Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

On the way back, Bai Jin also got into the carriage. Because Shen Li had bought motion sickness medicine at the market, the journey was smooth and safe, without suffering from motion sickness again. The whole person was like a cheerful lark, chirping non-stop.

Bai Jin responded to her words from time to time, but most of the time he would stare at the little girl with a smile on his face, thinking to himself: How lucky I would be if I could have such a smart and lovely daughter in the future.

Shen Li had no idea that this young man, who had just graduated from high school in modern times, actually treated her like his own daughter with great expectations.

On the way back, Shen Li's thoughts were drawn to the system mall, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

These past few nights, she was like a persistent treasure hunter, tirelessly refreshing the pages in the system mall over and over again.

Every refresh is like turning on the unknown wheel of fate, full of anticipation and anxiety.

And fate seemed to be particularly kind to her. In her unremitting search, she unexpectedly obtained several rain talismans and 6 bone-purifying pills.

This rain-making talisman is a magical treasure. In fact, it is extremely easy to use. It is completely different from the previous rain-making ceremonies that require the careful arrangement of the incense table, the kowtow ceremony, and a lot of red tape.

Shen Li had her own detailed plans at the beginning.

She thought to herself that if she could use the rain-making talisman in a grand and glorious manner, it would surely be like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the court and attracting widespread attention from court officials.

These officials are well-informed. They are like a group of busy messengers who will pass the news up layer by layer, like a relay race, and eventually the news will inevitably reach the ears of the emperor.

Once this happened, the credit for successfully praying for rain would fall firmly on her head, so she arranged for the incense table to be set up and for the people to kowtow.

Shen Li was so eager to get the credit, and she had deep thoughts behind it.

In this world where the feudal system is like a huge and tight net, she went through untold hardships to gain that precious family affection.

To her, this family love is like a bright light in the darkness and a clear spring in the desert, which is extremely precious.

She held this family affection carefully in her hands, regarded it as the most precious thing in her life, and would never allow anyone to damage it in the slightest.

Therefore, she must try her best to obtain the emperor's reward. Only in this way can she have enough ability to protect her family.

Fortunately, things developed as smoothly as the script she had carefully planned.

She successfully used the rain talisman five times to bring down the rain, and she also presented high-yield grain seeds. This was really a big surprise, and the emperor was very pleased.

The emperor was so happy that he actually issued an edict to confer the title of Xiangjun on her.

This sudden and great honor made Shen Li recall the day when the emperor summoned her alone.

The emperor is a handsome middle-aged man with an elegant face and dignity.

At that time, Shen Li frowned slightly and looked at the emperor with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

The emperor keenly noticed her gaze, and with a gentle smile on his face, he asked softly, "Little girl, why are you looking at me like that?"

When Shen Li heard the emperor's question, he saluted respectfully and said, "Uncle Emperor, to be honest, aren't you angry?"

The emperor laughed heartily after hearing her words. The laughter echoed in the empty hall. He said, "Your uncle, the emperor, is not such a stingy person. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak. I just called you here today to have a casual chat."

When Shen Li heard the emperor say this, her expression eased a little. She pretended to be very casual and said, "Uncle Emperor, you asked me to come here, but you want to ask about the magic medicine?"

Before the emperor could respond, she poured out her words like beans from a bamboo tube, "I still have two pills of this magic medicine left, but because I was young and ignorant, I gave one to Mr. Zhang's housekeeper.

As a result, the news spread like wildfire, and people were talking about it! So, I didn't dare to bring it out in the hall again, for fear that those with ulterior motives would get on my mind.

After saying this, she pretended to rummage through her package. In fact, she had already placed the two so-called "magic pills" in an exquisitely crafted wooden box that she had prepared in advance.

She held the wooden box in both hands and handed it to the emperor respectfully.

At that time, the emperor was really overjoyed. His face was full of smiles and he looked at Shen Li with joy. Then he gently opened the exquisite box in front of her.

Shen Li saw clearly that the emperor's eyes widened slightly, and saw that the pill was golden in color, as if it was really like the legendary elixir. Anyone who saw it would probably be attracted to it and yearn for it.

The emperor could not hide his joy. He carefully put the pill away and then looked at Shen Li with expectation in his eyes. He asked, "Is there really no way for you to get in touch with your master?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Li's face showed embarrassment, and also a bit of grievance. She slowly lowered her head and replied softly, "Master didn't leave me any contact information. He just said that everything depends on fate and we will meet again if we are destined. I want to try raising a fairy pet for the same reason. If it succeeds, maybe Master will hear the news and come back!"

Although the emperor had doubts after hearing this, as the little girl wasn't telling the truth, he felt comforted by the fact that he had obtained two magical pills. As for the fairy pet, although he felt regretful, he had no choice but to comfort Shen Li gently with a few words full of concern.

Afterwards, the emperor began to make arrangements and ordered people to escort Shen Li and Bai Jin out of the palace safely.

The majestic gate of the imperial palace slowly opened. Shen Li and Bai Jin bid farewell to the solemn and mysterious palace and embarked on their journey back to the palace.
