Chapter 763 Waves (6)
Shen Dongling's mind turned straight, and she snuggled in Wang Bi's arms. She reached out and touched Wang Bi's chest, and said softly: "My husband is too demanding of himself. To be able to do this, you are no longer an ordinary person."
This was exactly what Wang Bi wanted to hear. He smiled and said, "You are truly content."
"I am content to have a man like my husband." Shen Dongling smiled sweetly, and then asked casually, "Can't I let my fifth sister marry the prince now?"
"Fifth sister?" Wang Bi was stunned, then said, "I almost forgot, you are sisters."
His words were unintentional, but they stung Shen Dongling's ears, as if to say that she was a concubine's daughter, while Shen Miao was a legitimate daughter, and that there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. People's greed grows with changing circumstances. In the past, Shen Dongling was busy preserving herself within the Shen Mansion and finding a good life for herself. She could tolerate the ridicule and sarcasm, not caring about it. However, when she became the wife of a Yuanwailang, she became particularly sensitive to these things.
She buried her head in Wang Bi's arms, not wanting him to see her gloomy expression, but asked, "Is it not possible?"
"It's not impossible." Wang Bi said, "It's just that the ambitions of Daliang are unclear right now, so all other matters have been postponed. We still need Shen Xin's reputation. However, Shen Miao is not young anymore, and I heard that the Shen family does not want Shen Miao to marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion. The key to this matter is to get it done as soon as possible. If it is delayed for too long, changes are inevitable. It is very likely that Chen Xin will find a marriage for Shen Miao and marry her off. At that time, the Crown Prince's plan will be in vain."
"Can't we settle the marriage first?" Shen Dongling asked.
"Fool." Wang Bi said, "Zhenzhi doesn't want Shen Miao to marry the prince, and Shen Miao herself doesn't want to either. It would be bad if we use some extraordinary means to make Shen Xin dissatisfied at this time."
"Isn't this just bullying others by relying on one's power?" Shen Dongling curled her lips. However, her words did not show any consideration for Shen Miao at all, and she even regarded those who ignored others' wishes and imposed their demands on others as robbers who were wronged.
"You can say that." Wang Bi said with a smile.
"Then why can they use their power to bully others, but the prince can't use his power to bully others?"
Wang Bi laughed, "The Crown Prince is a man of great virtue. He cannot do such an oppressive act."
"The Crown Prince can't do this, but other people can? Ordinary people, ordinary people. If everyone in the world demands that my fifth sister marry the Crown Prince, wouldn't that be considered bullying others with the power of the common people?"
Wang Bi originally thought that Shen Dongling was just speaking in anger, but after hearing what happened, his expression gradually became serious. He looked at Shen Dongling, who was sitting in his arms, looking innocent, as if she had just said it casually.
But Wang Bi was a smart man. He could find some details in Shen Dongling's words. He asked, "Don't tell me what bad ideas you have again?"
"My husband is really cunning. What good will it do me if you tell me?" Shen Dongling asked.
"Hmm." Wang Bi pretended to think for a moment and said, "If what you say is right, I will find a way to get you an imperial decree." He thought that if Shen Dongling really could find a way to get Shen Miao to marry the prince, then he would have made a great contribution. Even if the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would be grateful for his kindness. Asking for an imperial decree for Shen Dongling would not be a loss.
When Shen Dongling heard this, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
She said, "I am not doing this for the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, but for you, my husband. I will naturally support you in whatever you want to do. You want to assist the future monarch, so I, a little girl, have no choice but to perform my duties." She said it in a playful way, which made Wang Bi very happy.
"Actually, this method is very simple. All we need is the cooperation of the Crown Prince of Qin," she said.
