After the storm, Beiling County returned to its tranquility, and those dried-up and abandoned wells were given new life.

At this time, the well was already surrounded by surprised people, all of whom leaned their heads out to look into the bottom of the well. There were a few fallen leaves floating on the sparkling water in the well, and the sunlight shone through the clouds onto the water, reflecting colorful light.

The small trees appear increasingly green, and their leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if showing their vitality.

Ren Chenxi and Xia Yurou were also standing in the crowd. She gently stroked a small tree beside the well, feeling its vigorous vitality, with a gratified smile on her face. It seemed that their efforts were not in vain.

However, the people gathered around the well bowed deeply to the prince and princess to express their gratitude, and everyone's face was filled with happiness and gratitude.

Seeing this, Xia Yurou smiled and helped a pregnant woman up, saying, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. The prince and I have only done our little bit."

After hearing the princess's words, the people all showed more sincere smiles on their faces. An elderly man excitedly shook Xia Yurou's hand and said, "Princess, the kindness you and the prince have shown us in Beiling County will never be forgotten. It is you who have brought hope back to Beiling."

After he finished speaking, applause and cheers broke out all around.

The people held their benefactors' hands for a long time and were reluctant to let go; some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

"Everyone, please stand up quickly. There's no need to be like this. Beiling is also my home. You are all my family."

These words earned Xia Yurou a lot of favor, and the people were moved to the point of surging like a tide.

The old man was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. He stepped forward again and bowed deeply, his voice choking with sobs: "Princess, you are so kind. You will always be our Beiling's benefactor and the queen in our hearts."

Other people also echoed and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Princess, for everything you have done for Beiling. May your Majesty and Princess live long and healthy lives, and may Beiling County prosper forever."

The high-pitched voice echoed across the fields like a beautiful hymn, and Ren Chenxi was deeply moved by this simple emotion.

"The prosperity of Beiling is inseparable from the hard work of everyone. This rain is the reward for everyone's joint efforts."

As he finished speaking, a breeze blew by, taking away the summer heat and bringing a hint of coolness.

The Marquis's face was filled with a satisfied smile. His eyes swept across this vibrant land, finally stopping on Ren Chenxi and Xia Yurou.

He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "My fellow villagers, today we have all witnessed the miracle of Beiling County. This sweet rain not only moistened our land, but also moistened everyone's heart. The kindness of the prince and princess made me understand that I can't blindly trust in praying for rain, but should do practical things for the people with practical actions."

The figure of the Marquis seemed even taller at this moment, and the faces of the people were filled with respect for him.

"Mr. County Marquis, you have always been our role model. We see your efforts and remember them in our hearts."

Ren Chenxi took out a golden token from his waist, which was a symbol of his identity as the King of Chen.

Now he solemnly handed the token to the county marquis: "You are sincerely working for the people. This token is my reward to you and the recognition of you by the people of Beiling. Don't do ridiculous things like praying for rain in the future."

The county marquis took the token excitedly, his hands trembling slightly, and his voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, your trust and love make me feel a great responsibility. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will live up to your expectations and lead the people to live a happier and healthier life."

After that, he turned to face the people, holding the token high in his hand, and announced loudly: "The prince gave me the token today, which is a recognition of my efforts and an expectation for our future. From now on, I will work harder for the prosperity of Beiling County."

The applause of the people surged like a tide, one wave higher than the other, echoing across the empty fields.

In this vibrant land, everyone seems to see a microcosm of their own beautiful life.

The children were running around and playing among the crowd; their laughter and applause mixed together to form a harmonious and beautiful picture.

Everyone was talking to each other, their words were filled with gratitude to the prince and princess, and expectations for the future.

At this time, a carriage stopped in front of Xia Yurou and Ren Chenxi, and the people's faces showed reluctance.

The children stopped playing and looked sadly at the carriage that was about to take away their hero.

Those old men who had experienced many vicissitudes of life stood silently by, watching the prince and princess who were about to leave Beiling with their eyes full of stories.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, could you please stay for a few more days and let me and the people entertain you?"

"I appreciate the good intentions of the county marquis. A month is almost over, and I must bring the princess back to the palace to report immediately."

Seeing that the prince was determined to leave, the children came to Xia Yurou with tears in their eyes, tightly grasped the corner of her clothes with their little hands, and choked with sobs: "Sister Princess, we like you, please don't leave..."

Xia Yurou's heart was deeply touched by these innocent children. She squatted down and gently stroked their heads: "Children, I can't bear to leave you. But I really have to go back and report. I promise you that I will come back to visit you often."

The coachman drove the carriage slowly through the fields, and the wheels left deep marks on the muddy path.

The children who were running after the carriage could not help but burst into tears. They stretched out their little hands forward, calling out to "Princess Sister", trying to catch the figure that was about to disappear.

The people watched the carriage go away until it disappeared from their sight. The air was filled with a faint sadness, and even the wind was sighing.

The Marquis stood at the front of the crowd, his eyes looking far away, his hands clenched into fists, as if he was praying silently, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would make Beiling a better place to repay the kindness of the prince and princess.

Inside the carriage, Xia Yurou's eyes were slightly red. She looked out the window in the direction of Beiling County, feeling reluctant to leave.

Those innocent smiles, those warm hugs, and those clear eyes of the children are all engraved in her heart and can never be erased.

Ren Chenxi beside her noticed Xia Yurou's mood change, gently held her hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Rou'er, I know you are very sad. Even if we are reluctant, we have to return to Beijing to report."

Xia Yurou sighed deeply, calmed herself down and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go see Xiaoxiao."

Ren Chenxi was slightly startled, then nodded gently and agreed: "I was thinking the same thing, let's go and take a look on the way."
