Zhu Yue then whispered, "Brother, we've already had two children, so we know what's going on. Brother, we've thought about it too. If we don't go, the women of the imperial family and the women of noble families will have some complaints."

"What complaints are you making!" Zhu Yunying said domineeringly, "Are we such heartless people? Do you think we should let pregnant women, those with young children, or those who are elderly or in poor health travel with us?"

After saying this, Zhu Yunying looked at Madam Sang and said, "You and Yunhu will be more obedient on your trip to Beiping. You will only be staying in Beiping for two years. Once everything is settled, we will go there. Your elder sister is in Yingtian Prefecture. You two should take care of each other."

Lady Sang immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I accept the decree."

Seeing that Zhu Yue still wanted to say something, Zhu Yunying said, "These matters are settled then. We're not going to discuss this with you any further. You are doing this, and so are everyone else. Moving the capital is a major event, and many people are watching you and Yunying. However, these matters aren't so heartless. Can we really ignore everyone's difficulties?"

Since Zhu Yunying had said so, Zhu Yue naturally understood that she really had no room for argument on these matters. Her elder brother had made a decision, so she should just obediently listen and not think about anything else.

Although Zhu Yunwen was somewhat unaccustomed to it, he had been used to having someone take care of him since childhood. Especially his elder brother or sister, there was always someone by his side, always someone looking after him.

But this time, he'll likely be going to Beiping alone, which makes him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Even if he wasn't used to it, Zhu Yunwen could only accept these things calmly. After all, he was no longer a child, and he had his own family. He was no longer the spoiled and unruly grandson of the emperor he once was.

Moreover, being used to being taken care of doesn't mean everything is a given. His elder sister is currently pregnant and it's indeed not good for her to overwork or travel. Even though he has always been seen as a child who never grew up and needs to be cared for by his elder brother and sister, he sometimes wants to take care of them and share their burdens.

Therefore, he could handle many things on his own, and Zhu Yunwen did not think there was anything wrong with that.

He was still the Prince of Wu of the Ming Dynasty, and no one dared to provoke him. He was never short of servants.

Looking around, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but laugh. "When Yunhu established his own residence, I remember this place looked alright. He wasn't good at managing a household back then. He would go to the palace every few days to beg for money, and his uncles had to help him out. It was a complete mess."

Feng Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Back then, we couldn't figure out where all that money went. The imperial family's offerings were quite substantial, and my brother also gave us a lot of money. How could he possibly spend it all without knowing why?"

“Things were different back then. Back then, we were just a Prince of the Second Rank, not a Prince of the First Rank.” Zhu Yunwen said without any embarrassment, “We went to restaurants and held banquets a few times, and the money was almost gone. We didn’t go to gambling dens. Now that I think about it, I don’t even know where the money went.”

Sang was actually quite confused; there were many things she didn't understand. The Prince's manor's expenses were indeed high. Of course, the manor's income was also very substantial. It was only the Prince's concubine who was competent; being from a merchant family, she not only managed the accounts but also thoroughly audited them and disciplined a number of the manor's stewards.

These methods do have some effect, and they do indeed have some function.

"Brother, let's go eat duck!" Fat Zhu Wengeng ran off, his face trembling. "And there's lychee pork. We won't eat pork, we'll just eat water chestnuts."

Lychee pork doesn't actually use lychees; it uses water chestnuts, which resemble lychees. These water chestnuts, when cooked, look just like lychees. So, sometimes the naming of Chinese dishes is truly baffling, completely impossible to figure out.

Looking at Zhu Wengeng, Zhu Yunying said, "Keep an eye on that child, he's gotten a bit chubby, that's not a good thing."

Zhu Yue said matter-of-factly, "Wengeng is very good. He looks chubby and lucky. When my grandfather was alive, he liked to look at Wengeng and said that Wengeng looked like he had good fortune."

That's true. Old Zhu has always liked chubby children. He's always very happy to see his chubby son and grandson.

Zhu Yunying couldn't help but laugh. Actually, he also liked chubby children now. Zhu Wengeng was chubby and looked funny, and his second son, Zhu Wenjin, was also very cute.

Of course, Joo Yoon-young also knew that it wasn't necessarily a good thing for children to be chubby from a young age, so sometimes he hoped that these chubby children would lose weight and control their weight a little.

However, judging from the current situation, the effect is indeed very average, because in this day and age, many people believe that chubby children are a sign of good fortune. Even Zhu Yunying sometimes can't help but pinch the chubby faces and bellies of chubby children, which is a very pleasant experience.

Zhu Yunying was in a good mood and naturally sat in the main seat, saying, "Don't say anything, come and sit down. We're all family, so don't be shy. Those kids, come over too, it's so lively with all that chatter."

There's really no need to talk about too much; it's just a family dinner, a gathering of siblings. Especially considering the upcoming relocation of the capital, it will be even harder for the siblings to get together again.

Speaking of which, Zhu Xi has been living in Yunnan all this time, making it even more difficult for the four siblings to reunite. From now on, the four siblings will be scattered in three different places, truly living in opposite corners of the country.
