Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Taking advantage of the popularity of the pistol, Shen Li explained to them the power and principles of night vision goggles, smoke bombs, and grenades.

She made the top people in the Great Zhou Dynasty nod their heads repeatedly, and their admiration for her reached the highest level.

Fang Yao said to Shen Li, "Give me all the books you have, whether it's military books, medical books, books on weapon manufacturing, or any other books that I can't think of, as long as they are useful to the court and the people. I'll ask the emperor to reward you later."

He turned his head and said, "The emperor will reward Li'er handsomely, right?"

The emperor put down his chopsticks and said to Shen Li and Fang Yao, "As long as it is beneficial to the people's livelihood and to defending the country, I will not treat you unfairly."

Even if he didn't mention rewarding Shen Li alone, he already had a psychological trauma from her mentioning the cancellation of the engagement.

A bear meat banquet opened the eyes of the emperor and Fang Yao, and also gave Mu Heng and Fu Lizhang, who were eating for free, a lot of knowledge.

Seeing that Shen Li was going to go back home with Fang Yao after dinner, the two of them hurriedly came up to her and smiled at Fang Yao flatteringly.

Fang Yao stared at the two of them warily, "What are you doing? What do you two want to do?"

Fu Lizhang pulled out a delicate little dagger from his bosom and handed it to Fang Yao, saying attentively, "This is something I had specially made and am giving it to the General today. I only hope that after you receive the books from Miss Shen, you will allow me to come to your house for advice. It would be even better if you could lend them to me for a few days."

Mu Heng also hurriedly felt around, but he didn't bring anything. He could only smile awkwardly and said flatteringly, "The general knows me. I also have treasures. I'll give them to you in exchange for a corner of your study so I can read. I believe the general won't refuse, right?"

"That's right, the general won't refuse, right?" Fu Lizhang followed up with a sentence.

Fang Yao has been looking down on people recently. There's nothing he can do about it, since he has a niece who is extremely capable.

Now that the two most capable people around the emperor have come to him to curry favor with him, he feels that his eyes could grow to the top of his head to avoid having to look up at the sky and getting a sore neck.

"Well," he looked at the dagger in his hand, pretending to be reluctant, and said, "Okay, for the emperor's sake, I'll leave a corner for you two. But I have to say, it's okay to come to my place to read, but I don't provide food at home."

"Don't worry about the food," Fu Lizhang and Mu Heng said hurriedly, "We will bring our own dry food, and we will also bring wine and meat for the general."

"Not only for the general, but also for General Fang. I haven't visited him for a long time, and I miss him a little."

Fang Yao curled his lips, looking as smug as a fox with its tail raised. He raised his eyes to the sky and walked away.

Shen Li tried hard to suppress her laughter and followed Fang Yao out of the palace.

On the way, Fang Yao did not ask her anything in front of the servants. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Fang Yao said to her, "Come to my study."

So she followed him obediently to the study.

As soon as they entered, Fang Yao asked, "Why did you think of canceling your marriage with the eldest prince?"

Shen Li said, "Actually, I didn't want to agree from the beginning. It was just that I lied that day and said I was engaged to the owner of the jade pendant. I never thought that the jade pendant was the eldest prince's. I was confused for a while, and the Queen Mother's heart disease and promises made me confused. I was confused and the Emperor granted me marriage."

"During our trip to Mizhou, we both agreed not to force each other on matters like this. And Xiao Chenze also said that the Emperor had privately told him that if I didn't want to marry him at the end, the matter would be dropped. Honestly, the Emperor and the First Prince haven't done anything to wrong our family, so let's not let them bear the blame for canceling the engagement."

"So I thought, why not do something great, and then use it to buy myself a favor and ask the emperor to cancel the engagement. Then I can say that I want to observe mourning for my mother and am afraid of delaying the eldest prince's marriage. If one merit doesn't work, I'll do two, and if two doesn't work, I'll do three. Even for my uncle's sake, the emperor will agree sooner or later."

"What if the emperor just doesn't want to agree?" Fang Yao asked.

After all, Li'er has so many magical weapons on her, which person in power would not want to bring her to his side?

"Don't worry, uncle. The emperor will definitely agree."

Fang Yao was puzzled, "Tell your uncle the truth, why do you look down on the eldest prince?"

Looking around the world, it is no exaggeration to say that the eldest prince is the most noble and top man in the entire Great Zhou. He can't think of anyone else who is worthy of Shen Li except the eldest prince.

Shen Li was silent for a while, then said softly, "It's not that I look down on you."

She also knew that Xiao Chenze was excellent, and there was nothing wrong with him, whether it was his background or the way he conducted himself.

But she just couldn't agree, because a few days ago she discovered in the space that her dormitory had windows.

She could see the world outside through the window, with tall buildings and traffic, and people in modern clothes walking up and down the street.

She wanted to try to use her mind to move space so that she could go to the welfare home where she grew up and visit her comrades in the military compound, but unfortunately the space did not move at all.

She sat down on the ground at that time, but she was not discouraged at all.

After all, when the space began, couldn’t we see the Great Zhou Dynasty outside?

I believe that in time, she will be able to see where she wants to go from the dormitory window and slip out from there.

Does this mean that the day when she can go back is getting closer?

If that day really comes, needless to say, I will choose to return to modern society. When that time comes, I will be separated from Xiao Chenze, and both of us will suffer. It's painful to think about it.

Instead of that, it is better to force yourself to get rid of that feeling from the beginning. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one.

Thinking of this, Shen Li said nothing more and left the study.

Fang Yao looked at her back and always felt that she seemed to be worried about something.

"Zhu Yi."

"arrive."

"Cousin, have you been busy lately?"

"I didn't notice."

......

In the following days, Shen Li kept taking books from the space to Fang Yao while tracking down the murderer of Ding Lan.

Fang Yao's study soon became the most coveted place among the ministers in the court.

The Prime Minister came to visit, Marquis Guanyong came to visit, and even the Duke of Wei came to visit.

Among the three, only Guan Yonghou told Fang Yao in advance not to let Old Man Fang know that he was there to read books, so as to avoid the two of them quarreling when they met.

Fang Yao agreed with a smile.

But when he met the Prime Minister and the Duke of Wei, he put on a stern face, rolled his eyes, and gestured to them to exchange things.

Duke Wei had at least helped Fang Jitao and Cui Lan'er arrange a marriage, so they just had to bring some gifts and get through.

The Prime Minister was implicated by Xiao Zhao and knew he was inferior to Fang Yao and Shen Li, so it was not appropriate for him to visit them. However, after the court officials left the court, they were discussing the sacred books in Fang Yao's home with great enthusiasm, which made the Prime Minister anxious and scratching his head.
