"My daughter has met the Empress..."

In the Queen's Palace, Zhu Qingyan saluted to Queen Li Juan'er. Li Juan'er looked at her with a smile. Although Zhu Qingyan was not born by Li Juan'er, Li Juan'er regarded her as her own child. She raised her in the Queen's Palace and grew up with the prince since she was a child. In comparison, the relationship was naturally different.

"Get up, come here to sit." When Zhu Qingyan got up, Li Juan'er waved to her and patted the seat beside her.

"Xie Empress." Zhu Qingyan sat down next to Li Juan'er with a smile. Li Juan'er looked at the child. In a blink of an eye, the doll had become a graceful girl. In addition, Zhu Qingyan was diligent in training at the Royal Academy and had no weakness in the deep palace, but instead had a heroic spirit.

"You haven't come to the Empress for some days." Li Juan'er said, holding her hand.

"It's my daughter's sin. My daughter has a lot of things in the college these days, so I'll have fewer visits to the Queen. After a few days, my daughter will definitely come to visit the Queen more."

"You, just say all this to lie to me." Li Juaner smiled and slapped Zhu Qingyan's hand and asked, "The internship application for college students has been reported. I heard that you will go to the Pacific Fleet in two months? By then, it will be difficult for the Empress to see you. Do you have more opportunities to come with me?"

"Empress..." Zhu Qingyan didn't expect that his lie would be exposed by Li Juan'er's words. He immediately felt a little embarrassed and took Li Juan'er's hand and acted coquettishly.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter whether you accompany me or not. After all, the child has to make decisions by himself when he grows up. Although you are a daughter, my royal woman is different. She is determined by a thousand miles aspirations, far more than ordinary men. The Empress is happy."

"Hehe, I knew that the Empress loved me the most. The Empress was the best in the world." Zhu Qingyan smiled and flattered her and quickly slapped her.

Smiling and shook his head, Li Juan'er said, "I asked you to come today to tell you that your father has agreed to the internship, not only you, but also your brother and second brother."

"Really? It's great!" Zhu Qingyan asked hurriedly. Seeing Li Juaner nodding seriously, she almost jumped up happily. Fortunately, she realized where she was now, not as casual as in the academy, but the indelible joy in her eyebrows was so excited.

Zhu Qingyan was actually a little worried about applying for an internship this time, and her concern was Zhu Yicheng. After all, a woman joined the Navy, which was no precedent in the Ming Navy, and she was also an important main fleet like the Pacific Fleet.

Although Zhu Qingyan knew that her father Zhu Yicheng loved her, she had different identities after all, so she was worried that Zhu Yicheng would jammed herself in the last step, or that she would not join the fleet but serve in other places.

But unexpectedly, his worries were meaningless. Zhu Yicheng was much more open than she thought and directly approved her internship. As for the prince and the second prince, even Zhu Qingyan's application was approved, where would there be any problems?

When Zhu Qingyan thought that she could join the navy immediately and fulfill her dream of roaming all over the world, she couldn't help but feel excited. If she hadn't been in the Queen's Palace, she would even want to cheer loudly to celebrate her dream about to be achieved.

"It's not as good as the palace in the army, and even the academy." Li Juaner said softly to Zhu Qingyan: "You are the daughter's family, no matter how strong you are, you are a woman. When you go to the army, you must understand the rules in the army, and don't rely on your identity to do inappropriate things. If you really can't stand it, just write to your father, or tell me the same, do you understand?"

"I understand, Empress, don't worry, Empress, I will definitely not let you down." Zhu Qingyan nodded seriously.

After patting Zhu Qingyan's hand, Li Juan'er nodded to the palace maid on the left. Then the palace maid walked down and soon came back with a wooden box.

This wooden box is very ordinary, just made of ordinary wood, and there are no carvings on it, which looks inconspicuous in the big room. After taking the wooden box, Li Juaner reached out to touch it, and seemed to be missing something in her expression.

"You can take this, it's a gift from the Empress."

"Is this..." Zhu Qingyan took the wooden box and was a little confused, but judging from Li Juan'er's expression, the things contained in this wooden box or the wooden box are not simple.

