Zhu Yunwen was somewhat afraid of his grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang. One thing he greatly admired about his elder brother was that, in the entire Ming Dynasty, his elder brother was probably the only one who wasn't afraid of his grandfather.

Upon arriving at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunwen immediately knelt down, saying, "Your subject Zhu Yunwen greets Your Majesty, my imperial grandfather."

Old Zhu smiled and said, "I remember not seeing you for about two months. You've gained quite a bit of weight. That's good. It's good to look more prosperous, unlike your elder brother, the Emperor."

Zhu Yunying has gained a little weight, his face is quite chubby now. But this definitely fits Old Zhu's aesthetic; in Old Zhu's eyes, a plump appearance is a sign of good fortune. If Zhu Yunying hadn't been constantly dragging little Zhu to exercise, Old Zhu probably would have raised little Zhu to be a chubby boy.

Zhu Yunwen quickly said, "I don't know why, but I've become a bit more plump. I suppose it's all thanks to Your Majesty. With Your Majesty governing the country and the Ming Dynasty enjoying peace, we've been eating and drinking well, and that's how I've become so plump."

Old Zhu pointed at Zhu Yunwen with a smile and said, "No wonder you are so popular with the emperor. Everyone says you are naive. But if you ask me, you should save your cunning for your elder brother."

Looking at the grinning Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunying said irritably, "He spends all his time eating, drinking and having fun without a care in the world. If he doesn't become well-off, then there's no justice in the world. I remember he was fine before, but now his face is getting round."

Old Zhu quickly interrupted, afraid that his precious grandson would spout a bunch of nonsense again, "You came to the palace today to request an audience, is there something you need?"

Zhu Yunwen immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have discovered a large quantity of vegetable oil in the South Seas, which can supply the people of the Great Ming Dynasty. The people of the Great Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about oil!"

Has the dissolute and dissolute Prince Zhu Yunwen of Wu discovered an auspicious omen?!
