Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

After more than half a month of hard work, the first ship was finally completed. Although it was only one-third the size of the Zhaoyang, Biyou was already satisfied. Mu Yunxi had explained to her that their current conditions only allowed for a ship this large. It wasn't that Mu Yunxi wanted to build her a larger ship, but rather that the conditions in Utara really only allowed for a ship this large. However, Mu Yunxi still drew a blueprint for a larger ship and gave it to Biyou, so that they could build their own ship later when they had the conditions. They had recently trained the shipbuilding personnel sent by Utara, and now that the Zhaoyang had been repaired, they were ready to set sail again.

The residents were overjoyed to see that their country also had a large ship. Biyou said gratefully to Mu Yunxi and Wu Jianghua, "Thank you very much. This ship will start our new life."

After saying goodbye, Mu Yunxi boarded the Zhaoyang ship, carrying the tens of thousands of kilograms of corn seeds, various fruits, and fruit seeds given by Biyou. As the ship set sail, the people of the island of Utara waved goodbye, their eyes filled with reluctance and gratitude.

Mu Yunxi looked at the corn seeds, looking forward to taking them back to Zhaoguo to improve people's livelihood.

However, after more than a month of sailing, undercurrents began to flow beneath the calm sea. A group of pirates set their sights on the Zhaoyang ship, quietly approaching it under cover of night. By the time the soldiers on the lookout discovered them, the pirates had already launched an attack. Mu Yunxi remained calm and commanded the soldiers to defend and counterattack, while Wu Jianghua led some men to protect the ship and Mu Yunxi. Meanwhile, Yongle in the cabin showed no signs of worry. He ate the fruit sent by the Utara Kingdom with disdain, "What's wrong with this fruit? It's ugly and smelly, but delicious!"

Ku Yue, who was standing by, covered her nose with a handkerchief and looked at Ruo Xia with disdain as she cracked the durian open. She chimed in, "That's right! It's prickly!"

Outside, the battle was raging. Wu Jianghua had originally wanted to use cannons to blow them up, but Mu Yunxi stopped him. "It's too close. We can't blow them up. We'll just get ourselves hit." Looking at the pirate ship below, with its peculiar shape and concave shape, she ordered, "Capture it!" Wu Jianghua was puzzled when she heard this, and Mu Yunxi explained, "Their ship isn't big, its shape is unique, and most importantly, it's very stable! Even with such strong winds and waves, they haven't deviated from their direction at all."

Wu Jianghua saw that it was indeed the pirate ship. He immediately grabbed the flag and commanded the No. 6 and No. 7 Zhaoyang ships in a regular manner. Soon, the pirate ship was surrounded.

Seeing this, Mu Yunxi led two teams and flew onto the pirate ship, engaging in close combat. Her swordsmanship was swift and sharp, weaving through the enemy like a phantom. Soon, most of the pirates fell, and the two teams that followed immediately finished them off. After a flurry of swordplay, only six remained on the pirate ship. A lieutenant who had flown down with her exclaimed in disbelief, "Just thirty or so people dared to hijack our three large ships?"

In the dim cabin, Mu Yunxi looked at the remaining six people. They all had hairy beards and looked ridiculous. But Mu Yunxi did not let down his guard and kept his sword tightly in his hand.

At this moment, one of the bearded men began to speak a great deal, but no one present could understand him. Including Mu Yunxi. An idea suddenly struck Mu Yunxi, and she regretted not bringing back a few locals from Pandora and Utara. Fortunately, she could understand some of their language, but she couldn't understand this man's words at all. So, she decided, "Don't kill them. Let's take them back and have them learn our language, and then have them teach us theirs."

"Lord Mu is wise! This way we will be able to understand what these Russians say in the future!" The deputy general behind her laughed, and the other soldiers echoed.

So, Mu Yunxi and the others returned to the Zhaoyang ship with the six people they had subdued. Yongle heard the news and ran out to watch the fun. Seeing the six hairy bearded men, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Nanny Kuyue also smiled secretly.

Yongle came to Mu Yunxi and whispered, "How come there are people who look like this?"

Mu Yunxi said lovingly, "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders!"

After Wu Jianghua imprisoned the six bearded men, they continued their journey towards Zhaoguo at an accelerated pace. Despite the dangers, they returned with a rich harvest. After another three months at sea, they drew ever closer to Zhaoguo, their hearts filled with joy at the prospect of returning home and a longing for its future.

After another two months at sea, they finally reached shore. At the Southwest Pier, Zhaoguo had reached the summer solstice. Mu Yunxi helped Yongle disembark, and the crowd at the Southwest Pier cheered. The general in charge of the military immediately dispatched a messenger back to Kyoto to announce the good news of Princess Yongle and Mu Yunxi's return.

As soon as Yongle stepped onto land, her legs felt slightly weak, after all, she had been tossing and turning on the boat for so long. She took a deep breath, feeling the familiar scent of the land, her heart filled with emotion.

Mu Yunxi on the side joked, "Your Highness, the land is not as stable as the deck of a ship." Yongle rolled his eyes at her, but couldn't help laughing.

The surrounding soldiers gathered around, but considering Yongle's identity, they could only stand stiffly in the distance, watching them excitedly and curiously.

Mu Yunxi could see the thirst for knowledge in their eyes, so she said, "I will compile the story of this voyage into a book, and then have storytellers from all over the country spread the news."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers. She also asked the soldiers stationed here to help move down all the things they brought back this time, and they would take them back to Kyoto.

At this moment, the official in charge of the area hurried over and respectfully saluted Yongle. Yongle smiled and asked him to stand up, saying, "It is really a pleasure to have you back this time." The official hurriedly responded and said that a carriage was ready to escort them back to Beijing.

Yongle glanced at the ships behind him, then at the enthusiastic subjects before him. He turned to Mu Yunxi and said firmly, "Although this journey has been full of twists and turns, it has yielded fruitful results. We will definitely make Zhao Kingdom even more prosperous in the future." Then, the two of them headed towards Kyoto, filled with anticipation. Because there was so much stuff, Mu Yunxi decided to take all the grain back to Kyoto first. Zhao Kingdom could still plant a season at this time, and the rest could be sent back to the capital later.

Upon hearing the news that they had returned, bringing with them tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, Emperor Qing Zhao personally went out to greet them. Yongle and Mu Yunxi hadn't rested a moment since disembarking from the ship and rushed non-stop to Kyoto. It was already evening when they arrived at the Kyoto city gates. Seeing Emperor Qing Zhao personally coming to greet them, they quickly knelt in greeting. Emperor Qing Zhao personally helped them up, his gaze filled with compassion and satisfaction. "My princess and my beloved minister, you have worked hard on this journey."

Afterwards, everyone returned to the palace. Inside, the Empress hosted a banquet to welcome Yongle and his companions back. At the banquet, there was singing and dancing. Mu Yunxi and Yongle occasionally exchanged glances, their gazes seemingly filled with a strange emotion.
