The Yue Emperor Ji Wenjing did not have many women in his harem. There were only the Empress and four concubines. The Empress and Concubine Ru were biological sisters. What made him regret was that he had eight princesses but no princes. Fortunately, the State of Yue was more open-minded and could pass the throne to the Crown Princess. The first three princesses were already married, and they fought openly and secretly for the throne. Ji Yuhui was an 18-year-old princess. Ji Yulei, 16 years old, is the daughter of a concubine. Ji Yufei, 14 years old. Ji Yuwei, ten years old. Ji Yuguan, seven years old.
At this moment, the Imperial Palace of Yue was filled with joy and excitement.
Ji Wenjing sat on the dragon throne. Beside him were the Empress and the four concubines. Below him were the Princess and the Prince Consort, as well as the important officials of the court and the distinguished guests of Liang and Xia. Ji Yuhui, Ji Yulei, Ji Yufei, and the talented and good-looking young lady were performing for the guests. The guests were attracted by many members of the opposite sex. Their hearts rippled like stones falling into a calm lake, causing ripples on the surface of the water. The three princesses even had the thought of changing their son-in-law.
Gao Ximing and Leng Xin Tian were exchanging glances. Gao Xili noticed Leng Aotian, who was dressed as a guard, and recognized him as the white-robed man from that day. His bearing was extraordinary, and his eyes were like torches. Gao Xili vaguely guessed Leng Aotian's identity. Leng Aotian did not avoid his gaze. Shangguan Yu was absent-minded, thinking about other things. The distinguished guests did not even look at the peerless beauty who was performing in front of them. Sigh, the girl's heart was broken. The falling flowers had feelings, while the flowing water had no intentions.
"Prince Li, I feel more and more that Xiaobei is my sister.”Shangguan Yu whispered. The longer he spent with Song Xiaobei, the more he felt for her.
"Yu, haven't we discussed this before?" Gao Xili pondered for a moment.”
Shangguan Yu and Gao Xili had said before that if Song Xiaobei did not come from the modern era, Gao Xili would also think of her as that "she".
"Xiaobei looks like my mother. I've always wanted to look like my sister. She should be like this when she grows up.”
"Xiaobei comes from a very special place and is not from the same era as us. This is why her words and actions are clearly different from ours. However, she did mention that she was adopted by the Xia family when she was two years old.”
Song Xiaobei was the core of the problem, and they were prepared to find time to talk to her.
Gao Xili and the others were absent-minded and indifferent to the banquet. Song Xiaobei and the others were very busy packing their luggage because they were going home the next day.
……
After breakfast, the large group of people was ready to go. Leng Xin Tian and the others came over to bid farewell to them. Song Xiaobei was a little uneasy. Gale usually liked her very much. As long as she got close, it would gently rub its head against her. At this moment, it was clearly agitated. Dogs barked wildly, and a large number of rats appeared…something was wrong!
"Earthquake!" Song Xiaobei thought of the huge disaster that happened a few years ago. Her expression changed drastically and she blurted out. She said to Gao Xili anxiously," Dear, quickly arrange for people to chase the people in the house out immediately. It doesn't matter if they are threatened or intimidated." Tell them to leave the house immediately. The house is about to collapse, and many people will die.”
There had never been an earthquake in Liang and Xia, so they didn't know what an earthquake was. Everyone could see the abnormal behavior of the animals. Without any delay, Leng Aotian and the others joined in, spurring their horses forward. The staff of the Courier Station also joined in. The people in the room didn't know what had happened. Although they were unwilling, they were still scared out by the bright swords in their hands. The children were crying and someone was scolding them. Suddenly, the shaking under his feet became more and more obvious. Then, the house collapsed like a chain of dominoes. In the blink of an eye, it was turned into ruins. The people were terrified. Only then did they realize that they had just escaped death and were full of gratitude to their savior.
Ji Wenjing led some of the ministers and soldiers to rush over. He felt slightly comforted when he saw the people kneeling on the ground. Leave the aftermath to the Prime Minister. The soldiers were busy saving people in the ruins.
The posthouse staff thought that Gao Xili was a prophet and informed the Emperor of Yue.
"Thank you, Prince Li, for saving my people. It's all my fault for being incompetent. Zhen has let down Yue Country." Ji Wenjing said, and one could feel the sadness in his tone.
When his imperial grandfather was in power, he lost his virtue in his later years. The heavens were angry and there was once an earthquake. People usually associate disasters with the virtue of the monarch. Therefore, he worked hard to be a good emperor.
