Xiao Ling looked at the scene in front of him and unconsciously blushed, saying: "Although I don't understand the political affairs of the court, I believe in my father and elder brother, I believe in the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, I believe in every Zhou general, and I believe even more.
Zhou people are united as one!"
Uncle Zhou said with tears: "Although I am about to die, if Zhou Dynasty can use me anywhere, I will devote myself to it!"
"Dedicate yourself to your best!"
"Dedicate yourself to your best!"
"Dedicate yourself to your best!"
Screams echoed through Wujiacun. This was the first time Ye Sili knew that although Wujiacun was filled with old, weak, women and children, they were still full of enthusiasm.
"Folks." Ye Sili's voice was firm, and the people were instantly quiet.
"Let me introduce it to you solemnly."
Ye Sili turned to look at Chu Jin who was silent and said:
"This is His Highness Yasu, the Crown Prince of Daliang."
"I just met His Highness by chance on the way here. I heard that His Highness wanted to feel the enthusiasm of our people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I took the initiative to bring His Highness here. Your Highness is gentle and approachable. Don't be afraid."
"Your Highness." Ye Sili said to Chu Jin again: "This is the place I recommend to you. Wujia Village is located in a remote place. People in the village rarely leave the village. They have a frank personality and have offended many people. Le'an
Apologize again."
Chu Jin held Ye Sili's arm, "How can I be such a stingy person? I am grateful that the princess is willing to bring me here."
"Everyone." Chu Jin turned around and said to the villagers: "Zhou and Liang have always been friendly countries, and my visit to Zhou this time is also to enhance the friendship between the two countries."
"The affairs of the world are not something you and I can easily control."
"But what I can promise is that as long as I am in power, no matter how the situation in the world changes, Daliang soldiers will never harm innocent people."
"You can rest assured."
Chu Jin's words were sincere, and with the guarantees of Gu Liyou, Ye Sili and others, he convinced the villagers in just a few words.
Ye Sili looked at Chu Jian silently. It was rumored that Prince Daliang had a ferocious appearance, cruel methods, and deep intentions. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed untrue.
The villagers are very affectionate and sincere, and Mu Jiufeng and the others have always been straightforward.
"I wonder how the dignified Prince Daliang's cooking skills are?" Mu Jiufeng put his hands on Chu Jin's shoulders with a familiarity that was still stained with chicken blood.
"I heard that Mr. Jiu Feng and Dr. He are familiar with each other?" Chu Jin took away Mu Jiu Feng's paw in disgust.
Hearing this, Mu Jiufeng became even more excited, "Then I must try His Highness Yasu's craftsmanship."
After saying that, Mu Jiufeng hooked Chu Jin's shoulders without letting go, half pushing and half pulling Chu Jin into the kitchen.
After the farce, the villagers returned to their lively mood, and everyone went to the kitchen to help out.
Ye Sili stood in the courtyard, watching the villagers talking and laughing, and the children chasing each other...
The kitchen was also very lively. Mu Jiufeng was playing with Chu Jin with a plucked chicken, and chicken blood was splashed everywhere. Gu Liyou handled the live fish skillfully, looking up at her from time to time, with a smile on his face.
The much warmer smile of the winter moon sun. It was the first time for Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling to encounter this scene. They wanted to help but didn't know where to start.
Even if the world falls apart, what does it have to do with them?
There is no need to care about their identities and positions, they are just a group of like-minded friends.
Everyone sat around the table, Gu Liyou tore off a piece of goose leg and put it in Ye Sili's bowl.
"Ah Li, the braised goose you like."
"You went to Zuiyun Tower early in the morning specifically to buy braised goose?" No need for Gu Liyou to answer, Ye Sili smiled and took a satisfied bite of the goose leg in the bowl.
Mu Jiufeng racked his brain and said, "I just went around and found a stream behind the village. How about we go fishing in the afternoon?"
"Mu Jiufeng, you are so stupid. How can there be fish in this cold weather?" Xiao Ling ruthlessly broke Mu Jiufeng's fantasy.
Mu Jiufeng did not give up, and said: "I just made a careful observation. The stream is neither deep nor shallow, and the water flow is slow. There are aquatic plants growing along the stream, and there is enough sunshine. There must be fish there."
Therefore, under Mu Jiufeng's repeated assurances, Ye Sili and others finally gave in.
Even though Ye Sili was afraid of the cold, she couldn't bear it when she saw them all going into the water to fish. No matter how Gu Liyou tried to dissuade her, she finally rolled up her trouser legs and sleeves and went into the water.
It was fake to fish, but it was real to play in the water. After a while, most of their clothes were wet, and even their hair was not spared. In the end, Ye Sili was too cold, so they ended their fun.
They returned to the village and changed into the clean clothes of the villagers, and lit a fire in the courtyard to keep warm. Everyone held ginger water cooked by the villagers in their hands, and sat there until dark.
"Look, there are so many stars." Xiao Ling cheered.
Everyone looked up and saw that the sky was filled with stars, accompanied by tiny sparks. Even in the winter moon, they did not feel cold.
"The starry sky is so vast, I never knew it was so beautiful." Xiao Ling looked at the starry sky with fascination, greedily wanting to see every star.
"There are the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper." Mu Jiufeng turned around and pointed at the seven stars. Everyone turned around and looked at them, again amazed.
Chu Yan looked up at the starry sky, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and only said: "That is the direction of Daliang, and it is my home."
Dahanqi remained silent, just staring blankly at the bright Big Dipper.
After a long time, Chu Jin turned around, rubbed the porcelain bowl with his fingers, and looked at the sparks in front of him.
"I'm going back soon."
Ye Sili and others came back to their senses and looked at him in surprise, only to hear him regretfully say:
“I don’t know when, where or what the circumstances will be when we meet again.”
Xiao Ling was also reluctant to let go of this situation, "How could it be so sudden?"
"It was decided before, but I just didn't think it was necessary to tell us. After spending time together today, I feel that it's a bit regretful to leave like this."
Everyone was silent and looked at the fire in front of them quietly, listening to the occasional "crackling" sound of the firewood, and watching many sparks rising and disappearing from the fire.
They were born into the royal family, and their every move, word, deed, and hobby and joy were all involuntarily. Just like today, they are having fun regardless of their status and regardless of the state affairs of the world. It is like a dream. Who dares to wake up easily?
?
When Chu Jin left, Xiao Ling sneaked out of the palace and went to the outskirts with Ye Sili to wait for him.
Yes, they were close friends, but now they don't even have a serious name to show off to each other.
Chu Jin got off the carriage and returned to his normal behavior when they first met.
"This palace deserves to be sent to you personally by the Fifth Princess and Princess Le'an."
Xiao Ling looked at the mighty motorcade, held back the reluctance in her heart, and pretended to be relaxed:
"I heard that you went out of your way to get your father to agree to postpone the marriage. Although I don't know what method you used, I have remembered this kindness. You are really loyal."
