Chapter 1065 -1059: Tears of Gratitude

The carriage continued to drive towards the city.

The common folk knelt on both sides, shouting long live His Majesty. Some, braver ones, couldn’t help but cry out with sobs: “His Majesty did not abandon us humble people! Thank His Majesty for thinking of us!”

“Long live His Majesty! Long live the Emperor!”

Upon hearing this, she pulled the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, snow mixed with a cold wind rushed in. She hadn’t expected that the common folk would be waiting for her at the city gate so early. Their heads and bodies were covered in snow, not daring to raise their heads, they were just excitedly shouting, some were crying with emotions and their shoulders shook uncontrollably.

Thinking they had been abandoned, they had prepared for the worst, but to their surprise, His Majesty of Zhou, the most noble, personally came to the most perilous border city. In the face of despair, they saw hope, how could the common folk not be excited?

Saw even children kneeling in the snow, Bai Qingyan furrowed her brows: “Uncle Shen!”

Shen Kunyang heard, turned his horse back: “Your Majesty…”

“Have the common folk been kneeling here for a long time?” she asked.

Shen Kunyang nodded: “Knowing His Majesty would come, they all came here to wait for you. It’s also because recently the Elephant Army has appeared frequently, frightening the common folk. Your arrival is like a stabilizing force, so this morning, when we came to meet His Majesty at the city gate, the common folk followed.”

She looked through the carriage window at the common folk kowtowing and shouting long live, their hands on the ground were already red and swollen from the cold, she told Shen Kunyang: “Uncle Shen, have the soldiers persuade the common folk to stop kneeling here, let them go back!”

“Understood!” Shen Kunyang responded, pulling the reins forward to instruct Cheng Yuanzhi to relay the command.

Bai Qingyan held the curtain, frowning as she looked outside, watching the soldiers squat down to persuade the kneeling and bowing common folk to return.

“Miss…” Chun Zhi expressed her concern, placing a teacup in front of Bai Qingyan and saying softly, “You’re weak, make sure not to be caught by the cold wind.”

Bai Qingyan did not respond, seeing the soldiers couldn’t persuade the common folk to move, she looked towards the back of the crowd, seeing the common folk persisted on kneeling, unwilling to leave.

This was the only way for the common folk to express their respect and reverence to their Emperor. How could they leave before the imperial carriage had departed?

Bai Qingyan put down the curtain and told Chun Zhi: “Let the procession stop for a moment.”

Chun Zhi responded, knocked on the carriage door, and told those outside: “His Majesty wants the procession to halt for a moment!”

Soon, the moving carriage procession slowly came to a halt, Lu Yuanpeng turned his horse towards the direction of Bai Qingyan’s carriage, but was stopped by the Bai family’s guards before he could approach.

“Everyone should go back now! Don’t freeze here!” the soldiers persuaded the common folk, “His Majesty certainly would not neglect Pingyang City! Look, His Majesty is already here! Stand up now!”

Only to see Bai Qingyan, supported by Chun Zhi’s hand, get out of the carriage. Shen Kunyang and Xie Yuchang guarded beside Bai Qingyan, the soldiers persuading the common folk to return knelt on one knee to greet her.

“His Majesty has come out! His Majesty has come out!” 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
