The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

On a sunny weekend with a gentle breeze, the sky was as blue as a gem, and wisps of white clouds were floating leisurely, as if it was an ink painting casually painted by nature. The streets and alleys of the city were filled with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and Lin Xiao was full of expectations and excitement, walking briskly towards the cafe where she had agreed to meet with her girlfriends.

The café is like a quiet haven in the bustling city, located on a quiet and peaceful street. There are several pots of beautiful and fragrant flowers placed at the door of the store. They sway gently in the breeze, as if whispering welcome words to passers-by. The windows of the café are hung with soft light yellow curtains. The delicate texture and warm color give people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Lin Xiao gently pushed open the quaint wooden door, and the bell hanging on the door instantly made a clear and pleasant sound, like a lively welcome song. She looked up and saw her best friends Huang Xiaoqian and Tang Xinrui sitting in the corner with smiles on their faces. Their faces were filled with smiles as bright as the sun, and their eyes were shining with the excitement of meeting each other after a long separation.

As soon as they met, the besties couldn't wait to stand up and hugged Lin Xiao tightly in their arms like a torrent of enthusiasm.

"Lin Xiao, long time no see, I missed you so much!" Huang Xiaoqian hugged Lin Xiao tightly, her voice filled with irrepressible joy. The tone of her voice seemed like jumping notes, cheerful and pleasant.

"Yes, Xiaoxiao, you are finally here!" Tang Xinrui also echoed. Her voice was gentle and sweet, and her eyes were shining with excitement, like bright stars.

Lin Xiao felt the warm and powerful embrace of her besties, and her heart was instantly filled with emotion and joy, as if a warm current was flowing slowly in her heart. "I miss you too!" she said, her voice choking with excitement, and her eyes moistened unconsciously.

The three of them released the affectionate embrace, and sat down slowly with laughter. Lin Xiao gently brushed away the strand of hair that was gently blown by the breeze, and her face was filled with a happy smile like a blooming spring flower.

"Lin Xiao, you must have experienced a lot of exciting things in the Tang Dynasty!" Huang Xiaoqian asked impatiently, her eyes filled with childlike curiosity and anticipation, as if she couldn't wait to uncover a mysterious treasure.

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded slightly, then sat down gracefully on the soft chair, and ordered a cup of fragrant and mellow coffee from the waiter. She gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon, and her thoughts seemed to be brought back to the days and nights of the Tang Dynasty by this gentle stirring.

"In Tang Dynasty, I met many like-minded friends." Lin Xiao's eyes revealed deep memories, as if those familiar faces appeared before his eyes, "We come from different backgrounds, some are from famous families, some are from poor families, but we all have the same ardent dream, which is to work tirelessly to improve our lives."

"Can you tell us something in detail? Stop keeping us in suspense!" Tang Xinrui held her chin with both hands and looked at Lin Xiao expectantly, like a little girl who was eager to hear a story.

Lin Xiao took a sip of the steaming coffee and said with a smile: "Once, I met a woman named Wan'er. She was born in poverty, but she had a talent as bright as the stars and a courage as strong as steel. We met at a poetry reading. It was a poetic and romantic night. The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard like water, and the poets chanted the splendid chapters in their hearts. We were attracted by each other's talents and soon became close friends who could talk about anything."

"What happened next? Keep going!" Huang Xiaoqian asked anxiously, her body leaning forward unconsciously, her eyes full of impatience.

"Later, we found that the local farmers' harvests were not satisfactory due to their backward planting techniques. Seeing their hard work but unable to fill their stomachs, we felt sorry for them. So, we decided to work together to help them improve their planting methods." Lin Xiao's voice was filled with passionate enthusiasm, as if he had returned to the time when he was fighting for his ideals.

"Wow, that must have been difficult, right?" Tang Xinrui couldn't help but sigh, her eyes revealing her imagination and sympathy for that difficult journey.

Lin Xiao nodded gently, her eyes became deep and firm: "Yes, at the beginning, the farmers did not believe that we two weak women could have any good ideas. Their eyes were full of doubt and hesitation, and they turned a deaf ear to our suggestions. But we did not give up at all. Through continuous experiments and personal demonstrations, we sweated in the fields, failed again and again, and tried again and again. Finally, hard work pays off. When the first batch of experimental fields achieved remarkable results, the heavy ears of wheat swayed in the wind, as if nodding to us in thanks. The farmers finally saw the magical effect of the new method, and they all cast their eyes of admiration and gratitude to us."

