The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Night fell over the land, the wind howled and the raindrops as big as beans hit everything in the world. On such a stormy night, the princess walked alone on the muddy road. Her clothes were soaked by the rain, her hair was messy and stuck to her face, but her eyes were firm and unyielding.

The princess was originally on her way to travel when she encountered this sudden storm. It was pitch black all around, with only the occasional flash of lightning across the sky, lighting up the rugged road. Her steps became heavier, but her inner faith supported her to continue moving forward.

Finally, not far ahead, a dilapidated temple appeared in her sight. The outline of the temple looked particularly desolate in the wind and rain, like an old man shivering in the wind and rain. The princess quickened her pace and ran towards the temple.

The moment she stepped into the temple, she was greeted by an old and decayed atmosphere. The roof of the temple was leaking, and rain dripped down the holes, forming small puddles on the ground. The walls were mottled, and the erosion of time had blurred the originally exquisite murals, leaving only a few faint traces. The statues in the temple were even more incomplete, some had lost their arms, and some had damaged faces, which made people feel pity.

The princess looked at this scene, her heart filled with endless pity and sadness. She thought of her own palace, which was magnificent, warm and comfortable, and this temple was so dilapidated. She slowly walked to the statue, knelt on her knees, clasped her hands together, and prayed devoutly.

"God, please protect the people of this land from suffering and let them live a happy life." The princess said softly, her voice echoing in the empty temple.

After the prayer, the princess stood up and decided to rest here for a while. She found a relatively dry corner, sat down, and tried to sort out her thoughts. However, the dilapidated temple in front of her was always lingering in her mind.

"This temple must have been solemn and revered in the past. But now it has become like this. I must find a way to repair it and make the statue shine again." The princess made up her mind secretly.

The rain continued to fall, and the wind showed no sign of slowing down. The princess felt a chill coming over her, and she hugged her arms tightly, trying to keep herself warm. At this time, her stomach began to growl, and she was exhausted from the day's running around, and she was hungry and thirsty.

The princess looked around, hoping to find something to eat. In the corner of the temple, she found a shabby cabinet. When she opened it, she found some dried bread and a small jar of water. The princess was delighted and said gratefully, "This must be a gift from the gods."

She picked up the bread and took a bite. Although it tasted a bit rough, it made her feel extremely satisfied. After drinking a few sips of water, the princess gradually regained some strength.

The wind and rain were still raging outside, and the princess knew that she could not move in such weather, so she began to observe the temple carefully and think about the plan to repair it.

The temple roof needed to be re-tiled, the walls needed to be repainted, and the statues needed to be repaired by craftsmen. However, all of this required a lot of manpower and material resources. How should she do it? The princess fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, she thought of her identity. As a princess, she could ask her father for help. Although her father might be angry because she went out without permission, she believed that as long as she explained the reason, her father would definitely support her.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in the princess' heart. She decided to return to the palace immediately after the storm subsided and tell her father about the situation here.

While waiting, the princess was not idle. She found some rags and pieces of wood and tried to stop the leaking roof. Although the effect was minimal, she still tried her best.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind and rain gradually subsided. The princess stood up, walked out of the temple, and took a deep breath of fresh air. The sky began to clear up, and the sun shone through the clouds, bringing a touch of warmth to the earth.

The princess looked into the distance, her heart full of anticipation. She knew that the road to repairing the temple was still long, but she was ready, and she would not give up no matter how great the difficulties were.

The princess set out on the journey back to the palace, feeling particularly heavy-hearted. She thought of the incomplete statues in the temple and vowed to restore them to their former glory.

After several days of traveling, the princess finally returned to the palace. She did not have time to change her clothes, and hurried to see her father.

The father was distressed and angry when he saw the princess in such a state. "How could you be so willful and go out without permission, making your mother and I worry so much?" the father scolded.

The princess knelt down before her father and told him everything about her experience in the storm and the situation of the temple. "Father, that temple was once a spiritual sustenance for the people, but now it is so dilapidated. I really can't bear to see it. I ask you to give me help to repair the temple." The princess said with earnestness in her eyes.

The father was silent for a moment after hearing the princess' words. He looked at the princess's determined eyes and felt relieved. "My daughter has grown up and has a kind and compassionate heart. Okay, I agree to your request." The father said.

The princess was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly thanked her father. "However, you must plan this matter carefully and not be careless at all," the father warned.

The princess nodded in agreement and began to prepare for the restoration of the temple. She summoned craftsmen and painters and worked out a detailed restoration plan. At the same time, she also personally went to the people to raise funds and materials, and received strong support from the people.

Thanks to the princess' efforts, the restoration of the temple finally began. The craftsmen were busy working, the tiles on the roof were replaced one by one, the walls were repainted, and the statues were gradually restored to their former appearance under the careful restoration of the painters.

The princess came to the temple every day to supervise the progress of the project. She worked and ate with the craftsmen without any airs. Seeing the princess's dedication, the people admired and loved her even more.

After several months of hard work, the temple was finally restored. On a sunny day, the princess held a grand opening ceremony. People came from all directions to witness this sacred moment together.

When the statue shone again, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers. The princess looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with joy and pride.
