"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty the Empress."

"Sister."

Xu Miaoqing found it somewhat amusing and said, "Second brother, are you being so formal with your sister-in-law?"

"How dare you come to the palace?" Zhu Yue grabbed Zhu Yunwen's ear and said irritably, "We usually turn a blind eye to you using the Emperor's name as an excuse. But last time, you went and competed with Second Uncle's family for a courtesan, saying that the Emperor loved listening to the zither the most? Tell me, does the Emperor really like listening to the zither?"

“Then we can’t just say that my brother likes eating fruit the most, can we?” Zhu Yunwen immediately retorted, but his voice lacked conviction. “What can we do if my brother doesn’t like listening to music or watching plays? Besides, everyone outside knows that my brother is a man of great literary talent. Now everyone says that my brother likes to listen to elegant music. That’s what a romantic and talented man is like. That’s how it is in plays!”

Xu Miaoqing and Zhu Yue were speechless for a moment. They really didn't know what to say at this moment, so they decided to say nothing.

These matters should be left to His Majesty the Emperor to decide. It's estimated that only His Majesty the Emperor can control this rascal Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen was still somewhat unwilling and said, "The lyrics that my brother wrote for the Lantern Festival have already been sung outside. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to the pleasure boat. We were preparing to have someone arrange the music and have someone sing it properly so that people can know my brother's literary talent."

Xu Miaoqing smiled and reminded him, "Second brother, you only need to know who wrote that poem. Don't spread this around. Your brother in court won't acknowledge this."

"So what if he doesn't admit it? Who outside doesn't know that it was written by my elder brother?" Zhu Yunwen said irritably. "Is it someone ordinary people would dare to write my elder brother's name? Besides, we know that my niece Ruyi wrote the poem, and it seems that my nephew even put his fingerprint on it. Just like us, no one else should take advantage of our family."

The emperor denied writing the lyrics, but the princess subtly mentioned the author's name. Although the surname wasn't mentioned, the crown prince's fingerprint was the best proof. The Zhu family can only take advantage of others; no one can take advantage of the imperial family!
