In the seventh year of Hongwu, the legitimate eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born.
He who resides as the legitimate heir will surely ascend to t...
As an emperor, Zhu Yunying was relatively worry-free, at least because he didn't have to worry too much about family matters.
Because of his birth, he never worried about being overthrown; he only wanted to grow up healthy and didn't need to worry about the throne being taken by others. Not to mention his younger brother, even his uncle couldn't compete with him.
Putting everything else aside, this one point alone is something countless princes and grandsons would envy. It's not just something to envy, but a privilege almost unimaginable, something that can only be realized in dreams.
But for Zhu Yunying, this was nothing strange; it seemed perfectly natural. Simply because he was the eldest grandson of the Hongwu Emperor, that alone was enough to explain everything.
There was no need to worry about the throne, and his younger siblings were generally well-behaved. All of this made Zhu Yunying feel proud and happy; for him, these were great things.
After all, in the royal family, some things are just that simple; the imperial family is indeed somewhat 'unfeeling'.
Zhu Yunying was well aware of these matters, and they were mostly true. Compared to most emperors, he had much less to worry about.
Whether it's what happened before he ascended the throne or his life now, it's all the same. These can be considered blessings, and these are actually rules that Old Zhu established from the beginning, preventing some tragedies in the Zhu family.
Zhu Yunying followed suit, which meant that the young Zhu didn't need to worry about certain things. As the crown prince, he didn't need to worry about his younger brother vying for the throne; he understood from a very young age that the Ming Dynasty would eventually belong to him.
Therefore, one can be somewhat unrestrained, somewhat confident and flamboyant, and need not worry about being suspected.
Zhu Yunying was in a good mood because, based on reports from various sources, Little Zhu's arrangements were very well done. Although there were a few minor flaws, most things were satisfactory.
There are basically no problems, which is progress, and that's what makes Xiao Xiao Zhu so satisfying. With a little more growth and experience, Xiao Xiao Zhu will naturally be able to do even better in these matters.
Not only was Zhu Yunying satisfied, but Xu Miaoqing was also very satisfied and proud. Her son wasn't just acting recklessly because of his favored status; he did indeed have some ability, and was a promising and excellent crown prince.
It seems like things are going according to Little Zhu's plan. This little guy seems to know a lot about things. Just following the rules and regulations is fine; that way, there's no need to worry about any oversights.
Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, sitting smiling on the imperial carriage, happily preparing to leave the palace. These were the facts; all he needed to do now was peacefully prepare for his journey to the Prince of Wu's residence, and that was enough.
There's no need to worry about so many things, not only because of Xiao Zhu's arrangements, but also because there are many guards around, etc.
So there's really nothing to worry about, and everything can be taken with a clear conscience. There's no need to worry about big or small things, or things that haven't happened yet, otherwise you'll just be adding to your own troubles.
Zhu Yunying and others were already waiting outside the Prince of Wu's residence. Upon seeing Zhu Yunying's carriage, they immediately bowed.
Zhu Yunying laughed and raised his hand, "We're all family, so there's no need to be so polite. Young ones, come here to your imperial uncle so that your eldest uncle can take a good look at you."
Feng Qi and Feng Lin were somewhat close, but also a little cautious. They knew their eldest uncle liked them, but they preferred their youngest uncle. They often joined in his antics, and their youngest uncle never acted like an elder in their presence. Of course, their youngest uncle often got scolded along with them.
Zhu Wengeng wasn't afraid of Zhu Yunying at all; he was just trying to avoid his uncle. As for Zhu Wentang, he was somewhat unfamiliar with his imperial uncle and dared not act recklessly in front of him like his elder brother, so he behaved himself.
It was probably because his mother was just the daughter of a merchant, and it was already a stroke of luck that she was able to enter the royal palace, so she really needed to be more humble.
"Take your younger siblings over there." Patting little Zhu's head, Zhu Yunying said irritably, "You're more carefree here than in the palace. You're either pestering your second uncle or asking your second aunt for good food and drink."
Little Zhu immediately led her younger siblings away. There was nothing to worry about in the Prince's mansion, as everyone was familiar with this area. Little Zhu had been here several times, Zhu Wengeng had grown up here, and Qilin had played here quite often.
Seeing the children making a ruckus, Zhu Yunying began to complain to Feng Yue, "Tell me, you didn't tell us about such a big thing as being pregnant? If the capital is moved, are you going to join in all this nonsense?"
Zhu Yue was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Brother, it hasn't been three months yet, so it's not appropriate to say this everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunying was instantly amused and annoyed. "If your sister-in-law hadn't sent the people from the Imperial Hospital, she probably wouldn't have known. Yunhu knows, so why can't we? That brat has been a troublemaker since he was little. We're the ones who have to take care of him. Do you think he's better at taking care of people than we are?"
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile, "Brother, we've grown up and can take care of people now. Your sister is just worried that you'll be distracted. You still have to take care of state affairs, so please don't worry about these things."
