"Come at me all at once if you dare!"
Shi Yu has never been afraid of fighting.
When the Minister of Revenue saw that Shi Yu was being forced to drink a penalty cup instead of a polite toast, his last bit of hesitation was overwhelmed by anger.
He immediately waved his hand and issued orders.
"Grab it!"
"Who dares!"
No sooner had the Minister of Revenue finished speaking than several guards suddenly appeared in front of Shi Yu.
A bright, shiny token was displayed as if one were actually there.
The Minister of Revenue turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down on the spot, shouting.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The guard holding the token spoke, "We are ordered to protect Princess Shengping in secret. No one is allowed to harm her; otherwise, they will be killed without exception."
The Minister of Revenue broke out in a cold sweat and trembled inwardly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I respectfully see Princess Shengping off."
The Minister of Revenue's voice trembled as he swallowed his pride and anger.
He never expected that the emperor would send his secret guards to protect Shi Yu.
It seems that Princess Shengping holds a much higher place in the Emperor's heart than anyone imagined.
How could they let her commit such a violent act? There's something behind this...
The Minister of Revenue trembled even more as he thought about the distant future.
Could it be that His Majesty secretly permitted Princess Shengping's actions today?
Has His Majesty already learned of the foolish things he did?
Upon thinking of these things, the Minister of Revenue trembled even more and bent over, prostrating himself on the ground.
"If only we had done this earlier, it would have been fine."
Shi Yu nodded with satisfaction at her double chin.
She's not even a year old yet, and even with a double chin, she's still incredibly cute.
"Let's go, let's move on to the next family to offer New Year's greetings."
As Shi Yu spoke, her small body flashed quickly, and she appeared outside the gate of the Ministry of Revenue.
She glanced at the gate of the Minister of Revenue's house, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered.
"He's not a good person, he's awful."
As she spoke, she lightly tapped her little finger and made a mark on the gate of the Minister of Revenue's house.
"Hehe..." Then, she left with a smile and headed to the next store.
The matter of Emperor Tai'an sending his secret guards to follow Shi Yu.
The news quickly spread from the Minister of Revenue's residence to the ears of other ministers.
Even if other ministers disliked Shi Yu, they dared not offend her.
This time, Shi Yu didn't even need to come in; instead, he simply waited at the gate with a purse containing silver notes.
As soon as Shi Yu arrived, before she could even speak, the minister stepped forward with a smile and stuffed a purse into her arms.
"Princess Shengping, Happy New Year."
"It's rare for you to come out on such a snowy day."
"Hurry up and go, the next minister is waiting for you at the door."
With the ministers becoming more self-aware, Shi Yu's actions regarding collecting bribes became much faster.
Even poorer officials in the capital would give her a purse containing 100 taels of silver.
Shi Yu looked at the increasing number of silver notes in Gua66's system space and a bright smile appeared on his face.
[Wow, so it turns out that when people visit each other on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they really do receive a lot of red envelopes!]
【Hahaha……】
Let's continue.
There are so many officials in the capital; we've only just begun our New Year's greetings.
Let's go, let's go pay New Year's visits and collect red envelopes.
Shi Yu paid his respects all morning, and it was noon when he arrived at the residence of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
At this moment, her stomach began to growl with hunger.
When Xu Wanzhou, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, heard Shi Yu's stomach rumbling, his gaze involuntarily shifted downwards.
He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "Princess Shengping, if you don't mind the simple food at your residence, why don't you come in with me for lunch first before we go to pay our New Year's greetings?"
"Having lunch?" Shi Yu's dark eyes lit up.
She'd visited so many families to wish them a Happy New Year, and this was the first one to invite her in for a meal.
Shi Yu nodded happily.
"Okay, okay."
"Shi Yan, let's go inside for lunch."
Shi Yu called to Shi Yan and followed Xu Wanzhou inside.
The previous Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was Xu Wanzhou's father.
Thanks to Shi Yu, he has now retired early.
He spends his days in the mansion exchanging glances with his wife, but he never dares to argue with her.
Because he used to be in charge, but now his son is in charge.
His son is very protective of his mother, which makes him feel like he has no status at home now.
Seeing that Xu Wanzhou had actually invited Shi Yu, that little devil, back for dinner.
His father was so angry his eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.
Why did you bring her back?
Xu's father bullied the fisherman because he was young, so he said everything he could.
Especially the humiliation he recently suffered at the hands of the mother and son.
"You have no idea that I am the way I am now because of her."
"You have no idea how many civil and military officials she has harmed in the court, or how many enemies she has made."
"You still invited her in for dinner? Aren't you afraid of making political enemies?"
“Father, Princess Shengping is still a child. Please don’t speak like that,” Xu Wanzhou advised, frowning slightly.
“Princess Shengping was hungry, I just invited her back for a meal.”
"Is the princess hungry?" Upon hearing this, Madam Xu immediately went out and instructed the servants to add two more delicious dishes.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone's dishes will be pretty good.
Shi Yu was placed in the main seat and smiled happily.
"Lord Xu, Madam Xu, please enjoy your food. There's no need to be so polite."
After Shi Yu finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed her chopsticks, intending to pick up some food.
But she wasn't even a year old yet.
Children her age from ordinary families are just learning to sit, but she's already running around and jumping wildly.
