Emperor Shen's charming wife

The smoke of war had just dissipated, and the devastated imperial city was in urgent need of reconstruction. Shen Yu and Ning Yao threw themselves into this arduous work without hesitation. They led by example and did it themselves. Shen Yu, dressed in simple clothes, ran around the streets and alleys, sweat soaked his forehead, but he still smiled and encouraged the people; Ning Yao brushed the hem of her skirt, squatted down and talked cordially with the people, her eyes full of concern and expectation. Their figures became the warmest support in the hearts of the people, showing the benevolence and wisdom of the monarch. With their unremitting efforts, the imperial city gradually came to life. In order to completely eliminate the residual influence left by the secret forces, Shen Yu, after careful consideration, implemented a series of bold and powerful reform measures. He vigorously strengthened centralization, cleverly weakened local forces, and actively expanded channels for communication with the people. A special suggestion box was set up outside the palace so that the people's voices could be conveyed in a timely manner. He personally reviewed every letter, thought carefully and responded. Ning Yao focused on improving social welfare and education. She firmly believed that the widespread dissemination of knowledge and culture was the fundamental way to prevent the resurgence of evil forces. To this end, she traveled around, summoned talented people, and opened various schools. Not only did she personally participate in teaching, she also often went to poor families to encourage children to go to school. With their concerted efforts, the imperial city finally gradually restored its former prosperity. Shops reopened in the streets and alleys, and people's laughter and joy rang out again. Ning Yao focused on improving social welfare and education. She was convinced that the widespread dissemination of knowledge and culture was the fundamental way to curb the resurgence of evil forces. In order to achieve this goal, Ning Yao worked tirelessly. In the imperial city, she not only set up many free schools, but also personally went to persuade poor families to let their children go to school to receive education. Those children who were originally deterred by knowledge, with her encouragement, stepped into the door of the school with full of longing. At the same time, she also carefully prepared to set up a nursing home and an orphanage. In the nursing home, the elderly enjoy their old age without worries about food and clothing; in the orphanage, the children are no longer lonely and feel warmth and love. Ning Yao often visits in person, asking about their well-being, and her care soothes everyone's heart like a spring breeze. With her unremitting efforts, the level of social welfare in the imperial city has been significantly improved, and the lives of the people have become happier and more fulfilling. At a grand public celebration, Shen Yu solemnly announced Ning Yao as the queen in front of all the people. At that time, the sun shone on them, and the two made an eternal love vow in the presence of everyone. The scene was extremely warm and moving. Ning Yao was so moved that tears filled her eyes. She knew that all her efforts had been rewarded, and she finally found her own happiness. In order to remember this difficult time, they decided to build a peace monument to warn future generations to cherish peace, and also to erect an immortal monument for the deceased heroes. In between the busy state affairs, Shen Yu and Ning Yao enjoyed the warm time that belonged to them. They often strolled hand in hand in the garden, with the breeze blowing and the fragrance of flowers everywhere. They quietly felt each other's company, as if the whole world was left with only the two of them. Ning Yao's slightly bulging belly was like a flower of hope that was about to bloom, indicating that a new life was about to come into the world, bringing a new light of hope to this country. Shen Yu took great care of Ning Yao. He would take time to accompany her every day, gently massage her, and carefully cook all kinds of delicious dishes for her. Under his careful care, Ning Yao's mood was as comfortable as the warm spring sun. Time passed slowly, Ning Yao's belly grew bigger and bigger, and her movements became more and more inconvenient. In order to take good care of her, Shen Yu deliberately reduced his workload and spent more time with her. With his wholehearted company, Ning Yao successfully gave birth to a lovely little princess. The birth of the little princess immersed the entire imperial city in a festive atmosphere. Shen Yu named the little princess Shen Ning, implying that his love with Ning Yao was as solid as a rock and eternal. At the little princess's 100-day banquet, Shen Yu and Ning Yao sincerely invited relatives and friends to celebrate for the little princess. The little princess grew up healthily and happily with everyone's good wishes. As the little princess grew up, Shen Yu and Ning Yao's feelings became deeper. They went through wind and rain together and witnessed the prosperity of the country together. Their love story was sung among the people of the imperial city, becoming a good story that everyone talked about with relish, and also a model for future generations to follow. Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of reconstruction and full of beautiful visions of the future, a secret letter from a distant land was quietly delivered to Shen Yu's hands. Shen Yu opened the letter with a solemn look. The letter mentioned an ancient and mysterious prophecy. The prophecy claimed that when the peace monument was completed, it would mean the beginning of a new era. This prophecy made Shen Yu fall into deep contemplation. He knew that this was undoubtedly a new test they were about to face. Shen Yu immediately told Ning Yao about the prophecy. Ning Yao also fell into long thinking after hearing it. She understood that this prophecy foreshadowed the challenges they were about to encounter, which were far more difficult than any previous ones. Shen Yu and Ning Yao resolutely decided that when the Peace Monument was completed, they would personally go to the site to witness the beginning of this new era. Finally, the day when the Peace Monument was completed arrived, and Shen Yu and Ning Yao led the ministers to the Peace Monument in a grand manner. They held a solemn and grand ceremony in front of the monument. Shen Yu stood in front of the monument and gave a speech in a loud voice: "Today, we are here to witness the opening of a new era. This new era is full of hope and challenges. We will face new difficulties, but we will also usher in new opportunities. We must be firm in our beliefs, forge ahead bravely, and make unremitting efforts for the prosperity of the country and the happiness and well-being of the people!" Ning Yao continued: "Today, we have witnessed the opening of a new era together. This new era is full of hope and challenges. We must cherish peace, study hard, make continuous progress, and contribute our own strength for the prosperity of the country and the happiness and well-being of the people!" Under the leadership of Shen Yu and Ning Yao, the ministers expressed their passionate attitudes one after another. They will be steadfast and forge ahead, and work hard for the prosperity of the country and the happiness and well-being of the people! Amid the warm cheers of the ministers, Shen Yu and Ning Yao jointly unveiled the Peace Monument. On the Peace Monument, there is a line of eye-catching characters engraved: "Peace, prosperity, prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness." This line of characters is Shen Yu and Ning Yao's solemn promise to the country and the people, and it is also their beautiful expectations for the future. At the moment when the Peace Monument was unveiled, a gorgeous rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky. The appearance of the rainbow made everyone excited. They knew that this was God's blessing and encouragement to them. Shen Yu and Ning Yao stood side by side in front of the Peace Monument, looking up at the rainbow in the sky, with a lot of emotion in their hearts. They knew that this new era was destined to be an era full of hope and challenges. They must strengthen their confidence, forge ahead, and work hard for the prosperity of the country and the happiness and well-being of the people!
