Chen Muyue suspected that she had heard wrongly.

His Highness Taisun actually agreed to go back to Annan to visit the bride?

Is this true?

Is this really possible?

After being stunned for a long while, Chen Muyue trembled and asked Zhu Ying: "Your Highness, you... just said that you want me to go back to Annan to visit the bride?"

Zhu Ying smiled, looked at the wide-eyed Chen Muyue and said, "Didn't you miss Annan just now? Why, I told you to go back and have a look, don't you want to go back?"

Chen Muyue waved her hands immediately and said quickly: "No, no, no, I just...just...didn't expect..."

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "It's just a matter of going back and taking a look. It's no big deal. This palace is not a prison for you."

"If you take the sea route from Annan, it's not that far. When the time comes, you can follow the ship and arrive directly. It's very convenient and fast."

"It only takes more than two months to go back and forth, so I don't have to worry about it day and night here."

"You have been in the capital for more than a year, so you should go back and have a look."

"When the time comes, I will send 10,000 soldiers to accompany you to protect your safety."

Zhu Ying was not joking with Chen Muyue, but really wanted him to go to Annan.

The current situation in Annan, including the surrounding Champa, is now very unclear.

Rushing into action will undoubtedly cause great chaos.

But if Chen Muyue goes back to Annan to visit relatives, and then sends ten thousand soldiers to go with him, the concept is completely different.

Firstly, it can be enough to deter some disobedient forces in Annan. Secondly, when arriving by sea, we should first go to Champa and then pass through the Champa Kingdom to Annan.

So in terms of arrangement, there is an explanation for the Ming Dynasty's garrison troops stationed at the border in Annan.

There is nothing to worry about Chen Muyue's safety.

These 10,000 soldiers are not conventional ordinary soldiers. At least 5,000 of them are armored soldiers, accompanied by 2,000 cavalry.

And at least 8,000 soldiers will carry the latest style matchlock guns.

As long as they don't capture cities and territories, they can be said to be invincible in a field battle against a country occupying a city.

The ships were also accompanied by warships, and the Ming Navy was directly dispatched to escort them back and forth.

For a small country in Southeast Asia, with this kind of military strength, it is not impossible to directly destroy the country if it is not done well, and it is enough to provide a strong deterrent.

It seems that it is just Chen Muyue going back to Annan to visit relatives. It seems that this arrangement is a bit exaggerated. In fact, it is paving the way for the next Maritime Silk Road.

We need to make many small countries in Southeast Asia realize how powerful the Ming Dynasty is now.

To put it simply, it is a show of force and the prestige of our country.

Chen Muyue certainly did not think of these deep thoughts, but was completely immersed in the joy of being able to go home. Her affectionate look seemed to eat Zhu Ying alive at this moment.

After saying this, Chen Muyue was completely moved by Zhu Ying.

If Chen Muyue came to Ming Dynasty before because of Annan, she had no other choice, but now she is still wholeheartedly devoted to Zhu Ying.

If it were night instead of broad daylight, I might have pounced directly on Zhu Ying.

After some excited words, Zhu Ying asked Chen Muyue to go back and make preparations. After a few days, the arrangements were made and Qin Tianjian was asked to choose an auspicious day for departure.

When Chen Muyue left, Guo Zhong, who had been staying quietly next to her, finally couldn't help but said: "Master, it may be a bit inappropriate for Concubine Yue to return to China to visit her relatives before she is pregnant."

There are many rules in the palace. Generally speaking, even concubines are not allowed to leave the palace, let alone return to their parents' home, unless it is on a specific festival.

What's more, concubines like Chen Muyue who came as tribute from other small countries basically have no chance of going back in this life.

Besides, although Chen Muyue is now married, she has not yet given birth to a son and a half daughter to Zhu Ying.

It's not that Zhu Ying can't get Chen Muyue pregnant, but she has to pay attention to this aspect.

This is also to protect Ye Yueqing's status as the royal concubine and to stabilize the Ming Dynasty.

If the concubine gives birth to a boy first, it is easy for someone to mess with her.

According to the rules of the palace, even if Chen Muyue can visit the bride, she must give birth to a child.

It's just that the situation is different now, so after thinking about it again and again, Zhu Ying feels that letting Chen Muyue go back to visit relatives is the best arrangement for the current situation.

After hearing Guo Zhong's question, he asked: "It doesn't match the etiquette. Who made this etiquette? Is it grandpa?"

With just one sentence, Guo Zhong immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "I have a bad mouth, I have a bad mouth."

