Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Upon waking, Xiaodong looked inside the tent and lay down for a moment before sitting up. Little Milk Bag looked at Xiaodong and said, "Brother, it's time to get up. We have to get going." "Yeah." Chai Zhen also woke up, thinking back to the night. He smiled and got up. It was the clothes he had worn yesterday. Little Milk Bag brought out the laundry, neatly folded. He left his pajamas in the space. The three of them left the tent, and Chonghua saw them emerge from it. It was just as magical as what he had seen a few days ago, and he remembered it. "Uncle Chai, has it eaten?" "Eat, everyone, and then we'll get going." Xiaodong took the leftover mutton from last night, roasted it over the fire, and shared it with everyone. No one asked, they just ate. He felt happy; it was so delicious. The bodyguards all knew that life was like traveling. There was nothing wrong with taking a long, slow journey. After eating and drinking, the fourth brother called for packing and it was time to hit the road.

Just like this, a month and a half passed, and it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. They finally arrived in the capital on this day. The secret leader had already reported to the emperor two days before and sent a letter. This long team attracted too many people to watch. From a distance, they could see that there were many people waiting here under the Ten-Li Pavilion. They came forward one after another, including those from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works, all in a very proper manner, because they saw that the emperor was also in the crowd in casual clothes, standing with a woman who was wearing a veil and could not see her face. She was dressed like a woman from an aristocratic family. No one could guess who she was. The convoy came to the front and stopped just a few steps away. The fourth brother got off the car. Ye Heng stepped forward and said, "Fourth uncle is here, who else is here?" Jia Yu said, "Grandpa, Guoguo, Xiaodong, the village chief, and the county chief, Uncle Huo, are all here." The fourth brother shouted, "Get out of the car." The little kid dragged Xiaodong over the moment the car stopped, and shouted from a distance, "Brother Ye, brother Ye, Guoguo is here to see you." Ye Heng: "Guoguo is here, don't you miss your mother?" "Yes, but I miss brother Ye too." Ye Heng laughed and picked up the little kid, "Let your brother see, you've grown up after not seeing you for a few months, and you can even walk." "Yeah, Guoguo is always learning, learning." Ye Heng looked at Xiaodong and whispered to the emperor, "Brother, this is Xiaodong." The emperor had seen him a long time ago and thought, he looks so much like him. "You're Xiaodong, aren't you?" Xiaodong bowed. "I'm Chai Xiaodong, Xiaodong, you're honored." Empress Lucy knew Xiaodong was her son the moment she saw him. Silent tears streamed down her face, wetting the ground. The Emperor tugged at her. "My son," the Empress whispered. "Your Majesty, I'm glad to see you." The Empress sobbed. The Emperor patted her. "Don't cry. Look at the child. He's well-dressed and looks good, which means he's doing well." Everyone knelt on the ground. The Emperor said, "Rise up, Yan Nation! You're a blessing to Yan Nation. I'm deeply comforted that you brought me such good things from so far away." "Let's go into the city." "Old Man Chai, take the children to the carriage up ahead!" "Okay," she said, picking up the little boy and pulling Xiaodong along. The Empress hurried forward, leading the way. "Old Man, take this one." "Okay," Chai Zhen said. The maid had already set up the stools. Little Naibao got on first, followed by Xiaodong. "Old man, please get on." "Hey, hey," Chai Zhen followed, followed by the Empress, the Emperor, and Ye Heng. The driver sat outside. "Let's go," Ye Heng said. The carriage started moving, followed by a motorcade and officials, a mighty procession. Along the way, the sounds of hawkers hawking in the streets filled the air.

