Led by the Old Madam Yu, those with official titles, like the Old Madam and the Eldest Madam, were all dressed in full imperial robes.

Madame Sun, who didn't hold an imperial title, was also in full regalia like the other young ladies, showing respect and awe for the imperial power.

Soon, the incense table was set up. Just as Yue Fuguang was about to kneel down with the Old Madam Yu and the others, she was stopped by the imperial messenger.

This man looked to be under forty, of medium build, with a fair complexion and short beard. His eyes were bright and full of spirit, and his face was full of fortitude. Judging from his appearance, he was a decent person.

Wasn't it usually the eunuchs in the palace who were responsible for proclaiming imperial edicts?

The man in front of her didn't seem like one. He was wearing official robes, but she couldn't tell what rank he was.

After all, this was an imaginary dynasty, and she couldn't apply the rules of her home world.

He said, "Miss Seven, His Majesty has decreed that you have the privilege of not kneeling before anyone, including the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Queen, within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty."

"Yes, this humble girl thanks His Majesty for his kindness," Yue Fuguang said, with a flash of keenness in her slightly lowered eyes. It was time for her to start acting.

"Little Bead, why does this imperial messenger look a bit familiar to me?"

The system was also in the mood for acting. After performing a great show with Yue Fuguang the previous day, it suddenly had an overwhelming desire to act, and now it preferred its identity as the "Boundary-Breaking Bead."

As a divine artifact from the Immortal Realm, it sounded much more imposing than just being a system.

So the system cheerfully replied, [Master, this official is Wei Ping, the junior magistrate of the Supreme Court. You probably saw him at the palace banquet yesterday.]

Reminded by the system, Yue Fuguang suddenly realized. "Isn't it usually the eunuchs in the palace who proclaim imperial edicts? Why is this official in charge of justice here?"

Yue Fuguang didn't know that Wei Ping had argued vehemently with his colleagues to get this chance to proclaim the edict. He had defeated many of his peers who wanted to take this opportunity to befriend this young immortal.

His Majesty, considering his hard work in handling the affairs of Marquis Changqing's Manor since yesterday, had specially allowed him to come and proclaim the edict.

Those who could hear Yue Fuguang's thoughts were fighting tooth and nail for the chance to proclaim the edict.

To those who couldn't hear, this behavior seemed very strange.

They really couldn't understand why some of their colleagues, who had seemed a bit abnormal since yesterday, were "acting up" again after just one day of being okay.

Of course, this thought was only temporary. After Yue Fuguang started attending the court meetings today and more people gradually could hear her thoughts, they would realize how much their colleagues had been hiding from them!

Looking back at those who still couldn't hear, as former members of that group, they would realize how ignorant their previous thoughts had been!

Now, as part of those who could hear, they suddenly felt a sense of superiority.

Did their colleagues, whom they had thought were "acting up" before, see them as "fools" kept in the dark?

Not to mention Wei Ping's mental state upon hearing their conversation. While multitasking, he waited for everyone to kneel down and Yue Fuguang to stand out among them before starting to proclaim the edict.

Yue Fuguang and the system's private conversation continued. She said, "Little Bead, does the current Emperor know that whoever I kneel before will die, which is why he gave me the privilege of not kneeling before anyone?"

As soon as she said this, sweat instantly broke out on Wei Ping's forehead. Fortunately, Yue Fuguang had her head down, so he could pretend she didn't see his strange reaction.

Wei Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he almost dropped the imperial edict in his hand.

If one paid more attention, they would have noticed that his voice almost changed tone at that moment, and his hand was still trembling slightly.

Wei Ping used all his self - control and years of emotional management skills to barely control himself from showing his true feelings on the spot.

He still fulfilled his duty, proclaiming the edict in a steady, even cadenced voice.

[Master, Little Bead can confirm that in this small world, apart from us, there is no one beyond the realm of ordinary mortals.

This world lacks spiritual energy, and it's very difficult to cultivate immortality. How could anyone see through your true identity?]

Yue Fuguang felt a little more at ease and said, "That's good. We still need to keep a low profile. Although life without divine power is inconvenient, I can endure it for a few decades. I'm sure I can."

Yue Fuguang encouraged herself, which moved the Old Madam Yu, the Eldest Madam Yu, and Wei Ping, who was still proclaiming the edict.

Indeed, a good immortal coming to the mortal world to experience life, even if living well, couldn't compare to the life in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, after hearing what she said yesterday, if it were them, they would also feel a huge gap.

Thinking about her previous experiences, the Yu family felt even more guilty.

Even Wei Ping looked at the Yu family with a bit of condemnation in his eyes.

Yue Fuguang's words continued, "Is this why Master sealed my divine power and memory at the same time?

I only vaguely remember a little of my past, and it's all about the modern society I visited during my previous experience. Even so, I can feel the difference. If I still remembered my life in the Immortal Realm, I wouldn't be able to live a single day."

The system also quite agreed and said, [Master, the Divine Lord really thought things through. He was afraid you couldn't bear the hardships of the mortal world, so he sealed your past good days.]

"But I still remember a little, although not much, but..."

Her indescribable expression was obvious to anyone who paid a little attention. So Wei Ping, who had already finished proclaiming the edict, couldn't pretend not to see it.

He could only play dumb and said, "Vice - Grand Tutor, do you still have any questions?"

He said to Yue Fuguang with a kind face, "You might as well speak up. From now on, we'll be colleagues in the court. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Hearing this, Yue Fuguang didn't hesitate and directly said, "Lord Wei, I wonder why His Majesty appointed me as the Vice - Grand Tutor.

After all, I was just an ordinary person before. Although I lived in a Taoist temple for a few years, I really didn't learn anything. I don't know anything about Taoism."

Wei Ping carefully chose his words, thinking of what His Majesty had told him before coming to proclaim the edict. He said, "Vice - Grand Tutor, you don't have to worry. The Great Yan Dynasty had a Grand Tutor and a Vice - Grand Tutor decades ago.

But after the two officials passed away, no divine oracle was received, so the positions of Grand Tutor and Vice - Grand Tutor have been vacant for many years."

"Divine oracle? What kind of divine oracle?" A curious look of exploration appeared on her face.

"His Majesty said that he received a divine oracle in a dream three years ago, saying that a noble lady with a lotus flower would descend upon the Great Yan Dynasty and could serve as the Vice - Grand Tutor of our dynasty.

In fact, His Majesty had been secretly searching for many years. When he saw the lotus mark on your forehead yesterday, he knew that the person he had been looking for was right in front of him."

Yue Fuguang secretly laughed. Emperor Mingxi had really gone to great lengths to give her a proper identity. The imposing mark she had given herself was just to make herself look more special and divine.
