"Xiaoqing, let's go back. We don't need to bring so many things."
"When we came last time, we didn't take a lot of them."
Chen Muyue looked at the mountains of packages and said speechlessly.
According to the schedule, Chen Muyue will leave for Annan Province in a few days to get married.
So Xiaoqing, the maid who had been following him, also started to pack some things for the road.
At this moment, Xiao Qing was instructing the palace maids and eunuchs to pack various items.
Upon hearing the question, Xiao Qing turned around and said, "My Concubine Yue, do you think it was us who set off from Annan at that time?"
"Now I'm going back to visit my relatives. I think I have to take at least twelve sets of clothes to take turns with me on the way."
"There are also rouge, gouache, etc. Of course I have to bring enough. There must be many people in the harem who want to get some benefits from the empress when I go back."
"But Xiaoqing is a considerate person. I have forgotten these times."
That is Zhu Ying.
They had no way to personally thank His Highness Taisun, and they didn't even know who their benefactor looked like, so they could only support him silently.
Zhu Ying waved her hand slightly, and Guo Zhong immediately understood the meaning. He signaled to the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, and everyone followed, including Xiao Qing.
As Zhu Ying's words fell, the drums started to sound, the civil and military officials cleared the way, and the Chengtian Gate slowly opened.
In this bright world, Chen Muyue did not resist at all, but buried her head deeply in Zhu Ying's chest.
In order to maximize the benefits of this trip, a large number of merchant ships have been preparing for the trip to the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast coast.
For example, in some extremely poor small countries, one tribute trade may be enough to make their royal family gain unimaginable wealth, and even more people can have enough to eat.
When the carriage passed Chengtian Gate, the huge cheers completely covered up all the sounds.
Immediately, he picked up Chen Muyue and walked directly towards the house.
"Guo Zhong."
Zhu Ying waved her hand, then walked to Chen Muyue's side, smiled and joked: "Packing so many things, are you planning to leave and never come back?"
The so-called loyalty basically does not exist beyond three generations.
Of course, as a country close to the border of the Ming Dynasty, if it does not express its intention to surrender, it may also suffer bullying from the big powers.
Zhu Ying actually knew in her heart that Chen Muyue, as the eldest princess of Annan, might not have reacted at first, but after such a long time, she would naturally figure out her purpose.
"You won't blame me if I ask you to go back to Annan, right?" Zhu Ying spoke first.
Zhu Yuanzhang not only had no scruples about these, but actually enjoyed hearing about them.
On both sides of Zhengyang Avenue outside Chengtian Gate, there are countless densely packed crowds.
At this age, he still has no greed for power. What he wants most is to see that his heir is good enough.
The matter of Concubine Yue returning to Annan to visit her relatives can be said to be a major national event.
Perhaps many people think this has little impact, but in fact the impact is more terrifying than the grassland embargo.
"Don't prepare anything that will disgrace my Ming Dynasty."
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still canceled the court meeting and arranged for all civil and military officials to travel with his grandson to strengthen his momentum.
"Yeah, I have to think carefully and don't forget anyone. It's best to bring a few more copies to be prepared."
Such a huge momentum made Chen Muyue a little nervous, and she subconsciously held Zhu Ying's hand. She was able to sit in the dragon chariot today, which was an extraordinary gift. She had never seen such a grand scene before.
Chen Muyue was silent for a moment and said: "I am the concubine of His Highness Taisun. From the day she came to the palace, she has become someone who belongs to His Highness Taisun."
"These things are all gifts that I personally decided to bring back to Annan."
Not only Champa, but other neighboring countries will definitely want to get a share of the pie.
This caused two blushes to appear on Chen Muyue's face.
"But I didn't expect that I would end up here with His Highness."
This shows that Da Sun has strong abilities in governance.
Zhu Ying then turned to Xiao Qing and said: "Get up, you are a loyal person. The Chamber of Commerce has all the good things, you just watch and pick some, and prepare enough gifts."
Every big ship is packed with cargo.
Just thinking like this, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness Taisun is here!"
