Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Seeing Yunxi like this gift so much, Ye Linger felt relieved and said quickly, "As long as Sister likes it."

The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Ye Ling'er looked around and made sure that no one else was present. She suddenly stood up, walked to Yunxi, and knelt down with a plop. With tears in her eyes, she choked and said, "Sister, it was my fault before. I believed the slander of the traitor and misunderstood that you wanted to snatch the little prince. Now I know I was wrong. Please punish me, sister!"

Yunxi was startled and quickly helped Ye Ling'er up, comforting her: "Sister, get up quickly. Let the past be the past, we will still be good sisters in the future."

Ye Ling'er wiped her tears, nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will never trust others easily again and will protect myself well. I also hope that sister can forgive my previous mistakes."

Yunxi patted Ye Ling'er's hand and said gently: "Silly sister, I don't blame you. It's because we are just concubines living in the harem, born in this dynasty where men are superior to women. As long as you are fine in the future, we can live happily together, which is the best. Our parents outside the palace also hope that we can support each other in the palace and live happily!"

Ye Ling'er was moved to tears after hearing this, and nodded repeatedly in thanks. From then on, the touched Ye Ling'er and Yunxi became a pair of close sisters. They supported each other and faced various challenges in the harem together. In this place of intrigue and scheming, they protected each other with sincerity and kindness, becoming a unique and beautiful scenery.

As time went by, Ye Ling'er and Yunxi's feelings became deeper and deeper. However, the struggle in the harem never stopped.

One day, the emperor suddenly came to Changle Palace. After all the serving maids and eunuchs left, the emperor showed a mysterious look on his face and whispered to Yunxi: "My beloved, now the world is peaceful, I really want to go out of the palace incognito and visit the people. I remember that I once visited Jiannan Road incognito... It was all because of you, my beloved!" As he spoke, an indescribable smile appeared on the emperor's face.

The emperor seemed to be lost in deep memories, and continued, "Back then, because I missed my beloved concubine, I traveled thousands of miles to Jiannan Road, a bitter and cold place, but I saw the hardship of the people's lives and understood their sufferings.

So, I made up my mind to do something for the people. Later, after I returned to the palace, I began to implement reforms, reduce taxes, and improve people's livelihood.

Although these measures have been opposed by some people, I firmly believe that as long as they can make the people live a good life, it is worth it. "At this point, the emperor's eyes flashed with determination and pride.

The emperor went on, "Now that I am over thirty years old, I feel a great sense of responsibility. I hope to learn more about the people's sentiments and opinions so that I can better govern the country. Therefore, I have decided to go out of the palace incognito again, go deep into the people, and understand their needs and expectations. This time, I will take you with me so that you can also feel my philosophy and determination in governing the country." After saying that, the emperor held Yunxi's hand tightly.

Yunxi listened to the emperor's words, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that she had always loved this man, not only because of his handsomeness and elegance, but also because of his wisdom, courage and responsibility. At this moment, she was willing to go with him to witness his way of governing the country and jointly create a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

So Yunxi smiled and nodded to show her agreement. The emperor laughed happily and took Yunxi's hand and walked out of Changle Palace.

They will put on civilian clothes and embark on a journey full of expectations. They may encounter many difficulties and challenges on this journey, but they believe that as long as they have faith in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties and realize their ideals and ambitions.

After the emperor and Yunxi dressed up, they quietly slipped out of the palace and came to the bustling market in the capital. The two walked slowly on the street hand in hand, looking at everything around them curiously.

Yunxi stopped from time to time to talk with street vendors, carefully asking about the prices of various goods and business conditions. The emperor listened quietly, his eyes flashing with concern for the people's livelihood.

As they walked along, they heard bursts of noise. Suddenly, a large group of people gathered in front of them and formed a circle. Driven by curiosity, the emperor and Yunxi squeezed in and saw a troupe of actors setting up a stage for a performance.

On the stage, actors dressed in gorgeous costumes sang, recited, acted and performed stories of joy and sorrow. The audience was mesmerized, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying.

The emperor and Yunxi were infected by the lively atmosphere and immersed in the wonderful performance. This opera tells a story about the fierce struggle between good and evil, and good eventually triumphs over evil, which resonates strongly with the audience.

After watching the play, the emperor was deeply moved. He held Yunxi's hand and said softly: "The people all yearn for fairness and justice and hope to live a better life. As the king of a country, I must work hard to make this country better so that every citizen can live and work in peace and contentment."

Yunxi nodded, showing her understanding and support. She knew the emperor's ambitions and ideals, and was willing to accompany him to work hard to achieve these goals. She believed that as long as the two worked together, they would be able to achieve great things.

In the following days, the emperor and Yunxi continued to wander around the capital, where they witnessed the hard work of farmers, the honest transactions of merchants, and the profound knowledge of scholars. Each scene made them feel the diligence and wisdom of the people, and made them more convinced that the Tang Dynasty had unlimited potential.

Through this incognito visit, the emperor had a deeper understanding of the real living conditions of the people and strengthened his determination to govern the country. He realized that as a ruler, he should not only have lofty ideals and ambitions, but also care about the sufferings of the people and listen to their voices. Only in this way can he truly put the people first and make the country prosperous.

The emperor decided to return to the palace and convene ministers to discuss reforms. He also proposed a series of policy measures aimed at improving people's livelihood, promoting economic development, and strengthening education.

At the same time, the emperor also decided to order the strengthening of the assessment and supervision of officials, severely punish corruption and ensure the integrity of the court. He believed that only by establishing a team of loyal, clean and responsible officials could we better serve the people and promote the development of the country.

What they saw and heard made the emperor and Yunxi full of confidence in the future of the country. They decided to govern the country more attentively and seek the welfare of the people after returning to the palace. They believed that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to make the country more prosperous and powerful, and let the people live a happy and fulfilling life.
