Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 357 Disaster Relief and Snow Removal
Baili Ye said in a gentle voice:
"We will continue to shovel snow in a while. If you are curious, you can take a look. However, all villages are severely affected by the snowstorm now. We must quickly get involved in clearing snow and rescuing the injured and houses.
Let’s get to work!”
After saying that, Baili Ye and Qinghe got on the snowplow again. "Let me drive this time!" Baili Ye suggested.
"Okay, I'll be there to assist you."
Baili Ye successfully started the bulldozer according to Qinghe's method.
Baili Ye was a little unfamiliar with driving and shoveling snow at first, but with his excellent comprehension ability and Qinghe's careful guidance, he quickly mastered the key points.
Under his control, the bulldozer shoveled up a pile of snow vigorously. With the roar of the engine, the snow was pushed to both sides of the road like waves.
He kept his eyes focused, staring at the road ahead, his hands steadily controlling the steering wheel and joystick, and every movement was precise and decisive.
The cold wind was still howling, but Baili Ye was not affected at all. Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them off.
Qinghe reminded him from time to time to pay attention to the angle and strength, and Baili Ye was able to make adjustments quickly.
As time went on, the bulldozer moved faster and faster, clearing longer and longer roads.
When the people along the way saw Baili Ye's skillful operation, they applauded and cheered for him.
"The prince is really amazing!"
"With this thing, the snow can be cleared faster, and we can complete the task faster!"
"Yeah, I never thought we could see such a magical thing. It really opened my eyes."
Amid the praises from the crowd, Baili Ye's confidence grew stronger. He knew very well that for every inch of road he cleared, the people would be able to return to their normal lives sooner.
So, he did not stop for a moment, and continued to drive the snowplow hard, moving forward firmly towards the snow ahead.
An hour later, the roads in the remaining two towns were also cleared.
The rescue workers and villagers started a new day of rescue work. The rescue work in each village was carried out in an orderly manner. With the participation of the rescue workers, the buried villagers in each village were quickly rescued.
If there are villagers who are rescued and whose conditions are serious and cannot be treated by the imperial doctors, a signal flare will be released. After Baili Ye receives the signal, he will rush over with Qinghe and Qinghe will treat them.
The roads were cleared, the trapped people were rescued, and the situation in the affected areas gradually improved.
Baili Ye and Qinghe did not stop, they began to organize villagers to repair the damaged houses.
They organized local masters with experience in house building to form a construction team.
After the snowstorm, the whole area was in ruins.
Collapsed houses, broken tiles and mountains of snow can be seen everywhere.
Baili Ye and Qing He led the rescue team to check the affected houses one by one. Those houses that were severely damaged and uninhabitable were marked and given priority for cleaning and reconstruction;
For those that can still be repaired, detailed repair plans have been drawn up.
The repair work was carried out with difficulty in the severe cold.
The workers of the construction team wore thick gloves and were busy among the cold tools and materials.
In order to rebuild the house well, Qinghe took out cement and antifreeze from the space to prevent the cement from freezing.
They added special antifreeze agents during mixing; in order to ensure the quality of construction, each process was strictly checked.
Baili Ye personally participated in the work of moving wood and bricks and stones, and his figure became an inspiration to everyone.
Many difficulties were encountered during the renovation process.
The snow kept sliding down, bringing danger to the construction;
Low temperature reduces the viscosity of the material and slows down the construction progress.
But everyone did not back down, they encouraged and helped each other.
"Work harder and repair the house sooner so that everyone can go home earlier!" Baili Ye shouted loudly.
After several days of hard work, the damaged houses gradually returned to their original appearance.
The new roof was strong enough to withstand the cold wind. The villagers did not have time to wait for the house to dry, so they burned firewood in the house to dry it.
The new house blocks the invasion of cold air, and warmth returns to people's homes.
When the last house was renovated, people cheered.
The children were laughing and playing in the newly built yard, and tears of gratitude were sparkling in the eyes of the adults.
In this cold winter, although the snowstorm brought great damage, people's hearts were warm and grateful with the rescue from the court.
"Aye, I think we should tell the villagers more about how to prevent snow disasters, so that they can be prepared when they encounter similar situations in the future." Qinghe said while sorting the medicinal herbs.
"Xiao He, you are right. Once the house is almost repaired, we will start doing this." Baili Ye responded.