Zhu Ying and Chen Muyue sat on the dragon chariot and walked out through the end gate under the escort of the royal guards.
But this favor is envied by everyone.
Many palace maids and eunuchs quickly stopped what they were doing and saluted respectfully.
This type of remote sanctions was something that the Central Plains dynasty had never had much experience with.
If Annan also suffered sanctions similar to those on the grasslands, then the economic shortcomings would first be one aspect, and the most important one would be the impact from other countries.
Right now I have to kneel down with Xiaoqing.
Although His Highness Taisun has rarely come to spend the night recently.
"For me, the best place is Annan, so I want Annan. My first step plan is how to enter Annan."
"Those ministers' daughters who have been friends with the empress in the past, naturally have to bring a copy with them."
Zhu Ying shouted, and Guo Zhong, who was following behind, immediately replied: "I'm here, old slave."
But Zhu Ying is very familiar with this aspect. After all, in later generations, such situations are too common.
Like the embargo on the grasslands, if it were imposed on any small country, it would be a huge blow.
"When I was a child, I began to learn all kinds of etiquette, chess, calligraphy and painting. From the time I was born, I seemed to be preparing for marriage without any freedom of my own."
Around the pier, there are huge crowds of people.
There are almost no records of this kind of situation, let alone civil and military officials, even in history.
However, this also requires an admission ticket, not just anyone can follow, otherwise they will be directly driven away by the Ming Dynasty Navy.
"These are all good brands from the capital, so I won't lose any money by giving them away like this."
Letting him return to Annan this time was not just a matter of visiting relatives. From a large level, it was to bring enough influence to help the Ming Dynasty in Annan further expand.
As Chen Muyue listened, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten a lot of things to prepare, and her heart was completely immersed in His Highness Taisun's pampering.
Most of the people who came to the pier today, especially in the early morning to fight for a good position, were refugees from other places.
But it was just because the newspaper said that His Highness Taisun would come over and wanted to see His Highness Taisun's face.
"The name of Princess Annan does sound good, but who can understand the pain involved."
This was the first time that Zhu Ying said such love words, which had a somewhat domineering tone, but Chen Muyue really did not accept this.
When doing these things, the Yamen staff will tell them that these are all arrangements by His Highness Taisun.
"Everyone loves you!" Zhu Ying said loudly.
"Please, Your Majesty the Grand Sun, just punish one of your servants. This is none of your business."
As long as they are refugees who come to the capital from other places, they will soon undergo some changes with the help of the relevant yamen.
The end door is open.
What is it like to have almost a million people gather together, shouting and cheering hysterically?
When the concubine Taisun came to visit her, there was no question of Zhu Yuanzhang personally coming forward.
"Actually, when I was captured by His Highness's men, I thought this would be a good idea."
The security of the entire capital has also been greatly improved under Zhu Ying's management and mobilization.
Nowadays, the use of economic sanctions is not very popular in the Ming Dynasty. It feels that it is unbecoming of a great power, but Zhu Ying has no mental obstacles in this regard.
Even though the people of Annan use Chinese and even use Chinese characters, their hearts have long had nothing to do with the Central Plains Dynasty.
"The fate between you and me has been destined for a long time."
Zhu Ying thought for a while and then ordered: "Concubine Yue must prepare many gifts when she returns to Annan. You take Xiaoqing to Ping'an Tea House and explain to Uncle Zhang that it is my wish and let him
Prepare many gifts.”
All civil and military officials kowtowed and shouted.
They just vaguely saw the Chengtian Gate opening and the dragon chariot appearing, so they couldn't help but start cheering.
There were only two people in the room, Chen Muyue and Zhu Ying.
In fact, Zhu Ying himself didn't even know how lofty his status was in the hearts of the people in the capital.
This time, the Ming Navy has cleared the way, which means there is no threat at sea.
If it had been any prince from other dynasties, such behavior would have long been recognized as buying people's hearts, and the emperor of that dynasty would have to restrain himself from all aspects to prevent him from seizing power.