"Emperor of Yue, you don't have to blame yourself. The earthquake had nothing to do with humans. This is a natural phenomenon. It is the vibration of the earth beneath our feet. It's so quiet that we can't feel it. If there was a huge commotion, it would become a disaster. It happened in many places in the world, sometimes on land, sometimes in the sea.”Song Xiaobei explained.
"This is Song Xiaobei. She told us that the commoners could escape this calamity.”Gao Xili introduced the Emperor of Yue to the extraordinary woman in everyone's eyes.
Song Xiaobei was about to bow when Ji Wenjing stopped her.
"Young Lady Song is Yue Country's great benefactor. Zhen will give Young Lady a gift. In Yue, seeing this is like seeing me.”As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to Song Xiaobei.
The accompanying officials knew that this piece of jade had been treasured by the Emperor of Yue for many years and that he wanted to give it to the future prince. However, he gave it to a woman he had only known for a moment. She was also from Liang. They were all very surprised.
Ji Wenjing did not give the jade on a whim. He had seen countless people and knew that Song Xiaobei was telling the truth. Saying these words in public gave Ji Wenjing great comfort, and the worries in his heart were swept away.
"Many thanks, Emperor of Yue." Song Xiaobei kept the jade pendant.
The soldiers had already rescued a few of the injured, and the Imperial Physicians of Yue Country and your Imperial Physicians were busy saving them. Song Xiaobei volunteered to help. She had forgotten about her illness and became the doctor's assistant. King Leng was so nervous that her heart was in her throat. She was only slightly relieved when she saw that Song Xiaobei was fine. Gao Xiyue also wanted to help, but she was frightened by the blood gushing out of the wounded. Song Xiaobei asked her to boil the medicine with Ling Long and the others.
The situation was critical and everyone lent a helping hand. Leng Aotian and his brother were no exception. When he saw Guan Supeng, who was involved in the rescue, he understood that " he " was here for " her."
Liang, Yue, and Xia had never worked together to fight the disaster. When the people learned that the imperial families of Liang and Xia were helping them, they were encouraged and joined in. Rescuing people, setting up tents, preparing food, clothes…The work was intense, busy, and orderly.
The nobles in the city also donated money and goods to take in some of the wounded.
Leng Xintian saw Gao Xiyue boiling and feeding the medicine to the wounded, and did what servants did without even frowning. He couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.
After a busy day, everyone only had dinner at night. Gao Xiyue smiled as she drank porridge and ate steamed buns. She wanted to be confident and free like her sister.
"Princess is a woman who is not inferior to a man. I was rude the other day. Please forgive me.”Leng Xintian said sincerely and bowed.
"Same here, same here."
The two of them laughed and buried the hatchet.
……
Everyone gathered around the fire to warm themselves. The children cried non-stop. Some people were reluctant to part with their little belongings and sighed. Many people were sad and secretly cried.
Song Xiaobei held a little girl in her arms and sang slowly,"
I come from chance, like a speck of dust
Who can see my weakness?
Where did I come from, where did my love go?
Who will call me in the next moment?
Although the world is wide, this road is hard to walk
I've seen all the hardships in this world
How much love do I have, how many tears do I have?
I want the heavens to know that I won't admit defeat
A grateful heart, grateful for you
Stay with me all my life, give me the courage to be myself
A grateful heart, grateful to fate
Flowers bloom and fade, I will still cherish them
……
The children stopped crying and everyone was immersed in the song. They understood that their survival was the greatest gift from the heavens. Everyone was touched, no matter which country they were from. Guan Supeng's heart was filled with emotions. He really wanted her to embrace him, but he knew that he was not worthy. He was very dirty.
Song Xiaobei saw the child in her arms smiling cutely and sat down.""Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who went out to sea to fish every day. His wife is spinning and weaving at home..."She used several different voices to talk about" The Fisherman and the Goldfish."Everyone listened to her with rapt attention, and the children giggled. Song Xiaobei then talked about " The Emperor's New Clothes." Everyone laughed and thought about the expression of a king who was not wearing clothes.
It was late at night, and many people began to enter the tent to rest. Gao Xili and the others returned to the posthouse. Some of the buildings were made of wood and were basically unaffected. Song Xiaobei was so tired that she fell asleep the moment she laid on the bed. He was very worried that she would have nightmares and paced outside the door several times. Fortunately, she was safe the night before.
