At the Duke of Kaiguo's residence, Duke Changsheng was all smiles.
Zhu Yunwen was in the kitchen with his two uncles and two aunts.
After dismissing all the servants, Zhu Yunwen took the initiative to cook a few dishes.
Then everyone sat down at the table and started chatting and laughing.
Chang Sheng took a bite of the food and immediately nodded, saying:
"Hmm, I didn't expect Yuntong to have this skill. He can even cook. This tastes really good."
Chang Sen also quickly took a bite and praised it highly.
Zhu Yunwen thought to himself that if he had enough seasonings and ingredients, he could have made even more delicious dishes.
However, the Ming Dynasty already possessed a considerable number of seasonings.
The ingredients are quite plentiful, and the dishes made are actually quite decent.
As everyone ate and chatted, Chang Sheng and Chang Peng's children, upon learning that Zhu Yunwen had arrived, also came over to pay their respects.
They were all in their late teens or early twenties, which meant they were roughly the same age as Zhu Yunwen, so they could chat together.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
With everyone sitting together, there was finally some family atmosphere.
At this point, Chang Sheng, having grown bolder, took the initiative to say to Zhu Yunwen:
“Yun-Teng, your great-uncle has talked to us quite a bit before, and we know about some of your thoughts. I am also your uncle, and we will definitely give our full support to whatever you want to do.”
Chang Sen also said, "That's right, your second uncle is absolutely right. We're all family. As long as you want to do it and dare to do it, our Chang family and your great-uncle Lan Yu will definitely be your strongest support."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:
"In that case, I would like to thank my second and third uncles in advance. I am sure that I will be troubling you in many ways. I hope that you will not find me, your nephew, troublesome."
The Chang brothers immediately laughed and waved their hands, saying:
"We're family, so let's not speak like strangers."
Having said all that, everyone has essentially laid their cards on the table.
Zhu Yunwen also knew that his maternal uncles and great-uncles on his mother's side of the family were absolutely trustworthy.
Because they certainly hoped that Zhu Yunwen could recover.
Because Zhu Yunwen was doing well, his relatives by marriage were also able to do well.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, and having a long chat, Zhu Yunwen did not linger and returned to the palace.
After returning, he went directly to the East Palace, packed his things quickly, and then took his two younger sisters to the Shaoyang Palace next to Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeping quarters.
As she left the Eastern Palace, Lady Lü looked at Zhu Yunwen with a gloomy expression.
Zhu Yunwen had only taken a few steps when, as if remembering something, he turned to look at Lady Lü and said:
"I have a piece of advice for you and your son: don't provoke me too much, or you won't benefit from it. It's most important to leave yourself a way out for the future."
Lady Lü snorted and sneered:
"Don't think that just because you left the Eastern Palace and were granted the title of Prince of Wu by His Majesty, you can be arrogant. Since ancient times, the crown prince has always lived in the Eastern Palace. Now that you've been granted a title and even left the Eastern Palace to live elsewhere, do you think you still have a chance?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:
"You and your son are just like each other, always watching other people's faces, hoping to get handouts, but you'll never know what I'm thinking. That's what you call a narrow-minded person!!"
After saying this, Zhu Yunwen turned and left with a disdainful look on his face.
Lady Lü was left standing there, puzzled.
Of course, she didn't understand what Zhu Yuntong meant by those words.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure it out.
For the best, we just assumed that Zhu Yunwen was talking nonsense.
Zhu Yuntong, accompanied by his two younger sisters, soon arrived at Shaoyang Palace, which was next to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom.
Shaoyang Palace has always been empty, with hardly anyone living there.
It is said that when Zhu Biao was still alive, he often discussed state affairs with Zhu Yuanzhang until late at night, and then rested for the night in the nearby Shaoyang Palace.
Now that Zhu Yunwen has arrived at Shaoyang Palace, he finds himself facing a grand hall. Although the hall is not very large, it is still quite impressive.
There is a study next door and a bedroom behind it.
Zhu Yunwen let his two younger sisters choose a bedroom for themselves, while he wandered around the study.
The study was filled with books, including not only classical texts and books on governance.
This shows that Crown Prince Zhu Biao truly loved reading and studying these things during his lifetime.
Take a deep breath and inhale the fragrance of books in the study.
This made him inexplicably somewhat intoxicated.
He then sat behind the desk, vaguely sensing the presence of the most powerful crown prince of the Ming Dynasty still lingering there.
In a daze, images of him reading and handling affairs here flashed through my mind.
This made him sigh:
"As expected of the strongest crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, his magnanimity, kindness, tough methods, and terrifying political abilities are absolutely frightening."
If I could become someone like him, let alone rebelling, it wouldn't be impossible for me to make the Ming Dynasty even stronger and achieve great prosperity.
After sighing, he sat down, picked up a few books from the desk, and began to study them carefully.
To control the world, sit in that high position, and become an excellent ruler, one must possess sufficient talent and ability, rather than merely relying on the sense of superiority and opportunistic cleverness that some transmigrators carry.
He spent the entire afternoon in the study carefully reading.
