts. As long as they don't threaten her and the Crown Prince's positions, she can be magnanimous and dignified. If others have ulterior motives, although the Empress is not as noble as the Emperor, she still has plenty of ways to deal with people, especially in the palace.

Fortunately, it seems that Zhu Yunying's concubines are all well-behaved, with no messy affairs or infighting. Mainly because once little Zhu was born, many things became clear.

"Hey girl, let me tell you, outside..."

Just as Xiao Xiao Zhu was about to show off, Zhu Yunying coughed, and Xu Miaoqing's expression changed. She then smiled and coaxed Xiao Xiao Zhu to prepare dinner.

There are some things that Little Zhu can learn, but the other princes and princesses can neither learn nor come into contact with them.

This wasn't just a tacit understanding between Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing; it was also tacitly approved by Old Zhu. Therefore, the things that Old Zhu and Little Zhu taught Little Zhu—the things that were given to him as a special tutor—could only be learned by Little Zhu!