The next day, everyone threw themselves into the intense battle again. More soldiers and nearby doctors were involved. Two people were found in the ruins. They were mother and son. The mother was already dead, but before she died, she still protected the child in her arms. The child was protected by his mother and was not injured. The doctor could not feel the child's heartbeat and could not feel his pulse. The doctor sighed regretfully. Song Xiaobei was really unwilling to let the child leave just like that. She quickly performed CPR. After nearly half an hour, the child's pulse started beating again. She was secretly glad that she had done it before. Song Xiaobei's action shocked many people, and they were moved to tears. They cheered for the child and for Song Xiaobei. Leng Aotian looked at her with complicated feelings.
"Song 'er, Song' er." A man ran over from afar and carried the child. He was the child's father. Someone recognized the child and told him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss!" As he spoke, he kowtowed three times. He handed the child over to an auntie he knew and then went to save her.
Everyone was still busy. Song Xiaobei had saved another child in an unbelievable way. Leng Xintian ran over to take care of the injured with Gao Xiyue. Song Xiaobei couldn't help but praise the princess, who had an extremely noble status, for doing such a thing. Gao Xiyue was more confident in herself after receiving her sister's praise.
At night, everyone gathered around the fire and sang "A Grateful Heart." Seeing the children's smiling faces, Song Xiaobei led them in singing and dancing."" I planted a seed and it finally bore fruit. Today is a great day…" The children smiled happily. Song Xiaobei finished her day's work after she finished lecturing on Sun Wukong's Uproar in Heaven.
Ji Wenjing knew very well what Song Xiaobei had done. He also guessed that the royal families of Liang and Xia had lowered their stance and actively helped the disaster victims, which had a lot to do with her. He felt gratified that the jade pendant had been given to the right person.
Ji Yuhui and Ji Yulei saw Song Xiaobei and Gao Xiyue busy themselves and wanted to do their best. However, due to their status as princesses, they didn't know what to do. In the end, they didn't step forward.
Gao Xili and the others had been fighting for four days. They saw that the disaster area basically did not need their help. The girl was already exhausted, so she bid farewell to the Emperor of Yue and promised the Liang Country 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of grain. Because Song Xiaobei had never woken up from her sleep. Gao Xili had asked the imperial physician to diagnose him twice, and both times the results were good. He was extremely happy. Leng Xin Tian did not want to be outdone and expressed that Xia Country would also provide 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 dans of grain. What the two princes didn't expect was that the Emperor of Yue had given Liang and Xia two letters of credence. The contents were that the State of Yue had been friendly with Liang and Xia for a hundred years without war. Leng Xin Tian was overjoyed and doubled the amount of aid.
The Leng brothers bid farewell to Gao Xili and the others once again. Leng Xintian secretly told Gao Xiyue,"After the Spring Festival, let Imperial Brother issue a decree that I request to marry Princess Liang Guoxi."”
"Who wants to marry you?" Gao Xiyue whispered. Her bashful face made Leng Xin Tian overjoyed once again. He really wanted to marry her immediately.
Gao Xiyue was a bit interested in Shangguan Yu, but she wasn't sure if she could let him see her. Although she had only spent a short time with Leng Xin Tian, she found that he was not bad and the two of them got along well.
Gao Xili asked Cheng Long to go ahead and wait for the divine doctor before meeting up at the Happy Gathering Building.
The commoners sent their benefactors away with Grateful Heart.
Gao Xili accompanied Song Xiaobei in the carriage. The guards tried their best to make the carriage stable, and sometimes Shangguan Yu personally drove the carriage.
Her monthly 'relatives' had come again. Song Xiaobei did not act strangely and only mocked herself. The little nutrition that he had saved up with great difficulty was gone. Suddenly, he realized that he was no longer dizzy from blood. He was so happy that he jumped and almost fell out of the car. Gao Xili cried tears of joy. God had finally sent her back in one piece.
Along the way, Song Xiaobei used her "power" to save a murderer.
A woman who murdered her husband was sentenced to beheading, and the people cried for her injustice.
It turned out that the deceased had committed all kinds of evil and was a local scourge. The commoners had repeatedly complained. He had acted like a docile kitten in front of the government, but in the end, he had been punished lightly. A few days later, the man returned to his old ways. One day, he wanted to rape a woman. When the woman heard the news, she couldn't take it anymore and killed her husband.
The presiding judge knew that the person deserved to die, and also understood that the criminal was a dutiful woman. However, the law did not tolerate mercy. If he showed mercy, he would definitely be impeached.
Song Xiaobei took out the jade pendant and saved the woman. She also saved the official's official hat. Everyone was happy.
