"His Highness rode a horse this afternoon, and the Emperor Emeritus even ordered the palace guards to practice in the drill ground," Wang Chengen quickly said. "They said it was a cavalry duel, but I don't understand it. I just heard from the servants that it was interesting and the fighting was fierce."
Zhu Yunying pointed at Wang Chengen, somewhat exasperated, "You're such a disappointment. We put you in charge of the Eastern Depot. Tell me, what have you actually done with the Eastern Depot?"
"It is my duty to serve Your Majesty well," Wang Chengen said with a fawning smile. "I am also keeping an eye on the affairs of the Eastern Depot. Jiang Huan is in charge of the Eastern Depot's affairs, so I just need to keep an eye on him."
Jiang Huan, that unlucky fellow, should have been the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but unfortunately, Zhu Biao died young, rendering the position of commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard under Zhu Biao useless.

In fact, Zhu Yunying was quite aware of Old Zhu's thoughts. With current medical conditions, some children don't survive long enough to grow up, which is why many elders are hesitant to show much affection to newborns.
However, it was time to go and see her. Zhu Yunying did feel that he should go and see Lady Wang and his second son.
Lady Wang was clearly quite excited about Zhu Yunying's arrival. Since giving birth to the prince, she had been in postpartum confinement and had rarely seen Zhu Yunying. She also knew that the emperor rarely visited his offspring.
Now, things have finally turned around. Although she doesn't dare compete with the Empress for the Emperor's favor, after giving birth to a prince, she can compete with the Imperial Noble Consort!
