A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on

Gu Can had quietly gone to Chuxiu Palace to meet Shang Rong. Her Taobao cheat code wasn't some incredibly powerful system. It was linked to her pre-time travel bank account, which still had a decent amount of savings, but it could only buy things that were available in the 21st century.

Shang Rong was a person of good character and tenacity, which Gu Can admired very much, so he did not take away her golden finger. After she died, this Taobao would automatically disappear.

A month passed quickly. The girls who were selected for the imperial examination woke up early every day to learn the rules and regulations. They were too tired to have time to engage in conspiracy and intrigue. After Qing Mulan abdicated, the high-ranking concubines were taken away to the temporary palace.

So there was no drama of being summoned by the concubines.

"Big Sister." Qingmu Junsu immediately stood up to greet Gu Can when he saw her coming. Gu Can smiled and walked over and sat down on the luxurious chair next to her.

"Let's start." Qingmu Junsu saw Gu Can sitting down, then gave instructions to the person next to him.

There were many young ladies of marriageable age, and Qingmu Jun, a young and promising man with extraordinary beauty, was the dream lover of many women. Therefore, everyone was eager to show their best side.

De Jong is outstanding in many aspects, including speech and skills.

The final palace selection was based on family background, from low to high, with five people coming up each time. Qingmu Junsu, whenever he saw Gu Can had no interest in opening his eyes, would simply give him the sachet and let him go.

The beauties who got the sachets were all in a gloomy mood. Many girls saw Qingmu Junsu from afar and were attracted to him, but they eventually left with regret.

Until the last row of beauties came up. Hearing the name, Gu Can opened his eyes with interest.

The five little girls who came up this time were Chang Ru, the legitimate daughter of General Chang, Chu Rou, the second legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, Shang Rong, the eldest legitimate granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue, He Wanwan, the concubine daughter of the Minister of War, and Helan Min, the daughter of the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.

These five girls all came from distinguished families, each with their own distinct appearances. Chang Ru was tall, heroic, and agile, Chu Rou was gentle, docile, and dignified, Shang Rong was elegant and refined, both talented and beautiful. He Wanwan was charming yet not gaudy. He Lanmin wasn't particularly striking in appearance, a simple, delicate beauty, but she possessed a certain elegance, as the saying goes: "A man of learning is naturally elegant."

Gu Can took a closer look and discovered that among the five, the one with the Phoenix Fate was surprisingly He Lanmin. In the original worldline, He Lanmin had been eliminated. The specific reason was unknown, but it was only briefly mentioned that He Lanmin withdrew early from the audition due to health reasons.

"Could Miss Helan please come forward and talk?" Gu Can asked.

"Then please ask Miss Helan to come forward." Qingmu Junsu said. Helan Min also stepped forward and saluted politely, not looking directly at the emperor.

"Big Sister, just ask whatever you want to ask." Qingmu Junsu said. Gu Can glanced at him, then stood up and walked down to Helan Min.

"Please forgive my rudeness, young lady." After saying this, Gu Can took Helan Min's hand and took her pulse.

There's nothing wrong with it. She's just like the ladies of today, never leaving the house and lacking exercise.

Gu Can took a closer look and realized that Helan Min didn't have a crush on anyone. Her heart was definitely with Qingmu Junsu. Since she was born with the Phoenix Fate, the two of them were truly a perfect match.

Seeing Gu Can like this, Qingmu Junsu also guessed that the person Gu Can chose was probably Helan Min. Qingmu Junsu also looked at Helan Min with interest.

In terms of appearance, she was not outstanding among the five people, let alone standing in front of Gu Can. However, she was calm and composed enough. Although she was a weak woman, she could feel an unyielding will and the spirit of a scholar standing tall and upright just by standing there. The pride that many scholars could not find was present in this woman.

The aura of the whole body really attracts people's attention unconsciously.

Helan University Scholar came from a humble family, possessing a virtuous character and exceptional talent. Even after passing the imperial examination, he never took a concubine. His family was simple and harmonious, a fact renowned in the Qingmu Kingdom. Helan Min was the only legitimate daughter, and she had three older brothers, all of whom were also talented and incorruptible officials.

Regardless of her family background or knowledge, Helan Min is worthy of being the mother of the nation.

It seems like a good idea to marry a woman like this and spend the rest of your life with her.

