Emperor Shen's charming wife

Ning Yao decided to ask General Ning for help. The father and daughter worked together to quickly spread the intelligence network. On this day, the sun shone softly on the streets and alleys. Ning Yao was wearing a light blue dress, and the hem of her skirt fluttered gently in the wind. She shuttled through the bustling crowd, her steps light and firm. Wherever she went, she politely asked the people on the street for news. Her sincere eyes and gentle tone made people want to help her. Then, she took the trouble to personally visit many respected old scholars. Walking into the quaint study rooms, Ning Yao saluted the old scholars respectfully and asked for advice humbly. Seeing that she was so persistent and humble, the old scholars were also generous in teaching and sharing their knowledge with her. In this process, Ning Yao listened attentively, recorded carefully, and did not miss any subtle clues. After countless exchanges and discussions, she gradually pieced together the fragmented information and slowly unveiled the mystery of the clues in the ancient books. Ning Yao accidentally learned the exact hiding place of the ancient book while chatting with an old craftsman on the street. After learning this important news, Ning Yao knew that she had to be extremely cautious and must not let Ning Xue and Concubine Shen's spies notice it. She pretended to be nonchalant and continued to stroll in the street. She seemed careless, but in fact she was carefully observing the movements around her. After making sure that no one was following her, she quickly turned into a remote alley. With her familiarity with the terrain, she skillfully shuttled between the intricate paths. Ning Yao sometimes hid under the eaves and sometimes hid behind the abandoned firewood pile to avoid possible spies. Along the way, her heart was in her throat, and she took every step carefully. Finally, Ning Yao successfully avoided all possible surveillance and ran to the hiding place of the ancient book alone, ready to retrieve it. During the process, Ning Yao relied on her extraordinary courage and intelligence to skillfully maneuver between various forces, not only winning the sincere help of many people, but also making those who originally doubted her look at her with new eyes. After going through untold hardships, she finally succeeded in bringing the ancient book back. During this period, she constantly reflected on the various failures she had experienced before, summed up her experience and lessons, and became more confident and calm. Ning Yao happily decided to meet Shen Yu directly to show him her hard-won results. However, unexpectedly, Shen Yu seemed to deliberately avoid seeing him, which made Ning Yao's full expectations instantly dashed, and also left a new suspense for the whole situation. The next day, Ning Yao carried the precious ancient book and stepped firmly into the court. Under the surprised eyes of the crowd, she calmly unfolded the ancient book slowly and motioned everyone to circulate it. "This book is a unique copy and has been lost for a long time. Where did the eldest lady of the Ning family get it from?" An old minister was full of amazement and couldn't help asking. Ning Yao smiled and said, "I bought this by chance on the street." Everyone was surprised when they heard this and turned their eyes to Shen Yu. Shen Yu's expression was still calm, but his deep eyes were quietly filled with a bit of inquiry. Seeing this, Concubine Shen was unwilling to accept it and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although this ancient book is precious, if it is only obtained by chance, it cannot prove the true ability of Miss Ning. Why not let her solve another difficult problem to prove her talent." Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Majesty is right." Ning Yao's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to herself that Concubine Shen really spared no effort to embarrass herself.
