If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 278 Discussion of Return
"We've only been married for a few days! Why are we going back to Japan?" In the main hall of the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi was looking helplessly at Zhu Zhanchun in front of him, very dissatisfied with his decision to return to his fiefdom.

Faced with Zhu Gaochi's dissatisfaction, Zhu Zhanquan could only smile bitterly and said: "Dad, it's been almost a year since I left the fiefdom! The Japanese country was recently conquered by the empire, and the people have not yet become kings, although I have left enough troops. Suppress it, but if I don’t return to the fiefdom for a long time, trouble will inevitably arise over time!”

To Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanquan naturally used the rhetoric of state affairs being the most important thing. After all, he was granted the title of Prince Zheng. Now the main part of Zheng Fan is in Jiuzhou, the Japanese country. It is far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty itself has no control over that land. Very strong.

In addition, since Zhu Zhanjun came back during the New Year last year, he has not gone back this year. This will inevitably cause some people in Japan with ulterior motives to have ideas that they shouldn't have.

Before, Zhu Zhanquan participated in the Northern Expedition and was unable to return to the fiefdom. Then his wedding delayed his trip. Now that everything is done, it is indeed time for him to return to the fiefdom.

Apart from anything else, you have to go back and live in the newly built palace, right?In addition, the matter of extracting earth veins to restore Meng Qinglin's physical body had to be returned to Japan before arrangements could be made. Zhu Zhanchen no longer planned to stay in Nanjing any longer.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanquan said and knowing that it was a certainty that her son would return to the fiefdom, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel sorry for her son: "Can't you spend more time with your bridesmaid? Now that you are gone, you don't know when you will come back!"

The people's livelihood in the Japanese country is in decline. If you are missing something, mother will be worried!

And you have just got married. If your newlywed daughter-in-law is pregnant, how can the people in the Japanese country take good care of their children? "

Hearing what Zhang said, Zhu Zhanquan showed a smile on his face and deliberately said to Zhang: "I am the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. I have the responsibility to protect the land, so naturally I have to stay in the fiefdom! Wasn't that what my grandfather and his generation were all like back then? Did you come here like this?

Besides, didn’t I leave Lan Qier and Yue’er behind?Isn't it enough for you to have them with you? "

Yue'er is the name of another concubine of Zhu Zhanchun. Her maiden name is Li Yue. She is the daughter of a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. She was lucky this time. She married her daughter to Zhu Zhanchun, taking him with her. He was promoted to the third rank and is now an official from the fifth rank.

For officials in the Ming Dynasty, the fifth rank is a hurdle. Only after passing this hurdle can one be considered a high official. Whether he stays in the capital or is sent abroad, he can be regarded as a person.

Because of this, although Li Yue seemed to be Zhu Zhanqi's wedding partner, she was actually the most obedient and obedient of his three wives, and the one who behaved most like a prince or concubine.

After all, neither Meng Qinglin nor Lan Qier's background and education could make them behave like the daughter-in-law Zhang expected.

Lan Qier is a little better. Although she has been educated in Mongolian etiquette since childhood, she is more or less a noble girl. After learning the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, she is trying her best to adapt to the new etiquette requirements and living habits.

Although it hasn't been broken yet, at least on the surface, it seems to be passable.

But Meng Qinglin... Despite her gentle and delicate appearance in front of Zhu Zhancheng, she is still the Dragon Palace general who has fought for thousands of years to rise from the bottom to the top. She is not weak in nature.

It is because now that she has lost her body and has just been resurrected, coupled with the emotional connection between her and Zhu Zhanyu, and some secret tricks of Hu Shanxiang who is possessed by her, that she behaves weakly.It would be a big mistake to think of this as Meng Qinglin's nature.

"They are your newlyweds. Although they are all concubines, if you don't take them with you, it wouldn't be good to stay in the capital, right? If you take them with you, won't they also be able to take care of you? Staying in the capital will inevitably last for a long time. Separation will cause discord between you and your husband!" Mrs. Zhang felt sorry for her son after all, and she couldn't help but be a little worried about Zhu Zhanquan's move of leaving his two new daughters-in-law in the capital.

Zhu Zhanju just smiled at this and said, "Isn't it good to let them two accompany you, mother, so that they can fulfill their filial piety in front of you and father for me?"

As for Lan Qier and Li Yue, Zhu Zhanjuan really did not intend to take them to the Japanese country.

On the one hand, it was a matter of living habits. Lan Qier already suffered from severe acclimatization just after arriving in Nanjing from the Mongolian grasslands. Before the wedding, she had to be nursed back to health by the imperial doctor for a long time before she recovered.

This is because she has practiced martial arts and horse riding since she was a child, and has a strong body. If she were a weak Jiangnan girl like Li Yue, she would be seriously ill if she went to a place like the Japanese country, even if she didn't die happily.

Among the maids Zhu Zhanchen brought to the Japanese country before, one of them became seriously ill because she could not adapt to the local climate. If Zhu Zhanchen had not known about this and asked Hu Shanxiang to send her some elixirs, I am afraid that she would have died. He died of illness in Japan.

Therefore, instead of taking the newlywed wives to the Japanese country to suffer punishment, it is better to let them stay in the capital and fulfill their filial piety in front of the Zhang family.

After comforting Mr. Zhang, Zhu Zhanjun immediately added: "Besides, if you are really worried, mother, why don't you come with me to live in the fiefdom for a while? I have begged grandpa before, but he has no objection."

"Nonsense! Your daughter-in-law is not acclimated to the acclimatization and she wants to stay in the Ming Dynasty. How can your mother adapt to the acclimatization of the Japanese country?" Zhu Gaochi on the side was not happy and cursed at Zhu Zhankun.

After being scolded by his fat father, Zhu Zhanquan laughed: "Dad, have you forgotten? I worked as a fire boy for the Antarctic Immortal for the past eight years. Although I don't have this elixir of immortality, I still don’t lack the panacea to cure illnesses and save lives.

I left Lan Qier and Li Yue in the capital mainly to fulfill my filial piety to you two elders. If I really want to take them to the Japanese country, can it be that my majestic Prince Zheng's Palace cannot take care of the two princesses? "

When Zhu Gaochi heard what Zhu Zhanqun said, he also knew that it was unreasonable, so he didn't say anything more, but just looked at Zhang eagerly, as if waiting for her to make a decision.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Zhu Gaochi, and then said: "Why are you looking at me? Even if I follow my son to his fiefdom, will the Prince's Palace in the East Palace still be in ruins?"
Or are you saying that your prince is looking forward to me leaving so that you can go out and have a romantic life?I heard that you took the gold card given to you by Zhanjuan and went to Taoshui Pavilion every day to eat and listen to music! "

When Mrs. Zhang said this, Zhu Gaochi quickly turned away and muttered: "You are really a dog-faced person. It's okay for your son to be filial to you, but not to me..."

Seeing Zhu Gaochi being scolded by the Zhang family, Zhu Zhanquan hurriedly tried to smooth things over, and then said to Zhu Gaochi: "Dad, why don't you let my mother live with me in the fiefdom for a while? I can't tell Qinglin, Lan Qier and the others during this period. Now that I’m pregnant, it’s easier for my mother to help take care of her, right?”
