Jing Le stayed up all night and half a day to make the six protective magical artifacts, each of which was decorated with various talismans.
Each talisman complements the others, causing their effects to multiply.
It can protect against a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator. Once Jing Le's strength increases, he can directly stack array runes for even better results.
The item prepared for Emperor Jing was a dark-colored jade pendant in the shape of a dragon, which she had personally carved.
The Imperial Concubine wore a red glass bracelet, while the Third Prince, Ninth Prince, Duan Feibai, and Duan Shulan all wore jade pendants with their own inscriptions.
All the jade stones are from Jingyue Space's collection. Jade stones contain abundant spiritual energy, and wearing them on your body year-round is beneficial to your health.
After packing everything, Jing Le finally went out.
"Little princess, this is my sister, Duan Shulan. Thank you for saving my life, princess."
Duan Feibai and Duan Shulan had been waiting outside the door all morning without showing any dissatisfaction. Upon seeing Jing Le, they immediately knelt down.
He heard his sister's story yesterday. If Emperor Jing hadn't sent people in time, his sister might have died, perhaps even in humiliation.
It was Jing Le's appearance that saved them.
"Thank you so much, little princess, for saving my life."
Duan Shulan was poised and elegant, and her resemblance to Duan Feibai surprised Jing Le.
[Uh, another beauty has appeared beside me. The beauty is Duan Feibai's older sister, which means she's my sister! Ahhh, I really want to get close to this pretty older sister!]
"No need to be polite. You are Fei Bai's older sister, which means you are my older sister too. Please get up."
Duan Feibai couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Jing Le's complaints. The little princess is so cute.
Duan Shulan met Jing Le's clear eyes, and her heart calmed down. This time, she had probably met a good person.
“Little princess, my brother and I have lost our country and home. We were saved by you. From now on, we will serve you as your servants.”
"Please, little princess, accept us," Duan Feibai said, the two of them, one small and one large, looking at Jing Le with pleading expressions.
After all, he's still young and hasn't recovered his strength yet. Saying he'll protect Jing Le is just empty talk. If they really encounter danger, he might have to rely on the little princess to save him.
Now I have no choice but to swallow my pride and beg for shelter.
"It's no big deal. You can come along if you want, but you're not servants. You'll be my older brothers and sisters. Don't call me little princess anymore, just call me Lele."
After Jing Le finished speaking, she pulled two small wooden boxes from her bosom and handed them out:
"This is for Brother Feibai, and this is for Sister Lan'er. You must always carry these with you, as they can save your lives."
Duan Feibai, who was initially reluctant to accept the box, immediately took it, along with Duan Shulan's: "Thank you, Lele. We will definitely keep it with us at all times and never let it out of our sight."
"That's good. I'll go deliver something to Father Emperor first. You can do as you please." Jing Le went out and called out, "Xiao Bai, come here and take me to Father Emperor."
Duan Shulan initially thought Jing Le was calling for Duan Feibai, but in the blink of an eye, a two-meter-tall giant white tiger leaped out from the corner, scaring her so much that her face turned pale, and she immediately tried to run away:
"Feibai, there's a tiger! Quickly save the little princess!"
"Don't worry, sister, that white tiger is Lele's mount."
Duan Feibai pulled his terrified older sister aside and began to explain.
"A mount?" This was the first time Duan Shulan had ever heard of someone using a tiger as a mount.
"Yes, you see."
The large white tiger outside the door was already lying on the ground, obediently letting Jing Le climb onto its back.
"Set off."
Upon receiving the order, he darted away like lightning, disappearing from Duan Shulan's and Duan Shulan's sight.
Duan Shulan felt that her worldview had been shattered; this Dayong Imperial Palace was truly strange.
"By the way, Fei Bai, why didn't you refuse the little princess's gift? We've already troubled her too much; it wouldn't be right to accept another gift."
"Sister, you don't know this, but Lele is very capable. Her master is Master Liaowu. The little princess learned skills from the master. If Lele says this thing can save your life, then it definitely can."
Duan Feibai continued, "Do you remember what I said last night? I was being controlled by a mysterious force, and it was Lele who used her real skills to save me."
This was a reasonable explanation he could come up with; after all, Jing Le was using more and more of his abilities, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
It would be best to find a suitable reason, and coincidentally, it was Master Liaowu who adopted her, which would provide the perfect excuse.
Jing Le was unaware that someone had found a perfect excuse for her abilities; it couldn't be more thoughtful.
...
The Imperial Study.
Emperor Jing had been processing memorials here all morning. It was summer, and an official from the south reported that...
The heavens have not brought rain for a long time, and the earth has begun to dry up. If this continues, there will be no harvest, and we will probably not escape a severe drought.
However, the northern officials said...
This year, rainfall in northern China has increased dramatically, and it has been raining continuously for a month. If it doesn't stop, not only will the crops in the fields be destroyed, but people will also drown.
These problems are giving me a real headache.
When the weather turns bad and the people suffer, he can only try to minimize the damage.
"Your Majesty, Princess Anle requests an audience."
Eunuch Xu interrupted Emperor Jing's thoughts.
"Lele is here, let her in quickly."
Emperor Jing rubbed his temples, put down the memorial, and said, "Xu Hai, have the imperial kitchen prepare some snacks."
"Yes, this old servant will go right away." Eunuch Xu bowed and withdrew.
A short while later, Jing Le brought Xiao Bai to the Imperial Study, with Bai Hu guarding outside.
"Father, I've come to give you a gift."
Jing Le jogged over to the table and placed a small wooden box in front of Emperor Jing.
"Oh, Lele is giving a gift to her father, how filial she is."
Emperor Jing held Jing Le in his arms and opened the wooden box in that position.
