The Empress nodded in satisfaction. "Since that's the case, pick a date to set off. I'll inform the county magistrate of Lingsu. As for manpower, you can bring as many people as you want. If this flood is cured, I'll reward you handsomely! "
"Yes!"
The Empress waved her sleeves. "Court is dismissed!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty. Long live the Empress!"
After the Empress left, Shen Wanqing sighed. She had only opened for business for a few days, and now she had to deal with another troublesome task.
She turned around and suddenly met Shen Yi's gloomy eyes. Shen Wanqing raised her eyebrows leisurely and smiled at Shen Yi casually.
Shen Yi suppressed the anger in her heart, walked over, and flattered her with a fake smile. "Congratulations, Third Elder Sister. Sixth Younger Sister will wait for Third Elder Sister's successful return."
Originally, this flood was Shen Yi's chance to completely turn things around. She didn't expect that Shen Wanqing would snatch it away at the last minute!
Shen Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, her long eyelashes resting on her eyelids. She glanced at Shen Yi and smiled. "Thank you for your auspicious words."
Her attitude was too calm, as if she didn't care about Shen Yi at all.
Shen Yi put on a fake smile. "Just now in the court, Third Elder Sister's opinion was unique and hit the nail on the head. Compared to Third Elder Sister, Sixth Younger Sister is really ashamed of her inferiority. From now on, Sixth Younger Sister needs to learn more from Third Elder Sister. I hope Third Elder Sister will not be stingy with your guidance. "
Shen Wanqing casually replied, "Sure, sure."
The palace servant walked to Shen Wanqing, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, the Empress is waiting for you in the imperial study."
She raised her eyebrows. "Alright, this consort understands."
Then, Shen Wanqing glanced at Shen Yi. When she caught a glimpse of the jealousy on Shen Yi's face, Shen Wanqing smiled faintly and said slowly, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Sixth Sister."
Shen Yi smiled. "Third Sister, take care."
Looking at Shen Wanqing's back as she left, Shen Yi stomped on the ground fiercely, then turned around and left angrily.
When they arrived at the imperial study, Shen Wanqing bowed to the Empress. The Empress said, "There are only the two of us here. Qingqing, you don't have to be so courteous. Zhen called you here to discuss the matter of the flood. What do you think about my decision to send you to control the flood? "
Hearing this, Shen Wanqing lowered her long eyelashes. She nodded indifferently and said, "I don't have any thoughts."
"I want to hear the truth from you!" The Empress's face darkened.
Shen Wanqing pursed her lips. "I really don't have any other thoughts. The matter of controlling the flood is urgent. As a citizen of the Yingshang Dynasty, I have the responsibility and the ability to share the burden with the people. "
Her official tone made it impossible to refute.
The Empress looked at her and sighed. "The journey will be tough. You have to take good care of yourself."
"Yes."
…
…
After returning to the Sixth Princess' residence, Shen Yi thought about what had happened in the imperial court today and her heart was filled with anger.
When she returned to her room, Lin Yan, who was dressed elegantly in white, happened to be playing the guqin in the room. The window in the room opened and the peach blossom petals in the courtyard blew in with the wind, landing on the young man's white robe.
Shen Yi looked at the beautiful Lin Yan and the anger in her heart dissipated. Lin Yan heard the commotion outside the door and put down the guqin in his hands.
Lin Yan looked up and a smile appeared on his beautiful face. "Wife, you're back."
"Mmm." Shen Yi nodded and walked over.
"What's the matter? Wife, you don't look too happy. "Lin Yan asked gently.