"That's great! You guys are amazing!" Huang Xiaoqian clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes full of admiration for Lin Xiao and Wan'er.

"There was also a scholar named Zixuan. He had a handsome face, and his eyes were full of determination and intelligence. He was determined to change the fate of himself and his family by passing the imperial examination. We often gathered in that quiet academy or in the secluded bamboo forest to discuss knowledge, encourage each other, and chase the dawn of our dreams together." Lin Xiao continued to tell the story, his voice full of nostalgia for that pure friendship.

Tang Xinrui was fascinated by what she heard. Her thoughts seemed to fly to the Tang Dynasty as Lin Xiao told her story. Suddenly, she blinked and asked curiously, "Were all the men in the Tang Dynasty handsome?"

Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was as clear as a silver bell: "The men of the Tang Dynasty have their own unique charm. They are either elegant and graceful, or bold and unrestrained. But they are still different from the handsome men of today. Most men in the Tang Dynasty paid attention to etiquette and cultivation, and their every move showed elegance. Their poems, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting all showed a deep cultural heritage. But modern handsome men also have their own charm, such as fashionable clothes, confident personalities and a way of thinking that keeps up with the times."

"Haha, so that's how it is." Huang Xiaoqian said with a smile, a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.

The girlfriends chatted with each other, and the cafe was filled with laughter, just like a stream flowing happily in spring, crisp and beautiful.

"Did you meet a man you liked in the Tang Dynasty?" Tang Xinrui suddenly blinked mischievously, with a gossipy look on his face.

A blush like the sunset instantly appeared on Lin Xiao's face, with a bit of shyness and sweetness: "Well... there is a young man named Ling Feng. He is elegant and talented, like a character walking out of poetry and painting. We strolled together under the flowers and the moon, and experienced ups and downs together. Those beautiful moments are still vivid in my mind." Lin Xiao's eyes became a little blurred, as if she saw Ling Feng's gentle smile again.

"What happened next?" Huang Xiaoqian asked with concern, her voice full of concern.

Lin Xiao sighed softly, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes: "In the end, due to the helplessness of reality and the tricks of fate, we still couldn't walk hand in hand to the end. But the time we spent together has become the most precious memories in my heart."

"Oh, don't be sad, you're back now, maybe you'll meet someone better!" Huang Xiaoqian hurriedly comforted her. She held Lin Xiao's hand tightly, trying to give her warmth and strength.

"Yes, Xiaoxiao, you still have us! We will always be with you." Tang Xinrui also held Lin Xiao's other hand tightly, his eyes full of determination and support.

Lin Xiao nodded, his heart filled with warmth and gratitude: "Thank you, I feel extremely happy and at ease with you by my side."

"By the way, Lin Xiao, did you learn any special skills in the Tang Dynasty?" Huang Xiaoqian asked curiously, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Lin Xiao thought about it, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes: "I learned embroidery and making sachets. Women in the Tang Dynasty were very good at these skills, and I learned a lot from them. The delicate needlework and exquisite patterns, every stitch and every thread contain endless thoughts and emotions."

"That's amazing! Can you show it to us?" Tang Xinrui said expectantly, his eyes full of longing.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, I'll wait for the opportunity."

Unconsciously, time flies by in the laughter of my besties. The sunlight outside the window gradually becomes softer, like a thin layer of golden gauze, sprinkling on the table of the cafe, forming a piece of dreamy golden light spots.

"Oh, time flies!" Huang Xiaoqian glanced at her watch inadvertently and couldn't help but exclaimed, her face full of reluctance and nostalgia.

"Yes, it's really fun to chat with you today. I feel like I'm back to the carefree days of the past." Lin Xiao said with emotion, his eyes full of nostalgia for that wonderful time.

"Then let's make an appointment next time!" Tang Xinrui said, his tone full of anticipation.

The three of them stood up and hugged each other tightly again, as if to freeze the warmth and friendship of this moment in their hearts forever. Then, Lin Xiao left the cafe with full of warmth and precious memories. Her steps were light and firm, and her heart was full of anticipation for the next gathering.