In Li Juan'er's encouraging eyes, Zhu Qingyan opened the wooden box. When the wooden box opened, Zhu Qingyan saw what was inside at a glance.

A monocular telescope, the body of the telescope is made of brass, looks very ordinary, and the lens is just ordinary crystal. This thing is very common in the army and is usually used by low-level commanders. If it is a middle-level commander, it will be much better than this telescope in terms of shape and quality.

"This was sent to me when your father just started the rebellion. It was after Yuan Qi's army was defeated in Hangzhou. Later, it followed me and your father to fight for a hundred miles. When he arrived in Ningbo, he went from Ningbo to Nanjing. After knowing that Nanjing was officially restored, it was collected and kept until now."

Li Juan'er's words surprised Zhu Qingyan. She never expected that this ordinary telescope had such a background. It can be said that it accompanied and experienced the Ming Dynasty from scratch. More importantly, it not only had such experience, but also was a personal belonging to Zhu Yicheng and Li Juan'er.

As the Queen of the Ming Dynasty, Li Juan'er's experience can be said to be a legend. An ordinary woman was able to help Zhu Yicheng, who was in the down-and-out army, and assist Zhu Yicheng in creating a situation of reviving the Ming Dynasty.

You should know that at that time, Li Juaner once personally picked up the sword and went to the battlefield. She can be said to be a man who is as good as a man. In addition, Li Juaner manages logistics and improves intelligence for Zhu Yicheng. Even the initial control of the Jinyiwei is in Li Juaner's hands.

It was not until Li Juan'er was officially named the queen by Zhu Yicheng that she took the initiative to completely withdraw from political affairs and no longer cared about those government affairs. Such a legendary woman is extremely rare for five thousand years.

"Empress, this is too expensive." Zhu Qingyan quickly refused.

"What is precious? It's just an object." Li Juan'er said with a smile: "Since you have gone to the navy, this thing can be used for you. Please accept it. This is not only what I mean, but also what your father expects of you."

Zhu Qingyan hesitated for a while and finally accepted the gift.

"Okay, I'll give you the gift, let's talk about your own affairs next." Seeing Zhu Qingyan accepting the gift, Li Juan'er said with a smile.

"My own business? What's the matter?" Zhu Qingyan was a little confused and asked immediately.

"What's the matter? It's your lifelong event."

"Empress, what are you talking about?" When he heard this, Zhu Qingyan's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but grab the corner of his clothes with both hands. His usual heroic spirit instantly turned into the appearance of his little daughter.

"Silly girl, don't you understand what I said so smart?" Touching Zhu Qingyan's head, Li Juaner asked with a smile: "Are you and Dong Hua from the Dong family in love?"

"Empress..."

After Li Juan'er said this, Zhu Qingyan's blushing head was about to hang down to the ground.

"The wife of Duke of Wei proposed to Dong Hua before, but your father has not agreed yet. That's because your father doesn't want you to marry someone you don't like, and the same is true for me. But if you like Dong Hua and think he is good, even if your father doesn't say it, the empress will agree."

Speaking of this, Li Juan'er sighed and said, "My daughter is growing up and she will get married after all. Although the royal daughter does not have to worry about marriage, your father and I still hope that you can marry well. Needless to say, Duke Wei's family background is worthy of my royal family. As for Dong Hua, I have also inquired about it. He is a good child. If you are interested, the Empress will make the decision on this matter for you. How about it?"

Zhu Qingyan didn't expect Li Juaner to say this so directly. Although she and Dong Hua were indeed in love, suddenly making it clear that Zhu Qingyan was at a loss.

For a moment, Zhu Qingyan didn't know whether he should have said it was OK or refused. From her heart, she naturally wanted to agree, but as the reservedness of her daughter's family, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Why? Do you look down on that boy from the Dong family? Since that's the case, I'll go back to this place to kiss." Li Juan'er waited for a while and saw that Zhu Qingyan had not spoken, so she immediately said deliberately.

"Empress, don't!"

At this time, how could Zhu Qingyan still be reserved? He hurriedly looked up and wanted to stop him.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Li Juan'er smiling at her, her eyebrows full of love. Zhu Qingyan realized that he was fooled by Li Juan'er in a hurry and immediately became coquettish.
