Shen Dongling leaned into Wang Bi’s arms and reached out to touch his chest. She said gently, “Husband, you’re too harsh on yourself. You’re already not an ordinary person to be where you are.”
This was what Wang Bi wanted to hear. He smiled and said, “You’re really easily satisfied.”
“I’m already satisfied to have a man like you.” Shen Dongling smiled and asked casually, “So we can’t let Fifth Sister marry the crown prince now?”
“Fifth Sister?” Wang Bi was stunned for a moment before saying, “I almost forgot that you two are sisters.”
His question was unintentional, but in Shen Dongling’s ears, it sounded especially ear-piercing. It was as if he was saying that she was the daughter of a concubine and Shen Miao was the legitimate daughter. Desires would grow with the change of the environment. In the past, Shen Dongling was busy protecting herself in the Shen family and looking for a way out for herself. She could endure the mockery and sarcasm. However, when she became the wife of the minister counselor, she became especially sensitive to these things.
“It’s not that we can’t.” Wang Bi said, “It’s just that the Daliang Dynasty’s ambitions are unclear now. Everything else has to be postponed. We still need Shen Xin’s help. I heard that the Shen family doesn’t want Shen Miao to marry the crown prince either. It’s very likely that Shen Xin will marry Shen Miao off during this period of time. At that time, the crown prince’s plan will fail.”
“Can’t the emperor settle the marriage first?” Shen Dongling asked.
Wang Bi said, “Shen Xin doesn’t want Shen Miao to marry the crown prince, and Shen Miao doesn’t want to either. It won’t be good if Shen Xin is dissatisfied at this time.”
“Isn’t Shen Xin just using his power to intimidate people.” Shen Dongling curled her lips.
“You can say that.” Wang Bi smiled.
“Then why can’t we let the crown prince use his power to intimidate others?”
Wang Bi smiled. “Crown Prince is kind and virtuous. He won’t do such a thing.”
“If everyone in the world wants Fifth Sister to marry the crown prince, will she still be able to refuse?”
As Wang Bi listened, his expression gradually became serious. He looked at Shen Dongling, who was nestling in his arms, looking cute.
Wang Bi was a smart person. He could tell that Shen Dongling had a trick up her sleeve. He asked, “You must have an idea in mind. Tell me about it.”
“Husband, you’re really bad. What good will it do me to tell you?” Shen Dongling asked.
“Ummm.” Wang Bi pretended to think for a moment and said, “If your idea is proven useful, I’ll think of a way to ask the crown prince to give you a noble title.” He thought that if Shen Dongling really had a way to make Shen Miao marry the crown prince, she would have made a great contribution. It wouldn’t be unreasonable for the crown prince to confer a noble title to Shen Dongling.
When Shen Dongling heard this, a trace of satisfaction flashed across her eyes.
She said, “I’m not doing this for a title, but for you, husband. I naturally support you in whatever you want to do. If you want to assist the future emperor, I will also assist the future emperor.” The considerate words she said made Wang Bi even happier.
“Actually, this method is very simple. As long as the crown prince of the State of Qin cooperates,” she continued.