As he spoke, he slapped his mouth.

When His Highness Taisun mentioned His Majesty, Guo Zhong knew that he should not say anything about it.

Once this causes any conflict between His Majesty the Grand Sun and His Majesty, it will all be his fault.

Zhu Ying waved her hands and said, "You don't have to do that. There are some things in the future that you shouldn't ask, so don't ask."

I don't mean to punish Guo Zhong, but the key here is that you can't tell others, you just need to know it well.

Guo Zhong immediately did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Then Zhu Ying thought for a while and ordered:

"As for Concubine Yue's marriage proposal, you should inform the Di Newspaper Department and write this as a front-page headline in the Di Newspaper. It will be included in the latest issue and be published as soon as possible."

"This news must be spread to Nanyang within half a month."

"By the way, I'm also sending an order to the navy of the capital to tell the newspaper department the sailing route to Champa. The first overseas stop of the Ming Dynasty must be Champa."

Hearing this, Guo Zhong still didn't understand that he was really talking too much. His Highness Taisun obviously had a more profound arrangement here.

Immediately he hurried to deliver the order.

Chen Muyue, who returned home, would naturally not tell everyone about the news that she was going back to Annan. She only told her maid Xiaoqing who came with her.

Xiaoqing was naturally extremely happy and excited after learning the news.

But I still have to hold on to this temper.

The rules in the palace are nothing to Zhu Ying, he can just do whatever he wants.

For others, it is naturally very strict.

If this makes others jealous and unable to go back, that would be a shame.

However, it was only the third day. After this news was published in the capital's residence newspaper, not to mention the palace, the entire capital was already aware of it.

Every time the Capital Newspaper is published, every concubine in the palace or the eunuch in charge will naturally get a copy.

There are not many entertainment activities these days. It can be said that reading the capital's residence newspaper has become a very common pastime in the capital and the Ming Dynasty, and even in the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying's original intention was naturally to have her own arrangements and ideas.

But they didn't expect that such an action would make everyone feel that Zhu Ying loved Concubine Yue very much.

Eight large ships, 20,000 navy troops, and 10,000 elite soldiers escorted Concubine Yue back to Annan for her wedding. Such a grand undertaking could only be accomplished by His Highness the Grand Sun.

Zhu Ying was originally very famous and very legendary, which also made everyone very curious about Zhu Ying, His Royal Highness.

Any news related to Zhu Ying, as long as it is published in the Di Bao, the Di Bao in the entire capital will definitely be sold out.

This news, if it hadn't been for the Ming Dynasty, would have given Zhu Ying the title of Love Saint.

Among them, many novelists burst out with inspiration and directly came up with a wave of behind-the-scenes stories.

But when it comes to His Royal Highness, this kind of writing is strictly prohibited, so you can only secretly write it yourself and read it. If you dare to print it, you will be immediately arrested and charged with a crime of disrespect.

"Concubine Yue is so lucky to be loved by His Royal Highness."

"Isn't it? Who can have such grace? This is not about where to go. That's Annan. For the sake of Concubine Yue, His Highness Taisun dispatched 20,000 navy troops and 10,000 elites to accompany him. It sounds like he is not a human being.

There are a lot of them, but these are all taken from the Beijing barracks."

"Being able to be the concubine of His Royal Highness, the Moon Concubine, is really enviable."

For a time, there was endless discussion in the harem about Concubine Yue and Zhu Ying, and there were obviously signs that it was getting worse.

In the end, Concubine Ning came forward and warned her before she restrained herself.

However, this was all published in the capital newspaper, and there was no real intention to ban it.

Regarding the deployment of troops, Zhu Ying had already told the old man about the situation that day, and of course he got Zhu Yuanzhang's consent.

Although Zhu Ying can be said to have taken control of the military power, and even Taisun's decree is almost as effective as the imperial edict to a certain extent, Zhu Ying will not lack the required regulations.

As long as it involves military power, I will explain it to the old man in advance and obtain his consent.

This does not mean that he is afraid of anything, but a kind of respect for Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, even if Zhu Ying gave the order without authorization, Zhu Yuanzhang would not say anything, let alone have any bad thoughts.

First of all, the grandfather and grandson are together almost every day, with Qianqing Palace in the front and Kunning Palace in the back.

Apart from anything else, having breakfast and going to court together every day is bound to happen.

With such a close relationship, who would go to His Majesty to tell a snitch about His Highness the Grand Sun? Isn’t that looking for death?

And no one in this palace knows that His Highness Taisun is His Majesty’s heartthrob and treasure.
