Prince Jing was also heartbroken. Six years ago, he had fallen in love with Shen Yu. After finally returning to the capital, he did everything he could to help her, but Shen Yu had no feelings for him. Now he was the Prince Jing, a man of great status, but Shen Yu still refused to accept him.
"Ha!" He couldn't help but smile bitterly, took out a money pouch and looked at Chen Yu. His eyes instantly filled with tears, and he choked out, "Does Chen Yu recognize this money pouch?"
Shen Yu took the purse and examined it carefully. It was embroidered with a pair of small red fish, just like the one her mother had embroidered for her years ago. How many purses like this were there? She wondered why Prince Jing would have one. She looked at Prince Jing and asked in surprise, "How come Prince Jing has this purse?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Cai walked in with a smile, cupped his hands in congratulations to Madam Mu, and said, "Congratulations, Madam Mu, please accept the decree."
The group was puzzled and quickly knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