Chen Muyue turned around and looked, and sure enough, His Highness Taisun was here.
"Previously, before I knew that I was the eldest grandson of Huang Ming, I had already sent people to Annan."
"Even if I can't be the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, you must still be my concubine, and you can't run away no matter what."
The population of the capital has increased by hundreds of thousands in the past year, and the biggest factor is the conversion of refugees.
Zhu Ying knew that this would give rise to some ideas in Chen Muyue's mind.
There are some things that it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to intervene in, and it is easy to cause some fundamental conflicts. After all, it has been so long since Annan established an independent country.
"Being able to go back this time is already the greatest favor His Highness has shown to me."
This dependence is not only on influence and the face of the Celestial Kingdom, but more on the support of an economic form.
"Meet His Highness the Grand Sun!"
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhu Ying gently held Chen Muyue in her arms.
The ministers had already queued up from Duanmen to Chengtianmen.
This kind of pomp is still very big.
When a person is at the end of his rope and suddenly receives such meticulous care, that kind of gratitude will last a lifetime.
In just two years, too many people have benefited from Zhu Ying's favor.
Only with Zhu Yuanzhang's indulgence could Zhu Ying have the prestige he has today.
He leaned against Zhu Ying's chest and whispered: "His Highness means that he will defeat me no matter what."
After all, the tribute trade now practiced by the Ming Dynasty is an unimaginable wealth for most countries.
As far as civilization is concerned, there is not a single beggar in the entire capital. This does not mean that they have all been driven out, but that all these beggars have been truly absorbed and transformed.
"Annan is originally Annan of the Central Plains. It has been so many years ago. I am just passing by like this to bring order to the chaos and allow Annan to return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Xiaoqing kowtowed in surprise: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Temporary accommodation will be arranged for those who do not have a place to live, and technical training will be arranged for those without skills, and even work assignments will be helped.
Hearing this, Xiao Qing next to him was so frightened that his face turned pale. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, don't blame the empress. It was my slave's idea."
However, Zhu Ying had quick eyesight and quick hands, and she hugged Chen Muyue's waist and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding you, I was worried that you wouldn't come back."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Muyue was immediately frightened. She had no idea how such a thing could happen.
Guo Zhong replied: "I understand."
Especially neighboring countries like Champa, which have been in conflict for a long time, will definitely take this opportunity to add insult to injury and invade Annan's territory without hesitation.
"I was thinking that if I was really kidnapped, then marrying a mountain king would be better than living in the palace."
On the pier outside Zhengyangmen, more than a dozen blessing ships were waiting quietly, and the entire pier was under complete security.
These were all here to see the excitement, and it was published in the newspaper of the capital's residence that Concubine Yue was visiting the bride's house today, and her Highness the Grand Sun was also there to see her off.
How could a shrewd businessman miss such a great opportunity?
Xiao Qing muttered something in her mouth, counting with her fingers.
At the same time, he held Chen Muyue's hand tightly and told him to relax.
The canonization of the Annan royal family is nothing more than a small country's dependence on a big country.
Annan, as Chen Muyue's home country, wanted to help Ming Dynasty deal with Annan under Zhu Ying's wishes.
"The king also wants to prepare a gift. Xiaoqing thought that porcelain is the best. We happen to have several sets of good porcelain in the palace. I asked Eunuch Guo if he could bring it with him.
Leaving."
"Greetings to His Highness Taisun, His Highness Taisun is a thousand years old!"
She had never experienced such a scene in broad daylight. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed.
Although Annan is in a good situation, he also has a very considerable wealth.
In fact, for most, or all, the people who came here early in the morning, their focus was not on Concubine Yue.
This kind of grand occasion is something that no one has ever experienced before.
The world seemed to have lost its voice. He opened his mouth to speak, but his own voice could not be heard.
Everything must be completely covered up.
Apart from the shouts of millions of people, there was no other sound in my ears.
fear!
The civil and military officials knew that His Highness Taisun had great prestige in the hearts of the people in the capital, but they did not expect that it would be so great.
