My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.
Chapter 494 Gratitude
If we're talking about the largest place in the palace, then it has to be the Fengtian Hall.
All the grand ceremonies of the State of Qi were held here.
King Jing of Qi fled the palace in haste, causing chaos within. Later, numerous monsters broke into the palace, causing immense damage.
Ji Yunshuang had only been living there a short time, and there were still many places that needed to be cleaned. She stayed in the Yu Chen Palace, which was less damaged.
Meetings were usually held in the study of the Imperial Palace.
As for the palace renovation, she wasn't in a hurry and planned to deal with it later. Now that the guards had received orders to find a large place to store the fruit, they naturally thought of Fengtian Hall.
The damage to the Fengtian Hall was considerable, but they are not required to repair it now, only to tidy it up, which will not take much effort.
While the soldiers were tidying up the Fengtian Hall, General Yao, Zhu Qi, and others also received orders and entered the palace one after another.
Upon hearing that they were to go to Beiguan, take control of the military power there, and lead the soldiers on patrols, immediately exterminating any monsters they encountered to protect the safety of the people, General Yao and Zhu Qi readily agreed.
Then, Ji Yunshuang began to talk about the various arrangements for going to Beiguan.
After discussing the important matters, Ji Yunshuang looked at Zhu Qi and asked with concern, "Minister Zhu, have the injuries of your family members stabilized?"
Zhu Qi's family suffered considerable injuries during their escape, and Ji Yunshuang distributed pills to each family member.
It was thanks to the medicine given by Ji Yunshuang that Zhu Qi's family was able to survive.
Zhu Qi was very grateful to Ji Yunshuang. When Ji Yunshuang asked about his family, Zhu Qi quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thanks to the divine medicine bestowed by His Majesty, their injuries have stabilized."
"It's good that the injury is under control." Ji Yunshuang personally helped him up and said, "When you go back later, take a few baskets of fruit with you and say goodbye to your families properly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" General Yao and the others knelt down to express their gratitude.
Ji Yunshuang personally distributed the fruit to them.
General Yao and Zhu Qi were among the first generals of the Zhou Kingdom to surrender to her, and both were exceptionally capable.
Ji Yunshuang also distributed more, giving out three large baskets of each of the more common fruits, such as oranges and pears.
Strawberries and cherries, fruits that are extremely precious and rare in this era, were also divided into two small baskets each.
The group took the fruit that Ji Yunshuang had given them home, which stunned everyone in her family.
These families were once considered noble and meritorious in Qiongdu. They not only owned their own estates, but King Jing of Qi also frequently bestowed gifts upon them.
But I have never seen so many kinds of fruit before.
Not only were there many kinds, but the rewards were also plentiful.
In the past, during the New Year, King Jing of Qi would often bestow a table of dishes upon the families of his ministers, and sometimes also some fruit.
However, fruit was difficult to grow, and not much was offered as tribute to the palace.
Such rare fruit was only given as a token gift by King Qi Jing, perhaps in the form of a basket or a dish, to show his appreciation for it.
This was the first time they had ever seen a reward given in such a large quantity, like this.
The current emperor is not only of noble birth and a good person, but also generous to his subjects.
Those who received the rewards all expressed their gratitude.
Besides praising Ji Yunshuang's kindness, people were also full of curiosity about the fruits bestowed upon them. Many of them were fruits they had never seen or tasted before.
No one knows how to eat these fruits.
At this moment, Zhu Qi's mother, Xu, looked at the strawberries and cherries with great curiosity and asked her son, "What kind of fruits are these?"
"His Majesty said these are strawberries and cherries. These two fruits are delicate and should be eaten as soon as possible."
After introducing the strawberries and cherries, Zhu Qi pointed to the oranges and pears and said, "These fruits keep longer, so you can eat them a little later."
"Alright, alright, then let's eat strawberries and cherries first! Her Majesty is an immortal, and these fruits she bestowed are all celestial fruits."
As she spoke, Madam Xu called over a few of her daughters-in-law and said, "Take this and distribute it so that everyone can share in the divine energy."
When the Zhu family fled, many of their servants were killed by the monster while trying to protect their masters.
In addition, two of Xu's biological sons died, and many of his grandchildren were injured.
This calamity has severely damaged the Zhu family.
After Ji Yunshuang and her men completely wiped out the monsters in Qiongdu, everyone moved out of the refugee camp and could return to their own homes. Those whose homes had been completely destroyed could stay at the refugee camp for now, with further arrangements to be made later.
The Zhu family's house was damaged, but not too badly, so they moved back home.
Although they moved back home, there were not many servants left. The masters of the Zhu family now do many things themselves.
After the wives divided the strawberries and cherries, everyone immediately and carefully began to enjoy them.
"So sweet!" Mrs. Xu exclaimed in surprise. "I have never eaten such delicious fruit before. My little one, come and have a taste too."
As she spoke, she handed a large strawberry to Zhu Qi.
Since the deaths of her eldest and third sons, Mrs. Xu has often been in tears, lost her appetite, and become very thin.
Zhu Qi was always worried about his mother's health.
Seeing that his mother was willing to eat the fruit and even showed a surprised expression, Zhu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
I am increasingly grateful to Ji Yunshuang.
He took the strawberries his mother handed him and said, "They're delicious, Mom. You should eat more."
Ms. Xu then started eating cherries.
Seeing his mother's joy, Zhu Qi couldn't bear to tell her about his impending departure for Beiguan. But it was an order from His Majesty, and he had to carry it out.
He eventually brought up the matter of Ji Yunshuang sending him to Beiguan.
Hearing that her son was going out on another adventure, Madam Xu was naturally heartbroken. Zhu Qi's wife, Madam Ran, was also filled with worry.
But everyone knew in their hearts that it was Ji Yunshuang who saved their whole family. If it weren't for Ji Yunshuang, they would have been dead by now.
And now, other families may be facing the same predicament they once faced. If no one comes to their rescue, they may not survive.
Moreover, this is an order.
Therefore, although they were worried, none of them voiced their concerns. They all reassured Zhu Qi that they would take good care of the family and ensure his safe return.
Zhu Qi kowtowed three times to his mother and promised, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely. Please take good care of yourself."
After saying that, he stood up and looked at his wife and children.
Mrs. Xu waved her hand, signaling them to leave so that the couple could have a proper talk.
After bowing to Madam Xu, the couple took their child back to their own courtyard. Madam Ran was busy helping Zhu Qi pack his clothes, but Zhu Qi pulled her aside and said, "No need to pack, His Majesty has already made preparations and will distribute clothes to every soldier going to Beiguan."
Upon hearing this, Lady Ran hurriedly asked, "Is it the kind of protective clothing His Majesty is wearing?"
She had seen the protective suits worn by His Majesty and the soldiers of Zhou before.
They heard that the material of the clothes was something they had never seen before, incredibly powerful. Even the monster's sharp teeth couldn't budge it an inch.
Many people speculated that the protective suit was a divine artifact.
If her husband could wear such clothes, her safety would be greatly guaranteed.
