Emperor Ying Shi was very displeased, a fact that many could see, and many now understood that he might be about to take drastic measures. As for Huang Zicheng, such a useless teammate, he was actually not a big deal; his foolish remarks at most only slightly provoked Emperor Ying Shi.
Everyone understands that once Emperor Ying Shi makes up his mind, it is very difficult for ordinary people to change his mind.
Zhu Yunying was in a fairly good mood after the court session. There seemed to be a few minor issues, but everything was still under his control, which was enough for him.
He was an impatient person, and many things needed to be done immediately. However, Zhu Yunying also knew very well that some things he had to do couldn't be rushed. As long as he had enough patience and everything went smoothly, that would be fine.
Ultimately, it means that many things absolutely cannot be out of Joo Yoon-young's control, which can be considered his bottom line.
Wang Chengen, standing beside Zhu Yunying, said with a beaming smile, "Your Majesty, Chunhe Palace said that Her Majesty the Empress and the Third Prince are both safe and sound. If Your Majesty wishes to go, you may do so now."
It's somewhat ironic, really. Zhu Yunying's third son was born over half a month ago, but Zhu Yunying hasn't seen him yet. His wife, who is currently in postpartum confinement, also hasn't seen him during this time.
Now that Xu Miaoqing is doing well, Zhu Yunying naturally wants to go and check on her. To be honest, Zhu Yunying still misses his wife and third son and really wants to see them.
In a good mood, Zhu Yunying immediately headed towards the East Palace, but he couldn't help but want to complain. It seems that 'living in a great palace is not easy'; even the emperor has these kinds of troubles.
If a new palace wasn't built, Emperor Zhu would certainly not have moved out of the Qianqing Palace. Therefore, Emperor Zhu Yunying's actual residence would have been the Eastern Palace, which was also the true residence of the Crown Prince and Grandson.
Building a palace now is clearly not cost-effective. The relocation of the capital is proceeding smoothly, and the imperial city of Yingtian Prefecture only needs maintenance. There is no need to build another imperial city here. Everyone knows that continuing to build palaces at this time would be a waste of resources and manpower, and is extremely uneconomical.
Moreover, given Zhu's age, no one knows if any unspeakable things might happen during the construction of the palace.
Furthermore, Zhu Yunying understood that even if a new palace was built, Zhu Yunying would definitely not move there. It wasn't that she was worried about wasting resources or causing hardship to the people; Zhu Yunying simply couldn't bear to be separated from her grandson and great-grandson, and she had no intention of letting Zhu Yunying go to the new palace alone.
For Zhu Yunying, grandeur and opulence were not of paramount importance. What mattered most was his need for companionship, a fact Zhu Yunying was acutely aware of. Therefore, the Qianqing Palace was something Zhu Yunying would consider only after the capital was moved to Beiping.
Upon arriving at Chunhe Palace, Zhu Yunying asked with a smile, "Are the Empress and the Prince well?"
The female official guarding outside the palace said, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress is well. His Highness the Third Prince is also in good health and has been in good health these days."
Zhu Yunying smiled and nodded, then issued an edict: "Those of you who have served the Empress and the princes well will all be rewarded."
Zhu Yunying was quite generous, which could be considered part of his way of managing his subordinates. He would often give rewards to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, especially when a prince or princess was born.
There was no need for universal celebration or a general amnesty, but for Zhu Yunying, it was quite necessary to have some small favors in the palace.
Pushing open the palace door, you'll find that the room doesn't smell good when a woman is in postpartum confinement, especially now that it's summer, the lack of ventilation makes the smell even worse.
Zhu Yunying didn't say much. Many people consider postpartum confinement a bad custom, and some even say that Western women don't observe it. However, there are differences in the physiological structure of different races, which must be acknowledged. What Westerners take for granted may not be entirely acceptable to Easterners.
Therefore, Zhu Yunying never objected to things like postpartum care, and he genuinely believed that there was some truth to it. Naturally, if the conditions allowed, these things should be done properly.
Upon seeing Zhu Yunying, Xu Miaoqing, with a ribbon tied around her forehead, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
"Where's our son?" Zhu Yunying smiled and looked around before saying to Xu Miaoqing, "Let's not stand on ceremony, let's bring our son over to see. I've heard he's the biggest eater and pooper."
Xu Miaoqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty's arrival is unfortunate; the prince has just fallen asleep. The prince not only eats and poops a lot, but he also loves to fuss. If there weren't someone to serve him, I'm afraid I would have been quite exhausted."
Xu Miaoqing naturally didn't need to take care of the child herself; palace maids, wet nurses, or governesses could all help her. However, even so, the child was still her own, and she would certainly care about and cherish it very much.
Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Then it seems we can only wait a little longer. To be honest, our son is somewhat similar to his elder brother. When our eldest son was young, he could cry and sleep at the same time."
Xu Miaoqing also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my son and Yin'er look quite alike. In my opinion, the two brothers are indeed identical, except that my son's chin resembles Your Majesty's."
Zhu Yunying was speechless and said irritably, "Empress, please don't try to comfort me. I've figured it out. None of my sons look like me. Otherwise, why would I like Ruyi so much? She's the only one among my children whose features resemble mine."
