Dressed in magnificent official robes, her figure stood straight as a pine tree, like a towering rose, proudly upright. Her eyes were deep as a lake, gleaming with wisdom; her words were sharp as a sword, hitting the heart of the problem. Like a conductor, she used her wisdom and courage to guide everyone to find a way to solve the problem.
Bai Yu, the king of Dongsang, initially had reservations about Xu Yuehuai's appointment. However, as time went on, he gradually discovered Xu Yuehuai's extraordinary qualities. Her wisdom and courage, like the fragrance of a vibrant rose, became increasingly intoxicating.
He had no choice but to grant Xu Yuehuai more power, as recommended by the high-ranking official.
Whenever he saw Xu Yuehuai handling state affairs with ease and confidence in the court, his respect for her grew stronger, like the fragrance of roses.
Xu Yuehuai's name was thus spread to every corner of the palace once again.
She is like the radiance of a rose, illuminating every lost and confused heart. More and more people are drawn to her, willing to fight alongside her, just as bees are attracted by the fragrance of roses, willing to give everything for the sweet nectar.
In the palace gardens, Xu Yuehuai often strolled alone, contemplating the future of the country and secretly observing the unusual things around him.
She always wore a faint smile, like a rose petal, maintaining her elegant posture regardless of wind or rain. Her steps were firm and powerful, like the thorns of a rose, steadfastly adhering to her path no matter the difficulties encountered.
One day, Xu Yuehuai encountered a young official in the garden. The young official's eyes shone with admiration as he asked Xu Yuehuai for advice on governing the country.
"I wonder what kind of classics you usually read, Lady Shen?"
"In fact, all knowledge is not acquired solely from classical texts. Reading ten thousand books is not as valuable as traveling ten thousand miles. Since we are here to solve practical problems in the present moment, we should naturally seek insights from among the people..."
Xu Yuehuai was like a patient gardener, answering his questions in approachable language. She not only taught him how to govern a country, but also how to uphold his beliefs and ideals.
"Thank you so much, Lady Shen! I will remember everything you said and carry it out properly!" The young official bowed to Xu Yuehuai.
"There's no need to be so polite. We're all doing this for the people." Xu Yuehuai helped the other person up.
The young official looked at her with a smile, his admiration for her growing even stronger.
In the Eastern Sang Kingdom, Xu Yuehuai was not only a esteemed female official, but also a beloved confidante of the people. Her approachable image was like a delicate, vibrant rose, its fragrance deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.
At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight fell upon this ancient and mysterious land, Xu Yuehuai began her busy day. She changed into simple clothes, abandoned the constraints of officialdom, and transformed into an ordinary explorer, venturing deep into the countryside to uncover the true stories hidden behind the prosperity.
She moved through the narrow streets and alleys, chatting warmly with the vendors, asking how their business was and whether they were making ends meet. A warm smile always graced her face, radiating a comforting energy.
Xu Yuehuai would also stop from time to time to play with the children by the roadside, gently stroking their heads with her warm hands and giving them endless love.
She cared not only about the people's material lives but also about their spiritual world. She often sat under the old locust tree at the village entrance, listening to the villagers tell stories of the past, sometimes nodding in approval, sometimes sighing softly. Her eyes were filled with love for this land and concern for its people.
The soft moonlight spilled onto the ancient city's stone-paved streets as Xu Yuehuai walked lightly, her heart filled with anticipation and responsibility. As an official deeply loved by the people, she knew that each visit was not merely a simple inspection, but a bridge connecting her with the hearts of the people.
"Lord Shen, you've finally arrived!" An old man saw Xu Yuehuai from afar, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.
Xu Yuehuai quickly stepped forward and asked gently, "Uncle, how have you been lately?"
The old man sighed and shook his head, saying, "Since that flood, my family's fields have been destroyed, and life has become increasingly difficult."
Xu Yuehuai gently grasped the old man's hand, her eyes revealing deep concern: "Uncle, don't worry, the government will definitely find a way to help everyone rebuild their homes."
As the investigation deepened, Xu Yuehuai discovered that the people's complaints were not unfounded. Some were dissatisfied because of the heavy taxes, while others were furious about the corruption of officials.
Faced with these sharp accusations, Xu Yuehuai did not shy away, but instead chose to bravely stand in their shoes and put herself in their shoes to think about their situation.
In a simple teahouse, Xu Yuehuai sat with a group of people. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then spoke gently: "I know that everyone has been having a hard time lately, but please believe that the imperial court has been working hard to improve your lives."
As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged woman stood up, her eyes reddening: "Lord Shen, we've really had enough! Those corrupt officials have embezzled all our hard-earned money!"
Xu Yuehuai gently patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "Sister, I understand how you feel. But please believe me, not all officials are like that. I will personally investigate this matter and give everyone a satisfactory answer."
Such conversations were commonplace during Xu Yuehuai's visits. She always soothed the people's emotions with a calm tone and gave them confidence and hope with a firm gaze.
Xu Yuehuai, as an official deeply loved by the people, understands that the duty of a public servant lies not only in solving problems, but also in giving people faith and strength. Her eyes are always filled with firmness and care, as if they can penetrate people's confusion and give them the courage to move forward.
During a post-disaster reconstruction activity, Xu Yuehuai stood in front of the ruins, her eyes revealing unwavering determination.
She gently stroked the hand of a disaster victim, smiling as she said, "We will get through this together, believe me." At that moment, her eyes were filled with a warm power, as if it could dispel the gloom in people's hearts.
Xu Yuehuai's actions deeply inspired those around her. She personally led the way in public welfare activities, always at the forefront, whether it was free clinics, disaster relief, or educational assistance. Her figure moved among the crowds, busy yet orderly, and her voice echoed in the disaster area, giving people hope and strength.
During a free clinic event, Xu Yuehuai carefully took the pulse of each patient and inquired about their condition, her eyes filled with concern.
