After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

In this way, he would no longer be able to reward money or anything like that.

As for gemstones, jade, calligraphy and paintings, etc., I guess they would be considered unsuitable as businessmen to be rewarded with these.

But what made her happy was that Emperor Ruikang did not give rewards blindly, but actually asked them what they wanted. In this way, she didn't have to mention it herself, but could just say what she wanted.

At this time, Qin Yu couldn't speak first, but Jin Duobao didn't say anything either.

Then she must have come first.

"Your Majesty, can I really ask for something myself?"

"Of course, I am serious. I allow you to make one wish, but if you want the moon in the sky, I cannot do it even if I am the emperor. So, Miss Shen, please don't ask for something that I cannot do, okay?" Emperor Ruikang said meaningfully.

Shen Li understood what this meant, which was to tell her not to ask for too much.

But she had already thought about what she wanted, and no matter whether she could get her way or not, there was no turning back at this point.

"Your Majesty, I do have a wish, and I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it." Shen Li bowed his head and saluted.

"tell me the story."

"Your Majesty, my brother Shen Han and Princess Xiangning are in love with each other. I hope Your Majesty can help them get married. Also, if possible, please don't let my brother resign." After Shen Li finished speaking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruikangdi was silent for a moment.

Shen Li stood there waiting anxiously.

"Your Majesty, this is the reward I want. I beg Your Majesty to grant it." Qin Yu said.

And Jin Duobao also spoke up: "Your Majesty, I also ask for this reward."

Emperor Ruikang looked at the three people standing below and began to think: "I can help them and grant them marriage. After all, Xiang Ning is also my sister. If she has someone she likes, I am happy to help her. But in my dynasty, the prince consorts are not allowed to participate in government affairs. Do you want me to break this rule?"

"Your Majesty, even if the prince consort is a member of the royal family, this does not conflict with serving the court. Moreover, Minister Shen is a talented person who has won the top three places in the imperial examinations. It would be a waste if such a person is left at home idle. Your Majesty will lose a capable minister, and the people will lose a good official. Your Majesty, please think twice." Qin Yu said.

"Your Majesty, for this disaster relief, I spent 500,000 taels of silver on buying medicinal materials along the way, and Miss Shen also spent 500,000 taels of silver on buying food. Silver is a small matter, but buying food and medicine in advance was Miss Shen's idea. I only paid half of the silver, so please Your Majesty, consider Miss Shen's contribution and agree to her request. As for me, you don't need the reward." Jin Duobao said.

Shen Li felt warm at heart when he heard this, and at the same time he sighed that it was true that Jin Duobao, the emperor's uncle, spoke differently to the emperor.

Emperor Ruikang chuckled, "Jin Duobao, I asked you to be an official, but you said it was boring and insisted on doing business. Except for the palace banquet during the Lantern Festival, it was difficult for me to see you. Now you are actively begging me? And what do you mean by mentioning the silver? Do you want me to return the silver to you?"

"Your Majesty, that is not what I meant. I meant that everything is due to Miss Shen's efforts. Please agree to her request."

Emperor Ruikang glanced at the three of them, and finally fixed his eyes on Shen Li: "Miss Shen, the terrace construction you proposed has been successful, which is also a great achievement. I also said at the beginning that if it can be successful, I will definitely reward you. I wonder what reward you want for this achievement?"

"Your Majesty, I have already said what I want. If possible, Your Majesty can also count this credit towards the matter I proposed and consider it as appropriate."

Ruikangdi narrowed his eyes, as if he was considering it.

What needed to be said had been said, and the three people standing in the hall naturally did not say anything more. For a moment, the hall fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Ruikangdi's decision.

At this time, a young eunuch walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the princess and the Minister of Personnel, Lord Shen, request to see you."

"Let them in."

After a while, Wen Xiangning and Shen Han entered the hall.

"My dear sister, please see your royal brother."

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Everyone, get up. You are all here for the same thing, right?" Ruikangdi thought clearly.

"Royal brother, I have never asked you for anything since I was a child, and I know that you love me. This time, I would like to ask you to help me and Lord Shen get together, right?" Wen Xiangning said.

"Xiang Ning, my brother has always been considerate of you, but you also know that if it was just a marriage, my brother would not refuse you. But if Shen Han continues to serve as an official in the court, it is against the old rules. As a member of the royal family, you should understand, right?"

Wen Xiangning swallowed the bitterness in her heart and said, "I understand. I am sorry to embarrass you, brother. But you also know what kind of person Lord Shen is. He is a good official. If he becomes a consort, I really can't bear to see him give up his official career, nor can I bear to see the court lose a good official who truly works for the people."

Emperor Ruikang looked at Shen Han again: "Minister Shen, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I really like Your Highness. Even if I can't continue to work for the court, I am willing to marry Your Highness. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

Emperor Ruikang looked at the five people standing below and sighed, "I can agree to grant the marriage, or I can go against the old rules and let Shen Han continue to serve in the court. But if I am willing, those old ministers may not agree. When the time comes, they will definitely come to make trouble for me. Just thinking about it gives me a headache."

Wen Xiangning's face was suddenly filled with surprise, and she bowed to Emperor Ruikang: "Thank you, my royal brother."

Shen Han and Shen Li, as well as Jin Duobao and Qin Yu, said together: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Alright you guys, you just know how to cause trouble for me."

"Royal brother, is there anything I can do?" Wen Xiangning asked.

"Can you, the person involved, hide away?" Ruikangdi said unhappily.

Shen Li watched how the two interacted and the tone of their conversation and knew that they had a really good relationship and that Rui Kangdi truly loved his sister Wen Xiangning.

Being born in a royal family, it is truly precious to have such feelings.

"Your Majesty, please tell me what you need me to do." Shen Han said.

"Me too." Qin Yu said.

Jin Duobao and Shen Li followed suit and bowed, but they didn't say anything. After all, they were not in the court and could not help much.

"Minister Shen, do you know why I decided to agree to this?"

"The emperor truly loves Her Royal Highness the Princess." Shen Han said.

"That's right. Xiang Ning and I have had a good relationship since we were young. Over the years, she is the one I love the most. If you hadn't expressed your willingness to give up your official position to marry her, I might not have agreed so quickly. After that, I would have handed her over to you. You must treat her well. Her previous husband died suddenly, and it's rare for her to have someone she likes again in these years. I also want her to be happier."
