Of course, only a little Zhu dared to complain. Receiving a name bestowed by the emperor was an honor; it was difficult for others to even become a 'Qilin'.

This is one of the reasons why Old Zhu is proud; the names of his descendants all follow certain rules.

Once the only one among Zhu's descendants who didn't follow the rules, Xiao Zhu has now started to follow them. Otherwise, some people would doubt that Xiao Zhu is Zhu's eldest grandson and think that 'Zhu Xiong Ying' doesn't exist.

After washing his hands and changing into his everyday clothes, Little Zhu ran over and said, "Dad, you mustn't let the outside world be defeated. If you defeat them all, we won't have any land left to fight. We still have our royal uncles and brothers, and we need to have offspring too. We don't want them to be left without land to grant them fiefdoms."

Old Zhu laughed heartily, saying, "This is a case of the student surpassing the teacher."

Back then, he faced considerable pressure when he conferred titles upon princes within the Ming Dynasty, which resulted in many people being unhappy, including his favorite eldest grandson.

But now his grandsons and great-grandsons are not only concerned with the small plot of land within the Ming Dynasty, but also with the land surrounding the Ming Dynasty.

“We can’t fight them all, but we can enfeoff a few countries, and that’s about it.” Zhu Yunying laughed and said to Little Zhu, “The world outside is vast. As long as we are all ambitious, we won’t be afraid of running out of land.”

The outside world is indeed very large, which naturally means that if one's descendants are capable, they really don't need to stay within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Little Zhu handed the chopsticks to Old Zhu and said, "Great-grandfather, hurry up and eat, we're all hungry."

Don't let Xiao Zhu's carefree nature fool you; many rules don't apply to him. But whether it's Xiao Zhu or Xiao Xiao Zhu, when it comes to rules, they are extremely disciplined.

Old Zhu smiled and picked up a piece of duck meat, and Little Zhu and Little Little Zhu immediately started eating as well.

“Great-grandfather, we want to eat venison and deer jerky tomorrow.” Little Zhu continued while eating duck skin. “We also want to eat bird’s nest, and another camel hump, some cuttlefish eggs, elk nose, and mushroom stewed chicken. We want a chef from Yangzhou.”

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, "Absolutely no problem! My great-grandson loves to eat, so he can have anything he wants, and nothing will be wasted!"
