Because of Zhao Qingyi's fluent writing style, novel ideas, and considerable popularity, Zhao Qingyi's picture books have become very popular.

These sketchbooks were originally used by most young ladies in their boudoirs to pass the time, and therefore circulated widely among noblewomen.

Therefore, it had a tremendous impact on many women.

The root cause is that every time Zhao Qingbei finished writing a sketchbook, he would note at the end what happened in a certain year, month, and place, and that was the prototype for the sketchbook.

The author speaks with such conviction that readers will naturally take it to heart.

There really was a nagging young lady who sent someone to investigate the veracity of the incident.

As the facts were confirmed one by one, the daughters of officials were furious.

They spontaneously spoke up for women who had been deceived or were already in dire straits.

The result was predictable: those men who made their fortunes through their wives' dowries or their fathers-in-law, the more unrestrained they were before, the more destitute they became later.

They hurt people and revealed their most greedy side. Even women who are love-struck will wake up.

Of course, there are also tragedies in these stories, such as the woman who was deceived and has already passed away.

Zhao Qingbei's sketchbook caused quite a stir.

Many young ladies from wealthy and powerful families, who originally planned to find a son-in-law to marry into their family or wanted to marry down, were filled with anxiety and secretly sent people to investigate their fiancés.

Many engagements were eventually called off.

As the author of the illustrated book, he was unaware of the numerous controversies that had arisen.

In his spare time, he would still go to Zhao Qingyan's caravan to listen to gossip and stories.

Every story must be true.

Zhao Qingbei went to great lengths to make his illustrated books a lot of money.

After discussing it with her wife at home, Yuan Ruoshui, who doted on her husband, felt she had to support him.

Therefore, a special intelligence organization was established.

They specialize in investigating all sorts of injustices and unfair situations in the streets.

Zhao Qingbei was only focused on making money, unaware that the publication of his stories would influence the marriages of countless families.

One by one, those with ulterior motives couldn't sit still any longer.

Eventually, someone found out who Mr. Huai Shan was and reported it to the new emperor.

Not only did he attend, but he did so at a major court assembly.

To say that Zhao Qingyi was creating panic and affecting the education of women is suspected of spreading rumors.

The new emperor had read Zhao Qingyi's sketchbook, but he did so because the empress had recommended it to him.

Upon seeing the ending, the new emperor naturally sent people to investigate; otherwise, how could so many things have been unearthed from the common people?

The new emperor listened as his ministers impeached Zhao Qing, wanting to see what these old men could possibly say.

As he listened, the new emperor was pleased and ordered someone to summon Zhao Qingyi.

Zhao Qingbei, who was having breakfast at home, never imagined that he would one day ascend to the throne.

He didn't panic. He drank the remaining half bowl of porridge, rinsed his mouth, changed into his official robes, and was about to leave.

Yuan Ruoshui stuffed a purse into his hand before he went out.

Zhao Qingbei naturally understood that the purse was not for him, but a reward for the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial decree was pleased to receive the purse, for he was indeed adept at social etiquette within the Ministry of Rites.

He then succinctly explained the reason for summoning Zhao Qingbi.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingbei bowed deeply to the eunuch who delivered the decree, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch."

The imperial eunuch was in a great mood and praised Zhao Qingyi in his heart.

Of course, what he was praising was that, as expected of the eldest princess's son, he was indeed well-mannered.

Zhao Qingbei went up to the main hall and kowtowed to the new emperor.

"Minister Zhao, I've heard that you have a pen name, Mr. Huaishan, and that you've written quite a few sketchbooks that are quite popular. Is that true?"
