Time flows by, like a clear spring meandering through the valleys of time. Before we know it, several months have passed quietly like a wisp of smoke.
During this long journey, the Miao King, accompanied by his charming little princess and the extraordinary Miao saintess, traveled together, accompanied by the sounds of morning bells and evening drums.
Under the blazing sun and starry sky, we trekked through mountains and rivers, crossing vast grasslands, traversing towering mountain ranges, and fording rushing rivers.
After weathering countless storms, it finally arrived slowly in the prosperous and renowned capital city amidst the eager anticipation of everyone.
The moment the carriage, laden with exotic charm, slowly sailed into the streets of the capital, it resembled a fantastical vessel from a distant and mysterious land.
Like a dazzling ray of light, it instantly pierced the ordinary and tranquil sky, attracting the attention of countless people in a flash.
Like a giant magnet, it firmly attracted everyone's attention, making it impossible to look away.
The people of the capital, and indeed all the common people of Chengxiao Kingdom, naturally exude an innate confidence.
This confidence is just like the resilience and uprightness shown by the evergreen pines and cypresses after enduring countless harsh winters and scorching summers.
It is deeply rooted in the profound foundation of the strong national power of Chengxiao Kingdom.
It naturally arises and spreads from their words and actions, becoming a unique characteristic of their personality.
In recent years, as the national strength of Chengxiao Kingdom has risen like the rising sun, it has stood out among the surrounding countries and gained widespread fame.
Small countries came and went in an endless stream, converging here like rivers flowing into the sea, engaging in political, economic and cultural exchanges with Chengxiao Kingdom.
The people were already used to foreigners and things, and their hearts were as calm as a still lake, hardly stirred.
However, the unique and enchanting exotic customs of Miao territory are like a refreshing and strange spring breeze, carrying a different kind of mysterious charm.
It burst into everyone's view unexpectedly with such an intense and undeniable presence.
It reignited their deep-seated curiosity about the unknown world, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
In an instant, the entire city of Beijing was like a calm lake that had been hit by a heavy boulder, and it instantly erupted into chaos.
The murmurs rose and fell, like the dense and enthusiastic chirping of cicadas in summer, weaving together into a noisy wave that never stopped.
People stopped what they were doing, whether they were busy shopkeepers and employees in the shops on the street, pedestrians hurrying along the way, or children playing in the street.
As if drawn by an invisible force, they either leaned out of the shops or hurriedly gathered around from the street, instantly making the carriage impassable.
They whispered among themselves, pointing and gesturing, their faces displaying a variety of expressions: curiosity, amazement, doubt, and a strong desire to explore the unknown.
Some people whispered their guesses about the appearance of the people inside the carriage, imagining the majesty of the Miao king, the cuteness of the little princess, and the mysterious aura of the Miao saintess.
Some people were enthusiastically discussing the mysterious customs and traditions of the Miao region, from its unique clothing culture to the enigmatic legends of Gu worms.
The various sounds intertwined, creating a unique melody full of local flavor and curiosity.
Upon seeing this scene, the official leading the Miao King's entourage felt a slight unease, but then realized that it might cause the Miao King to misunderstand.
A gentle and kind smile quickly appeared on his face, a smile as warm as the spring sun, warm but not dazzling.
He hurried forward, his posture upright like a pine tree, his demeanor elegant and proper, bowing slightly to the carriage with respect and grace.
He spoke earnestly and in a loud voice: "I earnestly hope that your esteemed monarch will forgive us. The people of our dynasty are simple and kind by nature, and have always been hospitable and broad-minded."
They meant no offense whatsoever; it was simply that your country's unique and captivating charm, like a dazzling star, filled our people with admiration and curiosity.
This is what has drawn everyone's attention, causing them to gather here. We hope Your Majesty will not take offense.
After saying that, he slowly raised his head, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.
Her eyes revealed an urgent desire for the Miao King to understand that there was no malice behind this scene, and she quietly waited for the Miao King's response.
Pan Wei, the Miao king, remained calm and composed after hearing the slightly apologetic words from the accompanying official.
It was as if his explanation was nothing more than a gentle breeze, failing to stir even the slightest ripple in his heart.
He casually waved his hand, the movement fluid and natural, revealing the unique boldness, uninhibitedness, and free spirit of the Miao people.
Immediately afterwards, he turned slightly to the side and turned his gaze to the curious onlookers.
In an instant, a warm and friendly smile, like the sun, bloomed on his face.
That smile seemed to have a magical power, instantly dispelling the barriers and distance caused by unfamiliarity.
He waved enthusiastically to the people, his arm waving widely, as if to convey his heartfelt friendliness without reservation.
His voice was loud and cheerful, echoing through the streets like a great bell, carrying a touch of the boldness unique to the Miao region.
He smiled and said, "That's not true! From the moment I stepped into this prosperous capital city..."
The simple and kind nature of the people of Ningchao was like a gentle spring rain, silently nourishing everything and deeply seeping into Gu's heart.
Throughout this journey, the kindness in the eyes of the people and the friendliness in their actions made me feel as if I were in a warm embrace, bathed in a spring breeze.
