Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Yun Yuxi was dressed in a bright red dress, like a red plum blossom in the cold wind, her hair that fell like a waterfall was tied up high, fluttering gently in the breeze. She led the way, riding a horse and galloping out, followed closely by a group of brave and fearless companions.

The roads outside the city were already crowded with people who came to see them off, carrying baskets of all kinds, filled with their own treasured eggs, fragrant bacon, and all kinds of precious items. People's faces were filled with sincere smiles, their eyes were shining with tears of excitement, and some even couldn't help shedding tears of joy.

When Yun Yuxi saw this scene, a warm current suddenly surged in her heart, and her eyes became moist involuntarily. She quickly turned over and dismounted, walked towards the crowd with firm and light steps, and talked cordially with every villager.

The people of Lingcheng rushed to pass the baskets to Yun Yuxi, Lingyi and others, as if they wanted to put all their gratitude into it. Yun Yuxi and others looked at the eggs in the baskets that the people were reluctant to eat, the attractive bacon, the fragrant bacon chicken, and the delicious rolls made by the kind old mother. They were all moved, their eyes were red, and their noses were sour.

Yun Yuxi strode to the front of the team, gathered her inner strength, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, please go back! We have already appreciated your kindness. Saving Lingcheng and resisting the plague is our unshirkable responsibility. Now is the time of cold weather, fellow villagers should quickly put away these items, after all, the end of the year is approaching, these good things should be kept for family members to share together!" Before she finished speaking, her voice was already choked with sobs...

The more sentimental women lost control of their emotions in an instant, tears burst out like a dam breaking, and they sobbed: "Princess, please accept it! These are all sincere gifts from everyone! Even if each family only gives one egg, it will be great!" Magistrate Wang's voice had become hoarse and choked, he tried hard to control his excitement and continued to persuade.

Yun Yuxi gazed at the people in front of her who were in the cold wind, with haggard faces but full of enthusiasm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She raised her voice and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, please stop arguing! Each family only needs to place an egg here. We understand your deep affection, but from Lingcheng to Kyoto, the mountains are high and the roads are long. It is really inconvenient to carry too many items. I hope that you elders and villagers can understand." After speaking, Yun Yuxi jumped lightly on the horse's back and slowly moved forward. Along the way, she kept nodding and smiling to the people on both sides.

The simple and kind people consciously lined up in a long queue and placed their prepared gifts neatly in the designated position of Zero One. Among them, there was an old woman with gray hair and patched clothes, holding a ragged little girl tightly, and walked to the front with a staggering step. The old woman carefully held up the precious egg, as if she was holding the whole world in her hands, and then solemnly put it down gently. This scene made everyone present unable to suppress the surging emotions in their hearts, and they burst into tears. Even the young Zhao Yun couldn't help crying at this moment, and was deeply moved by this sincere friendship.

The people of Lingcheng expressed their sincere and deep gratitude and thanksgiving to Yun Yuxi and his party with practical actions. These simple and kind people took out the most ordinary farm objects in their homes, which were full of life, as gifts. Although each household could only contribute one item, when all the gifts were gathered together, they filled up ten full carriages! Faced with such a heavy friendship, Yun Yuxi couldn't help but secretly made up his mind: no matter what, he must let the high-ranking Emperor Su Wen - the emperor who was in a high position but could hardly understand the suffering of the people, taste the eggs produced by ordinary people in person, and feel the unique flavor of the bacon and bacon that were regarded as treasures by poor people and even reluctant to enjoy them easily for a whole year.

At this moment, a figure came into view - Wan Bo led a group of people and walked slowly towards where Yun Yuxi was. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Princess, please stop for a moment! Gentlemen, please stay for a moment!" Hearing this call, Yun Yuxi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward to support the thin and frail old man in front of her with white hair. She asked with concern: "Old man, I wonder if there is anything that I need to do for you?" Her words revealed endless concern.

Wan Bo shook his head gently and said sincerely, "Princess, these are all made by the common people of Lingcheng, including the officials of all ranks, the wealthy merchants and the respected gentry in the city, who worked tirelessly day and night to make the Hundred Family Clothes and the Umbrellas!"

As soon as the words fell, two burly and strong young men came forward quickly. They worked together to open the huge umbrella for all people and carefully raised it over Yun Yuxi's head. The umbrella was densely covered with names, as if carrying the expectations and blessings of countless people. Then, two dignified and elegant ladies stepped forward and gently put on the patchwork clothes full of warmth and care for Yun Yuxi.

At this moment, Yun Yuxi's emotional dam finally broke, and she could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart. She hugged one of the ladies tightly, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string, making waves of sobbing. Those huge tears seemed to be made up of endless sadness and emotion, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not stop them from flowing.

Seeing this, the people around rushed forward and put the carefully made patchwork clothes on Yun Yuxi and his entourage. Even those seven-foot-tall men who were usually upright could not help but be deeply moved by the scene before their eyes. Their eyes gradually became moist. They bowed to everyone frequently, full of gratitude, and sincerely thanked these kind-hearted, simple and innocent people.

At this moment, Prefect Wang led officials of all levels in Lingcheng and many common people to kneel on the ground, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, we have an umbrella of the people specially prepared for the current emperor. Please bring it back to Kyoto and present it to His Majesty!" For a moment, the shouts shook the earth and resounded through the sky, as if to convey this sincere respect to the capital thousands of miles away.

"Long live the emperor," two guards then opened a Ming Dynasty-colored umbrella with names written all over it. On the umbrella cloth, the embroiderer had embroidered a few large characters: "Long live the emperor!"

Yun Yuxi glanced at Prefect Wang. The grateful look in her eyes put Prefect Wang at ease. She thought to herself, "Wang Qingsong is a promising talent. I will make sure Your Majesty recruit him for my own use after I return. He is so thoughtful that he was afraid that Your Majesty would be wary of me, so he came up with this idea. He is really a wonderful person."
