Chapter 171 Pass the test and gain a fanboy
"Princess, you are so noble and upright! Not only do you care about the people, but you are also brave enough to eradicate evil forces and maintain social order. I am not very talented and well-educated, and I am not good at speaking, but as a commoner, I have always wanted to seek benefits for the people. Only by following a virtuous person like Princess Princess can we realize this dream and let it fly higher and farther." One of them said excitedly.
Another person immediately echoed, "Yes, just as my brother said, I have heard that the princess has the world in her heart and has traveled thousands of miles to Lingcheng to save those suffering from the plague. I dare to ask, how many people in the world today can have such a broad and loving heart like the princess? It is really admirable!"
At this time, the man with the scar on his face couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and continued with a slightly trembling voice: "Princess, in fact, we all know the horror and danger of the plague. Back then, when we were still young, a serious plague suddenly broke out in Qingshui Town. We were helpless at that time, and watched our parents die from the disease. If we had the same superb medical skills as the princess, perhaps our loved ones would not have left us..." At this point, he was already crying.
Finally, someone else added, "Princess, you are very perceptive and can clearly distinguish good from evil. What is even more commendable is that you quietly eradicated the evil Hua Manlou and restored peace and tranquility to our Qingshui Town. Moreover, you never take credit for your own achievements, and you never look down on people like us who come from humble backgrounds. Such a broad mind and tolerance are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
Yun Yuxi listened quietly to the heartfelt words of these brothers and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She thought to herself: "It seems that these people have good character, good hearts, and the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
In this case, why not give them a chance..." Thinking of this, Yun Yuxi nodded slightly to show her approval.
"You are pure-hearted and sincere, so I will give you a chance to test you."
Several people kowtowed to express their gratitude and looked at Yun Yuxi eagerly, waiting for Yun Yuxi to ask questions.
Yun Yuxi pointed to the carriage with a broken axle and said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you can fix the carriage, you will follow Lingyi from now on."
"Hurry up and act, time is running out," Lingyi looked at them with emotion.
Yun Yuxi turned around lightly and stepped onto the carriage slowly. After getting off the carriage and being blown by the biting cold wind for a while, she was no longer sleepy at this moment. Out of boredom, she simply started to crack the melon seeds in her hand, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.
On the other side, Scarface and several others gathered together, whispering in low voices. Not long after, they ran quickly into the depths of the woods, and then worked together to carry back a thick tree.
Lingyi stared at this scene intently, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was secretly glad that he had wisely chosen to leave his original place and switch to the side of the princess.
At this moment, Jing Zichu, holding a chessboard, leaped onto the carriage that Feng San was riding in, and said with a smile: "Old San, come and play a game of chess with me! My sister-in-law will have a new little fanboy soon!"
Feng San yawned lazily, rubbed his eyes, and muttered, "Second brother, I want to take a nap for a while, it's so cold outside! And the weather is weird, the closer we get to Kyoto, the colder it gets. But my sister-in-law is really charming, which is a great thing! As for playing chess... Hehe, I know I'm no match for you, so let's forget it. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? Are you short of money again?"
Jing Zichu was not embarrassed when Feng San revealed his thoughts. Instead, he shamelessly agreed, "Hey, Third Brother still understands me! Isn't that right? Unlike our eldest brother, who only knows how to make people work hard but is reluctant to pay even a penny. He even said that my sister-in-law is in charge of the accounts and asked me to ask for it from my sister-in-law. Humph! This is really outrageous!"
"Second brother, my eldest sister-in-law seems to be obsessed with money. It's a pipe dream to think of her money," Feng San got up helplessly and rolled his eyes at the chessboard set up by Jing Zichu.
The brothers who were repairing the carriage were busy against time, sweating profusely, and chopping wood with big knives.
"Princess, I just took a look at those brothers. I'm afraid they want to make a new carriage. I see they are busy and having fun," Yuelan said with a smile.
Yun Yuxi spit out the melon seed shells in her mouth gracefully and said softly to Yuelan, "Yuelan, letting those people take the test is just a show. In fact, I have already known in my mind that I want to keep them. After all, if you act too casually, someone with ulterior motives may take the opportunity to sneak into the palace in the future. The consequences will be unimaginable!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lan could not help but nod repeatedly, her eyes full of admiration: "Princess, you are really thoughtful! Our Regent Palace is now at the center of the storm, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at us, hoping to catch even the slightest mistake of ours, so as to take the opportunity to frame and murder us!"
Yun Yuxi nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Yuelan, do you know how Banxia and Chiyan are doing? And how are you getting along with Lingyi?"
Hearing this, Yuelan's face suddenly turned red. She covered her cheeks tightly with her hands. She was shy like a child and stammered, "Ah, Princess...Princess, this...well..." Before she finished her words, she turned around and ran towards the carriage.
Looking at Yuelan's fleeing back, Yun Yuxi shook her head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said to herself: "Oh, what a bunch of stupid guys, each of them is an idiot in terms of feelings! I have been worrying about you all day long, but to no avail. Forget it, let's go and see how the carriage is repaired." After that, she also stood up and walked towards the carriage, sighing secretly in her heart.
Yun Yuxi saw the brand new carriage in front of her, looked at the time, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Why don't you thank us quickly? What are you standing there for?" Lingyi reminded the scar-faced guys.
"Thank you, Princess. We will serve you wholeheartedly. If we betray you, we will be like this wood." Several people said in unison, and together they used their inner strength to break the wood as thick as a teacup in front of them.
"Get up, remember what you said today. I will never be merciful to those who betray me! From now on you will listen to Lingyi's command." After saying that, Yun Yuxi ordered everyone to hurry up.
