"That little rascal has improved a bit," Old Zhu said with a smile. "We were always afraid that kid would do more harm than good, but who would have thought he could actually do something. Now we can rest easy."

"Yun-tong is a bit playful, but otherwise he's fine," Zhu Yun-ying said with a smile. "As long as you don't assign him any official duties, he can do anything well. If we're talking about enjoying life, he's the real expert. If you ask us, out of our four generations, he's the most fortunate. Even Fifth Uncle can't compare to him."

Old Zhu nodded with a smile. His fifth son was also fortunate, but the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in its earlier years was not as solid as it is now. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he was not as fortunate as a prince like Zhu Yunwen in a prosperous era.

Little Zhu suddenly remembered something and said, "Great-grandfather, our Wenkun will be blessed in the future. Just a few days ago, we saw him sitting on the couch, constantly tugging at his little bird!"

Looking at little Zhu, Zhu Yunying said, "Don't laugh at him. You were like that when you were little, and we couldn't stop you. You always laugh at Wenkun for peeing in his sleep, as if you weren't like that before!"

Little Zhu objected, saying, "I'm not like that! I'm not like Wenkun! I'm the smartest, and I don't wet the bed!"

Patting little Zhu's head, Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying and said, "If we suffer a little and put in some effort, the rest of our family can live a carefree life. If Ying'er is tired, Yunying and the others can eat and drink well."

Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile. This was probably the meaning of hard work. At most, Zhu Yunying was the emperor, and his efforts were not only to ensure that his own family was well-fed and clothed, but also to make the people of the Ming Dynasty live a better life.

It might be a little tiring, but the sense of accomplishment made it all worthwhile for Joo Yoon-young!
