Yan Shiyue wrote in plain language, so the letter was very thick. The gist of it was that this matter had nothing to do with you, I agreed to come out on my own, and Aye was in a hurry and took too much action, so you shouldn’t be angry with him. Anyway, Aye has been partial to me for a long time, and it’s your fault that you are silent all day long and are not as good as me at acting like a spoiled child…
Prince Duan was almost amused by her.
Is there anyone as comforting as you?
But she changed the subject and said that we all understand that you are doing this for Dayan, you have great justice in your heart and you have no selfish motives. Your achievements will benefit the present and future generations, and you will be remembered by history!
Then she told me in detail about her experiences in Ryukyu Island and sent me a lot of fruits and food.
Prince Duan finished reading the letter, pressed it to his side, and whispered, "What a mess!"
My mood inexplicably improved a lot.
As usual, what Princess Duan wrote talked about many things that happened in those days.
When Prince Duan returned to the capital to apologize, the news was privately spread widely, but Concubine Xian never avoided suspicion and still sent gifts to the prince's palace from time to time.
Zhen'er also caused a disturbance in the upper study room. Someone accused his father of killing Yan Shiyue...but he was rescued by Jie'er and Jiaozi.
...
...
In this letter, Princess Duan said that after Yan Shiyue came back, she came to Prince Duan's Mansion several times and told her that she would be there to accompany her when she gave birth.
Prince Duan folded the letter in silence.
In fact, he could understand his father's favoritism.
Even he felt much more relieved after learning that Yan Shiyue had returned.
The next day, Emperor Chengsheng summoned the Ryukyu envoy, accepted the letter, and decided to build the next highway starting from Quanzhou to facilitate future trade routes.
While the capital was celebrating, the battle between the Northwestern Army and Mobei was in full swing.
In fact, the Huo family had left Northwest Pass for a long time, and many people in the army had never seen them. But the former Huo family soldiers who were still in the army, no matter how big or small the officials were, were instinctively close to the Huo family.
Moreover, Huo Qijing was here to command the three armies on behalf of Emperor Chengsheng, and his status was so high that the Du family father and son could only obey his orders.
In fact, the father and son of the Du family, especially Du Kerong, were somewhat dissatisfied with this.
Firstly, it was because Huo Qijing parachuted in, and secondly, it was because the cannons in Mobei came from Dayan.
Therefore, many people, led by them, were complaining about the wrong decision made by the imperial court, which gave the enemy firearms to attack their own people, without caring about the lives of the soldiers.
Huo Qijing ignored it.
This battle with Mobei was the first time that the Firearms Battalion participated in a war, and its significance was far greater than the battle itself.
He was already very familiar with the northwest region, so he directly dispatched personnel and quickly launched the first battle.
Then everyone knew what firepower crushing meant.
Although they were both cannons, Dayan's cannons had a much longer range than the enemy's, and they were shotguns. After a few shots, the enemy was defeated. Then Zhao Kuangyin led the firearms battalion to charge, reaping lives very calmly... and took the city without bloodshed.
After that, Huo Qijing issued a military order that anyone who attacked and questioned the imperial court or shook the army's morale would be executed once discovered, regardless of rank.
At this moment, everyone saw the tragic contrast with their own eyes, and instantly understood where the court's confidence came from... I sold it to you because I am sure that this person is no match for me.
The jumping around of the Du family father and son immediately became a joke.
From then on, Huo Qijing strengthened the morale of the army, and good news of victory spread to the capital one after another.
In less than a month, Dayan conquered Mobei.
Emperor Chengsheng issued an edict to rename Mobei as Mozhou, and appointed Zhao Kuangyin as the governor of Mozhou. He left half of the Firearms Battalion and the Northwest Army to guard the Mobei Royal City. Du Qisheng was still stationed at the Northwest Pass, and Huo Qijing was ordered to return to the court immediately.
At this point, except for countries such as Ryukyu across the sea, Dayan finally achieved the unification of the world.
