Sun Shi secretly resented Yue Fuguang for being so meddlesome, wondering why he had to correct the Empress Dowager's words in front of everyone.
Why not just accept it?
The moonlight floats on the light, doesn't it sound a lot like that?
They insisted on exposing it in front of everyone, making the three families lose face.
Sure enough, those who aren't raised by their parents aren't close to them, and they don't even know how to cover up for their own mother.
Unlike her Rou-jie, who is her sweet little darling!
At this moment, Madam Sun had forgotten that Yue Fuguang had said that her fate with both the original owner of this body and the current Yue Fuguang was over.
Aside from their nominal titles, they were actually not connected at all.
Yue Fuguang had long seen that the couple from the third branch of the family were clueless, which is why she revealed their relationship in front of everyone and completely severed ties with them.
Don't wait until you've become 'successful' before coming to her to enjoy the benefits she brings.
Wouldn't she be furious?
She didn't want any of the third wife's family members to take advantage of her.
Yue Fuguang could guess that if she didn't sever ties with them soon, these people would not only enjoy the benefits of her identity, but would also brazenly act like her parents and brothers, eating her food while cursing her as a 'mother'!
Although she now has the identity of a deity undergoing tribulation, she cannot leave the Yu family legitimately for the time being unless it is made public.
Therefore, it was essential for her to plan for a better future and to let the two heads of the Yu family see clearly what kind of people their son and daughter-in-law were, and what her attitude towards them should be.
If they are allowed to get mixed up together, it will definitely affect the status of the Yu family in Yue Fuguang's heart.
She believed that after this experience, the two elders would definitely give her a good arrangement.
If all else fails, she'll try to move out.
The Empress Dowager pulled Yue Fuguang aside and talked for a long time, giving her a bunch of rewards. Even the Emperor and Empress joined in the fun and bestowed many gifts upon her.
The system further stated, "Master, the royal family is quite generous, giving you so many things, although they are all ordinary items with no spiritual energy whatsoever."
But it looks much better than what you have in your room now. Go back and change into it. If the God of War saw you suffering like this, I don't know how heartbroken he would be!
Moonlight's eyes sparkled as she feigned nonchalance, saying, "Don't worry, Master won't know. I'll cover for you when we get back, and I'll make sure he doesn't know you haven't taken good care of me."
The system hesitated and stammered, "But, but Master, the God Lord loves you so much, he will definitely keep an eye on the lower realm from time to time."
Everything we did certainly didn't escape his watchful eye. It's all because what Zhuzhu brought was so different from what's here; otherwise, he would have already changed it for his master!
Watching it get so caught up in its act that the whole dumpling wrinkled up, Yuefuguang comforted it, saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's not you who's making me suffer."
Yu Qinchun and Madam Sun, who were suffering under the moonlight... suddenly felt utterly hopeless.
Sun was even more distressed; she felt dizzy and her vision blurred.
Startled by this, all the resentment they had felt earlier vanished, and they could only pray that the deity would not bother with such insignificant people as they were.
Before she could faint, a palace maid standing next to her quickly stepped forward and subtly injected her with several needles. It was impossible for her to faint.
Before the banquet ended, everyone present, especially the Yu family, had to be present.
No one can leave until that ancestor finishes his act.
Yue Fuguang sat in the seat the Empress Dowager had just arranged for her and looked down; the view was indeed excellent!
He could clearly see the expressions and subtle movements of the people below.
It gave the impression of a teacher sitting on the podium catching unruly students below.
The person seated above her was the Crown Prince, who was around twenty years old. It was said that they would get married early in the spring of the following year.
Opposite them were several princes and princesses in their teens.
Seated at the lower end were a group of little princesses and princes.
They were all under ten years old, so she was really sitting at the children's table this time!
These people, excluding the few babies still being breastfed, looked at him with surprise; not one of them was stubborn enough to use their royal status to cause trouble.
At least on the surface, they all seem friendly.
It seems she won't be able to recreate the classic face-slapping scene she wanted to perform. Royals, indeed, are all incredibly shrewd.
Take the two young princesses in front of her, the eighth princess and the seventh prince, for example. They looked about the same age as her, and each of them brought her a plate of snacks.
It was only then that Yue Fuguang realized that the royal family not only had popular dishes, but also snacks that the masters liked.
The snacks that Yue Fuguang received were specially made for them by the imperial chef.
The system said, "These two mortal cubs are quite sensible. Considering their goodwill towards their master, next time Zhuzhu will let them taste what snacks from thousands of years in the future taste like."
Yue Fuguang said, "Put some candy and chocolate chips in my purse. Kids will definitely love these."
Soon, Yue Fuguang's return gift—two different flavored milk candies and a bag of chocolate beans—was placed on the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Princess's desk.
The words on the packaging paper were erased by the system, but the almost transparent colored glass packaging paper still made them admire it in their hearts.
The two wisely refrained from eating, knowing that their father would certainly be interested in these things as well.
Soon the banquet reached an important part, with officials from various regions sending gifts to the Empress Dowager for her birthday celebration.
Yue Fuguang noticed that two eunuchs had already changed the ones reading the gift list, and there were still quite a few people waiting to be read.
The gifts sent by officials from various regions, including the high-ranking officials in the imperial court, were diverse and varied.
In addition to highlighting its preciousness, it also emphasizes its novelty.
Many people, driven by novelty, sent all sorts of strange and unusual items to the palace.
It is worth mentioning the camellias of the eighteen scholars sent by Jiangnan Province, and the double-sided embroidery that is one meter tall sent by Dongshu.
The front features a pine and crane design symbolizing longevity, while the back depicts a prosperous-looking old man.
After the second eunuch who came in also left with a hoarse voice, the third one came in and clearly announced the names: "Prefect He Hongming of Yuzhou respectfully presents one dou of rice seeds with a yield of four shi per mu, and a luminous pearl from the East Sea..."
Upon hearing this, Yue Fuguang thought to himself, "The opportunity I've been waiting for has finally arrived."
So he deliberately asked the system with suspicion, "Little Pearl, why would the prefect of Yuzhou send a bushel of rice seeds to the Empress Dowager so that she would have to farm them? Why would he send seeds with such a low yield?"
Perhaps it's because this type of rice tastes better? It's just that the yield is a bit low!
When the others heard that there were rice seeds that could yield four shi per mu, the emperor and his ministers were all delighted.
Food is the most important thing for people, and at this time, even the most fertile land could only produce a harvest of three bushels.
Lord He presented a yield of four shi per mu. Regardless of whether this was a harvest from top-quality land, it was a great thing for the Dayan Dynasty.
A harvest of three to five bushels of grain could reduce the risk of a family starving to death.
