On the next day, Zhou Shuren did not attend the morning court session. He waited for Ming Rui to wake up, then signaled the young servant to call Ming Rui over.
In the second wife's quarters, Ming Rui was having breakfast. After finishing the last sip of porridge, he stood up and asked his father, "What does Grandfather need me for so early in the morning?"
Zhou Changyi was puzzled as well. "If anyone should be called, it ought to be me. Anyway, you'll find out when you go."
Ming Rui responded with a hum and quickly walked to the main courtyard. He saw that his grandfather and grandmother were just finishing breakfast, so he casually sat down and took the bowl from the maid's hands, serving himself a bowl of small wontons.
Zhou Shuren had already eaten his fill. "Yuan Bo and Yueyang at least know how to take Yu Die and Yu Yi out for a stroll. You're already engaged, too."
