She sent these people into the private quarters of officials and wealthy merchants, and even gave men to officials or their wives and daughters who had special fetishes.

The young lady from the Li family in the picture below has fallen for someone like that. Her father is a military official, so, master, you understand!

Sometimes, Xie Zhiyao, who has high hopes for promising young talents, will personally participate, which is somewhat similar to Li Ling, the daughter who makes tofu.

Do you think this kind of person is suitable to be an emperor?

"Indeed, if her unorthodox methods are merely manipulating power, then it is fine. After all, in times of peace and prosperity, abusing power is undoubtedly self-destructive and a sign of shortsightedness and immorality on the part of those in power."

But isn't the Dayan Dynasty about to be destroyed? Having a domineering monarch skilled in political maneuvering isn't necessarily a bad thing.

After all, in the final days of a dynasty, when the dynasty is facing a life-or-death crisis, the prudent and restrained use of extraordinary measures is sometimes a necessary evil to break the deadlock and turn the tide.

However, Xie Zhiyao's underhanded and unorthodox methods are quite different from what I imagined!

[So, Master, you'd better stay out of this kind of fun!]

The Yu family members nodded frantically in their hearts after hearing the system's words. "Yes, yes, the artifact is right. We should stay out of this mess. A lot of people could die if we're not careful."

"Little Pearl, since Xie Zhiyao's goal is the Empress, why does she still want to marry my older brother?"

She and the county magistrate's family have the same idea; they're both after you, since you've been in the limelight lately.

From the emperor, empress dowager, empress, and crown prince down to the ministers of the six ministries, you have close ties with them all. Isn't she just envious?

Of course, she also wanted to take the Yu family into her possession.

The Yu family is wealthy and influential, making them a valuable asset in helping her father rise to power and elevate her to the throne. Besides, she secretly enjoys keeping male concubines, so your elder brother isn't the only one providing support!

"Good heavens, so they all think I'm a piece of hot meat, everyone wants to take a bite? They all want to treat me, this tiger, like a sick cat?"

【Master, don't be angry, don't be angry. Should Little Pearl teach her a lesson?】

"No need. Like I said, I'll find someone to deal with her! If you take action, who will know it was us? This kind of revenge without letting the enemy know who did it is like scratching an itch through a boot!"

We should do things openly and honestly. The real satisfaction comes from knowing they can't stand me but can't get rid of me!

Even after putting the last picture on the screen, Yue Fuguang still hadn't found a suitable girl to be her sister-in-law. Either she was already in love with someone else, or she had already made a private engagement.

She couldn't very well do something like break up a couple.

Although in this era, even if a girl has someone she likes, as long as she hasn't reached the stage of eloping, once she gets engaged and married, most of them, except for a very few, can live a good life.

After all, they are all at the age of youthful infatuation, and it is understandable that they have a white moonlight or cinnabar mole in their hearts.

The above are all just empty words spoken from the perspective of an outsider.

However, as the younger sister, she did not want her older brother to be the first choice for her future sister-in-law. From the original timeline, it can be seen that her older brother would have good abilities and official career in the future.

He was a responsible and respectful husband who didn't even have a concubine.

Therefore, he deserves a wife who reciprocates his feelings.

Yue Fuguang returned the picture book to Zhang Shi, pouting, "Mother, I didn't see any sisters that I liked. Why don't you choose one yourself?"

Zhang smiled and accepted the gift, saying, "It's alright. If we don't find one that catches our eye, we'll look for another. Anyway, your grandmother and I have already looked at all of these, and we're not very satisfied with them either."

Madam Yu also said, "Fu Guang, your mother is right. We are indeed not very satisfied either. Let's look again."

Then he said to Zhang, "You go back to your families these next few days. We'll take our time to find a suitable wife for our eldest grandson. There are plenty of good girls in the capital. We're not in a hurry. We'll take our time choosing. She's our eldest grandson's wife, so we should choose one who suits our taste."

The next day at court, after Eunuch Qian announced the end of the court session, Yue Fuguang did not rush to eat as usual.

Instead, he walked up to Emperor Mingxi and asked in a moderate voice, "Your Majesty, do you have some time now?"

When Emperor Mingxi saw Yue Fuguang ask this question, he knew she clearly had something to ask him, so he smiled and said, "I'm not busy right now. Fuguang, do you have something to ask me?"

Yue Fuguang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I want to file a complaint with the Emperor!"

The moment she uttered the words "appeal to the emperor," not only Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince, but even the ministers who hadn't yet been exposed looked at her with either surprise or worry.

Those who heard his voice were a little worried and couldn't help but wonder, "Who has offended this ancestor?"

Is he unhappy with his life and wants to die?

But if you're looking for death, then go ahead and die. There's no need to provoke this person into committing suicide first and then getting yourself killed! Why be so cruel to yourself!

Emperor Mingxi steadied himself and said, "Fuguang, who are you going to accuse? Tell me who bullied you, and I will help you get revenge!"

Yue Fuguang said, "I want to sue Prince Qi and Princess Taikang. Your Majesty, do you want this case heard here, or shall we go to the Empress Dowager's?"

Princess Taikang could have the Empress Dowager issue an imperial edict to reprimand her, but the Qi family was involved in a rebellion, which was both a family matter and a matter of state.

But what Yue Fu Guangming was talking about was definitely more about family matters.

The revelation that the Qi family was plotting a rebellion was a matter for Little Immortal Lord and the Divine Artifact Lord, and had absolutely nothing to do with Yue Fuguang, who was only eight years old and knew nothing!

When Emperor Mingxi heard that it was these two people, his face turned cold. He never expected that the people who were the first to be named and complained about by the Little Immortal Lord were actually members of his Xie family!

These two are really bold. Isn't the special treatment they and the Empress Dowager gave Yue Fuguang enough to intimidate those 'family members'?

"Qian Gui, send someone to summon Xie Qi and his wife Tai Kang to the palace and deliver them directly to the Empress Dowager."

He immediately put on a kind smile for Yue Fuguang, "Fuguang, even if we have to deal with those two, we can't let ourselves go hungry."

"I heard that you brought a basket of fresh vegetables to the Empress Dowager's palace today. I suppose the Imperial Kitchen has already prepared them. Why don't you come with me to the Empress Dowager's palace for lunch first, and we can clean them up after we've eaten?"

The moonlight, twinkling, followed Emperor Mingxi outside. The world is vast, but eating is the most important thing!

Seeing the Yu family father and son trying to catch up, he waved to them, telling them to go about their business.

For such a trivial matter, they need their whole family to go. They're really giving the royal princess and prince too much face!

"Little Pearl, do you think the Emperor wants to stand up for me more, or does he want to eat the vegetables I brought more?"

"Look at how eager he is, he definitely wants more of your food. I already told you, I should just chop those two families up, you had to go through all this trouble!"
