This made Chu Shengrui feel somewhat regretful, especially when he occasionally saw some ministers in the court having a close and uninhibited relationship with their sons. He would feel a tremendous sense of envy.
Therefore, among his numerous sons, only Chu Yunzhao could behave frivolously in front of him, which gave him a taste of common folk sentiment within the palace.
Consequently, Chu Shengrui was very partial to Chu Yunzhao.
Even now, as Chu Yunzhao spoke, Chu Shengrui knocked lightly on his forehead and said, "You're such a big fellow, how could I possibly not see you?"
"Is Father suggesting that I have put on weight?" Chu Yunzhao continued to jest.
"Not exactly. You've grown taller," Chu Shengrui replied with a laugh, "I remember when I saw you and Jinnian before, Jinnian seemed to be a bit taller. Now it seems you two are more or less the same height."
