Shen Li knew that Emperor Ruikang was speaking from the heart. If he didn't love Wen Xiangning, he would have married her off to a distant place or used her to balance the power in the court. How could he marry anyone he wanted?

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will never let Her Royal Highness the Princess down." Shen Han promised.

"Okay, I'm still confident in your character." After saying this, Emperor Ruikang looked at Shen Li and said, "Miss Shen, I have agreed to your request. Are you satisfied?"

Shen Li bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very satisfied."

"But your contributions these two times are really not insignificant. Are you willing to use them on others?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to do so. For me, my family is the most important people. And to be honest, the princess is also my friend, so I hope they live a good life."

Ruikangdi nodded: "Okay, you are a loyal girl. In view of your loyalty, I can grant you another wish. Tell me, what do you want?"

Shen Li was very surprised by Rui Kangdi's words. She didn't expect that not only would what she asked for be successful, but she would also get extra benefits. However, even though he said so, she couldn't mention it.

Making exceptions is already very difficult for the imperial family, and she cannot be greedy, otherwise it will arouse the emperor's suspicion and he will accuse her of being greedy.

But I can't refuse directly. The emperor said he would reward me, and if I refuse, I would be ungrateful.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what I want right now. Can I save it up and come back to you when I think of what I want?"

Rui Kangdi's eyes sparkled, and then he laughed: "Okay, I agree."

Shen Li let out a breath without leaving a trace. This should mean he has passed, right?

"You two, since you said you want to use the reward on Miss Shen, then there will be nothing left. Don't blame me for being stingy." Emperor Ruikang said to Qin Yu and Jin Duobao.

"I have no complaints." Qin Yu said.

"I have no complaints." Jin Duobao said.

Rui Kangdi glanced at Jin Duobao, then at Shen Li, and narrowed his eyes in understanding: "Alright, everyone leave."

"I'm waiting to retire."

After leaving the palace, Shen Li's heart finally settled down. During the disaster relief, she was willing to help the people. Now she could help her elder brother and the princess, which was a pleasant surprise.

Before, she was worried about their relationship. After all, this was a difficult problem and not as simple as granting a marriage.

To put it bluntly, even if the emperor wanted to, he would not dare to break it easily.

What does the emperor want?

"Do you think today's matter is too easy? Why did the emperor agree so easily?"

"Did you notice it?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Shen Li said, looking at Jin Duobao, and found that he also looked clear: "Do you know what's going on?"

"Your Majesty should just go with the flow." Jin Duobao said.

"Are you saying that the emperor has long wanted to break this rule?"

"should be."

"But why?" Shen Li couldn't understand. The reason why the emperor didn't allow the prince consort to participate in state affairs was, to put it bluntly, because he was afraid that the prince consort would have too much power and would threaten the throne in the future.

It is understandable that others want to change, but this is a good thing for the emperor, why should he change it?

"Who can know what the emperor is thinking? But the emperor is a wise ruler. Maybe he thinks this rule is not good, so he wants to break it? Or maybe he has some unknown purpose, or maybe he is confident and is not afraid that the prince consort has real power." Jin Duobao said.

Qin Yu nodded: "And your two contributions are actually really not small, and you spent so much money. Now that you mention this matter, it is just right to shut up those conservative old officials."

Shen Li grinned: "The affairs of the court are really complicated. The emperor's mind is even more difficult to understand. But for me, I just want my brother and the princess to be together happily and happily. I don't care about anything else."

"Well, I think whatever Ali thinks."

Jin Duobao glanced at the two of them and said nothing.

"Brother Jin, thank you." Shen Li knew that if Jin Duobao hadn't given her all his credit, perhaps things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

"No need, Ali, there is no need for us to thank each other for a long time."

Shen Li nodded: "Well, anyway, if you need my help, don't hesitate."

Qin Yu listened to the two people's conversation and said with a sour look: "Mr. Jin, since you are A-Li's elder brother, then after A-Li and I get married, you will be my elder brother. If you need my help, you are welcome."

"No need, I don't need a younger brother. Besides, you haven't gotten married yet, so you'd better not call me that, Lord Qin, or you'll sound like I'm old." Jin Duobao said gritting his teeth.

This person is really shameless.

"It doesn't matter. Getting married is a matter of time. After all, the emperor has already agreed to the marriage between the princess and my elder brother. Oh, isn't my elder brother calling you? He should grant the marriage soon. By then, Ali and I will be getting married soon."

Jin Duobao then realized that this man was so shameless that he had to admit defeat.

Shen Li watched the two of them arguing with each other and didn't dare to get involved.

The imperial decree granting the marriage came down on the third day, and the wedding date was set on the sixth day of November three months later.

Because he was marrying a princess, many things were prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

In this way, the Shen family will save some trouble and there will be enough time.

This time when he returned to Kyoto, Shen Li brought Wu Zhong with him. Now he is re-planning the delivery team. In fact, the Kyoto workshop does not have much of a delivery team. It is just the people arranged by Meng Huaying who are temporarily taking over.

Now that Wu Zhong is here, we can reorganize it.

The terraced fields have been successfully built, so the problem of flower supply has been solved, and the workshops in Kyoto will no longer be short of anything.

So a delivery team really needs to be set up.

Of course, Shen Li didn't have to do any of these things. She was helping to prepare for her eldest brother and the princess' wedding, but she didn't understand anything about the marriage-related matters.

Although I say I am helping, I can't really help much.

She also heard that Gu Cheng'an had married Shen Yanyan not long after she left Beijing. There was no grand ceremony, just a sedan chair carried them into the house.

Shen Li was naturally not surprised, but he felt a little sad.

Shen Yanyan, the heroine in the original book, unexpectedly became the concubine of the second male lead in the book.

The biggest reason for this trend must be her, but she did not do it on purpose. If Shen Yanyan did not harm her, she would naturally not be her enemy.

Even when she thought Qin Yu and she were a couple, she hid herself and did not get involved between them.

But for some reason, all the men who had a crush on Shen Yanyan in the original book began to like her. Could it be that she, the cannon fodder in the original book, has acquired the charming attributes of the heroine?