Inside the carriage, the Queen took off her veil, her face filled with tears. "Auntie," the little one cried. "Auntie," Ye Heng said, "Guoguo, call her Queen." Lu Xi: "Why call her Queen when she's so young? Call her..." She didn't know what to call her, and the Emperor said, "Just call her..." "Uncle Chai, what do you call her in your hometown?" Chai Zhen: "We call her Auntie, Auntie, and Auntie." "Just call her Auntie," Lu Xi said. "Your name is Guoguo, right?" "Yes, Auntie, how do you know my name?" Lu Xi said, "Auntie just knows." She looked at Xiaodong and said, "I also know his name is Xiaodong." Xiaodong also said, "Hello, Auntie." Lu Xi's tears flowed silently. The little boy looked from Xiaodong to Auntie, then to the Emperor, "Ah!" and quickly covered her mouth, as if she knew a secret. "Brother Xiaodong, hug me." Xiaodong picked up Guoguo, "Sister, brother hugs me." "Kissing her sister's forehead. The little girl snuggled into her brother's arms, afraid that he would disappear. The Queen saw that the two children had a good relationship. She also wanted to hug Xiaodong, her child. The Emperor understood the Queen's thoughts and said, "Let's talk about it in your palace." "Yes."

The carriage entered the palace and stopped at the Empress's residence. The Emperor dismounted first, while Ye Heng had already dismounted halfway. He led the convoy to a stop in front of the main hall to direct the unloading of the carriages. The Empress, Xiaodong, and Chai Zhen also dismounted. They all entered the palace, where maids served tea and snacks. The Emperor said, "Everyone, please leave. Xiaowen will guard the main hall entrance." The Empress embraced Xiaodong and said, "My son! I'm sobbing..." The words faltered until the Empress finished her outburst, then she wiped her eyes. "My son, your mother has finally found you." Lu Xi stared at Xiaodong, her eyes fixed on him. The Emperor then said, "Everyone, please sit down," and slowly began to tell the story. "Twelve years ago, Lu Xi lost the child on her way to her mother's home outside the palace. Twelve years have passed!" The Emperor wiped a tear from his eye. Xiaodong was twelve years old, but he looked only eight or nine. Even at the Chai family's well-fed home, he had grown taller in the six months of care. It was clear how much the child had endured, but Chai Zhen thought about it but dared not speak. The queen stood up and knelt down in front of Chai Zhen. Chai Zhen was so scared that he knelt down quickly. The emperor helped Chai Zhen up. "Uncle, you deserve it." Lu Xi said, "Thank you for saving my son. If you are my second parents, today I, Lu Xi, will recognize you as my father. Please accept my worship!" "Okay, old man, I recognize you!! Okay, Lu Xi, you stand up, I recognize you. Xiaodong calls me great grandfather." The emperor said, "Change, Xiaodong, change your words and call me grandpa." Xiaodong was still in a state of shock and not fully awake. The little milk bag shouted, "Brother Dong, call me grandpa." "Okay, grandpa is good. In fact, great grandpa is also good." The little milk bag said, "Just call me grandpa. Your mother is my great grandfather's daughter, and he found a sister for my mother. Hahahaha" The little milk bag laughed. The queen looked at the little guy, sat down, and picked up the little milk bag, "Call me Guoguo!" Yes, Queen Mother." Lu Xi teased Guo Guo, "Brother Xiaodong calls me Queen Mother, um, that is, mother. You call Xiaodong Brother, shouldn't you call me Mother?" "That's right!" Everyone in the room laughed. Lu Xi: "Then you can call me Queen Mother too." The little kid thought about it and said, "Okay, Queen Mother." "Hey," Hahaha!! Making everyone laugh, Lu Xi took out a pair of jade pendants given to her by her parents, and put one on Xiaodong and one on Guo Guo. "This is given to me by my parents. I'll give it to my child today." Chai Zhen also saw that it was a valuable item. But he couldn't give anything. He felt a little embarrassed. The emperor said, "Uncle Chai, your family donated the waterwheel, and your family has made great contributions. I don't know how to thank your family. Now you have saved my son. You have done a great job! If you have any problems in the future, come to me, and I will do my best to help!" Chai Zhen: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" "Don't thank me, I should thank you."

Lu Xi looked at Xiaodong and hugged the children to her side. One on each lap, two in each hand, as if holding the world's treasures, Xiaodong felt very satisfied. This was his mother, he also had a mother. Xiaodong had a smile on his face. He was happy to be in the Chai family, and he felt close to them, but it also felt very different. It was close, he was very satisfied to have so many people treating him well. He felt complete. The emperor had something else to say, "For safety, everyone will eat here. I have to go out for a while and come back later." Chai Zhen: "Your Majesty, please go and do your work. I will go with you, I have something else to do." "Okay, let's go out. Let the children stay here." "Okay."
