A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 136 Little Princess, did you hear that? Our Daqing now has its own magnificent warship.

When Consort Liu was summoned, she had already changed into men's clothing and was heading to the Ministry of Works.

She is pregnant, but she is only three months along and her belly hasn't started to show yet, so she just needs to be more careful and it won't affect anything else.

Moreover, the child is very well-behaved. Since becoming pregnant, Liu Chenfei has not experienced morning sickness, except for some drowsiness.

Upon hearing that His Majesty had summoned her, Consort Liu felt somewhat puzzled, thinking that there must be some urgent matter at hand, otherwise His Majesty would not have summoned her at this time.

Therefore, Consort Liu did not linger and did not even change out of her men's clothing before following Liu De to the Imperial Study.

Emperor Xuanhe had seen Consort Liu dressed as a man before, but perhaps because of her beauty, he was still amazed every time he saw her.

"How is Shushu's health now? Is the child bothering you?" Emperor Xuanhe stepped forward, put his arm around Consort Liu's waist, and asked gently.

"I am perfectly healthy, and the child is well-behaved and doesn't cause any trouble."

"That's good."

"By the way, Shushu, how are the warships you built at the Ministry of Works doing now?" Emperor Xuanhe asked again about the main point of his summons to Consort Liu today.

"The first warship is almost finished. If there are no problems after the sea trials, we will continue to build the second and the third..."

Emperor Xuanhe breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this result.

He took Liu Chenfei's hand and said, "Shushu, thank you for your hard work."

Emperor Xuanhe knew that the development of this warship was largely thanks to Liu Shu; otherwise, even with the blueprints, it was unknown how long it would have taken for the people in the Ministry of Works to research it.

"Your Majesty, is something the matter?" Consort Liu knew Emperor Xuanhe well.

She noticed the worry in Emperor Xuanhe's eyes.

Emperor Xuanhe did not hide it from Consort Liu.

"I have received reliable information that the Chen Kingdom is expected to take some action at the beginning of the year..."

Upon hearing this, Consort Liu understood.

Chen Guo and Daqing are separated by only a sea.

If Daqing loses to Chen in the naval battle, then Chen's navy will launch a large-scale invasion of Daqing.

The only way to defend against the State of Chen is to either block or overpower the Chen navy in naval warfare.

Throughout history, Daqing has rarely won naval battles against Chen Guo.

Especially in the last twenty years or so, because Chen's warships were advanced, its navy was brave and skilled in naval warfare, Daqing was completely crushed by Chen.

Although Emperor Xuanhe said that the Chen Kingdom would take some action, Consort Liu knew that it was definitely more than just taking some action.

The Chen army is so brutal that if they were to advance unimpeded, the people of Daqing would face slaughter.

Consort Liu finally learned the reason why Emperor Xuanhe had summoned her today.

"Your Majesty, our warships are now capable of completely overwhelming the Chen Kingdom. As long as these warships can be delivered there, we have nothing to fear from the Chen Kingdom."

The only shortcoming at present is that there aren't enough warships...

Currently, the first one is not yet completed, nor has it been tested in the water.

"Your Majesty, I will have the Ministry of Works expedite the process and strive to produce at least five warships by the end of the year."

If we had five warships, then facing the Chen Kingdom's navy wouldn't be so scary.

"With the end of the year fast approaching, is five ships even possible?"

"And you're pregnant..." Later, your belly will get bigger, and then it won't be so convenient.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the shipbuilding project truly needed Consort Liu, Emperor Xuanhe wouldn't have wanted her to go.

Especially since she was pregnant, it must have been so tough for her.

Consort Liu grasped Emperor Xuanhe's hand, her eyes filled with deep affection and determination. "Your Majesty, Shushu is willing to build ships for Daqing and for Your Majesty, and she doesn't find it hard work. Five ships, if we squeeze in some time, it's doable."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Shushu. If you feel unwell, be sure to tell me."

"Ah."

Now that she had a goal, Consort Liu didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly left the Imperial Study. After returning to the Ministry of Works, she led her staff to start working overtime.

In the imperial study, Emperor Xuanhe picked up his pen and wrote a letter.

This letter was addressed to Yue Jinyu and Ji Boxi.

Emperor Xuanhe wanted to tell them about the Chen Kingdom's invasion early the following year, and wanted to see which of the two men was more suitable to go there and fight the Chen Kingdom.

After finishing writing, Emperor Xuanhe let out a long sigh.

This is destined to be a battle full of unknowns and difficulties. We don't know what Yue Jinyu and Ji Boxi are thinking, nor do we know what the outcome will be.

"This letter should be immediately sent by fast horse to the border, to General Yue and General Ji."

"Yes."
-
Just a few days after Emperor Xuanhe sent out this letter.

News came from the Ministry of Works that Consort Liu Chenfei said the first warship had been completed and was now ready for sea trials.

The sea trial is a very important stage.

Emperor Xuanhe naturally wanted to go.

He also invited his own little princess to go with him.

Emperor Xuanhe was too busy, so he never went to check on the shipbuilding process.

They entrusted everything to Consort Liu with peace of mind.

Although you can tell from the blueprints that this warship is extraordinary.

However, Emperor Xuanhe was still shocked when he saw the actual object.

"Wow, what a huge ship!" Sui Sui was also amazed.

The officials from the Ministry of Works were also delighted when they heard Emperor Xuanhe and Princess Fuqing's exclamations.

Although the warship could be built, the biggest project was undertaken by Consort Liu.

But they were also involved.

Therefore, when His Majesty and Princess Fuqing praise them, they should take it as a compliment.

When the auspicious hour arrived, the boat was launched amidst the loud announcement of Emperor Xuanhe and the sound of gongs and drums.

When you see it underwater, climb on it, and experience its navigation and various functions.

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes were slightly red.

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that our Daqing warships are definitely better than those of Chen!"

"We no longer need to fear the Chen Kingdom's navy," Old Master Li said excitedly.

"Good, good, good," Emperor Xuanhe said three times.

He was so excited that he picked up Sui Sui and exclaimed, "Little Princess, did you hear that? Our Daqing now has its own amazing warship!"

"We no longer need to fear the State of Chen."

Sui Sui was startled when she was suddenly picked up by her emperor nephew.

However, she also felt quite good about the sudden increase in height.

Moreover, it feels quite nice to be held.

In addition, the emperor's nephew was very happy at this time, and Sui Sui was also very happy.

So, Sui Sui reached out and patted his head, saying, "Yes, Daqing is the best!"

Sui Sui clenched her little fists, her eyes full of confidence.

Emperor Xuanhe was speechless. His little princess was really confident. He was quite realistic.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu, Daqing was considered the most powerful country in the world. But now, Daqing is just a dilapidated ship that needs repairs. He really doesn't dare to make such a boast.

However, he will work towards that goal.
