Chapter 134 Competence



Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong, sipped the tea in the cup gently, and said nothing. Sheng Yunrong felt his deep gaze and felt a little uneasy. She bit her lip lightly, trying to break the silence.

Sheng Yunrong: "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something about me that makes you unhappy?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, which warmed people's hearts: "Miss Sheng, you are worrying too much. I just think that you are becoming more and more charming, and people can't help but look at you a few more times."

Sheng Yunrong blushed, but she was secretly happy. She straightened her clothes and tried to make herself look more decent: "Your Majesty, I am too kind to you. Sheng Yunrong is not worthy of it."

Pei Jinxiao put down the teacup and looked at Sheng Yunrong again: "Miss Sheng, do you know that there is something I don't understand in my heart, and I want to ask you for advice."

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Pei Jinxiao to ask such a straightforward question. She nodded: "Your Majesty, please speak. Sheng Yunrong will definitely tell you everything you know."

Pei Jinxiao: "I want to know why you choose to cooperate with me and fight against those forces together?"

Sheng Yunrong was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Your Highness, you should know that the Sheng family is not isolated in the court, but I also know that the Sheng family alone cannot compete with those forces. And Your Highness, you have extraordinary wisdom and courage. I believe that as long as we join forces, we will be able to defeat those enemies."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Miss Sheng is indeed smart and can see through people's hearts. Then I ask you again, are you willing to give everything for me?"

Sheng Yunrong's heart tightened. She knew what this question meant. She took a deep breath and looked at Pei Jinxiao firmly: "Your Majesty, Sheng Yunrong is willing to give everything for you."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he regained his composure. He gently patted Sheng Yunrong's hand and said, "Okay, in that case, let's work together to create brilliance together."

Sheng Yunrong felt Pei Jinxiao's warmth and her heart was filled with warmth.

Sheng Yunrong was walking in the garden of Prince Jing's mansion when Pei Jinxiao suddenly came out from behind her with a bouquet of roses in his hand. He handed the roses to Sheng Yunrong and said with a smile, "Miss Sheng, this bouquet of roses is for you. I hope you like it."

Sheng Yunrong took the rose and was pleasantly surprised. She looked at Pei Jinxiao with a happy look in her eyes: "Thank you, my Lord. I like it very much."

Pei Jinxiao gently held Sheng Yunrong's hand and looked at her affectionately: "Miss Sheng, my life has become colorful since I met you. I think I can't live without you anymore."

The queen held her hand tightly and said, "Yunrong, don't worry. I called you here this time because I have something to entrust to you."

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the Queen would suddenly talk to her, and her tone seemed to contain deep expectations.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is Yunrong's honor to share your worries." Sheng Yunrong bowed slightly, her words full of respect.

The queen looked at Sheng Yunrong with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She gently patted Sheng Yunrong's hand and slowly said, "Yunrong, you are a smart woman and I trust you. I asked you to come this time because our country has been troubled by internal and external troubles recently, the treasury is empty, and the people are in hardship. I want you to use your wisdom to help me solve my problems."

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned after hearing this. She did not expect that the Queen would entrust such an important matter to her. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Yunrong will do her best to share your worries."

When the queen heard this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I believe you."

The Queen asked Sheng Yunrong in detail about her insights and countermeasures, and Sheng Yunrong told the Queen her ideas and plans without reservation.

Sheng Yunrong's eyes were firm and her tone was calm: "Your Majesty, our country's current predicament is not unsolvable. We can increase revenue and reduce expenditure, on the one hand to increase the revenue of the treasury, on the other hand to reduce unnecessary expenses. In addition, we can also have friendly exchanges with neighboring countries and win their support."

After hearing this, the Queen's eyes flashed with appreciation. She nodded slightly and said, "Yunrong, your idea is very good. I will tell the Emperor about your suggestion and see if he agrees."

Sheng Yunrong bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this is my duty. It is my honor to contribute to the Western Wei Dynasty."

The queen looked at Sheng Yunrong, her eyes full of relief.

Sheng Yunrong looked at the queen, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She gently withdrew her hand and whispered, "Queen, if you need Yunrong to do anything, just say one word, and Yunrong will do it at all costs."

The queen looked at Sheng Yunrong, her eyes full of appreciation and relief. She smiled gently and said, "Yunrong, you are becoming more and more sensible."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, lowered her head and said nothing.

The Queen said, "I heard that you manage the palace very well, and everyone in the palace praises you highly. I am very pleased."

Sheng Yunrong said: "Your Majesty, the Queen is too kind. Yunrong is just doing her duty."

The queen nodded and said, "I heard that you have been studying ancient etiquette recently. You know, etiquette is an important tool for maintaining order in the palace. I appreciate your efforts."

Sheng Yunrong said: "Empress, etiquette is an important part of ancient culture. I am just doing my best and hope to make a small contribution to the palace."

The queen looked at Sheng Yunrong with eyes full of admiration. She gently patted Sheng Yunrong's hand and said, "Yunrong, I appreciate your kindness."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, and the queen's words made her feel warm in her heart.

The queen said, "Yunrong, I have something to ask of you. I hope you can help me manage the harem."

Sheng Yunrong was stunned. She looked at the queen with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She quickly said, "Queen, how can Yunrong dare to take on such an important task?"

The queen smiled gently and said, "Yunrong, you are the one I have chosen. I believe you can do the job."

Sheng Yunrong looked at the queen, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Queen, since you trust Yunrong so much, Yunrong will dare not do her best."

The queen smiled and nodded. She looked at Sheng Yunrong with anticipation in her eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen smiled slightly, and that smile was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, gentle and reserved. The Queen gently put down the teacup in her hand, and her eyes fell softly on Sheng Yunrong.

"The eldest lady of the Sheng Mansion is indeed worthy of her reputation. Her words can shock people's hearts." The Queen said slowly, "So, what are Miss Sheng's plans for the house on that piece of land?"

Sheng Yunrong brushed her sleeves lightly, bowed her head slightly, and said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. As for the house on that piece of land, I want to transform it into an academy, which is specially used to train talented women in the palace. Let them become virtuous and talented women under the influence of reading and writing, and contribute to the Western Wei Dynasty."
