Yun Duoduo took the girl's hand and began reciting the poem: "Dragon Valley is level, Tiger Valley is level. Dandelion is brave and the best in the army, horsetail is dead."

"Sweet apricot people, bitter apricot people."

"Singing and dancing to comfort the meritorious officials, red flowers adorn their bodies."

Xiaoying pondered the rhythmic and melodic phrases of Yun Duoduo, trying to understand their meaning.

"This poem describes the glory of a brave and skilled hero who quelled a rebellion. Using red flowers as a name expresses the hope that in the future, we can be like this general, eliminating evil and punishing traitors!"

"Great! Great name!"

"Moreover, safflower promotes blood circulation, relieves pain, and disperses blood stasis, which is very beneficial to the injured person's body."

"That's what one of the apprentices said."

"It helps to treat amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, lochia retention, chest pain, abdominal pain due to blood stasis, chest and rib pain, traumatic injuries, sores and swelling."

"That's what another apprentice standing at the door said."

"You guys certainly know how to join in the fun."

A pretty young girl came to the clinic. She was recuperating in the inner room, which aroused the curiosity of many apprentices in the clinic.

Moreover, everyone was also very curious about the background of this pretty little girl, and why she was lying in the corner of the street opposite the clinic in the freezing cold.

Seeing that the little girl was a bit shy, Xiaoying used her broom to chase away the apprentices who were standing at the door watching the commotion.

"Have you finished reading the medical books? Have you dried the medicinal herbs? Have you swept the hallway? All you do is sit here and watch the show!"

"Each one of them is very eager to hear news (they love to gossip and hear rumors)!"

The apprentices scattered in all directions, dodging the broom that Xiaoying was waving at them. They stuck out their tongues, made faces, and then dispersed.

"I like this name."

After seeing that no one was gathered around the door, Honghua whispered.

That's great.

Yun Duoduo's eyes lit up, and she said to Xiaoying beside her, "Xiaoying, go and get a bowl of porridge for Honghua."

The red flower has a new name, and its eyes are sparkling.

"You can't eat anything hard to digest right now. Drink porridge first. Once you've recovered, you can eat meat to your heart's content!"

"Thank you, young master..."

After Honghua finished speaking, she was about to kneel down and kowtow.

"Don't move, rest quickly. You'll have plenty of opportunities to repay this kindness in the future. For now, just relax and rest here."

Yun Duoduo quickly helped her up. Honghua looked a few years older than her, and she couldn't accept such kneeling.

"Xiaoying, you take care of Honghua, I'm leaving now."

Yun Duoduo glanced at the sky outside, clapped her hands, and left.

We're about to set off for the Shu Kingdom, and there's still a lot to prepare.

...

Inside Fu Shuang Palace, Granny Liu and several palace maids were packing things up.

"The princess is traveling south, a long and cold journey. We need to prepare our things."

"You have to bring a plush jar, a cotton quilt, a hand warmer, a cloak, and a hat."

"Although the weather in Shu is not as cold as in Nanyang, we can't be short of supplies for the road, otherwise we won't know where to buy them along the way."

The maids around Granny Liu remained silent, heads bowed, diligently performing their duties.

"Granny, the princess is back!"

A young palace maid entered from the entrance of Fu Shuang Palace and said.

"Oh dear, quick, put out the pastries, and bring out the fruit drinks that you just warmed up!"

Granny Liu was overjoyed to hear that Yun Duoduo had returned. The child she had raised with great care was now growing more and more beautiful.

"Hand warmer, hand warmer!"

As Granny Liu gave her instructions, Yun Duoduo stepped across the threshold and entered the bedroom just as everything was ready.

"Princess, please have some hot fruit drink."

"Granny is the best, I'm just hungry."

Yun Duoduo touched her belly and took off her outer robe, handing it to the palace maid beside her.

"Ah Xiang, you serve the princess. I'll take some people to the side hall to pack our belongings."

Granny Liu glanced at Ah Xiang.

"This is all ash; it'll choke the princess."

Yun Duoduo was exhausted after a long day. She picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to her mouth, but somehow her hand trembled and the pastry fell to the ground.

Ugh, I can barely hold things properly anymore.

Staying up late is bad for your health; you can't stay up late anymore!

Yun Duoduo bent down to pick it up.

As her hand touched the pastries on the ground, she caught a glimpse of something familiar out of the corner of her eye.

【Huh?】

It was a dark yellow, rectangular object.

"Oh dear, isn't this my little black and yellow copper piece?!"

With astonishing strength, Yun Duoduo lifted a table leg and pulled out a small, dark yellow copper piece from underneath.

She held the object up to her eyes and examined it closely, confirming that it was indeed the item that Prince Ning had given her before.

“Aunt Xiang, this is what Third Imperial Uncle gave me before.”

I seem to vaguely remember that this bronze piece was of great use in the Shu Kingdom.

Ah Xiang walked over to take a look, but it was difficult to identify what it was.

"Good heavens, is this a copper sheet? This is illogical, how come it didn't deform under pressure?!"

Yun Duoduo brushed the dust off the small copper piece and placed it in a small box on the dressing table.

The small box contained her favorite jewelry, which she planned to take to the Shu Kingdom.

...

On Chang'an Street in Nanyang, Yun Yishu took Shitou to inspect the shops. Their first stop was the Yuexiayuan Painting Shop.

Yun Duoduo was busy preparing things for her trip, so she didn't come along.

Upon entering, Yun Yishu saw several boxes piled up in the corner, one of which was filled with jewelry.
