The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

It was not until Uncle Gao Er and Uncle Gao Da left one after another that Lu Yun was led out of the small hall by Yao Chun.

The atmosphere between the King of Nanyue and Princess Gao was delicate.

One of them looked down at the booklet in his hand, while the other lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

Lu Yun dared to say, "Your Majesty, I have an idea about Uncle Gao." Facing the gazes of the three members of the Zhou family, Lu Yun chuckled, "Your Majesty, according to the sailors who have been to Luzon, Luzon is made up of islands of various sizes. The emperor occupies the largest island, Luzon, and his rule over the other smaller islands is weaker. The weapons used by the soldiers are also rather crude, far inferior to those in South Vietnam. Why not send a few ships over to help your uncle?"

The King of Nanyue listened and looked at his son, neither happy nor unhappy. "Bo Li, you speak."

Zhou Boli said calmly, "I think what the princess said is reasonable. Father, you really need to give an explanation to your uncle."

Princess Gao turned her head and stared at her husband, "Zhou Chong, what do you want?"

The King of Nanyue, who was addressed by his wife by her name in front of the younger generation, coughed awkwardly a few times and said, "Well, this matter needs to be considered carefully. The large ships and manpower are ready, but I don't know if my brother-in-law is willing to do it."

Zhou Boli said bluntly, "Luzon is too far away for South Vietnam to reach. I believe my uncle will agree. Besides, if my father wants to explore deeper into the ocean, he will need a reliable supply point. Luzon is rich in resources, especially gold mines, and with my uncle's connections in the two places, trade cooperation is a piece of cake. In short, this is a win-win situation for both South Vietnam and my uncle."

Princess Gao was not a fool, so she naturally understood the deeper meaning of her son's words. She didn't care about anything else, but she was happy that Zhou Chong was too far away to interfere in Luzon's internal affairs.

"Zhou Chong, you can handle this matter!"

The King of Nanyue glared at Zhou Boli and said, "Then let's do it this way."

On the eighth day of the second lunar month, the four ships lined up. Uncle Gao bid farewell to everyone in the palace and boarded the large ship. The leading officer gulped down the strong liquor offered by the prince and shouted, "Let's go!"

Princess Gao supported A Niang and stood there until she could no longer see Uncle Gao. The old man held back his tears and didn't say a word for a long time. Princess Gao held the old man in her arms and walked back. She comforted him softly, "A Niang, just stay in the palace. There are a few days left for the wine shop's official ceremony and the princess's wedding. They are both your favorite juniors."

The old man smiled and nodded. "Yes, this is the most important thing right now."

When the group returned to the mansion, Cai He found that her mistress was missing after she returned from fetching the wedding gown. She searched inside and outside three times but couldn't find her. On the way, she ran into Liu Zi, who was also looking for someone, and finally Cai He felt relieved.

In the greenhouse of the garden, Lu Yun squatted on the ground and watched the gardener dig the sweet potatoes out of the black soil one by one. A sweet potato vine produced eight sweet potatoes with a total weight of five kilograms.

One sweet potato can produce three to four sweet potato seedlings, and in three months the yield will be considerable. Seeing Zhou Boli still staring at the sweet potato vines, Lu Yun quickly protected him and said, "No, you can't eat it now."

Zhou Boli coughed lightly, "Ayun, when my uncle left, he promised my father that he would bring back some sweet potatoes."

Lu Yun said firmly, "Your Highness, time is worth a thousand pieces of gold." The sooner sweet potatoes can be promoted, the sooner they can benefit the people, or they can seize an opportunity in the unknown.

Seeing that her expression was extremely serious, Zhou Boli said nothing more and sent someone to deliver the sweet potatoes, peppers and gardeners to the farm outside the city.

The two of them walked in silence until they reached the entrance of Heyue Pavilion. Lu Yun grabbed the corner of his clothes, a look of guilt on her face. "Your Highness, there are some things I don't know how to say. I can only think about doing more now so that I can do less in the future."

Zhou Boli turned sideways and said, "Ayun, I'm not angry."

Lu Yun gently shook his sleeve. "Really?"

Zhou Boli's lips curled up slightly, and a smile flickered in his blue-gray eyes. "Really. My Ah Yun, just do whatever you want. If you are too busy to order me around, I will do it."

Lu Yun covered her mouth and chuckled, lifted her skirt and waved at him, then turned and walked into the yard.

"What a heartless person." The man shook his head and sighed, then disappeared at the door of Heyue Pavilion.

As soon as Lu Yun entered the room, Caihe took her into the house. After seeing the situation in the house clearly, Lu Yun took a breath and just wanted to get up when she heard the door behind her slam shut.

Tonghua frowned and stood in front of the door, "My Lady Princess, we can't delay any longer."

Hanging everywhere, on the bed, couch, shelves, and screens, were all kinds of wedding gowns. The original one from the Qin Dynasty, the Empress said, was too old and unusable, so she had a new one made in the same style. One of the things my mother had asked my eldest cousin to bring when she arrived was also one. It was said that the best embroiderers at Xiefang Pavilion worked tirelessly day and night, and it took over a month to complete.

After seeing this dress, Princess Gao immediately asked Lu Yun to wear it and kept the original one as a backup.

The other two sets are Baizhi and Jinchi's wedding dresses, which they will wear when they ride in the flower carriage to parade through the streets after serving tea the next day, one set during the day and one set at night.

In addition, there are seven or eight sets of clothes in the box, which are reserved for meeting the wives after the wedding. The clothes you wear when going out to meet people within nearly a month after the wedding cannot be the same. Well, there are also jewelry.

There were tourmaline, ruby, pearl, inlaid gemstone, piled gauze and various styles of gold filigree... The most eye-catching ones were the three head crowns: the five-phoenix golden crown inlaid with gemstones given by my mother, the golden crown with lotus and cloud pattern prepared by Princess Gao, and a one-foot-tall red hydrangea hat inlaid with gold and rubies.

Cai He continued to ramble, "The Queen also said that according to the Central Plains' rules, from the day after tomorrow until the day of your wedding, you will move to Miss Dashou's place next door."

"And these clothes and jewelry, as well as the pile of dowry currently in the warehouse, all need to be sorted out, repacked and moved next door, and then brought over with you on the wedding day."

"The servants have already counted everything, and the custom boxes have been delivered next door, waiting to be packed."

"And the dowry maids you need are six, and you're still short of five."

Lu Yun raised her hand to stop her. "Sister Caihe, forget about the dowry maids. If you really want them, you can hire two from the farm for temporary use. It won't be too late to pick them up later when you find better ones."

It was really too late to go shopping now, so Caihe thought for a moment and then gave up on the matter.

Caihe continued to mutter, but Lu Yun's thoughts had already flown out the window.

Ever since Marquis Cheng'en's last incident, Lu Yun realized that her presence in Kyoto was far too low, so low that the Li family, with their stereotypes about concubines' daughters, came directly to her door. She wanted to prove to those people in Kyoto with ulterior motives that she was not a concubine's daughter with a bad relationship with her legitimate mother and sister, nor was she an idiot who could be fooled around at will.

A month ago, Lu Yun spent a lot of money to buy a large ship of supplies and handed it to the personal soldiers of the King of Nanyue. It was sent to the Lu family in Kyoto by water with colorful flags flying.

It's about time.