So Qingmu Junsu directly issued an edict, making Helan Min the queen, and gave all the other beautiful girls sachets and allowed them to go home and marry on their own.

"Ms. Shang Rong, please stay." Gu Can stopped Shang Rong who was about to leave.

"Miss, what do you want to see me for?" Shang Rong also saw Qingmu Junsu's attitude towards Gu Can during the palace selection just now. What's more, there has been a rumor in the palace that there is a stunningly beautiful woman in the palace, who is the emperor's eldest sister. The two have been childhood sweethearts, and the emperor treats her with great courtesy and cherishes her.

"Miss, you are not from this world. Why do you have to be bound by rules and regulations and not be able to be yourself?" Gu Can directly told Shang Rong her origins, which shocked Shang Rong.

"The emperor came to Lianxia Mountain in his early years and practiced Taoism with my parents. If you want to stay away from the mundane world and live a carefree life, I will be waiting for you on the mountain in three days." After Gu Can finished speaking, he left the palace directly.

Shang Rong saw Gu Can disappear in the blink of an eye.

She was filled with wonder and doubt. Could there really be gods in this world? Could they see through her otherworldly origins? Perhaps they could send her back, or perhaps she would have a different opportunity.

She looked back at the magnificent palace, but she didn't want to be confined by such a small space.

Three days later, Shang Rong arrived at the foot of Lianxia Mountain and appeared at the entrance of the Taoist temple in the blink of an eye.

Gu Can opened the door.

"Come in." Shang Rong followed him in. It was the statue of the Three Pure Ones. She had been in this world for eighteen years, and she had never heard anyone mention the Three Pure Ones.

"This world is huge, and you have only seen so much. You and I are of the same age, so I will accept you as my disciple on behalf of my parents. After I finish my business here, I will take you to find my parents. Now you just need to kowtow to the Three Pure Ones first." Gu Can said.

Shang Rong then kowtowed to the Three Pure Ones as instructed.

"This is our Taoist temple. Ordinary people can't come here. This is my parents' room, this is my room, and that small courtyard belongs to Qingmu Junsu and your senior brother. You can choose any of the other rooms you want to live in." Gu Can took Shang Rong to visit the Taoist temple.

"Senior sister, what should I learn?" Shang Rong asked.

"Then what do you want to learn?" Gu Can asked back.

"Moving mountains and filling the sea, calling the wind and rain, immortality, and having supernatural powers?" Shang Rong also asked tentatively.

"Okay!" Gu Can nodded with a smile.

"Really?"

"Of course." Gu Can said as he casually cast a spiritual rain spell. Shang Rong saw a rain cloud gathering above the peach tree in front of her, and then it began to rain, watering only that peach tree.

Gu Can waved his hand again, and the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

"But isn't it said that those who practice Taoism need spiritual roots? And senior sister, you can see that I am not from this world. Is this possession? Am I an evil cultivator?" Shang Rong has also read Taoism novels!

"Although you are not from this world, you are not someone who has taken over another's body. This is you. Originally, there shouldn't be a Shang Rong in this world, but with your coming, many things have changed. You are a variable and a disaster, so little sister, you must practice well and keep your original heart. When you succeed in your cultivation, everything will be fine." Gu Can said.

"I am a variable and also a disaster. Is my arrival a disaster for this world?" Shang Rong didn't understand.

"It's not that powerful. Don't worry, since you are my junior sister, we will naturally protect you. There is no need to force things. Just let nature take its course." Gu Can comforted.

"Well, okay." Shang Rong looked at Gu Can's firm and gentle eyes and soon felt relieved.

With Gu Can's strength, there was no need to lie to her. She had nothing to lie to. Even if Gu Can knew her golden finger, it was just buying modern things. For an immortal, what was so strange about it? She didn't believe that immortals really liked to eat spicy strips!

"Then senior sister, when are we going to see Master and Madam?" Shang Rong asked.

"After your senior brother gets married." Gu Can returned.

"Senior brother's wedding is still three months away. The wedding of the emperor and empress cannot be sloppy at all." Shang Rong said.

"Then you will practice with me for the next three months. It's quiet in the mountains, and you can cultivate your mind. People who practice cultivation must be able to endure loneliness. Sometimes, months or years will pass in seclusion." Gu Can said.

"Then I'll listen to you, senior sister." Shang Rong was also well-behaved.
