Emperor Mingxi exclaimed, "Good heavens! This little brat will come up with any method to shut me up! It's just that I don't deserve to eat that fragrant and sweet chocolate!"
Why is it that the more he can't eat it, the more curious he becomes about what it tastes like?
Yue Fuguang smiled innocently, "If Your Majesty wants to eat it, I really do have one last one here."
As she spoke, she held the candy up in front of Emperor Mingxi, "Your Majesty, please eat it. It's quite effective at relieving internal heat."
Emperor Mingxi accepted the candy but did not eat it immediately. He was afraid that if he ate something sour or bitter, he would not be able to control his expression and would lose his dignity in front of his ministers.
Lords: Your Majesty, don't you know that your authority has long been shattered beyond repair?
Emperor Mingxi, unaware of the thoughts his trusted ministers had about him, changed the subject, saying, "Fuguang, there's another matter I wanted to discuss with you today."
Seeing that Emperor Mingxi did not immediately take the elixir, Yue Fuguang did not force him, and followed his words, asking, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
"I thought that you would be nine years old after the New Year, which is the age when you should start studying. So I discussed it with your grandfather and decided to send you to the Hongwen Academy in the palace. What do you think?"
Yue Fuguang rolled her eyes inwardly. "If I say no, you won't take me?"
She thought about it seriously and decided that going to school wasn't a bad idea. She would be going to other worlds to do missions in the future, and having knowledge to rely on would be a good thing.
But she had just finished studying hard in her previous life, and even went bald from studying so hard to get into university. She arrived here in less than two years. She hadn't even had a few days of comfortable life before she had to work from dawn till dusk again. How could she possibly stand it?
Schooling is a must, but bargaining is also essential. "Your Majesty, if I go to school, does that mean I don't need to come to the morning court?"
Going to school is more than an hour later than attending court, so she can sleep a little longer!
Emperor Mingxi: !!! With the Divine Artifact Lord's words about wanting to kill the emperor at the drop of a hat, he suddenly dared not make the unreasonable request that Yue Fuguang finish the morning court session before going to school.
He was afraid that if he spoke out, the divine artifact would kill him on the spot, and no one could stop him!
He tentatively suggested, "How about we come to court again in a couple of days?"
Moonlight nodded. It's important to accumulate knowledge for future missions, but the task at hand is even more important.
"I won't be going to the Hongwen Hall on the day of court. As Your Majesty knows, I injured my body before and shouldn't overexert myself."
Emperor Mingxi cursed Yu Qinchun in his heart, and quickly said, "Indeed, Fu Guang's health is more important. If you get tired while studying, just tell your teachers."
As he spoke, he looked at the Hanlin Academy members and several high-ranking officials. These people all had teaching duties, especially the Hanlin Academy scholars, reading scholars, and lecturers, who were the main officials in charge of teaching.
Everyone quickly replied, "Your Majesty is right. We will certainly prioritize the health of the Junior Tutor."
As the instructor of etiquette lessons, Minister of Rites Zhang Zhongping even said, "The young master is still young, so it is fine if his coursework is a little less."
In Dayan, even if this person's etiquette is completely unconventional, it can only mean that the rules are wrong, not that this ancestor doesn't understand etiquette.
Suddenly, Yue Fuguang remembered something else and asked, "Your Majesty, should I find a study companion?"
Emperor Mingxi said, "Indeed, one person can usually bring two to four companions. Has Fuguang decided who to choose? Do you want me to help you find one?"
Upon hearing the emperor's words, the eyes of adults with daughters or granddaughters of marriageable age suddenly lit up dramatically. Some looked at Emperor Mingxi, while others gazed at Yue Fuguang.
Yue Fuguang decisively shook her head and said, "No need, I'll find it myself."
[Has the master decided who to choose as a study companion? This person needs to be chosen carefully. Take this opportunity to train some people for yourself, so that you won't have to work hard for whatever the master wants to do in the future.]
"We really need to choose carefully. Whether we settle on an island or stay in Dayan in the future, if we want to do something new and interesting, we need loyal and capable people to do it."
Hearing them say this, the ministers' hearts grew even more eager. For them, outsiders, what could be a closer relationship than becoming the Little Immortal Lord's study companion?
If even one person in the family becomes the Little Immortal Lord's study companion, it's like the whole family attains enlightenment! They automatically become members of the Little Immortal Lord's 'nation'!
"As for the candidates, two of the sisters in the family will be chosen, and the other two will depend on whether Grandpa and the others have any good candidates."
What kind of reading companion is the owner looking for?
"First and foremost, you need someone as loyal as Little Pearl, and it would be even better if they were also clever and quick-witted."
Indeed, loyalty to one's master is the most important thing. Anything I have is hundreds or thousands of years more advanced than this era. No matter how useful it is, it won't work if the owner is not loyal.
Although Master is now in mortal form and his memories are sealed, he cannot lose the dignity of a deity. This little bead can help Master observe people; I can tell at a glance whether someone is loyal or not.
"I almost forgot, the little bead also has the ability to observe the fortune and merits of mortals."
[Hehehe, the little bead's abilities have been greatly weakened by the rules of this world, and it's not even one ten-thousandth of its master's abilities before the tribulation.]
"Was I really this good before? I don't even remember!"
"Master used to be able to move mountains and fill seas, and turn clouds into rain with a mere thought. Once Master successfully completes his tribulation and ascends to the rank of High God, he will be even more powerful!"
Emperor Mingxi and his ministers were dumbfounded. Was this the power of a god? Any one of these items could feed them for a lifetime!
They were so envious they were numb. As for jealousy, it was out of the question, because the gap between them was like heaven and earth. They could only look up to them and couldn't even have any other thoughts!
Thinking this way, my desire to curry favor with someone powerful became even stronger.
As everyone watched Yue Fuguang's figure disappear outside the hall, some of the more impatient ones began eagerly approaching Yu Chongshan to promote their daughters and granddaughters.
Yu Zhongchun and Yu Shuchun felt a strange mix of envy and pride when they saw their father suddenly become so popular.
This can be considered as bringing honor to his family through his daughter/niece!
Especially Yu Shuchun, from what she's seen these past few days, Fu Guang's relationship with her daughter Xuan is better than the other sisters.
Judging from what her parents said, it was related to the kindness that Xuan-jie had shown when Fu Guang first returned, when she was still an adopted daughter who was not valued by others.
In Emperor Mingxi's Hall of Mental Cultivation, a group of adults were still fighting tooth and nail for two spots as companions to his studies.
As Yue Fuguang and the system strolled slowly outside with Xiao Fuzi, they were also discussing this matter.
[Host, finding a study companion is a great opportunity for you to expand your network; you should choose carefully.]
"System, as for connections, even if I don't actively cultivate them, as I get older and can do more and more, connections will come to me on their own."
Besides, rather than letting their children become my connections, I'd rather skip this process and turn the patriarchs into my connections directly!
Trust me, our conversation just now will have unexpected positive effects.
