Indeed, and when it comes to connections, who can surpass the connections of princesses whose fathers are emperors?
Host, you should make friends with more princesses. I heard from the palace servants that Emperor Mingxi has several princesses who are quite favored.
Making friends? Yue Fuguang shook her head. "I haven't had many female friends in my past and present lives, so instead of bothering to cultivate friendships, I'd rather recruit more believers."
After all, we might only be here for a few years before we complete our mission and leave. Whether we have friends or not doesn't matter; in the end, we all have to part ways.
The system agreed, but still asked, "Host, who are these so-called believers?"
"You said I need to have the airs of a deity. As a celestial being, I can be without friends, but I cannot be without believers."
My followers are like…
"Stop right there! I'm talking to you, you chubby little girl in front!"
Yue Fuguang was about to give the system a long speech about believers when she heard a man with a hoarse voice talking behind her.
She hadn't initially thought they were calling her. After all, she'd been in the Dayan Imperial Palace for months; who wouldn't recognize her as the most favored person in front of the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress?
Even His Highness the Crown Prince has to speak softly in front of her; who would dare to raise their voice at her?
What's more, the addition of "little chubby girl" made her even less aware that the comment was directed at her, as she never considered that the chubby Yue Fuguang was anything but a chubby girl.
She had slimming pills in her storage ring. If she felt she was fat, she would have taken them long ago. Why would she wait until now?
Yue Fuguang's thoughts were quickly proven wrong.
A thin, green bamboo pole appeared above her, blocking her path.
This was a thin young man, as thin as a bamboo pole, but with unusually bright eyes. He was dressed in a three-clawed python robe, with a jade pendant and a purse hanging from his waist.
The emperor's son? Never seen him before!
The skinny boy spoke up, "Fat girl, didn't you hear what I said? I told you to stop, and you dare to leave? Do you have a death wish?"
Yue Fuguang was so angry at his words that she laughed. Since her identity as a 'Celestial Lord' was revealed, this was the first time anyone had dared to speak to her like that.
She didn't have the novelty of meeting someone extraordinary that those domineering CEOs talk about; all she wanted to do was beat him until he was crawling on the ground and begging for his mother's teeth!
This guy is incredibly audacious! Not only did he raise his voice at her, but he also dared to call her "fat girl." He's asking for trouble!
Yue Fuguang coldly said, "Who are you? Which son of the emperor? How dare you speak to me, the young master, like this? Is it too much to punish you for disrespect?"
She doesn't act like the protagonists in novels, who get insulted and verbally abused by villains before revealing their terrifying identities to stage a comeback and slap them in the face.
There's really no need for that. If she, as a 'Celestial Lord,' suffers a loss first, then no matter how much she tries to retaliate later, it will be a disgrace. She wouldn't do something so foolish.
I can't endure that hardship!
So Yue Fuguang instructed another eunuch, "Your name is Xiao Anzi, right? Go and call his emperor father here. His son is blocking my way. Ask him if the father is going to do anything about it."
Xiao Anzi was terrified. The Fourth Prince had been away from the palace for several months. Didn't he know that things had changed in the palace?
If you get involved with this person, he won't get away with it, and those who serve him will also be implicated. Even the person who sees the guests off will suffer the consequences.
As Xiao Anzi ran towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was inwardly crying. He thought that accompanying Xiao Fuzi to escort the Buddha out of the palace would be a good job, but he never expected to run into the number one troublemaker prince in the palace. He was really unlucky!
Xiao Anzi ran all the way to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, covered in sweat, and ran into Eunuch Qian, who had come out to change the tea.
When His Majesty and the other officials were discussing matters, only Eunuch Qian was qualified to accompany him. Everyone else was sent to stand outside the hall, so Eunuch Qian was the only one who could serve tea and water inside the hall.
As Qian Gui was carrying a water jug and heading towards the main hall, she turned around and saw Xiao Anzi, who had been assigned to escort the Junior Tutor, running back in a panic.
A bad feeling suddenly washed over me.
"Xiao Anzi, didn't you go to see off the Grand Tutor? Why are you back so soon?"
Before he could catch his breath, Xiao Anzi said in a hoarse voice, "Eunuch, something has happened! Quickly inform His Majesty that the Junior Tutor is summoning him!"
The Junior Tutor is calling Your Majesty?
Qian Gui's heart skipped a beat; something really had happened!
He didn't have time to ask any more questions and pulled Xiao Anzi into the store.
The emperor and his ministers, who were in the middle of a meeting, first heard hurried footsteps. When they turned around, they saw the usually strict and disciplined Eunuch Qian leading a sweaty little eunuch in. They were all a little confused.
Emperor Mingxi did not reprimand him. He knew that Qian Gui was always sensible, and that he must have something to hide if he disregarded the rules like this.
"Qian Gui, what happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Your Majesty, this is Xiao Anzi. He was the one I arranged to escort the Junior Tutor. He came running over in a panic, saying that something happened and the Junior Tutor wants Your Majesty to come over."
"Calling me? Xiao Anzi, explain yourself clearly. Where is the Grand Tutor, and why do you want me to come over?"
A group of people stared intently at him. Xiao Anzi swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down.
Does no one think it's inappropriate for a mere subject like the Junior Tutor to call His Majesty, the sovereign, over?
Doesn't anyone think this is a bit contrary to the principles of Heaven?
Putting aside all that nonsense, Xiao Anzi knelt down and quickly recounted what had happened after he left the palace, "The Grand Tutor asked if you would intervene?"
Emperor Mingxi slammed his fist on the table in anger. The little brat was always causing him trouble. The Grand Tutor asked him if he would take care of it, implying that if he didn't, she would take care of it for him!
The Yu family father and son, standing in the crowd, were even more anxious. The Fourth Prince was a reckless and unruly man. What if he hurt his granddaughter?
So Yu Chongshan said, "Your Majesty, why don't we go and take a look first, so that no one gets hurt?"
Emperor Mingxi also thought of the hot-tempered and fiercely protective Divine Artifact Master. If that person had his eye on him, he would be severely injured, if not killed.
If this kid accidentally hurts the Junior Tutor, Emperor Mingxi thought of the group of officials following closely behind him.
He couldn't protect that kid either!
Meanwhile, Yue Fuguang is battling the fourth prince, the most troublesome prince in the palace. The battle is...
The fighting was not as intense as expected.
It's unclear whether this first appearance of the Fourth Prince was a mere showpiece, all bark and no bite, or whether he was intimidated by Yue Fuguang's actions.
In any case, the current situation is that the Fourth Prince, who was extremely arrogant from the moment he appeared, is now being suppressed by Yue Fuguang's aura.
"You are the Fourth Prince, right? As for who I am..." Yue Fuguang's lips curled into a mocking smile, "This young master does not believe you do not know."
Seeing that he wanted to refute, she continued, "Don't deny it. Although you were punished and sent to a Buddhist temple to reflect on your mistakes for several months and did not return to the palace, you can't say you know nothing about what's going on in the palace."
Yue Fuguang looked him up and down twice. "You dare to provoke me, the young master, as soon as you get back? Who gave you the guts?"
The fourth prince lacked confidence, but still tried to save face, saying, "Even if you are the Junior Tutor of our dynasty, so what? You are still a subject, and a subject should obey the orders of my royal family."
