Just after finishing dealing with state affairs, Shuangquan arrived, saying that Old Zhu had something to discuss with Zhu Yunying.

Zhu Yunying wasn't surprised; he figured he might as well go to the Qianqing Palace. It probably wasn't anything serious; maybe Old Zhu just missed his grandson and found a dubious reason to send Zhu Yunying to the Qianqing Palace.

Upon arriving at the Qianqing Palace, Old Zhu said cheerfully, "Your fifth uncle has stirred up some trouble again, has he caused you any trouble?"

Zhu Yunying didn't mind and said with a smile, "It's alright. Xu Maoxian is not Xu Qin after all, so it's no big deal. Fifth Uncle is still sensible. He just keeps an eye on Xu Maoxian and doesn't want to drag Xu Qin away."

Xu Qin, the eldest son of Xu Huizu, is about to be conferred the title of heir to the Duke of Zhongshan. He will be the third Duke of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be a leading figure in the new generation of military merit in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at little Zhu sitting to one side with his puffed-up cheeks, Zhu Yunying chuckled, "Is this kid angry now?"

Old Zhu chuckled and said, "He's annoyed. He was showing off in front of us, but after we analyzed him, he realized he'd been tricked by the Fifth Prince, and now he's angry and silent."

“It’s a good thing for you. This little guy has had it too easy. It’s not a bad thing for him to suffer a little.” Zhu Yunying seemed quite willing to give his son some lessons in adversity. He said, “How many times have we told you that the emperor should think twice before acting? He made a decision on a whim, and now he can only sulk.”

Old Zhu and Little Zhu didn't try to hide it from Little Zhu, which made Little Zhu even more frustrated. He could only angrily turn around, turning his back to his great-grandfather and father to express his dissatisfaction.

Old Zhu didn't mind and was in a good mood. "Let's have a drink. Why don't you stay and have a meal too?"

Zhu Yunying looked at them and smiled broadly, "Alright, these are all our favorite foods, let's eat here."

Little Zhu immediately shouted, "Shuangquan, hurry up and fetch water, we need to wash our hands before we eat!"

You can be angry, but you can't let your stomach suffer!
