Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth year of Zhenwen. This year, the emperor's birthday was approaching, and the entire Daqing Dynasty was immersed in a joyous and peaceful atmosphere.
Envoys from all over the world came to offer their congratulations, creating a magnificent and spectacular scene.
Among them, the most eye-catching was Emperor Mo Xiu of Nanning Kingdom personally leading a delegation from afar.
They brought countless gold and silver treasures, as well as well-fed warhorses, to express their sincerest respect and blessings to the Divine Emperor.
Mo Xiu, dressed in a magnificent dragon robe, strode confidently into the palace hall. The listlessness he had felt years ago when he was under house arrest in the capital had long since vanished.
He respectfully bowed deeply to the Divine Martial Emperor, who sat high on the dragon throne, and devoutly prostrated himself, saying, "Mo Xiu greets Your Majesty, wishing Your Majesty boundless happiness and longevity! May the Great Qing Dynasty last for thousands of years and prosper!"
Then, Mo Xiu walked forward with a smile, carefully holding an exquisite gift box in both hands. A bright red ribbon was tied to the box, making it particularly eye-catching.
Seeing this, everyone craned their necks and looked up, their hearts filled with curiosity and anticipation.
It is well known that the beauties of Nanning Kingdom are famous throughout the world. However, ever since Emperor Shenwu took over Daqing, he has explicitly forbidden anyone from presenting beauties to the palace.
But even if they don't send beautiful women, the gifts that Nanning Kingdom sends are always unique and ingenious.
Therefore, it is truly intriguing to know what kind of gift Mo Xiu will bring this time.
Finally, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Mo Xiu slowly lifted the lid of the brocade box.
In an instant, a dazzling light shot out from the box, almost blinding everyone.
As the light dimmed, people could see that the box contained an incredibly luxurious set of jewelry!
This headdress is made of pure gold and is inlaid with several crystal-clear and dazzling gemstones.
The gems varied in size and shape, but all were of superior quality and priceless.
Especially the large ruby in the very center, which shines with a fiery and captivating light, like a burning flame.
In addition, pearls, jade and other precious stones are adorned throughout, making the entire headdress even more magnificent and exquisite.
Seeing this, the envoys from other countries secretly cursed the Emperor of Nanning for being cunning, as he had actually sent the Empress's headdress to the Emperor on his birthday.
His mind is truly unique!
However, he managed to win the emperor's heart once again.
The emperor's eyes were full of smiles, and he was even happier than when he received his own gift!
Mo Xiu asked to visit the residence where he had been confined, and the Emperor immediately agreed.
As he stepped into this once-familiar house, he was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Looking back on those difficult and arduous years, if it weren't for the great help of the Divine Martial Emperor, he probably wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne, let alone govern Nanning Kingdom to the prosperity, strength, and peace it enjoys today.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiu's gratitude to the Divine Martial Emperor deepened even further; this kindness deserved to be remembered forever!
Today, the Kingdom of Nanning and the Great Qing Dynasty live in harmony, with frequent trade and deepening cultural exchanges between the two countries.
With the joint efforts of both sides, the border area has become increasingly stable and orderly, and the people are living a peaceful, prosperous, and happy life.
Behind all these wonderful scenes lies the wise decisions and tireless efforts of Emperor Shenwu and the monarchs of both countries, including Moxiu.
Not only Nanning State, but also neighboring countries including Xitu are now living in peace with Daqing.
The people of Daqing live in peace and prosperity, no longer suffering from the ravages of war.
......
A rather unassuming carriage slowly drove out of the bustling, crowded capital.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Chuwei nestled gently in her husband Lin Muheng's warm and comforting embrace, her gaze drifting through the carriage window towards the receding cityscape of the capital.
The bustling streets and noisy crowds of the capital city gradually disappeared from sight.
Jiang Chuwei gently turned her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at Lin Muheng, and softly asked, "Husband, are we just leaving like this? Won't that little girl Hua Ning cry?"
Lin Muheng smiled slightly upon hearing this, and gently stroked Jiang Chuwei's silky smooth hair, comforting her, "Madam, there's no need to worry. Hua Ning still has her two older brothers. With their love for their sister, they will surely take good care of her."
After saying that, a doting smile appeared on his face.
"Are you really not worried about entrusting the country to Yuan'er?" Jiang Chuwei asked.
“Yuan’er is exceptionally intelligent. He has been accompanying me to court since he was three years old and is already capable of handling things independently. You can rest assured, Madam!”
Lin Muheng had long ago passed the throne to the Crown Prince, and he had been waiting for this day. He wanted to spend time alone with his wife and travel all over the beautiful country!
Over the years, he has worked hard for Daqing, and his wife has worked hard to manage the harem and raise their three children. If they don't go out and see them soon, they will grow old.
Hearing this, Jiang Chuwei couldn't help but smile. Yes, their youngest daughter, Hua Ning, although still young, was an extremely well-behaved and adorable child, and was deeply loved by her two older brothers.
Although His Majesty has just ascended the throne, he actually began assisting his father in handling state affairs several years ago.
The empress, personally chosen by Jiang Chuwei, is also a virtuous woman capable of managing the affairs of the entire harem.
Jiang Chuwei felt completely at ease entrusting the management of the harem to her.
However, even so, Jiang Chuwei, as a mother, still couldn't help but feel a little worried and reluctant to part with him.
Keep in mind, this was the first time in her life that she had been separated from her children!
Will the children feel lost and sad because they miss them?
Countless complex thoughts surged into Jiang Chuwei's mind like a tide, causing a faint look of worry to involuntarily appear in her originally bright and beautiful eyes.
Lin Muheng gently pinched her cheek and smiled, "The children have all grown up!"
Suddenly a gentle breeze blew by, softly brushing across the vast expanse of golden wheat fields.
The two looked out the window and saw the heavy ears of wheat swaying lightly in the breeze, like a group of girls in golden dresses.
The farmers working hard in the fields all had joyful smiles on their faces.
Another bumper harvest!
