Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the Chu Village.

Early in the morning, the rosy morning glow filled the sky in the east. Wisps of smoke drifted out from the chimneys of the village houses, and the air was filled with a thin mist.

In the room, Chu Qingyue handed the neatly folded clothes to Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, these are the clothes 1 made for you.”

Chu Qingzhi was sitting in front of the dressing mirror while Chu Qingning combed her hair. When she heard this, she took the clothes. The clothes given by the emperor felt very good. It was smooth and cold to the touch. It would definitely be comfortable to wear.

“Second Sister, thank you.”

Chu Qingyue smiled and said gently, “Silly girl, I’m more than happy to help you.”

Chu Qingning said with a smile, “Fifth Sister, we’re all sisters. It’s only right for us to help each other. Besides, you’ve done more for us. We should be the ones thanking you.”

Chu Eighth, who was sitting at the side and watching Chu Qingzhi put on her makeup, couldn’t help but interrupt. “Fifth Sister, we were born to the same mother. We’re a family.”

Chu Qingyue rubbed Chu Eighth’s head. Seeing that her hair was messy, she said, “Come here, Second Sister will comb your hair.”

Chu Eighth walked over cooperatively. “Second Sister, can you comb my hair until it looks as good as Fifth Sister’s?”

Chu Qingyue shook her head helplessly. “Your hair isn’t as long as your fifth sister’s. You can’t comb it like her.”

Chu Eighth reminded again, “Second Sister, you must comb it well. 1 want to wear the butterfly hairpin that Mother bought for me.”

Chu Qingyue did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Got it.”

After a while, Chu Qingning was done combing Chu Qingzhi’s hair. “Fifth Sister, what do you think?”

Chu Qingning had combed Chu Qingzhi’s hair into a fairy-like bun. It was especially girly.

“Fourth Sister, you are really skillful with your hands.” Chu Qingzhi sized up herself in the mirror and almost couldn’t recognize herself.

Chu Qingning said smugly. “I think so too.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and stood up. “Alright, wait outside. I’m going to change.”

Chu Eighth quickly pulled Chu Qingyue out. Chu Qingning and Chu Qingshuang followed behind them and left the room. Then, the door was slowly closed.

Tang Jinghong had indeed arrived. He did not ride a horse today. Instead, he came in a carriage with four constables escorting it. It was quite imposing.

In order to prepare for the flower parade today, the Chu family woke up early this morning. Now, they were all ready and could set off as soon as Chu Qingzhi was done dressing up.

Some of the villagers were also dressed neatly and planned to go with them to watch the show. After all, they were from the village and had to cheer for Chu Qingzhi.

Even the village elder came to Chu Qingzhi’s house early and planned to go with them.

There were also a few other old and prestigious people in the village who planned to follow and take a look. They had never seen a grand show like the flower parade.

Tang Jinghong was wearing a dark blue and dark red robe with a blue jade and silver crown on his head, accentuating his dignified aura.

He stood at the door patiently and waited quietly. If one looked carefully, they would find his eyes shining with anticipation.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang stood beside him. Yuan Hongjun was dressed in white. His skin was delicate, and his face was handsome. Bao Linjiang was dressed in black. His skin was fair, and his face was defined. He was very outstanding.

Not long after, Chu Qingzhi was done dressing up and walked out of the room.

Everyone looked at her and couldn’t help but hold their breaths. Beautiful, too beautiful!

Her beautiful and fair face was like a piece of top-grade jade with a faint white light lingering on it.

Her eyes were dark and bright, and her eyelashes were long and curved like a small feather, making her eyes look big and alluring.

The bridge of her nose was high, her mouth was red, and her lips were curled up slightly. She was like a blooming begonia.

She was wearing an orange-red off-shoulder dress with a light yellow background, outlining her tall and slender figure. The dress fluttered slightly as she walked over, making her look like a fairy.

Tang Jinghong couldn’t move his eyes off her. Other than the girl who was walking over slowly, he couldn’t see anything else.

He went forward and couldn’t help but praise, “Qingzhi, you’re so beautiful today.”

Chu Qingzhi pursed her lips and smiled. “You’re not bad either!” He was cool and handsome.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked at each other. Even the noble ladies in the capital weren’t a tenth as beautiful as their master. Their master was too dazzlingly beautiful.

At this moment, the villagers were all thinking the same thing.

The constable, who was also stunned for a while, brought over a box. “Lord Tang, please put a flower crown on Miss Chu.”

The flower crown was a garland made of nine types of red flowers. It was woven with a special technique and was very beautiful.

After Tang Jinghong took out the flower crown, he carefully put it on Chu Qingzhi. “You look even better.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and looked at Tang Jinghong. “Let’s go.”

Tang Jinghong reached out his hand, and Chu Qingzhi naturally placed her hand in his. Then, she was led to the carriage.

The villagers surrounded them and followed behind.

Chu Qingzhi walked to the front of the carriage and turned around to say to her mother and sisters, “Mother, Second Sister, Fourth Sister, Sixth Sister, Eighth Sister, Ruyue, let’s take the carriage.”

Li Qingyu was definitely unwilling to steal her daughter’s show, and so were the others. In the end, only Chu Qingshuang and Chu Eighth got into the carriage.

After Chu Qingzhi got into the carriage, they set off.

More than half of the village was mobilized. It was unprecedented.

The carriage drove steadily. After twenty minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the county city. The people in the county city had already come out to watch the show.

Usually, there was no show to watch. To them, who had a lack of entertainment activities, once there was a show, they wouldn’t miss it.

At this moment, both sides of the street were filled with people. There were men and women, old and young. Everyone was in high spirits and looking forward to it.

“I heard that this Miss Chu Qingzhi is very beautiful. I’m lucky today.”

“She’s a girl who did a good deed for the common people. Even if she didn’t look beautiful, her temperament must be extraordinary.”

“I heard that she is only a fifteen-year-old girl, but her medical skills are already superb. This is unbelievable.”

“If her medical skills weren’t superb, would she be able to treat malaria?”

“Yes, you are right. How amazing..”
