Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "Wenkun is a bit well-behaved, but he doesn't like to sleep at night. He's quite well-behaved during the day."

Zhu Yunying was about to retract his earlier comment; if a child was crying at night, most people really couldn't handle it. Luckily, he didn't have to take care of a baby himself, otherwise he would definitely have collapsed.

Just as the atmosphere in Chunhe Palace was warm and cozy, footsteps approached. Without a doubt, it was little Zhu, who was a bit impatient. Even as a child, when he was unsteady on his feet, he loved to run. He's the same now; he might be walking normally, but then suddenly he'll break into a trot.

Looking at his eldest son, whose forehead was covered in sweat, Zhu Yunying said irritably, "You've completely abandoned the proper etiquette of our imperial family."

Little Zhu didn't care. He was very confident. "Father and Great-Grandfather both said that we have the best manners. We don't put on airs in front of our own family, but outsiders all say that we have the demeanor of a nobleman!"

That's true, but Zhu Yunying would never admit it in front of Little Zhu, lest the child get cocky. Little Zhu's personality is indeed a bit prone to getting arrogant, so it's necessary to discipline him when necessary.

Zhu Wenkun, who had just been very close to Zhu Yunying, had completely forgotten about his father, the Emperor. He happily got up and toddled around on his short legs, calling out, "Brother Emperor."

"Go away, we won't hug you." Little Zhu immediately complained. "Great-grandfather said that Third Uncle should go back and close his mansion. He ordered Lady Lü to guard the mausoleum because she failed to raise her son properly."

Zhu Yunying immediately understood. Old Zhu was always strict with outsiders, regardless of whether they were sons-in-law or daughters-in-law; he was ruthless in punishing them. Even when it was often a member of the Zhu family who made a mistake, it was actually the outsider who was punished.

Zhu Yunying nodded and said, "I know, but it's not easy for us to deal with Lady Lü. Since the Emperor has given the decree, then this matter will be left as it is."

Zhu Wenkun grabbed Little Zhu's leg and looked up at him with his chubby face in a childish voice, "Royal brother."

"We don't have time to play with you. You can't run fast and you can't speak properly!" Little Zhu said disdainfully, shoving his younger brother with his hands. "We're not talking to you anymore. We're going to report back to the emperor."

Zhu Wenkun burst into tears when his older brother ran away. He seemed very sad and aggrieved, but the next time he saw his brother, he would try to get closer to him.

So there's nothing to feel sorry about!
