She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 540 Setting Sail Again

"Greetings, Princess." The four girls bowed together.

"Why are you here?"

"Princess, we want to continue serving you. Please accept us." Chunhua expressed the determination of the four sisters sincerely.

Since leaving the princess, they have been feeling uncomfortable in many ways and feel like they have lost their backbone.

They followed Lord Zhong back to Haiyue Island without any feeling of returning home.

Finally, the four of them discussed and decided that they would serve the princess from now on, even if it meant being her maids.

As long as they are with the princess, they feel at home.

They have no elders, so the princess is their support.

Yu Yuanzheng saw that the four girls were looking at her with longing.

"Have you ever thought that you are not young anymore and it's time to find someone to marry so that you can have your own family." Yu Yuanzheng really didn't know what they were thinking.

"Princess, without you, we are like people without roots, not knowing where to go." Chun Ye said, tears about to come out.

"Princess, we have no elders and no one to take care of us. We need you to take care of us." Chunshui said with a smile.

Yu Yuanzheng looked back and forth at the girls' faces, and each of them looked serious.

"Do you know that following me means you're destined to be a maid?" Yu Yuanzheng was a little confused.

When did she become their backbone?

It seems that they were robbed before and were very frightened, otherwise they would not be so attached to her.

"We know, we just like to serve the princess." Chunhua nodded heavily.

Yu Yuanzheng had no choice but to accept them.

Forget it, if you like, just follow me, just treat me as a contract worker.

I will find suitable families for them to marry into later.

Prepare to board the ship.

Last time we went out to sea there were ten ships, but this time there are twenty, plus two foreign ships, it is a very large fleet.

Jack had already purchased the things he wanted to bring in Wei, and it was the emperor who arranged for someone to take him to negotiate deals with various merchants.

He was particularly fond of the silk from the Wei Dynasty, and most of the space on his two ships was used to load silk cloth.

He said this kind of fabric was something Astoria had never had before.

Last time his father brought some back, it was not enough for the nobles to share.

So this time he spent most of his money on this, and then on fine porcelain.

He specializes in buying vases for decorative purposes.

He said such decorations were particularly needed in castles and churches to enhance their beauty.

Yu Yuanzheng got on the boat and saw many flower pots filled with soil on the deck.

"Father, is this prepared for me?" Shangguan Yajing ran towards the flower pots happily.

In the past few months since she returned to Beijing, she has actually gone to the farm to learn from the farmers how to grow vegetables.

"Yes, didn't you say last time that you wanted to grow vegetables on the boat? So I prepared some for you. There are some on other ships as well, but you have to grow them on our main ship. Can you do it?" Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile.

He thought his daughter's idea was indeed a good one. Although the amount of vegetables grown on the boat was small, it would at least improve the food.

At the same time, he also asked people to bring some live chickens on board, so that they could be killed on the spot when they wanted to eat fresh ones.

"Of course it can be done. Don't worry, Father. There are so many of us here, including me, my elder brother, my second brother, the eldest prince, my cousin Yue, and my aunt. There are also several maids around mother who can help plant the flowers. The few flower pots you prepared may not be enough."

Yu Yuanzheng shook her head in amusement, guessing that this matter would most likely fall on the four sisters of the Chun family.

It would be strange if a few children could succeed in growing crops.

This time, Yu Yuanzheng only brought two maids, Lixiang and Taoxiang, with her.

On May 30th, we officially set sail.

Emperor Qiming held a boat-boat ceremony and performed a sacrifice ceremony just like last time.

Jack and two of his companions also came to the main ship to participate.

After Yu Yuanzheng's explanation, he finally understood what this ceremony meant.

"Your Highness, the customs of the Wei Dynasty are very different from ours. We believe in God, and as long as the Virgin Mary is with us, everything will be fine." Jack put his palms on his chest and prayed briefly on the spot.

With Jack and others leading the way, after more than four months of sailing, they finally arrived in Estria.

They stopped for supplies several times along the way, but they were all places Jack and his team had stopped at when they came here, and they were able to resupply smoothly every time.

They didn't stay long at each stop. Their destination was Estria, so they didn't waste much time on the way.

There would be many opportunities in the future, and Emperor Qiming did not ask to spend more time at the stop. He planned to take a closer look at the scenery along the way when he returned.

On the blue sea, a huge fleet consisting of more than 20 Wei ships slowly sailed into the royal port of Estria.

Yu Yuanzheng stood on the deck, the sea breeze blowing across her face, bringing the unique salty and humid smell of the exotic coast.

In the distance, the spires of the Gothic buildings reflected a strange light in the sunlight. The scenery was completely different from that of Wei Dynasty, which made her unable to see clearly.

The architectural styles were exactly the same as those of medieval Europe that she had seen in books in her previous life.

"Mother, why are those houses all pointed? They seem like they are going to poke through the sky." Shangguan Yajing pulled Yu Yuanzheng's sleeve, her little face full of surprise.

Not far from the mother and daughter, Shangguan Changrui was busy sketching these unfamiliar buildings with charcoal in the notebook he carried with him.

He liked to draw what he saw along the way, preparing to take it back and compile it into a book as a souvenir.

Shangguan Ziqi walked to his wife and daughter, and his deep gaze swept over the crowd gathered at the port.

"It seems our arrival has caused quite a stir."

At the port, richly dressed nobles mingled with ordinary people, all casting curious glances at the fleet from the far East.

"Father, why do those people have such strange hair color? None of the people Jack brought had red hair, but that man had red hair." Shangguan Changyu asked, pointing to a red-haired man on the shore.

Emperor Qiming came over and chuckled, "The world is so vast, and full of wonders. When I first saw foreigners, I was also startled by their blue eyes."

The news that such a large number of huge ships had arrived at the port spread quickly.

As the boat slowly approached the shore, a middle-aged man in a dark blue suit came up surrounded by servants.

Jack rushed to the front excitedly: "Father, I'm back! I brought the distinguished guests from Wei!"

Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi also recognized him. He was the first foreigner to arrive in Wei that year.

It seems that he had arranged people to guard the shore, and they got the news so quickly and rushed to the dock to greet them.

Edward was leaning on a cane and his right leg was obviously not mobile, but he still maintained the elegant posture unique to aristocrats.

"Dear guest, welcome to Esteria." Edward said in the Wei language with a heavy accent.

Then he performed a standard Western aristocratic ceremony.

Shangguan Ziqi responded with a bow from the Great Wei.

"Mr. Edward, it's been six years since we last met. Are you feeling well?" Shangguan Ziqi said calmly in foreign language.

"I'm fine, except for my broken leg. Otherwise, it wouldn't be my son going to Wei this time, but I would be the one going there myself."

Edward was surprised at Shangguan Ziqi's fluent Astralian.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Emperor Qiming came over accompanied by the old prince.

His appearance gave Edward a start.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here too?"
