My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Qiong has been very lively lately.

Each side employed a variety of methods, employing every imaginable skill.

However, in the past, girls from ordinary meritorious families who made a big fuss and used all sorts of tricks to gain fame and fortune would try every means to spread a good reputation so that they could marry into a good family in the future.

But Qiongdu is different now.

These days, it is the young masters of noble families in Qiongdu who are using all their skills just to spread a good reputation.

There are also many young men from ordinary families who often dress up carefully before going out, hoping to seize an opportunity for themselves.

Why did this happen? Well, it's because some smart people figured it out first.

Throughout history, which emperor didn't have a harem of three thousand beauties?

In order to consolidate their power, which court official didn't send women into the emperor's harem?

Why can't the old system be used anymore?

It's just that the person sitting on the throne has changed from a man to a woman? Doesn't a woman's harem need to be replenished?

If you can't add women, then add men.

However, no one has grasped Ji Yunshuang's true temperament, and no one dares to step forward and petition Ji Yunshuang to expand her harem.

Moreover, sending women to the emperor's harem was a custom that had existed since ancient times. No one saw anything wrong with doing so.

But many people still couldn't bring themselves to openly send their sons to the Empress's harem.

So some clever people started by using tricks.

Those families who had such ideas all displayed their unique skills and expertise.

Those with strong connections who could find out Ji Yunshuang's whereabouts tried every means to arrange for their outstanding sons to bump into her, hoping to gain her favor and attract her attention, and thus be chosen by her to enter her harem.

Since there was no way to find out Ji Yunshuang's whereabouts, they could only try to expand their reputation in order to attract Ji Yunshuang's attention.

"Your Highness, these people are utterly shameless. How could they be so... so shameless? They actually used tricks to try and seduce His Majesty the Divine Lord!" Zhao Lin said to Lu Yinheng indignantly.

Lu Yinheng felt a surge of anger as he thought of those peacock-like men in Qiongdu who used every trick in the book.

Although Lu Yinheng felt disgusted and angry at the methods used by these powerful families, he was not overly worried or lost his temper.

After all, based on his understanding, Ji Yunshuang was not a licentious person. She wouldn't bring these men to the harem just because they were flirting with her.

What made him feel even more urgent were the young male officials who were unmarried and could frequently appear around Ji Yunshuang.

These male officials were capable, not overly obsequious, and often appeared by Ji Yunshuang's side on official business...

Even though it was only a few brief encounters, he could tell that many of them had developed feelings of admiration for Ji Yunshuang.

But he also knew in his heart that such a wonderful woman like her could not help but be admired by them.

She was not only beautiful, but also possessed extraordinary abilities, unmatched by anyone in the world. She was both a goddess and a mortal emperor; to win her favor meant a life that would soar to the heavens.

……

How many people can resist such temptation? How many can resist the allure of the opportunity before them?

However, they were able to frequently come into contact with him by virtue of their official positions.

Seeing Lu Yinheng's furrowed brows and gloomy expression, Zhao Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "However, Your Highness doesn't need to take those despicable things too seriously. Who among them can compare to Your Highness? Moreover, Your Highness is with His Majesty, as well as the princes and princesses."

Even if they gain status through their fathers' influence, those people are still no match for His Highness.

Moreover, in terms of appearance and talent, who can compare to His Highness?

How could His Majesty the Divine Lord not value Your Highness, but instead favor those self-degrading wild men?
