IT IS NOT OYER YET 3

That conversation was not considered by Zhu Su even in the slightest, he was already busy handling Zhou Fan Wang Guo, because even though Zhu Youdun managed to handle it very well, he was still a thirteen-year-old boy with less experience and hence he needed to fix many things since his departure to Yunnan. But it was not the case with Zhu Youxun. That conversation really disturbed his mind. Every word spoken by his father, as well as his tone when speaking it, was a great disturbance for Zhu Youxun. Because the result of that conversation for him was, he would not have any chance to become Zhou Wang. Because, his father had no intention to become the next Ming Emperor (if his father became emperor, he would certainly be enfeoffed with a big city), and insisted on making Zhu Youdun the heir to the throne as well.

Moreover, he figured out that Zhu Su was very satisfied with Zhu Youdun. Zhu Youdun was very talented in poetry, also had a very deep philosophical thought. After officially becoming Zhou Shi Zi, Zhu Youdun was more confident in showing his hidden talents. And it turned out to make him even more skyrocketed.

"Brilliant, Youdun. So brilliant!" Zhu Su applauded while listening to the poem Zhu Youdun was reading in front of all government officials.

Seeing Zhu Su applauded joyfully, the officials immediately applauded happily, following their lord's gestures. "Awesome, Your Highness! Really enchanting!"

Zhu Youdun smiled gracefully. The whole palace was now filled with joyful laughter and praiseworthy exclamations.

Zhu Youxun hated this scene so much.

"Humph! Youdun, Youdun, only Youdun who appears in his eyes, all the time!" In his private room, Zhu Youxun yelled like a mad. "He is lying and making excuse by using Huang-Ming Zuxun! He indeed favors of Brother! Actually, he has the right not to follow Huang-Ming Zuxun when choosing his successor, he's the Fan Wang of this Fan Wang Guo after all, it's not grandfather who becomes the leader here, it's him! Liar! He indeed wants to make Brother the next Zhou Wang!"

Very angry, Zhu Youxun grabbed a large jar and slammed it to the ground until it was smashed into pieces. The servants, frightened by the anger of their little lord, hurried to prostrate deeply, "Your Highness... please calm down, Your Highness..."

"I can't calm down! Because I'm sick of seeing this scene all the time!"

"Which kind of scene makes you sick, Youxun, to the extent that you can act such barbaric?"

Zhu Youxun went white. Zhu Su was standing right in front of the door, staring at him sharply.

Inevitably Zhu Youxun was scared. Fu Wang must have heard all my expletives just now! What should I do?!... His brain was spinning fast, he must give an answer that could make things back to normal... no. It would be better if he could give the answers which would help him achieve his ambition.

In a jiffy, that answer passed inside his brain.

"Fu Wang! In fact, are you satisfied with all my achievements?!" Zhu Youxun's voice when asking was not as sweet and pampering as usual. His voice was harsh, and demanding.

"Youxun, what's wrong with you? So you're mad at me, to the extent you can break a jar and shocking people just because of that?!" Zhu Su sighed. "Now you ask me whether I'm satisfied with your achievement or not. Then let me tell you. I'm always satisfied with every achievement of my children. Because all of you are my own flesh and blood. Understand?!"

Zhu Youxun was sullen.

"Now it's my turn to ask. Why do you suddenly ask that question? Do I ever disappoint you? I force you to study too hard? I don't think so. You are a boy who is proficient in all lessons, you are very diligent and smart. I am proud of your accomplishment. So what is the problem? What's wrong?"

"If that's that case... You should put me in the list of your heir, not only creating Brother to be single candidate!"

For a moment, Zhu Su's mouth fell open since he did not expect that it was the type of protest his second son would utter. But as time went by, everything became crystal clear. The conversation a few days ago he once forgotten suddenly made sense for him. He totally understood now, what exactly happened with Zhu Youxun.
