However, the current situation is different from the past. Since the current emperor cannot get close to any woman, which has led to the extinction of the royal heir, even if the prince lives in the palace, it will not cause such concerns.

In addition, this prince will definitely ascend the throne as emperor in the future, and all the women in the palace will naturally be under his command.

For the above reasons, he temporarily lived in the palace.

Seeing Shen Muxue's sincere words and constant smile, the emperor asked her dotingly, "Are your sisters all so kind to you? Your whole family must be very compassionate to you, right?"

Recalling the previous night when she had said the same thing when she requested a marriage for her sister, the emperor secretly speculated that perhaps everything Miss Shen saw was always as beautiful as before.

Such a simple girl is rare... Anyway, as long as she's happy, that's all. It's just a matter of an imperial decree.

Beneath her bright smile lay a hint of trepidation. To make her wishes more convincing, she coquettishly said, "If my sister doesn't receive this reward document by tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I'll be extremely upset."

The emperor chuckled softly and touched her nose gently, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

The next morning, Shen Muxue got up early. She was the first one to come to Nong Yu Hall to say goodbye, and waited quietly for the arrival of the letter that would decide her fate.

Just as she saw Shen Lingwei and Madam Shen slowly walking into the hall, she immediately greeted them in a sweet voice.

"Niece! I heard you weren't feeling well last night. Why are you up so early? Are you feeling better?"

Thinking of the good things that were about to happen, the girl was overjoyed.

In fact, this seemingly kind old lady had done a lot of bad things to her in private.

It’s just that it’s too early for her to be proud now.

"Thank you for your concern. I have fully recovered. This morning I heard the birds chirping outside the window, and I thought something big was about to happen in our house."

These words made everyone present feel excited.

A few days ago, another marriage proposal was received, which cast a shadow over the whole family. If there is good news this time, it will undoubtedly be the best comfort for everyone.

The old woman's health has been deteriorating since the Shen Yunxiang incident.

Everyone gathered around him, asking about his well-being for a while before leaving.

As everyone walked out of the room, the girl secretly cursed the supreme leader.

All the golden words and the irreversible words are now empty talk!

I was happy all night last night for nothing.

"and many more!"

Just as she was about to return to her bedroom in a rage, her nurse, Yu Ma, suddenly rushed forward and stopped her impulsive behavior, "There's news from the front."

"What's the emergency?"

"I don't know the details of the situation, I just want all the masters to gather at the front."

When she arrived at her destination with a flustered heart and witnessed the eunuch's announcement, she could hardly contain her laughter. Although she was late, at least she had fulfilled her promise!

Since the Shen family members had gone through the process of receiving the imperial decree several times, they were able to quickly line up and kneel respectfully to listen to the decree:

"According to the will of Heaven, the third daughter of the Shen family possesses both excellent character and beauty, a dignified and virtuous disposition, and is diligent and gentle. I have granted you special permission to marry her to the Yongning Palace."

After hearing this, Shen Lingwei was the first to react. She looked at her mother in disbelief.

They had just planned everything, who could have imagined that things would progress so quickly!

After a brief moment of surprise, the whole family was immersed in extreme joy.

Becoming a future princess undoubtedly means a bright future.

Not only those who came to deliver the message, but even the accompanying eunuchs and guards each returned to the palace with a corresponding courtesy red envelope in their hands to report.

The old lady clasped her hands together and muttered excitedly, "May our ancestors bless us, our Shen family..."

The rest of the words were not finished, but everyone understood the profound meaning behind this sentence.

The entire Shen Mansion is about to enter its heyday!

The master then became busy arranging the ceremony to open the ancestral hall and informing the clan members of the good news and other related matters.

As the sound of firecrackers celebrating was heard outside the door, special messengers went to the homes of each marriage candidate to announce the good news.

The joyful atmosphere was almost as great as that of the queen's enthronement ceremony.

Shen Muxue laughed all the way and did not seem particularly out of place among the crowd in the Shen Mansion. Everyone showed their brightest smiles.

Madam Shen held her daughter's hand tightly. Her precious daughter was not only lucky, but also very smart. If it weren't for her careful planning, the Shen family would not have had this unexpected glory.

After everyone sat down in Taoran Hall, Master Shen bowed slightly and said, "Mother, there were some minor problems with your birthday a few days ago, which made you unhappy. Your son has been thinking about this matter. Why don't we invite some opera troupes to hold a birthday party for you in the next two days?"

In name, this was to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but in reality, it was because the marriage decree received today made Master Shen so excited that he wanted to hold banquets for three consecutive days because he was about to become the father-in-law of the new emperor.

The old lady was so happy that she even forgot her headache and backache. She nodded in agreement and said, "That's great. I haven't finished listening to all those wonderful plays that day."

The scene was suddenly filled with joyful laughter, everyone's face was filled with joy, even the second master was deeply moved.

He once worried that his concubine's daughter Shen Yunxiang would suffer injustice after marrying into the Wei family, but now the situation is very different. She has become the sister of the next queen, and her value has soared.

Everyone was talking to each other, filled with endless joy.

After lunch, the old lady left her son and daughter-in-law to continue the conversation, while the younger generations went their separate ways.

The old lady cleared her throat and said seriously, "The marriages of the third and fourth girls have been decided. Now it's the second girl's turn. We can't delay any longer."

The first and second masters Shen fell into deep thought at the same time. Considering Shen Muxue's generous dowry, no matter who she married, the other party would benefit greatly. If they didn't care about face, they even wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law to live with them.

At this time, Madam Shen moved a little uneasily and coughed lightly: "Mother, I went to see the Queen Mother yesterday and proposed an idea. If Ling Wei can become the principal wife of Prince Yongning, then we can let Mu Xue go with him as a concubine."

The three of them immediately looked at Madam Shen. No wonder the palace suddenly issued such a marriage decree.

Mr. Shen originally thought that he was awarded this honor because the emperor appreciated his profound knowledge and integrity.

Now it seems that this honor was obtained by his wife through connections, and even by utilizing other people's resources. This woman is indeed quite resourceful.

Taking the overall situation into consideration, Master Shen tried to explain. After all, the first wife benefited the most this time. In comparison, the second wife suffered a lot of losses but did not receive any compensation.
