"Thank you for your trouble, Butler Chen. I think this place is very good. Peilin, Dali, and Uncle Huang, what do you think?”Han Peiwen said.
"It just needs to be sorted out properly and arranged reasonably.”Uncle Huang thought for a moment and said.
"That's what I mean." Han Peilin said.
"I think the wormwood here can still be used as firewood.”Hu Dali's words made everyone laugh.
"That's true. He really made the best use of everything."
"That's right, it's a good idea to turn waste into treasure.”
"And those doors and windows need to be repaired. Some places are no longer useful.”
"Then, it's settled. Everyone, come and tidy up tomorrow.”Chen Ping was also very happy to see everyone's excited look.
"There's no need to wait until tomorrow. Brother Peiwen and Uncle Huang will go back first. Peilin and I will pull out the withered grass first. It was easy to pull grass, and he didn't need any tools.”Hu Dali was really quick with his words, swift and decisive. As he spoke, he had already begun to pull out the weeds.
"That's fine. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to come and help. Bring a few knives to use.”Chen Ping said.
"Uncle Chen, there's no need to help. Bring some tools for us to use. We should have enough manpower.”Han Peiwen laughed at himself.
"Alright, everyone can go back. We'll clean up tomorrow. Speaking of cleaning, shouldn't he bring some daily necessities such as brooms and wooden buckets?”Yun Xia suggested with a smile.
"There's no need to bring a broom. I've already seen many iron brooms in the courtyard where the servants live. They're a type of herb that can be used as a broom.”，Just chop a few to make brooms." Hu Dali looked confident.
The empress dowager and the emperor looked at the thing in Yun Zaitian's hand and looked at each other in disbelief.
"Mother, don't you think this jade pendant looks a bit similar?”The Emperor took the jade pendant from Yun Zaitian's hand and looked at it carefully, showing an incredulous expression. He raised his head to look at the empress dowager, stammering as he spoke. However, a trace of joy and surprise flashed through his eyes.
"It's not a little similar, it's exactly the same. This widow personally put this jade pendant on him!”The empress dowager took the jade pendant from the emperor, her hands trembling with excitement.
"Mother, are you sure?" The Emperor hurriedly asked.
"That's right! It definitely couldn't be wrong! But…but why did Minister Yun have this jade pendant? Where did you get it?" The Empress Dowager suddenly thought of asking Yun Zaitian how he got this jade pendant.
"Yes, why does Minister Yun have this jade pendant?”The Emperor stared intently at the jade pendant in the Empress Dowager's hand. It was a white jade pendant. The strange thing was that the surface of the jade pendant was warm and smooth, but there was a faint five-clawed golden dragon inside. It was a five-clawed golden dragon that shook its head and wagged its tail as it soared in the clouds.
"May I ask?" Yun Zaitian said after pondering for a moment.
"If you have anything to say, please ask!" The Emperor's tone was somewhat anxious.
"Dare I ask if this jade is related to the royal family?”
"That's right. This is an item that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Long family. Moreover, it was originally a pair with the brocade wind jade pendant in Yun 'yatou's hand.”The empress dowager put down the jade pendant in her hand and said softly.
"Then, why did this jade pendant end up outside the palace? Who was it originally worn by?" Yun Zaitian was trying to get to the bottom of it.
"It was originally worn by Second Prince Feiyu. Minister Yun must still remember the chaos in the palace back then, right?”The Emperor sighed, his thoughts sinking into his memories.
"Speaking of that turmoil, I still remember it vividly. Remember that I was guarding the border on behalf of my father who had retired and returned to his hometown. I have to report urgently that I have hurriedly led the army to return to the capital.”Yun Zaitian shook his head.
"This jade pendant was left outside the palace with my son during the chaos. So many years have passed, I wonder if Feiyu is still alive? How did this jade pendant end up in your hands? Could it be…?" As the Emperor spoke, he suddenly revealed a look of surprise. He thought that since there was a jade pendant, the owner of the jade pendant might be safe and sound.
" Speaking of the owner of this jade pendant, the Emperor has met him several times…" Before Yun Zaitian could finish, he heard the Emperor say,""What is it? Have I met the owner of the jade pendant?"
"Yes, but he doesn't know about the existence of this jade pendant..."
"Then who is he?" The Emperor seemed to be somewhat anxious.
"Yunfei! It was Yun Fei, who was currently outside with the King of Qin.”Yun Zaitian finally revealed the answer that the empress dowager and the emperor were eager to know.
"What? It was him? What was going on? And how old is that Yunfei this year?" The Emperor became even more anxious when he heard this.
"Let this lowly official slowly explain. This matter has to start from more than ten years ago.”
That winter.
On a snowy morning, in front of the Yun Mansion in Dali, Yunnan Province, a young woman and a child fainted on the ground under the gate tower that was slightly sheltered from the wind and snow. When Master Yun heard the servant's report, he instructed them to carry the woman and child into the manor and settle them in a side room for treatment. Unfortunately, the woman's body was too weak due to hunger and cold. Before she could regain her consciousness, she swallowed her breath. On the other hand, the child was fine because the woman was keeping him warm in her arms. Under everyone's careful care, he quickly woke up. The child woke up and cried,"Auntie! Aunt! I'm hungry!" The doctor told Old Master Yun that the child's body was very weak because of hunger. As long as he was carefully recuperated, he would be able to recover quickly.
Master Yun asked Chen Ping to carefully check the woman's bag. He found that in the bag, there were two sets of old but clean clothes and only a carefully wrapped sachet. When he touched the sachet, he felt that it was very different from the common sachets. He opened the sachet and found a jade pendant, a very beautiful five-clawed golden dragon jade pendant. Because the woman hadn't had the time to explain their origins, and now that they had discovered this unusual jade pendant, Old Master Yun concluded that there must be something fishy about this child's identity. Therefore, Old Master Yun kept the child in the manor and carefully hid the jade pendant.
Not long after that, there was news that there was unrest in the palace. Master Yun was worried that his old injuries would relapse and finally fell ill. He could not wait for his son Yun Zaitian to return before he passed away. Before his death, Master Yun entrusted the child to Chen Ping and gave the jade pendant to him for collection. He told Chen Ping to hand over the child and the jade pendant to Yun Zaitian and gave the child the name Yunfei.”He told Chen Ping,"This child will definitely be extraordinary in the future!"”
"Emperor, this is how we took Yun Fei in. A few days ago, when I saw the jade pendant that the Empress Dowager had given Cai Xia, I felt that something was amiss. No matter how I looked at it, I felt that these two jade pendants had a great relationship. Therefore, I have the courage to bring the jade pendant to see the emperor today because I'm afraid that after returning to the border, I don't know when I'll return to the capital.”Yun Zaitian explained.
"In that case, Yunfei is the Feiyu from back then?”the empress dowager muttered to herself.
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong! The time was right, the age was right, and the jade pendant could not be wrong. Back then, it was Nanny who took Feiyu away. Mother, don't you agree?" The Emperor was so excited that he was incoherent.
"It probably can't be wrong! The child had been following Minister Yun all these years?”The empress dowager asked.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager's words, that is the case. Yun Fei had always been by my side, and he had never slacked off in his martial arts practice.”Yun Zaitian replied respectfully.
