“We asked, but Laifu and Jiaxi don’t know either. Even if they did, they wouldn’t dare to say.” Little Zhu said while struggling. “Our father is so powerful. None of the people around you would dare to tell us everything in private. Last time, our great-grandfather complained to us that the people around you are just like Wang Chengen. They don’t tell our great-grandfather many things.”
Zhu Yunying's feelings were now complicated. It was a good thing that the people around him were so discreet. Of course, this was also a quality they should have—knowing what they could say and what they couldn't.
But these people are too tight-lipped, which doesn't seem to be entirely a good thing.
“Your second uncle has two more children,” Zhu Yunying said without hiding anything. “Geng’er will be here soon, and we’ll take you to tell your grandmother. She’ll be happy to know.”
Zhu Yunwen stood there grinning foolishly. In reality, he had very little impression of Lady Chang, or rather, he had no impression at all. However, he had heard some things, such as that Lady Chang died in childbirth because of a difficult delivery, or that this was the reason why she was not favored by the Great Zhu back then, and so on.
Looking at Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunying said with considerable pride, "Years ago, we promised Mother we would take good care of you. Before she passed away, she was worried about you, Xi'er, and Yue'er, and asked us to take good care of you. I'll tell her here first, and tomorrow you take Geng'er to the mausoleum. Also, please apologize for us; we've been the ones who haven't been to the mausoleum much over the years."
Zhu Yunwen nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother, Mother will definitely not blame you. Besides, you are the emperor. If you leave the palace, it will be terrible. Tomorrow, we will not only go by ourselves, but we will also take our sister with us, along with our family's Qilin."
Little Zhu's eyes darted around, and she immediately said, "Then let's go too. We'll be able to leave the palace again in a few days. Let's go and tell Great-Grandfather. He'll definitely be happy for us to go to Grandfather and Grandmother's tombs. Let's also go to Great-Grandmother's. Great-Grandfather will definitely agree to let us then."
Well, when it comes to acting cute and charming, Little Zhu is the best. Even the wise and mighty Hongwu Emperor could never handle Little Zhu.