After Qinghe and Baili Ye had spread disaster prevention knowledge to everyone, the rescue work was nearing completion.
During the seven days, Qinghe not only helped with reconstruction, but also provided regular follow-up examinations for patients in the disaster area.
Finally the disaster relief was over, Qinghe and Baili Ye prepared to return to Beijing.
On the early morning before departure, the sun tried hard to penetrate the clouds and shine on this land that had just experienced hardships but was regaining vitality.
County Magistrate Huang led many people to wait outside the city early, ready to see them off.
When Qinghe and Baili Ye appeared, the crowd burst into warm cheers.
County Magistrate Huang stepped forward and bowed deeply to the two men, his voice choking with sobs:
"Your Majesty, Princess, this is a great favor that the people of this county will never forget."
Qing He smiled and said, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate is too kind. This is what we should do."
Baili Ye said in a clear voice: "I just hope that the weather here will be good from now on, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."
The people came forward one after another, holding their own local specialties in their hands.
An old lady was holding some small items, such as home-made insoles and handkerchiefs embroidered with auspicious patterns, and wanted to give them to Qinghe and Bailiye as souvenirs.
She held Qinghe's hand, her eyes full of reluctance:
"Princess, you and the prince are both good people. This is the handkerchief I embroidered myself. You must accept it."
Qing He took the handkerchief with emotion and said, "Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. Please take care of yourself in the future."
An old man came forward tremblingly and handed them a basket of fresh eggs:
"My Lord and Princess, I hope you will accept this gift."
Qing He quickly declined: "Old man, please keep it for your health. We appreciate it."
At this time, a man with gauze wrapped on his head came over with an old man. When he came up to him, he knelt down and thanked him:
"I would like to thank you, Princess, for saving my family's lives. If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago, not to mention that you gave birth to a big fat grandson for us. I will never forget your kindness."
It turned out that this was An Cui's husband and father-in-law. Qing He helped them up and said with a smile:
"Hurry up and get up. The ground is cold and it's not good for your recovery."
"Thank you, Princess."
Seeing this, the people gathered around and expressed their gratitude one after another.
"Thanks to the prince and princess, we were able to survive this disaster."
"May the prince and princess have a safe journey."
Qinghe and Baili Ye said goodbye to the people one by one, and then mounted their horses.
County Magistrate Huang and the people who came to see him off knelt down together to bid farewell: "Farewell, Prince and Princess!"
Qinghe and Baili Ye quickly dismounted and helped Magistrate Huang and the people up.
"Everyone please stand up quickly, this is not allowed." Baili Ye said.
Qing He looked at the people in front of him, his eyes slightly red: "Fellow villagers, everyone must live a good life, we will always be thinking of you."
After saying that, Qinghe and Baili Ye got on their horses again and moved forward slowly with the rescue workers who came with them.
The people followed behind until their figures disappeared at the end of the road.
Everyone walked together to the place where the plane landed, boarded the plane again, and returned to the capital in high spirits.
When they returned to the capital, they were warmly welcomed by the people of the capital. When the emperor heard of their return, he immediately summoned them to the palace.
Baili Ye and Qinghe brought their entourage to the palace as representatives and met the emperor in the imperial study.
"My sons and ministers see my father. Long live my father. Long live my father."
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
"My dear ministers, please don't bow. Just stand." The emperor was in a good mood and laughed as he told everyone to stand up.
The emperor looked at everyone with a sharp gaze and praised them:
"You have performed well in this disaster relief effort, sharing my worries and solving problems for the people. This is truly a great achievement!
Prince Chen and Princess Chen led by example and did everything themselves, fully demonstrating the royal style.
Especially Princess Chen, who is compassionate and saves the dying and the wounded, and is worthy of being called a virtuous concubine.
And all the people who accompanied me have done their best, which comforts me very much."
Baili Ye cupped his hands and said, "Father, your majesty is too kind. As a prince, I shall serve you and the people."
Qing He also bowed slightly: "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. I am only trying my best to help you."
Everyone also said: "It is the duty of the humble minister to share the worries of the emperor."
The emperor nodded and continued, "You all have made great contributions to this disaster relief effort. I will certainly reward you generously to honor your achievements."
