Emperor Ruikang looked at an official Shen Li did not recognize and said, "Qi Qingjia, I'll leave this to you. You will send it to the officials of each county and ask them to implement it as soon as possible."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Also, the construction of the terraces is also under the jurisdiction of your Ministry of Works. Please arrange it as soon as possible."

Shen Li roughly guessed what this person did. He should be the Minister of Works.

"Your Majesty, my second brother is also in the Ministry of Works. He is now the head of the Ministry of Works. Can he also participate in this construction?"

Rui Kangdi looked at the Minister of Industry and asked, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the person in charge of the Ministry of Works is called Shen Liang. I know that although he has only been here for more than a year, his craftsmanship is indeed outstanding. I didn't expect that he is the younger brother of Minister Shen and the second brother of Miss Shen. Even if Miss Shen didn't say it, I would have let him participate." Minister Qi said.

Emperor Ruikang looked at Shen Han and said, "Mr. Shen, I didn't expect that everyone in your family is talented. Why don't you tell me how many brothers and sisters you have?"

"Your Majesty, I am the eldest in the family. My second brother is Shen Liang, the head of the Ministry of Works. My third brother is a free and easy-going person and is now making his way in the world. And then there is my only sister, Shen Li." Shen Han said.

"So your third brother must be very good at kung fu?"

"I don't know martial arts, but I should be able to do it."

Emperor Ruikang looked at Shen Han and Shen Li, and when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the people in the Shen family were really capable. Shen Han had won three top honors in the imperial examinations, was a decent person, and was dedicated to working for the court.

The second son, Shen Liang, has only been in the Ministry of Works for more than a year, but he has been able to become the head of the Ministry of Works. His craftsmanship must be impeccable.

The third brother is good at martial arts, and the youngest sister is good at business and is even smarter. If she were not a woman, he would really like to appoint her to an official position.

Speaking of the third brother, he was really tempted and wanted him to be a palace guard or join the imperial guards. Wouldn't it be a waste to have such a good talent in the underworld?

But the temper of this kind of people in the martial arts world is unrestrained and uncontrolled, and he has never seen such a person before. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

"Qi Qingjia, Qin Qingjia, I will leave the terraced field test and construction to you two. You must do a good job on this matter." After saying this, Emperor Ruikang looked at Shen Li again: "Miss Shen, after all, it was you who came up with the idea. If they have any questions, they will need your guidance."

"I will tell you everything I know." Shen Li felt that she would not be of any use to him. With her second brother around, she only needed to tell him everything she knew about terraced fields, and Shen Liang could research the rest on his own, and might even do better.

"Okay, as long as it succeeds, it will be a great achievement, and I will naturally reward you handsomely when the time comes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

Only after leaving the palace did Shen Li relax. Although she was not very afraid of the emperor, he was the supreme ruler here after all. One mistake could cost her life. She thought again and again while she spoke.

Qin Yu looked at her with amusement: "Are you that scared? Just now in the palace, I saw that you were quite brave and even put forward conditions to the emperor."

Shen Li glared at him: "You make it sound so easy, but he's the emperor. If I say something wrong, it could be all over."

"It's not that exaggerated. The current emperor is a wise ruler and it's not easy to kill him. Even if you say something wrong, you won't lose your life."

Shen Li also knew this, but she was still nervous. She looked at Shen Han: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yu signaled Shen Li with his eyes.

Shen Li followed his gaze and it seemed to be Princess Xiang Ning. Was Shen Han silent because he saw her?

"Brother, if this is accomplished, the emperor will reward me. I would like to ask the emperor to grant you and the princess a marriage, okay?"

"No, Ali, my affairs are not that simple, you'd better not get involved."

"I understand. Don't worry, I won't act rashly, but I will help you." Shen Li said and looked at Qin Yu: "He will help you too."

Qin Yu nodded: "Yes, brother, I will also find a way to help you."

"I appreciate your kindness, but the princess and I are not what you think, so you should just stay out of this matter."

Shen Li wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Yu: "We know."

After Shen Han got on the carriage, Shen Li asked Qin Yu: "What do you mean?"

"Brother doesn't want us to intervene. He must have given up. If you force him to intervene, he will worry."

Shen Han may have felt that there was no hope for this matter, so he had given up long ago. He was afraid that if they intervened, he would implicate them, or that the final result would not be what he wanted, so it would be better to do nothing.

"I understand. If I'm not sure, I won't speak easily."

Qin Yu nodded: "Well, let's wait until the right opportunity comes."

Shen Li knew that this matter could not be rushed. Now she remembered another thing, so she went to the carriage: "Brother, you go back first. Qin Yu and I want to go out for a walk."

Shen Han lifted the carriage curtain: "Go ahead, be careful."

After the carriage left, Qin Yu looked at Shen Li and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't want to go shopping, I just have something to tell you."

"Then go to my house?"

"Goodbye, let's move on." In fact, Shen Li didn't know what to say.

The two of them walked forward aimlessly. Shen Li never spoke, and Qin Yu didn't urge them.

"Qin Yu, is Huo Nanlian your enemy?"

"Well, didn't I tell you that?"

"So you just want to take revenge on her, General Huo Jian, Gu Cheng'an, and even Prime Minister Gu, do you have any plans for these people?"

"What do you want to say?" Qin Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Do you know who the father of the princess's deceased consort Yu Bin is?" Shen Li really couldn't think of what to say, so he could only be direct.

"Well, his name is Yu Tian, ​​and he and Huo Nanlian are childhood sweethearts. They had a secret relationship before, but Huo Jian always disagreed. Later, he moved out of the general's mansion and got married. I already knew all this. What's the problem?"

Shen Li pondered for a moment and said, "I heard some rumors that Yu Bin seemed to have an affair with Huo Nanlian. Do you think there is any other hidden reason behind his death? Could it be that Huo Nanlian killed him to silence him?"

Qin Yu stopped and looked at Shen Li with narrowed eyes: "Where did you hear that?"
