Chapter 257 (011 words added)
In that distant and mysterious era, there existed a kingdom where its people lived a peaceful and prosperous life. The kingdom's prosperity and harmony were entirely due to its wise, benevolent, and compassionate ruler.
This monarch governed the country with noble virtue and extraordinary wisdom. He cared deeply for the people's suffering and always sought ways to improve their lives. Whenever natural disasters or social unrest occurred, he would appear before the people at the first opportunity to reassure them and take proactive measures to address the difficulties.
He recruited talented individuals, humbly listened to opinions from all sides, and continuously improved the country's policies and regulations. At the same time, he vigorously developed agricultural production and constructed water conservancy projects, which greatly increased grain production, and the people no longer had to worry about food and clothing.
In education, he spared no effort in investing resources to establish schools, ensuring that every child had the opportunity to receive knowledge. As a result, the country produced a wealth of talent, enjoyed cultural prosperity, and experienced rapid technological advancements.
Moreover, this monarch treated his subjects like family, showing them great care and concern. He often traveled incognito to understand the true needs and thoughts of the people. He would provide material assistance to impoverished families; and for those who had been wronged, he would personally investigate the truth and restore justice.
Over time, the monarch's benevolence and wisdom spread throughout the land, winning the people's heartfelt respect and deep affection. Whether white-haired elders or innocent children, everyone praised him highly, regarding him as their idol and role model. Under his rule, this land became a paradise full of hope and happiness, making him a hero in the hearts of the people. Despite facing numerous difficulties, the Regent King remained steadfast in his original aspirations, tirelessly striving for the happiness of the people. In a past life, Murong Xun had shown him an indelible life-saving grace. It was a stormy night; he was in dire straits, his life hanging by a thread. Murong Xun appeared before him like a god, rescuing him from the brink of death with fearless courage and superb martial arts. At that moment, his heart was filled with gratitude and respect, and he vowed to repay this kindness in this lifetime. Now, they meet again in this life, and the gears of fate quietly turn. He is determined to repay Murong Xun's life-saving grace from his previous life with his actions, no matter the cost. In this dynasty, treacherous officials hold sway in the court. They form cliques, collude with each other, and use their power and wealth to manipulate the country's politics and economy, plunging the people into misery.
Meanwhile, Xue Ruanruan didn't forget those still facing hunger. She led her team to promote new grain crops to more distant areas, benefiting more people. In this process, she encountered many difficulties and challenges, but always maintained her firm belief and indomitable spirit. Xue Ruanruan entered the space with excitement, and before her eyes unfolded a breathtaking scene: fruit trees laden with heavy, ripe fruit. These fruits exuded an enticing aroma, as if telling her of the joy of harvest. Some were bright red, like sparkling jewels; some were golden yellow, like golden suns; others were deep purple or light green, a vibrant and beautiful sight. Each fruit was full of life and vitality, seemingly waiting to be picked and tasted. The monkey wine that Jin Hou had sent last time still sat there quietly, emitting an alluring aroma. That unique flavor seemed to transcend time and space, reminding her of the wonderful times spent with Jin Hou. This bottle of monkey wine is not only a delicious beverage, but also a precious gift, carrying the friendship and blessings of the golden monkey. Every time I see it, a warm feeling wells up in my heart. Perhaps, this is one of life's little joys! Xue Ruanruan gently stroked the bottle of monkey wine, feeling the affection from the golden monkey. She decided to share this happiness with everyone, so she took out some wine glasses and poured the monkey wine into them. Everyone sat around a large round table, which was filled with various delicacies and wines. While enjoying the delicious food, they chatted about their life ideals, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. At this moment, the waiter brought out a bottle of precious red wine, and everyone stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on the bottle. The waiter skillfully opened the bottle and poured the wine into everyone's glasses. Everyone picked up their glasses, gently swirled them, and let the wine fully contact the air to release more aromas. Then, they brought the glasses to their noses, took a deep breath, and felt the rich fruity aroma emanating from the wine.