Everyone knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
emperor:
“Propagate my decree. This time, Ling County suffered a snowstorm. Chen Wang Baili Ye provided disaster relief in a well-planned manner and cared about the people. I hereby grant him a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade, and an additional fief of a thousand households.
Princess Qinghe of Prince Chen was kindhearted and capable of saving people from disaster. She was given a thousand taels of gold, a box of jewels, and a hundred pieces of brocade.
The rest of the entourage were rewarded, promoted to higher positions, and given 100 taels of gold and 100 pieces of brocade as a reward. "
Everyone was excited and expressed their gratitude again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live the Emperor!"
The emperor smiled and said:
"Everyone, get up! This disaster relief trip has also allowed me to see the unity of our subjects.
I hope you will continue to serve the court and benefit the people in the future."
Everyone responded in unison: "We will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations!"
The emperor discussed with everyone the follow-up disaster relief and post-disaster relief matters, as well as how to prevent such disasters from happening again, and ordered Baili Ye to write a memorial and submit it.
Afterwards, everyone left the imperial study, and Baili Ye and Qing He were left behind to chat.
The emperor smiled and said:
"Ye'er, Qinghe, your mother is very worried about you when you go to Ling County to provide disaster relief. She is afraid that you will not eat well and rest well. It is a good opportunity for you to have dinner with your father and the queen today."
Baili Ye and Qinghe quickly responded, "Yes, Father."
Everyone moved to the Queen's Palace. The Queen had been waiting for a long time. When she saw the two people coming in, she immediately walked up to them, took their hands, looked them up and down, and said distressedly:
"You've lost so much weight. It's only been a few days and you've lost so much weight. It looks like you've suffered a lot this time."
"Mother, we are doing well, but we are a little busy and sometimes we don't have time to eat."
"Now that you're back, you should take good care of yourself these few days. The New Year is coming soon, and your mother doesn't want to see you look so skinny.
Ye'er, Qinghe, come and sit down." The queen greeted them kindly.
Everyone took their seats one by one, and the table was filled with exquisite dishes.
The queen kept picking up food for Baili Ye and Qing He, her eyes full of concern, and she kept muttering:
"Qinghe, you've worked hard in the disaster area these days. You need to eat more to replenish your body."
Qing He smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, mother."
During the dinner, the Emperor and the Empress frequently asked Baili Ye and Qinghe about their experiences in the disaster area. The two of them described their experiences in detail, and the Emperor and the Empress nodded and sighed from time to time.
"The Queen and I are very pleased to see you working so hard," said the Emperor.
The queen picked up a piece of fish and put it in Qinghe's bowl: "Qinghe, try this fish, it's very fresh and tender."
Qing He thanked the Queen and savored the food gently.
During the meal, the family laughed and talked happily, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After the meal, the Queen held Qinghe's hand and gave her detailed instructions on some trivial matters in life, while Baili Ye discussed state affairs with the Emperor.
As the hour grew darker, Baili Ye and Qinghe bid farewell to the emperor and the queen and left the palace.
The emperor said kindly: "Yer, Qinghe, you have worked hard this time. Go back and have a good rest. We can talk in the palace again after you have rested well."
Baili Ye and Qinghe said goodbye to the emperor and the queen, left the palace and returned to the prince's mansion.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, we saw that everyone in the palace had already lined up neatly on both sides, and everyone's face was filled with joy and admiration.
"Welcome back, His Majesty!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the palace.
The butler stepped forward first, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and said:
"My Lord, Princess, you are finally back. We have been worried about you for the past few days."
Baili Ye smiled and said, "My prince and princess are back safely. Sorry for making everyone worried."
Qinghe also smiled and nodded to everyone.
The crowd surrounded Baili Ye and Qinghe and walked into the palace.
"Thank you for your concern. The prince and I are safe. Let's go now."
After everyone saluted, they left.
As Qinghe and Baili Ye entered the hall, maids brought them hot tea and snacks that had been prepared long ago.
"Has everything been alright in the mansion these days?"
The housekeeper said respectfully, "My Lord, Princess, everything is fine in the mansion. We are looking forward to your return."
He took a sip of tea and said, "During this period, the affairs of the mansion have been taken care of by you."
The butler bowed quickly:
"Princess, you are too polite. This is what I should do. My Lord and Princess have already had their meals in the palace. Do you need me to prepare them for you?"
