Holding Zhu Wenkun, Zhu Yunying said, "When our mother passed away years ago, we were young, but we could remember things. People outside said we were precocious, and we don't deny it. As for the second child, he can't remember anything yet; he's still an infant. In theory, our grandmother should have taken him in, but we still let Madam Lü take care of him, just because of our different statuses."
Xu Miaoqing naturally understood that it was reasonable for Lady Lü to take care of Zhu Yunwen. Putting aside the fact that Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunying were of similar age, the most important thing was that Zhu Yunwen was, after all, the legitimate son. If Empress Ma had taken care of Zhu Yunwen back then, it would have been for two reasons: firstly, to prevent Zhu Yunying from overthinking, and secondly, to prevent Zhu Yunwen from having other thoughts as he grew older.
As it turned out, Zhu Yunwen had no interest in such things at all; from a very young age, he was only interested in playing. As a child, he kept dogs and skipped school; as an adult, he indulged in womanizing and horseback riding—no ordinary playboy was like him.
Xu Miaoqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I know what I'm doing, there won't be any unpleasant things."
Zhu Yunying sighed and said, "It's easier said than done. Even when our position was so secure in the past, Lady Lü still had her own thoughts and ideas. Even Yunwen, though he always tried to hide them, how many people couldn't see through his thoughts and ideas? That was the dragon throne, after all; which prince didn't have his own thoughts and ideas?"
That's a fact; the princes all had their own ideas, and they certainly coveted the dragon throne. However, some princes knew very well that they had little chance, so they all kept to themselves.
Even in the Ming Dynasty, although the rule of establishing the eldest son of the legitimate wife seems to be established now, the other princes also understand that they have almost no chance. However, when the night is quiet and no one is around, they may still have some longing for that position.
That's a fact, after all, it's the supreme dragon throne, the pinnacle of power!
