Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and dared not speak, which relieved Zhu Yunwen. Being confined to his residence to reflect on his mistakes was nothing serious. Once the gates of the Prince's mansion were closed, he could still drink and enjoy singing and dancing as usual. The only thing he couldn't do was go to brothels and pleasure boats, and couldn't take courtesans boating.
Zhu Yunying, too lazy to make things difficult for Zhu Yunwen, said, "Tomorrow, when you go to court, submit a memorial of apology. I hereby order you to stay at home for three months to properly study the classics. What do you think?"
Zhu Yunwen immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great favor!"
Zhu Yunying chuckled, then said irritably, "Now you're all smarter? When you submit your memorial tomorrow, remember this: those matters have nothing to do with you. You were just misled by others! Otherwise, even if I wanted to protect you, the laws of the court cannot let you off lightly!"
Zhu Yunwen responded without hesitation that rather than suffer misfortune and be severely punished himself, it would be better to push others out, or simply extricate himself from the situation. What happened to others was none of his concern.
Just then, Wang Chengen whispered, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is requesting an audience outside the palace."
Zhu Yunying glanced at Zhu Yunwen and said with amusement, "Get up and go with the Crown Prince to the Qianqing Palace to pay your respects. You're already so old, why do you still need your grandfather to worry about you!"
Looking at Zhu Yunying standing beside him, Zhu Yunying said, "You should go over there too. None of them are easy to deal with."
Zhu Yunwen felt he was the most wronged; he had behaved well during this period and hadn't made any mistakes. It was only because his second brother was foolish that he suffered this undeserved misfortune.
Watching a young eunuch walk out of the Wuying Hall, Little Zhu confidently walked forward.
But an unexpected event occurred. The young eunuch stopped Little Zhu and said obsequiously, "Your Highness, His Majesty has decreed that the Crown Prince, along with Prince Wu and Prince Xu, must go to the Qianqing Palace to pay their respects."
That's fine. It doesn't matter if we don't go into the Wuying Hall, as long as we do the job that our great-grandfather assigned us.
But suddenly Little Zhu remembered something, and with a stern face, she scolded, "His Highness Prince Xu is the second son of the Emperor's grandfather. You must not disrupt the established order!"
The young eunuch immediately turned pale and knelt down to beg for forgiveness, but Little Zhu snorted coldly. There were some things he could say, his father and mother could say, and even his uncle could say, but others couldn't say, especially people in the palace!
These are the rules; they can't be broken!
