Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn

Gu Mingyue watched her brother climb out of the carriage, barely suppressing a smile.

After undergoing various systematic training, her brother now has a face as tough as steel.

Gu Mingli, with his stubbornly thick skin, stood helplessly on the official road.

He took a deep breath as he gazed at the imperial carriage ahead.

He and Xiao Ye are completely different personalities, how can anyone imitate him?!

Isn't this the same as making a happy golden retriever who loves to wag its tail do a hardcore cross-dressing role as a domineering and aloof wolf king?

If this could be replicated one-to-one, even an Oscar-winning actor would have to kowtow three times and shout "I admire you!"

Gu Mingli lowered his head and sighed, his shoulders slumping.

However, in order to obtain the printing press blueprints... and to help Xiao Ye protect his empire...

Fight!

From this moment forward, he is the emperor's number one voyeur!

Plus, the ultimate, twisted version of Xiao Ye's cosplay!

Gu Mingli clenched his fists tightly, frantically trying to reassure himself.

"Everyone dies eventually, either from showing off or from provoking others. As long as I don't laugh, I'm the most convincing emperor ever..."

"reasonable?"

Xiao Ye's deep voice came from the carriage in front.

He lifted half of the carriage curtain and peered back at Gu Mingli, who was still standing there.

"Get in the car, let's go."

"Hey! Here it comes!"

Gu Mingli's composure crumbled instantly.

I ran over as if by reflex, lifted the curtain, and skillfully bent down and crawled into the carriage.

The spacious carriage.

Xiao Ye was leaning against the soft cushion in the center of the car seat.

On the small wooden table in front of him, several memorials were neatly stacked, and a wolf-hair brush rested on the brush holder.

As he watched the person get into the car, Xiao Ye slightly lifted his eyelids.

"You're back? What did your sister want with you?"

Gu Mingli sat upright in the seat to the side.

While imitating Xiao Ye, she forced herself to appear calm and composed, adjusting the hem of her robe.

He kept glancing at Xiao Ye's every subtle expression and movement out of the corner of his eye.

"Um...it's nothing serious. I was just bored on the way here and wanted to chat with you."

Xiao Ye calmly hummed in agreement and didn't press the matter further.

The wheels rolled over the official road, and the carriage began to move smoothly.

The two sat upright in the carriage for a long time, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Normally, by this time, Gu Mingli would have already started rambling on about finding topics to talk about.

But now, he seemed to be in a meditative state.

However, Xiao Ye didn't think much of it.

He stretched out his long arm, picked up a folding book that had been delivered by fast horse from Kyoto from the table, lowered his eyes and began to read it.

Gu Mingli's gaze initially wandered between the roof and the floor, but then he saw that Xiao Ye was completely absorbed in writing folded paperwork and didn't even lift his head.

He boldly turned his head and openly examined the usually aloof emperor.

Xiao Ye held the folding book in his left hand and the pen in his right, his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze deep and focused, his back straight.

Wow, so dignified and elegant.

Gu Mingli silently memorized these characteristics.

Just then, a glaring, deathly pink notification popped up in my mind:

[Task timer started. Current progress: 0%]

Holy crap! There's a progress bar?!

That means if you can't imitate it well, then your progress bar isn't advanced enough!

Xiao Ye was extremely efficient at work. He quickly finished reviewing one book and then moved on to the next one with a flick of his wrist.

Gu Mingli had been mimicking Xiao Ye's expression for a long time, but the Barbie pink system panel in front of him was still flashing an irregular red light.

He does want to imitate it more closely.

But Xiao Ye was looking at confidential memorials. Could a mere subject like him possibly go over and say, "Your Majesty, I'd like to review a couple of them too?"

That's not far from plotting to seize power, is it?

Gu Mingli looked around the carriage, trying to find something handy to use as a "memorial".

Finally, he pulled out a blank ledger from the file box in the corner.

This was leftover from when we were planning disaster relief supplies in Jizhou.

Gu Mingli was overjoyed.

He placed the account book neatly on his lap.

Then, mimicking Xiao Ye's posture, he calmly picked up the account book, his left hand slightly spreading its five fingers to hold the account book, while his right hand took another pen from the pen holder and dipped it in thick black ink.

Just as I was getting ready to put pen to paper, the system's broken, mechanical voice popped up again:

[Warning! Host, your facial expression imitation is far from convincing; your eyes are too innocent and foolish. Please add a sense of imperial depth!]

Gu Mingli mentally slammed the table: ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ┌┛〃

You perverted system, why do you have so many demands?!

After a brief psychological battle, "Gu: The Ultimate Pervert: Mingli" was officially launched.

He secretly raised his eyes and stole another glance at the curve of Xiao Ye's eyebrows and eyes.

Then, he tried to control his facial muscles, making his originally relaxed eyebrows furrow sharply in the middle, forming a "川" (river) character.

Then he lowered his gaze slightly and pressed his lips together into a straight line.

He forced himself to put on a deep, aloof, and unapproachable demeanor.

perfect.

Gu Mingli gave himself a thumbs up in his mind.

He looks exactly like a busy and concerned emperor right now, doesn't he?

However, a problem arises.

What should he write about?!

The folded papers in Xiao Ye's hands were filled with flattery, reports, and requests from officials from various regions.

After reading it, the emperor would either reject it with a vermilion brush or write "Approved," his brushstrokes flowing freely and gracefully.

Gu Mingli held the pen in a stalemate for a full three seconds.

Forget it, I'll just write something random to fill the space and fool the system first!

He lowered his wrist and began to write.

Hmm, it feels pretty good.

I'll just write this.

Gu Mingli wrote more and more fluently, the tip of his pen moving "swish" across the paper.

To enhance the similarity, he deliberately imitated Xiao Ye's brushstrokes, including the subtle habit of pausing slightly at the turning points.

His brows furrowed more and more, his eyes sharp, as if every word he wrote at this moment was related to the safety and prosperity of the Great Xiao Dynasty!

The first page was filled instantly, and he turned it over without any hesitation.

Keep writing!

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye, who was sitting next to him, had just finished grading a rather tricky folded book.

He raised his long, slender fingers to rub his aching temples and relax his body.

He glanced at Gu Mingli out of the corner of his eye.

This man had been writing furiously in an empty ledger since the beginning.

Judging from that solemn expression, could it be that he has written down some brilliant strategy for governing the country?

Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, closed the book in his hand, and casually tossed it onto the table.

Curious, he quietly shifted his position, moving closer to Gu Mingli, and craned his neck to look at the inner pages of the account book.

"What are you writing, so engrossed?"

The sudden sound startled Gu Mingli.

Before he could cover the ledger, Xiao Ye had already moved closer to him.

The other person's gaze fell unobstructed on the pages of the ledger.

正 ...

The paper is filled with neatly written "正" characters.

Looking at one page, there were at least three hundred characters written.

Xiao Ye: "..."

Gu Mingli: "..."
