Ultimately, even though Lady Sang was considered wealthy and powerful, and even though some people saw her as a shrew, someone with long hair and short brains, she was still a mother and cared about her own child. Even if her child would become the Prince of Wu, she would still need to please the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

Zhu Yue was also happy and said, "Then we should write a letter to our eldest sister to make everyone happy. We are younger and don't understand many things. Our eldest sister used to take care of us."

That's an exaggeration, really. Zhu Yue is only one year older than Zhu Yunying, and Zhu Xi is only two years older than Zhu Yunying. If Zhu Yunying hadn't been precocious, this older brother, who is three years older than Zhu Yunying, might not have been able to take such good care of his younger siblings.

Chang Zhou was bolder and her status was more appropriate. "Your Majesty the Empress, His Highness Prince Wu has made such a great contribution. You may send His Highness Prince Wu to Dongling."

Xu Miaoqing immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "That makes sense. It's only right that Mother is happy to see the Second Prince so accomplished. His Majesty also said years ago that the Second Prince was the one Mother was most worried about before she passed away."

This is what it means for a family to prosper. This whole family, with all the brothers and sisters being very successful and achieving great things, naturally makes it the right thing to share the good news now.

These things are all worth showing off. It's not just about highlighting the Chang family's status and position, but also about reiterating Zhu Yunying's legitimacy. Some things may seem perfectly legitimate from the start, but they still need to be constantly emphasized.

After all, in some people's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang never actually sat on the throne, and he had other sons.

A harmonious family brings prosperity; such a family is definitely desirable!