Compared with living side by side with other countries and serving as each other's regime, this situation obviously makes the scholars more happy.
And this time, Dayan has a legitimate reason to be a teacher. We have been making friends with you, trading with you and running schools with you, and we have even allowed your princes and princesses to study at our Imperial Academy, but you want to snatch our Empress Fu. If I don't kill you, you will treat us like soft persimmons! Humph!
Lady Fu Yan Shiyue: "..."
Well, since I've already beaten him, I just have to take the blame! She accepted it.
When Huo Qijing returned to Chang'an City, Yan Shiyue found out that she was pregnant again.
Counting the dates, she must have gotten pregnant during the time on the island. She and Huo Qijing were reunited after a long separation, so they made a lot of noise. She must have forgotten to deal with it one day.
Then Emperor Chengsheng gave Yan Shiyue an excuse, and it was natural for him to avoid the morning court again.
The following year, on June 19th of the fourth year of Chengsheng, Yan Shiyue gave birth to another little girl, named Huo Yumiao, and her nickname was Xiaoqi.
It was also in this year that the Ministry of Commerce successfully cultivated pearls in seawater and harvested a large number of pearls. It is no exaggeration to say that the quantity was overwhelming. Among them, a batch of bright golden pearls were also cultivated. Each one was big and round, and very beautiful.
At this moment, Yan Zhaozhi and his men had also harvested a good second batch of peanuts.
The previous batch was sent to various places as seeds. For this batch, Yan Shiyue directed the people in the Ministry of Commerce to make manual oil presses, and then sold the machines and technology like down jackets, but not the oil.
Soon everyone upgraded their weapons and started using peanut oil.
There are a lot of people in the Ministry of Commerce now, and they are becoming more and more useful. Yan Shiyue only needs to talk and doesn't need to do everything himself.
When Xiaoqi was a hundred days old, she took her to Wannian Garden and lived there for a while. After coaxing Xiaoqi to sleep, she called Prince Ke to paint their portraits.
Meng Hui, she and Nian Gao each dressed up and posed.
Meng Hui is wearing a lotus-colored outfit, looking lazy, Yan Shiyue is wearing a bright red outfit, looking bold and bright, and Xiao Nian Gao is wearing a pink and white outfit, looking delicate and cute.
The three of them look very similar, and they are from three generations, each with their own unique temperament. The painting of them is so story-filled.
Yan Shiyue became happy and wrote a title for it: "Three Generations of Beauty."
As a result, Nian Gao brought Xiao Qi over. Xiao Qi played with the paint for a while, then pressed his hand on the painting, right below the inscription, with a chubby little paw. Several people even said it was a pity, but Emperor Ming Yan saw it and smiled and said, "Yes, the original name was too straightforward. This press adds some interest."
While they were playing, Wang Chaoqing ran in and saluted neatly: "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you to see him."
Yan Shiyue said "oh" and handed the child to Meng Hui, then got on Yuwen's carriage and returned to the palace.
When Emperor Cheng Sheng saw her coming, he smiled and said, "Yuer, guess what I called you to do?"
Seeing his happy face, Yan Shiyue thought for a moment: "Could it be that the people who went out to sea have returned?"
Emperor Cheng Sheng laughed: "How can you be so smart and guess right at once!"
Yan Shiyue was delighted: "Really?"
Emperor Chengsheng nodded and said, "Come and take a look. Is this the food with the highest yield you mentioned?"
The people below bowed quickly and saluted. This person came back at full speed to announce the good news, bringing letters and some other things.
The most important things were the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Yan Shiyue had been longing for, as well as tomatoes and sunflowers, as well as apples of a different variety from Dayan's and some other fruits.
Yan Shiyue was overjoyed: "Brother! That's great! With these two things, millions of people can be saved!"
Emperor Chengsheng was also smiling happily.
Apart from anything else, the yield of potatoes per mu can reach 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms, and the yield of sweet potatoes per mu can reach 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can feed tens of millions of people.
